Help Internal tf going r/o

[dart16]

Hi all, I'm trying to get to the bottom of the "my tablet forgets my changes" problem. The problem appears to be the internal tf card goes r/o.

I have seen this command that is supposed to 'fix' the problem..

\system\bin\fsck_msdos -y \dev\block\vold\179:17. then reboot.

however, the syntax appears to be wrong, and I am having a problem with the :17 bit.

As you can see from this screenshot /system/bin/fsck_msdos -y /dev/block/vold/179:6 seems to check and rectify the integrity of the internal tf card file system....or does it? I am no software guru, perhaps someone can explain to me if I have done what I think i might have?

Hey Dart, I Don't know whats going on with the R/W problem,
I've seen alot of people getting this problem,I one of them.
I tried it as you know from answering one of my posts,
Problem came back again!. Bought a new class 10 16 gb micro card and installed it.
a day later it unmounted one time and hasn't done it again (yet).
I hope somebody can investigate and find a fix for us.
Good luck with it,
Russ.

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with shutting the tablet down quickly...like holding the off button down until it shuts off. The internal card is, after all, a mounted memory card that should be unmounted before removing, this is presumably done during a normal, structured shutdown but possibly not done when power is suddenly removed.
The thing to try is the above command, which seems to run ok on a working tf card and see what it finds on a read only faulty card.....

Dart,I never shutdown by holding the off button, i always shutdown by the shutdown icon that opens the Gscript to shutdown the op sys. Like I said it happened once
and hopefully it does not happen again.
Happy NewYear.
