My phone bricked itself the other day. Since then my phone has been one big PITA after another. Right now Im using Eugenes 2.2 rom and only have one (real big) problem
The internal memory card shows full at 12.78gb, but under Application Storage, Available SPace shows 0.00. I cannot do much of anything with the phone now.
Also...check through adb shell, mount it shows
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Not sure if thats the reason or not

look theres all kinds of topics on this . you need to go back to stock and start over best bet for you . so get the 2.1 stock unmodded rom and see what happens its all rt here
I tried to flash ODIN back to stock, but the phone never booted!
My internal sd card wouldn't read with eugenes rom. When I flashed the zip with clockwork I di a factory restore while still in recovery. All problems went away after that.

remove your external sd card and reboot your phone, your internal memory will mount just fine. for some reason 2.2 cannot see certain branded external memory cards and it just makes the phone think you dont have internal memory or external memory.

Can someone verify in Windows explorer the size of the interal SD card.
I fear I screwed it up by using Rom Manager to format the SD Card and would like to see if my phone is reporting the full capacity of the card or if it has been partitioned by Rom Manager.
Thanks.
According to my Vibrant, the internal storage seems to be just under 13GB.
Mine is just above 13Gb.. Why do you ask?

Internal SD - 13.03GB
I ask because no program will format my internal SD card.
Froyo no brick does not repartition the device.
I have used ODIN with and without "repartition" and it always just leaves the files and partition structure the same.
Is there an ADB command that will manually restructure the internal SD and format it. From there I should be able to ODIN back in to flash to stock.
Everytime I do the ODIN to get back to stock, no matter what settings or rom I use, it will not repartition.
I also always get a checksum error when I boot into recovery mode.
I was never able to flash a VOODOO rom either.
I get an error that it is not compatible??? Maybe because the NAND has been resized? I did verify that I do not have the large NAND.
maybe someone could help by running a "df" on a root shell (termina, adb shell, etc.) and post the result so I can compare mine to yours
here is what i get
well your pic shows that you have 13GB in your phone, that is pretty much wat everyone have. so no worry. but as your problem strucking you, u guna need a guru to help you out. sorry i can not help you here.

Yeah, figured I need a real android sdk pro to figure out how to get this straight.
I see the 13gb and that looks good, just wondered if all the other partitions are like everyone else.
I think I selected a swap file size from the partition sd in clockwork. Maybe that swap is the wrong size....who knows???
Thanks anyway though
Help guys i been having this problem i installed Brillian Corners and a bunch of other roms. but when i get on i like something weird happens on almost every one. when i go to the market to get a program it tells me there is no space. but my internal is empty and my 16gb external is empty too. so i got almosy 32gb free whats up?

i tried puttying my sd card after i installed rom and other apps. and then thats when i recieved mounting errors and internal sd was unmounted for whatever reason. I dont think this rom has support for external sd card. but just based on my expierence
lol this isnt the only on0e its happen to me on
well what do you have your micro sd formated as. i had fat32 but wasnt working in most roms. so i formated it to ext3 and its worked so far...at least in recognizing it.
Beastly mounted it fine.And so did all of gb roms.
also is there maybe just a way to root tapntap i do like it
i think there is. you might have to set up adb and push stuff over. but not to sure on that. you can always use a custom TNT rom. Its still tnt but much snappier and faster
im running 1.2 branch tapntap and it really fast
Hi All,
I have flashed CM7 & now I am wondering, is there any reason to partiton SD card. If yes, then what is the recommended partiton size & an app for partiotioning. I have a 2 GB card. Also, will the card will be recognized by PC if I turn mass storage ON.

Been wondering the same thing. I personally have been flashing different ROMs, Kernels, etc for some time now and I've never bothered to do it, and I've never had trouble. From my understanding I think it helps with using apps2sd instead of in system memory, I'm not sure about this at all though. However, I've personally never needed to do this, my phone's memory has been sufficient for me.
I will say never having done this before, and never using a titanium backup or mybackup root, I've had absolutely no trouble with my various roms performance, battery life, what have you. I'm sure if anyone else responds I'll get chewed out for being a noob about this but it is what it is. I keep everything backed up on the good ole computer.
For the average user, no, there is no reason to partition the SD card.
sd card partitions is used to increase the internal storage. applied with some script.
very useful for device with low internal memory.

hi guys please i need some help, i erased the entire internal storage of my vibrant since i always saw the crap like avatar and all the other stuff that came with the phone, and installed many ROM's but in many ocassions had the problem of low space notification, i did what it said on every single forum, but the problem was always there, thats why i decided to format the internal storage, big mistake, so now i can't do much, all i still have is the CWM v2.5.1.3 - voodoo logfix
and this phone is really hard compared to my mytouch 4G, i can't make it to find the roms from the external sd card and i don't know how to put the roms on the internal since the computer doesn't recognize it
If in a pinch and you have nothing of value on internal storage I'd just ODIN to stock and re-root.
Still no luck, i can't make odin to recognize the phone

If you can get into recovery then go into mounts and storage and mount usb mass storage and you should be able to put your rom of choice onto your internal sd and flash as usual

I have a 16gb Samsung Galaxy s5, that is rooted and its external SD card used to work just fine its internal storage also displayed just fine on pc. However when I booted up link2sd on teh phone and tried to link or bind stuff (i was restored my files and data from an old 4.4.2 lg volt phone to my galaxy s5 6.0.1 phone) and all my apps and data restored just fine via titanium backup. apparently though link2sd rusn differently on an s5 using mashmallow than it dos on a lg volt using kitkat as when I booted it up and rie dto rebind/relink all my apps back to sd on the s5.
It got a message saying something like (i dont remember the error well) "this device doesnt support sdext and needs sdefs, would you like to change it. This can be changed back at any time in the slider" So I figured. Ok even if it dosnt work I can change it back with the slider so I hit yes to change. Yet nothings binded or linked and when I tried to go back and relink all apps manually its saying sd card not found or mounted. Im thinking umm this card was JUST used to restore a titanium backup so why isnt i found?
So I plug the phone into my pc and sure enough not only do I not see an external storage I also notice I cant access the phones internal storage (well i can but its nothing it it) and the pc shows it as 127 mb free of 128 mb... im thinking 128mb? Umm it should say 16gb. So i chdck the storage on the phone itself and it says sd card is unmounted (titanium backup says the same thing when before link2sd titanium accessed my sd card just fine). But the internal storage on the phone reads as 9.82 Gb used of 14-16gb (close to it) which is correct so Im like why doesnt the pc read it as such? I used to just fine before I did what I did on link2sd.
Lastly i took the sd card out of the phone and put in a different sd card and it shows it as unmounted too. so got the first sd card that I previously took out of the phone plugged it into my pc and my pc reads it just fine along with all my backups and what not so i know the sd card isnt damaged. Sooo how do i change whatever i changed on link2sd to get my phone to recognize my sd card correctly again and get my pc to recognize the external storage when its plugged into the phone and recognize the internal storage of the phone as the right size again?
update.
Ok Im having a HUGE problem. My phone worked fine at first, then I rooted it and used titanium backup to restore all my apps from my old phone (an lg volt) to my current phone an S5... everything was fine. My phone recognized my SD card, when I plugged the phone into my PC it would show my correct phone internal storage as well as my sd card storage. Then I ran link2sd to relink all my data to my sd card... even though i didnt need to because unlike my old phone which was 8gb the s5 was 16gb and had more than enough space to run my apps without the link2sd. If I had left that alone we wouldnt be where we are now. However I didnt so here we are.
Link2sd had message saying something like "this device doesnt support /sdext and has to be changed to sdefs (i know im getting the message way wrong but it was something like that) these settings can be changed via slider". So I clicked yes to let it do what it had to do. after all if I didnt like the results I could always change back via the slider right? link2sd required a reboot after the changes were made and now when it boots after the samsung and sprint logos and before the lock screen Im staring at a black screen that shows the time and "no connection" for about 30 secs before the lock screen shows up (this didnt happen before link2sd made whatever changes it made) and the "process system not responding" message shows up. Though the only adverse affects Ive sen from that so far is when I open Gallery it stops and closes automatically so I cant even use it.
However I couldnt find said slider and now when I hooked my phone to PC it shows no external storage and reads my internal as 127MB free of 128mb (yes that right... 128 mb.. on a phone thats supposed to be 16gb). When i go to storage on the phone itself It said sdcard unmounted (as if theres not one there) and my internal storage shows 9gb used of 14gb so the PHONE knows how much gb I should have but my pc doesnt. Also if i take the sdcard out of the phone and plug it into my pc directly everything shows up on it just as it should so i know the sd card isnt broken.
So I found solutions like reboot phone in recovery and have it wipe cache. I did that.... didnt work. Then I tried unrooting the phone and factory data reset (from the phone settings not from the recovery boot). Despite doing a factory rest which SHOULD fix ANYTHING wrong with the phone, delete all apps and make it run just as it did when you got it. That black screen between logos on lock screen still pops up and I get the "process system not responding" message still appears. Now my PC doesnt see my phone at all when Its plugged in.
So I tried booting in safe mode to see if that message still comes up and the answer is yes but now my pc sees my phone (no sd card in it but I doubt it will see it if it was) however it still displays the storage as 127mb of 128mb
So link2sd started this whole problem and factory reset wont even solve it. Ive provided plenty of details. Can this be fixed or if my phone pretty much done now (i can still use it for texts and calls but, its useless hooked to a pc, doesnt recognize external storage anymore and I cant use the gallery sooooo yea. I hope someone has a solution.
You can't partition 64GB up sdcards.
Use Sandisk Sdcards
Never use Kingstom
Your phone supports ext2 if you install ext tool on.
I HATE SAMSUNG and all that is ext4 devices.
Try find yaffs2 devices.

I partitioned my 128gb card just fine
its a samsung card.
Even if I unpartitioned the card that isnt gonna make the phone read it and do what its supposed to do again so. Im gonna need a reply that helps or at least attempts to help the actual MAJOR problems Im having with the phone right now thank you.
Just explained, none of pc types will repartition again your sdcard, this what i said upon, (don't create 64GB up partitions becausr you ca'nt), at least any mobile too. Recuse usage of 64Gb up sdcards
This is a tip, that i learned, samsung is venom, they have the solution for recover your sdcard 128g because they done this, go ask them
Remember:
Never use 64GB up sdcards. Is a sane tip...

and again the sd card is the least of my worries how about the problems I listed like my 16gb phone showing up as 128mb on my pc,. not being able to look at the internal storage files/folders on my pc, the "system process not responding" message that come up, even in safe mode and still hasnt went away after a factory reset as such none of my apps (like google maps, internet or even gallery are working, only thing I can do with this phone now is call and text. How about you try focusing on THOSE issues please. Thank you.
Well in case anyone was wondering I solved the problem, reflashing the stock rom then rerooting fixed everything.. I just know not to use link2sd on this phone again
Having the same problem here... how to fix?
I fixed it
Link2sd creates a backup during the process
Just delete the
System/sdcard.bin or (system/sdcard)
And rename the backup named
sdcard.original.pre-link2sd
To
Sdcard.bin
Reboot phone and #Enjoy
This took me 3 days 2 figure out??

UPDATE!!
Got it! My backup files were in /system/bin
but there were two files (sdcard and sdcard.bin). I deleted the sdcard.bin and renamed the sdcard.original.pre-link2d to sdcard.bin.
