Pretty new to this stuff, a friend of mine who was helping me was unaware that your not supposed to format your "sd" with ROM Manager as his phone doesn't have internal memory, so he essentially bricked my phone.
I've been reading about using ODIN to flash back to a stock rom, but I'm running into the MBR Checksum Error, and Data whipe failed. From what I read theres really no known fix for this, is that true and my phone is really toast? Or has anyone found a way around it?
I just can't see how you can't just format the internal memory and start over, but i'm no expert.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and for what its worth I'll definitely donate to anyone who helps me get this thing going again.

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

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
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

Are you able to get into DOWNLOAD MODE?
Need help/advice. I updated my phone with the newest Fresh Evo LTE 5.3.1 and the radio firmware. And after rebooting...noticed the Damaged Phone Storage notification. At first I thought it was no big deal cause it was the micro sd card. But then I found out it is the data/second partition on the internal phone storage. I tried to erase the phone storage...but that does not work. I am thinking of trying to restore back to stock and hoping the stock image restores the second partition.
Do you know what might of happened? And any options on trying to fix this problem?
You most likely need to reformat it. Best method so far seems to be booting into twrp and mounting the internal sd to PC and formatting it. Unless there's another cause, I don't know of any issues so it would help to wait for someone who has has to deal with anything similar before taking my advice

Thanks that worked...mounting to my PC in TWRP and formatting. Lost all my pictures and videos...will teach me for not syncing to one of those cloud storage services
Just make it a habit to back up your cards. Its always a good habit to back everything up
this just happened to me after a hard reset...can you show the exact steps i cant seem to figure out how to mount this?
Reboot to TWRP and look for mount, make sure it's set to internal and mount storage, in Windows a dialog should pop up saying that the card needs to be formatted
my phone is samsung a9 . ihave found that my phone storage is reduced from 127 gb to 7.95 gb and my sd card got damaged what can i do for this
Hello everyone! I think i might need to repartition my phone, it works fine the only problem is i only have the 2gb of internal storage, and my sd card. The 12 gb internal "usb storage" is no longer there. Does anyone know how i can restore it? I have basic odin knowledge and have found the original PIT file for my phone, but since i have never gone this far into my phone im kinda nervous. What other files do i need? Or is there another way? Thank you in advance for your help!
Have you tried flashing another rom via recovery first? To check its not a rom/kernel fault.
Your question seemingly feels like a mounting issue other than a partition issue, search about "sdcard not mounted" and you possibly will find a solution, also like the above poster said flashing a different ROM might also possibly solve any mounting issue.

You could try to mount storage through cwm.

Hello, I have downloaded and installed the latest Cm11 and for some reason I am not longer able to use my internal sdcard. I can see and use the external sd but not the internal one. I just have the phone with 2Gb for apps and nothing else, unless I put the external sd.
I saw the partition on via parted is a fat32, but can mount nor format it on CWM recovery nor on my PC. At the end of the day I lost 12Gb of memory on my phone. Is there any way to remove and reformat the UMS partition (12Gb) with parted or any other application without having to put the stock ROM back? I also try Aparted application but is not able to see the partition at all.
BTW I would like to have 8Gb for apps and 8 Gb on my internal sd card, but I really do not know how to do it with Odin without bricking my phone. Any guidance on this? I want to keep using CM11 of course but could not find the md5 files to be used with Odin for CM11.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks. Where can I find the right pit file to go back to a stock? Can I flash another pit file to get a better usage of the phone's memory?
I would like to get 6Gb for the phone itself and the rest for the SDCard. Is that possible ? How can I do it?
Thanks again for your guidance.
You really are intent on trying to turn your phone into a paperweight, aren't you ? Do the smart thing & leave the partitions alone once you've fixed it.

Definitively not. I am trying to find the proper pit files to do it as well as to recover my sdcard space. I trust on this forum, that is why and looking for help here. Frankly, to leave the partitions alone is my first option, however I think that 2Gb for the phone apps is not enough for heavy phone users. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, I have been trying to find something like this thread for days already. I will be reading comments and experiences before going for a different partition, I think is risky, but I would like to try, whether the comments on the thread you have just sent me, are in favor of doing it. I think 2Gb for apps is not enough for heavy users. Thanks again.
