How to get internal sd card working on CM9 and MIUI - Motorola Photon 4G

Hey guy i just installed MIUI with ICS and before tried real hard with CM9 and mokee and with all of then i couldnt make my internal SD card work
I can still see all data when i mount emmc using file explorrer but my camera and any other app for that matter is not able to detect internal memory card...
is there a way to fix this???
i dont have any external sd card at this point otherwise would have worked with it......

CM9- Go to menu and under device click advanced and check use internal storage and reboot your phone

SD CARD and PHONE STORAGE

today i noticed on my sd card and phoen storage settings thing
that my sd card hasn't used a single MB but my Phone Storage with 12.77 GB currently has 1.25GB left?
How is that possible? i'm sure i dont have 10GB worth of things in here, to make sure i went on my computer, connected USB and saw that none of my files were bigger than 300MB
Why is this and how can i fix it?
Also if i press Format SD Card, what will happen?
please help me out here guys!
NVM i formatted it and all my crap on the thing is gone, now it feels like starting over, AHH good.
That's maaad weird.
But if you plugged into USB storage mode and if you see that's showing the right storage size properties, then that must be bug of the rom you're using.
Edit: You should have made a backup, before. Althought maybe it wouldn't have worked

Probably because the rom. I imagine it's reading the external_sd folder space and lumping it with the internal since that folder is in the sdcard tree: sdcard/external_sd where it used to be the external was "sd"... Just a guess.
No I formatted on purpose I saved music files before doing it.
Somehow it feels way snappier!

DO NOT FORMAT IT, after i did, i experienced SO MANY ISSUES because on my internal i had a bunch of things that apps depended on.
If you don't mind ODIN and going to JFD then do it.
Do this if your going to ODIN, its worth it.
Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Format (forgot which one) then you'll get all the space back then ODIN back to STOCK then it'll put all the files you need back on there, and you'll be good.
DONT just delete it and think your all good,
in your internal theres the update.zip which made me pull my pubic hair out (literally)
IF you dont want to do it, which i don't recommend, just go to settings > sd CARD AND PHOEN STORAGE > and click format on SD CARD or PHONE STORAGE and click confirm, and it'll be done.

"SD card blank or not present" but SD-apps run fine

Hello all,
I used a windows-xp to flash nAa-kernel05 and upgrade to miniCM7 2.1.3.
Once done, the phone booted properly. My SD apps work .. but the SD card does not seem to be accessible. In gallery it says: SD card blank or not present. Music player says no SD. Storage settings show no SD ..
It seems that the Fat partition is messed. How can I fix?
I'm not sure if it is related to the miniCM7 update.
Any clue?
i had similar problem ..
try to format your sd card with this software:
Code:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
I do not want to format, my data is accessible via card reader.
The sd card was running few hours ago.
I did the following (with no luck)
1- Using windows, fixed errors in fat32 partition
2- Missing "/system/xbin/parted" copied with pernissions
3- Reboot many times, wipe cache partition and dalvik
4- Edit the default capabilities xml file at the SD root, edited <boot> to have a low-case R after unlocking kernel.
Still cannot find the solution for my problem

Exactly, and also try to partition the sd card with minitool partition wizard, and then install apps in your sd, they might work better with an ext 2 partition, thats what i did, cuz my cards 8 gig, and fat is not an option.
I just tried to upgrade to 16 gb card and my phone did not like it. Random shut downs, apps did not run etc. Do I need to format the card in a special way before I can use it? I did a full clean install before trying a new card.
It may just be a dodgy card though... It works fine with my old 8 gb card.

[Q] SD Card Flip

Hey, I have eclipse installed and in doing so it automatically switched my sd card location. Internal is now external, and external is now internal. under settings I have selected install apps to internal sd card, which now means they are installing to my external card correct? Also when I got into settings to manage applications it shows hardly anything installed to the external card but that's because its.flipped right? Im just a little confused cuz if I ever want to sbf again I want to make sure they are installed to the real external card so I don't lose anything. So theoretically I should not use the option under settings to "move app to external card" because I would be moving it to the internal? Is there any other way to see if they are installed on my real external card? For example plugging in to a computer via usb and being able to see what's there?
Thanks in advance for any help.
one way to check is power off, remove sd card, reboot
if app still works its not on sd card

+1 cant you also just search for it on your sd card?
Lol guess I could... really just looking for confirmation that im doing it right... having internal selected as my storage location meaning everything is going to external.

[Q] sdcard/0 wont mount in cm10

I am trying to mount sdcard/0, which is my internal sd card. I am using a CM10 rom and realized that /sdcard is now /storage/sdcard0 in jelly bean. I am the only one on the CM10 fourm who can't mount his/hers. When I go to settings-storage-usb storage, I click "mount sd card" and the phone freezes, then it says calculating and it disappears. My actual external-sd card is mounted perfectly and even the computer reads it, but not the internal. I have trying re-installing the rom, and now I cant access my backup either, CWM tells me something about bad MD5 sum? How do I mount the internal sd card/sdcard0? I cant use camera, dropbox, gallery, take screenshots, etc. I hope someone answers since I've tried asking on the CM10 fourm and no one answered, and all the other similar situations are for other devices, mostly Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus.
The same thing happened to me but it was on the external sd. I formatted it with another phone. Did you try reflashing the rom?

First, thanks for replying! First time that happened to me. Anyway, yes I did try doing that, and it didn't work, apollo (stock music app) only reads my external sd music sometimes, but most of the time I will have to unmount and remount the sd card, and the device isnt confused on which is internal and external, because in storage-settings the usb storage is the one not mounted and the one under external sd is the actual external sd.
Try formating internal card after you install rom

I feel so nubish! I tried doing that right before I installed, but not after. This was all I needed to do, and no one else (on the other threads) will tell me. Thanks DZ!
I'm having very similar issues on an HTC EVO 4G LTE using CM10. The internal SD card shows up as "Internal Storage" under Settings > Storage, yet after tapping on "Mount SD card," it tries to prepare/calculate it, yet it goes back to the way it was. Using an external microSD card works just fine. I can't format the internal storage via CWM either, as it'll just say:
Code:
Formatting /internal_sdcard...
Error mounting /internal_sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
Been working on getting CM10 to work properly for a good 5 hours. Calling it a night!

Phone memory is sd card

Hey all i have a problem, i cant instal rom cuz in CWM my sd card is phone memory WTF! In file manager my phone memory is SD card.
Really need help bro's.
Its supposed to be like that. Its like the internal SD card of the phone. For me, it never wipes the internal SD card when I installed a custom ROM. But I always made a backup. If you want to put ROM on external SD card, you can do so. And when you search for the ROM, the folder should be labeled as external SD

Screenshot?
Id est quod est
CM made this swap mid ICS is I remember. Was this to mitigate the encryption bug wiping out the internal?
