I followed this simple steps
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...msung-vibrant/
and installed cyanogen mod on my samsung vibrant.
The problem i am facing is that its not detecting my internal 14GB memory.
When i go into clockwork recovery mod, there i am able to mount my memory
and its visible in my pc.
How to make it usable in phone?
I tried with different cyanogenmod rom's nothing make the sdcard (internal memory) detect after phone starts.
One thing is its not cracked, because i am able to access it from recovery when i mount the usb storage using clockworkmod, it displays the contents in computer.
I am confused why this is happening.
Also I was thinking if can i use external SD card to save my camera pictures ?
It does not have camera menu options as storage location.
u just format the sdcard once again in fat32.... partition in pc then again mount sdcard in cwm5.0 n format n do ext4 partition.... after that the phone will detect the 14gb sdcard .............as 7+7 gb .......... in 2 partitions .............keep one for file n other for apps ...........................
---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Thanks a lot, it is working now!

If you want app data to be moved to external sd Link2Sd works but with a few extra steps only. Here is how I manage this on mine.
Installed Link2SD on tablet.
Formatted external card (in my case a 32GB microsd in an SD adapter) on my laptop using EASEUS to have to PRIMARY partitions 1st in FAT32 and second in EXT3 formats.
At first Link2SD does not recognise any ext partition present and if I try to recreate mounting script on it telling it EXT3 format it says something like could not do, directory does not exist or similar.
Then after a reboot Link2sd warning pops up saying the sd card was not mounted at boot and therefore the system did not load apps on it. You have an option to recreate a mounting script (which I did not need to do as did it already previously) and the quick reboot option (which is different from the regular reboot in the way that it only restarts the android interface not the whole hardware) - so I do this reboot and after everything starts you can see the extra partition and use it.
So currently quick reboot is needed after every total shutdown of the tablet - thankfully I almost never shut down the tablet completely unless run out of battery completely or some other rare reason or testing like this one.
Also note that quick reboot sometimes gives a close/wait warning just after it is done - I always chose wait and everything seemed ok after that.
Make sure you give Link2sd superuser permission. I decided to leave out Lib out of the app data I link because I noticed that if I move data back to internal storage link2SD shows that libs are unlinked already/ I know there is an option in link2sd to relink libs at boot but I was not able to confirm if it works and they tend to take little space internally anyway.
Regarding extra partition size I tried less than 1GB and ca 14Gb. With bigger than 1GB partition it seems to recognise its size in link2sd but once you move more than 1gb data to it does not reflect the increase above 1gb but still seems to make the apps I moved before and after that work still.
I wonder if multi mount widget could help when combined with link2SD somehow. My guess best solution would be to make android mount external card early in its boot.
Hope it helps

I have not tried EXT2/4 and FAT/32 formats for the second partition - maybe someone could report on that and regarding >1GB data on it. I tried having 3 partitions at the same time FAT32, EXT2 and EXT3 but link2SD did not see any extra partition then.
When experimenting before changing partitions I unlinked apps first in order to not lose the apps and having to reinstall them.

does it work? i mean can we move installed applications to external sd card?
Linksd will link your apps to the SD card, but will occupy some of internal memory space a few kb's ..

oh no. they are not.
i read more forum and info and understood how to do this. you need to use apllication like LINK2SD, it also make games think that they are use usb memory. but in reality they are using SD memory. this program named GSCRIPT.
Sorry for my english.
guys guys, i think we need to work on one thread. We seem to be having two threads that are covering the same problem. two thread one problems aint gonna work.
Would it not be better to gather all information that is relevant to the problem and work together to achieve our aims.
I for one would love this to be sorted but having tried the link2sd and mounting a script within the mnt/sd I believe we need to re group and work this.

I use link2sd in my Htc, because it have only 100mb of internal storage.
With a microsd 16gb and link2sd i'm able to install every app i want, a currently i have 80 installed in my Htc With only 100mb of internal memory

I understand what you are saying but the htc and sony are two different beasts. The htc can use the external sd as storage but at present the sony can only use the sd for transfering data and it will not allow game data to be transfered.
THis is not the solution. Do you actually have a sony? If so you will know this being the case.
i installed Link2sd on Sony Tablet S, and it works very good. all programs now on external SD card. also i installed GScript and now all cache for games located on external SD. Also i made that OEM music player and Gallery open all files from SD card without any problem.
and else when i connect Sony Tablet with computer i can also see and use SD cards memory that inserted in tablet.
Are you saying that game data from lets say gameloft goto external sd card?
I have just re tried to install gta and I can confirm the data still goes to internal storage. What gscript did you use?

What happened with this project guys?
Thank's good work!"
Please don't delete or move this thread.
I am taking the time to write this to help others.
I spent 6+ hours trying to sort through this information when in reality it should have taken only 30 minutes.
I have a Nook TABLET 16gb model.
Step I - Installing CWM. You will be installing CWM onto your EXTERNAL 8gb microsdcard NOT the internal Nook storage.
post #14 from this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21895025#post21895025
But some of it is not so clear.
This is what to do.
Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?dwwhzaixwwh2015
Now follow these steps.
1. Download the packages listed above and extract them to your desktop.
extract ALL the files from the single zip.
2. Open the Win32DiskImager.exe flasher and browse for the .img that
you extracted from the same zip
3. Put your 8gb SD Card into your nook or reader, and select the drive (your external 8gb sdcard) letter from the drop down on the right. Press write, and wait
4.Once it has completed, Turn your Nook off.
5. Turn your Nook on while holding both the N+Power button. Your device will turn on, and then turn off after holding it.
NOTE: Do not let go of either button until your device has powered on and off again.
NOTE: If it is already in there eject it and then put it back in.
Power your Nook on normally and wait 30 seconds.
You will see a picture of N on the screen followed by a box with a white background followed by CWM booting up.
6. Select install from internal
Select the ROM you downloaded in Step 2 below.
Install, do a wipe data factory reset along with wiping all caches
Reboot device and wait a bit....done
NOTE: Remove the SD card after your device reboots as if you don't it will continue to boot from the SD card.
Step II - Installing ROMS
ICS - follow this and get the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534192
JB - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773362
JB will give you Touch Recovery without booting from SDcard
GAPPS - where is the gapps? http://goo.im/gapps here, get the most recent when you install gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
There is a way to install CWM/TWR on the Tablet itself by fastbooting the recovery.img file which is in the ICS link above.
I just wrote this up, it takes 30 minutes to download and install everything.
I am trying ICS for right now.
You can flash a custom recovery to internal using terminal emulator on the device itself as well, just an fyi.
dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where "/recovery.img" is the file path/file name of the recovery image
Not sure if that exact command will work for the 8gb, possibly not as I believe the partitions are a bit different.
---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------
It should also be noted that you don't need an 8gb sd card to create the external recovery card. You could use something as small as a 1gb I believe (probably even smaller, I forget how large that recovery is).
Well, after flashing, I end up with a 72 megabyte BOOT partition with no room for anything on it.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Agreed I'm in the same boat, and i supposed to have two SD cards?
Edit: While our question gets answered i found a work around, just place the actual Rom (zip) on the internal nook memory, then when in recovery navigate to internal sd card and select the zip file. While this may work when installing the Rom and Gaaps (because they are relatively small) you will have next to no room on the nook.

Sorry if I'm hijacking your post, but something that i found works really well: Install CWM through the OP's way, then Install any Rom, once booted into the rom download GooManager from the play store, go into Goomanager's settings then press Install TWRP script, this will install a recovery (similar to CWM, but with touch screen) to your internal memory on the nook. From this point you can reformat the SD card and use it as normal.
I dnt know what Ive done last night
But all the files in my internal storage are disappeared.
I mean the image file.
So any way to find the file out?
My device is a Sony Xperia SP , which is rooted but with locked BL.
please provide possible solution as much as u can/__\
I really need ur help as there are too many important and valuable photos there.
Please help!!
PS.Never ask me to use MSC mode instead of MTP, as my photos are save in internal memory
Undelete and Remote for Android are tried but useless
use disk digger from paly store
---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------
disk digger will recover if ur photos are deleted

Hi, All
I got my XPU C6833 Rooted, Unlocked bootloader, and backup the stock rom with CWM recovery.
I flashed CM11 to the phone :fingers-crossed:. Now, I want to copy the Backup-stock-Image to my computer, but I couldn't find it anywere.
I see a Clockkworkmod folder in Internal SD Card but it only contains 2 tiny files (.last_install_path, .recovery_version).
Yes:
I could connect and transfere file between my phone and computers
I have USB driver install as well as Fastboot Driver.
The CWM Recovery show there is a back up to restore.
Thank you all for any inputs
Its not in /storage/emulated/0/clockworkmod/xxxxxxxx/ as it usually was on other devices but rather right below the root directory / if I'm right. I can't really check now because I haven't got a nandroid.. I stopped backing up my device long ago. I have no purpose of doing that.
The / directory is not a place you can reach with MTP as it only displays /storage/emulated/0 or the current user signed in on the device. Like user #2 being /storage/emulated/1 and so on.
You could use ADB to pull the directory to your pc or you can use a file manager app to copy the CWM backup directory to your home directory: /storage/emulated/0 and then transfer it to your pc.
Edit:
I noticed something. I rebooted to cwm and looked at the alternatives.
If you choose "backup to /sdcard" it will backup to the / directory because this is the root directory of the storage partition on the internal sd
If you choose "backup to /storage/sdcard1" it will backup to the external sdcard which is mounted at /storage/sdcard1/.
You see the difference? = When choosing backup to internal sd the alternative does not say that it will first cd in to the /storage directory and choose internal storage which is 0.
So with that said.... uhm... it will likely create the backup directory at /. Why? I dunno. I haven't googled it.. Perhaps its because of the MTP and multi user interface android introduced?
I still couldn't pull the back up image out.
I tried ES Explorer with ROOT, CM File Manager, Astro Filemanager, and (adb pull /sdcard/ c
I only got 2 tiny file, and that about it..
to make things very easy ... do you happen to have a spare micro sd card laying around if you not already have one in your device atm?
If you choose to write the nandroid to sdcard1 it should be in the root directory on the sdcard. Then its very easy to just eject the card and hook it up to a pc and transfer it to a safe location.
Could the folder be hidden in windows. Try to check in folder options. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

I still have yet to fix my issue with storage. For some reason I have no Phone storage left, but almost all of my SD card storage is still empty. I thought that pictures and stuff were supposed to be stored on SD card.. or am I wrong??
Well that is not my major issue at the moment. I am actually having a problem with "write-protection"
I plugged my phone into my PC so that I can move my pictures and videos and stuff over to my SD card...
So i put my device USB Connection as a "camera (PTP)"
I found my photos, moved them to the SD card... and I wanted to delete them from the Phone Storage and when I try to delete a folder or file or anything from Phone Storage, it says "can not delete, the storage is write-protected"...
I have heard of it doing this when trying to delete from SD card... but why is m y phone saying that when I am trying to delete form the Phone Storage??
Can someone please help me out with this? I would appreciate it.. Thanks Guys!!
Which phone do you have? Is it the external sdcard u r talking about?

I hope this answers your question...
Many of the phones doesn't default to storing information to the MicroSD because it provides internal memory and not everyone uses a MicroSD.
There are 1 and/or 2 ways to tell the phone/app to store the information to the MicroSD.
1) Not all but, many apps have an option where you can specify where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
.
2) Many but, not all phones have an option in their settings with an option to use an alternate location where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
Also, there is an app called "Link2SD" that i do use to handle where i can specify where to locate some/all the apps i install (External Storage.MicroSD, ext2 partition, etc...).
Link2SD does take a bit of getting used to on how to use it but, the developer (Bulent Akpinar) has a website that provides helpers.
Just keep in mind that most of the phone's capabilities are not automatic and requires you to do the work. :fingers-crossed:

The major issue was not getting things to store onto my SD card... my issue is the fact that I hooked up my phone to my PC using USB connection... and I am moving stuff from my phone memory to my external SD card... then I wanna delete the stuff from my phone memory, that I moved to my SD card... but it wont let me delete anything... it is saying that the disk is write-protected... (the disk being my phone memory not the SD card)
It wont let me delete anything from myt Phone memory...
so i need to know why it is saying that my phone is write protected and how to change it so i can delete from my phone storage

I had a similar issue and the culprit was the file permissions on the PC.
Maybe on your PC, try right clicking the file/folder of what you want to delete (within the Phone via the PC) and in the property selection, edit the ownership to your PC profile or PC Admin (if you have admin rights).
Just a thought...:fingers-crossed:
