I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else here before. I have been searching for days and have not found the full answers to my questions anywhere.
Recently I updated my GT-P7510 CM9 to an experimental CM10 from by pershoot. After getting it up and running I was looking at my internal storage usage and numbers didn't seem to add up (must have done a dirty flash at some point in the past to cause this). My internal storage in root explorer showed 8.93gb in use and 28.01 total storage. I copied everything to a USB drive to back it up and noticed there was only 7.45gb actually on the internal storage. I have seen this problem before on my S2, and I always just reformat the internal SD card (emmc) to regain the missing space. However, since the tab does not have a micro SD slot, I have no way of wiping the internal sdcard (data/media) without wiping out the rom too from how I understand it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong...
So, does anybody know of a way to successfully wipe/format the sdcard (data/media directory) in CWM or other method that will not wipe out the rom and send the device straight to cwm with no way to install a new rom? Or do I have to revert back to stock to accomplish the format of sdcard like I have read for a few other similar situations? Everything works fine (CM10 & CM9 both run awesome), I just want that extra 1.48gb of missing/phantom storage back. And, without mass storage mode, I cannot perform a disk check in win7. This has really got me frustrated to find a solution without having to start over. I wish this tab had a micro SD slot!
Currently I am running CM9 nightlies (7-31) for p4wifi (gt-p7510). My cwm recovery is version 6.0.1.0. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I do apologize if this has been covered before. Thanks in advance to those of you smarter than I.

Ok, I seemed to have figured this one out and now feel pretty stupid for not digging a bit further before asking.
After I decided to go ahead with the sdcard format using CWM, I noticed that the space was still being used somewhere. After I started to dig a bit, I noticed that all of my apps still worked after the format. Basically, the extra space is being consumed by the /data/app folder housing all user apps. CWM must be designed to ignore this directory when formatting the internal sdcard which is why there was still some storage being used.
I feel like an ubernoob for asking this, but my S2's internal sdcard is not mapped to data/media, so I had to learn a bit better about how this thing works I suppose. Anyways, I hope this information can be useful to someone out there having similar questions.

Although that is a similar problem, I asked if there is a way to fix it without going that route? I appreciate your reply, but I already knew it could be resolved by going back to stock (2nd paragraph of my post).

Ow sorry didnt notice few words,i think u could just flash a cwm via odin wich can wipe/reset all data if im not mistaking,
I'll chek this out is there any cwm'ds who can do that,coz i rememba reading one forum where guy was complaining that he did wipe and everything was formated!

I can accomplish a full format of the internal sdcard on my galaxy s2 without it affecting the rom in any way whatsoever and it is running cwm 6.0.1.0 also. From how I understand it, the partitions are set up differently on the s2 and this device. The s2 has a separate partition for the internal sdcard making it possible to format via cwm. On this device, the sdcard is part of the data partition meaning wiping it will leave you with no rom installed and no storage on the sdcard. I think all versions of cwm can wipe the slate clean, it is just a matter of everything else being wiped clean also. But, if you are aware of a cwm that let's me accomplish this, I would love to find it. Thanks again.

I have the same issue .. I was manually formatted using my windows 7 laptop.. flash back to old stock samsung firmware.. still 4.11 GB internal USb storage instead of 11.8 GB.. Any help please..
I think it's possible with adb shell (the android sdk for Windows)
Have you seen that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003645
Sent with my GT-P7500 CM10
Note: This post has been updated with the solution. Please see end of post for original.
Warning: This following instructions are provided “AS IS” with no warranties. Please continue at your own risk.
Following the return of the datadata partition in Jellybean for the Vibrant (and Galaxy S variants), there have been a number of cases where users are faced with a low internal storage notification after a fresh install even with a full wipe. Due to a corrupted partition table, the /data partition formats to ~80mb instead of 1gb. This guide provides a fix to this issue. Following these steps will remove every partition from your internal SD, so Odin can make fresh ones from scratch.Doing so will completely wipe all data on internal sd (music, pictures, etc.), please make backups accordingly. Remove external sd before starting.
REQUIREMENTS
Working Galaxy S drivers on computer
Odin3 v1.85 that recognizes your phone
Stock JDF .tar image and stock .pit file: Please see Woodrube's sticky @ dev section.
Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar image: Please see Woodrube's sticky @ dev section.
Android SDK (only adb is required)
Access to CWM on current ROM
Make sure all drivers, adb, and Odin is set up prior to proceeding!
PROCEDURE:
Perform all necessary nandroid backups, internal sd backups, etc.
Connect phone to computer via USB, then reboot phone to recovery (cwm).
On your computer open up an elevated command prompt, and browse to the adb directory.
In command prompt type each of the following lines and press enter:
Code:
adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
This will remove all the partitions on your internal SD. To make sure, type "print" again, and check if there are any more partitions left. If there are, type "rm X", where 'X' is the number of the partition that is left.
Close command prompt and open up Odin.
On your phone enter download mode, and let Odin recognize the device.
On Odin, add the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar file in the PDA slot, and hit start.
After the flash has succeed, the phone will reboot into recovery and warn you about internal storage not being ready. This is expected.
Pull the battery, and enter download mode again. Reconnect phone to your PC via USB if you have disconnected it.
On your computer, close and re-open Odin, and this time add the stock JDF .tar in the PDA slot, and the stock .pit file in the PIT slot. Make sure re-partition is checked, and hit start.
After the flash your phone will be running stock JFD will newly created internal SD partitions.
From here it is the usual matter of flashing cwm, then flashing whichever ROM you choose!

Howdy folks,
So I updated from CM10 Nightly 9/16 to 10/3 on my T-959. When I check Settings>>Storage, Internal Storage shows total space as only 82.66MB. Available in said storage is a mere 19.85MB. It's a fresh install with the default kernel; I haven't even updated any of the apps yet. Is this to be expected?
I understand there has been some sort of partition remapping in the last few nightlies. But scouring through the official CM10 thread in the dev section, people are saying they have around 400MBs in theirs.
I flashed a couple of times with CM10 10/3 as well as SlimBean 2.6 (both have the same partitioning, I believe). Nothing really changes the total internal storage. When the updated start rolling in from the Play Store, for example for the YouTube app, I'm faced with the insufficient storage error.
Any help is appreciated. I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. If this is a n00b issue, please educate this poor soul.

Sure did. I flashed it again, rebooting to recovery. I reverted to CM10 9/24. Total space under internal storage in Setting>>Storage shows 422MB. Is that the right amount for the older partitions? What am I doing wrong?

CM10 roms now use that partition scheme, with ~400MB system partition.

But see that's the problem. With the latest nightlies I am not seeing it. On CM10 10/3 I am getting a measly ~80MB of total internal storage, according to Storage in Settings. I'm seeing the ~400MB in nightlies before 9/26. Thanks for the reply.

Same problem, i think
I've been having the same issue. Suddenly one day my phone couldn't mount the internal storage or the /mnt/emmc in cwm. Been trying everything, but nothing seems to work. My PC can only see the extSDcard too. Help! All my apps and photos were on the internal!

You are fine, in the right section etc. I was just saying your issue with internal SD not mounting is different than the op having a "low storage error".
Anyway you are continuing to update with cm10 so your internal SD is okay. When I first read your post I thought you couldn't access the internal SD at all like with the EU bug.

Obviously your internal SD isn't corrupt or you wouldn't be able to flash cm10 nightly. In recovery /emmc is the external SD card I believe. So try to mount the /sdcard and see what happens.
The encryption unsuccessful (EU) bug is an issue galaxy s variant devices have experienced on ICS that completely locks/makes the internal SD card unusable. They have a work around to allow the device to use ext SD as the internal SD.

Looking at your thread again I noticed an issue. You posted 1.97gb internal storage. It should be .98gb based on the latest cm10 partition scheme. Do a full wipe and flash a different JB ROM and see what happens or reflash cm10. Again wipe data factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system then flash.
*don't try and format SD card or emmc in recovery, you will lose everything*

I tried to boot in recovery, went to "mount" options and pressed the "mount sdcard" but it didn't change anything when i rebooted. My galley and camera app still says "no external storage available". And the "storage" setting still can't "mount SD card".
So full darvik cache and cache wipe and then which ROM?
I'm not sure if I asked but do you have a front facing camera?
I think you might have to Odin to stock and start over. Also my camera app stores to internal SD not ext SD. ????

Yeah, I have the i9100, Galaxy SII model with front facing camera.
Hmm.. I was worried about having to full wipe or factory reset etc... guess I'll have to try.
And yeah, I've noticed that most ROMs can't use the extSD for saving pictures and downloads etc. You have to move to the extSD manually.
You have a gs2......then why are you in the vibrant threads?
You should do a factory data reset from recovery when flashing a new ROM....well at least with the vibrant. I'm not real familiar with the GS2.
Sorry....pm your rom dev or ask in your dev section.

Back on the OP, i face the same issue on a Captivate trying to run Slimbean 2.8 and 2.9 (haven't tried earlier versions).
Same 82.66mb internal, however "usb storage" accounts for the remaining space on the internal SD. I can install a few apps using Link2SD, but the internal still fills up with (what I assume to be) fragments of each app used for loading/cache (could be entirely wrong, fwiw)

I have the same problem when flashing Helly Bean (latest version). My partinions are somehow messed up and I aswell only have 82,66mb space for apps :S Tried reflashing, wiping system, flashing stock cm10. Every rom with the new partition layout seems to suffer from this.
Thanks in advance for help
Next time you flash, go to mounts and storage and format /system,
/data and /datadata.
I'm assuming you have a vibrant.
You should have almost 3gb of space between these partitions and the ROM itself with gapps shouldn't be much larger than 250mb if that.

I tried reflashing Helly Bean after formating /system /data and /datadata , the result was nonetheless the same as before :/ Also I own a SGS I9000, Looking at others on same rom I should have about 400 mb of storage for apps. Any idea what could have gone wrong?
Also I'm running Fishears version of CM10 now, it uses the old partition layout and that gives me ~400 mb storage, which actually according to a screenshot on the thread should be about 1,8gb.
Seems like all roms allocate most of my inbuild memory on usb-storage for some reason...
Thx for the help
Download storage analyser from the market and see what's in the partitions.

Hi there,
I have the following issue and hope to find somebody with a solution here in the XDA-world...would be great.
Of course I did some searching before I post here, but the results are not sufficient for me...
I am using a 64 GB external SD card in my Samsung Galaxy S III since a few days. Before I put data to the card, I performed a format via the phone itself. The access works great - I can use all my files when I use the phone in normal operation. (with Ultima Rom).
Today I downloaded the latest ROM release and wanted to flash it via CWM 6.0.2.7 and I encountered a problem - I cannot access the external SD card in CWM recovery. It simply say´s "Can´t mount external SD".
Why is it? Any solution proposals? I used to have a 2GB card and the installations worked fine with CWM here....
Is it a wrong formatting probably? Or the size?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
You should do some search before post, but since you are here, I give you some briefly information, but you have to search more details yourself.
1. 64 GB sdcard is formated in exFAT file system which CWM recovery doesn't support it, that's why you have problem with 64 , but OK with 2GB sdcard. (Some latest recovery has now support exFAT I think )
2. Solution, format your sdcard into FAT32 file system, or change to 32 GB sdcard because unless you have countless files or blue ray movies otherwise you won't need 64GB at all, that's what I did, I had 64 and change to 32 to avoid any kinda potential problem

1. Use PhilZ Touch recovery (based on 6.0.2.8 - I think 6.0.2.7 was also very buggy - and with a new Samsung kernel supporting exFAT).
2. Format as FAT32.
I am currently using the 1st approach, but keep in mind that many ROMs (mostly based on CM10 stuff) still have a huge bug where the exFAT partition is not recognized but instead some stuff is written to the first sector - when that takes place just put the exFAT card in a SD-reader in Win7/8, reject any suggestion to format it and then from the command line run CHKDSK /F Letter:
Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot to both of you!!! It worked out! :highfive:
I also managed to search for "how to format an SDCard to FAT32", no problem.
To be honest I also had a look for a possible solution like you suggested prior to my post --> I just was not confident that these suggestions will solve the issue since I read many times "tried - but no success"...
I just wanted to be sure, coming back from work, not to spend hours to solve it, if you already have "the one working" solution available. Once again many thanks - I really appreciate this community, even if its my 2nd active post...
I installed various Android 4.3 ROMs (Carbon, SliemBean, PA, CM), and in all of them the internal and external storage did not work, but I saw that other people it does not happen anymore.
Is there a solution for this?
Is this a common problem for the 4.3 ROMs? Common among xt910 and xt912? Affecting both internal and external storage? Always? At random? Or any rhyme or reason?

"insufficient storage" after ROM flash
I just flashed android 4.3 ROM on my phone (phone is Infuse 4g, ROM is CM10.2 - 8/30/2013 - Butter)
after I have restored most of my apps w/ data using Titanium Backup, I don't have any storage left (according to notifications and phone storage information - couldn't update apps, and several apps couldn't be restored (restore process stopped at 94%)
when I go to settings > storage, there's message "Storage space is running out", Total space shown for internal storage is 1.28GB, Available is 9.44MB,
however, when I connect to computer it shows that I still have more then 9GB available on the internal storage.
when I was flashing ROM, I had to go back to ICS ROM, (I've lost root access ), then 4.2 Rom, then 4.3. it warned me that it will re-partition my storage, and I may lose any data - I agreed, as I had everything backed up. now I don't really have a storage
I assume it has something to do with partitioning, but I have no Idea how to fix it, or what is the best way go around it. please help.

I've been using PACman V06 for a week or so now, no problems whatsoever. ext SD and USB mounting have been flawless.
As for the internal storage issue, when using Stock rom slot, or using a completely unaltered phone, the stock rom recognizes the entire internal storage, as the only partitioning are the internal storage, and the stock system partition. When you create a new slot, that rom only recognizes the partition it was created on as valid storage. This is to prevent changes to other rom slots inadvertently, I believe.
I have this issue only with some apps, titanium backup, root explorer are able to identify my intetnal. Last night I connect my phone to pc and the pc sometimes see my internal and sometimes the pc doesnt recognizes my internal...I use Slimbean for a week now. Its been doing great exept this internal thing. External storage is well recognized

I have wiped cache/dalvic cache as it was suggested before... twice... didn't help at all
also, in the CWM Recovery I saw that sdcard0, sdcard1, datadata, system and data are "unmounted"... I have mounted them all, but it didn't make any difference either (I'm not sure if it would even make any difference, or these mount/unmount setting is only for CWM Recovery, because on the next boot into CWM everything but cache is unmounted again
any other idea on what can be done to fix it?
here's another update.
I've flashed different 4.3 ROM ([ROM][JellyBean][4.3][Official]BeanStalk Build 4.3.1015 - Updated 10/27/2013 - 4.3) - same issue. next day I went back to stock, and formatted everything I could (all but "android secure") - it didn't help either. Now I have Ginger Bread, with same partitioning problem - about 1.2 GB for system and apps, and about 13 GB for everything else (I removed microSD card for now.)
I used to have all apps in one spot, and they would take a lot more space then 1.2 GB... now I cannot restore all of them from backup (Titanium Backup Pro), as there is not enough space.
I don't remember having such partitioning before I flashed it with 4.3 ROM
any suggestion? have I missed anything?

here's another update.
I've flashed different 4.3 ROM ([ROM][JellyBean][4.3][Official]BeanStalk Build 4.3.1015 - Updated 10/27/2013 - 4.3) - same issue. next day I went back to stock, and formatted everything I could (all but "android secure") - it didn't help either.

there seems to be no update on that problem
here's good reply on this problem from another forum:
The Jack of Clubs said:
the infuse is older than the galaxy nexus so theres no datamedia or mtp. the 16gb storage is typically called the internal sdcard (nonremovable) because it acts more like an sdcard and doesnt share partition and storage with the data partition. the data partition is called internal storage, which on the infuse is about 2gb, though a little less on cm10.2 because the system partition was made bigger for newer versions of android. if your having low storage issues on the data partition, youre going to probably have to move some of your apps to the internal 16gb sdcard by going into settings > apps > on sd card and moving some of them over. i would not recommend moving over apps that sync or run in the background, but if you have a lot of games, those typically move fine. i would do that until you have atleast 400mb of the internal storage free. ive talked to araemo in irc how hard it would be to setup datamedia on the infuse to combine the internal sdcard and data partition. long story short, rather difficult and it would be too big a hit on performance.

to support this, here's my story: I have already went back to Froyo, and saw that internal storage is 1.8 GB, now I'm back to 4.3 ROM, and it's 1.26 again
looks like I always had it all partitioned, but I haven't noticed it until system partition got changed and internal storage became smaller.
it might not be true for all other phones, as they can be partitioned differently, but it's true for samsung infuse, and probably for a number of other samsung phones.
I have tried CM10.2 , PA RC-2 , slimbean , and even carbon 4.3 but none of these roms detect my internal storage

the problem also appears on CM11 (Android 4.4)
i need to wipe the /cache partition bevore every boot
then it mounts the storages, but if i don't wipe it it won't mount the internal storage
so the problem has to be on the /cache partition?
Hi,
I though this issue was happening only with the 4.3 based ROMs but that still happens even with CM 10.2 ROM.
That failure is not happening all the time, sometimes you just need to wait after the boot and there is the ext-sd again.
yes i think it happens very sporadically
I've got the sdcard unmounted issue with all android4.3 roms that i've tried. Device is XT910 and recovery was BMM 0.3.4. I will use the phone with safestrap 3.65 for a while to check if it's a rom or recovery thing.

I've tried SS, but nothing changed.,
Hi,
i have no Problems with stock Rom, but in all 4.3 ROMs especially in PA 3.99 RC2, the Android system doesn't mount the sdcard0.
Does anyone know why?
PS: I am using the JBX Kernel

try to clear cache from your recovery or else reset to factory defaults, this trick worked for my wi-fi issues
hi,
i already tried that
this also happens on every other 4.3 ROM to me with and without jbx kernel
Got The same problem. Gallery and camera wont let me in
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
I think this is an issue on all 4.3 ROMs, I have the same problem on Carbon 4.3.
thanks for the replies, then all 4.3 ROMs are just unusable
strange that noone complained about that in the DEV forums

This is not true.. Every 4.3 rom i have flashed has had storage1/storage0. My micro sd card is where i keep my mp3 music i listen to via player pro. Sd is where my custom ringtones i created are stored along with pics, etc. Works great. Listen, sometimes going back to the beginning and starting over with stock firmware flash is needed as these memory slots can get corrupted. I use titanium back up for any/all apps/data with out these issues. Or simply go back to stock and copy what u dont want to lose to your micro sd (root explorer) is great or simply plug phone into computer and create a new folder on desk top for your keeps. After copy, format sd storage (pull micro sd card first) or simply copy nothing to micro sd only to computer and format both sd/micro sd. (Recomend) Would for sure do factory reset, if using ss uninstall and start fresh. This is not a guaranteed solution, only a suggestion.. Seems to have worked just fine for me more than once.. And others with similar issue.

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!!
I have the same problem - only 1.28 GB of internal storage is seen by phone, even though it shows 13+ GB when connected to the PC.
is there anything that may help, (other then formatting everything) ?
I have already wiped cache/dalvic cache and mounted sdcard0 and sdcard1 in the CWM Recovery - didn't make any difference.
