Hi Peeps!!!
Seriously need help. after reading all sort of guide in here. i still really cant find any similar case like mine. or maybe i am still noob in rooting.
first time rooting my S2 and right now
my baseband version: I9100DXKL1
Kernal Version: 3.0.15-CM-ga77f0f1
Build number:IMM76I
Mod version is resurrection remix ICS v1.8.1
ICS 4.0.4
Previously was android 2.3.6 gingerbread version.
Problem is when now my phone cant detect my micro sd card.
Believe that i put the resurrection remix file into my mirco sd card.
then i zip from mirco sd card.
did some rectification by formating my SD card. - no use
re flash a new rom - no use
use odin to flash - more worse. cant boot up.
then install ressurrection rom back.
Can anyone help me step by step what are the things i need to do?
really super confused right now. because of this i lose all my pictures and information on my internal memory from my phone. so sad...
Any kind soul please help! struggling for 2 nights already. cant seem to solve the problem.
Thank you in advance for those who render help!!!
You're probably looking in the wrong place. You should be looking in /mnt/emmc/
Yes it's a known issue on AOKP ROMs. The External SD Card is not shown in External_SD it is now in /mnt/emmc. You can link External_sd to emmc again with a apk but then the mass storage is not going to work. I also tried resurection rom and had this issue. Is't your option live with this or get on another ROM!
flash a diff rom if ya face prblm,every rom has its own advatage an disadvantage.....so read the roms page on wat it offers u....an select....
Registered to post this. I had the same issue. Here's a solution that works for me and may work for others:
in terminal editor:
Code:
$ su
# mount /mnt/emmc /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
This is a quick hack that must be done any time you want to access your external sdcard through external_sd. It gets reset on a reboot. A better option might be to put it in fstab (if it exists, I can't seem to find one) or in an init.d script to run at boot. This mounts emmc as a loopback on external_sd and doesn't seem to break mass storage or anything else, at least I haven't found anything yet, though I stand to be corrected. As I said, it's a bit of a hack...
EDIT: I'm on Resurrection Remix 1.9.1, but it should work with any Resurrection as long as busybox is installed.

I Just went from the Resurrection Remix v1.7 to the HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.05 and now i can't see my internal SD card. When i go into apps like gallery and what not it says no external storage available. It was working all fine before this. So i tried to re download the Resurrection Remix v1.7 and install it but it says i need an sd card to download. However i can reflash the HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.05 rom in CWM from my internal SD card, so it kinda knows it's there.
It seems i have a bit of a predicament. Any ideas?
Try flash the mounting fix ~~ it solve my internal storage after flashing it~~

hallo,
get... es file explorer from the market
with this program you even can transfer files from ext sd to int. sd and reverse
this will do the trick
i used it on my current rom AOKP dragon ics v2.3 and also on de resurrection 1.7 rom i used earlier on
try it

Thanks man that worked a treat. Took me a while to actually get the mounting fix on there but eventually managed it by connecting to pc in CWM.

Look here, 1 post.
have you tried connecting it to the computer to see the sd?
SD card problems
I hope it will help.
1. If the card is invisible in phone, control it via card reader.
2. formatting/partitions making usually fix the problems in the phone
3.In phone control if the card is mounted in the system ( menu-system-settings-SD&phone storage) if yes and still invisible - remount/mount.
4. For fixing some issues and partitions ( stabilizing SD too+ no data loosing with this tool) you can use Partition Mini Tool - also suitable for SD preparation for moving Dalkik to SD via a2sdgui ( not supported anymore) and above - system 2/3/4.
Basically : If card is invisible in reader, theres problem with card.
If is visible in phone only - problem is in mounting/flashing/formatting in phone.
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).

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.

Hi guys, I'm using CM9 the final build (stable) and I never had any problems with this rom...
But now, I have a real bizarre problem here... I do not know where it came from, but I assume it's because I plugged my device to the computer as Mass Storage device for the first time ever, (I usually use MTP)...
The problem: suddenly I noticed that when I get into my file explorer (no matter which one) within the Internal SD Card I see the contents of the removable memory card (external SD Card)...
On the other hand when I jumped to the External SD Card (removable card) I found that it's had the content of the Internal SD Card ... Bizarre ehh? But Everything works as usual, except my ringtones and stuff like that, I guess because the Paths are changed... Anyway when I connect the device as MTP to the computer and get inside the Internal Storage (with my Windows Explorer) everything is fine! same for the External storage, everything is fine there too!
I guess that somehow the paths to my partitions Mixed up (only for the device itself)...
when I removed the Micro SD card and boot the device, I can see in my file explorer that the path " /mnt/sdcard" is empty!
but when I go to "/mnt/emmc" I can see that all my data is there, the "android" folder and "data" folder and etc.. are there too..
I don't know what to do to get back to normal...
As you can see in my screenshot, the Device thinks that internal memory has 30 GB and the external memory has 11... but the 30GB is my MicroSD card and not my device internal storage...
Can anyone help me plz?

If you know any previous CM9 version or CM9 based Rom you used where the mount point was ok or the way you want, then proceed to next step.
- open the zip of that Rom you downloaded, navigate to /system/etc
- we'll need this file: vold.fstab
- so extract vold.fstab to a location on your phone
-using ROOT browser/explorer, replace vold.fstab in /system/etc folder on your phone with the one you extracted
-change permissions of the new file to rw-r-r (644)
-reboot your phone
Everything should be working well now
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
wow, man thank you very much!
you gave me an idea, I wanted to check if this problem caused by me or if it's came with the Rom...
so I downloaded the latest Nightly to my PC and opened up the .fstab file and I can see that it goes like that:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 nonremovable,encryptable
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
so I assume thata I'm not the only one with this "problem" as I can understand, CM team changed that in purpose ?
so maybe other CM9 users also got this?
maybe this is not a peoblem as I was thinking?
anyway I think I'm gonna change it back to Sdcard... I loved it as it was...

OK, I something really weird is going on here...
I installed the latest CM9 rom on my friend's S2 and i can see that the .fstab file on his device is exactly the same as my .fstab file!
same device, same rom , same .fstab file and on my device the internal SD card is the Micro SD and on his device the Internal SD Card is the REAL internal storage?!?
something really weird is going on here... What can I do?
Do I have to Format my device and install some other ROM? because flashing the last CM9 Nightly didn't helped me :\
plz help

Ok.
That's weird, really.
Try this:
Goto Settings, storage and press options, select swap mount points.....
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I don't have this option...
I have "USB computer connection" and "Storage Configuration"... (CM9 standard).
anyway, I edited that .Fstab file and it seems that everything is ok now... weird cuz as I already said previously, on my friend's device everything is ok without editing that Fstab file...
Dono what is the problem, but I'm glad that everything got back to normal for me.
I tested it in CWM and the mounting is correct, so the External SD is the Micro SD card (my ROMs location ).
thanks again...
Maybe I'll check that Paranoid android you've got in your signature
EDIT:
OK I double checked and no, not everything is ok!
now when I connect my device to my PC as MTP and open it, I see that on my computer the Internal Storage is the MicroSD and the External Storage is the actual internal Memory of my device!!!!!
I'm tired of it... grrrrrr... dono what to do now...
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...
Previously, I was running Illusion ROM, and there was a persistent problem that was really bothering me. The music app that I use (Doubletwist) had always given me the choice to switch music storage location to the external SD, but with Illusion, it doesnt give me the option. It seems that all AOSP roms do the same thing because now I am running paranoid android and still cant solve the problem, but if I go to a non-AOSP, the problem is fixed. Of course, PA is the rom i want to stay on.
Ive attached two pictures of the root explorer /mnt and /storage from both the stock rom and the PA rom, if that helps.
Is it that this app only recognizes a certain folder name, whatever the stock rom had named the folder? And if so, how do I go about fixing this so the SD card is recognized. Help would be greatly appreciated because im angry at myself for having to ask for help :|
