Hi all,
I've accidentally formatted my galaxy s2 internal storage to NTFS file system ( I want to format the external sd .. )
Now my s2 ( with CM9 and Syah kernel ) of course can't see the internal storage....
There is a way to recover my internal storage ??
Thanks
Reformat the internal storage in your phone, or with PC format in FAT32, or in CWM select format internal storage.

After formatting the Internal Storage in fat 32 ? so there is no way to see the ntfs internal storage on my PC so to make a backup ?
So there is no way to mount the file system ntfs to see in windows and make a backup of files ?
As imagined CWM Recovery can't format the internal stoge... "Error to mount /sdcard"

Hi cvrkimi,
I bumbed over a site with some instructions similar to what you need, only they are for a Galaxy Nexus. You could try finding similar.
Here's the link http ://www.droidforums.net/forum/galaxy-nexus-development/209149-backup-sd-partition-using-dd.html
Cheers,
Stefan.
Had the same issue now back to normal..

I took like 6 hours to figure this out since i had the same problem but its very simple to solve. To solve this just use odin software and reinstall back to the orginal Android OS (in my case 4.03 that i installed). Follow the mentioned instruction below in the site that xda doesnt let me provide the link to. Look for this title in google How To Download And Install Official Android 4.0.3 ICS Update On Galaxy S II Right Now and follow it
and you'll be back to normal.
Doing this should reset everything, install the new OS and redo the file system format by converting the accidental NTFS - FAT32. phew

hey all,
i was about to wipe and flash a new rom but accidentally clicked the partition sd in cwm. i think the size of the partition was 128mb...
i flashed the rom anyways and its like nothing happened. i plugged the phone into the pc and only shows the internal memory and my external sd card.
any1 had experienced this b4?
a little worried so need some input from others.
cheers
By internal u mean the 11.50gb partition and by external you mean ur memory card? Ofcourse you can only see those two.. You can see the 1.9gb partition of your phone because it is where the application gets installed and it is not used as storage for media etc(if you know what i mean)..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
from what i understand, the cwm 5.0 function "partition sd" means the 1.9gb partition. i think i partitioned that portion of the fone. anyway to reverse that? would a restore of backup clear that 128mb partition i made?
No, partition SD is the external one (micro sd)

Guys I am on omega ROM v31.
I flashed previous to this codec ROM.
Now I see AOSP browser Cwm and Wallpapers which I got when I flashed codec ROM as write
Protected in internal SD card.
I am unable to format them.
In Windows as well as Linux it says write protected so unable to format.
Please please help me friends.
I tried everything but my internal SD just refuses to format.
And same error with external SD card.
hi
have you tried to delete them via root explorer ?
*don't forget to set read\write permission
Tried but it says sd card doent allow to change permissions...
Root the phone boot to recovery mounts and storage format cache system data and preload .
#Flash stock rom .
Or use one of the many wipe tools posted .
jje
I am already rooted and I am on codec jb rom right now...
Just a query..
Can I use mobile Odin or do I have to do it by PC method...
I actually didn't understand what you meant by wipe tools and how to use them...
great...Thanks...
But how do I format extSdcard...
That solved internal sd issue.
But external sd card still says unable to format.
Write protected...
Format ext sd via a card reader and windows as FAT32 .

Try formatting it with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home edition... please backup the data first and PLEASE PAY ATTENTION which disk you'll be formatting... If you choose the wrong directory, your PC harddisk will be formatted instead of your extSdCard...

Hi,
Short question:
When I format "internal SD" (not the SD card) from CWM does this mean that all data ROM-wise was cleared? Or there are some other partitions that I can not access from CWM? Where I can read about this?

That is not really answer to my question but thank you anyway
It was the answer if you go to mounts and storage in recovery .

The internal memory has nothing to do with the rom

No idea what you mean in this context internal memory is internal storage .
The firmware is located in different partitions of the internal storage often called memory by some users .
The user wants to wipe these partitions of the current rom and its data .
Recovery mounts and storage format data cache system sd card and preload .

I meant "format internal sd" in recovery does not affect the Rom
(Google traduction is very bad lol)

There is no "format internal SD" in CWM.. However if you use the wipe data option it will not remove the rom you are using.. Just the data... Location where all your downloaded apps and settings are stored..
There is a format "/sdcard" option which will format your internal storage area.. Including everything on your internal sdcard.. Again will not delete your rom...

Yes here I was talking to / sdcard when I said "Internal SD Card" : D
For the OP
to wipe all data and the rom boot to recovery as i said and the method i have used for years on SGS .
Mounts and storage
Format cache system data preload and sd card .
Phone will now no longer boot no OS/Rom .
There is format internal sd card in recovery .
Running custom rom that needs rebuild so i just flashed Touch recovery .
formatted as above phone no longer boots no rom no OS empty .

Hey guys,
i recently had charging problems with my S3, so i gave to service center and had it repaired but they formatted the phone!
i had very much important videos and photos in my internal card (i dont have external sd card), now i am thinking of recovering it by using some recovery software but my S3 doesnt have any option to mount it as USB! only MTP and another one!
so how can i make it available my internal storage as a drive so that recovery software can recognize it?
formatted the phone >>>> means its gone .

cant it do it this way or use any recovery apps for android platform itself!?
is there any recovery software which recognizes mtp partion?
There are recovery apps on the market .

It's impossible till now to mount internal sdcard as ums. The 'sdcard' is in fact a folder of /data mounted virtually as a disk. So mtp is the only solution to have access to it.
The only way to mount it as ums would be to set /data/media as a separate partition, which is not possible with jelly bean, would break the dynamic space allocation for data.
And recovery tools need to have access at partition level to be able to run raw read instructions.
AFAIK internal card recovery from computer is not possible, perhaps you can try some android recovery apps, never tried them.
Hi,
I have a strange problem since installing CM 10.1.3 & the latest Dorimanx Kernel on my Galaxy S II. I can't access my internal SD card from the ROM, it's visible and accessible via the recovery system though. Is there any possibility to mount the SD card from inside the ROM again or can anyone give me a clue where to look for it?
Thanks in advance
go into recovery>mount/storage
try to mount
i hope it worked ;D

I can mount in in recovery mode, that's not the problem. I just can't mount it after the phone booted into the OS.
uhm, do you get the notifaction to format your internal sdcard, if not just go to settings>storage>go down and look for "format sdcard"
i know it says sdcard but it format your internal card and not the external, but there's one problem it deletes your app data (its just fresh app)
and everthing on your internal, so picture music is gone. but i think that is better than having a broken internal sdcard.
i hope this works
