Hello!
I am new to Fascinate, but have plenty of experience with the htc flyer. I have 3 questions to ask (searched but still confused, this forum is so much bigger than the flyers, not entirely sure where to look
1. What all do I install with odin for miui 4? I have odin and samsumg drivers, but not sure about everything I need to flash in irder for miui 4. Root first or what? Running 2.2.2 with a baseband: s:i500.04 v:ed05
2. Where is the internal storage of this phone? Does it exist? I know apps are installed in a separste directory, but other than that, I cannot load any files without an sd card. I thought this has 16gb of internal, and settings says I have 1.45 of imternal left when all I see without the card is the 5 apps ive installed?
3. Ok so my fascinate is deactivated, running with no mobile data just wifi. I got it from a friend who used to use this phone, and I just wanted another android to tool around with, no imtentions on activating since I just cant afford a data plan. Will miui 4 run on a deactivated phone?
Thanks!!! Sorry if these are noob questions and several of them for that matter, the forum for this phone is just so overwhelming, I didnt know where to start!

Ok i am new to this phone, just some questions. I am coming from NEXUS S.
First of all, I flashed CWM 4.0 using ODIN, so how did it update itself to 5.0??
Second, with 4.0 I dont have any problems, but with 5.0.2.7, how do you mount internal memory??
What is emmc, efc etc. In nexus S, it just used to mount internal memory because it never had a slot for micro SD. But since this phone has internal and additional SD slot, maybe there is a way to mount internal memory too on CWM 5.0? On 4.0 i just select mount USB storage and it mounts but not on 5.0. It just says - "unable to write to ums lunfile". How do you guys mount storage to flash roms???
Also, I want to do a complete clean install on this other ROM. How can I flash everything from 100% clean??
Also, on this other ROM, the apps were being downloaded automatically from saved settings under google account. Then all of a sudden after a few apps, it just said - ERROR DOWNLOADING. No more space left or something....but I had lots of space though...whats going on here???
Please help me with this issue, I will be really thankful.
Sorry, don't mean this to come out the wrong way, but, Please search the forums with the search bar, also faq in general and q&a etc. first. Google will help also.
After that, come back and ask, most more experienced users will then be willing to try explain if able.

Of course i searched and still couldnt find any helpful details. This is why I posted here. Please help anyone.
I can't answer your first or third question but I'll answer the second one. In order to get a fresh install, you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe system. After that, then you can flash the ROM you want.

When you mount the phone via CWM using USB Storage or when you use a file explorer inside any ROM, you can find under /sdcard the internal memory of the phone and under /sdcard/sd_external the SD card in the phone slot (if you have one SD inserted).

Reboot on CWM with the ROM install zip in the SD card and delete /cache /data and /system, and install the ROM.
As for the other errors, I would suggest you see if the internal memory is really available or the ROM is using it for other purposes...
Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?

Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...
Thanks.
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...
Hello everyone. I bought my sgs2 pre-rooted and have always had the problem of what looks to be an internal SD card partition. I read thought the thread below as well as a few others that say unmounting/remounting the SD card should fix the problem, however, I am under the impression that is for the External SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640983
When I go to “Setting–>Storage” I have the following:
Internal Storage
Total Space 1.97 gb
Available 1.21 gb
Internal Storage
Total Space 11.36 gb
SD[Card
Total Space 14.83 gb
Anyone have any thoughts? I have plenty of space on my phone, however, it seems that everything I install is being put into that first Internal storage space. I need to get this internal "partition" removed to have the full amount of space (16gb) of internal storage.
ps: This was a fresh AOKP flash after clearing all data and factory setting twice before flashing.
I see nothing wrong here. You are supposed to have a 2gb partition for apps to install to. If you try and change that you are asking for problems.

So everything is Okay?? Whenever I go to camera (on AOKP's 8/30 JB) it says "SD card is running out of space". Also, I do not have that many apps installed, some apps won't be able to save data.
Flash back to stock rooted and see if you have the same issue

Stock ICS? as in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I had this before and had same issues. I flashed to CM9/AOKP ICS and had same problem, but was able to save location where Camera saved images.
But you don't need more internal storage. That has nothing to do with your problem.
I would flash it back to stock gingerbread and see if you still have the same problem.

The problem with phone memory as in apps saving/camera or to see if the storage page looks any different than what it does?
Also, Are there any extra steps needed to go from JB to GB? I have never flashed down from a newer version before.
Thanks for the help Pirateghost

Thanks Snipe. When I had ICS 7.3 aokp i was able to change that, but could not find a way to fix it in JB. One thing after the next I started getting paranoid that I fluxed something up... Thanks for the re-assurance. I may just wait until a newer build is out for AOKP.
Thanks for the help everyone, I apologize for spamming the forums. I have been avid reading these since I started flashing back in May, I guess everyone has to create a username eventually.

Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

Tobad clockwork is not working again
you know a good 1 thats works for GT-I9505?
Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Thanks for all the help ill reinstall the offical firmware hope that helps the solution.
ill try the folder mount hope it works becoas my phone is full fast when i download a couple of games.
Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

Well the main problem was when i install a couple of games the main memory is full way to fast
thats why i wanted and hoped the swap would help the problem.
tho i just made more problems and consumed to mutch time :silly:
i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.
Can plz anyone tell me how to change location to install apps from phone storage to SD card because my phone storage is full, plz help... I used Motorola driod razr m xt907 ...
You can change some apps individually by going into settings>apps and chose migrate to SD
This will put it on fat32 partition which will for sure be a bit slower than internal data
If you are rooted then you can install any app you want to SD, if you make an ext4 partition to install it will be closer to internal storage speeds but still a bit slower. (Note although any app could be moved in this case there are many that can perform very poorly there)

You had posted in link2sd forum too. Pretty simple google search and you have this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783806 I think you mentioned your on 4.4.4? So if you read that thread. It will take you to towelroot. You can get your phone rooted first. Then move on to installing link2sd and freeing up some space on your phone. Anyway as in your other post. Getting the phone rooted will be the first step to other things you asked about. Good luck.
