Before I ever started flashing kernels or ROMs my GS2 sees my internal card as the SD Micro card and my SD Card as the internal card?? Anyone else have this or know why this is??
Example, just now I went into CWM to update my SHOstock ROM and had to choose internal card for it to see the update even though I put the update on the SD Card..
same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed my gs2 for the first time. i thought at first i accidentally loaded the zip onto my internal sd accidentally but i double checked and it was definitely on the external sd.
That's just the way it works on Entropy's kernel. I believe it even says so in his thread.

Yup. Someone didn't read the Changelog.
Cyanogenmod labels their partitions differently than Samsung-derived ROMs (Samsungs don't follow the current Android standard).
Right now the CWM binary in Daily Driver is pulled straight from CM7, so I haven't had a chance to recompile and label the external SD as external instead of internal

Hey guys. How do I make the external SD card the default location to where my data goes. I bought 9 MM And it required a full gig of data and it all went on my internal storage

No clue - turns out that what the OP was talking about was how CWM reports internal vs. external.
Hi I just came from the Thunderbolt and I am used to Backing up and flashing my ROMs from the SD card. I have noticed all of the instructions are recommending doing this from internal memory.
I have a 64 GB sd card formatted in FAT32 and TWRP sees it fine. I was wondering the reasons for using the internal memory.
Thanks

A lot of people have suggested using internal because the same people most likely use CWM and not TWRP. CWM does not function properly yet with use of the ext sd card. I used CWM for years but currently I'm using TWRP as it utilizes my ext card.

CWMR now utilizes the ext sd card which is cool. I was using TWRP also but switched back to CWMR.

I have been having a weird problem installing roms to my rooted galaxy s3 I9300
i have the phone rooted, i have it backed up with nandroid, and i have clockwork mod recovery on the phone.
when i boot it into recovery mode the phone doesnt see the roms i have on the SD card. from all videos of "how to install" they were left in the zip folder therefore i decided to leave them there.
any ideas anybody?
Are you selecting sdcard then ext sdcard?
Otherwise its looking in phone not external

i was checking just sd card
Yeah as the (long) question says, I want to upgrade from 4.1.2 but I have no external sd card to store the rom on, this means I can only 'dirty flash' which is likely to cause problems.
Please could anyone advise how I go about the process of upgrading to KITKAT? please
What? Why do you need an external SD card? More reading required, you need to know this kind of thing before messing with your phone. Load the rom on your inbuilt storage, the internal SD. Flash rom from internal SD with necessary wipes. Done.
When I first started mucking around with my S2, I didn't have am external SD for the first 6 months or so. No problems caused /encountered.

Haha, I am quite experienced flashing lol its just been a while. I've always had an external sd and was unsure if the system wipe etc would erase the saved rom.
Haha, thanks for the reply, I had an idea it would be safe to just do it but you have confirmed what I was unsure of

You can't exactly... the "internal storage" in your screen shot is the /data partition for installing applications, that is the normal place apps go. Under normal circumstances you cannot install apps to your internal (12.5GB) storage, it is considered external storage to the operating system, hence why it is in /sdcard0 and your real microSD card is /sdcard1. To use these areas for apps you must use a tool like App2SD, Link2SD, or similar app, and only some apps can be moved, if it has a widget it cannot be moved and there are a few other rules that it will ward you about.
Okay.... So I did what you said and tried link2sd, but when moving apps to SD I get an 'INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR'
And isn't there suppose to be an 'move to SD card' option in this app?

No, not in KitKat anyways, it doesn't have the SD card support that ICS had, Google hates SD cards for some reason, and has been limiting SD card support more and more in each Android version since Ice Cream Sandwich.
As far as the error in Link2SD, not sure, I haven't used it in years... Sorry.
I can be able to move apps to sdcard0 on omni kitkat rom...guess I'll stick 2 it,other kitkat roms excluding liquidsmooth and omni are a bit laggy

Sounds like you need to format the internal storage then mount it and just for good measure backup the external and format that and then mount too. I had a similar problem and when I did this all is well. I hope this helps.
Still a no show

How do you go about formatting the internal sd card. I just went from 4.2 to 4.4.4 and now TWRP and CWM recoveries will not mount and recognize the internal card. I can't even access the internal card to format it or anything else. How do I go about fixing this. 4.4.4 is pretty sweet.

Thanks for getting back to me.
The problem is the real internal storage is unmountable on my phone. My external sd card it appears to be partitioned as the system and external storage sd cards. There is no sdcard0.
The internal emmc card is unaccessible even in recovery.

Oh got ya. I tried researching a little bit and didn't find the info I was looking for. Could you please be a little more specific. What steps would I need to go through to do this. Right now I'm running 4.4.4 Pac-Man with the internal SD card issues.
I found the RUU's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094412&page=2
But what do I do with the exe?
I really appreciate all the help you can give! Thanks...

Seems this little problem is only on liquidsmooth and carbon rom...I saw a post about partitioning/format sdcard/emmc before flashing the rom...I'll try that tonight.
