Hi everyone!
This is sort of my first post on here, so please correct me if I'm posting the wrong place or anything like that
I'm fairly new to all the rooting and custom ROMs and all, but i enjoy it - it works great!
Now, though, I have a serious issue! I've been running the stock CM10 ROM for about a month now, and I haven't encountered anything huge of problems and been updating it almost every day with newest nightlies. But then suddenly one day my phone couldn't mount the internal storage. And it was like at a random time. I hadn't installed anything or changed anything, i had just taken a picture with the camera..
When I go to settings > storage I get a "Internal storage: 1.97 GB - apps: 868 MB - available: 868MB. and underneath that it says "Internal storage: Mount SD card", however nothing happens when i press it. When using a file manager, I can still see the extSD. I've been googling everything like crazy, tried every solution to what looked to be the same issue but no results! Even when booting CWM and go to mount, it can't mount the mnt/emmc or format it or the SD card. It just says "error running /emmc!".
I haven't tried to factory reset as I would like this to be the last thing tried as I don't like setting my phone up again.
Please help! I can't take photos, watch my photos, listen to music or run half of my apps!
So, what's the status? No one knows what to do?

Thanks for reply!
I haven't tried exactly that app, but I've tried a lot of remount / mount SD card apps. But isn't RemountSD just to use extSD instead of internalSD?
Sorry, I can't try it atm. I can't download anything directly from my phone "without an SD" as it says.. and i don't have a USB cable or SD card reader atm.

Okay thanks to this amazing community I can now use my vibrant as a phone again! There is still one last problem that is making it so my vibrant wont work. When I power it on after using odin, it boots up as normal then goes into its scan for media, then pops up and says "Removed Internal SD Card" and goes away right away. After that it gives me the cant read micro sd card error. When I go into settings it shows that both the internal and the external SD cards are unavailable. Although it does show the 1.7gb that I have for apps. Everything works as normal, but I cannot use the camera, I cant root the device, or have any apps that require files beyond the .apk. Again any help with this would be amazing!

menu > Settings > phone storage
can you unmount/mount then reboot? Never heard of this before, and you sound like you had other issues but I don't know what since you created a new thread (I suppose?)
oh sorry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043892 is my last issue. When I go into settings it is all greyed out. I cant click on it at all.

I know this is like a 2 and a half year BUMP, but this is exactly my situation!!! I mean EXACTLY! Has anyone found a solution? Please help!
Hey
my phone (running CM9) thinks that I have 0.90gb free out of 11.36 of total storage space.
I actually have about 7Gb. ( I can see it: apps+pictures+downloads+audio)
something is wrong...
anybody has any idea how to fix?
thanks!
READ THE FAQ's on the ROM's thread....
this is standard on CM9 and AOKP. go to storage under system settings, tap the menu button and change the storage configuration to "use internal storage".
I know I dont care for this either. It also causes issues will some apps that look for a standard file system, and are unaware of the /emmc folder. But I find both CM9 and AOKP ROM's far superior to others, so I just put up with it
Thanks dude but the thing is that it's already on "use internal storage" but yet the issue persists....
Plug phone into PC. Backup all data to PC. Format SD card. Put data back on. Profit. Well at least it seems to have helped some. I don't use external SD cards but I've read this fix has worked.

Hey dude.
I don't use the external sd card.
the problem is in my internal memory
K. Same solution, using internal storage. Take everything u want to keep (pics and vids) off then wipe that thing clean.

i have a similar question, my i777 send me the error: E: can't mount /emmc/ , and that happens when i try to enter to the internal sd, not load my OS, also not work the reinstall os, i also install the previews os version same issue, use cwm 5.0.2.3 and that is the only way i'm able to access the recovery-
The thread says it all. I have a rooted EVO LTE running the CM 10. Everything was working fine until I accessed the SD Card from within TWRP to copy a file. Now I get errors when I look at the command line within TWRP "failed to mount /sdcard {Invalid argument)". Can anybody help me? Thanks so much to all of this community.

The only way I was able to fix this was to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it. I lost what was on there, but it's working now.
I formated my card through windows 7 and I still have the same problem. I never had this issue on any of my previous rooted phones I am really gettin pissed with the lte...

Are you guys also having trouble accessing the Camera? Mine doesn't seem to pick up my SD card and only allows me to use the Camera using external storage...
Well when I pull my camera up my phone days " no external storage available" then at the bottom if my screen another pop up says "insert an SD card before using the camera" I have my SD in....idk what to do. I searched the threads already but nothing besides some guy saying format my SD...I did that but now I have the same problem along with my pictures and music being erased.

Well you could have put the files on your comp first and then reformatted, but I am having the same problem. I guess we just gotta hang in there. It will be fixed soon I hope.
I'm having the same issue with the Aug. 31 CM10 nightly. I cannot access my SD card. If I look in system memory, it shows the card and the size, but I cannot access it, same as you guys. Trying with TWRP to wipe, it shows a bunch of e: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). Still no solutions?

I was able to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it from my computer. Obviously I lost my data that was on the SDCard, but none of the apps I had running were affected. Once I did this and rebooted into CM10, everything was fine and I just made a fresh Titanium Backup of all of my apps. My previous TWRP Nandroids were on the SDCard, so they were lost, but I can always reinstall another ROM and restore my Titanium Backups and go from there. Hope that helps.
I had this same exact problem, but the external storage it is referring to is actually your internal sd card, and not the external.
What you need to do is go into TWRP and mount YOUR INTERNAL sd card (don't switch to external), and in windows 7 format it.

AWESOME! Thanks!
So I'm having a similar issue, except I didn't try to access the external sd card from TWRP. And yes I've verified its the actual physically removable card.
I can see it in the system storage menu. However when I try to access it in Estrongs, it's no longer mounted as ext_sd in the sdcard folder. I did some digging and found it's now mounted as external_sd in the root folder of the phone. Looking in the storage folder, it still shows up as sdcard1, and my internal storage is still sdcard0. This seems to have happened after I flashed one of the nightlies, like 9/1 or 9/2. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I'd rather not revert to my last backup, which was a Sense rom. I think this is screwing with the media scanner, because none of my sounds for alarms calls or texts work anymore

this is a work around for the HTC method of listing the sd cards, in my opinion HTC really screwed the pooch with the way they labeled the file system. The way sense accesses the external sd is through a shortcut to the physical address of the external sd. It really screwed with apps like power amp which had no problem reading both cards but if for example you went to power amp and marked what folders had your music by selecting the folders through the ext_sd folder shortcut it would read and list your music twice. another user who flashed cm10 noticed this (not the ext_sd file problem but the way CM10 was confused by the structure) and quickly wrote (then generously shared) a script that would rewrite the address correctly. I guess that a similar script (or that very same one) was introduced to the installer for the nightly builds
Wow thanks for the clear explanation. I too thought the ext_sd method was screwy, with all of my custom notification sounds showing up twice. Any idea on how to fix my alarm and call sounds not working? Can't afford to miss a day of class lol
This isn't definite as I haven't had to but going to fix permissions might help if some programs aren't recognizing the file tree
Welp, it was worth a shot, but no go. Ima keep tinkering. Thanks anyway tho
Well here's what I did after I flashed the original rewrite script, I had to factory reset (changes survived)and then wipe system, then reflash the nightly build (fastboot kernel for boot 1.15+)
Edit: I still have the shortcut folder on my internal however its not linked anymore so nothing shows up, everything else works fine
Ok, tried a full reset, wiped data, system, caches. Ringtones are working again, as are text tones. Alarms, still silent as ever... I'm so confused right meow
Sorry to hear that man
New to XDA. Tried searching the forums if similar issue has been asked before but seems that none is quite similar to my situation.
Mine Atrix was HK 2.3.4 stock rom. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed epinter's CM10. The custom rom works well so far.
But the major problem is that whenever I use apps that require external storage, such as Photo Gallery and Play Music,
or try to save/restore backup of apps in the sd card, these apps pop up a message "no external storage available" and force close.
I tried to flash back to the 2.3.4 stock rom and the sd card works fine with my phone.
Then I once again flashed CM10, the above problem occurs one again.
With CM10, when I connect the phone with my computer through USB cable, I can only access to the sd card but not the internal storage.
I installed ASTRO and I can explore the files on sd card (/storage/sdcard1), but since I can't access to internal storage on computer,
I have no idea which directory I should look for in ASTRO as the internal storage.
When it was 2.3.4 stock rom, the above problems never happened. Could anyone advise me the solution?
/storage/sdcard0 ->Internal
/storage/sdcard1 -> External
Did you do a clean install (full-wipe)? Check on CM10 Settings -> Storage [Use external storage]

Yes I did 3-wipe before and after flashing rom. And the Settings -> Storage [Use external storage] didn't help.
Hi
As far as I know, you must enter in advanced option and here activate the external SD card.

This has already been done before.
[Update]After a reboot, the phone finally can detect the sd card, but the internal storage is still absent from the file explorer (ASTRO) or the computer through USB. So weird?
I recently flashed this rom and I am having the same problems except my external micro SD card works, could anyone help?
You're not alone I'm having he same problem with external sdcard. Maybe there's no solution for now

hello guys hope this can help
I flashed cm10 epinter for atrix olympus hk version. I had the same problem of disappearing internal storage, even in recovery the emmc cannot mount. After digging for weeks i finally found this that saved me. Basically it is just deleting the old partition , remake it and then format. Instruction is simple just a few lines. Just need to be careful.
Now both internal and external storage are OK and both show in usb mode connecting to computer. Hope it works for you and not too late.

Two days ago I went to flash a rom to test it out and as soon as it booted I was faced with the out of storage error message. Now every time I flash any ROM I'm facing the same thing. BTW I always do every type of wipe recommended b4 anything even system format. Any help here I will be very thankful. Never had this problem before and just in case its the metropcs p769.
Also it won't let me install anything from both play store or SD not even when removing some system apps.

I got this message sometime ago. It's because disable sdcard or swap internal/external memory. Even as your phone memory is available but if your external sdcard is almost full, you will get that warning message and cannot install any app.

I did delete that folder, but i believe it was another folder containing a bunch of data that i think was the culprit. Message went away, so i belive is fixed as i was able to continue normally. thx for the help. If anything surfaces again i'll keep you posted.
