Hi, i also have this problem but everywhere i look, i cant find a sollution...I installed this cm10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000828, and everything worked fine except apps that needs an external storage available. i can read the sd card, but mu usb memory is non-existing... What can I do?
EDIT: When i made the backup with cwm 6.0, few times in a row black screen happened, and the phone switched off, then i flashed the 5.5 cwm and than an error occured on the usb memory, so i made a backup od the sd card.
If i want to go back to stock ROM, is it possible that i download the rom for a different country? because mine is not on the list.

Hi all,
I just installed Auxora 2.3.1.0, and everything is functioning fine with the phone except for the fact that the phone doesn't recognize that any storage is present on the phone. Under settings > SD and phone storage it says "Unavailable" for both SD and phone storage where it would normally show how much space is available.
Any idea how to fix this?
Not quite sure if I'm posting this in the right place... I would have asked it in the thread where I downloaded the ROM but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
Thanks in advance
i know 2.2.1 rom had a sd problem for me and i was on 2.2.1 port but from there i flashed another kernel over (deAD hourse) and it solved my problem
I would try that, but I have no way of flashing a new kernel because I can't put anything on the internal storage because the phone can't access it..
I'm now able to successfully mount the SD to USB while I'm in recovery mode so I can transfer files onto the SD, but no matter what I am unable to get the phone to recognize either the internal or external SDs unless I'm using stock 2.1 update-1...
Anybody have a solution to this?
This problem is getting ridiculous for me... the phone won't recognize the phone storage or sd card on any kernel or ROM other than stock 2.1. I've tried Bionix, Auxura, and just finished flashing Deodexed_KA7 one of these that will allow me to use my phones storage is 2.1.
I also tried applying the fix found in this thread, and it didn't work.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can get fix this??? I really don't want to be stuck with stock 2.1 anymore
My tablet has 8GB of onboard storage and is partitioned. 1GB as "tablet memory" and the other 6GB (approx) as an "internal SD" with the remaining for the ROM. Just recently I noticed that the 6GB partition went missing. It is no longer available to me. However, the tablet restarts and loads the ROM just fine. It also loads my external sdcard just fine too. I'm guessing something is wrong with the partition table? Or is the hardware toast?
I figure since the 1GB is still showing up that it isn't a hardware failure, but I'm not sure. I tried reinstalling my ROM, factory resetting, mounting the internal sd and nothing works. What can I do? The tablet is an Ainol Aurora 8GB model running Essential Clean Rom 1.1a. I tried just to forget it and make due with using just the 1GB and my external SD card but when I try to download apps from the Amazon Market it says that there is no SD card (internal) and that I need it. I didn't try Google Play yet...
Update: when i go wipe the system in CWM it says no apps2sd partition found and something about /sdcard .android secure. Does that have anything to do with it?
Try another ROM basically one stock ROM and after try a custom ROM.When you flash the stock ROM use repartition.IMO that's all.I hope this solution work for you.

Thanks for that. I'll see if restoring the stock rom helps. I doubt it though. I've tried 2 different ones (not stock) and it didn't do anything at all...

Hi Andie00, did you ever come to solution to your problem, as I'm experiencing something very similar with CM 10.2 my internal storage just disappear and I can't see it. Otherwise ROM works very well and fast, don't wish to switch to CM 11 which is more buggy in other ways.
Problem gone when I make factory reset/data wipe it worked until next reboot of device.

UPDATE: I find something interesting, if I remove my external SD card physically from device and than reboot phone, Internal Storage return to where it should be, and if I insert external SD after this, it become available as well and phone see 2 internal storages and external SD card.
If reboot device, in Settings > Storage I see first Internal storage normally, second is blank and external SD is visible.
Any idea why it happens and how it can be fixed?
Problem seems to be solved
answering my own yesterday's question
posting this for anyone who facing similar problem, maybe my experience would be helpful for someone.
I've tried to insert different SD card and reboot with it, and after this my internal storage remained visible. so I plugged my sd card to PC, examined it and moved from it to safe place all files which shouldn't belong there. for example I find out external SD contain .android_secure folder with 1.6gb of remains of old programs, though I never installed them to external SD, also I removed folder Android which contain just empty folders without files.
After this boot with that flash was successful and I can see both internal storages and external SD, and now I can use CM 10.2 on my Samsung gt-i8160 which works blazing fast comparing to stock firmware, phone never was so responsive no matter what I did before!
Hope it can help someone.
I posted this in regards to an old Ainol tablet I had. My "solution" was to put back the stock rom.

Thanks for response, Andie00! Glad I don't have to use your solution, so far my phone working better than new on CM10.2
Hi All
I have searched the forums for an answer to this, to no avail. Its not an easy problem to search, but apologies if this has been previously discussed..
After some years of owning and flashing various android phones I have suddenly come completely unstuck. I am not sure what has happened, but I suspect that my internal storage has died. No matter what Rom I load (including returning to stock flashed via Odin) I cannot see the phone's internal storage (i.e. the memory that used to appear as "internal USB" or similar). Instead, the "SD card" is being emulated under the folder "0" in the phone's main storage... I am unsure what is happening here.
This happened after flashing the latest version of Omega Rom (v44). Everything went completely fine as usual, I have no idea why this happened. When I rebooted the Rom had installed but internal storage was missing as described above. For some reason the AOKP elements of the Rom are not present, but the system does seem to work.
I have inserted an external SD card to see if the phone would just use that. No effect. It still appears to be "emulating" the external SD card.
I am not sure where to go from here. I can accept that my internal storage is dead. However, as described above inserting an external SD card still doesn't seem to allow the phone to work normally. It is still trying to emulate the SD card in the phone memory, even on a stock rom. On custom roms this seems to stop the AOKP element from working and I end up with some kind of half way house of custom rom and stock Samsung stuff... its bizarre!
Any help or even just thoughts as to what is going on here greatly appreciated.
I remember that in CM roms there is an issue with the 0 folder thing, but not familiar with it. Maybe someone with more experience could recommend you some action steps.
In case you could always try a full wipe (mega wipe) as it includes your sd card (internal) and leaves nothing on the phone. This will enable you to start from scratch (have a flashable rom on your external SD though).
Hello all. Sorry but be warned: I'm a n00b on the loose.
A few months ago I flashed ultima rom to my S3. In version 12, the extsd2internal mod could be installed through the aroma install. I did so and it seemed to work - my 16GB external sd was switched to Internal and it showed the internal storage space as being the external and vice versa.
However, I upgraded to V13 and in that version, extsd2internal is installed by default and is enabled/disabled in the ultima rom settings. I enabled it and rebooted and noticed that it doesn't seem to have worked - the internal memory and external memory are reading pretty much exactly the same. I formatted the SD card, disabled the mod and re enabled the mod. Still the same outcome. Then I completely wiped my phone memory and sd card through CWM recovery, flashed the stock rom through odin and re-rooted, re-installed CWM and flashed Ultima ROM back onto my device - the mod installed through aroma installer. I went and checked in storage and to my disappointment the problem is still the same.
No matter what I've tried, I can't get the mod to work properly ever since I installed ultima rom v13, despite wiping everything and starting again. is it a partitioning problem from installing the mod multiple times?
Please help guys. Turn on your genius!

Would a repartition fix? If so, does anybody have a PIT file for Android 4.1.2 SG 3 International UK?
Hey everyone.
I have been experiencing a huge problem for me, with my p760. I`m on latest PAC version, and about a week ago i had problems with UMS, while copying files from computer to my LG, suddenly the task froze, i couldn't turn off Mass Storage from phone either, so i just unplugged the device after aprox. 6 min of waiting. The result was in phone shutdown. I turnt back on, and tried once more, sadly the same happened, but this time i received a nice present of soft brick. I couldn't even turn my phone on in recovery (thanks to TWRP), i managed to flash CWM through fastboot, then made a factory reset, and phone booted up, but ever since the time, i am unable to copy files to SD card through UMS, and MTP doesn't work at all. So i'm stuck now. I want to reinstall phone, upgrade to new ROM, i know possibilities are just to download a new ROM through phone, but i like the PAC, so do you have any solution or tips to fixing this? Oh, also everytime i connect phone, it shows me that my SD card needs to be scanned for errors, i always skipped, 'til i tried, and no luck. 20min of waiting to tell me, it is all right with SD.
First use an external SD reader to scan for errors and eventually try substituting the SD to see if it's a phone or a SD problem. Second you can always flash a rom from internal SD!

I didn't thought about the internal SD, but still a KK disables Internal SD Emulation, i can't copy files to it through PC the "normal" way. How can i copy from PC to Internal SD?
