Hi guys,
I am using Mac and I just try to format the internal storage on disk utility, I choose the MS-DOS(FAT) to format. After that, the phone cannot recognise the internal storage, it said the sd card is damage and ask to reformat. But nothing happen after I click format. Than I connect the phone to PC and mount it, but just the circle keeps running and the green android buddy haven't change to orange color, and in System, the Internal Storage in Storage are empty, no any information are shown. Therefore, I reformat the sd card in CWM and even re-flash the whole ROM, but nothing change.
PLEASE HELP:angel:

I have used some custom ROMs (2.2, 2.3) on my X10, but none of them recognizes my SD card. The stock ROM (2.1) reads it properly, it is visible when I connect the phone to the computer via USB using the stock ROM.But when i use a custom one it says "Please mount SD card..." on Storage Settings and the computer recognizes it as removable disk, but it shows that the card is empty.I've tried cleaning all types of caches, full wipe, mounting/unmounting the SD card and formatting it with xRecovery and changing different basebands.
Is it a ROM bug, or I am doing something wrong?
Please check that your SD card is formatted to FAT 32. If not, the ROM won't recognised it.
Your SD card is probably partitioned.
Custom ROMs for X10 only recognise the second partition on an SD card,
meaning if you have one FAT32 and one ext2 (ext3, ext4, etc), it will mount the second and thus won't be able to read it, so you'll get an "SD card corrupted" message.
You need to wipe and erase the second partition with the same program you used to create it and it should work fine on any custom ROM.
I wiped the old partitions and then formatted the SD card to FAT32.Now it's recognized properly by the ROM.Thanks to both of you!!!
Hi guys, I have been using the AURA Rom for a while now but today when I rebooted my phone it would not go past the beginning blue android splash screen. I am trying to use CWM to wipe data and factory reset but it says:
wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error Mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format...
Formatting /emmc/.android_secure...
Data Wipe Complete
Now when I reboot the phone it gets stuck at Blur setup and none of the buttons are responsive. Eventually, the screen goes black and thats it. On the top left of the notification bar there is the icon for mounting internal storage and it doesnt go away. I am getting the feeling that the phone is not being able to mount the internal storage. I would really appreciate some help as I have no clue what to do and googling isnt bringing up any results. Thanks
So the phone just went past the blur setup part and booted into android. The problem is that the internal storage is not being recognized and is not mounting. When I go into settings and storage. It doesnt register the internal storage. It shows 0 bytes and hitting format does not do anything. Also when I try to connect to computer, I cannot see the internal storage. If you try to mount the internal storage, everything freezes.
Edit: Problem solved by formatting internal storage in Windows

Its a long shot, but if you still are round. How do you format INTERNAL storage from windows? I cant just take the sdcard out, but I dont know how to format it from windows.

connect phone to computer with usb and when the drives show up on your then select the internal sc card (right click) and select format.
Sorry, I meant how to format the internal flash storage, which has many partitions on it (one of them being the internal SD you refer to)
So I checked the settings in the ICS and saw something like clear/format the internal SD I don't remember exactly.
I pressed the button.
Now I cant connect the SGS2 to the computer it just shows me 2 unrecognized partitions.
From recovery in the internal SD card there are 3 folders of the system.
What to do?
Maybe flash a stock ROM?
since you have formated your internal sd, you have a blank drive, since the external sd card depends on the internal.
You need to flash a new rom using odin.
Hi, I'm using a n7000 Slimkat 4.4.4 rom, with slim kernel 3.0.80+ autobuild.
Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up. Not even the reformat works anymore
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this?
Each time I link files into the card (700mb size, it worked previously) it freezes the whole phone
From the storage option I can see this:
1. Internal storage 2GB (normal, nothing wrong with it)
2. Internal storage 11GB (this should be USB storage, and it has a erase SD card option at the end)
3. SD card 2GB (It was 4GB but I used link2sd to create an internal partition. MTP and mass storage is not detected but using card reader it is fine)
4. USB storage (there is only a mount and erase SD card option which is greyed out/unclickable and does not has any space indicator)

there is nothing wrong at all.
just repartition and reformat your sdcard and dont use external sdcards for app storage.

But what about the greyed out USB storage option? I don't remember seeing it in that way

it should be grayed unless you connect usb storage to your phone.
