the path of internal storage has changed to /storage/emulated/0 I think ...
Did you flashed with full wipe ??

Dys66 is right
the path of internal storage has changed to /storage/emulated/0
however if you did a full wipe all saved data are gone

I did full wipe but I can see the files when the phone in recovery mode so the files didn't delete

just copy the files to your external SD an copy them back after you flashed the 4.2 ROM ...
the external SD should be untouched even with full wipe ...

Help installing CM10

I'm having issues upgrading from CM9 to CM10...
I downloaded the zip file of the most recent CM10 experimental and when I try to install the zip in CWM recovery it says that no files were found. I can't seem to pull up any of my files on the internal sdcard.
I had no issues installing CM9 or any of the nightlies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any other idea?

Is there anything I can do to check into this? I have never had any problems access my internal sd other than this issue...
Maybe you switched the mountpoints in CM9? Can you access your external SD card (if you have one) from the recovery?

I don't have an external SD. I have no problem accessing my internal SD when the phone is on but just not when I'm in recovery.

When I go into "choose zip from internal sdcard" I get the option to install emmcupdate.zip . What is this all about?

Just do it the hard way. I can't think of anything else. Flash a Samsung stock ROM, then check whether the same problem exists there.

Wiping out full data

Hello guys.
I wanted to know a high standard way of wiping out my FULL data after installing omega rom. I dont think factory reset is so superior.
My phone should look like a brand new without any extra data but with omega rom.
So please tell me a way. It should be like installing a new windows after a complete format
Thanks.
why do u think factory reset is not "superior"?
Factory reset is good enough. If you still not satisfied then you can try to use super wipe which you can find it in ARHD development thread.

Ok thanks.
One last question.
It says that we have to flash super wipe script in Recovery mode from internal sdcard.
Ok fine.
But then it says that again select option "Install From Internal SDcard" and choose ROM.zip.
*I am installing OMEGA rom. Will its zip be flashable this way?
*I have no external SDcard. Will my ROM.zip (Omega.zip) get removed during wipe process? Then what will i do if this happens?

Then you cannot use super wipe because it will totally wipe your internal memory.
Get an ext sdcard. Is cheap

Yh u gta have a removable sd to do a proper box fresh wipe. Then use superwipe. Or format /data
/system
/internal sd etc
Warning. If u do this with no Rom or backup on ur ext/sd u will have a hollow phone.. easily fixed but still a pain in the arse

[Q] 2GB only after full wipe ????

ok, i am seriously confused !! i did a factory / full wipe reset and after that i ONLY have 2gb available ??? how is that possible ???
anyone can help with this ? i am really confused here !!
PS: my photos are on my external SD
Using clockworkmod recovery????
EDIT : It only wipes apps and app data. It doesn't wipe the internal SD card.. only stock recovery wipes internal SD card.

Stock Samsung ROM's come with the stock recovery.. you'll get around 11.25 GB free I think.

I don't have the link to the stock recovery.. sorry..
You won't loose root as it doesn't wipe /system partition. All the system apps will be intact.

a factory reset from phone itself should do it ? right ??

ok, root stayed, freed alll my mem !! now i have more than 11gb available !!
Wow. Noobs Galore here. You dont need the stock recovery. Even if you had it wiping data from it doesnt format your internal card. Fatory resetting (from any version of android) while booted up will clear all data and internal sd card.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
......or just format your sd card
looks like my CWM backups were taking the space !!
for future, grab the app disk usage, great visual analysis of what is using storage

Dumb and dumber...

First check that you are using the last CWM release... Older CWMs are not compatible with some new Roms...
I can't understand why you couldn't flash rom from your External SD card!
but at least you have odin, and you flash a new rom with it

Have you read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/info-flashed-4-2-sdcard-data-t2274218 << if this is not your problem and all your internal sd card as been formatted then there is not much hope i have seen a few post's about file recovery apps/programs but not seen any good results from them..
No it isnt abt that my internal memory has been formatted completely
