Are they in your external sd? Move then to your internal

If they are on your ext sd, 2.5.0.0 has a storage location selection near the top in the middle.

Just booted in to see exactly where it was and yes...at the top in restore where it says storage: data. Tick that and you can select from ext sd. The navigation is a bit different on 2.5

Never even noticed that. Granted I spent like 10 seconds looking before I just moved them. Thanks!

Yeah the layout on 2.5 seems tricky. I had to dig to find storage location in a few of the menu layouts. Team Win apparently wants to keep us from getting to complacent lol

Which version of CWM is it that lets you acess and flash from the sd card? At the moment I am running 5.5.0.4 I am pretty sure but it only lets me acess the phones built in storage and that is filling up pretty quick. Oh and I am using the sprint variant of the gs3.
not sure if it is the same for the SGS3, but on the ET4G, you could pick if you wanted to use the internal or external SD storage
Version 5.8.4.5. Tried and succeeded with my Tmo version.

Edit: do not update to or install the newest one which is the 5.8.4.6. That one only supports internal. It will still show the option to choose either ext or int...but fails each time you try to install from int.

why answer if you don't know the answer to the OP's question.
Ok, I have searched XDA, google, etc.. still have not found a solution.
I have 10.53GB of USB storage available on the Gnote. Can I install apps onto this area w/o installing a SD card??? I don't want to add an extra SD card as there is 10+ gigabytes on the phone available for use. Or is this data only available to put files from a connection to a computer???
Thank you much for any help.
How did you cram a USB drive into your phone?

Yes, 2GB full completely full. Can't even get updates on the apps already installed.
So is it possible to use the internal USB storage for apps???
Thanks.
Let me try something and get back to you.

Looks like you can't do it with the native application manager. Have you tried app2sd from playstore? I haven't us3d it so don't know if it has that capability.

Just tried that and no go... thanks.
Sorry for the noob question, but I can't seem to find an answer.
I have an HTC one (32gb version) that is quickly running out of space.
I have about 9gb of music on here, less than 100mb of photos, maybe 1gb of apps, and I only have 400mb free storage left!?
I recently rooted and installed the trickdroid Rom, but I performed a cache wipe and factory reset wipe through CWM I reinstalled it (had to do it about 3 times due to tweaks not working and forcing bootloop).
I've had a look in app caches etc, but can't find anything over 12kb.
I backed up using HTCs built in backup service, as well as performing a titanium backup.
Please help me find where my missing 19gb or so went!

did you have 4.1.2 before installing trickdroid 4.2.2? if so then youll need to wipe the files inside data/media. from 4.2 onwards your files are stored in data/media/0
---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------
or go to CWM, mounts and storage, wipe data/ data/media. youll have to set the phone up again

Thank you! Managed to clean up over 13gb! Are there any other folders that I can get rid of?

You could try installing something like SD Maid or Clean Master and see if they can find anything else.
Hello all,
First time poster, and first time ROM flasher, so I would really appreciate some advice on this one!
I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 this afternoon to my S3, and everything was fine until I realised I couldn't access the contents of the internal SD card. Even when plugging it into my laptop via the USB cable, it wasn't being recognised.
One of the instructional videos I followed advised to 'wipe cache and partition' in Clockwork Recovery during the setup process. This must be why this has happened. The free space on the phone is now only 4GB, but the remaining 11GB or so is in limbo.
Can anyone shed some light on this for a total novice?

Thanks, I have downloaded ES, but I don't have /data/media unfortunately. I've looked everywhere... I think I'm screwed. The content shows up fully still in CWR though, weird.
The file manager must be given root permissions and you must navigate UP to the root directory. Up from sdcard

Here's how you get there with latest es.
From main screen...
Menu, tools, root explorer
(Accept root access request)
Press / button to get to "device" then navigate to /data/media

Flashed Paranoid Android a few days ago and ran it for a few days then decided I'd flash back to my stock rooted backup. Everything went fine so I thought but now my sd card doesn't show up right in my apps... Twrp recognizes it like nothings wrong but when in android itself it's like things are saving to some imaginary sdcard... The things I download to flash don't show up in Twrp but when I use ES they show up along with a couple folders but the rest of my actual sdcard isn't accessible within any app... System is still intact and accessible just the sdcard card partition(guessing it's partioned cause this is the first phone I haven't had an extSD)

This is a secondy user partition that's made/created as sdcard0
Everyone' knows about it not really anything new , you have to format a particular section to get whatever u had or want back to your original internal storage.Especially when going from 4.2.2 back .I gave up on caring about it myself
It's a very ignorant and annoying thing that Google came up with it's on all phones with 4.0 or higher now .

So is there an easy fix to get my original storage back visible to my apps? And will it do this with sense 4.2.2 also? Would be great to know how to handle this problem for future flashing purposes... First time I've ever ran into this...

Just copy from data/media over to /sdcard0
Twrp will recognize then

Now that I try and remember I'm not exactly sure on how to do it I believe you can go to sd card 0 and go into each folder and copy and move everything back to SD card once everything is moved just format SD card 0

I may be wrong about this I know there is a way to do it with re partitioning you will just have to ask around and see if there's any one more knowledgeable about this I'm not sure why you have not been getting replies besides mine the problem is you don't want to format it with losing everything in the SD card 0 that is valuable

The thing is that my phone doesn't recognize the regular sdcard when not in recovery so I can't move anything to the original file structure... But if I don't care what's in the new sdcard0 can I just format that and it will restore the original file structure?

And recovery doesn't see the new file structure... So no file management there either...

Just go in Twrp choose wipe choose format type yes
Then hit go ...
It will reformat system ..
If neccesry prior to that put your photos and info on laptop or dropbox before you format the entire system .

One last dumb question... Doing that won't wipe my system etc? Just what was being used as my internal storage? Won't need to install a Rom or anything after? And dude thanks a lot you seem to be the only one willing to help me out... Much appreciated...

HTC is strange and iffy and when it comes to finiking with the sealed storage , these phones with no external sd can put you in a mess if you don't do things right .
I've formated system data once to erase my phone to resell...
What you need to do is get the stuff off the phone to a safe flash drive or pc... I can't gsurentee what you'll use cause formatting is formatting, don't do it if you don't feel safe .
Note, if you are ever to format or wipe reset your device And get ready to choose reboot system and it says
No OS Installed STOPPPPP!!
REVERSE Do not continue to reboot system .
This means there is literally no os system to reboot to no bootloader and if u reboot your bricked .
As long and there's a custom recovery you can always adb sideload a Rom from pc to phone to flash it and get a Rom back on if you ever experience issues.
That was all just a word to the wise !!!
All I cam further suggest is to backup transfer data pics etc.... To a pc then format system
You phone will be all fresh after that .
Do way you feel, or get opinions first , just don't loose precious info if you format

I've got most of it backed up already because I backed up before I ran moonshine a few days ago... Just iffy on formatting cause I don't wanna be stuck without a OS loaded on the device... Do you think it would fix itself if I just flashed a new Rom from scratch? Just want my sense working properly with it reading the right sdcard info...

So if I wipe/format could I just restore my nandroid of my stock rooted if the OS gets wiped?
