I just upgraded to Bell's 2.2.2 OTA and now I need to root but I am not sure how... Gingerbreak requires a formatted SD card and i only have one and its in the atrix and has tons of stuff on it!
Any root method where I dont have to erase the SD?
Why not just back up all your files to your pc? That way you won't lose any data. I always back my files up anyway just in case.

Just unmount the internal storage and the SD card before running Gingerbreak.

I know, when I tried to refresh the page I guess I wasnt connected to the internet and it reloaded the old page - so I thought no one had replied
Sorry to bring this painful memory up, but Gingerbreak needed a formatted SD card?! I've used it in the past with my SD card (both internal and external) filled with all sorts of stuff, and it still work (albeit it was a bit slower and took a few tries). And rule of thumb for anything relating to upgrading or the internal/external SD slots: BACK UP. It's so vital to do this, cause in the case that something happens, poof. =[ But good luck with the rooting!

Well I read in the Gingerbreak thread that you needed a formatted SD card
I ran some data recovery software and got recovered many things that were erased!
Thanks everyone
how do i switch the interal sd card(emmc) to external sd card(sdcard) back to normal? currently its ext sdcard(emmc) and internal(sd card)...i believe thats the reason why my external files arent visible on my phone because my phones external sd card is emmc (took out my microsd and in cwm said cant mount emmc) and my internal sd is sd card aka ext sd. if that makes sense... is that better that way with the vibrant? is it rom related? i do know its been like that since i switched to miui. im running docs ics v12 now. is there a way to create a path to the ext card(mounted as emmc) on the sd card root path? so if my internal sd is set to be extsd it thinks its its saving on the extsd but isnt so it wont have a external sd path? and my external is set to be internal so i cant save anything on it with my phone though i wonder if when i flash a rom those files are saved to my ext.. so if i were to format my emmc (extsd) would that mess my phone. f-it im about to try it now lol.. formated, done, reboot... well i dont think it hurt anything and i know my extsd is completly wiped now but im still stuck with the problem on not being able to transer anything from my internal sd to extsd because there is no path for it in the file browser, i dont really want to go through the trouble of backing up my internal sd card, formatting that hoping it doest brick my phone like ive read b4, putting what files i want back on it, just to be stuck with same problem an hour later. seems like there are many post on this but ive yet to find an easy solution. i know someone has had to of come up with a fix for this... thanks
I'm running with internal sdcard only, but used to use external. Cyanogenmod handles both fine. I tried AOKP build 35 and had no sdcard, and tricks I tried with symlinks or mount -bind had no effect. So one fix is to find a good rom. There may be other ways around it.
I flashed aokp build 36 a few days ago and my internal and SD was switched too. I found this file posted by Mr. Physco and flashed my memory back to normal. I'll try to find link and repost

so does anyone know of a good ics ROM that supports both sd cards? Last ROM I used that supported both sd cards I think was bionix v. I guess it's really not that big of deal since I can stream my music with google music, but I would like to use the empty 16GB memory card I have in my phone for game data or movies. So Akop build 36 has a fix for that? I'll have to check it out, thanks

Try CM9. That one supported both my SD's (Galaxy Player 5.0). But, beware of directory changes. The external SD is now under "mnnt/emmc/".
My phone says that I have 19.09gb available. It has 9.97gb being used up by other. Can someone tell me what this "Other" is referring too? I just recently flashed the deodex stock 4.2.2 rom and the only other thing on my phone is some photos and videos that take up 2.41gb.
is the files you put on your phone that are not in folders like rom.zips mods

As i said, pull all your files off the sd card and wipe it, put the rom on your sd card using adb while in recovery, wipe data, flash, and then put everything back on.

I am using TWRP, what is the reasoning that it didnt wipe everything when I wipe it after the install? Also what all do I need to wipe, there isnt an sdcard option using TWRP, only thing is see is " dalvik cache, cache, data, system, usb-otg". Also is there anyplace on the phone memory that is safe from being wiped?
It has to do with the partitions of the sd card being changed in 4.2.2 allowing for multi user support. Do as I suggested, pull all files off and then in that menu if you click data I believe that will wipe your sd since everything is stored in that folder. A regular factory reset just skips over the virtual sd card.

I only want to keep the contents that are in my DCIM folder, so that is the only folder that I need to pull correct?
Also could I not just go to a certain directory and delete out the stuff without having to reflash everything?

If that's all you want to keep then yes. And no you need to re flash in order for the sd card to be set up correctly.

If this is true, couldn't one just remove the symlinks and fix the issue? I have the same issue but I'm not sure i feel like all the trouble just to get back a few gigs.

They are symlinks, don't remove them it will break things. Besides they are recreated on boot.
Wiping your phone and SD partition and starting from scratch doesn't solve the issue of almost 10gigs taken up and not knowing what it is. The stock rom itself surly isn't 10 gigs, we all know that for a fact. I just did a complete wipe of everything on my phone, and I'm still short 10 gigs. I paid for a 32 gig phone under the impression that I was getting 32 gigs of SD space for my personal use. Not 10 of it being used in some "other" category. HTC really dropped the ball on this. Just when you buy a phone with removable SD, advertised as 32 gigs, you GET that 32....well minus a gig or 2 for drivers for the card, but system files are stored on their own partition on the phone itself while you have full use of the SD card. When i go through file explorer, I see 2-3 different paths to get to the same point on my SD car which makes no dang sense to me. And I've been tempted to delete them but I'm afraid to do so. I've tried moving them and they end up coming back..obviously, after a reboot. There should be one path from the root of the system files to get to SD, not 3. On my phone, I've got SD, MMT, and storage, and all of them lead to the same end point, some with a few more stops along the way than others. HTC really dropped the ball when it comes to the user ability over storage management, and what they advertised vs what they provide in terms of storage capacity in this device. Would I return it? hell no. i love this phone despite this flaw. Would i go for it again knowing what I know now... honestly I'm unsure. I'd probably save up a little more and go for the 64 gig..be a little miffed over losing 10 gigs, but at least I'd know I still have plenty of space left as opposed to now. I take lots of pics of my family and i love music, so this is my MP3 Player as well. Not to mention any backups I do of the system and what not
Side note, I in fact asked this question when i first bought the phone when it made it's US debut, and got all sorts of off the wall answers.

Hey everyone,
I just got a Verizon Galaxy S4 and have been playing around with rooting and ROMS. I just did a clean restore to factory settings, but it shows I only have 3GB of space available. Misc files is using 6.57gb, downloads 116kb, audio 152kb, pictures 5mb, and application 349mb. It seems like I am missing 8gb. Any ideas of what I should do?
Thanks,

Hey everyone,
I fixed the problem. I flashed to a stock Verizon S4 image, then did a factory reset. I had done one or the other, but not both. I guess this raises the question, why am I losing 6GB of space when I root my phone?
Thanks again,

Do you have a custom recovery? If so, when you make a backup with CWM it will be several gigs and will be in a hidden directory. I had the same issue with only one backup of the stock rom. I had to place my backups on the external card and now I have a few more gigs on the internal card. Remember that CWM will not work on an external card over 32 gig. I had to sell my 64 and buy a 32 for that reason.

Thanks for getting back to me skiddingus. I have a 32GB SD card coming in the mail today, so hopefully there wont be anymore issues with storage. I do have a couple questions before I do this, though.
1. I see some people using CWM and others using TWRP. Are there any advantages to one or the other. or is it just a matter of preference?
2. When I make a backup or install a new ROM using either CWM or TWRP, are there specific options I should be selecting to backup or install a new ROM to my SD card?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi skiddingus,
Any chance you could share your method for navigating to/accessing that hidden directory? I made backups and now my phone memory is almost all chewed up. I also did a backup (or two if the chunk of memory that's been eaten up is any indication) on the SD Card and would like to clear up that space as well.
I've been using TWRP for a while now, but unless it's been changed, all CWM backups were stored under a directory called Clockworkmod."

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. I was able to find that one, seemed the logical place for CWM backups to live, and I erased the contents after making sure I had a reserve copy on my laptop and a stock backup as well. However, I'm still seeing an abundance of used space and no explanation for where it's gone just by looking at the directory names. I do recognize that "miscellaneous files" is also where "System Memory" lies, taking up just under 6.4 Gb.
Any other thoughts?
See attached pic for reference.

I never did find the directory that CWM stores the backups. On Android 4.2 and up I believe it stores them in a secure hidden directory. I used the applications to delete the backups. I installed ROMmanager and used its "manage backups" option to clear my CWM backups. I used TWRP to clear its backups as well. I currently use CWM for my backups and I backup to and external sd card (32gb or less of course). My internal card has neary 7gb free and shows a total space of 9.62Gb. I have almost 2gb of apps.

Hey Andrx,
UNtil Skiddingus gets back to you, I can offer some semi-n00b impressions:
1. I've used both CWM and TWRP through my process of backing up the stock system, rooting, flashing Synergy ROM, and then de-bloating, and I can say that from a purely subjective perspective, I prefer TWRP. Mostly bc of the GUI - it's a little easier to navigate IMO. From what I understand, they basically do the same thing when it comes to recovery and flashing. I'm sure there are some technical differences that more experienced users can explain, but for a base user like me, TWRP seems to take care of my needs
2. AFAIK, If you're using TWRP, the partitions that are preselected when you choose the "Backup" tab - Boot, System, and Data - are all you need to choose for a backup of your current system. However, I think you may be either using the terms incorrectly or have an incorrect impression of how to flash a ROM. From what I understand, a custom ROM is not flashed (installed) to your SD card. You can designate your SD card as a place to store your backups of said roms or your stock ROM, but flashing a ROM sends that to your phone's internal storage to take up space in "System Memory".
Hope this helps clarify a bit, and my apologies in advance if I've botched any of this explanation. Senior members, please correct anythign I've said that may lead Andrx astray.
Cheers!

So!! Using TWRP, I chose: "Advanced" --> "File Manager" and then navigate to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/xxxxweirddaterangexxx
Then press "Select" (from within the "xxxweirddaterangexxx" directory) and deleted an un-needed backup file that seemed to be almost 3GB in size.
REMEMBER TO STORE YOUR BACKUP ELSEWHERE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP A COPY.
Once I did this, my phone storage showed 7.1 GB available, whereas before it showed 4.3. W00t.
Thanks again for your help skiddingus!!

Yes there is. I have a SanDisk 64gb micro SD card and when I purchased it for my note 2 I had the same problem. What I did is format it to fat32 instead of ex fat using ease us partition the free version here's the link

Store/install the Games/apps files on the larger part of the memory (IE. SD Card) and have them run from that location.
I know the system apps can't be moved but almost any game or app can be.
I was once able to move them freely but I screwed up my phone and ended up whipping it and starting from scratch. :crying:

Dude... The whole purpose of people moving apps from internal phone storage to an SD Card is to free up space on the internal storage... by moving them to an EXTERNAL SD card (ie removable)
Since these phones don't have an external SD, all you're doing is moving your apps from internal storage to (drum roll please...) Internal Storage!!!
So basically... you're moving an app from the "Program Folders" area to... well... anywhere BUT that folder, but keeping it on the same hard drive. Make sense?

Apparently I am not getting my point across this is the HTC One X+ section right...
There are two sections on the solid state "hard drive" one is referred to as the SD Card which is allocated 50+ gigs the other section is system storage which is only allocated 2+/- Gigs.
Now I want games/apps to install to the SD card section not the system section which it dose by default.
I know this can be done as I mentioned previously I had it configured to do this but I can't remember how nor can I find anything (apps/tutorials) that will get me back to said configuration.
I hope this is a bit clearer.

No mate it doesn't. Unless your rooted you don't even have write access to /system/.
All apps and data will go on the /data/ partition. The "mock" SD card is located in /data/media/ or /data/media/0 which is just a folder on the main /data/ partition.

No mate it doesn't. Unless your rooted you don't even have write access to /system/.

Sounds like you've done something to your internal storage. Try wiping /cache/

Try going to /data/apps/ and checking if you will find white files that end with .odex
Apps that have that will most probably be the ones affected by that error. The .odex file is created if you have "lucky patcher" installed . If you do not have this app or haven't found any odex files then ignore what I just said.
ANY apps literally ANY apps? Going to Settings > Storage , are you sure its not filled?

Try to wipe all including the data and do factory reset.You are using TWRP right? then goto advance sideload and then adb sideload the rom which u want ... from command prompt.. what you are saying is really not possible....may be you did mess up ur partition since we dont have any physical SD card slot there is just plain 64GB of which 51~55 is usable....Goodluck

I removed the two odex files I found but yet again it made no difference.
I have over 50gigs of free space.
When I screwd up my phone I did a factory wipe and even relocked then unlocked the boot loader literally started from scratch so there should be no issues.

If you asked me its a faulty rom that have no management over app installation. If its a stock rom then yeah factory reset is required.. But its a strange issue nontheless. So its fixed now when doing factory wipe?

I have not done a factory wipe and that is my last resort I had this issue before but I managed to find a fix for it.

when I did the wipe I cleared everything and went back to the Tellus stock RUU (lost all my pictures in the processes dam dropbox) and started over from there.
the first time I changed to the ViperXL+ OS I had the same issue unfortunately I can't remember how I managed to fix it I thought I used Rom Toolbox to set where apps/games installed by default but it says I have to be updated to 2.2+ and I'm only on 2.0.0
So I'm feeling like quit the Dumb A$$ I figured it out after my last post all I had to do in Rom Toolbox is change it from SD card as primary to internal storage as primary and now I can update/Install more apps
Thanks for the help
