[Q] Internal memory disappeared - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, hope you are fine.
My phone is SAMSUNG ACE GT-S5830
I tried several ROMs official and non, but it couldnt solve my problem
my story started when i was trying to download unofficial rom via CMW, but suddenly the touch screen started to be weird, it never works perfectly most of the time, AND i found my phone without internal memory, if i am not installing an SD card, when I open "my files" it says:
"your phone does not have SD card inserted"
and i can't take photos for eq without SD card.
i thought that there is something wrong happened to the partitions, i used Cooper_v1.0 several time but nothing solved.
i flashed CWM recovery and i wiped cache partition and i wiped every thing and then flashed a stock ROM but nothing happens.
i feel like if i solved the internal memory problem the touch screen will work again perfectly,
ANY EXPERIENCES OR ANY ADVISES ???
Thanx

(A) Install problem to SD Card

Hi
I have the problem that i cant install some apps or update them.
In the market i get the error while install to SD card.
this issue was not at any app but some.
I Tried recovery from CWM not working.
Clear any Cash Dalvic cache formating sd and external sd card. I get the same error.
I Installed an Original Rom and set Re-Partition but i get the same error with 2.3.6.
I solved my Problem with a pit while flashing 2.3.6 with Odin.
So i used the Original 2.3.6 3 files Version and set the Pit in the Attechmend.
Re-Partition set and the problem was fixed.
After that i installed a custom Kernel with Odin and Installed Omega 1.1 ICS in CWM all my problems are solved.
BUT NOTE YOU LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA
You don't have to loose all your data you just need to back it up properly first
yes but nobody can tell you where the problem come from.
Maybe you backup your problem.

Whats with the attitude? It doesn't matter what problem you have you never have to lose all your data... It takes 30 mins to set up a phone again from stock to being identical to how it was...
with this issue i reinstalled 2.3.6 and have the same issue. clear you can backup but maybe its not working after that.
there are a lot of people woth the same issue. and wipe didnt help!

when you dont have this issue its hard to explain.
Unnecessary post. Deleted.
I have had this problem with any ICS ROM I installed on my SGS II. I thought of simply unmounting the SD Card, try installing the Application or an Update for the Application, it always worked. Yes it does sound like there is too much to do each time you try installing a new app which will fail due to the mounted SD Card. But if the problem is unknown, and flashing a file to solve 1 problems breaks other two functions is a bigger and bitter problem, might as well try this simple solution.
Good Luck
For me it isn't the "sd-install" problem that occoured with cf-root since ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB.
But maybe it's one of the things that caused the problem.
Flashing back gingerbread, even a 5 part FW did NOT solve the problem, so i have a bad feeling about this...
First i thought the file "vold.stab" in folder "etc" that is responsible for the mounting, is just messed up.
But this file SHOULD be overwritten when flashing a 5 part FW... or not?
So i think my hardware is damaged...
But i never had any failure while flashing... the problem just happened suddenly...
Just unmount sd card and install

Please read my previous 2 posts. It's not this problem.
The last resort to force the phone to use the internal card again should be to flash a 5 part official FW while having no external card inserted. But even after that procedure it still don't recognizes the internal card for apps...
It uses the external only. When having no external inserted, i can install apps only to phone storage. It's similiar to the known ICS Beta problem, but with a card swap in addition. And it's permanent. Flashing the Gingerbread FW that was on my phone when i bought it also didn't fix the problem.
Normally it's like this:
Phone storage, about 2GB, path: /mnt, for apps
Internal SD, 11.5GB, path: /mnt/sdcard, for apps and data
External SD, card size, path: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, for data only
For me it's like this now:
Phone storage, about 2GB, path: /mnt, for apps
Internal SD, 11.5GB, path: /mnt/sdcard, FOR DATA ONLY
External SD, card size, path: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, FOR APPS AND DATA
It just happened suddenly about a week ago. And i got several problems related to this.
Sorry. I was in a hurry and Didnt read the post.

Samsung Galaxy ACE 2 external sd problem

Hello
Im here because of my problem with SGA 2.
Few days ago I bought ACE 2 and I found few problems with "external_sd".
So the problems are
1. When I try to create folder it gives me error "Creation failed"
2. When trying to move folder from internal memory to external sd it gives me error like "Moving failed", while copying goes fine.
3. I can move/copy any file to sd card, but sometimes those files got corrupted, gives me error about memory when trying to open pictures, same problem when saved camera saved photo to sd card. Even getting error when trying to play video.
APK files got corrupted too.
4. When I have moved apps to sd card some while apps work great, but after some time cant launch apps because it gives me error about that app doesnt exist.
I tried formatting sd card with pc and android.
Factory reset.
Repartition to same firmware with Odin.
Wipe cache, wipe data.
I dunno what causes those error, bugs, glitches. Is it phone or android sytem?
Maybe need to wait update or something?
Tried many sd card and always got same errors.
But when I mounted mine sd card to another phone it worked perfect.
Mmm try to flash another ROM, someter firmwares hace problema,other possibilitie Is a Hardware. Problem

I know that is silly, but...

[Q] What to do if I lost access to my internal storage as well as sd card

Hi, new guy with english problems here, be gentle
So basically I lost access to any kind of storage on my SGS2 running CM10.1. Here's what happened. I was using internal and sd for a long time, then, as I needed my SDHC elsewhere i removed it. Nothing was lost as all data was stored internally. BUT. After formatting SD in FAT32 and putting it back everything crashed. Apps are refusing to work, demanding an SD card. Files Manager says that folder was lost. All of them. First thing I wanted to do was to flash CM once again, a newer NB but my PC does not read internal storage either, and putting it in sd doesn't do me any good as cwm doesn't see it also. CM can access internal, so i flashed the same version of CM once again - the only one i got there. Nothing changed. I'm a bit lost and seek any advice
U checked if u really format it with Fat32?

Sure. Also I formatted it with SDFormatter, thanks to this CWM can mount it and format by itself, but OS does not respond anyway

U have another phone where u can test if card is readable for an OS?
Maybe it's related to Rom then.. (just an idea)

[Q] Can't Flash a ROM from my EXTERNAL SD card...

Hey guys,
Had a question, i have downloaded several roms to my ext SD card, my phone sees them and everything while i'm in recovery. My problem however, is that when i try to install one of the roms it just freezes up and doesn't move past the psrogress bar. I was running Clockwork recovery, and thats where the problem started, I was curious if i might had disabled something there. I switched to TWRP and still the same thing is happening. I would love to see if anyone has had this issue and if so if someone could help me out. side note i can flash roms just flash roms from my internal memory just fine..
thanks in advance...

Help needed in recovering Internal Memory data!

Hello guys,
I was using DorimanX v 119 10 series along with Slim Saber 08/24 release, then yesterday when the battery was around 18% it turned off randomly.
When I turned it on, I saw I was not getting options for Dual Boot and it took me straight to Primary ROM where it showed a message Internal Memory Damaged, format it on the notification bar.
Tried opening Titanium Backup and other apps to backup but SDCARD0(internal storage) was not mounted anywhere.
Restarted the phone and now its getting stuck on DorimanX logo.
Tried mounting from recovery and doesn't seem to work..
Is there anyway possible to recover my data? There are lots of information and photos that I need in that internal memory
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
had that happen to me more than once on kitkat.
are you able to mount usb in recovery?
tried this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
i went back to my jellybean backup and copied everything over to my computer.
I would be interested to hear how you are doing on this?
I recently had a crash on my S2 with the same version of DorimanX.
Had you repartitioned?
Thanks for your input guys.
@rgomia, the internal memory still shows corrupted and not able to read from it even from Aroma file manager
Actually I tried flashing slimsaber again and I could boot but still the internal memorys not readable from any file manager. Looks like I'll have to repartition it.
Was looking to somehow recover those lost data, but doesn't look like there's a chance
Reformatting worked and everything back to normal, Since I'm gonna get Redmi 1S anyway, I'll stay on slim kernal and use this as a backup phone. 5 years of important data and photos lost in the process :/
If your phone is bootable you should just mount it on your PC and run a file recovery program.
Your pictures are usually stored on your primary SD card.
