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...

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?

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

Hello.
I just put new Kernal and MIUI ROM
B-U-T, I know am in file manager and notices there are tons of folders and files on my device (including photos, music and what not).
How do I clean everything out (except for the needed files)?
Would like to clean every unnecessary bit
THANKS
Factory reset

In fact, i would suggest going into recovery and wiping sdcard and reflashing miui and kernel
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
But this does not delete certain data. For example, the photos that I took are still there after the factory reset, wipe catch and re-flashing the ROM.
Also, there's lots of leftover data in many files and folders from previous ROMs - like CynogenMod and so on.
In essence, I am asking if I can FORMAT the phone completely.

Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.

Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

hi all can somebody direct me to modding the sgs3 as i am doing it for a friend need some steps like do i have to unlock bootloader before i root and stuff i am using hox so new to sgs3
Galaxy S3 has an unlocked bootloader, use CF-root to root it. The GS3 also uses a flash counter, if you root or flash a custom rom it will trip the flash counter, and unless it's reset with triangle away even if you reflash stock you may not be able to claim warranty.
Check out the development section for some mods (there is also a sticky in the general with some mods, and roms.)
No, Sammy bootloaders aren't locked (except verizons b*stard child S3)
Flash cf-root 6.4 via odin and you are rooted and have recovery.

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.

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.

So I have searched and searched and cannot get a definitive answer. I am currently using CWM as my recovery. I go to flash a new ROM and wipe like I used to. ONLY thing is that wiping doesn't actually wipe. What I mean is things in the down load folder or random folders not on my sd card are still there. This would all get wiped before but ive had this problem since getting the S4. Ive had some root problems before so I had to unroot and reroot so everything was wiped. Now I have been running smoothly without needed to odin back to stock.
What am I doing wrong or what could be the problem. I want to wipe the whole device except external sd card. In CWM I usually select the factory reset wipe, partition, and dalvik. Should I be doing something different?

Your download folder shouldn't get wiped on a factory data reset.
What partition are you choosing? Sorry i didn't use cwm, and i lost custom recovery with a warranty replacement, but sounds like you are maybe not choosing your internal.
Also why do you need the sd card wiped? As long as your app data isn't carrying over you should be fine switching roms.
Also twrp worked for this so really you could just switch.

I had some very bad experiences with TWRP on this device. Never on any other device. I prefer TWRP. I should try the taking out the sd card and wiping everything. Thanks I just odin'd back to stock and rooted. I was getting memory notifocations and random stuff. I am going to try TWRP I know its been updated since I had the problems.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Memory notifications are common in this device, many times inaccurate on touchwiz. They're more about the allocated space for apps and not internal total. Next time check your storage tab in settings, of you're not out of free space on the sd card but still get warnings then wiping that partition won't help.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I was getting low. It had been a while since rooting so I had loads of unwanted folders (temp stuff) and stuff from other roms. I was down to 1.3GB.The notifications are fine except certain apps or games were starting to not work properly. I literally had to scroll through about 4 pages of folders in my sdcard0 folder. Now that ive rerooted I have about a page and a half. I now have 8.78GB free space.
Edit: after rerooting I wasnt able to get TWRP. In Goomanager I kept getting "no recoveries were found for your device". So I am still on CWM.

Same thing happened to me on my old gnex loading kitkat, think goo.im was having problems. I ended up loading cwm too as it was flashable.
Understand what you mean some rom makers have locked folders. I never had much of a problem but I didn't switch off hyperdrive much.

Yeah I always get tempted with AOSP ROMs so I flash them and then can't use it for one thing or another (camera, network speeds, etc.) And revert to Hyperdrive.
