Hello,
Yesterday I finally decided to flash CM 10.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), but now there's only 2gb of free storage available. I cannot see all the stuff I had on my internal SD before flashing it, but it's still there because when I tried to reinstall CM 10.2, I saw all the folders on my phone. Also in Windows File Explorer it doesn't show everything on it. So basically that means they are hidden, right? It's annoying, because all my music is on the internal sd (yes, I've made a back-up of it), but I can't listen to it etc.
How can I fix this? Please help.:fingers-crossed:
Kind regards,
UDO16

Hi all, need help with my sdcard not appearing in cm10 ...
I was on the 0815 build and everything was working fine, then i wanted to mount a ntfs drive to my sgs2 via otg cable.. plugged it and got no response, so i thought it must be the fact that the usb is formated in ntfs format... a quick google got me to the app NTFS MOUNTER n i installed it..
After installing it, i notice i still cant access my ntfs usb and so i uninstalled the app.. then i saw that build 0820 is out, so i downloaded it, made cwm backup n installed it... the next morning i noticed tt in my jellybean, my external micro sd does not appear in my gallery or settings-storage.. but when i rebooted to Recovery i can still access the ext sdcard...
Tried to do recovery from a backup i made 0812 but i get the message: ERROR WHILE RESTORING /SYSTEM! message tried other cm10 backups n i keep getting the same message ...
Tried to do clean install (factory reset, install cm10 zip, install gapps, factory wipe) and i still cant access my external sd..
The only way i can my ext sd to work is to restore to my latest cm9 backup... it works just fine, but if i install cm10 afterwards (factory reset, install cm10 zip, install gapps, factory wipe), the ext sd remains invisible to my cm10, be it 0815 or 0820 build..
Tried googling it but cant seem to find any answer w regards to this.. can someone pls help..
Thanks you so very very much!
just download 0821 and give it a try.

If you are talking about normal FAT32 external SD /MicroSD card inserted in your phone, then it is mounted in:
/storage/sdcard1
just use a file manager to access it.
if you can find it there then it will be easier to to find your gallery files
hi all,
thank you for your replies.
But i think you got it wrong, it's not that the media files are not loading in GALLERY or that i cannot find my way in using file explorer apps, but the phone itself seems to not be mounting my sdcard...
Settings -> Storage will only show Internal Storage (1.97 GB) and Internal Storage (11.50 GB)
The Sdcard section is just blank... whileas if i restore to CM9, Sdcard exists (29.32GB) n is accessible from gallery or any file explorer...
HELP
Hmm.... did you try formatting /system from recovery, clean wipe, then flash latest CM10? Might help...

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the help given to me so generously!
Finally figured out the problem...
Current SD card: CM9 can access, CM10 cannot
Tried another SD card: CM9 can access, CM10 can access
So apparently i found out that there was some corrupted data in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/gc./
with the directory containing 8 files which names contain gibberish ascii symbols and they were simply unerasable and the /gc./ directory itself was unerasable
Backed up the data in the sdcard and formated it and voila! Problem solved!!
Thanks again everyone!
So glad to be back at CM10 and to know that when CM10 is fully polished, i will have no problems using it...

hi, okay so i have almost the identical problem, i believe that i have corrupted files on my external drive (Patriot 16GB, FAT32) because i also have a clockwork mod backup, a data folder for titanium backup, the superuser zip and a LOST.DIR folder.
i would just delete everything or try to format it, but somehow the SD is now recognized as "read only" in any computer and my phone won't recognize it at all, even after trying "remount sd" apps on the phone. Suggestions? Im totally at a loss and dont have the money to spend on a new external.. thank you!! =]

I'm having the same problem. Have you figured out what was causing the problems?
I'm not too sure,but being unable to detect the external sd card is a common issue amongst most aokp ROMs I've used.
As for your internal memory being used up, I had the same doubt and then realised it was mainly because of my backups. Each one was ~900Mb so that ate up most of my internal memory. Delete any redundant backups from the clockworkmod folder if thats your problem

Installing a secondary ROM takes up about 2GB of your internal memory, if that's what you're talking about. Anything more than that could be your backups..or something I'm not aware of.

Just to update my original post...
I appeared to lose my internal SD when I upgraded to CM9 RC2. Didn't bother me since I had external SD still.
When I updated to a CM10 nightly, I lost my external SD card as well.
The way that i fixed it was by going back to CM9 RC1. When I loaded that ROM the media scanner informed me that the SD cards were corrupt and reformatted it from me. After that I reinstalled CM10 and it recognises both
I had reformatted my ext. SD card using my computer before, but that hadn't fixed the problem. It would seem that my media scanner (in CM10) wasn't recognising the ext. SD or the internal and thus not reformatting it....
Not sure if this helps, I'm not as versed in the workings of android as many people are on here... What I did above fixed my problem though, so perhaps it might be of help to someone else.
Check out the thread for your rom. Some one else before you, has probably already asked about your problem and got an answer

I searched all over and couldn't find a thread that answered this, so I'm sorry if there is. I just couldn't find it.
So, I have a Galaxy S2 i9100 International with the stock 16GB internal storage. I'm moving from SuperNexus Android 4.1 Jellybean to the latest nightly build of Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2 Jellybean.
My question is: Will the data (music, pictures, etc.) be deleted from the internal storage after I do a full wipe on my device with ClockworkMod Recovery?
I haven't flashed a ROM in a long time so I don't remember the answer to this...
Thanks!
This depends on if you have them stored in default folders. ie if your referring to your camera pics then yes I think that folder is cleaned.
External card and custom folders/files on internal wont be touched by wipe.
Just move your DCIM (Camera) folder to external and it will be fine.

Hello all!
I think i'm stuck with PacMan ROM. I've flashed it from 4.1.2 to 4.3. I absolutely love latest CM version and stuff , but here is a problem. I cannot write to my internal storage anything! I can't even access it from computer (Windows). So, what is left now is buying a SD card (but I do not need it for my usage and stuff). Is there anyway way to fix that problem with internal storage?

Solved my problem by formatting the partitions with CWM and doing a fresh install of rom.

Which PAC rom you flash on your phone? Maybe that rom disable internal sdcard emulate. If so, you cannot use many features if no sdcard in your phone. You can try to load new PAC rom from their website http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/p760/release/

You must have sdcard to use that rom. Maybe you can request rom developer to add new kernel for phone that has no sdcard.
Hello,
I have a problem with the internal SD-Card of my Galaxy S2 in CyanFox 2.0.
When i want to use a application that access the internal SD-Card (for example the Camera), it says: "Please insert sd card."
In settings i can still see the card. There was a thread with a fix for the Galaxy S, can i use it with the S2. If not, what can i do?

P.S: However, to receive support on some ROMs you'll ask in the thread in question, so as not to create confusion in this section.

I would write in the main thread but I can´t cause i dont written enough posts...
What I have to say too ist that when i flash stock rom again the error still is there. Yes, I mean the 16GB internal memory.
I repeat: what do you mean with Internal SD-card? The main memory of the phone? ( of 16GB)?

I do not know what to tell you. If you happened even before then there isn't a problem of CyanFox.
Try to format the memory, nothing you can do more.

Formatting to default worked, thanks. Maybe it would be a good idea to add automatic formatting to the flashable zip of the rom so this error can´t come?
Has always been the ultimate solution to this type of problem, since you delete all the files (or almost). However, I am happy that everything has resolved
