S2 not showing internal storage - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, plz tell me how to fix this. my s2 not accessing internal storage both from file manager and from pc. but it shows in recovery. currently am on carbon 4.3. i tried many file manager but every one shows only external sd card and system ,and internal folder is empty. plz tell me how to fix this. otherwise i should flash it to stock rom.
did complete wipe and cleared cache ,dalvik cache tried other custom rom, Nothing worked
thanks

It does seem like a problem with the ROM to me, but you could try to access it with linux instead of Windows/OSX just to see if that makes a difference. If it were me, since you have already flashed a ROM, try another custom ROM, maybe CM stable to keep it predictable. See if that fixes the problem. Or just re-download your current ROM and re-flash, you never know.

I tried different ROMs but same problem there. In file manager the internal SD card is empty and in recovery there it is.
I even can't open gallery or camera and can't download from browser. It gives error of " no internal SD card".

And also can't use Bluetooth because while receiving files it save it to internal SD card , and give error while receiving files. When there are no internal SD card accessible how it can save it.
And also I used GalaxSim unlock previously to unlock my phone, now it is giving error of sim lock, because the GalaxSim unlock files are save into Internal Memory and it can't be accessible so it giving sim lock error.

So in recovery you can see the internal storage but nowhere else? And you tried CM stable?

The files are stored on internal storage. You don't need wipe this storage.

You can wipe sdcard storage external from rom or recovery. Usb storage is your internal sdcard.

Just go to settings/storage and check. Usb storage is your internal memory, I think.

[Q] HyDrOG3N-ICS - full internal memory

Hey folks,
got a little problem with the latest HyDrOG3N-ICS
When I go into the camera app, a toast says "Your SD card is full" ... well and this is simply not true
I read somewhere I should format the internal SD card ... whatever that means, but I can find it in CWM.
Is there anything I have to do before or after that ... besides making a backup somewhere else than on my internal memory ?
Hey I have the same problem I cannot take photos, does anyone have a fix? Sorry I'm a massive noob, tried to search but found nothing

Install ES FILE EXPLORER and explore all of the folders in external and internal sd card, you will get to know how much space is being consumed. If its just a camera problem, switch to "ICS Camera+" app and then try.,

Hello,
If you like someone to help you, you must provide clear description of your problem - just precisely describe step by step what you did using understandable English.
For example what does it mean?:
"transferred my sd card" - what card (internal, external) what transfered? All data? or maybe you took out your external card and put to friends phone???
"put a zip" - what zip? containing what?
"my friends app don't work" - what app? etc etc
I think, noone yet answered you because the others are cofused as much as I am. So decribe it better + provide information on what rom/kernal you are, then we will see how to help.
Regards
I had a boot loop problem, cause I changed the boot logo. so I used my friends ext SD card to flash the stock boot logo. my friend had apps on the ext SD card and when he put his card back in his phone some apps mostly games were there but its icon was replaced with a gray icon that said 'SD' and when I launch it it says application not installed. wierd because when I go to manage applications it appears. and thx for the reply

Unfortunately I think that it concerns apps which were installed (moved) to external SD card and after removing SD card from the phone, data on the card could have been broken/corrupted, so that after putting the card back to the phone apps can't be recognized.
I'm not big optimist but you can try:
- move apps back from external sd to internal one (probably not possible)
- Back up the apps - if they are visible by eg. TitaniumBackup
- Unmount, mount again external sd card and reboot the phone
Regards
tried and didn't work. thx anyways m8

It's true, the files have become corrupt. All you can do is uninstall them, and re install.

[Q] How to copy videos, mp3 etc. from pc to external sdcard?

I have this 32gb external sdcard and i want to copy videos, mp3's and other files on it. i tried connecting my device to my pc and start to copy files to my phone's external sd (sdcard1), error displays "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". i also tried root explorer but error says "Copy failed".
I can transfer files to my device internal memory (sdcard) without problems but i don't want to put the files there because the storage might get full. I also tried sdcard fix from playstore but it won't do it.
btw, I have a rooted phone with dual recovery, fw 23.0.1.A.167. i hope someone can help me on this...
Try to format the sdcard in your phone, maybe it solve the problem
Send from heaven...
Type this commands in adb:
adb push example.mp3 /data/media/0/
And open file manager on your phone/tablet, move example.mp3 from sdcard to ext. sd

Me too faced the same problem a few days ago when i updated my phone to the same firmware, i tried everything but nothing worked, then after trying all the things which i found, i tried changing the card and it worked! Then i put my card in other phone, it didn't work there too!
Result: my card somehow became read-only! I could read the files which were already on it but i was not able to write or delete something. Got it replaced under warranty, everything is fine now.
Wish you luck with your card!
