Hey all,
Long time lurker here with a new problem finally coming out of my hole to post. Most of you have probably seen the 4.4 Kit Kat build in the developmental section. Well I thought I would give it a try. Flashed it and gapps and no option came up to sync my google account. So I flashed different types of gapps to see if that was the problem, and re-download the rom and flashed it again. I removed everything from my SD card in the case that something went wrong. Well nothing worked so I flashed back to stock then used the overstock rom to root and install CWM and move back to my basic CM build. The problem is that Overstock keeps reporting a problem with my storage. Any suggestions?
EDIT: UPDATE
Flashed back to stock and tried using the dbdata file to help mount. No success, however under settings --> Sd card and storage I formatted the storage and it could be working now. The internal storage notification doesn't come up any more. Will try flashing something when i get home to see if it is fixed.
EDIT: UPDATE UPDATE
Loaded rom onto internal sd odined to overstock kernal and booted it up through there. Problem solved. Hope this helps somebody

i'm on axura 2.1 and went to flash a new rom through clockwork and it says E:Can't open /sdcard/*********.zip (bad)
so i redownloaded the rom, put it on my sdcard, tried again, same thing. i then downloaded a different rom, put it on the sdcard, tried to flash, same thing. any ideas? is it odin time?
Did you save it on the internal card or the removable card? It needs to be on the internal to flash through CW.
it's in the right place. in fact, the axura21ve.zip is still on there and will flash fine, but no new zips will flash, so i'm thinking the fs got corrupted...?
I've had this happen on Axura 2.1 also with the mounting_fix_vibrant SD fix.
I can't copy anything from my PC to my internal SD card since flashing Axura 2.1
i thought that sombionix' sd mount fix was included in this rom. apparently not. which is weird because this issue never affected me in linux with previous roms that didn't have the fix. oh well. flashed the fix and am booting a new rom.
I am also unable to flash a different rom over Axura. Can you help me? I want to go back to Bionix but can't!!!!!
I was on axura 2.1 and changed to 2 new roms.
I an on another rom now, just fine.
I have been getting the android logo with exclamation mark a lot more recently though.
I smell ODIN with repartition checked.

Ive also run into this troublesome problem, even Odin back to JFD stock will not help me get the new roms on, wiped internal sd, external sd, cleared cache and everything. Was able to flash back to JFD and then Fusion 1.2 . Havent tried the repartition setting in Odin but I may have to go that route.. any input from you guys would be great, has anyone fixed this problem yet?
[FIXED]
What I did was odin back to JFD and select the "Re-partition" option, didnt delete any of my data and seems to have corrected the problem installing other roms, try that out.
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, installed amon ra recovery, have flashed a couple different roms. This morning i flashed scott's cleanrom 4.0 booted up everything seemed to be looking fine. However i went to look in my gallery for photos and it just pops up the screen sd card unmounted. So i went to setting storage and clicked mount sd card and it says preparing sd card, but doesnt do anything. So then i looked in the file system. under /sdcard it says sd card empty mounted or unpresent. sdcard2 isnt even a file system (not positive its supposed to be) so basically i only have access to the RAM i think? ive rebooted, factory reset, id try flashing a new rom, but i cant mount the darn cards on the computer to flash a new rom (maybe i could do this from cmd with fastboot or something?) ive thought about trying to format the sd cards but im not sure how to do this especially since the internal one is also having troubles.
I would really appreciate help on this as i cant hardly do anything on this besides texts and phone calls right now!
Thanks for any help

Well, when you say you flashed a couple of roms.. the only rom at the time that would work with the new base was the stock rom that came with the RUU. Scott , then had the first rom with the new base. Using the old roms on the new base caused SD card issues that your describing , but I figured flashing Scott's rom would have fixed it . Easiest fix is if you backed up the stock rom that came with the RUU, if not only thing I can think of is to RUU again and start over. I know Dres is looking into this issue for Amon Ra in case the dev blocks changed , but until he does I would think reflashing RUU is the easiest suggestion.
Problem Solved
Thanks so much! I flashed the latest (that I could find) RUU 3.11.605.1 i got the boot.img and the stock rom out of the RUU and flashed them using fastboot and Amon Ra respectively. When I booted back up the sd cards were properly mounted and everything seems fixed. Thanks again for the quick helpful response!
Now, I still don't exactly understand what I did wrong. So let me try to get some things strait. So the latest RUU is the latest version of the leaked ROM (from HTC?) in question, ICS in our case. So whenever a new RUU is leaked all the developers build new roms on this RUU? and if i say, had been flashing roms from an old RUU, and then flashed a rom from a new RUU (maybe i also forgot to wipe things?) caused problems?
I'd just like to get a better idea of what the problem actually was, and why what i did fixed it. Hopefully someday i won't be so dependent on the great minds here on xda.
Thanks again for everything!
I'm in a similar boat.
I'm in a similar boat. I went straight from stock rooted gingerbread to CleanRom ICS and now I can't get the sd card to mount. CleanROM just kept rebooting over and over. I'm going to try the suggestion by the OP. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
I guess the dev block changed from the old base to the new. Amon ra is already updated. So when you Ruu again and ran the new stock it matched so fixed it. Just don't rum old roms or backups.

Go into my ICS thread or any of the ICS threads and download the patch to run the new build on the old firmware to fix the mounts
I have kind of similar issue. My phone storage and sdcard are swapped. I only rooter and installed AmonRa recovery. I put 9gb of music on my card, but in setting my card looks empty and my phone storage only has 80m left.
Any ideas?
Thanks
what firmware are u on... u probably need to flash the other amonr ra version if you are on 3.14 flash 3.15 or vice versa
Hi all,
I recently rooted my phone so I could install a custom ROM. I´m new with android and also with rooting. After reading a lot of articles about rooting and flashing a custom ROM, I decided to give it a chance. Because the CyanogenMod is very populair, I decided to flash this ROM. I rooted my phone with Odin adding the Siyah Kernel. This worked and I followed the manual on the CyanogenMod Wiki for I9100. I flashed CM10 with ClockworkMod Recovery. Everything went fine and I saw the great interface, which is a lot better than touchwiz.
But I could't use the camera app: No external storage available. A 16GB SD card is inside. It appears CM can't mount the SD. I also saw the internal storage: 1.97GB. But the internal storage has to be a lot more than that.
I might think that it has something to do with the encryption I did within Touchwiz. I haven't decrypted the file system before flashing the ROM...
Anything I can do?
Update: I went back to the stock ROM, and could acces the internal storage and SD card. Then flashed CM10 again, and everything was working well!!

Same Problem here, I update from CM 9 to CM 10 and I can't use Camera and It seemd than there is no internal SDCard

I am too having this issue ever since moving to custom ROMs. Its not the ROM as its happened on RR and RB ROMs.
I find it happens when the phone crashes and needs to be rebooted by holding the power button down.
Sometime after a few restarts I am then able to get the internal storage to mount, other times I need to turn the phone off and leave the battery out for a while but its just happened and nothing I am doing is working.
I really hope someone can help.
Try dori kernel. Should Mount OK custom is either 8.xx or 9.xx
I am using Dori (9.33). Having said that it never used to be as much of a problem when I used to run Siyah.

Try 9.32 I use 8.32 and have swapped ROM this week about 7-8 times and have no problems.
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...
I have one big problem. My S3 have 16gb internal memory. Then I flashed rom (4.3), It shows that 6,3 gb is used. So I realized that I flashed rom (4.3) not over old stock rom (4.1.2) but on that old rom(4.1.2). Then I go to cwm recovery, I selected install zip from sd card and I saw all files from old stock rom, but I put file into new one. So the question is: How I can delete old rom and release about 5 gb of space?
Same problem as mine:I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong or it's something normal.
I had CM9 on my Galaxy s3 and decided to try another rom (Paranoid). I didn't like the new one I installed and downloaded another (Carbon). But I am noticing that my internal storage is close to being full now. But when I browse the phone from my PC, I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
I copied Carbon zip onto the phone, but clockwork mod is not even seeing it, I am noticing a lot of files from the sd and I'm still seeing the Paranoid zip from clockwork mod, but I cannot see it from my PC.
Did I skip a step somewhere? What should I do?

known problem when updating to 4.2 or later due to the revised partition layout. Discussed many many times and answered many many times, there is even a info thread about it

then re-root? or is there anything that keeps you from doing it?
another option would be to do a full wipe or even mega wipe and start fresh, whereas this will delete anything from your phone.
