Hi guys
I have searched high and low for a solution for this, but no body seems to be having the same problems as me!
Basically, whenever I flash a kitkat rom, with the correct recovery etc. (cwm 6.0.4.5) It all works fine, except the recovery and rom cannot find my internal storage. I cant use camera or download anything, due to the "Insert SD card" error.
Is it something that I may be doing wrong? I thought i may need to format it, but when in the cwm 6.0.4.5 / kitkat rom, I cant find it on the phone to format it, and when I connect to the computer (IMac) via usb storage, only my external storage shows up. It works fine with cyanogenmod 9 though. I am rooted, running cm 9 4.0.4 (ICS) with cwm v6.0.1.2.
Any help to get past this would be much appreciated.
Best regards,

The Mac has difficulties to read most of the devices and I know it because I have one also i (model Early 2009). Try to format the internal memory and tell me that ROM uses in particular.

Hi all,
I just installed Auxora 2.3.1.0, and everything is functioning fine with the phone except for the fact that the phone doesn't recognize that any storage is present on the phone. Under settings > SD and phone storage it says "Unavailable" for both SD and phone storage where it would normally show how much space is available.
Any idea how to fix this?
Not quite sure if I'm posting this in the right place... I would have asked it in the thread where I downloaded the ROM but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
Thanks in advance
i know 2.2.1 rom had a sd problem for me and i was on 2.2.1 port but from there i flashed another kernel over (deAD hourse) and it solved my problem
I would try that, but I have no way of flashing a new kernel because I can't put anything on the internal storage because the phone can't access it..
I'm now able to successfully mount the SD to USB while I'm in recovery mode so I can transfer files onto the SD, but no matter what I am unable to get the phone to recognize either the internal or external SDs unless I'm using stock 2.1 update-1...
Anybody have a solution to this?
This problem is getting ridiculous for me... the phone won't recognize the phone storage or sd card on any kernel or ROM other than stock 2.1. I've tried Bionix, Auxura, and just finished flashing Deodexed_KA7 one of these that will allow me to use my phones storage is 2.1.
I also tried applying the fix found in this thread, and it didn't work.
Anybody have any ideas on how I can get fix this??? I really don't want to be stuck with stock 2.1 anymore
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.
Hi,
I have not long bought my first tablet - its an ly-f1 / alldro speed etc clone. It came with android 4.0.4 and was already rooted. Play store access isn't bad for standard, i have found most things i have looked for, although some say device is not compatible - for example the speedtest.net app and itv player. There's some it cant find either like grand theft auto 3 for example.
The performance for the tablet is ok but i understand a custom rom could improve it and also give better play store access/compatibility. So i started looking at what roms were available, i found troys CM9 and CM10, so wanted to try CM9 first. This is where i started running into problems. Mainly finding everything i needed - CMW, ADB drivers etc.. oh and mounting the sdcard! as below..
I managed to find CMW 6 for the ly-f1, which i copied across onto the tablet and ran using a shell to install it. I copied across the CM9, compatibility and gapps zip files to the internal sdcard. So far so good, however......
when i rebooted into CMW and went to "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from internal sdcard" it comes up saying "cant mount /emmc/"
If i try "choose zip from sdcard" rather than internal sdcard, it says "cant mount /sdcard" - to be expected as i dont have one in it! but i cant figure out why the internal one doesn't work and the whole thing is doing my head in! so need help!
When the tablet is on i can get into the internal sdcard fine and if i connect it to the pc i can see it fine. I've looked around google and the forums and tried a few various things with no joy - for example i tried copying everything off the internal sdcard and formatting it - done this through the android setttings and through windows - both fat32 and ntfs just to see, none made any difference.
I then thought i'd try find another version of CMW in case it was that, i found a version 5 which is when i required the ADB drivers as it was a different method for installing it - got it installed and it rebooted into CMW but i had the exact same problem, still cant mount it, so i am still unable to flash to a new rom.
Am i missing something?? I am quite new to all this so not sure if i need to do anything else first or for this to work such as new kernels or something? Is there another method i can use to flash the device? I know theres livesuite but not sure if this is suitable for CM9 since theres 3 zips that need installed? i cant understand why it cant mount the internal sdcard, any ideas??
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks

Can anyone please help? I want to flash CM9 or CM10 as above.
I found a version 5 and 6 of cwm for the ly-f1/clones and installed it, can reboot into recovery but everytime i go to install zip from sdcard it says it cant mount it.
What is the best version of cwm to use and where can i get it? I take it there is no other method to install CM9/10, it must be done using cwm? Do i need to do anything other than simply having a rooted device and installing cwm to get it all to work?
any help much appreciated!
Hi
I have CWM v6.0.1.2 installed on my Xperia Go. The issue is that I am unable to select the zip file from the SD card. The mount point for /sdcard is the internal storage sdcard0. As the phones sdcard mount point is sdcard1. Perhaps this issue as due to the fact that initially i installed CWM without an memory card. Have tried wiping the phones internal memory as well as hard reseting the phone. CWM has been reinstalled many times. Still the same issue persists.
Currenlty running Xperias rooted stock JB 4.1.2 (6.2.A.1.100) with unlocked bootloader.
Would be great to get this sorted out

Hi there mate,
Quick question, hope you can help me. I've also got the same version as you but having the same issue with CWM. Please could you let me know how you managed to install a different version of CWM? Thanks in advance!
update: Was it by any chance this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948455 if so, how did you manage to uninstall the current CWM? Was it with Odin? Currently my ROM manager tells me I'm using version CWM 5.x.x.x but don't think this is right... looking forward to any assistance, thank you!
Kind regards

Ok, I'm guessing it's probably better to just completely wipe this thing, put ICS on and chuck CWM on it that way then flash on jelly bean again? I seem to remember that somewhere being explained (installing CWM without issue via ICS on the Xperia Go) if correct.
I'll wait a couple days more though for anyones feedback on previous asked question, would be nice not to need to wipe it all but...
Thanks.

Hi.
I did something wrong. Very wrong and now i need help from you, the experts.
I've been trying out the new roms (minimalos, cm13, xpe) and once i went in recovery and did a "format "/data". I have no idea why i did that. After that, the phone wouldnt go to os. Tried several things. And now, for example, cwm couldnt show any data. I could flash a new rom but that was all. Tried repitting with I91001GB_4GB.pit or the original one and no difference (heimdall). I had enough of all and i flashed back to stock from sammobile but the problem persists - no data avaliable or internal sd. If i try to take a photo in stock it says "turn off usb storage before using camera".
Mainly, the problem is that i cannot access internal or external storage (well, microsd is accessible via recovery). Nothing shows up in filemanager (stock or cm13) and i cannot use any app that uses storage of anykind (camera, filemanager,...).
Any advice of whats the next step of fixing this back to normal?

Format internal sd card(sdcard0) as default(vfat) from recovery and you should be able to access internal storage again
