Hi everyone,
I have troubles since 4 days with my i9100 (under CM11)
Since 4 days, I cannot access anymore to the internal memory (sdcard0)
My SD Card works (sdcard1). It's even recognized by my computer when I plug my smartphone by USB.
However, the intern card (sdcard0) is not showed anymore when I plug my smartphone by USB to my computer.
I can't access to the Gallery. The message "no external storage available" appears.
With Es File Explorer, for sdcard0, the app shows the following message "SD card unmounted".
However, in the Settings, when I go to Storage, internal storage is recognized… it show only applications, some cached datas and available storage (total space 1,97Gb ; Available 672 Mb).
In the Recovery, I tried "mount /storage/sdcard0" but it shows : "Error mounting /storage/sdcard0 !"
Does the internal storage is down ?
My smartphone is still functional, I can update applications and install new ones, etc. So I have difficulties to think that the internal storage is fully down.
However, I cannot update CyanogenMod with CMUpdater (I tried a restoration of a Nandroid backup but it crashed… probably because of this internal storage problem) which normally writes on sdcard0.
My version of CM is actually 11-20141024-Nightly-i9100 (it was more recent before the restauration which have strangely crashed… but works!)
What can I do ?
Thanks for your help
P.S : I tried many forums (particularly french forums because I'm French… sorry if I made mistakes on my post) but nobody answered me.

Try flashing back to stock rom and see what happens. If it doesnt help, use a pit file to repartition your phone's memory.
I too have the same problem with the internal memory. My s2 is running CM11 right now. And suddenly it have problem with it MMC. Apps like camera, Bluetooth, and downloading files from the Internet seem impossible to receive any file coz I set it stored in the MMC.. Then I checked the setting > storage, the memory card was there. It detects it's total memory. My internal memory however have shrank to total of 1.6 GB with free memory 300 MB. Are you using i9100G? Have you restore the stock?

Hi, thanks for your help. What do you mean by "pit file" ? Is there a tutorial somewhere for this operation ?
I really don't think that going back to a stock rom will change anything. It can't be a problem with CM. It's installed on my smartphone since one or two years and I never had any problem.
I've flashed with the recent Omni ROM but it seems that doesn't help at all

I've found the solution. Under the setting > storage. There are two section, internal and SD card. Choose the option to erase SD card on the internal memory.

Scroll down until you see a file named 'stock 2gb' then download that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947 Pit files provide information so that you can repartition your phone just incase the worst happens to your phones. It can be used for your problem too. Then, in odin, locate the pit file for the pit selection then tick repartition, oh, btw, make sure you have stock rom with you so you will need to flash back to stock rom by selecting the files under the respective categories. Once that's all done, you can start flashing.

That could work too. But my method better! Doing this will not properly format the internal sd card while my method formats the internal sd card.
Sry.. It's my mistake that I am not giving the full details of the situation. I just realize that for the apps partition, it is set by 2 GB by default. What am I experienced was the SD section for internal memory gone missing. I tried by erasing the SD card. Anyhow, it has been Ok for a while. I'll try to repartition by using your method. Seems that 2 GB is very easy to full

Ok, I just found a solution for my problem, and without formatting anything.
For those who have this problem, you can try it, there are no risk in theory.
I plugged my Android smartphone on my PC.
I went into the Recovery and choose the 'Mount and storage' menu.
Here, I used the 'Mount USB Storage' option. My PC started to recognize the smartphone and I was able to access to my 2memories (sdcard0 and sdcard1).
I made a right click on the sdcard0 and in the 'tools' menu and choose to perform a basic scandisk...
It found errors and correct them.
After that, i made a reboot and my memory was back.
Thank you gsstudios for your help. My solution is not academic (using Windows to repair my smartphone) but it worked !

Ah, so it was a problem with the file system of your sd card, glad that your problem was resolved.
I had the same problem and using the Erase SD card option in the Storage menu worked for me!
Luckily I had already made a complete back-up recently so only a few new files were lost. If I hadn't though, I would have kept looking for a better solution.
Thanks!
Sorry, what do you mean "went to recovery mode?" Means recovery mode in phone (volume up+home+power) or somewhere or an app in pc?

had the "USB storage damaged" error occur 2 days ago on my SGS2 for absolutely no reason... unfortunately, several restarts later it still doesn't work... i would like to try the windows error checking method on my phone cos i've seen that it has solved the problem for many without sacrificing stored data but unfortunately my phone has not been rooted... and not having access to my internal storage means i can't copy the files needed for rooting... or can i?
if there's an alternative rooting method not requiring access to internal storage/SD i'd really appreciate your help!
cheers
hey there,
do you usualy use your device as MTP (default) or did you give the USB mass storage mode a try?
Did try mass storage. Two storage devices are visible but neither are accessible. Figured rooting and recovery is best option if rooting is still achievable under these circumstances

hmmm, do you have an SD card (/external_sdcard) in your device, you could copy the stuff from your internal memory with a file browser on your device and then try a factory reset ...

I cannot see how rooting can fix a problem .Though i suppose you could root and make a nandroid backup of drive which may be blank or try mounting the drives via recovery .
Factory reset may fix but will wipe data .

I do have an external SD card but it doesn't detect that either. SD card works fine in other devices. I've tried using ES file explorer but to no avail. And when i try accessing the gallery it says SD card mounted as mass storage.
Yeah i plan to root and conduct a windows error check in recovery mode cos i've seen it work for others.
Factory reset is my last resort.

Flash the appropriate Cf-root kernal to root through Odin then follow below.
If you have CWM recovery, just go to mounts and storage, mount sdcard (or USB storage, whichever), copy files, reboot phone, format and recopy files back.

Same problem. USB damaged Samsung galaxy S2
I am having the same issue as all of you. The only thing is, my computer can't see my phone connected to it. I have tried formatting it but it doens't allow it via the phone... I have been with my phone like this for 2 months now... I really want to get it working. The phone does not access the external at all. I am so frustrated.
Was anyone able to get this problem fixed?
I have a (successfully) rooted Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 without external SD card and I wanted to install a custom ROM (tried both MIUI and CyanogenMod). I used the ROM manager app, via "Download ROM" and after the download has finished it prompted a menu and I selected 'Backup Exisiting ROM' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' and proceeded.
It booted the device into recovery mode and tried to mount SD card even though I don't have one. Then the installation failed, because the SD card mounting failed.
I also noticed that when I browse my files, the home directory is /sdcard, and all the files are there. I cannot navigate to the root folder (aka '/'). This is very odd considering I don't have an SD card.
How do I solve this issue?
Please help me.
/sdcard is your internal storage and to access root folder you need root explorer

It failed to mount your internal storage or external SD card which you don't have? Also ROM Manager have compatibility issues with SGS2 so I would avoid using it.

I see that I can't get you to answer helpfully, so I'll put it more clearly:
1. Why does it try to mount an SD card?
2. Can I tell it to install the ROM from the internal storage? If I do, then how?
3. Must I have an SD card to install ROMs?
4. If I do, is there a way to install ROMs without an SD card?
Thanks.
Ok, let's go back to start. What's your ROM and how have you rooted it?
Also seems to me there is little mixture of terms. The phone's internal storage is called USB storage if you go to settings and storage management. If you would have external memory card it would be there named SD Card. And now where probably comes the confusion. If you open file manager you will see folder called /sdcard. This is your internal storage aka USB Storage. So if you see message saying unable to mount /sdcard it's your internal storage.
Now to the rest of questions. If you have only stock recovery you can access only external SD card which you don't have, so to flash custom ROM from internal storage you need custom recovery like CWM.
The errors you have experienced after the reboot were caused by the ROM Manager. As I have mentioned before it has compatibility issues with SGS2 and I had my own problems with it ending in corruption of my internal memory which I needed to format at the end to solve the problem.
So my advice is to get rid of the ROM Manager and use instructions from their appropriate ROM threads to install them.
Odoslané z GT-I9100 cez Tapatalk 2
Thank you for clarifying the terminology which I obviously got wrong.
I did use CWM, but via ROM Manager. It turns out that this is what caused the problem. So I got rid of it and followed the instructions in those threads and it works!
Now that I have CyanogenMod 9.0.0, I have another problem:
It does not come with Google Play application. I tried to manually download and install Google Play with APK, and it didn't work.
If you know anything about it I appreciate if you take a look at this thread I opened.

I think Stileth might have this a little wrong. He clearly knows what he is talking about, but like many of the very knowledgable people on this board, it is hard to remember all the details of every phone.
This is what I have on a i9100, exploring with adb shell:
There is a /sdcard directory, which is your internal sdcard
There is a /sdcard/external_sd, which is your external sdcard
There is a /sdcard/usbStorage, which appears to be ram based storage.
I can move files to the usbStorage, but they do not survive a power cycle. I looked at the mount structure, and there is no device mounted for usbStorage, but it is defined as a tmpfs (temperary file system?) same as the other two sdcard directories. Perhaps someone else can fill in more details.
My thinking is that it is this strange file structure that is throwing RomManager off. I am seeing similar behavior as you when using RomManager
usbStorage is used for pendrives.

Recuva may recover deleted files but it will not recover if INT SD card has been formatted .

I have tried this app before. However, when I plug in my phone the app never detect my phone. I try install an app on my phone to enable usb mass storage, it keep giving me error saying unable to mount the sd card as some app is accessing it. What should I do so the recuva can detect my phone internal memory?
AFAIK you can't. That's one of the many reasons I miss the USB Mass Storage mode, under which both internal memory and sd card can be managed as ordinary USB drives.
Thanks for everyone feedback. I think the files are unable to recover back since I wipe it when reboot in recovery mode, it is equal as formatting the sd card.

You can still give it a go by removing and inserting your SD card to a card reader and plug it to your PC/Laptop. Recuva isn't designed to detect and recover files from your smart phone. Instead, it can still recover files from various types of USB or flash devices.
Good Luck otherwise.

I have the same issue. I am trying to recover deleted files from the internal storage (sdcard0) I tried recurva as well and it Windows can't detect the storage when in USB Mass Storage. It shows up as a drive but when you click it in Windows it says "Please insert disk".
If I can get the files to show up in Windows while in USB Mass Storage I can then use Recurva.. any help?
You can try Undelete from the market .
Otherwise as posted answers .

99% no.
My 2 cents...
You cannot mount as mass storage so no PC software will work.
There are things on the market but you have to pay and many probably wont work.
Think of any lost data as gone forever.
Proactively, get foldersync from play and have it schedule sdcard syncs to the cloud or even better, a home computer wirelessly

Just backup in cWM
Hi everyone,
Few days back when I was in Sammy LSJ ROM, I noticed there is a file already created and I am experiencing difficulty to delete this file from the Internal Storage.
Location:
/sdcard/00/01/02/03/
Inside this path, there is a file with weird character name in 0 byte.
I already try to delete that file (also try with the folder 03) from:
>> Root Explorer --> unable to go inside folder 03
>> My Files (comes with the OS) --> only can see one file with 0 byte
>> ES Explorer --> found three files in it, all with 0 byte
None of it allows me to delete it. :crying:
I did try to remove it from Terminal Emulator with command “rm –rf /sdcard/00/01/02/03/” but not successful, since I have limited knowledge on linux command line. You may refer the screenshot that I have attach in here.
My Current OS in SGS2 : WanamLite v14.1 LSD – 4.1.2
Appreciate can someone guide me how to permanently remove it? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you.
Bump.... any help is highly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
One sure way would be to backup needed data and then format /emmc (internal) or /sdcard (external) via cwm and re-install rom.

Connect your phone to a windows computer via mass transfer mode. Then right click on the internal SD card icon and go to properties and check disk for error. It happened with me. Some bad sector was built up. This process removed those files and my bad sector was also removed. You can also defragment your drive from here. I did mine.
I hope it helps...
Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. :good:
Whenever I connect my phone to PC (USB mass storage), I shall see a pop up windows to perform check disk for the phone (Internal Storage).
So I choose "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".
Then I remove the phone and reconnect back, it will prompt the same windows.
Using defragment from PC did not solve the problem as well.
At the end... I managed to solve my problem by formatting the Internal Storage from Windows:
- connect the phone as "USB mass storage"
- select full format from PC on Internal Storage
That's all... now the annoying folder 00 no longer appear.
**I'm not sure format from Windows will damage the partition in Phone's Internal Storage? I rebooted the phone and check again, the storage remain as 11.50GB, I guess should be all fine now.
And you didn't have to torch it after all.

Hi I have the same problem, what file system do you use when formatting from windows?
I have an extremely weird SD Card behavior with my Note 2:
After deleting files and rebooting, the files reappear.
I can't format the SD Card using the Android OS - it goes black screen and requires me to pull out the battery in order to start the device.
I removed the SD Card and attached it to my laptop's SD Card slot and tried formatting using Windows 7- the format process completed after ~30-40 minutes, yet the SD Card appeared UNCHANGED!
I used multiple SD Card formatting tools, still no dice - they either complain about write protection, that they can't start, they start and stop halfway with an error, you name it.
It's like the SD Card has built in protection that keeps the files in it in stasis form, never ever witnessed such a behavior in any storage device. What gives?
Any help, preferably from people who may have encountered a similar behavior, will be greatly appreciated!
Bump.
Experienced this in my old motus.
Would love to see advice, just in case

I doubt the SD Card is corrupted, as I can read the files on it just fine, each and every file.
A VBS virus that prevents me from even formatting the card? Never heard of such a thing.
Has my SD Card became sentient? Are the machines preparing their assault on mankind?

Its not the problem of virus!
And you say visual basic script is used to create a virus?? Hell, No!!
Maybe it is the permissions in the sd card is not allowing it to format!
If your device is rooted and check whether it has ClockWorkMod recovery support.
You can use any other recovery. But ClockWorkMod is more stable.
Go to android recovery and flash that CWM.
And then go to mounts and storage > select format /sdcard.
Check if the format completes. If it gets complete, reboot your phone and again format in the settings.
If it doesn't help, after doing all these steps, now try again with some softwares on your computer and then try again.

I just tried formatting the SD Card using CWM and the SD Card remained the...same?! Arrgh!
Anyway, you get a 'Thanks' regardless, I'm grateful for any attempt to help me out. This is some X-Files stuff going on here.

I am not the one who keep looking for thanks.
It is just that the people forget to thank the person who helped them.
Thats why I mention it on every post.
My SDcard just got worse.
Now it doesn't have a filesystem. Android reports it as blank, and Windows wants to format it because it has the RAW filesystem.
What's more, total space decreased to 30MB!
It's hard to lose all my multimedia files

OK, I have a backup image from CWM and Titanium Backup + Perseus CPU Governor, so I initially thought that they might cause this behavior, but it doesn't explain why formatting via Windows 7 seperately from my Note 2 didn't work.
I'm on stock 4.1.2, rooted, of course.

The android will surely report is as blank because you have formatted everything in ClockWorkMod.
Now all you have to do is go to settings > SD card and phone storage > Fomat SD card.
If it shows an error that "SD card is busy", then unmount it and then format it

Answer
You should have had a backup of everything present in the sd card to your computer.
I thought you had done it before. Even if you have formatted everything using a software in your computer, you would have deleted all your data.

I haven't formatted it lol.
I will describe:
- card suddenly unmounts itself
- Android remounts it and reports it as blank or having an unsupported filesystem
- went to Windows for confirmation, turned out that SDcard turned to RAW filesystem from FAT32
Basically I have a dead card.
