Hey guys i think i got hands on some developer phone or something! there is a "not for sale" logo on the side of the note and also there is no att logo or samsung logo neat the earpiece and there is a huge problem! the phone does not accept SD card neither does it detect internal memory in it, this is the att version of the phone i can confirm it by the boot logo and the model number, so because of no storage of any sort im unable to use camera of the phone also! There is always one notification telling that the "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file system"
But i can enable USB debugging on the phone and i assume that only the software of the phone is restricting the phone from using the storage so was thinking if there is any way i can flash the phone with some stock firmware using some fastboot commands or something as i cannot even install custom roms because i cant enable storage! Please guys any sort of help will be appreciated also will make donations for the developer who finds a solution
the phone is running an official ics build, please guys help me out here!
here are few pictures

hello i tried to get into download mode! tried inserting the USB 1st and then hold up plus down while inserting the battery but nothing happens but the phone just vibrates at regular intervals(3-4 sec) and continus to vibrate even when there is no battery in it!( that is only when the phone is connected to USB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
I believe that thread will help you. Also I believe download mode is: with battery in, power off, hold volume down, then hold power till phone boots into download mode, then I believe it's volume up to confirm. sorry it's been awhile since I've needed it.....

ok any pointers to Odin firmware flashers? i brought this phone from abhishek and have successfully flashed with Odin stock ICS leak as well as stock gingerbread. but the SD card/mass storage still dont work. though the nag screens are not there, but still, camera, spen, gallery, swype etc dont worl. in one word the phone is severely crippled expensive paper wieght!!!!
any help guys would be gr8!!!
thanx in advance
ok rooted what next?
Ok guys i finally succeeded in rooting the phone and a few things make me feel this is a software issue. though still i cant use the internal storage and the sd card
-after installation of busy box in the Busybox window it shows"Free space in /system 327680mb" i mean like if it is 32gb shouldnt it read like 32768mb?
(installation fails though-says "failure!there is either not enough space on your SDcard or your SDcard is not mounted!"
-when i boot into recovery i cant mount or format the emmc. I get the error"Error mounting / emmc!"
-amazingly i can in recovery i can install and browse the SD card (thats how i flashed the Saurom Rom)
Hence i think emmc not mounted is preventing the use of both the onboard storage and the SD card. If only i could get a way to format the emmc i think the problems would be solved. Is the size of the emmc corrupted result in these issues?Is it possible to disable the emmc? or is there a way to format the emmc using Odin?(since CWM fails to do so)
any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanx in advance.
guys anyone out there?

Nope dude it is an actual Samsung note i717.but I think it is faulty and needs a motherboard replacement to work the sd card or the internal sd card
I have read a lot of forums on this topic. I wanted to root and get cm10 and join this android community, but unfortunately I went wrong somewhere. I used CMW and got CM10 working, but for some reason, it does not recognize my sd card. I tried clearing it out, formatting through recovery, and all that did was cause me to lose all my data. I did the work around with having s-on, but can't see how that can be an issue. I can't access my ext or internal storage at all, not even through my pc, I have no aps and no ability to download apps due to google market not being install. If this has already been answered, please send me the link, because I searched most forums and none of the solutions posted has worked for me.
The only thing I can do now in terms of internal or external memory would have to be in fastboot, because even with cm10 running I can't access my internal or external memory though pc.
Does cwm recognize memory? Can you mount storage to pc using cwm? You can probably format the internal that way. You really should be using twrp, cwm causes more problems then its worth

i would not use that recovery if i was u.. it messes up your misc partition.. i would flash twrp 2.2.2 asap.. no one uses cwm recovery on the evo LTE.. it dont work correct on this phone boss
I managed to get twrp, but still the same issues, even twrp refuses to mount internal or external storage. I even partitioned SD, reflashed and still nothing.
It may be time to relock and run ruu
Maybe flashing a new custom ROM with twrp?
I thought you had lol. Try that and failing that I would fall back to ruu

Yes your port, which runs smooth by the way, and external SD worked on liquid smooth
OK, so I just realized my internal wasn't being read either, so I erased the as card under storage and it reads it now, so I will try that on my external when I get to my PC and backup my SD card

I have the LG L70 running KitKat and. So I got 750mb free storage space, and while I can move an app to the SD card after install, incl. the main app of gangstar vegas, but when I run it and it tries to download the 3gb data package, it obviously says not enough space on the device internal storage. Which is true, but I have the SD card inside, how do I get the phone to download the data there? im rooted aswell if that helps is there an app that can make the phone think my external memory is my internal memory? thanks in advance

Link2sd plus will do that for you. It has an option of placing the application and/or its data on the sd. It's a paid app, but only $2 - well worth it imo.
thanks ill check it out and get back to you
its not working for me are sure it will allow me to download the additional 3gbs to the EXTERNAL sd card? instead of the internal storage wich has only 700mb's? thanks for your suggestion though this is really stomping me

OK, I should have been clearer. This is more complex than what I first described. In order to use Link2SD plus optimally, you will need to perform a few steps. You can find the reasoning behind them in the Link2SD FAQ (although a bit outdated). Here are the steps you should perform:
1. Backup your SD. This is a means of precaution only.
2. Reformat your SD drive to add a second ext3/ext4 partition (no need to wipe the data or anything like that). Its size should be about 10% of the total SD size. You can do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Make sure that the new partition is primary and not logical.
3. Reinstall Link2SD plus in order for it to recognize the new SD layout. May need to reboot here.
4. From Link2SD plus, choose your game. Tick all Link options, especially the link data option.
This will fool the game to think that its data is located on the internal storage, but it's really on the SD. In this case, the 3GB data should now be downloaded to SD.

LOL yeah. Although I'm a big android fan, this specific issue (the whole dealing with external SD that is) is a weak spot which android keeps failing to address throughout its releases. I know where it's coming from (basef on linux) but it's still something that should have gotten a proper creative solution by now.
I have L7 II and I used FolderMount on obb of games like FIFA 14 and it worked fine,you should try it

No problem mate. It's best for you to try all the methods posted here by other people before trying Link2SD plus. If they work, it'll save you much hassle. I've tried to think of a guide for you, and it figured to me that the only way for it to work is if you either get an SD card reader or alternatively another device that allows you to mount the SD in a USB MSC (mass storage class) mode, as AFAIK LG stock devices only allow MTP mode, something that won't allow you to format a partition using your PC.

Yes, CWM is Clockwork Mod - Android's recovery program. Reason I asked is that it has a built-in ability to partition your SD, something that'll ease things up.
And don't feel bad about not partitioning theSD - this shouldn't be done in the vast majority of the cases, only in when you wanna use apps like Link2SD or others that need to push Android to the limit...
ok ill look into that today and get back at you also is it possible to sideload an app directly on to your external sd? could that work and let me side step alot of trouble thanks

I guess it's possible, but I don't know how to do it...
Regarding Link2SD plus guide, you'll need one of the following two:
1. CWM on your device
2. A card reader, or another phone that allows you to mount the SD as MSC (like Disk On Key - in windows it'll show as an additional drive)

yeah i dont have a card reader and i dont know anybody that has one neither i wish i would did more research before i made the leap from ios to android i thought android was more accessible open and easier to deal with i assumed that since you had an sd card slot having a ton of internal space wasn't critical like it is on ios because you could buy memory i had no clue how wrong i was and since i got this phone and ive noticed something odd gl to sd seems to be doing what i want but only for on app assassins creed black flags companion app runs fine when i use gl to sd the additional data downloaded on my external sd and when i try to run the app without gl to sd it tries to download the additional files on my internal sd are you familiar with that app and how to get it to work with other apps like gangstar vegas? thanks man for your and everybody eles help

OPPS sorry about that dead link.....
This link is working today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHsHiXDgSy4
I put the whole URL this time to copy and paste.
I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st Primary Fat32 partition.
Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.
OR
Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.
Be sure to set or make BOTH the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.
I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.
Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.
And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

I use the FREE EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to partition the sd card. I find it easier to and faster to back up the contents of sd card to computer than partition. and than transfer bkup to sd card on the 1st Primary Fat32 partition.
Takes to long to transfer 4 to 6 GB back from bkup to card from pc to phone IMO.
OR
Here is a step by step .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nllIEBzuPHo I prefer the 4000MB partition for the NU storage.
Be sure to set or make BOTH the partitions "Primary" partitions or they will not work with Link2sd.
I tried Mini tool and Aparted but they might work for others, they didn't work for me.
Link2sd card is the most reliable and easy to do the linking from old tiny internal storage to the NEW enlarged external storage that I have found.
And if that app does not do it for anyone try foldermount https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWTghTploY

So, basically your solution is based on using additional SD card not changing/modifying the phones' EMMC memory.
I think I had tried Link2SD/Folder mount earlier and not all apps supports with this method.
It is still helpful but I think we(other users) still like to change the EMMC side.
But I still want to tried your suggested method to try. Thank you!!!

BTW, how do you use? (Partition Size and link to External SD? or Internal 2nd Partition?)
Just wondering... If you have spare time to share. Please share how you did and how you are using it with which combination sizes. Thank you!
