So, I found this thread and used the S959G Pit file to increase my app storage space but at the risk of losing my internal SD card or /emmc
Modded Pit file for SGH-S959G http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3829
Modded Pit file for SGH-I777 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-partition-i777-phone-data-storage-t2839161
TWRP says "E:Unable to mount '/emmc'
Cyanogenmod 12.1 sees the Internal SD card but formatting does nothing, it tries to, it shows the levels of what is using the space after formatting but quickly disappears two seconds later
Storage Partitions apps don't see the Internal SD card at all
and finally CyanogenMod Files shows '/storage/sdcard0/storage/secure' but I think that's a ghost.
Did I damage the Internal SD card?
My odin flashes where:
1.Flashed the Modded S959G pit for more storage, I freaked out and went to flash the I777 Pit and TWRP v2.7.1.0
2.Then flashed the i777_4GB data - 45mb preload - 1GB system pit file and CM 12.1 never booted
3.Flashed the Modded S959G pit and CM1 2.1 booted.
I hope I can still use the Internal SD card again
Any help or hope is needed at this point. :crying:
Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue that you are having right now

Currently having an issue with my SGS2.
Have been installing the custom vanilla rootbox roms for a while and the most recent update process has been from 3.2 -> 3.3.1 -> 3.4.
What has happened seems to have happened on the last update is the internal (non removeable) mmc card doesn't seem to be mounting.
Going into CWM recovery and choosing the "install zip from sd card" to use as a pseudo file browser, i can view both /sdcard (removeable sd) and /emmc (internal sd) and see all the files, but when the phone boots up only the external card is visible.
Browsing the files system:
/extSdCard - has external card files
/sdcard - is empty
/storage/sdcard0 - is empty
/storage/sdcard1 - has external files
/emmc - does not exist
So for some reason /emmc is not mounting to /sdcard + /storage/sdcard0
Is there a way to fix this issue? Also does CWM have a file-backup facility that i can backup my hidden files to the other sd card, or is there another method i can do this?

Does anyone have any other suggestions that might help?
I had this issue...
I had this issue and managed to resolve it by using the following steps:
I backed up the phone using Titanium Backup to the external SD card (mmcblk1) and then shut the phone down and removed the SD card (to ensure it wasn't erased at any point).
I then booted into CWM recovery and re-partitioned and re-formatted the internal SD Card (mmcblk0p11). I then formatted /data, /cache and wiped the Dalvik cache to start afresh.
Once booted, I made sure that the internal SD card mounted correctly and was showing the correct amount of space (approx. 11.5GB).
On my computer I then copied the Titanium Backup files off the external SD card, repartitioned it as a single partition (MBR-style, not GUID/GPT!) and then then reformatted the partition as FAT.
I re-copied the TB backups back onto the external SD card and put it back into the phone. On reboot, the phone mounted both partitions as expected.
I then restored from the TB backups and I've not had any trouble since.
I'd been living with the issue for a while and it was driving me insane. The turning point came for me when I removed the external SD card once and it mounted the internal SD card correctly (which it hadn't done in a long time). It was then I realised that it was something about having the two together that wasn't working properly for some reason. This is why I repartitioned and reformatted them both as "stock" as I could to ensure that they worked in their "out of the box" state.
I'm not entirely sure why this happened as it did, but it seems to be working correctly now for me (and I'm very happy!).
I hope this works for you!!
Good day,
I am using SGS2 i9100g.
I have flashed from CM10.0, JB4.1.2 to pacman 3.00, JB4.2.2
ISSUES:
1. error mounting emmc and cannot detect external sd card
2. When i want to use camera or gallery, there is an error saying "No external storage available"
Attempted solutions:
I have tried the following but it does not solve my problem
1. re-flash the custom rom and gapps. (full wipe with wipe cache and dalvik cache)
2. reformatted my sd card to fat32.
3. went to recovery to unmount and remount my external sd card
4. tried to mount emmc in recovery but returns an error "error mounting emmc"
5. off and on and also rebooted my smartphone
6. tried these codes shown at the bottom(to manual remount)
$ su <enter>
# mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard<enter>
Side notes:
- I am not sure whether is both related in terms of cannot mount emmc and not detecting my sd card.
- My sd card can be seen in storage with many free space(new sd card) can unmount and mount but the "Mount usb storage" is sealed, my internal storage also can be seen with a lot of free space.
- I am not sure about this but i have googled and saw that some people said that cyanogenMod has bugs regarding the folder of sd card and internal memory directory are swapped(or something like that)
- By using ES file explorer i can see mnt/extSdCard(which is my external sd card) with my files inside but in my mnt/sdcard(i am not sure if this is for internal memory) there is nothing but i cannot find emmc folder inside /mnt.
- I have a storage folder which has sdcard0 which contains nothing, sdcard1 which contains my file in my external sd card and a usbdisk0 contains nothing also.
- Now i am not sure which is the cause of the problem where i cannot use my camera phone and gallery
Please help and thanks in advance
Every help and suggestion is appreciated

I have found a solution. Just reflash back to stock and then flash to custom rom.(repartition with an uncompatible .pit file can cause a traumatic event to a person i.e me )
ATTENTION!!!
DO NOT MESS WITH .PIT FILE!!! I've did a mistake earlier and i've paid the price of bricking my phone. Plus when you meddle with the wrong .pit file, it will corrupt the internal memory and as far as i have searched through the xda forum, nothing works and re-flashing back to stock rom can also cause problems.
Hope this information will inform all of you so that you will not make the same mistake as i have done.
Peace

Do you think it would work if I just redo repartition with a known correct PIT file?
Or going back to Stock is a must?
Thanks!

Hi,
Three weeks ago I had my SGSIII rooted and with a custom ROM and regular backup in the external SD card and everything was working OK.
I wanted to remove all the information form the internal memory and decided to format the internal memory, so using CWM (6.0.4.7) I made all the wipes and formatted:
/system
/cache
/preload
/data
I think that one of those formats was the source of the error, but I don't know which one!
Afterwards I tried to access the externalSD card from the restore menu to restore one of my NAND backups, but the extrenalSD card was not accessible (E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1) neither from the install zip menu (same error). the SD card was OK because was workable in another phone. I tried to mount the external SD card from the mounts and storage menu but gave an error (Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!)
Since I could not restore my NAND backups, I restored the stock ROM (JB 4.3) using odin and afterwards I rooted the phone and install again CWM (6.0.4.7) but the problem persisted and now I am using the stock ROM and can access the external SD card from android normally.
I have looked about this error and all the cases I have found are using older versions of CWM and recommend to format the external SD card, so I did, but the problem persisted.
So my questions are:
- What have I done wrong?
- How can I fix it?
Afterwards I thought that I could copy the NAND backup from the external SD to the internal memory so I made NAND backup to see where it was stored, but using ultra explorer I cannot find the location (furthermore, according to the DiskUsage App the space is used but does not inform me where it is).
I have asked Google for the location of the backups in the internal memory (I can not recall such locations) but the folders did not exist or where empty. So:
- Is it possible to copy a backup from the external SD card into the internal memory?
- How can it be done?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the lengthy post.
In storage & USB the device storage says 1.27 GB Total used of 10.34 GB. However, Internal sorage says 797 MB used of 2.95GB, whilst sdcard0 is listed under 'Portable storage' and it says 283 MB used of 9.99 GB. I've had to subsequently format the external SD card to use it as internal storage because the internal storage is listed as portable. How to I change the sdcard0 to internal storage?
Help much appreciated,

Hi,
By any chance was your internal sd encrypted?
If you can access your internal sd via PC, backup all your files onto your PC then format your internal sd using recovery (listed as sdcard0 or internal sd) using the default settings if your are using CWM. Make sure that the filesystem is vfat or fat32.

Hi
Just looked into my storage (which is repartioned to 1 gb system and 4 gb data) an saw the following:
the internal storage is 3,94 gb (which must be data)
the rest of the sd0 is listed as portable storage 8,99 gb
also listed as portable storage is the sd1 (which i choosed as external storage on first setting).
so i believe the rest of sd0 (after having partioned) is just called "portable storage" .
in my thinking to make this portable sd0 to internal storage would mean to make it to data partition.
maybe i think completely wrong (and i dont know the size of your partitions)

Sorry I've taken a while to get back. After a lot of trial and error I've realised that both the internal an external SD card partitions were corrupted. I relashed the pit files and reverted back to CWM recovery and reformated all partitions.
The only problem I faced after was after installing CM13 Gapps kept telling me that storage space was still insufficient, even though I had relashed the internal memory with a new pit file.
I've heard that you have to revert back to a stock ROM after flashing the pit before your increased storage is recognised for the installation of Gapps, so I've reverted back to a stock ROM and I'm soon to factory reset and reinstall CM13 to see if the increased partition size is recognised for the Gapps installation. If though I've tried installing Nano Gapps it's given me the insufficient storage error.
I'll keep you posted.

Hi
It does'nt make any sense at all to go back to stock-rom after repartitioning.
Please correct me If i am wrong but i think you are just trying and not following a proper guide for repartitioning and installing cm13.
Do understand your problem and provide help you could give detailed information which exactly Files you flashed in which order and which method.
You are also talking about cwm altough you need isorec recovery twrp 3..... in the process of flashing cm13. Besides in this recovery you can change with lanchons repit tool all repartition-sizes just as you like.

I have just installed LOS 14.1 on my GTi9100. Before I started the install I partitioned my SD card with a 5GB Fat32 partition and a 3GB partition with no file type which my previous rooted system required to extend internal memory.
When Lineage installed it repartitioned the SD card and now I have a card with 6MB Fat32 partition and a 29GB partition of unknown type which cannot be used for external storage. I removed the card and tried to repartition using Mini Partition Tools but I cannot resize or change the 29GB partition.
As I have no external storage I cant install your fix for addons file or anything else. I cant use it for camera image storage either.
In TWRP if I select re-partition it says I will lose all data and I don't know if I should do that?
Don't know if this still is relevant. But yes, almost every storage issue (for example not accessible, not visible) I had in my past only got fixed by a full wipe. I don't know all those tools existing out there for data recovery, but if you have a more or less recent backup it isn't that painful to wipe everything.
