Hi everyone,
So, I think ive damaged my internal memory...But let me give u some info first.
UK SGS3 i9300 on vodafone. I rooted it a while ago and have had several roms. I know the basics of android hacking since I've hacked several as well as my previous 2 contract phones. I was on paranoidandroid 2.22 or w.e. version it was, however I wanted to go back to a sammy rom, and decided to clear my internal sdcard n ext sdcard (more or less - leave my music folder on there foe example) at the same time. I only mention this because my lead has been a little touchy recently and during the process it disconnected a fair few times till i got the cable sat right. I didnt have easy ums or anything - it was mtp. I completed this and loaded my rom onto the extsdcard.
I then went into the cwm touch recovery 6.xx or w.e. selected factory reset, wipe cache n dalvik, then installed it. It just got stuck at the boot logo for a while, then kept boot looping. I then tried wiping a few times, and a couple of different roms, and during this time I noticed that when I click wipe data it rebooted recovery. I then downloads the appropriate stock firmware to flash via odin. I flashed it and it was still stuck on the boot logo. I then realized I couldnt get into recovery, so I flash cf-root via odin, I got the 5.xxx recovery that comes with it. I tried to wipe all again, and it just didnt seem to work, I was stuck in a bootloop. I then posted this:

So yeah with adb, I got it to boot, but i had the wrong size internal memory capacity. Then tonight I flashed twrp (a recovery if u dont know) (latest version) via goomanager and then selected in goo manager ti reboot recovery. Now my phone just goes from the sgs3 logo to the twrp logo and back, even if I boot normally, it does that, and same for trying to boot recovery. I can still get into download mode, but thats it.
I have since tried flashing the stock firmware again to no avail, I'm going to flashing cf root to get recovery... but we'll see what happens...
so what can i do?!?!
Have you tried flashing complete stock firmware through Odin? Then start from there?
You say internal memory is wrong? Might have to flash .pit aswell with re-partition?

yes I have, several times, if u read it all... Where can i get teh CORRECT pit file? I've tried one, but it didnt help.
I've just flashed cf root (after a pass on stock firmware) and its booted the ultima rom again... and still got 12.1gb internal... so my phone boots again, but the internal is still wrong! help!
You know that some of the 16gb is taken for the system files right? My phone only reports like 11.6gb in total to use.
Android reserves about 4gb that's why you only have 12gb free there is no problem there.

That's normal, the 12.1GB is COMPLETELY normal.
Other memory is reserved by the system.
This is usual and it should work that way, stop messing with it.
32GB models should have about 25GB~.
idiot here

oooookk, TT used to show 16gb tho.... i remember i like the fact it read 16gb sd & 16gb extsd. nvm, im just wrong. thanks. I'll use it as it for now, still not 100% convinced but ya know... never had this sort of trouble with my HTC's :/
I'd just like to thank fellow-idiot for this thread, had similar situation (semibricked device, flashed something I should not have been flashing), and now my Internal is 11.3, and I seem to remember it was 14.7, just like my external - but I may be wrong. Changing ROMs, formating Internal, changing recoveries (now on Teamwin Recovery) doesn't seem to change a thing about it. Oh well, not that I'm gonna need it, just wondering where it went (never said hallo either... no manners, today's internal memories..)
11.3 is what it should be
I flashed one Recovery, then flashed a newer version. When I installed a Rom, it couldn't find my internal SD card. It said it was there, but everything was installed to the external and the cameras wouldn't start because they couldn't find the internal...Very strange. I tried various things (Installing new Recovery, but it wouldn't flash, mounting and unmounting, but got error on sd card mount) and nothing worked. So I figured I would do a factory reset and it just boots to the Recovery...weird...
I'm going to flash an RUU and see if going back to stock helps, but I would appreciate hearing if anyone else has ever had this problem...
I searched and found nothing in the Rezound Thread. XDA offered suggestions but they were all from other devices, mostly Samsung and those folks seemed to assume device failure, and it may be that, but the device seems to be working, it's just the internal that's having issues...
Any thoughts?
EDIT: I flashed the latest RUU in HBOOT and all is back to normal!
If you had just installed the stock recovery it would have allowed you to do what you wanted it to.

Has any Canadians with a i527m Odin in a custom recovery and root then went back to stock by flashing the factory Rom back in with Odin?
I'm concerted about any updates that are coming or warranty.
I just got a telus mega but the lexar 64GB microsd card keeps UNmounting randomly. I'm trying a 32gb lexar card now to see if it is a warranty issue(or just a cheap card issue).
I hate the 4.22 touch wiz Rom bloat so I want to root asap.
in your mud with my stick
Hey there guys,
Well, I got into a serious problem with my SD and I would really appreciate any help.
First of all, I got a Lg Magna H502 with the android 5.0.1, stock ROM. I managed to root it and then I got it into a bootloop by installing stupid things on it. (I'm pretty noob at android management). With TWRP I wiped everything that I could - totally desperate at this point. Bricked the hell out of it. Then, I couldn't even acess the TWRP.
Later, I managed to flash a mm ROM on it and all went back working again.. but with a big problem though, my SD wasn't being recognized anymore. It doesn't seem like a common problem, cuz I tried all the solutions that I could possibly find in the internet for 2 days and yet, no lucky. The problem isn't on the SD since my other device and my pc with the adapter can find it. Already tried formating with exFAT and FAT32, also tried the cmd checking method with the "chkdsk etc", it seems to be everything ok with the SD. Not only that, already tried to wipe cache and mount the sd card using the TWRP but still, nothing happens. It doesn't allow me to mount it.
I didn't try to flash the old stock ROM on it because all the people that installed the same mm ROM on the same phone didn't have this issue. So, it doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.
Any ideas? I can't figure it out.
The SD model is a Sandisk 32GB.
Thanks in advance!
