I have a moto E 1st gen (indian version). By mistake i wiped my internal memory using twrp recovery in the advanced wipe options and now i cannot access my internal memory using any file manager (not even ES file manager). All i get is an empty message on opening the internal storage. Can you help me with this? Anyone?
Note: my phone is rooted.

If you wiped your internal storage, you will get empty message only...!
If you have other problem, describe it in detail
Yes i am facing problems.
File managers show the internal empty but if i search a particular file/folder it works fine. (i.e. i hav to use the search function of the file manager every time i want to see anything from internal)
I can move/copy from internal to sd card but am unable to do the vice versa(sd card to internal). Basically i cannot write on internal now. So i cannot enjoy playing games(modded) with obb files.
The Google play music thumbnails seem to disappear some how.
WhatsApp seems to crash frequently. Some other apps crash too. (I have a friend with the same phone rooted, with the same stock rom version and with the same whatsapp version working just fine).
I cannot even download any photo from chrome as it saves in internal by default. It shows an error message!
And all of this is happening just from the day i wiped my internal.
Need help. How to undo this?

Try formating your SD card as internal on any mm rom

New to XDA. Tried searching the forums if similar issue has been asked before but seems that none is quite similar to my situation.
Mine Atrix was HK 2.3.4 stock rom. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed epinter's CM10. The custom rom works well so far.
But the major problem is that whenever I use apps that require external storage, such as Photo Gallery and Play Music,
or try to save/restore backup of apps in the sd card, these apps pop up a message "no external storage available" and force close.
I tried to flash back to the 2.3.4 stock rom and the sd card works fine with my phone.
Then I once again flashed CM10, the above problem occurs one again.
With CM10, when I connect the phone with my computer through USB cable, I can only access to the sd card but not the internal storage.
I installed ASTRO and I can explore the files on sd card (/storage/sdcard1), but since I can't access to internal storage on computer,
I have no idea which directory I should look for in ASTRO as the internal storage.
When it was 2.3.4 stock rom, the above problems never happened. Could anyone advise me the solution?
/storage/sdcard0 ->Internal
/storage/sdcard1 -> External
Did you do a clean install (full-wipe)? Check on CM10 Settings -> Storage [Use external storage]

Yes I did 3-wipe before and after flashing rom. And the Settings -> Storage [Use external storage] didn't help.
Hi
As far as I know, you must enter in advanced option and here activate the external SD card.

This has already been done before.
[Update]After a reboot, the phone finally can detect the sd card, but the internal storage is still absent from the file explorer (ASTRO) or the computer through USB. So weird?
I recently flashed this rom and I am having the same problems except my external micro SD card works, could anyone help?
You're not alone I'm having he same problem with external sdcard. Maybe there's no solution for now
re partitioning

hello guys hope this can help
I flashed cm10 epinter for atrix olympus hk version. I had the same problem of disappearing internal storage, even in recovery the emmc cannot mount. After digging for weeks i finally found this that saved me. Basically it is just deleting the old partition , remake it and then format. Instruction is simple just a few lines. Just need to be careful.
Now both internal and external storage are OK and both show in usb mode connecting to computer. Hope it works for you and not too late.

Thanks for the above infor bro.........but i am unable to understand what is written in this link.
I have downloaded mini tool for partition managing......but unable to find the sdcard in this sofware's. only my computer's drives shown.
all the time i flashing custom rom..external storage not available msg comes when gallery opens or camera.
please help.
My i9300 is nealy unusable. The first sign of trouble was a error message trying to open gallery on 4.1.2. I then flashed latest omegarom after wipeing everything didnt solve the problem just gives a better description.
"There is not enough space (-5371MB) in your device memory. Delete some files" In settings the internal storage has 5.36GB free. I have been trying out a few different roms over the last few days but have always full wiped.
Now a lot of my apps force close on launch. How can my internal storeage be showing to some apps as a minus but the system gets the correct free space. I did have a play around with ExtDs2InternalSd v5 but decided to to swap back.
Hope someone can help me..Thanx in advance..

Then this is your problem did you follow proper uninstall instructions for ExtDs2InternalSd v5 >> If you want to remove the mod with a file explorer with root ability, delete the file 11extsd2internalsd from etc/init.d folder <<
If that does not work you will need to flash new rom and full wipe..

Yes thats what I did when I decided to go back to internal memory and everything was ok at first. I have since flashed omega rom with a full wipe but same problem and all roms since. I have checked Inside the ect/initd folder and that file is gone.
Thanx for the help any other ideas?

Yes back up internal and external sd cards and format both..make sure you format any ext2 partitions on your external sd card with minitool partition wizard or equivalent formatting tool.
Hello,
I'm a moto e user and i am having issues with internal storage....Moto E has 4 GB internal storage...I am having nothing in my internal storage other than Whatsapp media (around 32 MB).But it still says Free Memory:300 MB....
I am not able to play games due to this low storage error
Sent from my Moto E using XDA mobile app
Go to Settings>Storage and see what is taking more Memory and see the misc and cache option and move your audio,pictures,videos to sd card.If this not help you should do a factory reset..
I already moved my apps and media to sd card..can i move my game sd data to memory card???
I have moved all my apps to sd card still it is showing the same
Do you stored any game's App Data on Internal Storage ?

If you are rooted, you can move the game data by using Folder Mount or GL to SD app!!
No other way??

it occupies 1.5 gb of internal storage and the data cannot be moved to sd and that is the reason for full storage issue..if u uninstall it then u'l get full storage.and if you want that game and storage too then you have to root your phone...
I watched a youtube video...A guy had asphalt 8+subway surf+2-3 more games in his unrooted moto e still his internal storage was not full

Yes the phone supports Hindi script. Just download Hindi keyboard from play store works fine for me.
How much storage should the Moto E have from a factory reset? I've had low storage errors already and I have no games installed. I have Pocket casts set to external SD, Deezer caching to external SD and I have just a handful of other apps - Tweetings, Flickr, WhatsApp, HSBC and a few other small apps - yet I currently have just 707MB free. I'm not sure if this is normal. I tried to use Plants VS Zombies but that is just large enough to prevent many updates installing. I do wish Moto had added just a little bit more storage.
If I use an Apps To SD method will this kill off my SD card quite rapidly? I've always though that they weren't designed to be used for anything but general storage.
general usable storage size is approx 2.2 GB on internal memory.
From my perspective App2SD is safe because it only moves 'statical' files such as .apk (the app), .so (libs), .dex (dalvik-translation). Once those files have been generated they won't be altered. So future handling of those files only is read access and not write access.
So I do not really see any threat for ageing of SD-Card.
I am using Moto E from last 6months, day before yesterday I update my Moto E to Lolipop. But from that day m facing internal memory, m using only Whatsapp Share it and M-indicator thats it. But now m not able to download Facebook app, because when I try to install facebook app from playstore 1 pop up window shows on my screen that insufficient memory. So I deleted all the images videos etc from my mobile still same problem m facing... Please help.
I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
I own a Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 [SM-J210F], Rooted with SuperSU, Runs Stock Marshmallow ROM, Runs Xposed perfectly.
I have been using Link2SD.
For reinstalling Link2SD for better performance, I unlinked all the apps, and then, uninstalled Link2SD and Apps2SD, WITHOUT DELETING THE MOUNT SCRIPT.
Now my phone does not recognise my SD card and INTERNAL STORAGE.
I also use Xinternal SD :
- When it is Enabled, ES File Explorer prompts "265A-2A17"(My SD card) is not found
- When it is Disabled, it prompts "storage/emulated/0" is not found
. . .Therefore ultimately proving that the Internal Storage is not recognised...
I cannot access my Media files in the SD card.
I cannot download anything.
I even tried the "Factory Reset" option in the Settings menu... Problem remains the same.
Still didn't try flashing stock ROM via Odin3...
Explanation and Help in this issue are needed...
@EDXE
U P D A T E ----------------------
While wiping the device using TWRP, it ended up with the message:
Could not mount partition

or something similar.
Anyways after flashing Stock ROM with Odin3, the device is fine . . . : )
Developers, kindly look after this issue . . .
