Hello, I got a major problem with my phone.
I tried to root it, it has bootloop. So I unbricked it directly by flashing b121. After that once I've reboot my phone, it makes many secondes to recognize my Sim card, like 30-40 seconds. More problematical, I can't install all my apps and why? Because I've loss a lot of internal storage. I have a 16Go Honor, I've got now only 4Go. Anyone already see that? Any fixes?
Sorry if bad English, I'm French.

That is speaking about how to fix bootloop, would it fix my problem too? Because I think nobody mentioned a loss of memory in the thread you gave me, may I didn't see it?

Usually messed internal memory is due to wrong partition. And partition is linked to bootloader.
Remove your microSD and try to do the same steps as described. It will wipe your phone clean to a old and stable ROM. It can be considered as a low-level format. It has to fix it, because the other (very unlikely) option is corrupted memory.

Thanks to your comment, i have made a data wipe and a cache partition wipe with the original stock recovery. It worked fine and I have all my storage. Thanks you, i just have to now find the updates (i'm in b121).

What's the problem? I have almost all the memory i need...
under Settings> Storage
I have 8.11Gb on SD card
1.53GB on internal storage
1.68GB on additional storage: /mnt/emmc (idk what this is im guessing... applications???)
So.. everytime i try to download a app from the market, it comes up with
"error downloading ________ insufficient space on the device!"
What would i need to do to fix this?
Before someone says it, yes I did search.
more than HALF of the problems i searched was talking about not enough space on /system
I dont think thats my problem...
The other solution i found was to ODIN and check repartition, which i ALWAYS, ALWAYS do.
Would i HAVE to odin? I really don't like odin now-a-days its a pain.
so what would I need to do to fix this?
bumpppppppppppppppppppppp
Is it CM? If so reflash gapps or CM7 itself.
If you're using the new Market, then you will need to delete unused files from /cache using a shell. For some reason the new Market uses /cache to cache apps it downloads/installs. If you install a big one, there's not enough space free to cache another app.
Edit: /mnt/emmc is your external SD card.

Yes!
This started as soon as I got new market. Guess I'll go back to old one...
Went to old and everything works...
How would I be able to use new market without rights problem, I didn't have this problem before...
someone please help me, its still happening on the old market now

wiped the cache partition, still not fixed...
Self troubleshooting? I've tried EVERYTHING lol, i'm going to ODIN back right now and flash CM7 again *sigh*
I've been having the same issues with my phone. I've been having a lot of issues with my Vibrant actually, I wish I would have just kept my G2.. Anyway, did starting fresh fix your problem? Wiping the cache worked for me but this is from a fresh install as well. Hopefully this isn't just a temporary fix though.. I never had issues like this on my G2, must have had a larger cache partition.
Your like the 3rd person in which I had to tell them wwhat to do, but anyway, I used to have this problem. All you need to do is clear market cache, if that doesn't work, backup and then reformat your internal and external SD cards, that is what actually did the trick for me.
After you reformat, it should work, if I doesn't, reflash, then it should.

So far clearing cache in cwm worked fine, I think the issue had something to do with the google application auto-installer because I had that problem twice and both times it happened when I used that google app installer bs.
I have been using checkrom revolution hd v4 for 2 weeks with DK 2.5.2 with no problems. But after a nornal reboot today, the SD card (internal) can't be read even after several reboots. I tried to formatted it but it can't be formatted either. Just bought my SGS2 two months ago only.
What should i do to recover function of my SD card again? Is it because of the custom rom that caused this issue?
Please help. Thanks!

Try doing a full-stock restore, making sure to do a factory reset, wipe the cache and Dalvik cache along the way. If you're still having problems, take it to a Samsung service center.
That's really strange though - I'd assume that if the OS can't read/write the internal storage, then it shouldn't be able to flash a ROM, or even really load the OS?
just a thought... have you tried to: connect your phone via usb as external drive and have windows do a repair of harddrive.
i had a sdcard which was "read only" under android, after that procedure it worked again flawless
in my case the cause was a faulty titanium backup file....

Thanks for the help! I suspect it might be Titanium Backup problem. The OS finally read the internal SD after a few more reboots but all the data inside is wiped out Not to mention I accidentally formatted my external SD by mistake as well. Sigh...got to restore everything bit by bit. Do you think it could be a media problem initially (i.e. problem with the internal SD)?
I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else here before. I have been searching for days and have not found the full answers to my questions anywhere.
Recently I updated my GT-P7510 CM9 to an experimental CM10 from by pershoot. After getting it up and running I was looking at my internal storage usage and numbers didn't seem to add up (must have done a dirty flash at some point in the past to cause this). My internal storage in root explorer showed 8.93gb in use and 28.01 total storage. I copied everything to a USB drive to back it up and noticed there was only 7.45gb actually on the internal storage. I have seen this problem before on my S2, and I always just reformat the internal SD card (emmc) to regain the missing space. However, since the tab does not have a micro SD slot, I have no way of wiping the internal sdcard (data/media) without wiping out the rom too from how I understand it. Somebody correct me if I am wrong...
So, does anybody know of a way to successfully wipe/format the sdcard (data/media directory) in CWM or other method that will not wipe out the rom and send the device straight to cwm with no way to install a new rom? Or do I have to revert back to stock to accomplish the format of sdcard like I have read for a few other similar situations? Everything works fine (CM10 & CM9 both run awesome), I just want that extra 1.48gb of missing/phantom storage back. And, without mass storage mode, I cannot perform a disk check in win7. This has really got me frustrated to find a solution without having to start over. I wish this tab had a micro SD slot!
Currently I am running CM9 nightlies (7-31) for p4wifi (gt-p7510). My cwm recovery is version 6.0.1.0. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I do apologize if this has been covered before. Thanks in advance to those of you smarter than I.

Ok, I seemed to have figured this one out and now feel pretty stupid for not digging a bit further before asking.
After I decided to go ahead with the sdcard format using CWM, I noticed that the space was still being used somewhere. After I started to dig a bit, I noticed that all of my apps still worked after the format. Basically, the extra space is being consumed by the /data/app folder housing all user apps. CWM must be designed to ignore this directory when formatting the internal sdcard which is why there was still some storage being used.
I feel like an ubernoob for asking this, but my S2's internal sdcard is not mapped to data/media, so I had to learn a bit better about how this thing works I suppose. Anyways, I hope this information can be useful to someone out there having similar questions.

Although that is a similar problem, I asked if there is a way to fix it without going that route? I appreciate your reply, but I already knew it could be resolved by going back to stock (2nd paragraph of my post).

I can accomplish a full format of the internal sdcard on my galaxy s2 without it affecting the rom in any way whatsoever and it is running cwm 6.0.1.0 also. From how I understand it, the partitions are set up differently on the s2 and this device. The s2 has a separate partition for the internal sdcard making it possible to format via cwm. On this device, the sdcard is part of the data partition meaning wiping it will leave you with no rom installed and no storage on the sdcard. I think all versions of cwm can wipe the slate clean, it is just a matter of everything else being wiped clean also. But, if you are aware of a cwm that let's me accomplish this, I would love to find it. Thanks again.

I have the straight talk version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. I am aware the i777 and the straight talk S595G are the same exact phone. But my question is...installing a ROM. I do not have a microSD card to use, and I wanted to know if I could use the internal storage on my phone to install a ROM. From a quick research session, I learned you have to wipe the data and cache, but I am unsure if that will wipe the internal storage...where the ROM.zip would be.
Simple terms, can I install custom ROM using the internal storage instead of an SD card.
The hardware is the same, but the memory partitioning is different and there is a different way to flash custom firmware. Please see this thread.

I read it. That didn't answer my question...will wiping all the things that need to be wiped get rid of everything on the internal storage.
Would appreciate it if you'd be more courteous to those offering free help.
Doesn't matter where you put the rom as long as you know where to find it in recovery when you're flashing it. A factory reset from recovery won't delete anything on your internal card, nor will formatting /system. If you do it from within the rom itself, like in the settings menu, then you WILL lose everything from your internal card.
That's why it's best to only do these things in recovery.

Hey everyone
I have recently bought an android tablet with KitKat and 16 GB internal storage.
But there were just 1gb available memory for installing apps and the remaining 11 GB were USB storage.
As I didn.t like this I tried to partition flash memory with mini partition tool wizard home(or sth like that I donno the name exactly).
I have partitioned the flash memory as following: 3gb for internal storage(fat32), remaining memory for USB storage and 8mb as ext2( I completed this after a tutorial).
Everything was done ,I applied and then I reboot my tablet. When I entered link2sd said that cannot detect my partition. When I get to storage information I realized that I still had 1gb internal memory, but 445mb USB storage. I was a bit panicked so I tried to wipe data, but didn't work. When I tried to repartition the flash memory with mini part tool , the computer couldn't connect to my tablet storage.
I have lost my internal memory(most of it) and now I want to recover it as it was stock.
Plsssss help me I have root access and I think there is a way to fix with root explorer but I don't no it so hopefully you guys understand my issue and help me.
Thanks

Are you rooted?
Edit: nvm you are I see.
You have to use an external SD card for link2sd, does not work with internal storage.

Why would you repartition your storage to a windows (fat32) partition? This is a Linux based system running on ext4. You may just have killed that partition without redoing your device from the boot loader up.

You will need some sort of default rim update with the correct partitions. It will wipe your device if you can find one. Which depends on the device. You. At have corrupted it beyond any repair you can do. Check the oem site as you. Ever stated what device it is.

OK don't take this the wrong way but you really seem to have no idea what your doing. No you can not fix a partition issue by replacing some system files. You messed the base system up. I would go to the oem site and forums and see if you can find something that will help you. Basically you will have to flash a rom from the boot loader. This should fix your issue. But with it being a minor brand device you may spend a long time finding it but I wish ukulele luck.

Oem stand for original equipment manufacturer. A google search may find it as I have never even heard let alone seen this device.
Now if/when you get it fixed I would advice you to do your proper research before doing something that could leave your device bricked and void your warranty. Age has nothing to do with it. My sons are the same age and know to spend a few hours or even days researching an issue before trying anything. Flashing your device is not an easy, no risk thing to do. It holds many risks as you have found out. I would read up on Linux a bit
