Is there a way to either a) make the data partition larger than 2GB or b) do some kind of apps2sd even though ICS doesn't support it? I've been reinstalling everything since putting on the latest version of the rom and have plenty of internal (and external) SD space, but only a few megs left of my data partition for installations. Would the partition be possible through CWM up to 4GB or higher through nvflash?
You can increase or decrease the size allocated to /data as you wish. And you'll have to do it using CWM, not nvflash.
Do you want to keep your existing data while you increase the size of the /data partition?
I would prefer to save it. I had just planned to use Titanium and send it all up to Box.com (hooray for the free 50 gigs).
OK. Then, the easiest method is to use GParted.
0. Go to the Parted Magic website and download and burn the latest version of the Parted Magic CD or USB-stick image.
1. Boot into CWM, select the "mounts and storage" menu item, then unmount all mounted partitions. Do not back out of that screen--stay there until you're done.
2. Boot into PartedMagic, run Firefox and get the ADB binary from here. Save the adb.zip file into /tmp. Run these commands in a Terminal window:
Code:
[email protected]:~# [B]unzip -d /usr/local/bin /tmp/adb.zip[/B]
[email protected]:~# [B]chmod 500 /usr/local/bin/adb[/B]
3. Run these commands to make the internal SD card visible to GParted (use /dev/block/mmcblk2 for the external SD card):
Code:
[email protected]:~# [B]adb shell[/B]
~ # [B]echo /dev/block/mmcblk3 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file[/B]
4.Now run the Partition Editor (GParted) program and select the SD card device from the drop down list.
5. Resize the data partition by dragging the partition boundary, then select "Apply".
6. After the operation completes, exit GParted and run this ADB command to dismount USB storage:
Code:
[email protected]:~# [B]adb shell[/B]
~ # [B]echo '' > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file[/B]
7. Now back out of the "Mounts and Storage Menu" in CWM and reboot the gTablet.
I have all partitions unmounted in CWM, but when I try to do "adb shell" it gives me the "error: device not found" message.
EDIT: It was a driver issue. I'm repartitioning now and everything seems to be going well. Thanks!
I've encountered problems trying to access the external SD card on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S3.
There are entries in /mnt/ for both internal and external storage, namely the following mount points:
/mnt/sdcard/ - internal
/mnt/extSdCard/ - external
The former is mounted onto the filesystem as /sdcard/. Ideally I'd like to mount the external card instead. Based on information elsewhere on the site, I checked the /etc/void.fstab file with the intention of making changes. However I didn't find what I was expecting. Here's the relevant part of the file:
Code:
{
supported_exfat = yes
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1/
Based on this config I would have expected the external SD card to be mounted as /sdcard/. But clearly it isn't, and I don't understand why.
For the time being I am using Directory Bind to access external storage via /sdcard/external_sd/ but it would be easier to simply mount external storage as /sdcard/.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi,
Since my last upgrade of cynaogenmod nighties yesterday on my galaxy s2, my internal AND external sdcard are not mouting anymore
I tried to understand why and I found that my /storage folder was empty. I think it should have been populated by /init.smdk4210.rc script :
Code:
...
on early-init
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
mkdir /storage 0775 system system
mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0775 system system
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0775 system system
mkdir /storage/usbdisk0 0775 system system
...
I tried to mount /storage/sdcard0, but without success (in fact I am not sure to have the right method).
Extract of /system/etc/vold.fstab
Code:
...
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard0 /storage/sdcard0 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 nonremovable,encryptable
...
I thought that
Code:
mount /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 /storage/sdcard0
would have been sufficient, but unfortunately not (I tried with /sys/devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 to).
I would like to retrieve my internal sdcard content.
Thank you in advance,
Bill
Ok after some investigations it is a known bug from 20130121 cyanogen nighties.
To get back internal sdcard :
Code:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
You can find more information here : http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/63994-cm101-internal-sd-card-dont-mount/
Problem should be solved in future cyanogen nighties release https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_system_core/commit/7cc503720f1a8a6aa9481c5f9fd4552bc463a501

If you have adb on your computer (and an usb cable to connect your phone to the computer), type these commands on a terminal window :
Code:
adb root
adb shell
then (as stated in pervious post) :
Code:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
If you do not have adb on your computer, you may download a terminal emulatror application on your android, then type the 2nd block of commands given above.
May the Force be with you !
Erm, if you have the problem with CM10.2 20130821, this solution is sadly not working...
SD card not mounting
I have got a symphony w125 from Bangladesh. It was running afterwards. After 2/3 months I rooted it from androidkothon.com . But after some days I got a notification... "Preparing phone memory
Checking for errors"
I neglected it and thought it'll be fine soon. But it won't. When I opened ES file manager, it showed me SD card unmounted. (Both for internal & external) .I tried my 16 GB m SD card inserting again. but it again showed the same notification . Then I did once "factory reset' and once "clear eMMC". Then also the same thing happened. While running suddenly shows system ui not responding automatically turns off. Then it doesn't start until I open the battery and insert it again. How to get my storage back now...?
sir i have a spreadtrum phone its board is sp6820gb_7620 and cpu id is 8810 cpu frequency is 1ghz and ram is 512mb with mali 300 gpu,

i know the problem has been solved but...
i had the same issue. what i did was run the command:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
but it only takes effect after a reflash of the rom. after reboot for me, it never fixed and would never mount, but after a clean flash of the rom i was using, it seemed to mount fine. so you must reflash, as reboot does not do anything.
Cannot mount internal sd card
I just flashed my honor 4x with flyme Custom ROM
but now my phone doesn't mount my internal sd card
I tried running these commands on shell using ADB, but it doesn't fix the issue
Pleasr help me out here
Thanks
My phone is a BluLifeOne 2015. One day it stopped booting past the logo so I tried to reflash stock with QFIL to no avail. I no longer can access recovery or OS but I can boot into fastboot and boot into TWRP with the command fastboot boot recovery.img. When I try and format the system it says 0mb and can't mount data, cache or system (argument invalid). The internal storage, data, cache and system are all showing as 0mb and I've tried to change file system on all of them but it does not change the size or give me access to the internal storage. I also tried to flash a zip file but same invalid arguments everytime. Can someone help.
I wanted to have the fast SD Card, just to make the overall performance of my phone just a little better, and since my phone model (LG Optimus F7 everything has to be linked to SD card because the "external sd card" is a partition of the built in internal giving 1.27 gig of space - On a current gen phone! Jellybean!)
So I have a SanDisk Ultra 32 gig chip - active chip - partioned into 2 partitions - 1 Fat 32 and 1 ext4
The new card is a Micro Center Circle(10) HC 32 gig chip - partitioned into 2 partitions - 1 fat 32, and 1 ext 4
I have a multi-card reader for my laptop, when I try my main chip the fat32 partition can only have the files copied off, and the ext4 partition won't mount. So I can't just copy the files because any files on second mount are inaccessable. (I just thought while typing this I could makesure partition 1 is bigger than 2, use built in file manager copy all of partition 2 onto 1 on sd card, copy onto computer).
Anyway, I'll try that, but I was wondering if I transfered as much material, then made a back up of my rom, factory reset, re-installed backed up rom but with other sd card in, wouldn't the rom put the files on the sd card where they were? It won't know I switched?

Hi, I setup adoptable storage on my Galaxy A01 some months ago, and I've just noticed it stopped working. I believe I got it working just by making a private partition with
Code:
sm partition disk:179,64 private
. I believe I only moved media to it.
I just got an out of space warning, and upon investigating, the Storage Settings said the SD card was corrupt. Below is some information from my adb session. It appears all my files are intact, but I can't adopt the storage again. Is there any way for new media (camera photos and videos) to be stored in the SD card?
Code:
a01q:/ $ sm list-disks
disk:179,64
1|a01q:/ $ sm list-volumes
private:179,66 unmountable 60a39f7b-134a-45aa-9354-2571924e3ffd

@jayenashar
If
Code:
sm has-adoptable
returns false then your device doesn't support the Adptable Storage feature.
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks. I didn't know that's what that means.
But I'm a bit confused as I did set it up and migrated the media to it in the first place. I even saw options to move apps over, but I chose not to as I was afraid something like this would happen.
Is there a way I can change it to public without losing my media?

Because your device doesn't support Adoptable Storage the external SD-card - at a whole or in part - never became an extension to device's internal memory, therefore never got reformatted and encrypted. Means it was left "public" as it was when you 1st time plugged it in.
Moving apps ( their data ) onto external SD-card - what is the opposite to convert SD-card to Adoptable Storage - only is possible if developer of apps in question allowed this. The good thing is that this process is reversible, so if you should decide you want the app back on device's internal storage, you can move it again at any time.
Last 2 cents:
Once you adopt an SD card as system storage, you can't remove it unless you want to factory reset the device - what causes complete data loss. That's because system files for apps and settings now live on the card and if you turn the phone on without it, things will go haywire and never be able to recover: the system expects and needs certain files to be in a specific place.

But why does it appear as private when i do `sm list-volumes`?
At the moment, I'm not too concerned with public/private/adoptable or whatever. I thought it was adopted but I guess I'm just confused.
Somehow the card keeps getting marked as corrupt, or the "emulated:179,66" volume keeps getting unmounted. What's my best course of action? My ideal ending state would be that all the media is on the SD card (currently it seems the old media is there but new media is on the internal storage), and that any new media (camera images, videos, screenshots) are on the SD card. I can backup and restore with adb if I need to reformat the SD card.
