Fixed by locking bootloader and unlock it again = Autoformat of the internal SD

yesterday i flashed ics on my a100
i followed the instructions here and it worked
then I did a factory data reset and rooted my a100.
but now the problem:
when I connect my tablet to the pc, I see the internal storage and the sd card. on my a100 I see the internal storage and the sd card, too. but the sd card shows not the correct data. for example I have two videos on the sd card, but can't see them. the same with apk's. when I put them on the internal storage, I can see them with a file explorer(I tried different...ever the same). but the sd card is recognized, when I unmount and mount it.
can someone help me?
EDIT: I formatted my sd card. in the settings it shows that the sd card ist empty. but when I start a file explorer, it shows folders on the sd card. it seems like the file explorer apps didn't update the sd card file system??
Its worth noting that file explorer apps from the market default to /mnt/sdcard which is in fact your internal storage, if using astro you can navigate to /mnt/external_sdcard which is in fact your SD card

that awkward moment when you notice...
thank you!
before I flashed ICS I had no problem. ...learning from mistakes
Whenever I use a TW based ROM, I am able to use the file explorer to view both directories. Upon opening file explorer, it would default to the directory for internal storage. A folder in this directory labeled external_sd would then lead to the directory for the external SD card as advertised.
I realize however that CM9 and AOKP rename internal sd to emmc and external to sd card. The issue is, when using a file browser such as estrongs, the root directory defaults to sd card (aka the external storage) and it is impossible find the emmc. When downloading zips from the browser, the files are automatically saved to the emmc (internal) under the download folder, but on CM9/AOKP I can't figure out how to move files from emmc to sd card because I set TWRP to look at external only. Help?

If you enable root explorer in the settings of esfile explorer (free app) u can go to the internal like on tw roms

Try Astro File Manager, it comes up for me just fine.
I don't understand
Hello everyone.
I'm really sorry if I am repeating some other thread or if I am asking questions at the wrong forum. If so, please point me to the right direction.
I searched a lot on the internet about my issue but I can't find any solution for it.
I have a Moto Razr XT910 GSM and just installed AOKP based on Android 4.2.2.
I followed the instructions I found over the internet. They are the same, almost everywhere. So it worked just fine.
I wiped out delvik, cache and internal storage, then created a slot-2 partition with 1GB, where I flashed the ROM. It booted perfectly, and everything was working just fine until I started receiving an error message when I tried to install apps from Google Play. It said I had no space left on my internal storage.
The device I have comes with 8GB internal sdcard. I use my 32GB external sdcard to store music and it was not mounted when I flashed the ROM.
Now, when I go to system settings / storage, I can see I have two entries of internal storage: one with 0,98 GB of space, 150 MB available; and another with 8GB, 5,89GB available, which I can't access and neither can the OS. All the apps are being installed on the 0,98GB internal storage.
When I connect to my PC, it shows two mass storages: one, the external sdcard with 32GB; and the other, the internal sdcard with 8GB, but the Android OS does not recognize almost 6GB of it.
It is not an excess of files or trash, or rest of old OS files, nor anything like that. And all of the sudden I have this icon telling me my "storage space is running out". How can it be if I still have Almost 6GB of free memory? I don't understand,
Can anyone explain to me what is happening? Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Edit:
When I mounted my external sdcard, the OS started to install the app files on it, and not on my internal sdcard.
Also, my root explorer shows something wrong with the sdcard, and sdcard-ext. The files inside the sdcard folder are those from my external sdcard, and vice-versa.
Maybe that is the problem, but I am don't know how to solve it.
hi, im newbie here.. my usb storage always say full.. i dont move any apps to sd card.. so how do i solve this?? somebody help me. . :crying:
Transfer the big files of your sd card to the external sd card, so you'll have more space on internal sd card.

Swap SD Card. Get an external SD, then put it in. Move all the files from the internal to external sd After that, go to /system and find build.prop. scroll down and find "Change 1 to enable swapping SD cards" and change the 0 to 1. Ensure the system using R/W before editing. Save and reboot.

Sometimes when I flash a new rom files disappear but they are still taking up memory. I used Es File explorer to find them and deleted them. I was able to find the files but it will say it cannot find the location so it cannot delete them.
They are mostly music files and .zip files from roms, is their any way to delete them or format my phone without having to having to reinstall a bunch of stuff?
This happens because the new rom you flashed created a new partition on your phone.
2 fixes.
1. Restore previous rom and delete the internal storage. Our move it to the external so card.
2. If you don't mind losing the data. Format your internal SD card (media) in CWM

If I format my internal SD card will the phone still work fine? I don't mind losing any apps/media/files etc.
Yeah if you format the internal SD card data/media it will clear the space the phone will still work, but app data will be lost.

Hi
I have the Galaxy tab S 10.5 SM-T800 with stock rom
and when I delete files from EXTERNAL SD Card the space doesn't get affected by the deletion, I did that from both samsung stock file manager or from Samsung videos app of course because the device is not rooted
I've tried that for many times and still the same space (deleted files more than 2 GB)
I've tried also hooking the EXTERNAL SD Card to the PC using a card reader and removed couple of large files and the empty space increased perfectly but not from the Tab itself
I think you may be deleting stuff from the internal sdcard and not external.

Excuse me? I'm not following
I'm deleting from SD Card (The external SD Card) not the internal memory
As I stated I tried this from both the tab, and attaching the SD Card to a reader and plug into the PC
The external sd card is called something like ext_sd on the tab s. The internal storage is called sdcard.
Make sure you are deleting from the correct directory.
