I recently installed CM10 (The JellyBean one) and played with it for a while. I jumped back to Phantom's ICS rom. For some reason, my phone isn't recognizing anything on internal storage. I don't have an SD card (external) in the phone because I've always had enough room internally. What do I need to do to fix it? I'm assuming it's something that CM did when I installed it, but how do I move backwards?
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
Just flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean rom. Everything is looking good, I got all the google apps. But the phone can't seem to find the external sd card (I have all my music on it as well as SMS backups).
When I plug the phone into the computer I can see and browse through the external SD card.
How do I make it so the phone can see the external sd card? I have tried mounting it in clockwork storage/mounts and it didn't work. I will have to revert to stock rom, if this rom doesn't support externals, that's so important.
You may have to try another Rom and see if you get the same thing. I'm on aokp and everything is fine. I have music and downloads on the external sd. This phone supports the external sd but it also doesn't. It can read from it but it doesn't save to it unless you have a mod installed.

Format it in your pc then put it in your phone. My 64gb works great on aokp
I would never release a rom that doesn't support external sdcards. it where i keep everything including my music. it works just fine.

I had the same confusion when I first installed AOKP. I was upgrading from stock ROM, which was Gingerbread originally, I think. Anyway, I found that the SD card is now located at "/mnt/emmc", which is a link to "/storage/sdcard1", so my SD card was still accessible but just under a different directory.
Try pointing any apps you're using that can't 'see' the external SD card to use the new Favourite or Directory to the new mount point "/mnt/emmc" instead of "external_sd".

I am new here and I am scared I messed up my S3. I installed the CM 10.1 nightly build 12.18.12 yesterday and my file system is messed up. The original files that I had on my phone are hidden, I can't see them. I don't even get the option to look in the 0/ folder while browsing the internal memory, I don't see anything. In addition, I'm using a FAT32 formatted microSD but the phone won't store anything on it. When I plug the phone into my computer in MTP mode with the SD card installed, I can see the internal memory if I click on the SD card and nothing if I try to click on the internal memory. Without the card installed, nothing comes up. Most importantly, I have two clockworkmod recovery files on my internal memory that I can't access when I go into recovery, it says that it can't find them. I can see the folder, only with the micro SD installed even though everything in on the internal memory, if I go to install from zip and look for them. I don't know how to get clockworkmod recovery to see, access, and install the recovery to get my phone back to the way it was. PLEASE HELP!!!
Is it possible to just unroot and have my phone go back to "day 1" when I got the phone out of the box?
Same issues for me

I am having the same issues. I have tried to move files with the phone connected via USB to my computer and also though the file explorer on the phone and I can't. Not sure why CM 10.1 was set up to mess with the file formatting, etc, but it screwed stuff up. I have tried going back to CM 10 (which is awesome and very stable) but I don't have the right gapps and can't get the right ones installed...
Anyone have any ideas on how to return the files to the original locations?
There isn't a way for you to go back to day one unless you download the original ROM and flash it. Good luck get that installed at this point though...

To get back to day 1 just flash a stock rom from the stock rom thread in OG development using Odin. That will bring you back to either out of the box ics or newest jellybean update, depending on which one you choose.
Hey Guys,
Earlier today I made a mistake. I'm on 4.2.1 Xylon. I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel (francos) onto my phone. I flashed one for 4.1.2.
After noticing my mistake, I had to use the toolkit to flash on the proper 4.2.1 kernel img as the phone would not turn on.
This worked and my phone turned on and looked ok.
However when I tried to access the gallery, play store, camera, they all didn't work. When I load the gallery, I get error messages saying 'No external storage available'. After seeing this, I went and plugged in my phone to the pc and had a look. The computer couldn't even read the internal memory.
After this I tried formatting the virtual SD card and pretty much reformatted the phone back to it's original state. When that was done, I loaded it up to check if it fixed the memory issues, but they were still there!
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on how this can be resolved? This is really annoying!
Thank you so much.
Kevin A.
I will apologize in advance for acting the village idiot but i don't get it.
I have been running the script to swap my card for the internal memory.
I have tried both Clean Rom 5.0 and Jedi x16
Tried both with different Kernels
Same Result, I get it to "Work" in that I see the "internal" memory as my 64gig card
However
All apps are still loading to the actual phone memory.
I am at a complete loss as to how I fix this. ill attempt to anwser some of the questions you may have in order to help me........
I am currently running Clean Rom 5.0 with perseus alpha36
card was formatted
ran script properly............Must have or I would have seen the swap under "storage"
Is there a step im missing? I see under app manager that the apps are still going to the actual phone memory.
I hope that made some level of sense and someone can help me out.
What is your micro Sd format?
Fat32

Seriously, nobody can help????
i'm sorry bud, but android ICS and higher version are not allowed to move apps from Internal to SD. Google made the changes, but there are ways to do this and i assume you are rooted. Here it is, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550, directory bind, i used it for a while, it works.
I have a working zip for this, it swaps the internal and external memory. You still need it?
I believe folder mount may be of some use to you.

Hi, I'm new here (less than 10 posts), so I can't post this to the correct thread, but I was wondering how much internal space (device memory) is left after flashing a ROM like Villuminati 4.4.4 or Vanir? I am coming from a GB27 JB ROM and my external SD doesn't work, so I only have the internal SD with the device memory, and I'm not going to flash something that leaves me with little room for apps. I appreciate any feedback.

Go ahead and flash either. I have a spare phone with no external card and I have flashed Liquid Smooth, Villuminati, Revolt, PAC ROM, Dirty Unicorns and Wild for the night with no problems adding apps. Plus I believe the space needed for ROMs have nothing to do with the internal memory. In my opinion Villuminati or Vanir would be the best ones right now. Liquid Smooth is still unable to send MMS other than that, it is a banging ROM. Vanir has the ability to turn off the hardware keys individually as well as a phone proximity setup that switches to speaker if you move the phone from you ear. I would recommend getting an external SD card, but you do not need one to flash a ROM.
Hey, I appreciate it. Ya my external SD doesn't actually work on my phone, I've tried different micro SDs, and tried formatting several different ways, but it keeps giving me prompts saying the card is damaged or unmounted. I will try and flash Vanir later today.:good:
