Rogers S3 i747 need some serious help and advice
Ive spent the last 9 hours trying to find a solution to this issue and I cant seem to wrap my head around it, so I am kindly asking for some help.
I was attempting to flash the CM 10.1 12/18/2012 yesterday but every time I flashed it...the data was not working. I tried 12/17, 12/16 files but still the same issue.
So finally I gave up hope and I tried to flash back to the CM M2 experimental. I was using this before and other than the occasional force closes and once a week reboots at least it was useable.
So after I flashed everything again, of course with wiping the data and what not for the proper procedures, I was trying to load up my apps again from Google. About 15 apps in I get the message that there is not enough room? Puzzled I went to see why this was....
My internal memory of 12gigs only has available 678megs... WTF???????
Ive tried to locate how this was possible, but no programs I use can seem to see why the space is taken up. The funny thing is...all the movies and songs and pictures from the internal SD are still there. They can be seen on the phone play lists and picture lists. BUT I cant access the internal SD card!!!!
I am at a loss for solutions. I dont know what I did wrong here.
Ive reflashed Odin. Ive reflashed all the roms. I was able to finally mount the SD from Clockword MOD, but still no sign of these files.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated at this point as Im about to give up.
ps..has anyone gotten CM10.1 to work with data? cause everytime I used it... it kept saying No Internet Connection
PLEASE HELP.... :silly::crying::crying::crying:

If I'm reading that correctly, that isn't even an image for any sort of S III, being instead for a variant of the S II.

This, on the other hand, should be the right (pre-rooted) image for your device.
Well, its the right i747image for a Canadian variety.
Verify these folders.
Verify in your internal SD Card if you have these directories:
/storage/emulated/0
and
storage/emulated/legacy
And by /storage I believe it means just the internal SD Card root directory.
According to a post, CM10.1 for some reason makes a copy of the entire contents of your internal sd card to these folders after installing it... not exactly sure why. Take a look at the link below for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35646339&highlight=emulated#post35646339
I simply formatted the SD Card through CWM Recovery after flashing back to stock ROM and the space was recovered, you will however lose data unless you try and take the contents out from these folders to your PC first.

My phone is missing 20GB of internal storage and I've done everything to get it back. Please help!
I am fairly certain it is related to an I/O error while trying to move files in my Android Play Music directory which is located at:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
I tried deleting but that didn't help. I then went booted into recovery and did a factory reset PLUS formatted /System and then installed a ROM from scratch. I am still missing the 20GB. Any thoughts?
Storage does not simply disappear. Try using the app "DiskUsage" and see where all the storage is being used.
did you try formatting sdcard via recovery or fastboot command?
It might some old nandroids you forgot about Go to setting > storage wait for a few seconds let it analyze then check where the space is good luck .. if nothing works out you can always flash factory image that cleans up everything

That sounds just like the emmc bug, search it.
Also get the app /emmc brick bug. It will show if the memories lost. I'm not saying it is this but it's the same. If it's gone there are two apks you can get that swap SD card for built in. It leaves the system bit alone
Tried to put pick but says need to upgrade app even though got it today!
As you can see it works. One apk swaps, the other undo's it.

Thank you all for the advice! I could have SWORN I deleted all my old nandroids but apparently I had not. One of the backups had 20GB of google music in it
Gosh I wish google music didn't get backed up by clockworkmod, but I digress...
so my wife's gs3 was stock rooted...made backups of everything including a nandroid. everything was on the internal memory. i've flashed carbon rom and now cannot seem to find anything. internal appears to be what was on her sdcard. yet when i go into settings-storage sdcard is greyed out without an option to mount. connecting to a pc only gives me one option to connect to. i can't even restore the nandroid. it's been a while since i've been off of a nexus personally so i'm hoping this is something easy i've overlooked and any help is appreciated, thank you

All your files are intact, they have just been moved around since you flashed the carbon rom.
If you had any nandroid backups they are intact too.
Read the following article and you will see exactly where they are using a file manager like root explorer.

thanks...i'm aware of the recovery issues going into 4.2....and i've been using a root file manager. yet i'm still unable to find any other storage. i didn't wipe it but this was probably the first time i didn't save everything to the pc before flashing. i have so much crap backed up from her previous phones that i will never need. f+cking murphy's law...and while i could be mistaken, this shouldn't have an effect on the sdcard not being able to mount, no?

Have you found this folder yet? /sdcard/0 using a file manager like root explorer or any other

This information should be accurate enough for OP to find his files.
The SD cards have a lot of symlinks in Android. The one true path for your internal SD is /data/media. Your files are there.

hmm....this always confused me now...i do have the sdcard0 available but not sdcard1 (completely empty)...is 1 the actual sdcard? bottom line, there are other pictures of hers i'm not seeing now and rom toolbox is telling me there is nothing backed up as far as text messages. where ever they're located be it sdcard or internal i just need to find them.

in any case, i believe my card is corrupted. i appreciate the help everyone has tried to give though...thanks to you all
/data/media/ is honestly all you really need to know.. Every single folder/file that exists within your internal storage lie within that directory. Once you find what you're looking for you can take it from there.

Do you have TWRP? You can navigate the same directories using the file manager there or you can simply go into Settings > Storage and look through the categories in which are taking up the most space and remove what you can to then download a root browser and go from there.

try flashing a stock ROM with Odin and using .PIT file for re-partitioning .....however ssh somebody mentioned the n7105 don't come or have .pit files anymore...I'm not sure..do the research and see...cause pit files tell the Odin how to format and layout the phone during the flashing process..

More info: Once i plug in my note 2 on a pc i cant transfer files to my external sd card it will just hang at transfering.
The strange thing is when am on my phone i go to | settings > Storage |my total space is 0.0b |Application 598mb| and when i hold my home button and i go to storage it shows my |system storage 817mb/10.22gb | sd card 4.72gb/7.41gb|
I remember before i had this problem i went to odin and i press nand erase all and a stock rom and flash them together and once i on my phone i cant pass through samsung logo and i when to samsung recovery( i hold the power button, home button and vol up button) and i went to press wipe data/factory reset and once i press reboot system now i got this error with no signal and internal storage 0.0 ... once i got this i panic and i went to flash wanamlite rom and i got my signal back and when i flash back a normal stock rom my signal will be lost again..

whenever you mess up your phone badly it's wise to go back to stock rather than flashing other ROMs cause other ROMs will be subjected to a messed up environment as they are generic and thus may complicate things further...Samsung ROMs on the other hand when used with.pit files can 're format / re partition the phone in a standard format.
answering your question on the pit file issue.... download Odin v 1.87 not the newer versions as sometimes they cause issues unless this version fails... put the .pit file in the pit section of Odin, place your stock ROM on the PDA section of Odin, you can add a csc as well I think it's related with regional settings of some sort..Google it I'm not sure but it's not very necessary, you can add a modem in the modem section also tick RE-PARTITION and tick reboot after Odin completes. however I'm just warning you...these are risky procedures proceed at your own risk

I've the same problem ! No IMEI, no baseband, no internal memory (sdcard). Only the external one is accesible. Over USB i can not copy any file to external sd and internal sd shows -104857600 Bytes. I've already tried to repartition with a pit file, flash stock with odin, flash tons of roms with cwm/twrp. Nothing is working.

Haiii I dun think there is anyway to fix by our self :0 .this because I went down to Samsung shop and they fix it for me :0 gl
Team,
I have been researching for hours and am quite confused on which avenue to take to recover my soft brick. Information overload:crying:
Here is what happened and I will provide as much info as I can so please bare with me. After OTA upgrading to 4.3 and rooting successfully using the CF Auto Root. I was attempting to get my wifi hotspot working again using the Wifi mod and mucked around and installed the wrong mod (Odexed MK4). This rendered me stuck at the glowing samsung screen and it goes no further. Ive tried to factory reset, wiped cache and rebooted several times. Boots fine into recovery and download mode.
So after hours of searching, reading (its 3:50am est) and testing solutions I am no closer to a fix than I was when I started. I am currently waiting on a stock rooted rom to download in an attempt to flash back to stock but its taking hours to download.
However I just noticed, as I am typing this thread, that I can no longer
1. Mount as an usb external drive in recovery (TWRP v 2.3.1.0) I have Samsung drivers installed (1.5.14.0) so I get the indicator sound from windows that I sees the phone.
2. If I attempt to manually browse through my files using the recovery there are no files inside my internal sdcard directories.
/sdcard There are three directories there
/0 /obb /TWRP and the only folder that has files inside is the TWRP folder.
Im floundering here. I cannot even mount and install files on the phone to even attempt to flash back to stock. Can I get some fresh angles ladies and gents? I am at a loss.

Good morning (not really, I assume, sorry). So where are you at? Not sure what you mean that you cannot install files on the phone... Can you get into download mode and your computer recognizes the phone? If yes, can you do what you started to say - odin stock rooted? Or... if you can get into a custom recovery but your internal sd card has been wiped, can you put a stock rooted ROM in zip format on an external sd card, put that sd card into your phone, and flash in custom recovery?

Here is the problem...the ROM I have is in zip format and based on what I have been reading I cannot install via Odin. Due to the fact that the phone refuses to mount as an external storage device I have no way of placing data on the the internal or external card. The only recourse I have now it to attempt to find an adapter to be able to mount this microsd card to my PC. I am out of town and have no idea where I could find one.....uggggh. Ill keep you posted.

You always have the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option inside your Recovery. But if that doesnt work use your downoad mode and Reset in KIES. but whatever you do, now that you have upgraded to 4.3 DO NOT try and dowgrade. it will cause a hard brick.
You did the ota update which put KNOX on your phone which is bad especially if you have a warranty. There is currently no way to get rid of it. I read a while ago the peoples phones has been getting bricked because they were trying stuff.
Anyway the only option I guess you have is to use your computer and reset your phone using kies. It will flash your phone back to stock in download mode.

I am glad you were able to get use of your phone back. I wish I had seen this thread sooner. I was in exactly the same boat a couple of weeks ago, only mine lasted 3 days. I even bought a new GS4 when I thought my phone was dead. Took it back when someone finally helped me do what you did. It's a helpless feeling when you have been rooting and Romming for years safely. Sure seems like a sticky thread is in order for this specific issue. As you can see, I haven't got enough history for credibility on this forum since I rarely post. Oh well.

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.
