Storage Problem - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi;
Before a while, i had installed the MultiRom (when using 4.4.4). But i didn't liked it and uninstalled. For getting OTA, i return to stock recovery, installed stock RUU and got OTA successfully. I installed Team Recovery and MaximusHD 11. When i had checked the intertal storage in Recovery mode, it shows 16 GB internal. But when i check from ES file explorer or any application about storage, all of them shows 10.58GB internal storage.. Is it expected or did MultiRom created any partition that i can't see...

This is expected. A certain amount of space is allotted for the system partition, and others. ES File Explorer will only show the internal storage space, which excludes the other partitions. I've got the 32GB model, and ES File Explorer only shows 25GB.
If you go to Settings -> Storage, what does it say there? It should say 16GB. If it doesn't, then there's a problem.

Internal storage = empty or unmounted

I had Kitkat 4.4.2 EUR V20A installed then attempted to install ArtMid 5.2.2 with OTA kernel 5.3, via CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.8. I had to perform full wipe and then a format /system partition, then I installed the ROMs as usual. The issue is that it caused a security boot error, and then all I could do is flashing stock 4.1.2 kdz. It flashed successfully, but now internal storage can't be seen. When I go to "USB connection type" menu and choose "Media sync (MTP)". It is mounted correctly and I can see the LG device, but there's nothing in "internal storage", no folers, completely empty.
When I connect my phone with LG Phone Software, "memory" amount is 0 GB. Attached is a screenshot of Internal Storage menu. How can I mount internal storage again? Flashing stock KDZ again? Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention that in Apps>All, I can see the following info at the bottom: 539 MB used 25GB free

[Q] Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 nandroid backup question using Philz Touch recovery

Phone: Galaxy Grand GT-I9082, stock ROM Jellybean 4.2.2, rooted.
OK. I've searched enough and have a question I couldn't find an answer to.
I know how to, and have sucessfully performed a nandriod backup on this phone, but the location it is deposited is not where I want it. The file is located on my internal sd card, but there isn't much room there.
Using Rom Manager 5.5.3.7, the "Backup current ROM" location is set to "storage/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup". This is where I want it to go, but it doesn't.
Selecting this re-boots into recovery - Philz Touch 6.58.7 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1, which mounts "/storage/sdcard1". This I know is my internal sd card location because of the size noted, but this is not where I want the backup. I want it to go to the location Rom Manager is directing it to go.
Question is how do I set the navigation to this location for the back up in Philz Recovery?
Thanks from the NOOB for any insight.

Did I hear noob?
Have no fear, noob is here!
Sdcard1 is external.
Sdcard0 is internal.
Maybe u have 8gb sdcard?
Also, out of 8gb internal, 4gb is gobbled up by system, rest only 4gb is usable and shows up. So you were seeing external SD, not internal.

Thanks for the info Noobin.
Actually I had just installed a new 64GB SanDisk class 10. When either selecting sdcard0 or sdcard1, they were showing the same space available.
I'll try it again selecting sdcard1 and see what happens. What I had to do last time was copy the file over to ext sdcard using file explorer, then deleting it from internal memory, it was almost completely filled up.
At least you cleared up which sdcard was which, thanks for that.
OK this is what I got.
In Philz under backup and restore: I can select two option:
/sdcard - selecting this shows 3135mb free, 2093mb needed. This is located in internal memory.
/storage/sdcard1 - selecting this shows 401mb free, 2093mb needed. This also is internal.
File explorer only shows these available:
/storage/extsdcard. This is located at the external 64gb memory.
/storage/sdcard0 - this is located in internal memory.
In Philz under advanced menu - sdcard target: there are only two option that toggle:
/data/media/0. This is internal memory
/data/media. This is internal memory also.
File explorer shows both to be located in internal memory.
How can I configure Philz to navigate to /storage/extsdcard under backup and restore selection.
Should I just install another recovery over Philz? I have this at the ready - 4.2-THL-CWM-Touch-6.0.3.6-Baffin-Odin (tar file) using Odin.
Thanks,

Phone not reading internal storage

I performed a wipe via recovery today, and now my phone won't read the data within Internal Storage. The wipe DID NOT delete pictures and other media files, and the "storage" page in Settings still reports that 21.81 GB of space are occupied. However, I can't access my media files. If I navigate to the "emulated" folder using a file manager, it just says it's empty. Apps can't properly utilize my internal storage.
I know that the files and whatnot are still there for several reasons. One, like I said, my phone still reports over 21 GB being used. Two, if I go into my recovery as if I was to flash a .zip, I can explore my internal storage and all the files are still there. My ROM just cannot read them. I'm on stock rooted and debloated 5.0.2. Please help!

"No External Storage"

I have an old HTC One X running Android 5.1 (Pacrom), and TWRP recovery.
I think my dad screwed something up yesterday because the phone literally has NO internal storage. It doesn't exist. The phone just isn't registering the internal storage. I can install apps (due to that partitioning) but I can't take pictures, download files, etc.
I need to fix this within the next couple days, as my brother needs this phone.
What do I do? I'm not sure if ADB is working yet — but will that work with the lack of a storage folder?
In the TWRP File browser, there's no /storage or /sdcard but in the phone file browser, there is. It just can't be used. I can't mount storage either.
Any advice?
Maybe try formatting all partitions in TWRP?
If you haven't fixed yet.

I think the partition got some issue with it I dont know how to fix it. I flashed the rom using adb sideload only and that it also not worked properly for me, I lost some storage space in my internal storage now only 48gb available and can't able to flash properly, mount internal storage not working when connected to the computer now I can't able to fully wipe the interanl storage to flash the rom properly. Is there any way to fully format and repair to fix the partition error and to get the full max internal storage capacity.

Where does it show 0MB? In TWRP or the OS itself? If it's in TWRP, I think the problem is your storage is encrypted. So...it can't be read. Which is normal.
It shows the same on my G60. I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with your internal storage.
If you want, you can go to TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe, select Internal Storage. You might need to reflash the ROM after that, so you can boot back into the OS.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with these options too much. If it's not a real problem, I wouldn't worry about it.
You can also try a "Repair or Change File System".
I don't know about the MTP thing... Sounds like a driver issue.

in Twrp 0MB,
My internal storage is now only 48gb free after wiping everything was there more like 53gb something I remember.
MTP is media transfer portability to PC didn't work while in Twrp, was working before not now ,
I have tried repair, file system change.
I just wanna know one thing that how much free space left in the 64gb variant after wiping everything in the internal storage.

I don't know man... Some ROMs can take more space than others, which means you will have less space available for you. But I'm not sure I understand where you're getting that information from. Where is that displayed.
Also, I don't know about using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) from Recovery. If you know it used to work before...then I don't know. I never tried it from Recovery.

I can't. I don't have one... But maybe someone else with the same device can confirm.
