So i just tried to flash to the latest viper-rom from 4.3.0 and it looked like everything went fine but now nothing saves on my internal memory and my back-ups and files are no longer there. I tried to paste 4.3 back from my computer and it freezes up and disconnects my phone. The internal memory still shows 17.1 gb free of 24.8gb... What can I do to fix this?
I also tried to download the rom directly to my microsd card on my phone and transfer it to the internal memory and it wouldn't let me transfer it

I only just started having this issue after flashing 4.2.1. I am trying to put a new update on my phone, but when I have it connected to my PC and click Internal Storage, it's empty and there are no folders or anything, although it shows the space used and available. I tried putting the update in there, but when I booted my phone into recovery, I couldn't seem to find the zip I put in there.
This is always how I've done it previously.
What's going on here?! Am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks
i think i heard that some roms have trouble mounting the sd card not 100% sure though
Hey everyone, pretty much first serious post. Hope someone can help me with it.
I have an At&t Galaxy s3, running the latest aokp rom, by task 650, its up to android 4.3
my issue is that i can add files to my phones internal sd card and its external sd card, but once i restart, the files are gone. all my files that i added even as long as a week or two ago are still there, even some things that i delete return once i reboot. i can move files from my internal sd card to the external and they stay after a reboot and vice versa. so i know that things can be added. but for some reason when i transfer music through windows file explorer to either sd card as soon as i reboot those files are gone. when i xfer the files it does say that "your device might not be able to play or view this file."
i can even play the music for a while after copying it as long as i don't restart, eventually it starts to go into hyperdrive so its a second of squiggles then goes to next song.
even if i transfer files through a wifi based app like air droid or just using an app to copying over a shared network the same thing happens.
i don't think that the internal sd card or external are corrupt because i can move files back and forth as long as they were on the device originally.
i don't know if i should reformat my external sd card because i doubt it would fix it then i'd be out of all my music.
really hoping someone can help me,
this was happening before i upgraded to 4.3 having done that only a day or two ago and it has been happening for at least a couple weeks, and it worked on the 4.2 version i had because i took me a couple months to upgrade to 4.3 and in that time i did add files to the internal and external.
last thing to mention, with a torrent phone app when i download files they also dissappear.
hope someone can help me with this, and that it's simple.
i'd rather feel dumb than it be something complicated.
thanks for any and all help yall can give.
update
I did a full clean install of the aokp rom i'm on wiiping everything instead of just the dalvik cache and cache, which normally works fine.
now the internal sd card retains the files i'm adding to it, even after a couple reboots. which is a step up. but the external still won't let me add files to it, even if i copy them over from my internal to the external using astro file manager or es file explorer. on restart files are gone from the external. i don't think that the external sd card is corrupt but i'm copying all the file off of it right now, then plan to reformat. not sure how i'll go about it, but i really hope it works.
this is really frustrating, its a 64gb external micro sd card that has always worked perfectly.
any input at all would be a great help.
update 2
my external sd card is the problem then i guess, because i put it in my brothers phone, did reformat, and it says reformating deleting all data. then remounts it.
shows exact same amount of available space and storage, stuck at 42.2gb or whatever, if i go into the sd card manually and delete files as soon as i reboot the phone all the files are back.
is there anyway to fix this?
So With my phone I flashed CM12 and its telling me that theres insufficient storage now, so I figured that I would go back to Carbon ROM but it keeps telling me the same thing even though I havent downloaded anything. I look at the internal storage and it says that out of the 4gb I now only have 450mb free, I tried erasing the internal storage but only goes to 480mb. I went through here and found the thread for making the storage bigger with an sdcard but now it wont even let me download the Link2SD app or move apps to the sd card with CM12 because it keeps telling me insufficient storage. Any help on what I can do? Can I flash everything back to stock and root it all over again? What files can I delete from the system to free more storage?

i have the same problem
I flashed stock and factory reset the device through settings instead of recovery, seems to do the trick. Lol. Still cant get the link2sd thing to work though. It keeps telling me that there is no partition for the sd card. :/
I looked everywhere before I tried this today and found very little info so I thought I'd post my successful dirty flash of LineageOS.
I've been using Unofficial LineageOS on my Note 10.1 (2014) LTE (SM-P605) for a little while now and it has rejuvenated my tablet. Recently I integrated the SD Card (64GB) to internal storage (16GB) and now storage is listed as 73.15GB. However updating LineageOS became a problem in TWRP 3.0 as TWRP doesn't see the 'downloads' folder etc... because the SD Card is no longer external storage and TWRP can't read it, doesn't see it as storage at all actually.
But I solved this by putting the OS and vendor images on a USB drive and used an OTG adapter which TWRP can use. ADB and Fastboot work fine, by the way, with the SD Card as internal storage. As I understand it the ROM, system, vendor, radio, bootloader partitions etc... are still on the 'real' internal storage so my updates have gone smoothly AND I save storage space by not putting the ROM's etc on my device. I run a rooted device so I can set the kernel to permissive and that way the SD Card is recognized on boot as shared storage. Sometimes on reboot it isn't recognized and I have to take the card out and reinsert it to get LineageOS to read it correctly. The only error if that happens seems to be dropbox and photos apps crash at first as they must check the missing area for files at boot. But they work correctly once the card is reinserted.
YMMV

In my system settings 'storage' is listed now as:
Internal shared storage - 9.93GB used of 14.68GB,
Sandisk SD Card - 14.51GB used of 58.48GB.
For a total of 73.15GB
Running Lineage 14.1-20170422-Unofficial-lte03lte
with latest radio, vendor, bootloader and gapps (Bean, mini).
As a side note; back up your internal storage encryption key on another device so you can decrypt your SD Card later if needed. Just sayin'

I just recently bought a demo mode 605 model and can't seem to get booted into twrp. It puts me at the yellow triangle. Do you have any tips, please.

So I recently decided to upgrade from omni to CrDroid, so I wiped dalvik/data/system/cache AND internal storage. I then copied over the crdroid and gapps images, installed it. Now once I get into android, everything seems to work fine except that I cant read/write to anything in internal storage (cant install some apps from play store due to internal storage being unavailable), even though there are some files in there (crdroid/gapps images). I can access internal storage when the phone is connected to my PC via twrp though.
Any ideas?
Edit:
Formatted data in twrp (rather than just wipe) and that fixed it.
