Hello again everyone,
Today while looking at settings-->"SD and Phone Storage", Astro File manager and talking with a friend thats using a capivate phone i was wonderning about the phones internal storage and its relation to the SD card.
Is the internal Phone storage the same as the SD card except obvously you cant upgrade or remove the phone storage?
If a ROM upgrade or different ROM install is preformed will i loose the files on the Internal Phone storage?
Thanks
NO, you will not loose your files on your internal storage by flashing a ROM. What might happen is the ROM doesn't yet support internal storage (most do now). Then you would not be able to access or use the internal storage even though the files are there. Like others have said make sure you read the channel logs and known issues log to see if the rom does support the internal storage. I hope this helps.
Great!
Thanks
Hello,
I´m on a stock ROM, that I have only rooted. Nothing else is done to the phone.
I have been using Android´s built in encryption for both internal and external memory cards,without any issues, since a few months.
When I woke up this morning and started my phone (the battery had died) I couldn´t mount the encrypted external microSD card. I got an error stating that the memory card couldn´t be mounted because it needs at least 1 MB of free storage.
Before I went to bed I started a torrent download on the phone to the external memory card. Apparently that must have filled the whole memory card (I had only 2GB left of free space) and then the battery must have died.
So, the error message says I need to remove some files to "encrypt" (mount) the memory card How do I remove files from the memory card if I can´t mount it? Can I mount the encrypted memory card on a PC with a card reader?
I´m NOT interested in formatting the card since I have invaluable material on the memory card. The most important issue for me is to not loose my data.
Please help me if you have any insight into this problem.

Re: [Q] Unable to mount encrypted external microSD
You rooted?
If yes then try aroma file manager or twrp.
If not try card reader option as well.

Hi,
I am rooted yes. But I have the stock recovery manager as far as I know.
I couldn't find any "Aroma file manager" and don't know what TWRP is. I searched the play store for twrp and found different recovery managers.
Could you be more specific? My problem is that the card won't mount since the system states that it requires at least 1MB free memory on the card. The same card I cannot mount. So as I see it I'm in a catch 22.
Has anyone any knowledge of how to mount a encrypted memory card on a PC? What OS should I use, any particular software?
Thanks...
Ok, I tried using a memory card reader on a windows PC.
The files didn´t look encrypted at all. This is VERY weird. Either the files are individually encrypted or something or they weren´t encrypted at all
I could see all files, their names and the file sizes I removed about a GigaByte of crap and inserted it into my phone again
The phone mounted the memory card without any problems.
So this was actually a non-issue.
Problem solved!

My experience is that files are individually encrypted. You can navidate the directory structure and see all files but cannot open them.
internal storage is not being shown :S
phone is not being mounted
help !
i need to recover the internal storage of my phone. does anyone know how to create a "raw image file" of an android's internal storage? thanks.
Crome cannot recognise internal storage and one drive does too. I guess every app which does not have their own file manager or use default one cannot recognise internal storage. Help me plz
