so I have a rather big problem here. My internal SD-card on my I9000 does not accept any changes(delete/write/move).
The funny thing is that I can actually copy files to my sd and delete files. I can even format it(from recovery mode, windows, menu) whatever I do seems to work till I reboot. After every reboot my system is back to the state before I changed anything.
I tried every way I could think of. Changing permission via adb shell, installing file system fixes via adb push(to my surprise it did allow me to copy files directly into /system as long as I did it while in recovery mode).
I even tried several different firmwares. No matter what I do it's the same, no changes are permanent. As soon as I reboot every change is gone.
This feels like working with oracle and forgetting to commit.
Is there a way to format the sd card via adb shell? Preferably a low level format(since the quick format doesn't seem to do anything). Or some sort of forced flush for the sd card? Some way to just clear my internal sd should do the trick.
Every solution I found on the internet didn't work.
What does work is the download mode, the recovery mode and adb.
I sure hope someone has an idea. It's rather unpleasant being unable to change anything on the internal sd.
Have you tried booting into recovery mode, then selecting Mounts and Storage. There's an option there to format the sdcard.
Apologies if you've tried that already...
Yes i tried everything ...
Trie reflashing back to a stock rom and then 3button and see if that works have you tried from system menu go settings storage unmount internal and format.also trie using odin full and repartition that should clear it

omg this also happened to me..i think it is corrupted i just root my phone and messed with the mount/unmound when i was transfering files thru bluetooth it hanged and wallah my internal sd card is untouchable..send it for repair and replaced the motherboard becaused the internal sd is built in.
I am getting big problem with my Sandisk 8gb micro sdcard.
i mount it with pc via galaxy mini a pop menu came up (scan and fix) i clicked continue without scanning then it shows 6.22 gb free of 6.96 gb (rest is used in 2nd partition). i copy files to sdcard (copy some ROMS and GAPPS). Un-mount sdcard.
Now problem started, i open file explorer and not able to find my files whc i copied.
than again tried to copy, resulted fail.
so decided to format sdcard. For first time when i try to format it showed (Windows cannot complete format) than tried with CMD same problem bad sector filled with zeros. than tried with SD card Formatter (software) but it said card it write protected.
after some time when i tried to format it formatted successfully
so i unmount but boom when i re mount it showed me all the same files before being format.
i try to format again it successfully formatted but after un mount and re mount same files are seen.
Any Help?

How would i click "cancel" if the scan with fix thing is "finished". as you said... ?
If it's finished then it's good, I just told you what to do when it stops with full green bar and "cancel" button (like in my case)

it is finished, tried 4-5 times but every time it is completely finished.
any software to give HARD format to sd card. ?
For me it hanged at the very end, but if it finished for you, it's good if that error still shows up, make a backup of important stuff an go to recovery, choose "mounts and storage", and format SD card. When it's done, boot up your phone and plug in to PC. If you can't access SD card, format it again, but this time from PC.

yeah, mount card, go to my computer, right click on card, properties -> tools tab -> error checking, mark both options, and see after that.

I tried it, it is successfully completed but still no help. still can see those files after format :'(
Post names of those files with extension, it should look like "name.***" put letters instead of *
I have the same problem, wasn't able to fix it. 32gb sdcard is "lost" now D:

You too have some strange files left on it? Care to post names of them?
if you have a Nokia s40 series mobile then use it to format
mime was showing corrupted and was not mounting, I formatted it with 2690 and it was working again
No, no strange file names. When I try to format it via CWM it gets stuck, via Minitool it formats but after it shows unfformated partition or unusable partition, then I check and my files are all there. Tried with windows formatting, gets stuck too...

Well, i don't see anything strange on this screenshot...
So I know when flashing roms sometimes it will erase the SD Card, Okay well I forgot about 5 pictures I had taken and was like oh well, so when I went to go load all my stuff back on it, My SD card is empty but it says 6GB is being used, which is about right what it was but there are NO files on it... Where are the files??? Using Root explorer and show hidden stuff on the computer still dont know where the files are at....
did you flash a 4.2 rom?
I wanted to try out cm mod. Then went back to stock 4.2.2 I don't care if I lost some stuff. But its Stikl there but I can't see it.

i know that your suppose to wipe before flashing a 4.2 rom.
the file system is in a different spot so it leaves the old system there.
I do not know how to get back the free space beside formating and reflashing the system.

Ive already formatted system and it still shows stuff stored there.
Not to sure then.
Only had the phone for a week so haven't gotten use to the file system yet.
I just know it's set up different from other phones.
I had the same experience also... what I did was I went to CWM recovery and format /sdcard and I did wipe user data/factory reset...
This was happened when I flashed 4.2.2 onto 4.1.2 without wiping anything....
transfer everything from your sdcard to your computer then format sdcard in cwm and transfer your files back and they should be in the right place
Ive got the same problem. Stock rom never rooted, "OTHER" in storage taking up 6.7GB.
I have looked at clearing junk files with CLEAN MASTER app but my cache files only takes up 33mb.
Did anyone look what "OTHER" in storage was when they got their brand new phone? Does Sense 5 really takes up over 6GB?
EDIT:
A few people confirmed that the phone have about 26GB of space out of 32GB brand new, so yeah Sense 5 DOES take about 6GB of space!

Hello.
I have a problem with the tab..
was running CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) for a while now and was working just fine.
a few days ago it got stucked...
to be exact - i was playing music with jungo, opend the notification drawer to enable the BT and it got stucked (the music still kept playing though)
a reseted it (with the power botton) and it got into a bootloop.
i tried reinstalling the rom and the kernel - not helping.
now, i think there is a problem with the DATA partiotion... everythnig i do in recovery that touches this partiotion causes the device to reboot (into the bootloop)
Wipe dalvik cache, Fix permissions. Format Data, Factory reset - All of these causes a reboot.
also creating a NAND backup, while reaching the DATA backup causes a reebot.
that is why i cant reinstall the tab - no way to format the DATA partiotion...
the thing is - i dont mid trying repartition with ODIN - but first i have some information i really need to backup first.
in recovery i see the SDCARD, can access all the files - but can't mount it to the computer in RECOVERY mode to access the files, or to copy any other installations in there...
i would really really apreciate the help - mostly to be able to access the data on the card
Thanks in advance
Ofri
Can't you flash a stock firmware through odin??
then you should be able to access your sdcard and backup your files, and then you can flash whatever you want.

Well your sdcard shouldn't be formatted, you should be able to see your files inside "/sdcard/0" folder.

hi and thanks for the help
im affraid that what's happened was my stupidity...
i forgot that factory reset in the original e3 recovery formats the SD card also..
and i did that... before flashing CWM
i know i can restore after this format
i did it a few tiomes in a phone
the problem that now i can't see it in the PC as a drive (it doesnt have a letter) so i cant access it for recover
i tried installing a recovery APP it fuond some photos but not the ones i needed.
any way.. question now is.. how can i recover deleted data from the SD card?
or
how can i mount it to the PC in a way that it will recive a letter as a drive? (not as camera)?

if your tab is getting recognized on your PC as a camera, then all you need to do is checking the "Media device (MTP)" option in:
"Settings>Storage>{press three dots in the top right corner}>USB computer connection>Media device (MTP)"
then disconnect your tab and reconnect it, and everything should work fine.

Hello, everyone!
It seems that there are many misinformation about using an external micro SD as internal memory when installing any of the (great) Marshmallow ROMs available to L90, so I decided to create this thread from my experiments and leave it open for discussion.
What is it?
With Marshmallow you can use an external uSD as internal memory, what is great for L90 because it has 8GB of internal storage, with only around 4GB available for users.
How does it work?
It's a Marshmallow feature so it's built-in, no need of extra apps. It will format a uSD inserted in the L90 micro SD slot and use it as internal storage.
The uSD card will work from now on only on your phone, but you still can unmount, remove and replace it with other cards as needed. All contents from /sdcard will be moved from internal storage to the uSD, and all apps that allow native "App2SD" will be moved too (you can choose to move or not, if you don't you can move apps manually later). Not all apps can be moved, but you can "force move" ones that don't support native App2SD, but be aware that it may break things, like widgets, etc.
How do I use it?
There are two ways to enable adopted storage:
1. it will offer you the option to use a newly detected uSD as internal or storage, so you'll probably see a notification when you insert a new uSD on your phone, or right after installing any Marshmallow ROM;
2. Go to "Storage and USB" in Settings app, select your external card, tap the three dot menu and choose Settings, it will then open a page where you can Eject, Format (erase) or Format as internal option.
Either way you will be guide through the process of formatting your uSD as internal memory and moving your data. Obviously, your micro SD will be formatted (erased) so backup any important data first.
Advantages
The main advantage is that it will improve your internal storage a lot. Even if you use a 8GB uSD, because it will move everything from /sdcard folder to the uSD. Also, if an app is moved, then all its contents (data, obb, cache) will be stored in the new adopted storage.
Problems
From what I've tested, the only problems are that even a Class 10 uSD is slower than internal memory and not as reliable. So make sure you use a fast uSD (I'd say Class10 is the minimum) and a reliable one. Of course, if you use the uSD to move data between your phone and other devices then you probably will want to keep using it as external (aka Portable) memory.
Observations (may be updated later)
1. If you don't choose the option to move your apps when formatting the uSD you can do it manually later: go to Settings, Apps, pick the app you want to move and then click on Storage, you should see a page with a button to move the app (and app data). If you see "Force Change" then the app doesn't support moving to external storage natively, and doing it may break something;
2. All internal storage will be used only for apps and apps data when using adopted storage, everything else will be on your external uSD, what means /sdcard is now on your uSD. Also every app and app data moved to adopted storage will be on your external uSD too, so removing the card will make those apps unavailable as well as any data stored on /sdcard;
3. You will still be able to access all data using MTP (it will show only Internal Storage, as /sdcard is on your external uSD now) or using TWRP 3.0.0 or later (/sdcard data will be available on the /emmc folder using the built-in File Manager, or separately using MTP). MTP on TWRP was very slow for me when I tried to use it, so slow it's useless for files > 1GB, but maybe it's because I have used Android File Transfer on a Mac, your mileage my vary;
4. Sometimes the format process may abort and Android will show your uSD as "corrupted" (maybe it's the wrong word for it). Don't panic. If you want to test your SD, use it on a computer and do a full format using FAT format, it will test the card. Simply restar the process if you've tested or you know your card is OK. If it still says your card is slow, don't worry, it may work fast enough for you (again, I am talking about Class 10 or higher);
5. When a uSD is formatted as internal storage it won't be "readable" anymore on any other phone or computer (OK, maybe you can on a computer that can read f2fs and its contents, but not the usual and normal way);
6. Going back is complicated: probably you will need to use a computer and MTP to copy the data from /sdcard to it, uninstall or move the apps you want to keep back to internal memory and then format your uSD card again as external memory.
7. It seems that you can use one uSD to both adopted and portable storage, see the link bellow (not tested, read the other page linked too):

While formatting the sd to make it internal storage, the screen just went black..so i search what's wrong, they said i need to wipe the partition and create a new one......before i did that, i can boot to the logo and booting screen still black on the home screen tho, but after i did that, my screen is totally black, wont boot
@DeathCrow17
Sorry, but I've done it more than twice and never had a problem. I don't know why it happened to your phone, maybe it was just a sad coincidence. Anyway, if you still can enter download mode you can flash stock firmware using LG Flash Tool. If not, there are fastboot and the hard unbrick tutorial, you may get more help in those threads. Good luck.
