This is changed in Android 2.3 roms.
Internal now shows as internal and sd-card shows as external.
so now that i don't have an external sd i can't store anything on my phone?

Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.
recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.
I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

I was on stock froyo V10a, anyway after a couples of tries a notification that the sd card was corrupted popped and gave me the option to format it once again, this time it worked.
So solved, thanks guys.
More comments on my new little issue would be much appreciated
Ummm
When I open the album app, always pop-up a error "Memory unavailable" "Memory unmounted or unavailable"
Or
When I do a photo : "Memory error"
I tried to re-flash stock rom multi, but still the same.
How to fix it?
make a backup and delete all contents off the card in either settings/storage or in recovery.
Restore your backed up data, it will now work

I do not understand.
I think it is problem of the memory card, but the internal memory.
Can you explain the steps detenidamnete, I am a rookie.

copy everything you want to keep from your internal and/or external memory to your pc.
delete everything of your internal and/or external memory in settings/storage (Or in cmw recovery if you have installed that)
reboot
restore your data to the internal and/or external memory.

Yes!!!
I deleted the internal memory and now works perfectly.
thank you very much
I found this page, because I had the same problem. (it's one of the first google results) And I want to leave this here, in case somebody else does, too.
After programming sd card to work as internal memory, so i could actually have some space in my phone, camera app started showing "error: memory unavailable".
None of the solutions here (or elsewhere) worked. Until i did a very simple thing.
I downloaded another camera app from playstore. All of them are taking pics normally and saving them where i want to. Problem solved. So, if anyone is on verge of buying a new phone, try that first.
I have a chance to buy a used Samsung Galaxy Tab at a great price, but there is a problem with the internal memory. It has been rooted and right now it is operating on CM10 Nightlies from the SD card. The internal memory partition is recognized but can't be accessed. Is there any chance the internal memory can be recovered?
since the previous owner went a great length to get it working with only external sd, I think likely the internal memory is beyond help. You can ask him how far did he go trying to fix it.

Thanks for the reply. The previous owner said he never tried any fixes.
I might have mistaken your initial info as saying you have the whole ROM installed on external sd card.
If it is just the internal sd card not showing, you could try to format the internal sd card from cwm and see what happens.

Sorry, I was unclear. The whole ROM IS installed on the external SD card. There's no problem running the ROM from the SD card and no problem with the SD card itself. It's the Galaxy Tab internal memory that is bad. The internal memory is recognized but cannot be accessed. I guess I'm wondering if the internal memory can be reformatted and fixed.
I bought it for next to nothing, so even if I can only use the ROM from the SD card, its not a big deal.
Hi, I can't post in the dedicated forum yet but maybe my question can be raised here:
I flashed the "Switch SD" Mackay kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2532813 ) on top of the normal one and indeed my external SD card of 32Gb shows up as "USB-Storage" and all apps seem to work OK.
In the proces the original internal storage has gone missing, how do I get it back?

I don't think you can get it back. I've never used the Switch SD kernel but I think the whole point of it is to replace the internal card with your external card. If that is the case then the internal card might stop working.

In recovery mode the internal card is visible and can be mounted via usb but in normal mode the only thing present is the external 32 gb card.
there must be a way to make use of both but in reverse order.

Maybe it's something wrong with fstab.aries. If that's the case then you can't do anything because changes to fstab.aries are done before compiling the kernel. Ask kasper_h about this. He might be able to help you.
I'm using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn't show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it's treated as internal memory I'm not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn't backup them. I'm bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support
Hey , are you using stock original rom of lenovo a7000?

Phone is not recognizing SD card, shows it's corrupted. Phone doesn't have enough space!! Btw, how to migrate data from encrypted SD card to internal memory?
Follow your way through this article: https://nelenkov.blogspot.ro/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
You should be able to read the SD card on a Linux PC.
