Internal Storage not Recognized after flashing CM7.1 - LG Optimus 2x

Hi Guys, just flashed my O2X with CM7 and it worked fine but for some reason its not detecting the internal storage. What happened is that I followed the instructions, saved the zip on my external sd card and then flashed it. Did I do something wrong?

Heyy could you say what CM7 version you are using? Plus it sounds like you did everything fine.

Nope, you did it right.
Sounds like you haven't used CM7 before, it's easy to think the internal SD is gone, but it isn't. CM7 by default mounts the external SD-card as /sdcard, where your internal card used to be mounted.
The internal card is at /mnt/emmc.
There is an option in the settings somewhere where you can switch them around (don't have CM7 installed at the moment, but just search in the CM7 Nightlies thread and you'll find lots of info about it.)

I think you are wrong, i am on CM7.1 and by default my internal sd card was in mnt/sdcard and external is mnt/emmc. Now I use FadeFX 1.6 update, which changes this to internal sdcard - mnt/sdcard and external sdcard to mnt/sdcardexternal_sd as it is on samsung ROMs..... (for this you need to check this feature in settings you mentioned) ....

Ok, they may have switched the defaults around since the last time I tried it. Doesn't take away from the main point of the post though. Mount points are different in CM7 from what people are used to, and confusing if you don't know about it.

But only external sd is different... internal it is the same, isn't it ???

No, I was right. (Just installed the latest nightly)
External card mounted as /mnt/sdcard, also reachable from a symbolic link /sdcard.
Internal card mounted as /mnt/emmc.
default install.

Because This feature was introduced from nightly #148 or something .... And he installed CM7.1 wich is nightly #144 I am on this too, so I know how it was after installation.

Nonsense. It's been like that since nightly #1. There were however KANGs floating around which switched mountpoints, you may have used one of those.

Thanks for the info guys...yes this is my first custom ROM and my first CM so sorry for being noob LOL
For some reason its now working. What I did was rebooted my phone, removed the external SD, and it somehow assigned sdcard for internal storage. Rebooted the phone and put back the external SD, and its now emmc...weird but it works now. I just have to move my apps all over the place

No i was on stock... I was reading nightly thread.... This is the way that I understand :
Before nightly #149 thing was fine, but after this nightly users must check option "use internal storage" and then everything works fine...
If i got it wrong, i apologize.

You're in the wrong forum, aren't you? That's why everything's confused, you're talking about CM7 on the Galaxy? This is the Optimus 2X forum.

For God's sake haven't you read the full description of cm7?
It had been said thousand times that internal card is mounted as /mnt/emmc.
Please dig around and read some documentation before flashing.

Boot up ur phone, remove the SD card (physically, open the back cover and remove it), and reinsert the SD card. Everything should work after that. I notice that this happens only the first time flashing.

Yeah the cm7 rom does it all in a stupid weird way that's why i ditched that rubbish and used a custom stock gingerbread rom, only thing i miss from it is the wiimote compatibility.

Actually, for me, that is the single most important feature of CM7. On stock firmware the internal SD-card was quickly becoming cramped with apps, and the 16GB microSD I bought especially for apps was staying empty(except for a few mp3's and camera storage).
For me, the ideal rom would be non-bloatware stock with CM7 sd mounting. Unfortunately no one could help me with mounting sd cards CM7-style on stock.

nah it's not stupid. default android use the sdcard as primary.
Code:
Vold.fstab:
* Vold.fstab is the file that will mount your sdcard(s) you can define in there where you want to mount the sdcard.
Like LG does /sdcard/_ExternalSD <- weird LG table
Like the most on xda do /sdcard/_InternalSD <- our modified weird LG table
or like CM does /emmc and /sdcard <- stock android

[Q] After upgrading to CM10 "emmc" changed to "extSdCard" and related problems

[Q] After upgrading to CM10 "emmc" changed to "extSdCard" and related problems
Hi,
I've recently updated my GNote (GT-7000) from CM9 to CM10, and looks like with CM10 the external sd card previously mouted as "emmc" has become "extSdCard".
Since then some of the apps (such as Apollo) have trouble seeing media files, others can't see the sd card at all, and when connecting to the desktop the drive which normally shows the content of the external sd card, only shows a couple of folders of it rather than the whole content as it used to do before (when using CM9 and previous roms I had).
Looked around for possible causes, but didn't find much. Someone mentioned that rommanager might have placed ".nomedia" files on the root of the internal or external sd card causing the problem, but that's not my case. Tried also doing a full wipe and reinstall of CM10, no joy.
Any idea?
Thanks!
- Adriano
That's the standard mount points for cm10 there are apps that will remount the sd and external sd in mnt as on stock roms. I had a quick look but couldn't find them, but I'm sure someone else will be able to find them.

Thank you for the suggestions -- I tried a clean install as well, but even the builtin apps (Apollo) still had troubles accessing the external sd card (not seeing any of the mp3s I had there). I have now resolved for restoring a CM9 backup I took before upgrading to 10... and everything is working as it used to.
Not sure why I ran into these issues which no one else seems having encountered so far.

I have the same problem except that the files on my internal sd card are not read by apollo player And the gallery. Is there any workaround. The problem started as soon as I upgraded from cm9 to cm10

Download ICS SD Binder. Check all 3 options and reboot. The path should be mnt/extSdCard (i think default is odb or so, make sure you change it) . It worked for me and so I'm trying to answer everyone with this problem. Give me feedback soon. And thanks button if I heped.

It didn't -- I don't need to have /emmc bound to /sdcard/external_sd as it was in GB. With CM9 everything for me works just fine with /emmc.
I tried the latest CM10 nightly, and using ICS SD Binder didn't change things. In the latest CM10 now there is also another mountpoint, called /storage/ and underneath sdcard0 and sdcard1 pointing to the internal and external storages respectively. In addition to /sdcard/ and extSDCard. Every few builds there seem to be some new change related to the storage's mount point. Going to wait another while before doing other attempts.

Any update on this question?
seems these are the new mount points even on the New JB roms from samsung
Somehow in some late November nightly, after flashing it, the files on my Internal SD were detected properly and it has all been working properly since. touchwood!

Problem mounting internal storage on JB Roms

Hi
Some time ago I tried JB Paranoid Android and my internal and external storage worked fine but switched back to ICS roms because of the problems JB roms had.
Now I guess they are more stable and wanted to try again so I installed Utacka's P.A. and I couldn't mount the internal storage. Some apps like camera said I had to insert an sd card. My sd card is mounted as my internal storage and the internal storage isn't anywhere.
I thought it was a problem with the rom so I went back to rocket miui and everything was fine.
Now I saw the cookies and cream Rom and wanted to try it but I'm having the same problem.
I searched in this forum for similar posts and tried ICS SD Binder and it doesn't work (or maybe I'm doing something wrong) and Remount Sd without luck.
According to Solid Explorer, my "Internal" sd's path is /mnt/extSdCard ("Internal" because in fact it's my external sd card) and I also have a /mnt/sdcard folder which says it's empty.
I would really apriciate any help and I'm sorry for my bad english and possible spelling mistakes.
Thanks

It force closes for me too. Though quite annoying, it still works. I chose the something that looked like mnt/ExtSdCard (maybe I didnt spell it correctly but it is the closest to that spelling.) I think the original was odb... Try and lets see if it works...

It's not working for me. When the phone reboots, at the beginning appears a message saying it's checking for errors on the sd card and if I enter to settings/storage it looks like if it is mounting correctly because it says internal storage 11 gb and it looks like if it is scanning it and external storage 29 gb. Then ICS Binder force closes and the external storage desapears and the internal stoage is 29 gb.

Data not being saved on Ext SD

Hello XDA community let me start by saying thank you for sharing all this great info. I finally made the decision to install over my B&N HD OS and go full Droid using cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc. Its running like a damn beast BUT one little thing is irking me. Whenever I download an app/game EVERYTHING seems to go to the internal memory and not my freakin' empty 32gb micro sd :good:. Furthermore, I don't even see the option in apps to "move to sd". How can I remedy this issue?
P.S- Yes the Sd card is formatted correctly and can be seen in storage.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Apps2Sd is not supported in CM10.1.
And verygreen has the emmc version of CM10.1 set to use internal memory by default and there is no setting to change that. But I have developed a flashable zip that will swap internal and external SD's so that the default goes to external. See my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 4.

Is this fairly reliable ? I purchased a 32GB model, thinking I would need it but, after 2 weeks I am hardly using any space. Perhaps I should return and get a 16GB model instead...

I don't get any reboots, but many users do. I think it depends on what apps you have installed and which run in the background that might be causing the crash and reboot.

Hey Leapinlar I tried your advice and I'm not getting any results. Here is exactly what I did.

3. installed NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-verygreen-CM10.1-on-emmc-rev2-(06.16.13).zip
4. Boot into cm-10 went into settings then storage (Verified MicroSD is detected 29gb)
5. Installed HD Widgets and it automatically goes to the Internal Storage
Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me I am lol...
I also do a reboot and try again but no luck. Any other advice? Maybe something I can do manually?

The swap does not effect where things get installed. They will always get installed to internal memory. The swap only effects where apps download and save their media files.
If you are running out of room to install apps, delete or move some of the media files from internal memory. App installation files and internally stored media files share the same free space. If you get rid of some internal media files, more apps can be installed.

Mount issue with internal SD Card-is there a permanent fix?

Thank you to all the developers on here.
I recently wiped everything, flashed the Baked ROM and got the following error messages when trying to use the camara:
---------
No Storage
No external storage available
Insert an SD card before using the camara.
-------------
I have just over a gig available on my internal card and have 27 gig on my external card. So the capacity is not the issue. I also can't download podcasts since it is giving me a similar error message.
I tried sdswap but when I went to reboot, got stuck on the boot animation for a half hour.
I then went into cwm recovery, wiped everything and tried the AOSP ICS 4.04 ROM, but ran into the same issue. I then wiped everything again and tried the AOKP 4.2.2 ROM and am still getting the same errors.
My phone works fine, but I can't take pictures or download any attachments till this gets fixed.
I searched the forums for the exhibit and saw some temporary fixes.....but all of those fixed are gone when phone is rebooted. I don't want to have to do a fix after every reboot. Please help.
Thanks,

This is bizarre, I wonder if your device is/was/has gone bad? Also I would avoid SwapSD unless it's been determined the ROM is 100% compatible based on user comments. Those things cause more problems then they solve sometimes. Also have you checked file apps like ES Explorer to see if your cards are being read? Check settings/storage and if you are getting reads on all three storage elements then something else is at work. In that case IDK?!

Thanks. Es file explorer recognizes the external sd card...but clicing on storage (internal sd card), it says its unmounted.
I rebooted into cwm recovery... mounted only the internal sd card, rebooted, and es file manager still says it is unmounted. You are probably right, probably a hardware issue, but it's weird how if I go to system settings, storage, it tells me how much available internal storage I have available which implies the internal sd card is mounted...

During my recent trials, I have learned that you can't mount your ext sd card with CWM, but you have to do it with a computer (at least, that's what I read). CWM was not recognizing my ext sd, either. I did not spend time learning how to get the ext card recognized, as I was worried about solving other problems, but I do remember that CWM can't mount your external card.

Nope--- this whole thing is due to me being a NOOB. NOOB's take notice! Don't be like me.
I realize what the problem was....after switching to baked bean ROM originally, I did a backup with cwm... not realizing that the back up would take most of my internal sd space.... I had less than 100 mb left on the internal card and so the internal card shuts down, even though it has plenty of space to take a few pictures or download some pdfs... it just wasn't accessable.
I freed up another 100 mb on the internal... and lo and behold I can take pictures or download. Now I have the option when using the camera to use the external sd card (not sure why it doesn't give you that option to begin with)...
I was looking at the wrong setting earlier.... I saw I had .96 gig available... but that must have been the ram...not the internal sd card.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.... I am back to the 4.2.2 AOKP rom and loving it. Sorry everyone.
Hey, I'm kinda having a similar problem (since it's similar and from my lack of posts I cant post on the 4.4 thread. I thought I'd ask here ).
When I flash the 4.4 ROM, it seems my external and internal sd isn't mounted, it gives me an "invalid path" when using Es File Explorer.
Not sure if this is a problem everyone has and it's not fixed yet (If its even a problem at all), or I'm just having this problem, lol.
I'm not receiving this problem on any other rom I flash just the 4.4.
Note: I wipe Dalvik, Cache, and Data. I also tried wiping my system and Ext SD. I tried to Google a solution, but all I found was weird ritual answers, like take out battery and sd. Wait 5 min, while you wait, do the Hokey Pokey, lol.

Nope--- this whole thing is due to me being a NOOB. NOOB's take notice! Don't be like me.
I realize what the problem was....after switching to baked bean ROM originally, I did a backup with cwm... not realizing that the back up would take most of my internal sd space.... I had less than 100 mb left on the internal card and so the internal card shuts down, even though it has plenty of space to take a few pictures or download some pdfs... it just wasn't accessable.
I freed up another 100 mb on the internal... and lo and behold I can take pictures or download. Now I have the option when using the camera to use the external sd card (not sure why it doesn't give you that option to begin with)...
I was looking at the wrong setting earlier.... I saw I had .96 gig available... but that must have been the ram...not the internal sd card.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.... I am back to the 4.2.2 AOKP rom and loving it. Sorry everyone.

Hey, I'm kinda having a similar problem (since it's similar and from my lack of posts I cant post on the 4.4 thread. I thought I'd ask here ).
When I flash the 4.4 ROM, it seems my external and internal sd isn't mounted, it gives me an "invalid path" when using Es File Explorer.

Unfortunately this is a bug with 4.4. The internal card actually should show up twice in ES Explorer (4.4 ROM only), and only 1 path invalid. The external card has path problems in Titanium Backup and RAM Expander. This is why I ended up not using KitKat for this phone.
