Internal Storage not Recognized after flashing CM7.1

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.

Ohhhh my god .... can't believe how stupid this is.... I apologize for this. I am o cell phone, and did't see this.... so embaresed

[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.
- Adriano

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.
- Adriano

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!

SD Card Will Not Mount

I have tried flashing several ROMs over the past few days. However, for some reason the SD card is no longer recognised. When i go to Settings/Storage "SD Card" is just greyed out and clicking "Mount SD Card" doesn't do anything... it can see the SD Card has 7.56GB of total space, but it doesn't appear to be usable.
As a result of the system not recognising the SD card, i cannot use the Camera or apps like Evernote, which insist on having an SD card present to launch.
I have tried:
- Flashing and reflashing different ROMs (SuperNexus, Slimbean, etc)
- Changing SD Card
- wiping cache, data, system, and reflashing
- Downloading mount apps from the Play store
Nothing works...
Would really appreciate help in fixing this.
Many thanks!

emmc brick i believe. this happened to me as well. the only fix is to have it serviced by samsung. try to see if you can download and run the emmc brick bug from the playstore.

Try to install a stock Rom (GB or JB, doesn't matter) with PC Odin.
This will give you a clearly defined state.
If you get error messages when installing PC Odin please post them here - then we can analyze it (and get hints if there's a chance you bricked your device).
If the installation is completed without problems and rebooting into the OS check your sd card again.

i think hes not talking about the internal storage.. infact the ext SD.. first flash a stock rom... then mount the SD card.. check if all works fine. if yes then move to CM rom.. this usually fixes the problem

i think u need to get another sdcard n check it out ！
don't use the same brand...

Quick update:
I installed a stock ROM using PC Odin, as suggested, and happily my SD card and internal memory showed up just fine. I then reflashed CWM and installed Supernexus 2.0 and everything has worked fine ever since. Thanks again for all your help!!!

Glad to hear it.

I have a similar issue.
Ever since this one morning when I turned my phone on (it was shut down) it won't read the internal sd card on my phone. I have tried restarting but it still doesn't work. When I open music it says 'SD card not mounted' and when I open photos it says 'Storage Space Full' and it closes the app. However, my storage is nowhere near full and this has never happened up until now. PLEASE HELP

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,
David

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.

I think you meant to say internal sd. Either way, I did read that hooking it up to the laptop will mount it... but I don't want to have to do that after everytime I reboot.... just seeing if there is a permanent fix.

Btw you're not using an app called SD Card Boost are you? If so that is what's causing your problem as the exact same thing happened to me when using that.

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.

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.

Asylum Omni 4.4.3 - Internal SD card slow

Hi.
I'm using Asylum Omni 4.4.3. Yesterday I tried to copu a big file (1,2 Gb) from external SD card (sdcard1) to internal SD card (sdcard0) but at 800Mb the copy stopped. I restarted the phone and tryied with small data and found that, if the data is more than 100Mb, it's easy that the copy stops and the phone have to be reboooted because it remains stuck.
If I try to use the internal SD for backup using TWRP, I'm able to save 1,5Gb of data without problems.
Instead the copy from sdcard0 to sdcard1 is working flawlessly.
I know that in KitKat there were many SD card issues.
But is it possible that 2 different sdcard on the same device have different behaviour ?

Thanks a lot for the hint.
I read the thread.
The weird thing is that I hadn't the problem with SlimBean 4.4.
Then I started to use SlimSaber, and release after release the device had some weird lock, that disappeard using an 4.4 kernel from Chasmodo.
So I tried Asylum Omni.
The external card seems ok even is VFAT and full of music. I listen music everyday with N7Player without issue.
The problem is during writing the internal sdcard, that is an ext4. And happens only with file bigger. Reading is not a problem too, as I simetimes watch films that are in the internal sd card without problems.
Today I tried to move a 2 Gb file with "adb shell" while in recovery and it worked. Slowly, but worked.
I have to try some old release of SlimBean to verify if the problem disappear. I got all my old nandroid somewhere in my notebook.

After switching to exfat for both internal and external(Or sometimes ext4, if i swap out). I never had a problem, and good speeds. That is my recommendation.
I would not spent to much time looking for another way to make it work, because what seems to work for some does not work for others. But exfat seems to fix it for everyone.

Just to notify that SlimKat 4.4 seems not to have such problem. I'ts not fast as SlimSaber or Asylum Omni, but file transfert seems ok.
