[Q] Internal Storage problem - LG Optimus 2x

Hey everyone! I've been googling and searching on for this problem for a few days, but I didn't find any solutions for it. So, here goes, I guess.
I own a LG Optimus 2X, currently on CM10 nightly. It worked like a charm, until I decided to try the official LG 4.0 "update". It's horrible in many ways, so I decided to go back to CM10. I am aware that CM10 uses EXT3 and LG's official rom uses EXT4, so I was careful about all that, but it seems as if I wasn't careful enough.
I flashed back the original Gingerbread ROM with a .KDZ file and then via CWM flashed CM10, but I couldn't access my internal SD card (/sdcard), not even via CWM! The camera says that there is "no external storage available" even though there is, ES file explorer says that the "SD card is empty, unmounted or not present.", and other programs such as torrent clients also bug out. I also can't load any music because of that problem. Plus, in CWM, it says "Error, can't mount /sdcard" nor can I format it sadly.
Is that because I didn't format it correctly back from EXT4 to EXT3 or something? I am really having a hard time here. And it would be nice if someone had a solution for this! Thank you all in advance!

I think you need to format sdcard.

Heh, I think I got that one too. But the question is how? I can't even mount it in the ROM and ClockworkMod Recovery can't mount it either. Is there a way to do this over a flashable rom or via PC (like ADB)?

Use the one in all toolkit @ android development to flash a new CM.
It's a common bug for flashing back to CM from LG ICS.
Follow the tutorial and use the CM addon and choose for change bootloader even if you are already on old one.

Supreme Wipe

Hey guys, is there a way to supreme wipe internal SD card, so it is like I just bought the phone.. After dozens of different ROM's my internal SD is full of empry folders, some pieces of files and God knows what else.. There was a tool for G2x called "G2X Cleanup Batch" - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/remove-old-clutter-with-batch-cleanup-for-g2x/ Is there anything like that for O2x? Thanks in advance!

I just plug my phone into my computer, do select all, then delete, then empty recycle bin to wipe everything from the sd card.
You want go back to stock rom, cleaning everything? (deleting cwm too?)
I had to do it yesterday, I did something that my cellphone couldn't mount E: and stuck on CWM.

Well not external SD, but internal - phone memory.. Kinda risky to format phone without knowledge, that this wont brick my phone..
"Okay, so wiping is a bit inaccurate. What the application actually does is re-create all the partitions, destroying all remaining data in the process. Says mansa_noob" I'ts about application for G2x I wonder maybe there is something like that for our phones..

the fastest way is to unmount internal from menu and just format it but you will not have preinstalled test apps that lg provides(not a big lose they were all demos)

Do you mean you want to format the internal 8gb SD card, or do you want to wipe the 1gb internal storage?
If it's just the internal 8gb SD you can do as I posted above, i've done it a few times. If you want to want to wipe the internal storage, then probably I would go into CWM, do a factory reset, then reinstall a fresh ROM of your chopice that you have on your SD card etc...

Or SmartFlash can do pure stock, all internatl Enrico/OSP stuff, if your phone works (or even in bootloop)... tested few days ago.
Well, I'll explain how to fully wipe your cellphone and install 2.2.2 version.
Warning: I'm not responsible for any damage caused into your phone
- Necessary files:
nvflash+v10b rom MD5: B17CB7FD3542B5D02BAF49879A83ACFF
nvflash driver MD5: B630C36DEF01E6912407840BBB033BCA
- How to:
Turn off your phone
Take out your battery
Press volume up + volume down and connect to your computer usb
Your screen will keep black, don't worry
Check in device manager if there's any APX with error
Right click it to install driver manually
Browser to driver folder
Install driver (ignore any warning)
Now there's "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices"
It's time to flash the rom
Execute "flash.bat"
If the install is stuck on "Nvflash started", unplug and try again
For me only worked in the 2nd try
After that I rooted using SuperOneClick, installed CWM and see my signature :silly:
Here. But it doesn't wipe internal sd. Might help though. ^^

How to eliminate everything? Restart

Hi guys,
Sorry for the question. I have my moms note. I am good at flashing but I cant seem what went wrong here. I was on official ICS.
I upgraded to leaked Jellybean, all worked wonders, I was on LS7 with Philz kernel. But then I lost root, I read there was a fix for that but then I discovered the problem I need hel with.
I CANT COPY ANYTHING TO INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL STORAGE!!! I tried everything. Wipes, reflash, fix permissions, etc., even format the sd card. But I canĀ“t copy anything....I have checked if they are mounted and no problem. Camera can write to sd. Cant even open Gallery because it says INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. But the phone and card are empty!!!
This had never happened to me....Can anyone help me?
Owww....I so sad...
Just tried with another sd card andd couldnt flash philz new kerenl....signature error....
Im on JB installed via Odin.
Tried installi rocket rom form stock recovery..... starts, android appears and reappears and then it boots back in recovery....
I had the same problem (not enough storage) with Rocketrom and Philz Kernel. I switched to Hydracore V7 and Utackas Paranoidandroid with a full wipe and had no problem ever since. Don't know what caused the problem.

when you flashed the rom again, did you do proper wipes? If not very much concerned about data and apps, the try
make sure you have the rom in your sd card
boot into cwm philz recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format/preload
then go ahead and install the rom again. restes
Use es file explorer, go to sd card, tap menu then settings then file settings and select show hidden in files, you should now see a folder called. Trash100 it will be full of all your deleted items, although your sd is empty the files are still there just hidden
Delete that folder and reboot. Same applies to external sd too.

I went all the way back to 2.3.6, upgraded to 4.0.4 via KIES, rooted with stock recovery, nandroid backup here. Up to here everything working. Went to flash JB and could only flash TWM build. All still worked. I wanted to flash rocket rom but i still get same error of "Installation aborted".
Actual setup is working, without Snote (cant flash fix) and without airview (ditto).
Still missing to try to flash via Mobile Odin.

[Q] Installing directly on external sd

I think the internal SD card of my i9000 is corrupted. I've tried everyting: wiped/factory reset, reinstalling Cyanogenmod10, installing Stock ROM, installing stockrom with re-partitioning on etc. Nothing works. I'm using odin to reinstall the stock ROM. Flashing the stock ROM to my phone goes well, but then when I restart and android is installing, I get error messages like:
/can't mount sd card
After reading a lot on XDA, my conclusion is: broken internal storage.
Now I want to install everything on my external SD. So I bought a 8GB cat10 SD card.
Found this XDA-post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893354 Seems very promising, but I seem to get stuck on '-- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )'. I;ve got a virtual machine running Ubuntu. When I start the script, nothing happens..... the terminal just closes.
The easiest solution for my problem would be a ROM that is altered to directly install on my external SD. I red somewhere that ROMS like that exist. Can't seem to find one though.
Well.. thanks for reading my post, and accept my appologies for my bad english. You can probably notice I'm not a native speaker.
Does someone have a solution for me? Maybe know of a good thread?
Thanks in advance!
Greatings, Eldoro
also formatted my internal sd through adb...doesnt help either

Tried that already... didn't work. That method only works if your sd card is totally dead. The phone then automaticly switches to the external sd

[Q] Possible SDCARD brick on my Optimus Black?

Hi,
I am having an issue that I'd hope you would be able to help me with. I flashed CyanogenMod10, and everything was doing fine, smooth performance, reboots with no problems, but then suddenly one day it went bricked. I restored through the SmartFlashTool Method, and got back to the stock Rom with everything working except for the SD card.
I have tried out various stock ROMs and none seemed to recognize the SD card, outputting a message of "SD card removed. Please insert a new one."; getting on to ADB when trying to mount the SDcard I get this message "mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory", and while trying to mount the SD card in CWM Recovery, it tells me "E: Can't mount sdcard", and when I try to mount USB storage through CWM, I get "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)", and when trying to mount /sdcard on CWM I get a "Error mounting /sdcard" message... I hope people at XDA would be able to help me since I have been lurking through the forums and internet without any good answer. :highfive:
I was able to mount the SD card through ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6, but again, barely at random times when it works, and after installing a ROM those times, the phone usually works for one hour or two and then gets bricked again. I can not have access to another CWM version since I need an SD card to flash it. To install CWM I am using a patched .bin and .fls files in the SmartFlashTool method of unbricking. When the SD card gets recognized, I can even reboot the phone and still get the SD card to be recognized. The SD card problems don't happen until the random bricks after flashing a ROM. :fingers-crossed:
I have also tried using several functioning SD cards of different capacities formatted in NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT with no luck. I am also not willing to go back to stock since it is buggy and lags a lot compared to CM7, CM10 and every other custom rom I have tried. :crying:
Thank you for any help you could provide me, or if you have any answer for this problem,

Internal SD won't mount on all the 4.2.2 roms

Ok so I've posted this elsewhere and there was no resolution, but I have new info.
So I know there are several others experiencing this problem. Today I flashed every one of the current 4.2.2 roms. I figured I'd install my apps a few at a time to try to determine which app was causing the internal SD to stop mounting. Strangely though when I would boot into the ROM for the first time it did not mount. So I went back farther and only installed the ROM zip and no gapps. Bam it mounted. Rebooted several times, both into recovery and into the system. Each time it mounted. Then I would get excited and install the gapps. Bam no internal SD mount. I tried all the current gapps on here and the insomnia forums. I even downloaded the 03/01 gapps from goo .im.
So obviously this is not all conclusive, but I flashed and wiped and flashed about 25-30 times today trying to figure this out. I confirmed this in my mind for the latest BBB and linereo 10.1.
Those of you wondering I used cwm and tw(the awesome custom insomnia version). My procedure is factory reset/ROM wipe, then I wipe, system, cache, dav cache, internal SD, and Android secure...2 times each. Then I reinstall the ROM.
After install fixing permissions does not fix the problem either.
Also I'm not really expecting any developers to work on solving this since it is also caused by the goo gapps, just thought it might help some of us struggling with this problem.
Swap sd is currently solving my problem, it mounts the internal as external, but it mounts.

I don't think it's really a ROM issue as much as a compatibility issue with some hardware variance with some exhibits. I know we've had other issues that only some people have and no amount of wiping and flashing fixed those.
I bet if we opened up my exhibit, which is only 4 months old, and say camcory or tims we could find differences when we compared them component by component...I believe this is the reason for the varied compatibility.
Hope that helps!

This solution is easier than replacing the system board...
Connect the phone to your computer via USB (this works on tablets with USB as well). When it pops up to ask you to turn on USB storage for the computer, do it. Give it a minute or two to mount the SD and one internal user partition to the computer desktop, then unmount/eject the drives from the computer and turn off USB storage. The other internal partition will be mounted, and will remain so until the next phone reboot.
I've hooked my T679 to both my Hackintosh laptop and my TF101 in this manner, and it works every time.
Thank you red_five_1976 so much for your help. I followed your instruction and voila, it worked !! I like many others, am scratching my head on how exactly to get my external micro SD card to work after installing Android 4.2.2, you method worked for me and I'm a happy man !!

I've also found that if it didn't mount on a reboot, if I reboot to recovery and wipe davlic and cache, then reboot back into ROM that solves the problem.
Btw I'm using the 6/3 AIOP at the moment, best this phone has ever been in every way.
