Hi!
Here is my problem : my internal storage is gone. I mean, not accessible by any means. External SD Card is still detected but not the internal storage. When in recovery (TWRP) and I try to mount internal storage, it gives me the error "unable to mount /emmc bad parameter" or something like that.
I've looked around on the internet for ways to fix this and, in fact, I found some, but I still need an information.
Could anyone check within their devices partition table to indicate me which one is supposed to be the one that contains the /emmc partition? Also if someone could be nice enough to help me fixing my problem, I'd be forever grateful ^^.
I have a slightly-above-average Linux knowledge, I am a student in programming (C# actually) and I also have an Android SDK setup so command line does not scare me .
Thank you to whoever will help

I am under TWRP and I ran the RUU with the Juopunutbear BL and it worked. Any idea WHY it happened? Because it I know why, I won't be making the same error anytime soon ;P
Thanks for the reply by the way

Are you on a custom Rom?

Hi!
Yesterday my msging app wouldn't open so I rebooted the phone, something I do at least once every 2 days, and it booted into recovery without me touching anything.
This error would also show up:
E:Can't read MISC:
(No space left on device)
I can't do ANYTHING. It ALWAYS goes to recovery mode. reboot bootloader goes into recovery. power + camera button goes into recovery. letting it boot goes into recovery.
--all with the same error in recovery, the can't read misc thing.
Did anyone have this problem? I didn't even flash anything, i was just rebooting the phone like I always do and it just appeared. Any ideas? Is this bricked? I don't want to get a new phone until I know I've tried everything. I've already scoured the net for this error with no results.
Thanks!
What recovery do u have? Do u know your phone info? Running a custom Rom? What have u done to the phone before now?
Not bricked btw if u can get into recovery it's fixable

Hey, thanks for replying!
I'm using RA 1.7 recovery, not sure what phone info you want, its a G1, I'm using CM 6.0 RC1 and have been using for a month now, and before that I've just been using CM, keeping my phone up to date with the stable releases (I don't flash the nightlies)
I'm glad that its not bricked. The problem is that it ONLY boots into recovery, even if I don't press anything...
Thanks!

Ok. I'm looking for spl and radio. Do u have danger spl? Or firerat mtd patch? Sounds like u ran out of internal memory somehow and now won't boot into os is why I ask
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Oh Gotcha - yeah I followed the guide on the CM wiki, so I have danger SPL i believe, and yes, I used firerat's MTD patch
If i remember correctly I used the "all" thing so it went through everything in that patch.
I did that maybe around the time I got CM 6 - so I've been using CM6 and firerat's patch for maybe a month before this happened.
thanks!

Interesting. U don't need danger and mtd patch they do the same thing. I'm confused but maybe u have conflicting internal memory partitioning and that's causing it. Do u have a nandroid backup u can go back to that will boot into the os?

I do but it gives me the same error:
"Can't read MISC: etc etc etc"
This happens when I try to do anything, data wiping, wiping the cache, anything!
I don't even know if it acutally restored the image or not or if the wipe actually happened, because the progress bar is always present for whatever I'm trying to do, its just at the end the error comes up.
In terms of wiping I've tried wiping everything and installing CM6, to no avail. I can't re-reroot the device or downgrade it because recovery always comes up instead of fastboot... I'm stuck!!
Thanks for your insight!
If u plug your phone into the computer and select USB toggle does your sdcard show up on your computer?
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Yep! I can select that MOUNT SD thing and I can transfer files over. Thats what I did to try and flash the rom again, but like always it just gives me that error after its done.
Well i hope you have a spare phone for the time being. I will try to figure something out and keep you informed. Or someone smarter than me will come along and give you the answer. It seems several people have had this prob. but i have not found the solution. Has to be something you can do from a shell in recovery mode to create some space or something to get back into the os. Ill get back with you hopefully with some good news.

It would appear that you can run adb commands while in recovery using a shell. Maybe you can do that and use df to see what has low space. When you find that out you can cd to that directory and type ls and get a list of what is in that directory. Maybe delete a few things to clear some space? Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah I found that thread already... but like me they didn't find a solution either. Plus I do not have a backup misc image so me deleting it would be rather disasterous.
Any other ideas or things I could try?
I'm just about ready to wait for the desire Z or the galaxy S instead of trying to tinker with this old phone...
i've done a lot of searching and haven't been able to figure out why i cannot flash the latest roms. example, i can flash the nightly build 283 but not the most recent 295. the latest miui rom and the GB ones. everytime i try to flash i get E:Can't open /sdcard/xxx (bad). it is really starting to irritate the crap out of me. my boot loader is unlocked, hboot v.0.33.0012, and amon ra 2.0 recovery. i tried partitioning my sd card with 128mb swap, 1024mb ext3, and it hasn't helped any. if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate any help i can get.

still don't know why, but i decided to swap my 32gb card for the 4gb that came with the phone, first rom i tried i got an error 7 message, the second finally flashed, so it has something to do with the sd card apparently... i just flashed gingerpassion, i'm going to keep on playing and see if i can figure out what my problem is

I wish I could say "Nice try, you're getting the hang of this forum thing," but unfortunately you still don't have a clue. This is not an issue that has anything at all to do with ROM Manager (which is really only a frontend to Clockwork Recovery, anyway). PLEASE "lurk more". That is, read posts rather than just making pointless posts. Then you will know a few things and be able to help people out.
(apologies to the OP)

That does certainly sound like an SD issue. I would recommend doing a full format of the 4GB (without doing any partitioning to remove any extra variables), and then trying to flash one of the ROMs that were giving you trouble. If it fails, there is an option under the Other menu in Amon_RA's recovery that will allow you to export the recovery log to your SD card. Do that, and post that log (or even just review it on your own) and we should be able to better determine where the issue lies.
Good luck!
So I have been trying to deal with this for a while now... It all started on a normal day. I come home and see my sprint galaxy tab (with ics) with a little message on it. It said that encryption had failed. From then on the device would boot loop. I have already read through other threads and tried flashing, repartitioning, I have checked the error messages via adb and I am sure my internal storage is dead. I partitioned my microsd card with an ext4 and 2 fat32 partitions, then I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031. Then I changed the vold.fstab to the appropriate thing. And it still boot loops. In cwm i cannot mount /cache, /data, /sdcard, or /sd-ext. I have downloading mode, recovery, and adb that I can use. I just cant seem to figure out what is going on. I am completely stumped here. Thx ahead of time for any help.
EDIT: Attached the logcat during boot...
And another cdma tab bites the dust running ics...
Sounds like your internal memory went bad. This seems to be happening to a lot of cdma tabs that run ics. Only real fix that I know is sending it to samsung to fix. If you search the forums you'll see a lot of post of this happening to other people. What they all have in common is that I was running ics......

Anyone know a thread for installing android to the external card specifically on the sph-p100? Preferably with download links for everything you need that aren't dead lol.

I opened mine up and removed the internal SD (literally pulled it off).
I installed a stock ROM (via Odin) and it works, right now I'm trying to install ICS but its not as straight forward.

Hi.
Firstly, i should start by apologizing for my stupidity and complete failure to be less... useless, when it comes to my phone.
I am selling my Galaxy note, which is rooted and has ICS Stunner 2 on it, with 'cwm-based recovery v6.0.2.7 (if that helps)
My issue is, Before selling my phone I took out my 'external SD' card and decided to reformat/nuke my internal SD, thinking that the firmware would remain intact and the thing would still be useable if i repartitioned it or whatever.. Again, a bit new to this..
Anyhow, half way through formatting the internal SD the process was interrupted. I can boot the phone, but when I do anything that requires use of the internal SD (saving photos, downloading apps... and in cwm recovery, even factory reset) it wont work
In fact, when I try a factory reset it says 'Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
I would love to know what I am meant to do to fix this, and of course am willing to provide any info you may need to help me out here..
As i was typing this the phone got sold and I am now running against the clock to make this work...
please, help!
Thank you so much and I again apologize.

If you are selling your note, maybe the best thing you can do is flash stock rom for you region and thats it.
It will solve your problems at once.

If you're S-OFF already, just flash the firmware. Click the radio number in my sig and it'll take you to the thread. That won't get rid of the OTA notification, though.

So what you're actually saying is you didn't follow the instructions? The instructions say external for a reason (the internal "sdcard" isn't a removable SD card - it's emulated storage symlinked to the /sdcard folder). Looks like you'll have to either get a card or use the other method.

If you want to apply OTA as htc intended (from a stock ROM), you have to flash stock recovery, replace any factory apps you've deleted/frozen, ensure you have unmodded build.prop & default.xml. then you will be able to apply OTA through system updates as regular. make backup of any files/apps that you want to replace factory after OTA. its good to have a full backup anyway
This worked for me anyway
/system/build.prop
/system/customize/ACC/default.xml
If you do a full Titanium backup, you can also just flash A 1.54.651.10 Stock Rooted ROM, and then restore from backup
If you don't have an ext_sd, make sure to copy any backups/files to your PC for redundancy*
dude, I flashed the ota a million ways and my connectivity issues persist. I caved in, restored to full stock, got the insurance from sprint (it's open enrollment this month) and turned in my phone for repair. they got stumped on the issues too and ordered me a brand new one no charge. once it comes in I can remove the insurance from my account if I feel like it
