Internal memory is "locked"

Dear guys,
I have a very strange problem with my tab. The internal memory seems to be “read only” after restart.
Ai have this problem after I stopped a transfer between my laptop and the tab (a movie). The problem is that o can’t format internal memory, to fix any fat leaks. I try to wipe all, flash with every know firmware from h__p://w w w.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm, format internal memory from CWM. Every format command works (finish format ok),
I can used the space on tab (even accessing from laptop) but when I restart my tablet I have the old content.
My question is what the f__k is happened and who to fix it.
Many thanks in advance!

Any one??!?!?!
Any one??!?!?!

I can't help with the solution but fwiw I have exactly the same problem. Samsung's only suggestion was to send it in for repair but I'm hesitant to do that because all my data is still on the device. I've tried hard resetting it but everything comes back as soon as I reboot. I can remove or install application but they reset as soon as I reboot the Tab. I cannot make any kind of permanent changes to it.
It's very frustrating to say the least. Anyone have any suggestions for what would cause this? Mine is still a stock device with only a few market applications.

I also have some issues with internal "SDCARD" and that is that i cannot move anything onto it using andy SGT filemanagement system or the very bad KIES software. At the moment my external SD is full but the internal SD has like 14GB free and i cannot balance the storage!?!
If I move programs to SD will it me moved to internal or external SD and can I choose the setting?
The only way I managemd to move stuff into internal SD is to download files like films and music via DLNA over WiFi - those files are saved correctly were I want it...
any advise would be appreciated...

So this means that i can't repair my tablet?
I can't find any solution for this problem. and i believe that we are not the only one with this problem.

I send it to service... they replaced main board...
but canceled my warranty reason: unauthorized software intervention - root access
So... watch out for this. factory reset you tablet or mobile (if possible... in my case was not possible)
Thank you for your support.

I have the same
I have the same exact problem ,, anyone can help plz ??

Hi:
I´ve just discovered this forum. Hello...
Just the same problem here and Samsung doesn´t repair my device. Can you give me any help?
Regards

This is exactly the same problem I've encountered. Moments AFTER rooting the thing.
Which leads me to believe any and all warranty question is well out of the window.
Has anyone encountered a solution as yet?
I appreciate the posts above are a few months old so I'm hoping some sort of resolution has been found!

Same problem here too
Internal mem seems fine and you can delete things, but after reboot nothing is remembered.
Gave it to service (non samsung/carrier), They said that the p1000 is known for having bad internal memory problems.
They partitioned my 8GB external sd card and installed a Chinese MIUI rom 4.0.4 that is supposed to support installation and running from external SD mem.
The problem is they didn't remove the internal memory - so all old apps still exist there and can' t be removed (it probably mounts the internal mem and thinks it can write to it - but in practice nothing is written). So when i go to market and try to DL an app it says no memory left on device because it tries to put it on the internal mem and not the external.
Also, after reboot all the account setup wizard screen settings are forgotten and you need to redefine everything again.
I saw a thread on XDA that explains you need to remove the internal SD mem physically (and explains how to do it) but i am a little afraid to do it...
Anyone else try this ?
Also strange you need to change the whole MB for a faulty memory, why can't the internal mem just be replaced ?

Hi, please keep all question/help related threads in the Q&A section only. Thank You.
Thread Moved.

[Q] How to make SD card as Internal memory in Samsung Note

Dear All,

I want to know is there is any option by which application automatically gets installed in SD card?
Please Help.

i have the same question, pls help

John.

Hello
I don't think so there a trick available for the same.
But there are apps available in the play store, using them you can move your any installed apps in to SD card...

You can change the SD card to be internal memory by doing the following system settings > storage > storage configuration > use internal storage. Works fine for me.

no such settings in ICS here

Hell Yeah. You can move between tablet and phone mode or a hybrid of the two as well as per app density changes. i use this with the Thor V11 kerenl and its about 40% quicker than stock ICS and so many new features. You won't regret the move.

sad that I cant see any paranoidandroid rom 0.2 video on youtube.
BTW Thor V11 kerenl - what it exactly does?

There are loads of v0.1 examples on there, even the official thread has some however v0.2 has a lot more features and is smoother. If I have time I will make one tonight after work and upload for you. No guarantees though.
The kernel acts as a mediator for your programs and your hardware. First, it does (or arranges for) the memory management for all of the running programs (processes), and makes sure that they all get a fair (or unfair, if you please) share of the processor's cycles. In addition, it provides a nice, fairly portable interface for programs to talk to your hardware.
There is certainly more to the kernel's operation than this, but these basic functions are the most important to know. Obviously each kernel does things in different ways however I found Thor V11 with undervolting and overclocking to be by far the best.

OP-Do you research before doing anything dangerous. Since this threat is for Desire HD and not Galaxy Note. Be very careful.
If you have that 32GB micro-SD, you can use it as your phone's internal SD card with an easy vold.fstab swap. Your reduced capacity internal storage would then become your "external" SD card. This link should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377628

[Q] Questions related to Htc Desire C.

Just got Htc Desire C (4 Gb built-in) without the Sd-Card and I'd like ask a few questions about it.
1) Why is the user available memory only 1 Gb instead of 4 Gb (built-in 4 Gb is written on the box)? What's taking 3 Gb of space?
2) This set has a lot of pre-installed apps, which most of them are useless for me. I can't uninstall but can disable them. I even did a factory reset to see if those apps disappear but they didn't so I disabled them again one by one. Is there a way to uninstall them forever?
3) How do access the user available Internal Storage (1 Gb) from my Pc so I can add some music/videos/pictures in it? Cause every time I connect it via Usb cable into my Pc then only the 95.23 Mb Phone Storage appears which is too low to add some music/videos/pictures.
4) Difference b/w Phone Storage, Internal Storage & Storage Card?
5) I've downloaded some apps which require a Sd-Card like some android media players. Why is that so, despite the fact my phone has ≃ 1 Gb of free space...
Thanks.

GOOD Questions !! [But totally nOOb]
Reading ur Q seems ur r new at android
Here are ur answers :good:
1) HTC Desire C comes with 4GB of bundled internal memory but 3GB of its is allocated for the Android [ROM , System func..] dat's the reason u have to play within 1GB.
2)These are all stock app which comes preinstalled with the stock ROM if u even disabling it will not work so if u want to get rid of these apps first u need to ROOT ur Desire C and then Download ROM TOOLBOX from the market [Play store]
IF u want a GUIDE on how to root Desire C plzz visit my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011209
3)Since Its a new phone in market we have not got enough Dev's to work on it , I am currently trying to hack the phone to extract some amount of internal memory so plz wait till i get a result
4)Phone Storage : Its some sort of data space given to u by the phone . Just in simple words u can use this storage for anything
Internal Storage : There is always a Internal Storage card in every smartphone for its System data and ROM functionality :laugh:
SD cards : SD cards / Storage cards are removable external userspace for the user :good:
5) Many of the apps store there data on SD bcoz they are jst not simply allowed to use dat 1 GB of space . Sorry bro we cant do anything for it
IMP : For Ur interest i recommend u to refer my GUIDE from the link given above do every thing as i mentioned there ur android life will boost i guarantee
IF MY POST HAS HELPED U PLZZ PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON :good:

[Help|Memory|How] How to Increase Internal mem

Sorry Guys out there , i know this is a ****ing annoying question because people out there are all over to solve this problem and this problem was "SOLVED"
But , i've face a problem , i think i don't need to mention much ?
Galaxy Ace :internal memory around 170mb .
Youtube -9mb
Talkbox - 10mb
Facebook - 19mb (+Data 20-40 mb ) = 50-60 mb ?
Thats enough , thats what i've got for my Ace , i have a Custom ROM like CM7.1
How can i get more internal rom since the data for Facebook are huge for ACE? I saw somebody get around 1gb internal storage for galaxy ace ? But i've tried everything , partition sd ...it almost pwned my sd card ?
Could anyone suggest me a working method even you suggest partition , nevermind , just give me the right method to partition and how to partition sd card please.

Well, there are many ways you can do so.. I would personally prefer using int2ext+. Here you go...
Some Basic Requirements :
1) A rom with init.d support (so that the scripts run on it)
2) Ext partition on your memory card (i recommend ext4)
3) Mini partition tool (for partitioning your memory card)
4) Memory card reader.
Steps:
1) Mount your memory card to your computer using a memory card reader!
2) Backup all you data, the process will wipe your memory card.
3) Open mini partition tool and delete the partition
4)Now you should see all the space as unlocated, create a primary partition which should be fat(if your memory card is less than 4gb) or fat32 (if 4gb or more)
5) Next, use the leftover unlocated space to make the secondary partition ie. Ext4.
6) All set, hit apply.
7) After it all done, copy back all your data to the card.
Using int2ext+ :
1) It is provided as a flashable zip for flashing directly from the recovery.
2) After the fresh install of a rom ( not necessasary but highly recommended) flash it!
And voila, if you followed all the steps correctly, the internal memory should be showing up the same size as your ext partition!
*Note* I AM NOT PROVIDING ANY LINK, SEARCH FOR THEM, IT'S TOO EASY!
PS- There are already many threads with similar questions, use search before posting next time!

Use a different Facebook client like Fast for Facebook, its only 4MB and is way faster. Use an App2SD script if you like.

[Q] Repartition internal memory for more space for applications

Hi everybody, I am currently trying to solve a problem with not having enough space for my applications on the N7000.
I consider myself a power user that uses many applications, and I do not really understand why a phone with 16GB internal storage and the possibility of an micro sd card, which I have allocates so little space to applications.
I have searched a lot on the internet and on this forum, and the only thing I could find was how to swap the internal memory with the micro sd card, which is not really what I would like to do. I trust more in the internal memory, and I prefer to have all my media (pictures, videos and documents on my micro sd card).
So the question is, can I increase the size of the data partition from 1.97GB to lets say 3 or even 4GB?
If yes, how could I do that?
Currently I am using 1.71 GB / 1.97 GB and I still get not enough space for applications when I am trying to update something like Facebook or any plus 20MB application.
Could anyone explain why this is happening?

I don't know any way to extend the internal data partition but in order to get more storage for apps I can recommend you the app Link2SD which uses a second partition on your external sd card. You can get it for free from play store and it's not really complicated. All you need to do is create that second partition on your sd card. I'd give it a try if I were you.

You need at least noob knowledge of adb (ie copy-pasting commands).
The second command was
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rather than
parted /dev/block/mmcblock0
I've just done it on my Note.

Hi Please can you help me with repartitioning my samsung gal gtn7000 internal storage for me ?
Thanks

Hi,
I have the Note GT-N7000 with Android stock 4.1.2 and i'm not rooted.
I have a problem with my 1,97 GB partition which is full.
Does this method require root ?
I ever use root + Link2SD on anothers devices. Which methode do you recommend for the note to free up space ? Link2SD or this method ?
Are there others solutions ?
Thanks

I would go for rooting, repartitioning and installing a new kernal that supports trim and a new up to date ROM. I chose this method for my wifes N7000 as being able to TRIM the emmc chips has really brought it back to life, almost no lag normally, just like when it was new. I installed the latest NightOwl (it's really just Cyanogenmod but with extra bug fixes etc). First you need to repartition as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642299 though I followed a procedure (as I had already installed CM11 I had to go back to stock first) called "How to re-partition Galaxy Note and install Android 5.1.1", there is a link to it on one of the XDA threads I mention in this post and it is on the net (sorry can't find link now). Then I flashed NightOwl http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-t2938649 . This Kernal & ROM are patched so risk of bricking is not any(much) higher than normal I think (though you do this at your own risk). Also being able to choose smaller GApps package further reduced bloat for me.
The only drawback is if you use the Samsung apps a lot you will not be able to install then on new ROM as you need the Samsung framework, but there are altenative apps for all of them, though I guess if you need to import actual data into new apps that may not always be possible.
Just make sure you backup all your personal files, like whatsapp photos etc that are stored on internal SD (sdcard0) as this will be wiped. Also your IMEI settings (with an IMEI app), address books, calender etc
No need to worry about ROOT as you can easily turn it on and off in developer options, I only turn it on when I need to run an app that requires it, then turn off again for added security.

Thanks for your answer, i will check the repartition method you linked.
