[Q] How to Root without internal or external SD card mounted?

Like the topic says I need to root my phone without internal or external SD card access.
I would like to do this so I can try to backup my nv_user and related files before I try another partition since I have had no luck finding a solution to being able to mount my external or internal sd cards.
I have the "Mount Point absent or incorrect." error dialog showing up in my status bar.
I tried searching for solutions to both problems but Have been unlucky so far.

For sgs u definitely have a internal sd.

you definitely have an internal sd-card. however if you want to do it without or have problems with it you can flash a kernel+su with odin: thread on samdroid
cheers, jo

Phone says neither them are mounted. Same as in the recovery mode. When I check the sd card and memory in the settings menu both are unavailable. It says I am running off 2 gigs of system memory.
So yes I have an internal sd card. It just won't mount and in recovery mode it won't be found.
That's why I said it wouldn't mount. Not that it didn't exist.
I trying not to flash the phone until I can make a back up of thee nvdata files. So I will check the kernel flash and hopefully it won't effect the nvdata. But I'm guessing it does.

I should have stated a different Title for this thread as my real problem is either Int/Ext SD card corruption or something else deeper within the phone.
I will try formatting it with ubuntu like someone else suggested. That will have to wait until I get home and take a bit since I have no linux experience.
Also, the memory *2gb is showing is labelled as Internal Phone Storage.
Thanks

I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that your phone wont flash anyfirmware after JPC right?
Let me know how it goes.

I can flash but it took some messing around. None of the other firmwares even the stock bell one are stable now and I have no access to either the int or ext sd card. Just the 2gb internal non-sd memory. And after JPC my signal is pretty messed up.

My (wifes) phone now also says internal sd card unavailable.
Is there a solution to this? Happened after I upgraded from JH2 to JM6. The same upgraded process worked on my phone (followed the guide exactly).

Guys, just have a look around these forums or use the search button. This is the most common issue with the I9000M and there is no need for another thread about it.

[Q] Removing internal SD Card

Hello all. Is there a way to remove the internal SD card so it won't be wiped when I do my updating? and if so how? Thanks

Umm copy it all to your pc before you update. Or root and backup with tibu if you are talking about apps. The internal sdcard can't be removed and the phone still be able to work, it's a 16gb flash drive that also contains the os. That would be like taking the hard drive out of your computer to update windows.

thanks . I finally figured that out. Can someone get me a link to SuperOneClick v1.7 . I'm trying to get the one that has the rage option. thanks again

I've rooted my I9305 but what should I do with my memory card?

Just a quick question. I've followed tutorials and I believe i've rooted the phone (EE UK S3LT3) I've got a 16GB memory card included. Do I need to partition/format the card so I can get things moved to the SD card as much as possible?

If it was included then it should be ready to go, you can store all kinds of media on your SD card but apps require a 3rd party application such as Titanium Backup to be moved to the SD card or you could install a mod that makes your phone think your SD card is your internal so all apps install there default

What mod would that be? (if you don't mind me asking)
Also I'll be more specific about my original post. I had the xperia play before. I folowed this tutorial for that:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
That worked fine and everything moved to the SD card as far as I know. What I mean is should I format my card like that? I know it's not formatted or anything it's just sitting there full of space unused

The mod is called directory bind (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550)
It's needed if you want to move files to your SD. Unlike other phones, the s3 doesn't offer an option to move whatever you want to your Sd card. Formatting won't change anything. You have to use the above tool to trick your phone into thinking your extSD is the internal memory and vice versa.
There is no simple way of just moving all your data/apps to the SD card, unfortunately

I think i'm doing it with the mod now. I tried to move data with link2sd but that was a no no. That the only thing with this phone it's not easy to move things and what not.

[Q] External sd card

Hello,
So I have an xperia Z with 16gb of internal memory and about 11gb usable and a sd card with 64gb, so the problem is I have used all that space internal with games and I can't transfer apps to external sd card (thats one of the reasons why I got a 64gb card so I could install games on it but turns out I can't) you used to be able on older phones like I had an lg optimus black and transferred apps to sd easily, so is there a way to transfer apps to sd or not I tried gl to sd which didn't work the phone just reboots when mounted and tried alot of other apps but the same thing happens and its not straight forward lol, the other question is will they allow apps to external sd when 4.4 is out? If so, I don't mind waiting lol
Also my phone is 4.3, rooted, locked boot loader and have dual recovery 2.7.78 and stock
I don't want to partition the sd either

[Q] Data SD Problems with Internal Problems

Hello All,
I have a new Xperia Z and have rooted it. Locked bootloader.
The trouble is that everything wants to go on the internal storage (which only has like 9gb left).
Nothing seems to install tot he external SD card. No option in the APPS section to move it either.
I tried using some Move2SD apps, but either they say there isn't an external storage or it's emulated.
So what can I do? I can't even download a small file currently because now my phone keeps saying that there
isn't sufficient space available. Which just isn't possible. I have like 25gb on the SD card and 9gp on the
cell internal. Something isn't quite working right I think.
Thanks for any help.
