Hi,
I had a clean install of Evervolv KitKat (test-2-20). Everything worked fine, except Gapps did not install because of the small internal partition space, so I had to increase the partition to 8GB.
I then used built-in updater to update to the nightly 2.22 through CWM. It updated OK.
Now I downloaded nightly 3.2 the same way. But CWM cannot find it to flash. Looks like I have 2 EVUpdater folder, one in internal storage, one in sdcard partition.
I have to move the files around in order to flash anything. Is there any way for CWM to see the internal storage somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
Installed phiremod 4.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954902
All is fine, except one: I do not know how to access the internal data storage (5 GB).
A similar problem is described here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/16812-internal-storage-media/
In fact, I typed in a terminal:
su
mount-o rw, remount-t rootfs /
mkdir / mnt / media
mount / dev/block/mmcblk0p8 / mnt / media
mount-o ro, remount-t rootfs /
... and the partition appeared, the mounted as "/mnt/media".
However, after rebooting the partition again is not visible.
How to correct this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Just a heads up, the internal storage is mounted on boot in the latest CM7 nightlies
Sorry, I do not quite understand.
Tell me please: fixes have already been made in the installation package "phiremod 4.4.1"?
I'm having the same issue as the folks above. I just installed phiremod V4.1 to emmc and it does not recognize all of the Internal Storage on the NC.
Apps > Settings > Storage shows Internal Storage at 0.92 GB, with available Internal Storage at 853 KB. No problems with the SD Card btw...it shows 7.4 GB.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to a post, or outline the steps required to flash the daily update of CM7 so that the current implementation of phiremod 4.1 with CM7 is able to recognize the full 5.00GB of Internal Storage?
Thanks in advance!
"Phiremod" is nothing more than a glossed over CM7 nightly, and an out of date one at that. From what i can tell, if you want to keep the "mod", there is no easy way to update to the latest nightly.
Becasue of the state of the build, with nightlys coming at us quickly, it is best to avoid these custom solutions all together.
The best i can tell ya, is to download the latest nightly, and start from scratch (format /system, /data, /cache **BUT NOT BOOT**). Because of the way the nightlys work, you WILL be able to flash a new one over the old, without losing data.
Perhaps it is too difficult for beginners.
I just tried to follow the installation instructions Phiremod V4.1 (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954902).
After the problems with access to the internal partition, I installed the latest (nightly) build "CM7" (http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore), and problems with internal partition disappeared.
Nevertheless, Phiremod V4.1 was very convenient.
Okay so my Droid is running okay, but I would like to have more memory for apps. So I figured, why not just use the app2sd script from DT after partitioning my card in CWM like I did my Ascend. I tried these steps:
1. In the CWM recovery (2.5.0.1 and 3.1.0.2) there is no option ANYWHERE to partition the SD card like in the 2.x.x.x CWM on my Ascend.
2. I partitioned in ROM Manager and chose 512 Partition with 128 MB Swap. The phone reboots and partitions the SD, and I checked in MiniTool Partition Wizard to make sure, there was a ext3 partition and a linux swap.
3. I move all apps to Internal memory, went in to CM Settings and allowed application moving.
4. Flashed DT's beta 4 script in recovery and it wouldnt boot, had to clear dalvik cache.
5. Get back in and found that the apps had moved no where. I check the sd-ext folder in Root Explorer and it said empty folder. a2sdgui does not work, if I change something, it just changes back.
6. Reflashed, tried S2E (simple2ext) and had the same issue, it isnt recognizing the ext partition.
7. Reflashed and tried various other settings with no luck.
What should I do? I really dislike having 15mb of internal memory free. Any help would be loved
Here is the info:
Was using the latest CM7 build but now I tried it on SteelDroid 9... same issue
Got view but no replies? Need some help here....
delete all previous scripts and try link2sd. i have been using it successfully.
I have installed custom rom from zip and used it for several weeks.
Today I have decided to try new rom and I have made a backup trough CWM (6.0.2.5) in format .tar
I have tried to restore the backup. but the phone gives me a really strange error.
Encryption Failed. The system .. bla bla bla ... you need to reset your phone ..
I have tried to factory reset trough CWM, but the problem is the same.
I have tried to restore older backup ... the same error ...
Any ideas what is the problem and now to fix it (restore the rom)
I have tried the following ..
1. format /system /cache / data
2. install custom rom (CivZ v3.0)
3. take the setup wizard
4. reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.5)
5. backup (.tar format)
6. restore from the backup
and .. the same error and no working rom ..
Can this be an internal SD memory problem ?
Any ideas ???
Anyone
Try backing up to external SD card. If that works, or you dont have an external SD card, backup and repartition your internal SD using AIO toolkit (choice 4 in the toolkit, then select the new unlocked ICS bootloader, and 512 MB system partition, or whatever your preferred size is, then run the internal SD fixer which follows that step) and try again.
The backup is on external SD
I have already repartitioned the internal SD with the default ICS layout (1.5G system)

Then try backing up to the internal SD and also try changing recovery to TWRP.
I have already tried TWRP but it cannot restore CWM backup
Currently I have stock rom , but I cannot rollback to the previous rom backup.
a few days ago I have used some app (found here in XDA) for optimizing internal SD .. is it possible this app to broke something in the internal SD ?

Hi! I assume that you were using the stock ics rom. Right? Stock ics use system partition as ext4 but data and cache are used as ext3. Since TWRP and CWM format data and cache as ext4 you cannot use your old backup of stock ics rom, unless you format both (data and cache) to ext3.
I created a zip which converts data and cache to ext3. Download from my attachment.
Flash the zip file then restore your backup.
Thanks :victory:
I will try
I want to make some space on my SD card. I just installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 android 4.3.1 and I only have 2.25gigs available on the SD card. There does not seem to be a way to format from the settings menu. If I format it from CWM will it wipe the "Internal Storage" section too or will it just wipe the sd card partition and seem like a very fresh install of 4.3?
Thanks in advance.

Well I decided to go ahead and try it and it worked fine. Anyone that is wondering, yes you can do that. Thanks everyone for the awesome work you do here!

Delete all files in the webos LOST.DIR (recycle bin).
Sideload Preware and install Tailor.
Resize the /media partition down to 400mb
Resize the /data partion as large as possible for android to use
I used Quarx's CM11 for a couple of days. While making a nandroid backup through CWM recovery (the .img found in Quarx's thread) I tried backing up to the internal storage. CWM reported /data backup error. After rebooting system reported it is low on storage. Somehow it only sees 3.8 GB of internal storage now.
Since then I tried formating and /data and restoring previous backups. Nothing helped. Flashed KDZ file, rooted again and now I'm using stock, locked bootloader. Still the system only sees 3.8 GB of internal storage.
Any pointers or ideas? My assumption is that CWM somehow partitioned internal SD while making the backup and now one of those partitions is not visible to the system. Is there any way to delete all internal storage partitions?

Internal storage is only 3.8 GB. CWM or any other recovery will NOT partition your internal storage.
But simple zip package can do it
2GB system partition is massive waste of space

Can you link to the page with this zip?
I don't have it. I just wanted to say that it's easy to do. But as lg software don't repartition memory during flash of kdz, it could be risky
