Hi, I can't post in the dedicated forum yet but maybe my question can be raised here:
I flashed the "Switch SD" Mackay kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2532813 ) on top of the normal one and indeed my external SD card of 32Gb shows up as "USB-Storage" and all apps seem to work OK.
In the proces the original internal storage has gone missing, how do I get it back?

I don't think you can get it back. I've never used the Switch SD kernel but I think the whole point of it is to replace the internal card with your external card. If that is the case then the internal card might stop working.

In recovery mode the internal card is visible and can be mounted via usb but in normal mode the only thing present is the external 32 gb card.
there must be a way to make use of both but in reverse order.

Maybe it's something wrong with fstab.aries. If that's the case then you can't do anything because changes to fstab.aries are done before compiling the kernel. Ask kasper_h about this. He might be able to help you.

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.
Hi,
I just changed the mounting of the sdcard and emmc to be reversed. As far as I understand, the sdcard is "usually" the internal sd, and emmc is "usually" the external sd.
The biggest issue I faced was that everytime I reboot my phone, I'll have to remove and reinsert the sd card so that the sdcard is detected by the phone. After I swapped the mounting, everything went well. Is there a reason why the devs use the scheme?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm seeing this on CM nightly 204
haven't use nightly 204 but in stable CM7, there is an option called 'Use Internal Storage' under setting menu 'CyanogenMod Settings'->'Application', check it then internal sdcard would be mount as /sdcard.
Hmm... That's a good option.
Just wondering why the it is not checked by default.
I didn't have sd inserted at first, so *nothing* is working. Camera complains, installing apps failed, etc.
CyanogenMod reverses the sd and emmc mountain as the internal sd is rather small and external is typically larger. They do this since many apps do not offer a way to switch storage location. It is possible to switch them back and there is a tread on it but since I'm on mobile I really can't link to it right now.

I see, that made sense... Yes, option to swap it back is mentioned by hkkp.
But I still think it should default to sd as internal sd, emmc as external flash. Let user make the switch if they wishes to...

i use nightly 204, and didn't happen like you did. i prefer external sd card is default and internal to be external. because external sd is bigger then internal one and faster i use class 10

Odd... Must be some dirty data during flash. Could you check this out?
1. Go to Terminal / adb to the phone
2. type "cat /etc/vold.fstab" without the quotes
3. paste the output here
Could you also check if "Settings->Cyanogenmod Setting->Applications->Use Internal Storage" is checked by default?
Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.
recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.
I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

I was on stock froyo V10a, anyway after a couples of tries a notification that the sd card was corrupted popped and gave me the option to format it once again, this time it worked.
So solved, thanks guys.
More comments on my new little issue would be much appreciated
Ummm
Experience CM10 like never before!!
Assuming u have the LG and Apx drivers installed then proceed with the installation.If not back off!!
I had only the stock froyo rom and i had found installing other roms kind of a pain i wanted the ultimate quick experience to crown this device with a great retirement(adding jellybean to it). Lets get started.
Downloads:
-Cwm special installation file. (u need external sd card for cwm to work)
-My Patched CM10.1 aka 4.2.2-
-gapps
What u need to to:
-put ur device in apx mode.(remove battery, then hold vol +&- for 4 secs then connect usb and dont let go until u notice device is linked to pc)
-go to cwm and run flash.bat.Wait till everything is done and it tells u "press any key to continue..."
-On reboot u should be stuck on CWM no matter what u do.
-Now move to mount and storage and mount usb storage.
-Transfer my patched file and gapps to ur device.
-Then install zip from sd card and then install my file and reboot.
-Boot should take abit long but it eventually boots and works flawlessly.
Issues:
- u need an sd card for cwm & rom to work very well or else ur phone wont be able to read ur memory and so wont store anything.
-After installation the internal SD card wont work so go into recovery and flash this file.(u need an external sd card as this will swap your external and internal storage)fixed with this
-The method above is usually reverted and as of now i've found now way to keep it stable to use external memory!!
-During call hang-up doesn't work.Go to accessibility in settings and choose "power button ends call" & "home button answers call" for the workaround to this.

Mounting internal sd card??Which step is that actually?If its in the rom at settings /storage part then try rebooting
help
you say
-After installation if u have an sd card go into settings and storage then mount sd card so as to use internal sd card.(This wont work if u have no external sd card)
Credits to wkpark an awesome dev.
i follow that but when im in then setting/storage i see mount(internal sd card)

-[update]:"u need to edith vold.stab in system/etc and do viceversa sdcard1 and sdcard0 then reboot."Meaning change any sdcard0 to sdcard1 and any sdcard1 to sdcard0 in this file.(They are a bunch of code u can read using cmfile manager.)

Bad then cuz that was the only idea i got.It means we r stuck on using external sd cards.Just reflash the rom.Sorry for the former.Only prob is I dont know y that(method through settings) doesnt work for u.It did for my GF's su660(because i dont own it:silly.Just try again one never knows.(not the edit code method):fingers-crossed:
so you mean im going to try this method?

yep
is this is the right step???/
1.) put my android su660 on
2.) go to camera pretending you have to take a picture (i see the word telling no internal sdcard)
3.) after that put my external sdcard on while on camera mode then
4.) then go to setting/storage click mount
i did that procedure but i still getting an error no luck on mounting my internal sd card..

Then just undo what u did by reversing what u changed.If internal storage doesnt work then cm10 doesnt work with ur internal storage so get an external one.(way cheaper than getting a new device):angel:Normally my tips in previous post should help.
hi, the changing of sdcard0 to sdcard1 worked for me but same as others my internal storage is not being detected funny i also tried to reverse but no good, good thing i have extra sd card lolx too bad we won't be able to use the 16gb internal storage... if there is any news for this please share thanks!
edit for follow-up: i tried to reinstall the rom you created but this time this is what i did,
1. put phone to apx then flash.bat
2. put phone to CWM mode
3. mount sd card
4. my computer detected the external sd card and the internal but it says format so i did format the internal
5. installed the rom and then gapps then when i try to mount emmc on CWM this time its working hehe
6. reboot phone then i checked the storage BOOM! there it is! internal and external detected! then only problem i have now is the camera app is missing lolx any help???

those are some known bugs and im not sure their fixes are out yet.But audio on calls works for me though!!
If you are rooted, just use Clocksync. It will automatically sync the time and date for you, so no more going back to 2007
hi there!
I managed to flashed CM10 with CWM 5.0.2.8e recovery. Problem is rom can't mount internal & external sdcards. while I can manually mount the internal sdcard in cwm to copy files, external is no way to be found in cwm. I already posted a reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772 but seems wkpark is such a busy person. Also flashed those 2 patch zip files (su660-emmc-fixer-default & switched) but to no avail.
Hope you can give me light on this. I love having JB on this phone (SU660). Just aching on this in/ex sdcards mounting problem.

dont be lazy mate!Read the thread and get others problems.It has been mentioned before.
Anyone used the V to backup and restore using CWM 6.0.1.2.
When doing mine, it reduced my internal memory to 3.7 GB rather than keeping it at 8GB.
Any ideas how ti get it back to the correct size?
Regards
Does anyone know how to completely delete partitions on the internal SD using adb or something?
I just want the full amount of memory to be visible again
Cheers
My internal storage got corrupted some time ago, wiping internal sdcard in recovery did solve my problem..
Why would you like to do it in adb?
I used CWM to create a backup, when it was 'freeing up space' it resized my internal SD card to 3.71 GB (used to be 8GB).
Ive tried a format in recovery already, but the size does not change, i want to know if there is a way to look at / manage the internal SD card partitions to see what CWM has done, and then format or restore it from there.
Cheers
.. Ok so u can't fill up your internal sdcard above 3.7gb right?
idk much about partitions..
But what if u mount the internal storage as MSC mode (instead of MTP?)
Correct, the internal card is just not showing the right available space.
I have not found a way to mount the internal SD card as MSC yet, been looking, so i could possibly then use mini partition tool on it.
I remember Doomload had a way for the Xperia S, could check to see if it works for the V.
i´m not sure but i have read somewhere that only 3,7 Gb is user available
http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=1398673
that´s in swedish can be difficult to understand but there is stated about it, i dunno if it is correct
Hmmm, i actually never noticed that, could be right all along then.. thanks for that, ill have a scout round to confirm if thats the case. Seems strange, why would 4GB be required on an SD card. Either way, at least i know it's ok now, haha.
Regards
