Having a issue with rom slots/internal memory. As the pictures suggest, I have no internal memory available or isn't recognized by safestrap. So far, I've flashed back to stock (MF1 4.2.2 from MF3) via one-click and wiped internal storage space completely to no avail. Simply haven't been able to find a definitive solution to fix.
Hours of continuous searching. Anyone familiar with this issue? Possibly corrupted?

Hey guys, I don't know how much available storage I had prior, however it was easily a GB free at LEAST as I put most of my media on my external sd-card.
I went to make a cwm backup before I flashed the latest CM nightly but stupidly forgot to tell it to backup to external storage.
Lo and behold, the backup failed and when I rebooted the phone I got notifications telling me that my storage is very low.
http://imgur.com/zjMiyGc - this screenshot shows that despite there being around 1/4 memory free (or otherwise uncategorised), I only have 229MB available.
I've looked in the clockworkmod folder and there's nothing there, but I can't figure out where all this memory has been taken up from?!
Is there any way I can locate the files/folder taking up the most storage on my device or has anyone encountered this issue before and know a fix?
I can't even download any new apps atm as they won't be installed due to low memory
are you using 4.2?
clear unused backup data from recovery.
also, disk usage from Play
So just a quick run down of the what happened. I am rooted with safestrap. I had the slimkat rom installed and I have a nandroid backup of my slimkat rom and stock rom.
I tried to use the app called internal to external to swap my internal and external sd so I would have more room (stupid because I didn't know what I was doing). First I copied all the files from my internal storage to the external sd per instructions including the safestrap files(Probably part of my problem). Then for those familiar with the app I selected the sdcard and sdcard-ext for the first two options and sys/dev/block/179:97 for the third option where it says select the sdcard at the system level. For the mount option I had unmask=0000.
Anyway I hit the swap button and not much changed. I checked storage and it showed that the internal storage was clear but it still only said 2gb were available. I then rebooted and it was stuck in a boot loop. Its pretty messed up no but with much playing I can still sometimes get into safestrap, but when I look in the rom slots it says there is 0 space available internal. I have tried to do wipes but it says it can't wipe cache. Right now it is active under slot 1 but if I try to activate any others it crashes. I tried to restore my nandroid but it fails. I can still move files in file manager though.
Is there anything I can do that might help? And would restoring with rsd lite even help at this point? Thanks for any ideas!
Ok so it a crazy turn of events it actually booted to stock jb and is still rooted but it is still pretty messed up. In files it says that the internal has 0 free space but I can still open it and see its files. It won't save pictures because it says no space is available. See pictures. I am going to try to leave it on so it might be a little easier to work on the files. Is there a way to unflip what ever I flipped with that app?
So with it booted back up I installed the external to internal app again and played with it some more. At first I had though I had made it worse because it said the SD card was the internal and the external. But I rebooted it and after a series of wipes and restore attemps I was able to restore my stock and slimkat backups. Everything looks good except I has a flashboot error every time I reboot but I think I might have found the a way to fix that also. Thank you Lord!
Hi, before the yelling...
Yes! I've searched for days about how can I install a rom in the microSD, but I could not find anything useful.
I got a problem with my i9000, it doesn't boot at all (bootloop), when trying to wipe, it fails, shows problems at formatting, when trying to install a new rom, it fails, so after reading for days, I found that, the internal memory is corrupted/damaged, so the only thing I was able to do was remove (with heat) the internal memory and install a new rom inside the external microSD.
But that's the problem, so far, I've removed the internal memory without problems, but now, I can't find an useful guide that shows how to install the rom in the external microSD... :crying:
Can someone help me? I know I just lost all my data, that's not important, I want my phone back again... and sending it to Samsung is not a choice (I live in Venezuela and here doesn't exists an official Samsung support)...
Thanks for reading...
Read this and this.
Upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.1 rooted yesterday.
I think when I did that, I stored my files from my previous install hidden somewhere on my phone. I have over 6GB of my available space taken up and all I've put on my phone so far is a few ringtones. The only thing that makes sense is that the pictures and videos I had on my phone before are placed somewhere else.
I can't find them though. Does anyone have any ideas? I did try a factory reset before upgrading to 5.1, so that obviously didn't completely wipe my internal storage.
Ive posted this in rom related forum but thought maybe here i could get more answers.
I was running sammy 5.5.9 with barbossa 2.8.7.0 without problems. Waking up this morning(too late by lacking of alarm) i found my phone rebooting time after time... when i entered recovery i mentioned there was 0mb of internal storage. The phone does get in recovery and downloadmode also shows my ext. sd card. It also shows internal memory although thats shows 0 mb.
I tried factory reset.......failed
I tried installing rom........failed
Is this a case of dead phone or is here someone willing/able to help me??
No one?
