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"Phiremod" is nothing more than a glossed over CM7 nightly, and an out of date one at that.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.
I have experienced problems in 2.3.3 roms. I have tried both CM7 and now MIUI. When i go to those roms my external SD card cannot be found. Not in filemanager or any other app.
If i go to /emmc it says there are no files. If i go into CWM and try to format /emmc it says "E: failed to mount /emmc (no such file or directory)".
If i try to format /sd-ext i get "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /devv/block/mmcblk1p2
Error formatting /sd-ext!"
What format is best to get the SD-card recognized if i am to format it on the pc and then put it in the phone?
I want to know a solution too
Did you ever flash JVK?
Than this is your problem. The new bootloader doesnt work properly with CM7 and MIUI so just flash the older one and your problem is solved
As of last night I'm running CF Root 3 JVK on Gingerbread 2.3.3.
When I tried using the ext4 App to convert the file systems to ext4, it was successful for:
/dbdata
/data and
/cache
However for /system, it says:
Code:
Using: internal sdcard
Converting /system
- Backing up files ...
- Creating ext4 filesystem ...
- Restoring files ...
- Restore failed ! Not enough space ?
- Performing rollback ...
- Creating rfs filesystem ...
- Restoring files...
- Rollback success!
I cleared up some space on my phone and now I have 1.87GB available space on the sd card, and 13.26GB Available space on the USB storage.
and 1.75GB Available Space on System storage.
However I still can't convert /system to ext4.
Any ideas why this might be the case?
You need to free some space on /system to be able to successfully convert it to ext4. Apparently, ext4 needs some extra space for the conversion.
This is explained in the CF-Root main post, or in the CF-3.0 release information.
Okay thanks for that!
All the answers were in the original thread. I was just searching for the wrong terms.
I eventually downloaded Super Manager, activated its root mode and deleted the Aldiko eBook app from /system/app
That freed up enough space to convert /system to the ext4 filesystem!

Hi all... Here there're many dev so maybe i'm so lucky to find someone that can help me....
I'm going to convert my phone's partition to ext4 but i have problem with /data. This because the phone has 4 gb of internal memory that Samsung push under /dev/block/mmcblk0. This memory is partitioned in three part /dev/block/mmcblkop1 (internal SD) /dev/block/mmcblkop3 (/data) and /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (empty).
How can i format /data into ext4? I tryed different way but the phone doesn't boot. What is the correct way to make it?
My Phone (GT-I9003)
UPDATE: recovery can mount it without issue.... init.rc not.... why???
Hi, I recently installed Full Advance 6.0.1 ROM for my i9000 and whilst trying to flash gapps via the TWRP that came with the rom, I got an error saying that my /system partition was too small to flash gapps. How can I resize the /system partition?
Thanks
