I followed the steps in Neo's thread about repartitioning and ended up in sh** where I can not see sdcard0 (internal memory) and phone says there is no micro sd card inserted even though it is.
I tried with terminal commands to fix storage permissions, but it doesn't allow me anything as it says files are read only.
I flashed the uninstaller as well which says it should help and did not help.
Any other ideas? :/

Which recovery is installed? Try AdrianDC's latest TWRP. Also CM13 might help as it will repartion the storage.

Thank you very much for answer, almost gave up on the phone pretty much.
Twrp is 2.8.xxx something (one supplied with Neo's rom), I tried with 3.0 did not help. Tried with Clockworkmod didnt help either.
I will search for AdrianDC TWRP and give it a go.
Cm13 I tried but did not want to apply the storage change because it could not find "system" partition, (almost bricked it I guess) but I managed to fix that with stock rom, and could later reflash cm 12.1
But I will try flashing CM13 again, and come back with info in case you will be able to give some input again!
Thanks for now!

Cheers for links, Tried with CM13, no success like before getting error when flashing the zip:
"sdcard could not be mounted (ext4/exfat ?) please verify your partition file system
You are agreeing to format your SDCard
UserData partition still contains files"
so doesnt let me flash 13.
And to repair the partitions I guess I just try the TWRP and under advance the repair option right?
Terribly sorry to bother so much, but I like the phone, and would love to fix it again!

Done and done, but I basically ended up on the same spot where it said unable to mount /system + previous error about sdcard
and now can not flash anything anymore (so have to flash official rom again to start up my phone)
Maybe im doing something wrong with flashing, but i doubt it. (flashtool64 is which im using) fastboot, and under the option of select kernel to flash.
then rest is done in recovery anyway with installing, right?
At the moment I am installing official rom, so I can start over with flashing twrp, rebooting, then flashing cm13
One thing I learned to always backup working system before doing anything!

I'm sorry to hear that.
Once stock rom is on it, try to flash neos kernel and then boot into recovery. In there flash Adriandc's twrp (the zip file).
After that reboot and try to flash cm13. If this still doesn't work you could try Adriandc's files for repartitioning. He did some awesome work.
I'm on my phone right now so I'll keep it short, if you need further assistance I'll try to help you as soon as i get to my PC

Tried exactly like that, same error when trying to flash cm13 :"Updater process ended with ERROR:7

I guess I ruined something really bad when trying to repartion following neo's guide, (twrp says about partitions this:
- Internal storage: (1812mb)
- Legacy SDCard (0mb)
- Micro SDCard (7488mb)
-USB OTG (0mb)
If you have any more suggestions I can try, otherwise we can give up! feels like nothing would work, though much love for taking your time trying to help me! <3

It doesn't look that bad at all. Which version of TWRP is currently on your phone? (also the build date)
It looks like basketbuild is down right now, but once it's back up again you could try this zip:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/CyanogenMod/XperiaBlue
it will repartition your phone to it's original partition table

Yeah, boot into TWRP, flash a new TWRP (I think it was 20th july or newer), then reboot straight into recovery again and flash the restore_sd zip
My phone booted up now with the 12.1, and there is internal memory back, 11gb out of 11gb free, accessable, and everything.. No idea what caused it to appear again but something what you said basically helped me and restored it back to original.
So thank you a lot! I kinda want to try and repartition it again to have more space for apps, but im afraid ill just blow it again.
You think I should try installing cm13 now as storage looks normal again?

Same here, I am usually good at doing these procedures... but last night, after loading the recovery (and followed directions from XDA and youtube video exactly), the internal storage was inaccessible from twrp, even though I saved the superuser zip in the download area, it could not be reached by the twrp file browser. In my desperate attempt to fix this, I followed another members poor advice and ended up essentially wiping the phone....
Now, I can boot into fastboot and twrp.... but it does not get past the white HTC start up screen and is stuck there.
If anyone can share a link to the best method to fix this issues, I appreciate it! Whether sideloading a rom, or restoring factory stock, please help!. Thank you.

Feeling very happy with my phone now that it has been fixed.. much thanks to your advice, I was able to look at the posts and video and recovered my device to re-lock, loaded stock RUU, then went right back to unlocking, installing recovery and rom (CM 10.1). 2nd time around worked as predicted.
It took a few nervous moments, but was well worth the effort now that the phone is essentially a nexus 5 like device for me. I will not miss Sense or blinkfeed at all. Never really used Zoe and camera software features.. Could those be installed separately as an additional camera app besides the standard CM supplied version?

I also wiped everything on my phone and formatted the internal sd card with TWRP. I wanted a fresh start and thought I could just mount the internal sd card thru recovery and transfer my rom.zip off my laptop. Very BIG mistake, as I was unaware that TWRP does not mount/format properly! The above quote by Ms. Pinks was the first method that I tried, but did not work because TWRP rendered my internal memory useless.......phone would no longer recognize it. After several hours of failed attempts I just gave up for the night. In the morning, I did some reading on Clockwork Mod Recovery on other forums and it got alot of positive reviews........mounts/formats/wipes partitions properly! It just does'nt have some of the bells and whistles that TWRP does. I proceeded to flash it thru fastboot using the fastboot flash recovery cwm.image command. Once flashed, I was able to boot into recovery and reformat my internal sd card properly! After that, I used adb to push my rom.zip to the card and flashed away! I have tried all the functions in CWM and it works beautifully! (I love TWRP, but there are to many bugs in it's current state.....for this phone at least) Gonna be using CWM from now on. Hope my experience can help some other user's who screwed up too.

I just did that and did a full wipe. It's still saying failed, I can't seem to find out what's the problem. Only having issue flashing to stock but everything else seems to be fine.
good luck with that. best thing I can suggest is try some different button combos. try a different order of operations some how. in twrp, full wipe, system reset, then reboot back into recovery, another wipe /reset and then flash. that's the extent of my knowledge. you said you redownloaded the stock files to flash...maybe find a different place to download it from, could have downloaded a bad file twice?
Are you using the one from the wiki? I just tried it with TWRP 2.5.0.0 and it worked fine.

You are probably going to have to use Odin to flash stock. It is in the wiki.
If you do need it, I posted a copy of Odin for our phone in this thread:

You should probably try to Odin flash TWRP first and see if that fixes it.

I've flashed using Odin before a while ago when my phone was bricked. I'll have to read this over again and give it a shot. I'll let you know if I need help, thank you so much for your time meek! I appreciate it, I'll let you know how it goes after flashing TWRP with Odin.
Reset your TWRP settings, also, try downloading with a different browser and try under linux. Some browsers and anti-virus have issues with android files and delete them without warning.
Thank you so much for your help guys! I got it to work by flashing using Odin. I'm having a little bit of an issue though, every time my phone dies it starts having problems with the external memory. Like for example, my phone dies and I try to open my camera it'll tell me "not enough space blah blah" and when I try to change the settings through the camera, it just force closes. Not only for the camera, also other apps that need external storage like waze. It won't let me use the GPS because there's no memory. Mind you, I have a 16gb sd card in the phone. Any fix for this situation?
Using AOIP Linaro ROM btw. I couldn't post at the original thread because of my low post count so I'm hoping I get some help here.
Thanks you guys for the help! I really appreciate it.
Hello, I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed a recovery. I flashed a new ROM, TikTak 4.42. After flashing the rom from CWM it started and went to a constant blue screen.
I flashed a new recovery via fastboot and flashed the rom again, it started but when it got to the locale selection and restarted after 2 seconds. This would repeat over and over. I decided to do a wipe, but inadvertantly wiped my storage too.
I pushed another ROM to the device via adb and flashed that via CWM, same problem as the constant rebooting. I tried to flash a RUU from fastboot but got a "Signature Fail" error.
My phone has access to the bootloader and recovery. My storage is empty so I have no roms on my phone. In mounts and storage it always says "mount /system" and "mount /data". Could this be a problem with system?
If you have any questions please ask, I'm quite new to all this so may not have included everything necessary. If anyone can help me fix my phone totally, I could make a small donation thorugh paypal
Thanks in advance

The newest CWM is 6.0.4.9. My suggestion would be to delete LGFreedom folder off your SD Card and re-run the FreedomFlex app again as it will then download the latest CWM and you can just flash the recovery again. I had the same issue with 6.0.4.8
Problem is I can't get anything accept CWM, and I can't mount internal card, LG driver is already installed, and I tried to reinstall it, but he is still not seeing it. Any idea how to access it? If I have to have old Sprint ROM to install FreedomFlex again, I need somehow to transfer it to the internal memory and start the installation from there.

I don't quite get what the problem is.... Are you stuck in CWM or can you boot into the rom?
If you're stuck in CWM and don't have a backup or any other rom to flash (why?), you can always sideload a rom using adb (if you are stuck in a CWM bootloop look here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744482)
If you can boot back into the rom, follow my previous reply....
The only other option is to flash back to stock by following the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083

If you're stuck in CWM and don't have a backup or any other rom to flash (why?), you can always sideload a rom using adb (if you are stuck in a CWM bootloop look here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744482)

Can't boot back to the ROM, I have stock ROM downloaded on hard drive, but I thought if I make a mistake, I would easily copy it to internal memory, and install it from there. Problem is that I cant, adb devices is showing nothing, so I can't use shell to copy ROM.

Well it looks like the only option is to go back to stock from the link I posted and start again, but make sure you've got everything on your phone you need before trying anything... Also trust me CM11 isn't worth bothering with just yet as there is a lot of issues with it, but I'm sure it will get there as PlayfulGod is working on it

Tnx for help, but I spent 4 hours trying to solve why I can't reach internal memory. At the end, LG drivers weren't working, so I pushed manually to set it as ADB port , and finally found the phone through adb devices command. After that, returning stock was easy. Now, I'm on CM11, thanx on those links, combining with one more thread and the problem is solved.
So I installed PA Beta 5. Everything is pretty good. But I'm having issues such as not being able to view the gallery and not being to download things. I thought I could go flash a new ROM but I can't because every time I transfer something to Ext SD and exit, the files disappear. I can't transfer to root of internal storage because it doesn't exist anymore.
What can I do? Am I stuck on PA forever? Please help
Never heard something like that.
You can try installing TWRP from XZDualRecovery and then copying the ROM to your internal or external storage, it may work!!

Okay, installed XZ recovery. Can you guide me step by step what to do? I'd like to go back to LiquidSmooth UBL Milestone. I have the file on my computer but not on the phone as I cannot copy it.

Don't you have any other device which you can use to copy the zip to your microSD?

I think a SD Card reader will do the job? I'll go look for it. I have a few.
EDIT: I'll move the ROM to SD Card and install from there in recovery. Is that going to be fine?
You can even try this,
1. Boot into TWRP by pressing the volume down button ONCE after the green LED and two short vibrations (it'll turn purple).
2. Connect your phone to the PC while in the Recovery.
3. Copy the zips to any memory (internal or external).
4. Wipe everything and flash the ROM.
BTW, you can try RR Build 4 (L 5.1) with Tangerine Kernel, it's as stable as a rock after one or two fixes.

Hmm I was actually thinking of going to CM12.1
And thank you so much for your help! I'll report back if any issues arise. Also, I'm from India as well!

Okay, do PM me your experience with CM12.1 (I'm a little afraid of nightlies, hence didn't test out)

I soft-bricked my phone after dirty flashing some nightly over another nightly.
And to further complicate my problems my battery gave up on me.
It refused to charge for two days bro, nothing short of a nightmare!!
PS: Did the TWRP method work??
