Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?

Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...

Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...

I think I'm too inexperienced to be rom'ing on my everyday phone. I was running Team Objection lf5 and it was great except for google voice and MHL-out. So I decided to play with CM9. Now I cannot revert back to Objection? CWM recovery menu does not see ANYTHING on my external sd card. But when I pop the card into my laptop everything is still there, including all 3 of my CWM backup dates. What gives? I installed TWRP recovery to see if that was any different but it shows my backups as blank too. (Can TWRP even see/use CWM backup files anyways??).
So if the backups are there....how do you recommend I go about regaining access to them? Thank you in advance for saving my butt!
TWRP cannot use CWM backups and when u boot into CWM u should have an option to restore from internal memory or SD card, which is external. Try that

Might be that CM9 is having terrible seeing the external. Put the backup on your internal.

Got it. I'm in CM9 right now. Got USB storage "working" in that it connects, but while copying my clockworkmod folder to the internal it will cause the phone to reboot each and every time. (4x so far). I'll keep trying but this was an absolute waste of a day.
External has been wonky on CM9, just flash another ROM, preferably tw based, so you can transfer the file, then restore your backup.

Holy crap the whole problem was incompatibility between CWM and CWMtouch versions. Never would have guessed, but then again I know so little that I thought the backups they create would be compatible. Thanks everyone for your help.
CM7 was/is great on my Incredible, but it appears I am not ready for CM9 on the Note. (With the bugs in CM9 I cannot believe people are asking for CM10 already, yikes). Then again, the is on my everyday, daily driver including work phone so I need every little thing to work right.
Hey, I've lost all photos from my S3, when i was installing the JellyBean leak. There isn't any way to mount internal SD card? because all the apps that i downloaded to mount it, don't work. When I try to use a program to recover the photos (like recuva), don't recognize any disk. There is anything I can do? Like resign to recover anything ?
Try via Android Commander and locate your DCIM folder .
But you may have wiped it .
Photos will be in your Nandroid backup .

Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing the leaked Rom??
If no, then there's not much you can do about it.

Hi!
I am facing the same problem here, but i have a nandroid backup...!
Can i retrieve photos from that??
No, Nandroid only backps the system, not the storage locations.
Sorry to hear you lost your data, but you most probably have no chance of getting them back.
I'd recommend using a sync tool to keep the important data (Call logs, SMS's, photos, ...) all stored on the cloud (usually Google servers) so even in worst-case scenarios you still have at least access to those.

Nandroid does not backup internal sdcard.. So most probably your photos are lost.. In future use drop box to sync your photos automatically.. You can never be too sure..
Also, use cwm rather than odin to flash firmwares..

Guys need a bit of help here.
I was on ICS wanam rom initially and I did 2 things:
1. Changed my csc
2. Did a wipe etc and updated to JB wanam rom
Now the internal sdcard folder becomes sdcard0, and more frustratingly, the data is gone, ie the pictures, music etc that I saved on internal sd card. App settings etc that are backed up via titanium are intact, but the pictures, music, downloaded files etc are missing.
The strange thing is, my wallpaper is still the same, even though I can't find the source file on my internal sd!
My gut feel is that, the data isn't actually deleted, but stored in some obscure location that I can't access.
Can someone help please? Thanks

If you were using ICS before and than you flashed it to JB than it will WIPE EVERYTHING in the phone except External Sd Card. you can try to recover them by using some of software in the market available to recover deleted files.

I didn't know that at all Why was it not mentioned anywhere?!?! When I went from Froyo to GB, I don't recall everything being wiped.

Every single place that I've seen mentions of wipes or CSC changes warns of data deletion. I don't think you're looking hard enough.

Yea I read those, but I thought it meant wiping the configs,system file, etc, and not stuff on the internal SD card. Even when you go to Settings, Factory Reset, it says 'pictures, media files' etc are excluded from the wiping.
So even if I load up an old Nandroid, the files aren't recoverable?
confirmed that restoring old Nandroid backup doesn't recover the pictures/media/etc.
Change CSC wipe is deadliest type of wipe available!!!!
Yeah, unfortunately all is lost. There is a moral in this - always have an off phone backup!
Out of curiosity, I believe that once you try to change CSC there's no warning. Is that true?

Yup. I always back up with Nandroid and Titanium and SMS backup and restore. But when the internal SD data is wiped, it's useless because some of the backups are stored in the internal SD which got wiped!
And yes, no warning prior to or after the CSC change. So be very careful!
I lost my internal sd data once due to that csc thing as well. Fortunately I made a full backup a week earlier. Yet it's still very very frustrating.
Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.
I searched the forums and I don't see anything sorry if I missed it. Is there a work around to save apps to sd card? Tried updating some apps and phone is telling me insufficient storage. Thanks for your help in advance. I have it set to go to sd card but when I got to where the apps are to move or what have you there is nothing to move to sd.

Any help would be much appropriated as I am stuck can't update apps or install like this. Did I miss a work around in the OP?
How bad is your storage situation? In terms of MB available?
Also, do you already have Titanium Backup installed? If so, just back up a bunch of apps to your SD card, delete the installs, and then restore from the backups after you've got Folder Mount running and your storage cleared up.

As a reminder, the "/mnt/sdcard" device is INTERNAL memory on this phone. You want to move your apps to /mnt/extSdCard, which is the microsd slot.
I've never tried it, but pretty sure I saw an option in Titanium Backup to move app to sd.

I haven't pulled the battery oddly enough..(you would think that I would have done that first)... I will try that when I get home as it is in a otterbox case and I am at work and it's a pain to get out. As far as ME7 Builds go last I heard once you flash to a ME7 build you would be stock on ME7. Which I am not trying to do. I am happy with touchwhiz at the moment. Not really into the plain dark look as it is just that to plain for me. Which Rom where you suggesting that you can revert back to a MDK build with? I have a nandroid already. But I tried deleting apps to see if if would let me download it and all it does is delete that app and I can't put the app i just took off back on. With all the storage available. Just kind of baffled that no one has really ran into this. I have TWRP on it now. I might switch it to 4EXT Recovery as it just has way more options.
1. Deleted apps no difference
2. Deleted Cache no difference (TWRP style wipe)
3. When I get off going to try and wipe Delv/Cach (see if that does anything)
4. If all else fails I will do a complete wipe and start with that app.(Even though you can just change the file destination in root explorer to go to sd card. There is also 2 places it stores on your phone you have a internal sd and a emulated storage. I believe this is wear the hang up is being caused.
Just seems strange that you are getting any type of error with the amount of internal storage you have available. When you get an app from tue store itsaves to your phones internal storage, which is not even close to being full. Also if you are rooted you can go back and forth between MDK and ME7 builds. Devs dont really mess with bootloaders when making roms...
