Hello, I'm new to XDA and would appreciate some help for an issue I'm having with my phone, I have a Blu Studio 5.0S in which I flashed a custom ROM based on MIUI v5 with Jelly Bean, my phone had a stock Jelly Bean ROM, I don't know if I'm doing the flashing steps right because I am wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache only, even tho, I wiped System too once and the issue persists.
My phone has 4GB storage in 2 partitions, one for the system and the second one is used as SD when there's no SD in, but if I do put an SD in, that second partiton stops working as SD (If I had Apps installed in it, they won't work), and is mounted as "USB Storage/Internal SD", now, that's the normal way it is supposed to work, but when I flashed the custom ROM, MIUI keeps detecting my SD as Phone Storage (The second partition that is useless for installing apps in it) and detects the second partition as Phone Storage, What I want is to keep the MIUI based ROM but having my storage in the right order, otherwise I have a 32GB SD useless and a phone running out of space for my apps. I did not find any help in the threads and I'd really appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problem, sorry if my english is not that clear and thanks in advance.
You won't find much MIUI help here. Not many people really use it and the only ones that work on it are porters.

To be honest Where ever you got the rom from. As the MIUI developers sont deal with bug reports that come from non Xiaomi devices, it is closed source so cant really do a whole lot other wise.

That's what I did, posting the question in the thread from where I got the ROM, just afraid none's gonna reply since the one guy who was dealing with this stuff doesn't own such devide now and stopped testing stuff, I just thought if the problem has something to do with the kind of partitions in one and other system someone would guide me to look for a way to solve my problem by myself.
Thanks a lot Mr. Zelendel, a hug from Colombia!
So... I just found out that this ROM had an App (In mandarin chinese) to switch the Internal Storage and External Storage (SDCard0- SDCard1), and that's one of the first Apps I was uninstalling every time I flashed, I have no idea if this is an App made by Xiaomi or the porter of this

did something about it, but now I can say this ROM is perfect and works very smoothly on my device.

My Tablet (Hyundai A7HD) with CM9 (unofficial) started behaving very strange.
It doesnt recognize my sd card, nor its own internal nand storage anymore. (Apps from Google Play can still be installed on its App partition tho)
I dont know what to do, since i cant even flash an update through CWM anymore without a functioning storage medium.
the sd card works fine on my pc and i cant format the internal storage through my tablet.
what else can i do to fix this?
I already made a post about this (more than a month ago) where someone advised me to use ADB. But that doesnt work, so i installed Connectbot, which works.
The person who told me to install it back then stopped replying, and even after posting in that thread to keep it alive, i recieved no more replies. So maybe with this new thread someone might be able to help me.
I am grateful for any help you can offer.

Im not sure it actually is hardware, since the app-space should only be a partition of the NAND storage. If this partition works, i think the hardware should be fine.
does factory default work ?do it,May fix the software reason.if no effect,send it to factory and fix it:what:this might the last measure you can do.

Factory reset and normal firmware update dont work anymore because cm9 is installed.
Tablet is from china, so no warranty.
i find many people had Chinese device,honesty,i was a college student from China.and i wish i can help anyone who has problem about Chinese device ,app,....language translation....but seems i couldnt help you this time＠_＠the hardware should be in trouble

I still think its only a software issue, to be honest.
I think this might just be fixable.
I also think so,i searched your device in Chinese page but failed to find any useful info for your problem,sorry
sent from my 中华 phone
Still, i thank you very much!
Maybe someone else has any idea how to make this work again!
i sure hope so...
EDIT: I finally managed to flash it back to stock!
Apparently my anti-virus program prevented Livesuit from flashing it!
Now everything works beautifully again!
Im so happy right now ; )
Had my phone for a few months now and at the moment its rooted and ive installed a few roms on it. At the moment ive using Omega Rom which i do like apart from a few issues. Camera always asks me to install SD card.... even though its in. Anyway, not bothered with that for now.
Got 2 options at the moment.
1 - Unroot and install stock Samsung Firmware. I want to do this as there are 2 apps that dont work with a rooted phone which id like to use. Samsung Video App and NowTV. Id like the samsung app to work as when i 1st purchased my phone i had free credit to spend on it and i purchased a few films on there which ive never got round to watching. As for NowTV and possibly SkyGo, i need my phone rooted for these to work,
2 - Stick with a rooted phone and custom firmware. Im keeping an eye out for the new JellyBam v6 which hopefully is released this weekend.
Ideally id like to have the Jellybam rom installed with my phone unrooted. Would this be possible??
SuperUser app -> remove root
jellybam v6.7.0 Samsung GT-I9300
hi guys, it's my first post so i hope i'm in the right place.. just flashed jellybam v6.7.0 onto my phone and it's amazing, so smooth and quick compared to stock android jellybean.. however, i've got a constant message in my notification bar that says "blank SD card" and it won't let me mount SD, it keeps forcing me to format but i don't want to lose all my data. i've tried the card in my computer and it's definitely not corrupted, and all the data is still there. has anyone got any ideas what the problem is or how i can fix it?
many thanks in advance,
cheers

you're not in the right place, this is someone else's post. you should have posted in the Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting under a new thread. if your sd card works in you PC, transfer all your stuff over and format it, then try it!
Hello all
First of all let me thank you for this forums, a real goldmine of tips and info
Please excuse my silliness in this post, but it's a byproduct of me writing from a tablet. Pure horror.
The situation where I find myself at the moment is quite usual but with some complications.
Yesterday I decided I was going to install link2sd to finally live a new app addicted life, and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363&nocache=1
And everything went fine until I tried to use link2sd and it didn't see my sd.
I then had a more serious look and I realised my phone doesn't recognise the sd somehow.
Here is the complications: I am on holidays and I don't have my laptop with me.
Normally I would format the sd again, probably I have done something weird, but with no computer and such, what are my options?
I was considering to upgrade to 10 as well, would it be possible with no PC somehow?
Here it is all. The phone is working anyway for now. It's just yo fix it so I can shoot silly pics in beautiful Amsterdam
Thank you all!

I see so any quick fix available to get the sd mounted somehow?
Hey, I'm currently stuck with the THL 4400.
A friend gave it to me, because he was not able to move apps to the SD-Card, not even with apps and root.
Long story short, I'm not able to fix it.
He got one with android 4.2 so the first thing I did was flashing the official 4.4, with no effect.
As far as I know, every THL 4400 user experiences this "bug".
I read that there should be a custom rom available to fix this, and that you can swap the internal space with the SD-Card.
Has anyone here fixed this, or know how to fix it? I can't find this custom rom others are talking about, and I don't know how to swap the space on this phone (Is it the same as the int to ext flash on other phones?).
Thanks in advance
Hi mate. Did you get anywhere with this? I'm having the same issue right now with my other half's phone. Moved as much as I can but she still gets the no space error.
I am currently using Oneplus one with which i am facing issues which i think have to deal with storage permissions.
Issues i am dealing with
I can't take any screenshots it says "can't save screenshot due to limited storage"
I can't take any photos it says "insert your sd card before using camera"
I can't Download apps like Chrome or anything like that
I can't download images from web
I can't even move files from my pc even though it detects it
I can't Move any of my files in my phone It says "Operation Failed"
Actually, i installed resurrection remix rom and installed gapps later discovered that my camera and downloading doesn't work.
My device is not rooted (i don't want to) and has TWRP recovery installed. and has my both rom and gapps in the internal storage which i can only access through TWRP. I don't have any important files on that phone so, i am good to delete them. But i only want a Nougat Clean install with proper functioning of storage. i tried so much but it doesn't work at all.
Please help me, this one's so horrible.:crying::crying::crying:

Hello!
Try to see if the information here help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Post back either back here or at the thread provided if you encounter difficulties.
Thanks, but as i have said earlier it doesn't allow me to download files in internal storage even though i have nearly 50 gb free. and i can't transfer files through my cable to phone. Now, that i have completely deleted everything i will figure out something to do with this. Anyway thanks,
Mohan
