Hi guys
I'm a noob in all of this... Not sure what went wrong, as I initially installed and rooted my Moto Z just fine. Installed custom ROMs no problem. However, after flashing another rom, I can't seem to pick up my internal storage on my device.
My PC recognises it and I can copy files over fine, but when I look in my file manager nothing. When I click show internal storage, there is nothing.
In TWRP, I can mount the internal storage, but I notice that I no longer see the Internal option under partitions. So booting into a rom is fine, but downloading anything from a browser tells me no SD card found(don't have an sd card in my phone) and no space available. It's as if it just doesn't recognise my internal storage , and is pointing to my SD card which I don't have one in.
Am I missing something here, as I just can't figure this out.
Thanks

I'm not able to get the Internal SD card to mount after installing the pre-beta cyanogenmod 7. Is there some setting I'm missing or something that I need to do in particular?
Prior to install I was on the alien build and everything worked fine. Now when I go to the root directory using RootExplorer it says 'the sd card is not currently mounted'.
I've had my atrix for a while and i'm not a complete noob, just not an avid poster. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I have checked the storage menu and i do have 1.17GB of free space.
It can be found under /mnt/emmc. Unfortunately, I have to inform you for future reference that this is the wrong forum for such a question. Q and A exists for a reason, but I hope I helped.
Please post in the correct sections. Thread moved.

Thanks for the help. I found that but how do I get, for example, Rom Manager or other applications to recognize that location?
Mr Clown, My apologies for posting in the wrong section.

+1 wondering the same
i would also like to know, as i have only a class 1 microsd card and it creates wakeup lag. if i take it out, there is no wakeup lag but my phone wont recognize the internal storage.
I think it varies by application. Some will let you browse there and set it as a default directory for things, but many will not. I have just gotten used to having duplicates of random stuff for now :S I think it is pretty unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Maybe someone will develop something like this:

That's for the Nook, but I can't see why someone couldn't do that for the Atrix. However, I would imagine it won't be our own CM7 team because their task is to port CM7, and thus they are following the CM standards.
I have this problem too, i dont hae a external SD Card
im used to the internal 16 gb as my memory
now iwth CM7 , the phone is lost, browsr wont download, titanium wont find the sd card, nothing is working
so is an EXTERNAL sd card a pre-requisite for CM7, i never knew this..
and if so, what does CM7 do with the huge internal memory if it saves everything to the external (atleast thats where apps see it)
Hi all
I have a Fujitsu ARROWS X F-05D, which running Android 2.3.5. It has 4GB internal storage and supports microSD card.
I tried to format the phone’s internal storage through Windows 7, the operation was failed during the formatting process. After that, I cannot access either the phone’s internal storage or micorSD card. Both of them show “Unavailable” under Settings Storage [Built-in storage] and [SD card]. The [Delete data in built-in storage], [Mount SD card] and [Erase SD card] were dimmed. I had performed a phone hard reset but the problem persists.
If I connect the phone with PC, windows can recognize there has USB mass storage attached and assigns two drive letters accordingly. However, if I want to access either of them, windows will ask to insert a storage media. In addition, the phone will not prompt to ask user to confirm connect the phone as a USB mass storage.
Without external storage, most apps cannot be functioned normally or simply can’t install at all. Could anyone please kindly advise how to fix it?
Regards,
Boy

Hi Jiffer,
Reflash a stock rom is a reasonable try. However, my phone is an unpopular model outside Japan, and I don't know Japanese to looking for help in Japanese forum. As such, I am unable to obtain either stock rom or custom rom for a try.
As a turnaround, I want to know how to locate the phone's internal storage and how to format it through adb.

Thats what Im here for
Was a Solution ever found this problem? I have the exact same issue.
Also reflashing the rom with a stock is not an option, as it requires the internal memory to do so.

I did solve the problem at last but unfortunately forget how to fix it since my handset was damaged by water linkage after a very short period.
I only remember the problem lies on the corruption of partition table. I replaced a file (sorry, forget what file again!) through adb. After reboot, the system prompts me something wrong in the partition table and asks me to format internal storage, after that. The device resumes normal.

Darn.... Well if you ever do remember which file it was and how you did it, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out
Same problem here
Any solution?
a bit of a resurrection post but I just resolved mine, I deleted the data/ cache of the contacts and contact storage.
I also purged every contact I any program I have and then reimported them into one program. I let it all populate and everything was fine.

Also resurrecting an old thread lol. So should i pull the internal sd card using adb and push it back after deleting it? Or would that be crazy.
After wiping everything and installing a fresh copy of hyperdrive 5.7 i started to get low storage notifications. Shows roughly 1gb free space available with misc files being a touch over 11gb. When I click on misc files to see what is hogging up all the room it says system memory is 6.38gb. So there's a 5gb ish difference that unaccounted for. Anyone have any ideas?
I've I tried going back to RLS4 and numbers were nearly identical. Reinstalled 5.7 and no change.
nandroid?
I assume you did a backup before flashing the new rom, is your recovery set to store backups in the external sd card or the "internal"? I've got TWRP and I'm pretty sure the default was to store it on the internal card. That may account for your missing space.

I had the same issue without realizing since I don't have much installed/stored on my phone, but this was the problem. My nandroid backup was still in my internal memory and it was taking up ~3gb worth of memory. So OP, this is probably your issue (like he said, I just figured I'd back him up).
Thats exactly what it was. didnt realize TWRP's default was internal storage.

I downloaded 5.7 from OTA onto my external sd card. Booted into recovery using ROM manager, wiped all data (x3). wiped cache, and then tried to install the new ROM and received an error. Any idea what is going on here.

Welcome to xda, it's hard to answer your question without additional information, like what the error was. Also if you want to get the attention of the Dev for this ROM you'll either want to ask your question on the thread for the ROM or else start a new thread in the Q&A section. Piggybacking your question on an unrelated problem isn't exactly kosher.
@amofiav Glad that was all it took. It is frustrating that so many apps default using the internal card for storage.

I think I am similarly afflicted! I can't figure how to check this and delete any unwanted files. I have connected my phone to my computer but cannot seem to locate any big unneeded files. I have less than 1 GB left of storage.
Help!
Thanks so much
Hi,
another forum recommended I register and ask my question here. I am not a techie. I don't know what I'm doing. This is probably a basic question, but with all the googling I've done, I can't find the answer!
Here goes, and please be easy on me:laugh:
My GS3 was running really slow, running down the battery, just in general not running as well as I remembered from a year before buying it. I decided to back it up, reset it and start from scratch. The phone has run AWESOME! One problem though; when it updated, it installed 4.3. Ever since, I can't do anything with my SD card. I get an error that the SD card is full, and if I look in the settings, it shows zero space on the SD card. If I plug it into my mac, it shows like 12gb of space.
I used to use Android File Transfer and that doesn't work anymore. I recently tried Airdroid, which works great for the internal storage, but tells me that my SD card is full.
Help!
PS I tried to post a link to a screenshot of what storage on my phone looks like, but since I'm a noob, I'm not allowed
When you upgrade to android 4.3 it will change your storage partition from sdcard0 to emulated/0 ... simply it will change its partition so all your old files will not be visible there but they are still in your memory... I suggest you find your old files and move them to new directory... There are many threads on how to find your old files.. Search

Download the sd formatting tool and use it on your pc to format your extremal sd card.
If you meant your internal storage the go read the sticky thread in general, about the changes 4.3 makes.
