After that i notice there is no more storage folder!. I tried to flash bigstorage again and hope it will get the 7.xxmb storage back. But the storage folder still not appear when back to the ori ROM. please help me how to get the storage folder back. thanks.

hi i have an Xda II mini, well i am trying to upgrade to the new 27mb extra storage rom.. i managed to do it once, but just to check the possiblity of restoring the original extracted rom of mine i again did a reflashing and resotred my original o2 rom successfully. now i want to revert back to the 27mb extra storage but when i get into the bootloader it it does not give me the press power to flash option also it keeps formatting my SD card back to the FAT file system from the RAW format with the big storage rom on it. i have tried changing computers and writing the file with ntrw.exe version 2.0 but still no luck. please help as i want to upgrade to the extra 27mb storage deleting my extd rom. plz help.
when you pop the SD back into the phone, you need to ensure its in bootloader mode displaying serial on the screen, that way you will get the card being formatted, and you must also have the usb connected, then and only then you will see the press power to flash option.
hope that helps

Hi there, I just tried to have a big storage upgrade for my XDAIIMini two weeks ago, and it worked!
Afterwards I've changed the ROM to CHT version of O2 Asia XDAIIMini with big storage, and it also worked!
Now, I want to change it back to the original ROM with big storage, then a strange problem appear:
I've edited the ROM correctly, and let the Magician download the ROM from SD. After 100% downloading, it showed
"Downloading failed. Check sum failed"
Then I tried to restore the original ROM without big storage, and it could download the whole ROM.
Now I can just restore the original ROM but not upgrade to Big storage.
Does anyone know what happened?
Any ideas? Thanks.
Billy.
when u restore from BS->Normal u will have
Lost /storage.
Resolution:
Back to BS, fill ur bigstorage /storage with 8-10MB (over 7MB) of data.
Then flash to ShipRom. your /storage will be back
Hi billy198,
The message "Downloading failed. Check sum failed" is very usual after a sd-flash. Just reset & see what happens, most of the time it boots normally. If you don't trust it get a shipped-rom to restore to defaults. & fill your storage over 7MB apparently that works. Wish I knew that 3 months ago, when I had that problem.
Regards, M
Guys im tired of using the sdcard to install android to my polaris as i always erase the andboot folder after everything so as to save space. I know you'd say "what space its a small file" yes but i just wanna know how to flash it comfortably to my NAND thru my PC USB connection like flashing roms with the upgrade utility. Thanks!!!
you are ridiculs but:
download customRUU.exe
copy the nbh file in the customRUU.exe dir
all the other files can't be flashed directly (the androidinstall.tgz must be in andboot folder)
lol thanks master l1q1d for the super response. actually i was dying to flash the android on my polaris immediately after my SD card broke. I had to install it thru usb since i have no sdcard. lll try that now.
i was actually looking for a way to copy the andboot folder to the phone memory after NBH flash, but im not sure that the phone memory has less memory to contain the boot files and the installation thereafter. I lost my sdcard and would wanna make the automation work without it. could this be possible? Thanks again.
No, you can't do it.
That does it. IT wont be. thanks
OK...I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S4, and keep getting "Storage Space Running Out" message !
The thing though is, that I should have tons of internal storage left. I have flashed 3 different ROMs, and after a few days I get the message again. I can erase some apps to free up space, and half a day later same problem. I can't even get my apps on the phone, due to space issues and I also can't put them on the external SD (not with a specific APP to do it for me, nor can I move them manually, because the button is simply not there in the Storage or APPs SETTINGS menu).
Every time I flash a new ROM I clear data, dalvic....full factory reset....but end up with the same result!
Could someone please help out with a fix or solution with this very annoying problem.
P.S.: ....yes, I have searched tons on this forum and others, but nothing has worked for me yet!
....ANYONE ????
Hello
Looking at images you included it looks like apps & data takes only 1 GB space . There must be some junk in internal storage (may be old .asec files , thumbnails etc). Attach the screenshot of sd storage also . I should see where the data is stored in your current rom .

I flashed old Nandroid of SACS ROM 4.3....so it would be a stock rom screenshot now, and all you would see is that there is 18Gig memory left on the SD card!!!
I had to reflash Nandroid because I traveled and I wasn't getting a signal on my previous rom! I do now...but the problem remains, or actually is worse, but at least my phone works to make calls (no txt or email, because storage space is too low).
In either case, the SD storage has plenty of room, but I don't think that this was ever an issue!....I think it is the phone itself, but maybe there is a fix and I would prefer that over taking it in for many reasons!
Thanks for getting back to me though, let me know.....
Hi
Copy all required data from internal storage to sd card and format internal storage from custom recovery (CWM/mount/format emmc or TWRP/wipe/advanced/emmc) and reboot.
Hope it works !

I will try that tomorrow and will let you know....thx again!
i want you to try stock rom for few days and check
OK...!
I wiped everything again and did factory reset...
copied everything from internal storage to a computer...
formatted data and system (twice)
wiped again, formatted data and system again....
flashed a sprint stock rom
same problem.... I have 860MB of 16GB unused space available!!!!
when I check though, my system data (bare essentials of what is left) is only 348MB....there is 647MB used for apps....the rest is clean!!!
I am still not sure where all the storage went! Could my internal storage be corrupt or broke???
Thanks for the ideas, I will try anything!!!

Try flashing your stock rom again.
I told to format internal storage (emmc) and not data and system partitions. Try that

I was using the resurrection remix rom, and needed to do an update, so I did what it said and downloaded the files I needed, saved them to my micro SD card in a folder I created and named "root". I did the wipe and erased everything following the instructions on that page, and now I'm trying to install the files so I can flash them and that root folder is not showing up! Nothing is showing up in my sd directory. I have two directories; one says sdcard, and the other is named external_SD. Inside the external_SD folder is a LOST.DIR file that's completely empty. Inside the sdcard folder is a TWRP file which is also empty and I'm freaking out now because I don't know how to get to my SD card. Everything is saved to my sd card and I have no access to the files I need and my phone is wiped now and doesn't have a rom installed and I have no idea or way to get a rom installed now. I don't know what to do and I'm panicking. If anyone knows what to do in this situation I will be eternally grateful.
I was able to get into download mode and use Odin to install factory firmware. This issue has been fixed.
