I have an issue where when Im in e3 or clockwork recovery where when I am trying to do a data wipe and clean flash. I get an error at the end- "error restoring /data!" after It goes through and verbosely lists all the caches and files its restoring. When I actually get into the recovered rom, I have a bunch of most of the old apps listed as on the SD card 0.00B, I can't move them to phone, or erase the data as there is nothing there, I have to uninstall them each time. Sometimes I get a ton of force closes when I reboot the phone. I fix permissions in CWM at least ten minutes after a flash to let the phone cache.
I wasn't getting this problem until I tried to flash Alien 5.5 with a corrupted file in the zip which aborted the flash. Does anyone know why this has affected all of my backups? I can't get a good recovery because of the /data issue.
On another topic, Does anyone with alien 5.5 have a non-working home button as well as no market app? I wanted to post or pm romracer about the homebutton issue because I cannot find a fix for it anywhere.
You have corrupted ur internal sd card that's y this thing happens!!!!!! You need to do is follow this steps here!!!!!! IF you already tried that than go back to stock and start over!!!!!!

I recently downgraded to gingerbread , everything went well thanks to xbsall's new rebooter tool.
I booted and when i came to the home screen i came across an error which said "Damaged Phone Memory".
I first ignored it and went on but when i installed ez file explorer , it says no sd card mounted or nonexistent.
I can't seem to download anything (No sd card error again) except apps which install at system's partition.
Anyone have this error ?
Edit : When i return to ICS it all goes away.
I also realized my old stuff is still around. (That's odd because i thought due to the change in size in partitions it formatted the sdcard. It's actually more odd because i manually formatted it.)
I wiped data/factory reset.
Wiped dalvik cache wiped everything.
Formatted Sdcard. (Apparently it doesn't recognize my sdcard so this format may not count...)
No luck so far.
Pretty sure you just need to reformat/erase the sd card from the menu.

When you downgrade from xbsall's ICS port with v21e it will always show damaged phone memory. All you have to do is flash your countries stock ROM. There is a thread somewhere for the download links. Just look for them then unzip the .bin and .fls files then flash them as you did to up/down grade.

Thanks for the help guys.
Will ask xbsall to include this in his repair guide.

Format sdcard from ROM settings
Factory reset in the main menu if it's the internal storage. It's normally due to the fact that the SD and/or other storage areas are formatted as EXT4, something GB can't handle seemingly.
InternalSDcard partition allocates different memmory blocks in my Ported SU760 ICS than those of original P920 Gingerbread thats why you need to reformat when you get back to Gingerbread.
Both in ICS and GB it is in FAT format.
Is factory reset from clockwork any different from the original ? If no i did a factory reset at clockwork but it didn't work...

I asked it in accordance to what Devion said.
Sorry forgot to quote...
Can't I recover files if i not update back to ICS? no other way? I need this files...
I had this exact same issue, and when pressed app menu, i only had the 3D apps, (couldnt even go to settings),
What i did was; on main screen pressed left capacitive button to get to settings and did a factory reset.
just downgraded and had 0 internal memory but after factory reset I now have 0.89 gb internal memory (not internal sd) is it supposed to be this only? I had the impression it was around 2 gigs?
btw I got stock v21E nothing uninstalled

Nothing is damaged just format the memory from the menu and it will be fine (might need a rebooting as well, can't remember)

had already formatted and done a factory reset. Now my question is apart from internal sd which gives me about 5.5 gig i get a mere 0.89 gig of internal ram. Is it supposed to be that only or more? Again I had the impression that it was supposed to be around 2 gig internal memory (i.e reserved for app installation). Stock v21E nothing installed and nothing removed.

what you got is right.
I had the same issue of "damaged internal memory". Factory reset helped.
Its only 1GB internal.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped.

DID you succeed, cuz i've the same pb but my phone is a P925 not the P920
And all the advises here don't work for me
In fact GB V21e bootloader and rebooter in xbsall doesn't succeed in booting my phone after downgrade so I went back to ICS bootloader wich boot but end up with this memory problem. No formating/factory reset from romor even from recovery work for me. Perharp your v21e is not suitable for LG P925 ??!!
Any suggestions
I'm having trouble getting feedback, and Google is of little help. I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem but I can't find anyone else with the answer so I'm hoping one of you has a link to my answer.
Anyways I got a GoTab 6Inch running 4.0.4
It came stock with a main partition of 400MB and an SD partition of 2.3GB.
Out of both of these partitions, the 400MB one was protected in and the 2.3GB on could be "erased" by going into the settings and then storage. So I decide to "Factory Reset" and check the "Erase SD card" box.
Well with no warning from the tablet's home page or included instruction booklets, they say nothing about what was on this "free to erase" open partition. Apparantly it had some way-important files as I now can't get into recovery menu. The 400MB partition went down to 0.00MB but somehow has 39MB reserved for apps. And the 2.3GB is empty as 2.3GB. As well as no recovery menu, you also can't format to factory settings now.
Since the main partition is 0.00MB, you can't install or update apps. Also settings can't be saved, so every app is booting up as if its the 1st time every time.
If I learned anything from my Android 1.5 guides I used to read about 4 years ago, I think I need to somehow manually root, flash a new recovery, make a partition or two, and flash a whole new kernal/OS. Can anyone help with this? Getting a new recovery and partitions working properly is of the utmost imprtance because now if something goes wrong, I cant go into recovery to unbrick a device.
hello?
I wanted to go the data2sd route and tried installing by formatting the 64mb class 10 microsd with minitool partition. After installing everything , the tablet stuck at "encryption error" only option was to reset. It did that everytime i started it. So i did a factory reset, format system and it threw a error saying cannot format sdcard android secure. So i then reinstalled cleanrom using the unters rom at the bottom selection and deleted cache then dalvick took sd card out and rebooted. Finally no encyption error.
Looked in es file explorer cleanrom installed to the /data, ilooked in sdcard/ and there is a file that data2sd installed called !microSD and i cannot delete it. I opened /sdcard in root explorer and the !microSD isnt there, i tried "show hidden files" in settings but it still wont show. I booted clockworkmodand chose installfrom internal sd and the !microSD shows. I click on it and it just opens another !microSD, i can keep clicking it and at the top if the screen it will look like this /!microSD/!microSd/!microSD/ and on and on. I want to delete it or format the internal sd but i am scared to format it, i have heard horror stories of bricking when choosing format emmc or format sdcard. I have tried format system to startfresh but it will format system,then data but it will say cannot format android secure skipping format. I dont mind wiping /sdcard since i backed up a few pics and movies.
I did format the 64gb with gparted. I want to try data2sd again but imicrosd file needs to be removed most likely. I tried to rename it too but es file explorer wont let me.

Nevermind, i decided to bite the bullet and install cleanrom 3.0.3 and followed directions for data2sd. It installed without encryption error and the imicrosd file was gone. But from what i have eread about data2sd it didnt install correctly because the file system should have showed sdcardi which it didnt. I tried downloading a torrent movie and the tablet became unuseable,freezing. Also moving files from the ext4 to fat32 were sloooow. I decided to flash a kernal from the t700t forum on the data2sd subject. That resulted in the encryption scenario. So i factory wiped in clockwork and installed the newest cleanrom 3.3 and the 3.2 chromidata2sd file then the mount2sd file and then the kernal pack and used the 10.4.20 tf300 kernal. Rebooted fine. The tablet is real fast but i havent tried a torrent download. I also had two weird half reboots with each one when i tried deleting a file in file manager and then in es file. I do have a folder called internal sdcard which has the usual files on it. Didnt have that with the old 3.03. I did but it was empty.
Anyone know why it reboots when deleting a file? I did disable fsync though.
Don't use minitool to partition the card. It corrupts and causes reboots, etc. Even though the d2sd thread recommended it, don't.
Use gparted instead and all will be well.

I figured that out after the first encryption Error. I then spent all for one day trying to figure out how to partition the card in gparted. I should have deleted both partitions and then format them, instead I moved them in gparted and that took 4 hours. Then i found a write up on exactly what to do.

Well i just went through 4 hours of being terrified that I bricked my tablet. I kept getting reboots, i installed androbench and when i clicked on the benchmark button the tablet rebooted. Tried to run the benchmark again and rebooted again. I then tried to uninstall it which rebooted the tablet again. I went to clockwork recovery and wiped /factory reset i then proceded to reinstall cleanrom 3.3 with stock kernal,then format cache, installed chromi.3.2data2sd,wiped cache,started the kernal installer and chose unters 10.4.4.20 ,wiped cache,flashed mountdata2sd.zip, factory reset. I restarted to a bootloop. I then wiped and factoryreset again and installed cleanrom again this time choosing no kernal and wentthrough the steps and had a bootloop again. I started worrying and did another factory reset but installed stock kernal and didnt install data2sd, rebooted to a the asus screen with blue loading bar, that screenflashed black and then stuck on asus screen.
I then freaked outa bit because i dont save backups. I then did a horrible thing, i formatted emmc. I had read a few posts about installing a fresh rom for thepurpous of selling. A few posts mentioned that it was safe to format emmc but to be careful since it might format an external card too. I rremoved the sd card beforehand. I then did a factory reset in clockwork and proceded to install cleanrom . Install went fine and i clicked on reboot system. BOOTLOOP! I was really freaking out now. So i looked up format emmc some more and the horror stories started appear. I downloaded peri one click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+softbricks. I had android phones listed in system properties but no adb. While searching for a work around i came across how to reinstall stock firmware over a rom. I downloaded the tf300t firmwware 2013.01.18 up date unzipped it and threw it ona microsd. In clockworkmod i chose install zip from sdcard and boom fixed!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooo happy. So i now have a locked tf300t unrooted factory fresh. But there is one problem, in file manager on /sdcard/ there is that file that mountdata2sd.zip installed called !microSD that shows 0.0bytes and i cannot delete it. It doesnt show up in windows 7 though. I have show hidden files checked too. My plan is to reinstall clockworkmod and try data2sd one more time but i want to delete that !microsd file first. I need to make a few more posts until i can ask in developer forum.

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (SGH-I727R, but the same as the SGH-I727) and was wondering how a guy would go about re-partitioning the internal storage on the phone.
The phone has 16gb of internal memory. This has been partitioned, from what I can see, into 2gb and 12gb. The 2gb 'system' partition where your OS and apps, etc are installed and the 12gb storage partition for things like photos, music, movies, etc.
I don't store anything on my phone, mostly just photos. So i have approximately 9gb of the 12gb of the 'storage' partition available. However, the 'system' partition is pretty much maxed out. I'm running Vincom's Superlite CM10.2 rom with minimal apps installed, but it says that i only have around 160mb available and I've begun to received the 'low storage space' error/notification.
I understand that I can use Odin to re-partition the device but that I require .pit files in order to do so. Furthermore, the stock .pit files wouldn't change the size of the partitions. Ideally I'd like to increase the size of my 'system' partition and reduce the size of my 'storage' partition.
Can anyone out there help me? Please let me know if you need more info from my device.
That's not gonna happen

how come?
messing around with the partitions will most likely hardbrick the device so no one would ever try doing it, the only way your system partition is filling up is if you are manually installing apps into that partition or the partition is messed up, odin back to stock, then wipe everything including preload then do a fresh install of a custom rom
Will do, I'll update later with results. It's weird though, i haven't manually changed the default installation locations for apps, they just automatically install there. I'll wipe and format everything, odin back to stock, flash the latest version of TWRP and then flash SL CM10.2 and let you know.
Thanks for the help Vincom.
PS - Great roms, thank you for the contributions to the community!
Odin'd back to stock, wiped everything (cache, dalvik, system, data, android secure), formatted USB storage, Odin'd TWRP 2.6.3.0 - everything went fine in that respect.
Booted into recovery, went to flash SL CM10.2 (i dropped these in 'external_sd' after formatting usb storage) and got the following error during the 'making sure you really do have the skyrocket and jb radio' sequence:
'assert failed: run_program (" /tmp/test_radio_vers
E:error executing updated binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/external_sd/CM-10.2_
Updating partition deatils...'
Seeing as how I'm attempting to flash from stock rom (which was a GB rom) does it matter that the test sequence is looking for a JB radio?
Thoughts?
also noticed that it won't let me wipe 'data' in TWRP... says failed, with the error 'unable to wipe /data'
rebooted into recovery and now it will let me wipe 'data'....wtf is going on with my phone?
you need todo more reading as u need jb radio or else it will not install cm10.2+ and post an error and sometimes after the error twrp should be rebooted to properly unmount/mount partitions, i think the phone is fine, but the user is another matter..........
i guess i didn't really flash a custom rom until after i upgraded to the Rogers release of JB...? Can't remember... anyhoo, could I simply flash your SL Rogers JB 4.1.2 to obtain the JB radio and then flash SL CM10.2?
Or is there a flashable zip for the radios? I could have sword I saw those some place, but i can't find them now...

|Read This b4 posting | THE MOST Common Questions Answered HERE | its a sticky right above ur post
thanks for acknowledging/tolerating my stupidity/ignorance, both the 'read this before you post' and '1 stop' threads were helpful.
i did have one more perhaps stupid question that wasn't answer in either of those threads (or at least that I could find), I got SL CM10.2 up and running...bare bones. When checking storage in the settings app, it told me that my total space was 1.97gb and that i had 1.92gb free.... cool. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed gapps lite (12mb) and email/exchange. Rebooted my phone, checked my storage and now i have 432mb free...? This is exactly where i started... i have no apps other than what came with SL CM10.2, gapps lite and email/exchange and only have 432mb available.... any ideas as to what's going on here?
comparatively, i checked my 'apps' in settings, the 'downloaded' tab has nothing, the 'on sd card' tab has nothing, and the 'all' tab indicates that i've used 1.5gb of my internal storage, but when i tally up all the apps in the 'all' tab it totals approximately 40mb... I'm really stuck and it's really starting to frustrate me....
You're frustrating everyone. Do some reading bro.

Sounds like you may have been installing the ROM incorrectly. Also one of the first steps of troubleshooting odd issues is a factory reset (Which MUST be done when installing roms of different types) Coming from TW and going to CM like you did requires FULL wipe!!

A response like that is not going to help you get too much help around here. @xcrazydx is correct. It sounds like you need to do some more ready.. especially if you are thinking of messing with partitions.

i did factory wipe before and after flashing each of the roms. As i stated above, the storage glitch occurred after installing gapps and email/exchange... i only wiped cache/dalvik after installing those two. I suppose i should have factory wiped to be safe...
The reason i came asking about repartitioning and .pit files was because i had already searched and found a dev that had created custom partition tables (pit files) but they were for a different phone. I just wondered if anyone in this forum had seen and/or created them.
If not, that's cool, but i figured I'd ask. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask!
