When I check out my available storage, it shows nothing for USB internal storage. It only shows the "Device Memory" of 1.97gb as the total space. If I put in an external SD card, it does show that. I know that it will not show my full 16gb, but there should be an un-mounted partition of approximately 10gb free.
I think it may have happened as I tried installing a couple of roms. I installed the CM10 JB and a stock rooted 4.04 one. I just got the device and it came with 4.03 on it. I have tried reinstalling different stock ones and they all show no internal usb storage anymore. How can I tell if there is an unused partition on the device? I have ADB/Shell access, but not sure what commands to use. When I go to CWM and mount the "USB Storage" it doesn’t mount it.
I have tried to fix permissions, reset everything and installed the stock rom from odin and CWM. I also tried CWM 6. I appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks.
I had the same problem I solved it by using .PIT file with stock ROM
and repartitioning when using odin
I am attaching the file please use it at your own risk
I am not a devoloper

I just tried that and i'm still having the same problems. This is what I did. I put the file you gave me in the .pit box and put the Russian Stock 4.04 in the PDA box. I made sure the Re-Partition box was checked. Do I need CWM installed before I do this? What stock file did you use? I appreciate it.
I just tried it again with Odin 1.87 and it worked!!! It now saws I have 12gb free. Is that normal? I assume therest is reserved for other things.
Thank you so much!!!
One more question. Should I have a seperate partition for USB storage as I thought I did before? It use to say 1.97gb of device memory and 10gb of USB storage.
where did you download odin 1.87 the latest version i know is 1.85?

Actually, 12GB free is normal. the other 4 GB is reserved for system(software/apps)
Whats with this idea that the pit file is a silver bullet for everything?

I somehow manages to mess up my internal storage partition. I tried to redo everything through odin, but even .PIT file doesn't seem to fix. Anyone have any idea how to fix, i'm at a loss. My phone is working thanks to UVKF1-one click but i have no access to internal storage and can't root my phone.

Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 in PHONE
Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked & flash.
No luck, did all the above. Worked great but still no internal storage. Still won't root. Oneclick just crashes. (probable because directory structure is F'ed)
One click won't work on gingerbread.

Yeah, SuperOneClick doesn't work on GB. There's a thread out there on how to root a GB ROM or you can just install one of drhonk's kernels that's rooted, has cwm, & voodoo. Grab the one for KG4 (as that's what you just flashed) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
Use ODIN, put the file in the PDA section and flash.
Odin this. It might solve the problem. It'll revert you back to Froyo, but that's no big deal. Getting to GB is easy now.

I already tried that I was on CM9 and downgraded to the original ROM 4.0.3
after that I noticed the internal space only 1.9 GB
I think the only way to recover the space is pit file I tried to search but P5100 does not same to have .pit file
please some one help me my tab is new
CM9 and Stock ROM have different mount points. You should have formatted system before flashing.
You can do 2 things
Ask someone on stock ROM to share their vold.fstab (/system/etc) and build.prop files. Replace them, set correct permissions and reboot.
Or
A long shot - reflash CM9
Check storage if it is now shown correctly.
Now, in CWM format system, data, cache, dalvik cache and Battery status.
Flash stock ROM.
I reinstalled the stock rom and used pit file signed_espresso_20120220_16G
it is for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
it went ok with odin
however the spaced claimed is 12 GP
I need apit file for tab 2 p5100
I search every where it is just not there
do you think

I think it is the normal space give to user when the device is new as the remaining space is taken by system, system apps, rom, kernel and format table data do not expect pure 16 g

Oops! I have just done what was not supposed to be done!

U can go to: SamMobile Firmware and search U device, after that, in the "Additional files" U can see the "Flashprograms". Download it. In the folder have file PIT for 8GB and 16GB.

Hi,
this is the whole situation guys,,
the tab is 7.7 3G model (P6800) running 3.2
I used odin so I can flash offical ICS using firmware from sammobile and the pit file they provided ,,but Odin always crash at the end and I turn off the device by force.
after a while I flashed CWM recovery using odin and it worked so I used external sd card and flashed this ROM with CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520888
and the device booted ok but the internal memory say total space 441MB when it is actually 16GB !!
did I broke my device ? please help guys I beg you.
Did you tick Repartition in ODIN when flashing the ROM ?
If you did that might be why.
However here are 3 ways of how to repair this :
1) Find a PIT file for your specific model (in your case you need a PIT for P6800 16gb)
and flash it with ODIN with repartition ticked (put the PIT file in the PIT slot, obviously)
I can only provide a PIT for P6810 16gb model, but google might help you find one for P6800 16gb.
2) Repartition /data (mmcblk0p9 for P6810/mmcblk0p10 for P6800) manually through adb using parted and e2fsck.
(I can give you further instruction about this if the PIT file didn't work, however it is likely you won't get ALL of the internal storage capacity back with this method, although you can manage to earn a few gigs)
3) Send it to Samsung so they repair it for you (if your warranty can make them repair it for free, this is the solution you want to pick)
This reduction of internal storage is typically what you get after fixing the SuperBrick bug (MMC_CAP_ERASE) that our tab suffer from.
But apparently you didn't have brick as you can boot your tab and odin didn't get stuck on Factoryfs.img
Hope it helps, do not hesitate to ask for further help.
I can't and won't be held responsible for any harm made to your tab or whatever

At first i want to root my galaxy tab plus but ,after applying the update.zip the cyanogen bootscreen stuck and rotating and never boot into OS
Then I've tried to flash it with odin but it won;t boot too.
then i broought it to Samsung Service Center,and they said that the Internal memory and mainboard is crashed.
Is there any help??
If i can change internal sd card will it fix the problem that happen when i tried to make a new partition on my internal sd card for swap ??
i believe the sd card inside is a chip is soldered (or glued) to the board. if you want to go this route, you need to find a tablet with cracked/broken screen and swap the guts.

As the previous user said, it's impossible to swap the internal SD card.
If you messed up with partitions, the software-only solution is to flash a stock ROM with ODIN including your specific model .PIT file.
BE CAREFUL to use the right one for your model, there is an instruction thread on how to do it.

Well, as long as you used the correct ODIN (mine is 3v1.87 and I know it works) and the correct PIT and ROM files, this is the standard procedure for repairing any software-related problem.
Give the age of the model, seeking a service center for a hardware repair is not advisable.

No, sd-ext is the external (removable) SD card, it has nothing to to with your problem.
Furthermore, the ODIN + PIT method that I suggested should have removed TWRP and reinstalled the Samsung Recovery!.
Probably you're not doing the ODIN restore correctly
Follow this guide, step E, but ensuring that you are using the specific files for your model

Check that the md5 matches that provided by the download page. It seems most likely that you just have a bad download.
