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.

Will try the next time i'm not lazy...
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 said format internal SD from your ROM settings.

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

Did you wipe data? Also if it doesn't work, sear h around for a zerofill.tar to flash, then flash a rom over it.

i already found it an read good stuff of it thanks for the help
use your sd card for more space
zerofill tar sounds to me like:
writing lots of "0" to the internal sd?
-> equal to a format of /system?
-> system is gone, mobile doesnt boot
-> all data lost?
Checked the features of kyorarom and what do I see...
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
Why dont you use that feature?
Ah... I see... you didnt create an ext4 partition?
Thsi partition is needed for the feature above!
how to:
Create an ext4 partition via CWM
using this feature will move all user apps to sd card
have a fast card on your side and make a backup of your sd card data
-> all data will be lost on sd card when you repartition your card!!!!!
I think u r facing 0.0kb internal memory bug... if so flash with data.rfs
If not, go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache... format sd ext.. mount data... and mount sd ext

i think i stay with kyrillos never had problems with it only when i installed kyrorarom i got the bug from 0.0kb internal memory bug
hmm when i put my sdcard in it and reboot my phone says 0.0kb internal memory when i reboot without sdcard i got 100mb free agian so i dont no what to do
put the sdcard in PC and check the card if its working
backup data
delete all partitions on sdcard
put card in mobile
boot into cwm
repartition the card
check the space
just a thought:
could it be, that the sdcard is only full?
or defective?

The sdcard works fine i can see all my stuff when i have it in my phone but i wil try that empty my sdcard and i will make backup from it to my pc i hope this works
oh... a second please...
I remember something right now...
In my very early days (ECLAIR flashing) I remember that someone had also space 0.0 MB
And afaik the solution was to flash the CSC file (?) or something like that again...
That was the reason in these days why I flashed all (!) firmware versions from
xxjg7 to xxjk1
well... in froyo days...
I know that this posting is not very helpful, but you might find something similar with these hints in the net...
Hope this helps forward
Flashing zero fill should solve to 0.0kb problem, it formats everything on your phone, then flash a rom over it. If doesn't work, backup your SD card and format your sd ext and your whole SD card.

I flashed the MHX Superlite 4.5 yesterday. Media scanner "starts" whenever I open gallery or music or any app that accesses media. Songs/pictures on my external SD card would not be recognized by either stock music player,play music,gallery
I flashed MHX Superlite 5.0 today. The problem persists. I searched the thread and found that someone suggested to run "SUPERIPE" then reflash.........I'm assuming they meant Superwipe. I ran Superwipe TWICE, re flashed and still no change.
Fortunately there is no stick when restarting or shutting down, but I could live with that.............Need my music
Thanks
Update: I have tried a new ROM AND a new sd card and the problem persists!
how big is your media stick? brand?

sounds like you might have filesystem problems with the sd card? i suggest you copy all your stuff off it using the mount usb storage option in cwm (mounts and storage > usb), and then format /sdcard under cwm, or remove the card, format it under a windows computer, and reinsert it.
formatted the sd card (while connected to my PC and using the default FAT32 setting)

I've had pretty good luck doing the following to fix strange errors:
Wipe data
Format system twice
Format data twice
Format cache twice
Run superwipe
Flash rom
Wipe cache and dalvik before first boot (this requires holding the volume buttons on the superlite 5 install at the appropriate time)
I'm sure this method is at least 50% superstition on my part, but it works for me every time.
I just want to state for anyone who ever reads this
I finally got the media scanner to work
Method
flashed through Odin original skyrocket leak
Flashed cwm
Ran super wipe
Flash ROM

I had the same problem, with a different ROM. I think there was something corrupt or messed up on the internal sd card, cuz after I moved everything to the computer, it worked fine. The one click worked because it wipes the emmc. I went straight from GB to a ICS rom, that's why I had a problem.

I woke up and found that somehow my wall paper had reset itself, and the media scanner was not working again. Thanks to what you said, I knew to format the Emmc and media scanner works again.
I did remove everything from the SD card to my PC and format the card a few days earlier but that didn't solve the problem.
It seems you understand what's going on. Could you explain a little more. I rather understand than just know to format emmc
Thanks
To be quite honest, I'm not 100% sure what causes media scanner to lock up. From what I read elsewhere on the internet, it could be a corrupt file, or maybe its just that ICS's media scanner handles files differently than GB's media scanner. I'm leaning more toward the latter, as GB media scanner never had a problem when running a GB ROM, and there is some reason as to why the one click ICS was designed to wipe the emmc (internal sd card).
Hope that helps clear any confusion!

I have an Optimus 3D from Rogers (the P925g) and I wasn't able to use many roms because I didn't have the 21e baseband. I tried flashing it, after I flashed one for the P250 (which apparently would work on mine), the phone had decided that the internal memory doesn't exist now. I can mount the SD card, but both the usable memory and the space reserved for apps is missing. The phone still boots and I can access a few select apps, but I am really at a loss for how to fix this.
Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!

You just have many data in your device. it is like to install win95, win2000 winXP and win7 in one folder on your computer
Open CWM -> go to mounts and storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
DO NOT REBOOOT !!!
Install the ROM you want from ZIP file.

That's just it- I can't even access CWM anymore. I can't install ROM Manager to flash CWM because I don't have any app memory, and I can't even flash it using my computer because, again, the phone thinks there is no memory to store apps in.
Would screenshots help in this situation?
Well. Apparently, after reflashing the same thing maybe 7 different times, it has decided to work. So, thanks for anyone who looked into this. Sorry about all this too. -.-
Have had orthus ROM on my phone sense ver 1. Had 7 on there recently no issues, finally ver 8 comes out and now I have internal storage USB mount issues. Its not showing up. Its not were the system files go , but were the programs go. The system storage and SD card show up in the settings/storage and I have no idea how to fix the issue.

im saying the internal memory were all the program files, not the system files go... the internal 8gb mount is missing... like it doesnt even show up. i tried to install some programs but cant because its saying theres no SD card installed.. I've formatted 3 times, tired reinstalling the rom 4 times, fixed permissions 4 times, and did factory reset 3 times. did the clean dalvix (spelling) 5 times with no success. i dont know what to do. even tried going back to orthus 7 with no help. even contacted mindmajick and he didnt know.
If I understand, what normally shows up as sdcard on your internal isn't there anymore. Idk either. You could try a different rom or you might have to odin back to stock and start over.

On the skyrocket, you have internal memory (were the system files goes) then you have a internal SD memory, then you have external SD memory, my internal SD is missing.

Flash back to stock and see if it picks it up. If not it's very possible that your memory failed. Warranty with Samsung would be your only option if that's the case.

so flash all the way back to stock and not be rooted?
Yes. If it picks it up from there build back up. If it doesn't your internal is hosed.
Figured it out. When I reboot, I have to take my SD card out let the ROM load then insert it back in. With the card in, the phone wasn't registering the internal SD memory.

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 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!!!
