I'm coming from HTC which was just wipe and flash and you're done, so try to spoon feed me a little cause I can't get this right.
I did a complete factory reset and started new. Then exploit, update, yada yada yada
I partitioned ROM-1 for 3 GB.
I wiped everything, factory reset, wiped everything again.
Flashed a ROM
restarted phone
Rom boots up, everything works good and phone is much snappier compared to stock and battery life is much stronger... but....
The phone doesn't seem to recognize the internal memory.
If I load up the camera, I get a message immediately "No Storage, No external storage available." on the bottom it says: Mount USB storage before using the camera.
If I try to download something from the internet the browser just closes, not a force close though.
In settings I see both my internal storage with 22 GB available and my external SD card with 15 GB available.
When I hook up the phone to my computer, all i see in the internal memory is: 2 folders: Safestrap and TWRP
Shouldn't I be seeing all the OS files, DCIM folders, misc android folders too? At least that's how it used to be... or is safestrap different?
So what should I do to have my camera working and all other features working? Is it a step I missed?
Thanks!

any other info required, please let me know.

For one, you might want to check which rom you're using since most available aren't 100% functional.
Second, if it's not the rom that's wrong just wipe your rom slot in safestrap and reinstall it to see if that's the issue.

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)
problem persists

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!

So I finally got the courage to flash a rom after dealing with an extremely sluggish Vibrant for over a year. I flashed the rom and everything was good, then I tried to get all my music on the phone. I couldn't get it on the external 16gb sd card so I figured I needed to format the card. I went into settings and It only gave me the option to format one of them, under SD card "format" wasn't even selectable. So I format the one I could and now notice a lot of missing folders. All that is left is albumthumbs, android, dcim, lost.dir, external_sd.
I'm not sure what I deleted but the phone still works fine.
What do you recommend I do? Should I odin back to stock and then load it again?
U should flash rom again

Flash ROM again OR attempt recovery using a recovery tool

You could also connect your phone into mass storage mode to the computer and attempt a recovery using one of the many available tools if you had important information on the internal SD.
Cheers,

Problem when I reboot my phone the internal SD is not available only the external micro-SD. I remove the micro-SD and then I can see my internal SD. I am beginning to think my Infuse is on it's last leg. Good thing I can upgrade on 1st January.
I have tried Wipe Cache Partition and Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache. No help. This is the second time, thought I had it fixed by returning to stock then back to CM10 4.2 all was well then I saw a post about the new camera that I didn't have yet so I flashed it. Now I am back to SD problem.
If anyone has an idea what is causing this, other than me. I would greatly appreciate it.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix or advise on new phone to get?
Thank you!

Also I noticed that the date time stamp on microSD says 31 Dec 69
The above is the same with it working or with it not so thats not the problem and it doesn't help to solve it.
I have found that as long as I don't have to restart my phone when it is working it will remain working. If I think I have a reason to reboot I must make sure I really want to do this.
As the work to get it straight involves remove micro-SD, wipe/format reinstall of ROM and GApps and then restore enough to edit build.prop for tweaking lockscreen powerdown install micro-SD then powerup to restore rest of the apps.
If anyone knows what might be causing this I would really appreciate it. Even if you could point me to the log file to look at that might give me a clue that would be very nice.

If it works with out microsd just don't use one. 14 gigs is plenty. Otherwise maybe format the microsd? Or try a full stock wipe and see if it all comes back.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
cpio I believe means copy in and out.
Since phone works without micro-sd and fails with it try a new micro sd or a different rom.
As for the date you mentioned, it is not unusual to find files with dates that are years in the past. Upgrade? If you are staying with AT&T pick 3-5 phones from their website that based on specs and price meet you needs and spend some hands on time with each. No one can make a better decision as to your next phone than you. Well, maybe bigjoe could...
USB Storage unmounts?

your post is the closest example to the SAME problem i am having so i will see if we are experiencing the same thing.
Im running Scott's 4.2.1 Unofficial CM10 - 12/02 build and ever since the 11/30 build, my internal ~14GB sdcard (called USB Storage when i look under system settings / storage) will not mount. the 2GB "internal" Storage and my 64GB External are always visible.
whats strange, is that when i reboot into recovery, i can still get all the data in this "sdcard" partition, it just will not mount when booted.
When i 1st boot from a new flash, its there, but after a reboot (and every reboot after that) it shows for a split-second, then disappears.
I come into this thread and seen it may have something to do with my External SD, i tried it removing the External SD, rebooted, and sure enough, it brought back my internal SD.
i shut down, re-inserted my External SD and powered up, and the USB Storage did NOT disappear but i cant leave well enough alone, so I rebooted 1 more time... POOF... USB Storage GONE....
How could the External SD have such an impact on the mounting of the Internal SD?
In Scott's thread he mentions that external (micro) sd should be removed before flashing the rom... don't know if that is the case, just sayin'.

I have flashed & reflashed with and without, no change. I have reformatted the External SD, no change.
I think i have isolated the issue to the physical presense if the External SD, but this is not an issue with the 11/4 build. I just go back to 4.1.2 till the next release
Downgrading back to 11/04 now
I am downgrading to see if that fixes it will let you know. Did it work for you?
Some one had a point. How is it not available? No media can be seen. Or is it non existent in root explorer. PR under system settings> storage.
If its the first it might be a .nomedia file in the root directory.

After downgrading back to 4.1.2 of CM10 my problem goes away. Another thing that I noticed is that the default APN's are now editable and I can delete them as well. While on 4.2 the only thing I could do was create a new one and set it to be the one in use. I guess part of the system is read only. Trying to save us from messing something up.

When first told to remove external micro sd prior to flash I did just that. Later I supposed that I had nothing to loose so I tried leaving it in. Didn't see anything go wrong so I thought it was just a cover my a$$ thing.

Well for me, not available means not mounted & unmounable, the sdcard directory can be seen, but it empty through root explorer.
the "other way in" through Storage/Sdcard0 shows the dame, nothing, REMOVE the external SD, the internal SD (called USB Storage in settings/storage) Mounts in reboot. .nomedia is not the issue as when the External SD is present, i can play media (from the External SD, but the camera and other apps that rely on the internal SD for storage, can not function.
When i reboot into recovery, i can see and access all the files (typically where the flashable files reside when i drag them over from my PC) both internal and external, and when i reboot, the MOMENT the unlock screen appears i dash over to settings/storage and the internal drive appears, but collapses in a less then a second. (as unmounted)

yes, returning to the 11/4 (4.1.2) ROM I do not experience this issue.
I tried scott.hart.bti 4.2.1 12/11
Went up to try 4.2.1 12/11 - No difference - The only thing I was able to do in this one was delete unused APN and edit save new one.
Wish I knew how to program and spot the differences in the code somewhere. I'd really like to stay on 4.2.1 but without my micro-SD it seems like a waste.
I have not had issues with 12/12, thought I'd share my process: wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (advanced), format system (mounts and storage), install ROM, wipe dalvik, install Scott's gapps, reboot. I also don't auto restore apps. There are still compatibility issues with some apps and 4.2
I was using my p6800 running Paranoid Android 3.54 to record audio and I filled up the internal memory. I used ES File explorer to cut the files from the internal SD Card and paste them to the external. They copied correctly, but then my device suddenly rebooted itself. During the "Samsung 7.7" flash screen, I can now hear a clicking sound for a few seconds. The phone rebooted, detected my SIM card, seemed to be working fine... then it rebooted again. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik. I've used CWM to flash a fresh version of PA. But I still get the same problem.
From google research, it seems that I have a corrupted eMMC, which I could probably just format, reinstall a rom, and solve the problem. But this all happened on vacation and I have some pictures I really want to save.
During the 10 or so seconds before the phone reboots, I can see that the files are still there. In previous versions of CWM there was an option for connecting via USB, but seems my current vesion doesn't have this option. If I use Odin to install a newer version (6.0.2.3) will it have this option? Will it wipe my files?
I just need to access those files from CWM or recovery mode and copy them over, but I can't find anyone with this specific problem or a good solution. Does anyone have any other suggestions or options?
Are you able to boot into recovery? I haven't used cwm to much but TWRP has a file explorer option and I'm sure you can copy and move files that way.

I just reread your OP and I went from stock to PA 3.56 and in the forum from Daniel as long as you flashed correctly and was up and running you should have avoided the emmc brick bug. you might have another issue

Hi guys, I installed the kitkat 4.4.2 update a few days ago to try it out (the international patched version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581548 I installed the file using CWM and also made a back up of my phone.
I then went back to my backup as kitkat was running terrible and I couldn't get in to setting menu plus all the lag.
When I did the restore everything seemed fine but I realise now that I am getting a lot of errors with the file system, I can't take pictures as it says "your internal storage is running out of space, delete some images or other files". If I try and view images on the phone it says "no external storage available" and the other place the error is obvious is when using chrome or any browser it will say "no sd card" and will not allow me to save any files.
I'm unsure whats happened. I'm also getting another error using PDANET the app will connect while the phone is running the OS but when in the bootscreen it simply says "HTC error- 1" which is supposed to be an issue with HTC phones.
If anyone knows anything or can help me get this back to normal please help as i'm completely lost.
Thanks

I had the same problem
I had the same problem in exactly the same circumstances, I tried various things and thought I had bricked my G as I had nothing except fastboot and that was a bit flakey
However, the files linked to on this page, http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/ seem to have brought back my phone and solved the SD problem

I had the same problem and I was freaking out as there was no clear solution on the internet.
Then I did some research, and found the cause to be the partitioning of the SD card. It happens either when you format your internal SD card using the recovery or when flashing ROMs that fail to partition SD properly. The solution is not to format the SD again as this didn't work for me but to fasboot the stock firmware which re partitions the SD card in the correct format.
Hopefully this helped! The links to the stock firmware can be found in the android development section.
