I downloaded roehsoft ram expander from the play store and started to use, but I don't know what I did, but I have messed up my phone I selected swap dir/partition and selected !partition! Mmcblkop26-1.15gb, after I had selected and pressed ok my phone restarted and went to boot animation which was really laggy and it restarted again came up with HTC screen then boot animation when my phone finally had loaded it had factory reset it self, I set it all back up and I found that my internal memory was really low it was total space 128mb which is incorrect I went into my file manager and I have access to my SD card three ways mnt/sdcard, storage/primary/legacy, storage/sdcard0. The file manager now by default goes to storage/primary/legacy which it should go to mnt/sdcard.
I am really confused at what to do I tried reinstalling the Rom and that did not work I think I may have swapped the partitions or something but my sdcard is not partitioned. Every time I reboot my phone it has factory reset itself so it can't hold on to data if you reboot.
Please help I hope you understand all of this and it's a quick fix.
I have also found out that recovery does not recognize data as a partition it just displays
System
Cache
Sdcard
Recovery says E: unknown volume "/data"
Please someone help I have tried looking around but what keywords do you put in google. Recovery doesn't know volume so it says it's formatted but it's not I am so confused.

Yesterday i tried to flash my I9003 with Odin but I messsed up and it showed the black screen of death...now it's fixed. But I have a new problem:
after I put on the phone it starts normally and get to the menu but after 10 min it blocks and then goes into bootloop mode. I tried to go into recovery mode to reset the phone and format the internal SD but it tells me that reset is OK and that it's impossible to format the internal memory (use ui menu ...).
Even with the settings menu it's impossible to format the memory ( it tells that it's OK but the memory is not empty ).
I flashed the phone again but the wallpaper is the same none of the applications was deleted.
how can I fix this please ??
I saw a way to switch internal and external memory but it needs froyo 2.2.1 , Can I do this ??
I need your help please !!!!!!!!!!!

Just flash a new firmware of your choice.
Xxkpq is most favoured.
i have a odd issue.
Last night the MIUI 1.10.7 ROM froze up with trinity kernal. After the reboot trinity kernal on boot screen kept freezing.
I did a full whipe re-installed MIUI 1.10.7 flashed nertchy and i was good to go.. once booted up as apps where getting restored from the market random crashed started and now everything force closes.
that is not the issue.. the issue is that i want to do a full whipe again.. how ever i can not do anything with sdcard. i have tried every possible format method and coping files to sdcard...
all it ends up is restoring the files and the file that i have copied to sdcard is gone wth :S
i can boot the system back to what it was even when i re-flash it over again still same system there trying to download files and crashing..
i have reached the end i dont know what it possible could have changed :S
help?
You could try and lock the bootloader and unlock it again. That might reset everything and get it working for you again. I had a problem with the SD card and I wasn't able to mount it in CWM to access any files so I locked and then unlocked the bootloader and everything has been working great again
no go.
earlier i tried pushing some files to sdcard using adb successfully. this only lasted until the phone was rebooted out of recovery and files where back to w/e they where before.
i pushed an filed called update.zip tried flashing.. as if i never tried.
what it seems to me like is that the whole system is preventing updates/changes to the system :S :S
no matter what i try to do to reinstall or format it goes back into its old form with exact same files and exact same problems..
basically unable to flash and delete :S:S
have you went to storage in setting menu and hit erase then erase everything?
yes,
i have tried all of the following:
- factory reset from settings
- unmounted sdcard and formatting from settings
- delete files using file explorer (deleted them but comes back on reboot)
- uninstalling application (error occurs)
- moving application to sdcard from internal storage (not enough space error occurs)
- doing factory reset using cwm
- doing individual deletes using cwm
- creating backup using cwm (error occurs, cant get chm5)
- locking/unlocking bootloader
- mounting sdcard to pc and deleting files (same thing files delete until reboot then restore)
- adb remount (remounts nothing happens)
- adb push file, i can push a file and its only there until phone reboots
- installing pushed file update.zip (miui 2.1.x) installs but still goes back to corrupted miui 1.10.7..
i don't remember what else i have tried. every time file deletes it comes back after reboot. as well as the system.
i can flash a new recovery mod and it will stick but nothing in terms of deleting files or installing new system files.
new development.. i have tried installing update.zip from fastboot menu
and this is what happens:
sending 'system' ... Okay
writing 'system' ....failed (remote: write fail)
it almost seems as if i lost all write access.. is there a way to fix this?
(fix permissions does not fix this problem)
cheers,
as the Nexus s has no actual physical SD card but it purely refers to the storage partition, I am guessing you have some how corrupted the partitions settings and possibly damaged the memory as well, i have also seen from other threads where this issue is nearly identical that the PCB board being changed fixed the problem.
sorry to say either way your Nexus S may need to go under the knife,
hmm, this was the last day i played with it...
i'll have a look tomorrow for a bussins that will take it and try to fix it
cheers, for all those who tried to help.
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?
Right so I'm in a little bit of a pickle here.
I'll start from the top, a while back my friend game me his Thrill 4G p925 (Which for all intents and purposes seems to be the exact same as the p920). He attempted to root it and ended up bricking it and he wanted me to fix it, after a lot of tinkering I took a break, now after coming back to it I have gotten it out of the bootloop and it is now able to start up fine, with a couple problems. The first of which is that CWM repeatedly restarts every second or so when it is opened, so I can't do any tinkering there. And the second problem that has me completely stumped has to do with the internal phone storage. In storage settings the internal sd card displays 5.57GB as total space and 5.57GB as available space but the internal phone storage shows 0.00B of available space. I am completely unable to install any applications or try to do any tinkering to get the recovery working as I immediately get shut down by something saying there's insufficient storage space on the device. Would anyone be able to help me resolve this issue? I would upload a screencap to show what I mean but XDA won't let me post outside links on my thread yet.

I have almost the same problem. I used rom manager on rooted LG P920 optimus 3D with official Android 2.3.5 to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in recovery mode with success. When I was prompted to reboot system now, I did, but when my phone turned on, in Settings-->SD card and phone storage says "Internal phone storage: Available space 0.00B". I can't install anything either and my phone keeps saying something like "not enough free space, clean up your data and try again". How can I fix this? Can I use the link that you mentioned? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037287&nocache=1
Thanks in advance
I got the same issue when i installed Cyanogenmod nightly rom .. so what i did was wiped cache/delvik cache and factory reset . then i wiped system and internal sd card . then reflashed the rom but after 2 days it was the same issue. then i download the best of all Kings 3D rom v2.3 and redid the above steps and flashed this wonderful rom. my phone has been working awesome since then.
Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
