Ok, so I downloaded root external to internal sd and entered the correct values then I hit swap. My phone then registers the correct memory values(most off the time) however once I restart the phone, all of my gameloft downloads need to download more files and the space is not available. How can I permanently fix this problem as my phone only comes stock with a gig and a half. I have a Samsung galaxy exhibit 4g from metro pcs. (Sgh-t599n) Also, second question, how do I install clockwork mod recovery if e signature certification keeps failing? I rooted with cydia prior to learning about this site and tried to flash a new Rom first and bottom line, did things wrong from the start, now can't toggle signature check off and on to flash anything.any fixes available?

Hello everybody,
I have this annoying problem with my sgs2 (4.0.3)
I have rooted my terminal using odin and everything and I have not installed any rom.
The problem is this:
- apps previously installed in my external sd card won't be read/recognised;
- I cannot move apps to sd with any program;
- apps are still present in my ext sd (occupy memory, I can see them in settings/apps);
- n7player can play music present in the sd.
- exclamation point present during reboot..
Possible problems (some ideas I got from surfing the web): permissions, change of ext. sd location..
Possible solutions: none until now
Last thing: I read some other similar topics but I decided to start a new one because I really couldn't get much of them so please, I am stilla noob about these things, be patient if I don't get everything you suggest
Sorry but I won't be of a lot of help. I can only answer one question for sure the triangle when you switch on your mobile.
That triangle shows that you have rooted your phone and that you have installed a custom binary. There are two ways how you can remove the triangle and the binary count.
Method 1: Using triangle away This is the forum for triangle away:----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Method 2: Using a usb jig (you can buy one from ebay). However the usb jig does not work with ics bootloader so you need to flash the bootloader of gingerbread with odin, use the usb jig and then flash back the ics bootloader with odin and the triangle will be gone. Some more information about the USB jig is found on this thread -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286
I used the second method and it worked. When I rooted my SGS2 I did not have your same problems but I did not stay on the Samsung ROM. I flashed another rom.
What you can do is factory reset your phone, erase your sd card and start everything from the beginning. I know this sounds drastic but it is not that bad. Do a backup of your applications using titanium backup, mount your sd card on your computer and copy everything from it. Format the SD card with your mobile, create ext partition again and then copy back all your folders and data back. (I am talking mainly about the external sd card but you can do the same with the internal one just be sure to copy all the folders after the backup have been done).
If you need any help do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to help you

Hello everydody, I am experiencing some difficulties with my Samsung, model GT-I9003-phone which "dropped off a lorry" somewhere next to my relatives somewhere in Asia. When I goth the device, it was in a non-working condition, except a boot-loop and the download-mode. Back then, I had the package of the phone where the exact version ( I don't know if this is what is called "Baseband" or at least is called baseband at my wife's GT-I5003) was specified. So, back then, I was able to find the exact ROM for the device. Unfortunately, the box with the version number now is - somewhere.
After flashing a stock-rom, I managed to enter recovery-mode where I read something about the internal memory being corrupt. As far as I can recall, I then mounted the external SD-Card and somehow managed to reboot the system back to almost normal operation. Even reboots appeared to work normal, besides the fact I had no memory access, neither to internal nor to external sd. In addition, GPS malfunctioned, too.
Unfortunately, even this state didn't last for long time. After several weeks of now-and-then-use, the system just broke down again into a boot-loop. After some time of flashing a variety of stock roms, I managed to flash clockworkmod recovery which works perfectly well. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to root the phone before it "collapsed" again. Besides the possibility, I'd guess this could be a resaon for CWM being unable to flash a custom rom? Otherwise, I'd just test my way through the varieties of versions .
Basically, I do have two questions: 1. is there a possibility to find out if internal memory has failed - and if yes: How?
2. Is it possible to install any version of CM on that phone in the condition it is in?
Thanks a lot in advance for any answers
Hello everybody, I finally found the box . It reads GT-I9003MKDTHL. Is my assumption right that there are no such things as basebands in the GT-I9003 any more and I should be able to flash pretty much any firmware? Furthermore, today I tried to format what is specified as "sd-card ext" in CWM fir GT-I9003 and it gives me an error-message. When I flash "sd-card", my external sd-card gets formatted. So, I'd presume the internal sd is just fried. I read about a workaround for GT-I 9000, where someone installed Androd on a partitioned external SD. Is there somebody who knows someboy having heard about somthing similar working with the GT-I9903?
One step forward...
Hello everybody, I finally managed to get some light into my issues as I once again figured out how to get a software installed and running . It's this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
Thanks a lot to the guy who just posted it somewhere where id could do good...
By the way, I figured out that this software actually includes the Baseband.
As in this version, the original recovery system is running and giving me an error message when I start it without external SD-card, I am now quite sure that the internal memory has just failed as this error message was specified in another posting of someone who had a similar issue with a GT-I9000.
The biiiig "Outch" is, that I am unable to install any CWM Recovery System with that Baseband..This results in me not being able to upgrade the software to ICS, where - as far as I read some troubleshoot-information - will enable me to mount an additional partition on my SD-Card as Data-Partition which isn't possible yet (i.e.: I can't access my SD for storing data or whatever - it's just specified as "not there").
I tried to install the XXKPE-Baseband to be able to go for KPQ which would enable me to install CWM Recovery. I also installed Bagarias CWM-normalboot-image via Heimdall - but I was unable both to boot the OS and to find any trace of a zip-file on the SD-card.
Edit: I managed to install the right CWM - it's mentioned in the post where I've got the firmware from... now, I only have to figure out how to deal with the fact that "officially" there is no SD-card inserted - or, better, that this SD-card is now flagged as "internal SD" - and how that machine can find the zip-file on it
Thanks for every bit of help with that issue
Try Aroma File Manager with Terminal
For SDCard issue you could probably switch them in vold.fstab in /system/etc
Good Luck !!!

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.
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.

Hi guys! Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, I'm new here. So basically, i have an LG E400 (i know its a really old phone, i don't use it as my regular phone) which has been modified so it can not be used in the regular way (i wont go into the reasons its been modified, its complicated). The USB port has been modified so it cant be connected with a pc (it will only charge), the cell and wifi chips have been removed so it cant be connected to the internet and the system modified so i cant install new apps (if i try to install apks it says the application google play store (process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly. Also, its somehow made to boot and run off external sd, if i take out the sd the screen goes blank, if i try to switch on without sd it just shows the LG logo. Recently i installed linux file systems for windows by paragon software on my pc and using it when i put the sd card in my pc it shows 2 hidden linux volume partitions or whatever its called. in there is the entire system or root or whatever it is (sorry, if this doesn't make sense, I'm new to all this stuff).
So basically i have 3 questions.
1. How was it made to run from sd card?
2. Can install apps by putting the apks in the root or sd or whatever it is? i googled about it and it seems to be possible but i would have to change permissions, is it possible to do that on pc?
3. Can i fix the google verification thing so i can install apks in the regular way?
thanks in advance!
AFAIK it's not possible to boot Android from an external SD-card this because when the phone powers up the Boot ROM code starts executing from a predefined location on NAND which is hardwired in ROM, and you can't change that.
Are you saying that my phone is impossible? what about a custom rom? i don't know if it has a custom rom but if i go into about phone, it shows build number palmoid 2 which as far as i know doesn't exist so could it be a custom rom made the company that modified the phone?
