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.

do you no where i can download 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.

Go back to the one you had before if you want to flash from microSD.

OK but how can I do it?
I have the old CWM recovery file file but I'm unable to load it from SD card Also i can not run file manager to move files to internal storage

I do have q question.. can we use new CWM and flash ROMs using internal memory, i.e. can i place ROM on internal memory and then flash it using CWM, because i was flashing using Micro SD till now...

Yes the 5.5.0.4 and 5.8.1.8 flash file from the internal storage.
It work great, just keep in mind NOT to use something like the Superwipe script
as it will wipe everything from the internal storage, leaving you with nothing to flash and no OS.

i created sdext for old custom rom.....but i didn't for new sense 5 rom....
now how to use that sdext ?..as my internal memory is getting low.

see all rom had same SDEXT partition, required minim 1gb EXT3.
so just reinstall the Rom, before u create SDext using recovery as ext3 ...

[Q] Does CWM recovery backup partitioned sd card?

Does the backup through CWM recovery backups only the internal memory contents or does it back both the partitions of sd card?
I am asking because yesterday when I was taking back up, one of the process message was something like couldnt find ext-sd and ext-sd did not backup.

Did you set up sd-ext? If you havent formated your sd card to 1.partition Fat and 2. partition ext2/3/4 there is no such partition

I have partitioned sd card such that I am able to use 1 gb as internal and link apps through link2sd app. I think I formatted sd card during this process. I hope this is what u were asking.

In that case the recovery should recognize the ext partition. Have you tried using another recovery?

If you use an old CWM (e.g. 5.0.x.x) and your ext partition is "ext4" the recovery can't handle it. What device are you using? I can check for another recovery version

Karbonn A5.
I think when i partitioned it was something like ext3.
Aint there any other way to backup the whole system (internal, external, apps, data, everything) without doing something very technical??

ONLY possible with root access + custom recovery (basics and not very technical...)
Here is TWRP 2.4 recovery. Just copy the zip to your storage and flash it via recovery It will solve your issues (99%)

TWRP will overwrite CWM.
Titanium backup (pro) is awesome, but you will still need a working custom recovery

i got back my imei fixed through a local store. i tried everything which didn't work at that moment. now i have my imei and i used mtk droid tools to take a backup this time and tried the whole process again. i used sp flash tools and the zip method for increasing internal memory for installing color os rom. but it didn't work again.
the current status of my phone is that i am using stock rom which is rooted but all i wanted to ask is that did i mess up with my internal sd card which is actually not allowing me to install color os rom? or is it something else? because i did each and every step correctly each time.

I followed each step correctly..
i used 880mb partition file for that i did wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache>wipe system> wipe dalvik cache and then installed 880mb.zip
as memntioned in that thread i installed the rom zip directly after that and rebbot system. i was supposed to get the bootloop at first which i got and then i did wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache>wipe system> wipe dalvik cache again and installed rom again. but i am stuck in bootloop.
i was reading the reviews in color os thread and it was mentioned to unmount cache and sytem before flashing i did that too but no luck.
so please let me know if i did anything wrong because thiis is all i have been trying.

....................

Figured out internal Sd card mount error clear solution.
Here's what i think you have done
You did a system partition with sptool and also tried zip like 507mb to 1gb or in between .
I had the same problem of lost internal sd card in file manager.
If you want it back or increase system partition try factory mode to format unmount error of internal sd card.
follow these steps.
1) take or keep a backup in sd card.
2) go into cwm recovery mode and flash 507mb partition zip or 1gb partition zip(507mb for undo partition and 1gb for partition)
3)To solve mount issue without external sd card go to factory mode after the flash.
select "Full test" option in it select memory it'll show 3 options
1 Format ext...
2 test pass
3 test fail
And it shows the space in yellow text in two sd card as 0 mb or any . Select the first option which will increase the space of internal sd.
After you'll just need to update or restore backup to successfully fix mount error for internal sd card either for partition or undo partition.
This worked for me when i just tried various format option to format the partition error.
