Hi Guys,
I have a really strange problem with my storage on my nexus 5.
Im running latest cm12.1 nightly.
This problem started as i wanted to install some bigger apps on my device.(like Hotman go, ormini motor racing). Both of these app need permission to write on external storage.
So during the installtion both of these apps fail to install. Okay anyways i can live without some games on my device.
Some minutes ago I tried to load some music on my device via mtp. my laptop and pc both regonise the storage and I can browse the whole directory. So ..as i starting to copy any data the explorer frezzes and does not copy any of the data.(not important if 2mb or 250mb)
Even creating new folder or renaming them leads to a frezz of the current explorer. I wanted to see the storage options built in . now the odd part. if i scroll down the two options to mount or delete the storage are not clickable. Is this normal??
What i tried:
-chainfires app for mounting/dismounting storage ---> app force closes
-fix permission---> nothing
-viewing if storage is mounted via TWRP ---> data is mounted
Does anyone experienced this problem?!
greetings
/e add the storage screen
Have you tried doing a factory reset?

PROBLEM SOLVED
Im using custom rom Androxide 1.2.1 and im having trouble to find any media in my Google apps. I cant find any old images in gallery (although I can find newly taken screenshots.).
And I cant find any music at all i Google Play Music.
I CAN see my stuff on SDcard using Root Explorer and on PC.
I have noticed that android.process.media FC's after bootup. And I belive it has something with that to do, but I cant figure out why or how...
This problem seems to only occur on this Androxide rom, all other roms are OK.
I have tried reboot, full wipe, flash rom again after full wipe, change kernel, fix permissions, connect USB storage - disconnect - and reboot, and I have tried to google it.
No luck.
I have now problem with ALL roms im trying. I have been flashing different roms all day and have only had success like 2 times getting media to be found in Gallery and Music app (no problem in explorer apps).
I have no longer fc's on start up.
-Im not sure if its supose to be like this, but after flashing a rom in CWM Recovery the SDcard gets stuck in mounted mode. I get "error unmounting /sdcard!" when trying to unmount it. Before flashing rom after the data wipes I can mount and unmount as normal.
Also when plugging out the phone from USB transfer mode the USB-logo is still in notification bar for a while, and then the phone says that USB is connected altough I just disconnected it...
Is there something wrong with the phone?
I will attach some screenshots and I hope someone friendly can help me out!
Have you tried clearing data for you Music and gallery under Apps?

Yes I have.
You can also clear data for 'Media Storage', but this could erase some things (I've seen default ringtones being erased). Not sure the whole extent of doing this.
Run rescan media from the market.
I have tried it, it does not work. Thanks for ideas though!

I ran into the same issue with media process fc's and the phone did not recognize any of my media files from the SD Card.. I solved it by backing up all the important files to my PC: pictures, music, TiBu folder, etc... Wiped (reformatted) the SDCard, wiped/factory reset, reflashed the ROM. Restored my apps from TiBu. Copied back my pictures and other files back to the SDCard. Everything worked fine after that.
I think after a while, the SDCard gets so bloated with lots of files causing the media scanner to take a long time to scan the SDCard, thus the out of memory exception.
+1 on the above....
Start fresh all over again.
Get rid of all the unnecessary junk.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
I was hoping this was my last way out, but it makes sense. Backing up SDcard now...
Problem solved
formated sdcard and moved my backup back to it, flashed a nice rom, and now it shows all my media again!
Thanks [email protected]!
Sorry man...
..i have the similar problem to be not able to start ,it freezes,i can start in recovery,but trying to mount the sd card,the reply is "e: can't mount /sdcard/"
i ìd like to try the format of sdcard,but : first of all,i must be able to restart at least one more time,to backup all my file,and then,the question is..after formatting it,how can i reflash a new rom?usually i copy them on the sdcard,and then ,bootin in recovery,i install it with the option ' install zip from sdcard'..but after a format,how to copy it?
Previously I was using cm9, after that I upgraded to cm10. I wiped data, wiped cache in cwm recovery.
After that, I tried xfering some files over to my tab, it looked like this
i. imgur.com/T3LAU.png
From this picture, it can be seen that my internal memory has files and is not empty
yet when I enter the folder
i. imgur.com/Mn7lR.png
Completely empty, cant be seen.
Even after trying to copy and paste files in, only the new files appear, can no longer find my old files.
Can anybody help me? same thing for the SD card. SD card only detected when I removed and plugged in with external usb card reader to my pc.
(I can't post images yet, hopefully someone with >10 posts can hotlink it for me).
Really urgent because I have to use it for my lecture notes in school.
If you want a workaround on this issue, you can use a cloud storage app. For example, dropbox (go to my signature and click the dropbox logo) can allow you to transfer files without even plugging your Xoom into your computer
Managed to solve the issue by doing a complete memory wipe on my internal hard disk but backing up important files before hand w dropbox as the files are still accessible with astro.
No idea how this happened though.
It's called MTP. Hahahaha in other words windows sucks.
Really what happens is the file list directory isn't updated so it doesn't show up on explorer. I don't even use explorer, I just use ADB push or pull.
So i have kind of a situation,
i'm running cm-11-20141102-NIGHTLY-mint.
So, yesterday, i erased my internal storage (in Xperia T a.k.a SD card 0), to renew my device a little bit.
But after that i literally can't do almost anything. My camera crashes as soon as i start it, gallery says there isn't any external storage, can't make screenshots, can't put stuff into the phone. When i try to put something via usb trough my computer it says that the device stopped responding or was disconnected and when i try it strough the phone file manager it says that can't be done and that i need more permissions which is impossible because i already have all r/w permissions.
I'm kind of desesperate right now. I tried to wipe all the data, syste, storage, cashe. Tried to reflash my rom to different one. Even ran some permissions fixes. But nothing worked.
Forgot to mention, there isn't anything on the internal storage right now except the foulder lost+found which seems empty and the clockworkmod folder into, which is weird, can put things.
Is there someone who run into the same issue ?
Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Blaze to CyanogenMod (v11 nightly), now my apps (Camera, Swiftkey, etc.) do not recognize my SD card. I was running stock before this.
In File Manager:
- I can view the external sd card at \storage\sdcard1.
- It appears there is an internal sd card as well at \storage\sdcard0
- There is a folder called \sdcard which appears to link to \storage\sdcard0
- There is a folder called \external_sd which links to \storage\sdcard1
- sdcard0 is empty
I believe this to be a mounting issue, but if it is I cannot figure out the correct mount command in terminal emulator. Thanks for your help in advance.
I know this is nearly a year later, but I ran into this exact same problem while trying to flash an old phone. I was fortunately able to figure out to fix it, and I'm posting this for the sake of anyone else who might have trouble with it as well.
I initially noticed the problem while attempting to download and open files, which kept giving me an error that the files couldn't be located. Using a file manager, I noticed the directories that the OP described above. I believe the internal storage for the Blaze is 4GB, which is partitioned into two parts: one for app data, and the other for user downloads, pictures, etc. I realized that I only saw one of the partitions being displayed on the storage settings screen. Connecting via USB to my computer didn't show any internal storage; I couldn't access any files from the phone besides the ones on my external microSD card.
I booted into my previously-installed ClockworkMod v6.0.4.8 (by holding the volume keys + power, letting go of power after the Samsung splash screen) and went into the 'mounts and storage 'menu, scrolled down, and clicked on the 'mount USB storage' option while connected to my computer. Surprisingly, the internal storage was recognized (specifically the partition containing user data) and I was able to pull all of my files from there that I thought I previously wiped when I went to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2. Somehow, those files were still retained. Now, I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I think all this previous data, which didn't get wiped, prevented the new ROM from mounting this partition (sdcard0), and perhaps led to a path/directory issue when I went to download and open things from it. For some reason, as the OP noted, the sdcard0 storage showed up as empty when I used a file manager app to look inside.
I deleted the files from this mounted storage via my computer, then went back to the 'mounts and storage menu' and formatted the /storage/sdcard0 storage with the 'default' setting to wipe that partition. Then, I wiped user data, cache, and dalvik cache, and let my phone reboot. I did not reflash Cyanogenmod 10.2 after, and I was able to boot into my phone and setup my phone. (I'm not sure if you have to reflash your ROM, but I was able to boot up to a fresh setup without it). I am now able to see both internal storage partitions displayed on my storage setting, use a file manager to see the files in sdcard0, and download and open files.
Hope this helps.
I will try to make it short. While trying to install edxposed, I messed up. It went into startloop. Then I flashed the custom ROM, twrp, base rom, formatted internal storage etc. But now I lost the access to internal storage.
So, current scenario is
1. TWRP can access internal sdcard. It's not even showing any encrypted folders, only 2 folders showing - TWRP & Obb
2. Google play can install apps, but no apps can write anything to internal storage I.e. Camera cannot save Photos, cannot save screenshot, Chrome cannot download anything etc.
3. Settings app showing 0b/0b. Es explorer showing 100% filled. Storage showing 12gb used of 56gb.
4. PC can see my phone storage but cannot paste anything in it.
So it seems to me that somehow my internal storage has become RO or something. So if anyone can help me solve this problem, I will be highly grateful. TIA
UPDATE:
problem not solved yet, but what I found is, the main problem is the root directory for the internal storage has changed somehow. By default, it resides in root/storage/emulated/0, but now it has changed to root/storage/emulated, so the apps cannot access it. Now how can I turn it back to default?

It sounds like to me you have corrupted your internal SD card you will have to format SD card instead of normal wipe and then reflash rom via Computer

I have formatted it already. And what's the difference between flashing a ROM via computer & via USB?

Wipe vs format. Wipe is just removing files from partition without destroying the partition. Format is rebuilding the partition fresh. You did not format phone because that would fix this problem. Format data partition and this will be fixed.
I also had the same issue so i flashed stock through pc. Now its fine. Only issue is on Twrp data shows encrypted, i think i have to flash dm verity zip to decrypt it
