Hey guys,
I've tried so many things now, but somehow the internal sdcard is not working on Xperia L with CM11.
Problem:
After clean flashing, when I open the camera app is crashes instantly. Other camera apps say they need an external storage. The gallery says "no external storage"
In the file browser I see a lost+found folder but can't open it or do anything (write/read) even with root access .
I tried pac_taoshan-nightly-20141214, and FXP-cm-11-20150301-UNOFFICIAL-taoshan. (all KitKat based)
I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Before, I was using the latest official cm12.1 nightly for xperia l. Lollipop was getting a bit heavy my phone so I decided to switch back. When on cm12.1 I had formatted the cache and data partitions to f2fs, sdcard0 was ext4. There no major issues.
Before flashing to Kitkat I wiped everything and formatted everything to ext4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My external sd card is working fine.
After all this i flashed the original xperial L firmware 4.2.2, and on it everything worked fine. the camera worked, the pictures saved and opened in the album app.
Re-rooting and flashing kitkat brought the problem back.

Any help would be appreciated.
A solution would be better.

Hi guys
I recently installed the latest omnirom (v4.4 / Kitkat), which can be found in the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488986
After following all instructions and what seemed to be a successful installation, my phone seem to be unable to access it's internal storage. This leads to the camera, galary and other aps not working.
Note that I have tried the following:
1. Reformatted internal storage using gparted. I reformated it to fat32.
2. Installed supersu and tried using different aps to fix internal storage. I did not find any aps that actually helped.
3. Tried SlimKat rom instead of Omnirom. Same issue still prevails.
Can anyone give me some information on solving this problem?
Thanks

Recently, I flashed the CM11 ROM. After that, I couldn't access the Internal storage (sdcard0) from Inbuilt file manager or from ES File Explorer.
I was running CM10.1 Alpha 9 before this. I flahsed DDLF2, then CF-ROOT and then went to recovery, used wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. Then, I flashed CM11.
Did I make a mistake while flashing?
I can still install apps and access both sdcard0 and sdcard1 from the recovery.
How can I access sdcard0 from the ROM? If I can't access it, the Camera, the Gallery and Bluetooth receiving don't work.....
Will re-flashing solve the problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok. So since I'm not a Samsung expert forgive if I make a few mistakes lol. But assuming this is the CM11 you got right?

This is weird......
An update was released just a day ago. I will download it, flash it and then see if the problem still persists.
Anyway, I am on this ROM, even though I am not on the latest build.
It seems there was a problem with the SD Card. Recently, it became unmountable. When I removed it, the storage was suddenly fine. No problems at all. Hence, I have found out that the problem was a faulty SD card.

Hello,
I have managed to take my tablet from KitKat to Lollipop and then Marshmallow using cm-13.0-20160802. Everything was working fine up to a point when I was in Japan and then I started experiencing problems with Wi-Fi connections. Following the boot, I was getting a message stating that "Process system isn't responding...". Restarting the tablet was some sort of a solution to be able to use Wi-Fi.
Back to home, I was determined to obtain the most recent version of cm-13.0 hoping to solve the issue but I was not simple. First, let me say that I have a micro SD of 32 Gig, which was integrated as internal memory. My recovery program was TWRP 3.0.0-0. I have tried to follow the steps as explained on Android-Andi FAQ page. I might have made an error somewhere but anyhow, the end result was an empty tablet. Everything was gone including backups saved on the external SD.
To fix this, I have restored my tablet to 4.2.2, rerouted it, went to Lollipop with cm-12.1 and finally to Marshmallow cm-13.0-20161007. Again, my external SD card is now integrated and viewed as internal memory using the feature that comes with cm-13. I have just found out that 2 other releases of cm-13 have been made available since. TWRP is now 3.0.2-7 and was used to back up Lollipop as well as EFS.
I would like to proceed with the update but I would prefer to take an easy way, not the long one as I was forced to. Here is my question: considering that my external SD is viewed as being internal storage, what should I do in order to update my current version of cm-13 to a more recent version?
Regards
You have two options
a.) Doing a dirty flash. Install the rom then wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot
b.) Clean flash. Wipe /system, /data, dalvik, and cache then install the rom. Then wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot.
Wiping Data (Internal storage not /data) is usually not needed unless you want to encrypt the device.
Don't forget to use the latest recovery.
Cheers
Thanks Lightracer for your reply.
By the time I received your reply, I had figured out my problem. I can now update my rom with my external sd card has being viewed as internal storage without loosing everything.
For your information, I do use the latest recovery tool. By the way, I prefer the clean approach.
Thanks again for your involvement.
Hey! Today I made a clean installation of the newest Android N build 2.33 via flashtool. As usual I wiped everything and before flashing the ftf I wiped everything via TWRP which was on the old Marshmallow build installed. After installing nougat I flashed a patched kernel and booted directly into the twrp recovery before the first boot! there I wasnt able to find my internal storage partition! In the file manager there was suddenly no sdcard0, only sdcard1 which is the external sd card. So headed to the wiping options and wanted to wipe the internal storage but I only got a red error log line saying something with "-o". Then I plugged the Z5 into my computer for transfering the deodex patch while the phone was in recovery and the cmputer detected a 8.4GB internal storage partition, but normally it should be 22GB useable storage! how can I fix this?!?! I can boot up the xperia though!
