I recently downgraded to gingerbread , everything went well thanks to xbsall's new rebooter tool.
I booted and when i came to the home screen i came across an error which said "Damaged Phone Memory".
I first ignored it and went on but when i installed ez file explorer , it says no sd card mounted or nonexistent.
I can't seem to download anything (No sd card error again) except apps which install at system's partition.
Anyone have this error ?
Edit : When i return to ICS it all goes away.
I also realized my old stuff is still around. (That's odd because i thought due to the change in size in partitions it formatted the sdcard. It's actually more odd because i manually formatted it.)
I wiped data/factory reset.
Wiped dalvik cache wiped everything.
Formatted Sdcard. (Apparently it doesn't recognize my sdcard so this format may not count...)
No luck so far.
Pretty sure you just need to reformat/erase the sd card from the menu.

When you downgrade from xbsall's ICS port with v21e it will always show damaged phone memory. All you have to do is flash your countries stock ROM. There is a thread somewhere for the download links. Just look for them then unzip the .bin and .fls files then flash them as you did to up/down grade.

Will try the next time i'm not lazy...
Thanks for the help guys.
Will ask xbsall to include this in his repair guide.

Format sdcard from ROM settings
Factory reset in the main menu if it's the internal storage. It's normally due to the fact that the SD and/or other storage areas are formatted as EXT4, something GB can't handle seemingly.
InternalSDcard partition allocates different memmory blocks in my Ported SU760 ICS than those of original P920 Gingerbread thats why you need to reformat when you get back to Gingerbread.
Both in ICS and GB it is in FAT format.
Is factory reset from clockwork any different from the original ? If no i did a factory reset at clockwork but it didn't work...

I said format internal SD from your ROM settings.
Boot into ROM go to settings, storage and FORMAT internalSD

I asked it in accordance to what Devion said.
Sorry forgot to quote...
Can't I recover files if i not update back to ICS? no other way? I need this files...
I had this exact same issue, and when pressed app menu, i only had the 3D apps, (couldnt even go to settings),
What i did was; on main screen pressed left capacitive button to get to settings and did a factory reset.
just downgraded and had 0 internal memory but after factory reset I now have 0.89 gb internal memory (not internal sd) is it supposed to be this only? I had the impression it was around 2 gigs?
btw I got stock v21E nothing uninstalled

Nothing is damaged just format the memory from the menu and it will be fine (might need a rebooting as well, can't remember)

had already formatted and done a factory reset. Now my question is apart from internal sd which gives me about 5.5 gig i get a mere 0.89 gig of internal ram. Is it supposed to be that only or more? Again I had the impression that it was supposed to be around 2 gig internal memory (i.e reserved for app installation). Stock v21E nothing installed and nothing removed.

what you got is right.
I had the same issue of "damaged internal memory". Factory reset helped.
Its only 1GB internal.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped.

DID you succeed, cuz i've the same pb but my phone is a P925 not the P920
And all the advises here don't work for me
In fact GB V21e bootloader and rebooter in xbsall doesn't succeed in booting my phone after downgrade so I went back to ICS bootloader wich boot but end up with this memory problem. No formating/factory reset from romor even from recovery work for me. Perharp your v21e is not suitable for LG P925 ??!!
Any suggestions
OK...I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S4, and keep getting "Storage Space Running Out" message !
The thing though is, that I should have tons of internal storage left. I have flashed 3 different ROMs, and after a few days I get the message again. I can erase some apps to free up space, and half a day later same problem. I can't even get my apps on the phone, due to space issues and I also can't put them on the external SD (not with a specific APP to do it for me, nor can I move them manually, because the button is simply not there in the Storage or APPs SETTINGS menu).
Every time I flash a new ROM I clear data, dalvic....full factory reset....but end up with the same result!
Could someone please help out with a fix or solution with this very annoying problem.
P.S.: ....yes, I have searched tons on this forum and others, but nothing has worked for me yet!
....ANYONE ????
Hello
Looking at images you included it looks like apps & data takes only 1 GB space . There must be some junk in internal storage (may be old .asec files , thumbnails etc). Attach the screenshot of sd storage also . I should see where the data is stored in your current rom .

I flashed old Nandroid of SACS ROM 4.3....so it would be a stock rom screenshot now, and all you would see is that there is 18Gig memory left on the SD card!!!
I had to reflash Nandroid because I traveled and I wasn't getting a signal on my previous rom! I do now...but the problem remains, or actually is worse, but at least my phone works to make calls (no txt or email, because storage space is too low).
In either case, the SD storage has plenty of room, but I don't think that this was ever an issue!....I think it is the phone itself, but maybe there is a fix and I would prefer that over taking it in for many reasons!
Thanks for getting back to me though, let me know.....
Hi
Copy all required data from internal storage to sd card and format internal storage from custom recovery (CWM/mount/format emmc or TWRP/wipe/advanced/emmc) and reboot.
Hope it works !

I will try that tomorrow and will let you know....thx again!
i want you to try stock rom for few days and check
OK...!
I wiped everything again and did factory reset...
copied everything from internal storage to a computer...
formatted data and system (twice)
wiped again, formatted data and system again....
flashed a sprint stock rom
same problem.... I have 860MB of 16GB unused space available!!!!
when I check though, my system data (bare essentials of what is left) is only 348MB....there is 647MB used for apps....the rest is clean!!!
I am still not sure where all the storage went! Could my internal storage be corrupt or broke???
Thanks for the ideas, I will try anything!!!

Try flashing your stock rom again.
I told to format internal storage (emmc) and not data and system partitions. Try that

I had to do a factory reset on my Moto G 4G as it was not working properly. I backed up everything using Helium and all the contacts to storage. I didn't realise that I was actually backing up to internal storage rather than an SD card (not present). After a factory reset, I lost all the backups. I assumed Helium would have backed everything up to the computer it was connected to?
Is there a way to recover what was on the internal storage prior to the factory reset? The phone doesn't appear as separate mass storage drive when connected to the computer. It is just listed as the phone name under My Computer so I cannot seem to run any standard file recovery tools such as Testdisk.
Help!?
No hope?
I'm guessing since no one has replied that there is no hope in recovering the original data?

Hey
U know recovery applications that I used can scan memory that can mount ... (I can't remember exact name)like using Samy or Sony.they shows the drives as a software not a mountable memory.like u put SD card on a memory reader n use that.it can be support by rec app but that one no I think
Try rec app in ur system or find a hack that can mount internal men then go on
Hope this will help you
Might see if this thread will help mounting the storage in ADB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2843152
When I bought this phone (LG Optimus L90 D410 Dual) 2 years ago, when I checked the storage, system was using only 3GB, which left me with 5GB (it has a total of 8GB). But now, when I check how much system storage is using, it is using 5GB, leaving me with only 3GB of storage. How can I make my system data as small as it was back when I bought it?

clear junk data using clean master app or use sd maid pro for better cleaning..... and if you want your storage like before as was your phone new.. you shall carry less apps as less you can... and move apps to sd card for more system storage.....
The thing is, I already use Clean Master (frequently), the apps I install they all use the 3GB of storage I have and I can't move apps to sd card cuz' I'm on 6.0.1 (Cyanogenmod 13)
EDIT: System data was using 5GB before I installed CM 13

Try debloating your current android installation by removing system apps that you would not use. This can be accomplished using applications such as <Mod snip of warez reference > or system app remover in Google Play.
All the bloatware I have with CM 13 is some apps that only use KB of storage and Gapps (Nano), which they all sums up 293.6MB

The problem is that the disk is partitioned in such a way that leaves little space for apps.
What you should do:
1. Shrink /system partition where it has enough memory to do all it's stuff, but doesn't take up too much space. You said 3GB worked fine in the past and it probably will now.
2. Allocate the unused space to the /data partition
Warning: If repartitioning goes wrong it will most likely result in a hard brick. Know what you're doing.
Warning 2: Many people say you should never repatition your phone. You will no longer be able to instal updates and the space you take away from the system may be critical storage used for device recovery or some kind of backup or emergency mode. Try app2sd or (if you're hardcore into moving stuff) link2sd.
1st: I thought of resizing the system partition, so I googled it and couldn't find anything, so how do I resize a partition on my phone?
2nd: If I make a backup of my entire phone through TWRP in case anything goes wrong, if I hard brick my device could I just restore the backup?
3rd: I already tried App2SD and Link2SD, but when i partitioned my SD Card, it gave an error. (Gonna move the things inside the SD Card to my PC and try to partition it, so I can specify the error)
if you have upgraded Android it could be that the newer versions are larger than the old one due to more features?

So it looks like your system is taking up less than a GB. Have you used Root Browser to check what is in that MNT folder? The reason I asked is because I checked my Nexus 6 and my LG G Pad 7.0 and I don't see the MNT folder anywhere. I am running Android 5.0.1 on both devices. Below are screenshots of both of my devices
There are 2 links to my home directory (on "asec, expand, media_rw, obb, sdcard, secure and user" folders), and a runtime folder, which has 3 folders(default, read and write), with the 3 of them being a link to the /storage folder

Does your phone support external SD card or is it all internal?
It supports external SD, but I "can't" move anything to it cuz I'm on 6.0.1, so I would have to transform it into Internal Storage and I could transform it into Mixed Storage, but the problem is that whenever my SD Card is Internal or Mixed Storage, it randomly pops out, forcing me to turn off my phone, re-insert my SD card and boot it again. I'm not with it cuz' currently I'm putting some pdf files to it on my PC

Have you tried using Apps2SD? Not sure if it works on 6.0 but it works on 5.0 and below.
I cannot get it to work cuz' when I partition my sd card and try to mount script, it showed up the error "file not found". When I checked the directory it specified, I realized that I didn't have the 179:66 file, the one I have is public:179_66. The temporary solution (cuz' the file got deleted when i rebooted my phone) was create a hard link from public:179_66 to 179:66, which resulted on the error "Invalid Argument" (Sorry if something's written worng, English is not my native language)

So back to the main issue, according to your X-Plore results, your system folder is only taking up 876mb. I would download a root file explorer such as Root Explorer and explore the various folders such as Data (2.99gb) and MNT (1.34gb) and see if you have some temp files you can get rid of. There are also apps such as CCleaner that will scan your device for temp/cache files you can safely remove to make more room.
Hello everyone, idk if i am in the right place to ask or not but. I got problem with the note 10+ storage missing, i came here bec the phone was rooted before and was sent to a device fixer place. To install the original operating system and remove the sim lock. Now everything was fine except for the fact that the storage is gone, from 215 gb or so to 32 gb. I want to know where did all of that go? anyone knows anything about this problem?
