I'm missing the internal SD partition on my P5100. Please Help!!!

When I check out my available storage, it shows nothing for USB internal storage. It only shows the "Device Memory" of 1.97gb as the total space. If I put in an external SD card, it does show that. I know that it will not show my full 16gb, but there should be an un-mounted partition of approximately 10gb free.
I think it may have happened as I tried installing a couple of roms. I installed the CM10 JB and a stock rooted 4.04 one. I just got the device and it came with 4.03 on it. I have tried reinstalling different stock ones and they all show no internal usb storage anymore. How can I tell if there is an unused partition on the device? I have ADB/Shell access, but not sure what commands to use. When I go to CWM and mount the "USB Storage" it doesn’t mount it.
I have tried to fix permissions, reset everything and installed the stock rom from odin and CWM. I also tried CWM 6. I appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks.
I had the same problem I solved it by using .PIT file with stock ROM
and repartitioning when using odin
I am attaching the file please use it at your own risk
I am not a devoloper

I just tried that and i'm still having the same problems. This is what I did. I put the file you gave me in the .pit box and put the Russian Stock 4.04 in the PDA box. I made sure the Re-Partition box was checked. Do I need CWM installed before I do this? What stock file did you use? I appreciate it.
I just tried it again with Odin 1.87 and it worked!!! It now saws I have 12gb free. Is that normal? I assume therest is reserved for other things.
Thank you so much!!!
One more question. Should I have a seperate partition for USB storage as I thought I did before? It use to say 1.97gb of device memory and 10gb of USB storage.
where did you download odin 1.87 the latest version i know is 1.85?

Actually, 12GB free is normal. the other 4 GB is reserved for system(software/apps)
Whats with this idea that the pit file is a silver bullet for everything?

[Q] need help: internal memory GT-P6800 reduced to 16Gb

Hi guys…
I’ve just upgrade my GT-P6800 (wifi + 3G) 32Gb from HC to ICS using odin to flash firmware. Using firmware XSE, PIT, and modem, it’s successfully to ICS but internal memory reduced to 16Gb, please help me how to get back internal memory to 32Gb? My friend told me to flash a PIT file for GT-P6800 32Gb, where I can find it?
it is because you may have initially flashed a PIT file that was intended for the 16GB model

I edit my 16G PIT to 32GPIT for you. I don't know the real size of 32G so I just double the data partition to 28G+. you may lost a few hundred M.
The PIT file:
http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/MDIDBFYPUMXZ
flash the rom again with Odin.
Load the rom file in Odin
click the PIT button and replace with the above file. Start
Do remember not to do Factoy rest or wipe! It may brick your Tablet!
Goodluck!

If it is a samsung device then you must retrieve the pit file with heimdall.
And modify the pit.
Backup your rom.
Then flash the pit with heimdall.
Then restore your rom.
Or reflash a new rom (recommended)
Check out AdamOutler's tool for looking at pit files.

Intern, sd, extsd, system, Cache, ... howto?

Hi Guys,
After a lot of trials and errors I finally succeeded in restarting my device. My current os is android V4.0.4.
My Tablet is GT-P6810. Tab is rooted.
I have been struggling with low memory messages and problems ever since I can remember. That was the reason I started installing custom stocks in the first place.
Now I am trying to find a solution to this low memory problem.
The first hurdle is to find out which memory is the problem.
On the forum they are always talking about low RAM, and the fact that Ram is only about 819MB. However, when I check my memory with 'link2sd' I get the following data:
Intern: 72 % free - tot: 12.96 GB, used 3.57 GB, Free: 9.39 GB
SD-card:72 % free - tot: 12.96 GB, used 3.57 GB, Free: 9.39 GB
SD-card second partition 'not found' (which is logical since I haven't made one yet)
System: 10% free: Tot: 819 MB, Used: 729 MB, Free 89.64 MB
Cache: 97% free, Tot 197 MB, Used: 4.15 MB, Free: 193MB
Also see the screendump attached.
Internal and SD are the same. This seems logical since Samsung is clearly stating that the internal memory is simulated (by using part of the SD-card.
All the programs are talking about is to increase the cache. My cache however is still 97% free. So no problem there, and I do not need to increase my Cache.
However, System memory is very low. I presume that what most people are talking about is actually the system memory. If I am correct, that is the one I should be increasing. :crying:
I must point out that I recently checked my P1000 device and that has a systems memory of 1.5 GB. Imagine. And a device like the P6810 only has 819 MB !!!???
The P1000 has been running for several years now with a multitude of programs, and being used by myself, my wife and my daughter with no problems what so ever (except the ones I created myself). :silly:
Finally my question: Does anyone know of a method to increase not the cache but the system memory from 819 MB to let's say 2 GB ?
I would be ever so grateful. Finally I would be able to use my device the way it was meant to.
ps: I have tried the roehsoft 'memoryInfo & Swapfile Check, and my device is not suited for the roehsoft app.
To expand partitions you will need pit file for your device, then make a copy of it and use a pit file editor to shrink partition after the system partition, then add remaning value to system.. then flash pit with heimdall or odin.

Hi,
Thx.
Would it be possible to elaborate a bit more, or to point me in the direction of a link where the actions you described are explained a bit more in depth?
Also questions like how do I know the pit-file is the right version? ...
