hi all
my 9003 telling me the internal and external SD unavailable as you can see on the attached photo
i have 8gb card it's working fine on my pc and other nokia phone .
when i try the parted command from adb shell i can access the external card on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
but i can't see the internal memory on /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 as the entry shows on the /etc/vold.conf .
can't mounted or formatted from UI or recovery mode
am running XXKPH with CF-ROOT-XXKPH-21.08.2011
also tried different firmware with re-partition but no luck
i think it's internal hardware problem
please advice
thanks
problem solved for now , i can get some storage space from my external mmc
as the phone can't detect the internal mmcblk1p1 and no storage space was available internal nor external seems it's h/w issue.
1st i used parted to make partition on my external mmc from the adb shell
2nd edit the vold.fstab
# internal sdcard
{
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file
asec = enable
mbr_policy = overwrite
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
#end line ## keep this line
3rd edit the /etc/fstab
/dev/block/stl11 /cache rfs rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data rfs rw
/dev/block/stl10 /datadata rfs rw
/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard auto rw
now i have 4gb from my external mmc mapped to the internal , i can install apps and use my camera again
you are my saviour. i got same prob as you. now its working after follow your step.
PLease guide me as I am new to it that how could I Reterive my Internal Memory.
look at the top post!!
Hello ahmedjust
i want to know how to 2nd edit the vold.fstab plaese help me? aed when i give # internal sdcard
says internal : not found how to solved this problem?
i solved it by changing the phone
I have this problem too, I think Internal hardisk has problem .
Same Problem, I guess
Hi all,
I think i have the same issue..my SD card is not being detected , its sayin "Mount SD Card" and that field is disabled probably because it doesnt know that its there even though i have an external 16 GB card inserted..
fyi here are the specs :
model : GT-I9003
Android version : 2.3.7
Internal Memory : 1.87GB
SD Card : Unavailable
Baseband : I9003XXKPQ
ROM : MIUI 2.3.30
Here is the thing, i have flashed my phone about a 100 times, with various ROMS including stock XXKPE,XXKPQ (latest) and still no success
Also, the funny thing is, only 12 gb of my 16 gb external sd is usable so im guessing the 4 gb is being used internally by the phone for the default 2 + 2 gb of samsung galaxy s
on reboot to recovery, when i go to --> install from sd card, it says E: cant mount \sdcard
whereas when i go to --> install from internal sd card, it shows me all the files,folders on my external sd card
Another thing ive seen is when trying to clear cache it says :
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
-------------
Now all said and done, i just wanted some sort of idea whether i should go ahead with this solution because im very sure its the same problem..ive inserted my external sd card on other samsung galaxy s and it works fine..and ive tried inserting other external sd cards onto my phone but it doesnt get mounted..
Thanks!
Same Problem
I think I have the same problem! Will report back if the solution works! It seemed so bazaar, I didn't think anyone else had it.

install any root kernel into your phone 1st.. then put it into recovery mode.. connect to pc and run android sdk... type command "adb push c:\(location of vold.fstab file in your pc) \system\etc\" and enter.. type without the " and ().. this way you will push the file from your pc into your phone and it will replace the previous one..
example : adb push c:\users\anplugged\desktop\vold.fstab /system/etc/
have a try mate.. good luck...
thanks to you.

thanks mate... This solved my issue... Just one more thing can use more than 4gb from the external sd?

can I answer your question on behalf of ahmedjust....? yes you can mate as long as you have sufficient space on your external SD...

1st of all, of course you'll need a larger capacity of SD.. i.e 16gb..
to increase the external memory space, edit the 1st partition of fat32 format.. in the picture posted by ahmedjust, he created :
start end
32.8kb 4702mb <--increase the end figure to get more space on external..
But the following 3 partition must have +/- space as seen on the pic..
You just need to do the math to divide the space...
Good Luck..
Help
hi,
i was flashing poseidon rom on xxkpq when suddenly my internal sd card and external sd card just disappeared ...
could this help me solve my problem .
Thanks
plz help me i am not able to partition the external sd.
My problem: modified my phone as described in #1.
Phone boots fine, but whenever I install an app it just reboots. Any ideas?
Did you know? Editing /etc/fstab is pointless. Every time you reboot, it is replaced by a default one.

That is not true. I am a user of modified fstab file and it has been very useful to me because it saved my phone from being totally useless. I used to have "pseudo resets" errors, "sd card unexpectedly removed" errors, "force closes", but now my phone is 99% OK (1% = my internal SD is destroyed already :laugh: ). But no more errors encountered after using modified fstab, very stable for 3 weeks and counting.
Hi,
Did anybody found a way to enable UMS mounting of the internal SD card on the A700?
I tried UMS tool but it had some redering problems.

UMS probably will not work on the A700 as the internal SD card is actually a directory on the /data partition.
From what I understand UMS works by unmounting the internal storage partition and making it available over USB.
As the A700 does not use a actual partition for internal storage it can not unmount it.
This is why the A700 and other devices with a shared /data<>internal storage partitions all came using MTP.
Since I'm using a custom ROM that make the External (bigger: 14GB) SD mount as the default /sdcard, and internal (smaller) as /sdcard2 or something I don't really need it and would much rather like to mount it entirely as /data
.. something similar to this script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 except that it "Mounts **/sd-ext** to /data" but I want to mount /mnt/sdcard2 to /data
. How do I do that?
Problems: I've found that Android would neither let that internal partition be ext3 (it switches it back to FAT even if I somehow manage to format it as ext3). Nor would it mount /data to a FAT partition. What can/should I do?

Hello guys,
I want to convert my internal storage from my S6 to EXT4. I have tried this. But this guide is not working with the S6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-format-ext4-internal-memory-data-t2852815
The problem is that TWRP (3.0.2-1) not work. The storage is not visible in recovery mode. I have no access in parted magic.
I need the EXT file system to create a symbolic link to the internal storage. But the filesystem from the internal storage is
not compatible to symbolic links.
Has anyone an idea?
