Samsung Galaxy S cant see inbuilt ROM

Hi have a problem hope someone can help me, just connected the phone to the pc through usb but cant seem to see the inbuilt ROM. I've gonne into the phone settings and selected mass storage connection setting but still nothing.
I'm running Win7 32bit,
Thx

with mass storage you can only see the SD Card I believe (not 100% sure but that's how it is on my HTC Magic)
I think to see the inbuilt ROM you have to open it with Kies

if i plug my omnia in it shows both inbuilt an sd memory so dont know why its doing this...

That is because the Magic doesn't have any extendend internal memory. You can't see the system/apps partition with mass storage. On the Galaxy S, 2 GB of the internal 8 or 16 GB are reserved for that, the rest (6 or 14 GB) is extended internal storage - like a non-removable SD card. With mass storage, you should see that and the SD card.

on the galaxy1 you also see the internal 8GB as a standard mass storage on the PC.

Take the sd card out and try maybe ???

good to know thank you phew =D I hope it works with the galaxy S also

[Q] how do i know if my app is installed on storage card?

hi, how can i tell if all my apps is installed on phone's internal storage or the external storage card? I have 2 GB card, and wish to upgrade to 8GB one.
I am using Wildfire, with Android 2.1 official ROM release
thanx

If you are using a official stock rom, they will be installed to the phones memory. They will only go onto the sdcard if you are using a custom rom like wildpuzzle which has apps2sd activated.

and when you do have wildpuzzle with app2sd, you can tell they're installed on sd by looking at your phone memory , i have about 130ish mb phone memory instead of like 20 before xD. umm and they are installed auto to your sd card i believe, i think you have to check the sd-ext folder or something.

[Q] Mass Storage Internal SD

Got my GF a MT4G last week. Its a great phone but I noticed one thing thats kind of bugging me. On my Vibrant when I plug into PC for mass storage mode both my internal and external memory show up. If I opened up any file manager it would start in mnt/sdcard (internal memory) and have a folder called ext-sd that would take me to the external sd card.
However on the MT4G, when you plug it into the PC for mass storage only the external SD shows up. And in file manager only the external sd card shows. Is this normal for the phone?
fyi, its running froyo 2.2.1 with root and s=OFF.

Yea, I think it's normal for all the android phones, it's weird that your internal memory shows up.

This is normal for most android phones. The vibrant is one of a handful of oddballs in that the internal memory is intended to be directly accessed by users for storage purposes.

Oh ok. I had no idea since the Vibrant is the only android phone Ive ever owned. Thanks for the replies!

[Q] Any way to mount HD2 /internal/ storage as Windows drive via USB?

Hi folks,
I've got an HD2 running TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.0.7. If I connect via USB to 64-bit Win 7, the SD card gets mounted just fine, but the internal storage doesn't. Is there any way to mount the internal storage as well?
Thanks very much,
David Wood

Oops mispost. Sorry

If you use the Droid Explorer you can access the Internal Phone partitions.

Which Recovery for Internal and External SD?

What's currently the best recovery that can access both the internal storage and external SD Card?

I'm using the TWRP version installed via GooManager and it does support both internal and external memory.
You can read/write nandroid backup from/to both memory as well as install new ROM from the 2 mem.
I have not been able to share the internal/external memory to my PC via USB cable while I'm in recovery mode.
It's probably a driver issue on the PC side, I have not investigated too much this issue since I can easily get around it.

I've been stuck on some extremely old CWM that I installed from rooting months ago so thank you!
