I totally bricked my phone yesterday by modifying some files I shouldnt of. It was my fault, for sure.
I followed the guide for restoring my phone using Odin, im just having one problem. It appears that /system isnt mounting? The phones telling me I have 0 space in internal storage.
Is there something i need to do to get /system to mount? I know its not actually low on space, and I confirmed this with adb -df command. over 86% free still.
Thanks for ANY suggestions!
Use the program adrynalyne created to fix the problem. You will need to search for it here unless someone posts a link.
no luck with the search. any other suggestions?

Have you tried doing a factory data reset via clearing it in your privacy menu under settings? FYI - I had one of those 0.0 gB space in internal memory due to my inept attempt at disabling voodoo, but had to eventuallyL (1) adb push the original.mbr and (2) do a factory data reset in the privacy menu.

not to steal the topic but with my recent problem, my fascinate decided to basically reboot itself to stock all on its own but was still rooted minus ALL the apps on the phone without the sd card being recognized. Was the sd card holding all these apps and the real question is I went to install quadrant to see if the kernel was still installed internally and it said I didnt have enough disk space internally. Does this mean the kernel is still installed and was causing this? Also since I unrooted to take the phone to verizon to get a new sd card since it faulted...will i have to remove files before I redo the root and everything else, CWM, rom manager, root explorer, etc....

You need original.mbr or the program created by adrynalyne to fix your problem. That is the only thing that will help.

FIXED!
Thanks everyone! looks like it was cause by having voodoo installed previously. I followed adrenalyn's steps to completely removing it, including a factory reset and pushing the original.mbr (thanks nemesis and durkabane!)

Im redownloading all my apps because i cant restore a back up and the market is telling me "Installation error: Insufficient storage available." even though i have like 340mbs of storage left on my phone... running syndicate rom 1.1.1 with their 1.1.1 Twilight kernel
EDIT: i deleted google earth which is a 23mb file and then tried to redownload poweramp and still says error, then i redownloaded google earth with no problems
I had that problem with taptap. I downloaded SD Maid from the market and searched my sd for corpses - turns out there was parts of the app still on the sd card. Try it

Yup...I had this same problem and solution with ebay app.
Do you BONSAI?
Thanks guys that worked... Im on the phone but +1 when I get on the laptop and no I don't bonsai
Thanks for the info. I don't think I have any SD issues but I'm going to run SD Maid anyway just to see how it improves things.
Its the one from the Amanzon App Store. I have an account and its linked to my phone. I know the trick for most apps like Angry Birds is to unmount the sd card and install. Usually that works but for this game its to large so it needs the sd card. Anyone experience this problem or have any working solutions?

You have a stock Streak? I am on official build 3.18 with perf. fix and superuser update plus custom recovery mod Dr. version designed for Streak non beta. I wonder if has something to do with my sd card its a 32gb model.

I also downloaded the .apk from another site and put it in my systems app directory in my phone without the sd card and still got the exact same error. It doesnt even take it a second to spit back that it cant install it. Its like its not even trying.

Found Solution!
Found Game .apk online.
Copied it to phone via root explorer to /data/apps
Unmounted sd card and waited for 5 seconds [did not do this before]
Installed Game .apk by clicking on it in Root Explorer in /data/apps
Mounted sd card
BAM! Working!
I have no idea why this worked but it did!

Yes. Had the issue last night. Only when trying to download and auto install. If i install from the filesystem, it does fine. Btw, for questions like this to be best answered, list what rom and kernel you are on. The more info, the better.
The graph on there is defintely not giving an accurate representation, or the numbers are way off. If its an 8gb, youll only have about 6gb of usable user memory space. The rest is used or reserved for the system.

Do you have any CWM backups? Starting with 6.0 CWM stores your backups differently than before and simply deleting them through something like Root Explorer doesn't clear everything out.
Go into CWM>manage backups and delete any you don't need, them run a new backup. I did this and cleared up over 4GB of storage.

Not using cwm ... No back ups. Again, i have gigs of storage available... i cleared data from a few large apps, uninstalled 100+ mb of apps, rebooted, cleared cache & dalvik cache in recovery.
I searched odex files...TiBU was only odex in data folder, deleted it, restarted. Nothing.
I tried the lucky patch "fix" ... still nothing. Grrrr

Do you have ES File Explorer installed? If so, go to menu>manage>SD Card Analyst. See what it says.
Seen this as well with auto install. Turn it off and try manually doing it.

*Bump* ... this is really frustrating. I'm not sure what I've done.
I keep getting "insufficient storage" when trying to install or update some apps. (YouTube & Google Drive won't update, I can't install Slacker Radio or an app I downloaded from XDA) ... but some other apps seem to install fine. Seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why some apps install & others don't.
I have a rooted, unlocked 16gb C60 N7 with Stock ROM, kernel etc. All I did was root & unlock. The storage screen in settings shows 13.24 total, 8.11 gb available. When I do SD Analyst from ES Flie Explorer, it gives me same numbers...13.24 GB total, 5.13 GB used, 8.11 GB avail.
So how is there insufficient storage? I've cleared cache of Play Store, rebooted, still same problem. I don't have auto-update checked, There a "fix" in Lucky Patcher ... that didn't work either. I don't want to have to flash the factory ROM...I'm ON the FACTORY ROM.
What am I missing? What app could be causing this?

Thanks for offer. As my post above yours states, I've tried the Lucky Patcher "fix" and it didn't work ... I tried. Ironically, the first time I launched Lucky Patcher (I already had it installed) after this problem arose, it tried to update & couldn't!!! HA.
Any other ideas? This is getting quite annoying ... Thanks all.

Sorry, missed the fact you already tried the lucky patcher fix.
Here is another solution I have used in the past, but not sure if it still applies to JB. Using Root Explorer, or similar (providing you have it installed already), or use ADB,
navigate to either /sdcard/.android_secure or /mnt/secure/asec/ folder and delete smdl2tmp1.asec if it is there
If not, I am out of idea's, sorry.
Good to see I am not the only one with an issue from the storage reporting, I was going to start my own thread but I saw this one.
My SD card space shows 13.24GB available, 8.92GB used, 4.31GB available which from first glance adds up.... but the problem is that my apps add up to about 6.64GB and I have 550MB of Images/Roms so where has my extra free space gone?
ES file explorer even reports the SDcard as have 7.26GB of used space, I have attached some images showing the inconsistencies, anyone out there with experience or ideas?
No luck. I am at a loss. But I have noticed it is only Google apps!
That is doubly annoying!
Is there some effing Google support? You guys have been great...

Maybe, if you install those apps in to the sd card and the sdcard somehow have some bad blocks or unable to read by system.Try to uninstall one app and reinstall it again if problem will solved back up your sdcard and format it and copy back your backup maybe later install other apps what you want.

I had this problem too in the past and never really got to what was causing it...If I remember correctly the situation improved considerably after I wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions but not very sure if that's related
They're not reading properly off the SD card. Back up your SD and run a check on it.
