Please Help - Phone showing 0.00 Storage Space

ok so here is my problem...
My phone i showing 0.00B of storage space, same issue as other posters. However, something corrupted my SD card so I have no CWM and no CWM recovery or backup. What I have done so far...I have flashed the stock ROM and Kernal via Odin. My phone will power on and I can use it like normal, however, I have 0.00B of space and cannot download or install anything. I have restored root and am unsure of where to go from here since I can't just download CWM via the market and go from there. Can anyone please help me? Also, this is my first time rooting etc, so I am not familiar with every acronym and process, if someone could just take the time and write out in simple terms what I need to do to get my phone back to normal I would truly.....truly appreciate it, thanks in advance to anyone who will try and help.

I hope someone can help you out, but I hope this also serves notice for others who are first time rooters. If you aren't sure what to do, either don't do it, or get some help before possibly ruining your phone.

Well...you couldn't have predicted your sd card failing. Do you have another? Head over to cyanogen mod forum and see if you can get the apk on to another sd card.

i do have asnother SD card. I am re-rooted and noty sure of where to go from here. If someone could help me out from here I'd be very grateful.

Sounds to me like you had a voodoo kernel installed and then installed a stock kernel, without the voodoo properly uninstalling. If this is the case, I would try the following:
Get the CWM update.zip and put on your sd card.
Put the old voodoo kernel that you had on your sd card.
Boot into recovery and run the update.zip, putting you into CWM recovery.
Reinstall the old voodoo kernel.
Reboot, if everything works and you can download apps again you will need to completely uninstall the voodoo kernel. Follow the instructions posted in this forum to completely uninstall the voodoo kernel. You can find these instructions in this thread.
Make sure you use the manual install, I did not have any luck with the zip file uninstall. Also make sure you do the final step and wipe the data.
Once these steps are completed, you should have your original kernel installed with voodoo gone completely, and you should have your disk space back.
If this is not what happened, then I am sorry I am not sure what to try. I know that these are the same symptoms that I had and this is what fixed mine.
Good luck.

selem thanks a lot...but problem is, I do not have CWM, and I cannot download it becuase I have no space on my phone. Also, I do not have the Voodoo Kernel saved to my SD card because I have noything on my sd card, that's the problem. Without anything on my sd card and without an internal memory to download anything how can I return to stock?

Can you take your new sd card, go into recovery, and format the SDcard by any chance? Can you do this with your old one?
When you have a clean, fully functional SDCard, can you flash CWM then?

when i try to boot into recovery mode I get this message
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
I cannot flash CWM if I can't download the app. Since I have no space on my phone it's not allowing me to download or install anything, and without and existing version of Rom Manager on my SD card I dont know how I will be able to boot into CWM recovery.

I'm not sure I'm following this.. Your SD card does, or does not work?
If you flash the Voodoo kernel back you should get to the point where you can then download whatever you need since that should solve your zero free space problem. You can flash the Voodoo kernel via Odin. Just download the Voodoo kernel you want, open up the zip file, and find zImage. Extract that. You might have to put it into .tar format to flash, or Odin might just accept a plain zImage file. I'm not sure. Always use "PDA" when flashing with Odin, never ever ever ever ever ever ever use the "phone" box. Always PDA.
Assuming you have a working SD card, recovering from this should be pretty straightforward.
The key here is you obviously need to extract the zImage file (which is the actual kernel) to flash via Odin. This removes the need for ROM Manager, or any access to the GUI.

Like I mentioned above, use Odin. If you want CWM recovery, flash CWM kernel via Odin. Then you just need to put the CWM update.zip on your SD card. Boot into recovery, apply update.zip.
Here is update.zip (the CWM version).

namebrandon, thanks for your instructions. I do have a functioning sd card now, I got a new one. THis is one blank though, so no information what so ever on it. If I understand correctly, I can install the Voodoo kernal via ODIN using the "PDA" option....and that's it?? (Of course using the steps you mentioned about extracting etc)

That will get you a functional CWM recovery. You'll still see that error in stock recovery since your mbr is still set for Voodoo.
If you want to apply Voodoo back, and try to correctly uninstall it, you'll need to flash this (Voodoo zImage). I've extracted just the zImage form Dirrk's SV_1100 Voodoo kernel.
You'll need to flash it, it might do the conversion, then once you've booted into the OS, you'll need to create the disable_lagfix file. How to do that is in one of the "How to Uninstall Voodoo" threads.
file attached.. you need to remove the .zip extension.. it should just be .tar , but xda doesn't allow .tar files.

100% correct. Going back to stock takes an extra few steps after CWM, so I suggest trying Voodoo first. The problem with 0.00 free space is that your mbr is still set for Voodoo. It didn't get put back to stock, so ideally you flash voodoo, then uninstall, and the uninstall sets your mbr back to stock.
CWM is for other troubleshooting, if you need it. I'm not going to be around for a bit, but it sounds like this should get you to a point where you can recover from. I highly recommend joining the irc channel and having someone walk you through it step by step.

namebrandon...still need help. I have downloaded the Voodoo Kernal I want to use and have it saved on my desktop. Can I install that using Odin? Also, I have downloaded the CWM update zip and I know you said place it on my SD card but where? I placed it on my SD card but not in a particular folder and rebooted into recovery and tried to install update.zip but that did not work. I have the voodoo kernal downloaded, I have the update.zip downloaded...I don't know where to go from here.

@ Namebrandon - Can I install the Voodoo Kernal using Odin?

No. the zip must be flashed using cwm recovery. If I have some time later I'll upload an odin version of the voodoo kernels.

[Q] Cant run update.zip to get clockwork anymore

Hello all.
the other day i installed [ROM] VIPERrom v1.0.2. The install went great, just as any other ROM install I've done in the past. Today i wanted to try my luck with quantum but ran into a road block.
every time i boot into manual recovery mode to run the update.zip to access clockwork i get a very weird error i cant seem to figure out. Google really hasn't
been much help either.
When i hit update.zip i get:
E:can't mount sdcard/dev/block/vold/179:1 (no such file on directory)
Then another error saying the E:/update.zip is invalid or something along those lines.
I want to say this might have something to do with file structure change in viperrom maybe? Recovery is still 2e and i always boot to manual.... The phone and ROM still functions fine, i just want to try quantum or go back to baked snacks or another 2.1 variant for battery life....
I have reformatted my sd after backing up to my pc... no dice
Is a possible remedy to try and flash back to stock di18? Or could that cause issues...? what about odin?

for anyone else who happens upon this problem, just flash back to a stock release with odin.
Fixed me right up!
Thanks for the tools devs!

While you can go the Odin route, a simpler method would be to go to CWM recovery, factory reset at least 3x, clear cache at least 3x, and instead of selecting "update.zip" choose "install zip from sd card" then navigate to the ROM you want. Since you are changing ROM's all together it is not an update.

i had the same exact problem couple days ago.. and fix it the same way as you hahaha.
One thing i dont understand though guys, yall said we can just install from zip where i do not see that option straight up.
All you see is reboot, apply sdcard update.zip, wipe data and wipe cache. How did yall directly go to install from zip? am i missing something?
Thanks!

I think everyone here is talking about the update.zip from the normal recovery.
For me i always have to hit apply update.zip in normal recovery to get to clockwork unless i use rom manager.

Sounds like you guys are talking about the stock recovery, not clockwork. To be clear, clockwork recovery is loaded by powering on the phone while holding the vol. down and camera buttons at the same time. If you are in the right recovery you will see the option you seek!
Sent from my Epic using XDA App.

thanks all for the replies. i was talking about the stock recovery...
Any time i want into clockwork i do the vol d+camera+power combination.
That take me to manual stock recovery where i load an update.zip to access clockwork....
Stock wouldnt let me load clockwork anymore... Odin fixed it but this raises another question for me....
Do i have clockwork set up correctly? Should the button combo take me straight to clockwork?
Sorry for being a noob guys and thanks for the help!

I'm out and about and can't link it but noobnl posted a redirect fix that let's quickboot and root manager take you straight to clockwork. It bypasses the stock recovery thus no need for the update.zip anymore. I think that's what you need...rom manager is supposed to work with it too I believe.

If you have the current version of cw then the three button boot should take you directly to it. Not sure what the problem is, maybe someone more experienced than me will know.

How do I get clockwork 2.5.1.2 back when I'm already in ext4? (solved)

So I have been on ext4 for a few days using quantum 2.5. Everything was working as expected there with clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.1.2 installed and available. This morning, I tried flashing the new midnight rom, but my file was corrupted so I went back to Mammon's Bonsai4All 1.0.4 with an ext4 kernel. Now, I can't get back into cwm 2.5.1.2. Bonsai4All should have a working recovery redirect, so I'm guessing I need to reinstall 2.5.1.2. The problem is, I can't flash the prepare.zip to ext4 with 2.5.1.0. So the question is, what do I need to push to the phone to get the modded recovery back? I have the prepare.zip and all other files from the onelickext4 1.3 and I'm not afraid of adb or using the terminal on my phone.

Boot into recovery. Goto advance. Select reboot recovery. That should bring you to v where you wanna be. If it don't then its time to odin

If you boot into CWM then go to advanced then reboot recovery that should put you in 2.5.1.2

The problem is, that when I reboot recovery, it brings me back to 2.5.1.0. I have a working phone right now, so I don't feel like using Odin again, yet.
It seems like there should be a way to get the correct recovery back on the phone with the terminal or adb. I've only been using android since October, so it is taking some work to learn how everything is done in the android world. Luckily, I went to school for programming on linux, but I'm a little rusty.

found this tidbit in an the ext4 thread over at ppcgeeks
Please note that until other ROMs add support (namely the new recovery binary in /system/bin/recoveryfiles) I cannot guarantee recovery will function properly

So I'm going to try pushing the recovery file from the prepare.zip and see if that works.
edit: It works! I'm getting errors from missing bitmap files, but that should be pretty simple to copy over as well.

Bonsai4All 1.0.4 does not support ext4. I'm surprised your phone even boots, which leads me to believe that you may still be rfs.

You could download the QuickBoot app from the Market. Selecting Recovery from within the app automatically boots the phone into Clockwork 2.5.1.2

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

You all misunderstand.
I can boot just fine. I was on Quantum 2.5 and switched to Bonsai4All 1.0.4, which was pre-ext4. I installed the ext4 kernel at the time of flashing, so the phone works.
No matter how I got into recovery after installing Bonsai4All, it went to 2.5.1.0. That includes using quickboot or reboot recovery from within recovery. And I can't flash anything with 2.5.1.0 since it won't flash to ext 4.
How I fixed it:
1. Remount as rw
2. Copy /system/bin/recoveryfiles/recovery and /system/bin/recoveryres/* from the prepare.zip to my phone.
3. Remount as ro
And voila! Now I can get into 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.1.2.

Check.to make sure you do indeed have ext4 working by using adb shell. I just don't see how the phone booted on bonsai if you have ext4 installed.

I too have epic experience 2.0.07 working with ext4. I actually have the same problem he's having so I'm gonna try his method. It boots up fine and and works but can't get into CW 2.5.1.2. Funny thing is I can still flash zip files through regular CW. Probably because they're not roms. I've checked through adb and and it says I'm using ext4. I can also tell the differance to. My quadrant score is like 1536. I know quadrant it ain't real world but the dev of midnight rom has a video in his blog showing the differance. I'm pretty close to what he got.

The new Dual Kernel maybe? It bridges the gap between the two file systems.

You can make other DK28 roms work with ext4 by flashing an ext4 compatible kernel after flashing the rom. If I had just tried to flash bonsai without an ext4 compatible kernel, it would freeze at the samsung screen and I would have to Odin out of it. I made that mistake once already when I stopped paying attention to what I was doing.

It says (solved) but I don't see the solution. guess that means I'm still an android n00b.
Stuck at SAMSUNG screen (Help!)
I had CWM3 and EXT4
I flashed Quantum Rom 2.7
tried to flash Nebula Rom 1.6 but it didn't take cuz of EXT4
I flashed ReRFS.Format.ROM.DK28-signed.zip to bring me back to RFS
reboot - hangs at SAMSUNG splash
reboot back into recovery, now 2.5.1.0
tried flashing Nebula Rom 1.6 - but reboot still hangs at SAMSUNG
tried flashing Quantum Rom 2.7 - but reboot still hangs at SAMSUNG
tried Odin, but I don't know what to do with Odin except flash the DK28 modem, so I did that, but it didn't help
so I'm basically trying a bunch of crap without knowing what I am doing, and as fun as this is - I'm kinda stuck - just going in circles

plus I keep seeing "E:can't open /cache/recovery/log" while in ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 - and when I do the Reboot Recovery as people have said to make it go to 2.5.1.2, it still just hangs at the SAMSUNG splash...

I found SPH-D700-DK28-8G-REL.tar.md5 and flashed that and now I'm back in business - **phew**

Clarification on how I solved my problem is below. I had a usable phone the entire time, I just didn't have the cwm I needed.
It almost sounds like a your problem is a kernel issue, except you have it with so many roms. There may have been an error in the file system conversion somewhere that is causing you trouble. You don't usually get the "E: can't do whatever" error if your cwm is compatible with your file system.
My suggestion to you would be to Odin back to a good image. You do it basically the same as doing the modem. Uncheck everything on the left. Put your .pit in the pit section. Put your .tar file (or .tar.md5) into the box that says pda (the first box). Then, plug your phone in and flash.
After that, you can run the one-click root and recovery to get root and cwm 2.5.1.0 back. Then you can start playing again. Remember, if you use ext4 then you must have an ext4 compatible kernel. If you use rfs, you must use an rfs compatible kernel. You can use any rom on ext4 if you flash an ext4 kernel immediately after you flash the rom and before you reboot the phone. If you forget to do the kernel, you will hang at the samsung screen. Some roms are ext4 or rfs only, and some have a dual file system kernel. Currently, you can mix and match any dk28 kernel with any dk28 rom. Don't try to mix kernels and roms from different builds, though.
Now for further clarification on how I got 2.5.1.2 back when using a rom that didn't have it baked in:
DiGi760 said:

1. Remount as rw
2. Copy /system/bin/recoveryfiles/recovery and /system/bin/recoveryres/* from the prepare.zip to my phone.
3. Remount as ro

I guess my solution was about as clear as mud. In order to do this, it helps to be somewhat comfortable using a command line.
I used the prepare.zip that was a part of the original ext4 conversion to get the recovery files. When you open the prepare.zip it has the standard flashable zip structure and is organized according to where the files are supposed to end up on your phone. Open the zip, open the system folder, open the bin folder and copy the folder named "recoveryres" to your sd card. Then open the "recoveryfiles" folder and copy a file named "recovery" to your card as well. Put these files somewhere easy to find, like a folder named "cwm" at the root of your card.
Next, use a terminal emulator to remount your phone to rw so you can write to the protected areas. Most of our roms included a small remount script, so all you have to do is type "remount rw" without the quotes. Later you will use "remount ro" to make things read only again.
Now, you're going to copy those files that you got from the prepare.zip to their proper places on your phone. You did leave them somewhere easy to find, right?
Copy "recovery" to /system/bin/recoveryfiles/ and copy the "recoveryres" folder to /system/bin/. You may have to watch and make sure it doesn't skip any files when copying the recoveryres folder.
After that, remount ro and you are done.

[Q] Continuum Kernal Issues - I think

So I got my continuum 3 weeks ago, first Droid phone. Decided to root, took me about 5 hours finally figured it out using SuperOneClick.
Wanted to check out some custom ROM's so I plugged my USB cable in and transfered the .zip file to my sd card and booted into cwr and tried to install the .zip from the sd card and rebooted, nothing was different or had changed. Did that a few times and realized that I hadn't wiped user data or cache or delvik so I did that all in the cwr and installed to .zip rom and rebooted.
This time when I rebooted a few things were different. All of my apps were in alphabetical order, the home screen was back to stock except for my background was one I had just installed. My contacts were gone (thank God I backed them up).
So I rebooted again.... hung at Samsung logo....
I had also put the Peanut Butter Jelly time kernal on my sd card out of luck I installed that and rebooted. This time everything was the same as my previous horror boot except all of my apps that were set to run on boot fc'ed and all of the other apps that I have are just icons. None of them open or they do and fc. Market will not open. My phone is a phone and a camera and the browser works.
I am very new to droid but learn quickly. I cannot post on the continuum dev threads because I am a noob. Hopefully one of the continuum devs will see this and know what to do to help.
Thanks a ton, I do not mind donating for help.

You said that you wiped user data?
That would remove all of your data, including your applications...
Your apps are toast, but your phone is not...
If you made a backup before you flashed (which you are supposed to xP) , then you can easily restore your apps then...
But if you didn't, then go back into recovery and do a full wipe... When you boot up, you should be back to the original state..
If not, then i am going to have to have you flash one of our rom zips... But i really dont think it'll come to that xP

Recovery
I made a backup and when I try to load it it says checking for md5 sums then gives me an error that it can't mount (unmount) the "/system".
So if I go back to recovery and wipe everything and reboot that should return me back to stock??
I don't care about the apps I dled I can always get those back but I can't even open market it fc everytime, no way to re-dl it.

1. what rom have you/are trying to install?
2. how are you installing the rom? you can't just go into cwr and click "apply sdcard:update.zip". you have to go to "install zip from sdcard", then go to "choose zip from sdcard", and then find the rom you put on your sdcard and select it. make sure you're flashing the rom file, not the cwr file because they are both named "update.zip". to make sure you're flashing the right file i would put cwr in the root of your sdcard and the rom file in some random folder.
3. did you install voodoo or novoodoo? and if you correctly installed either, the boot up video should be messed up when you turn on your phone. did you make sure the peanutbutta jelly time kernel was exclusively for the continuum, and you didn't accidently flash a kernel for some other phone?
4. if you truly did install the correct peanutbutta jelly time kernel, i would recommend flashing back to the original kernel (let me know if you need it). if you installed voodoo, you'll need to put a blank file in /sdcard/voodoo/ named "disable-lagfix"

1. I was trying to install the super clean
2. I was trying to install from zip on sd card then selecting the sc_cont.zip I believe it is called
3. I had both voodoo and no voodoo, with no voodoo I had no bootani's with voodoo it was the factory bootani but distorted.
4. I just tried the original kernal and system from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967165 and now my phone's bootani is stock stock but after the verizon screen my phone turns off.
So now my phone is bricked again. I tried going back to pbj (peanut butta jelly) voodoo kernal and the same distorted bootani comes up then the phone turns off. I can get into crm but that appears to be all I can do.
Is there a different place to get the stock kernal or is the link I posted the right one.
I would really like my phone back to stock and root again. But first things first... get it to boot to a phone.
Forgot something, when I attempt to boot into crm the lady comes on and says "Convert system partition, system is not available" Then it sits and the weird lines from voodoo and the bootani from voodoo. If i could get into "phone" I could create the file you are saying but the phone turns off after that. Back to boot like a loop.

Instead of creating a super large thread, how about you just hop into the IRC, and i will try my best... i have a couple ideas to try...

Thank you so much to trail blazer
Basically I had the wrong update.zip installed and couldnt even mount the usb to cpu to do anything about it. Luckily i had a msd to sd adapter and was able to switch out my update.zip to the correct cwm. Thank you so much blazer and imnuts!!! you guys are my heroes.

[Q] Superclean MS2

Hello all. Somewhat new to flashing ROM's but not rooting. I'm wanting to flash the SC MS2. I've got a good backup using the CWM without issue. But now kind of looking for straight-forward info on the ROM flash. I've looked at the SC MS2 thread from skynet11 and I'm not sure what Atlas is for so I'm hesitant to move on.
I'd like to think that since I've got my backup of the ROM and data/apps, I can just use three-button on the phone and flash from the SD.
Any suggestions/guidance is appreciated.
Cheers
Barry

What rom/kernel are you currently running? That will determine how you proceed with flashing SC MS2.

The Atlas file is for getting your phone back to stock and will come packaged with the stock rom - and you flash stock roms via Odin. Custom roms are flashed via cwm. Place .zip on SD card, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, and flash

Its on EH03 and kernel version is 2.6.35.7
How should I proceed? Wipe and then Flash with cwm? Or do I even need to wipe the data?
Thanks again for your help. Hopefully as I learn more I can contribute back as well.

Once you have CWM properly installed, download the Superclean MS2 .zip file into your SD card. (Make sure the .zip is OK, first).
Then go into CWM and wipe data/factory reset 1st. Then select "install zip from SD card". Then select "choose zip from SD card" and find the file. Select "Yes" to flash. I suggest you also wipe Dalvik Cache by going into the Advanced menu.
After everything is done, reboot, and if you want , you can flash a kernel like KBG.
Enjoy!

Thanks!
Although, What benefits are there to flashing the kernel?
Also, and sorry if I'm being a bother, but I "thought" I did a backup this morning and I'm looking at my SD card in the cwm->backup folder and I don't see the timestamp I thought I'd see from today - there's one there but from 2000-01-01 - is that one it?
Thanks so much!

Once last thing - the gapps.zip - how's that installed? Thanks

It's just flashed the same way as any .zip file, like the SuperClean.
Benefits of using KGB? Many... like being able to overclock and undervolt, back light notifications, and enabling Voodoo lag fix.
I haven't done that many CWM backups, because.. they are not that useful, IMHO. I don't have anything worth backing up in my phone anyway. (All my contacts are in Exchange) and your SD card contents are untouched. Plus, I can get all my apps back from Android Market in no time. If there are some specific apps (and its data) that you want to backup, I would use Titanium backup.

Perfection! Thanks so much!! now on SC without issue. Was a bit concerned when I didn't know how long it would take to wipe the data (seemed forever but in reality only a few mins), but flashed it, then the gapps and have restored the apps I wanted using Titanium. CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again very much!

Great thread, I am in the same situation: currently on SC3 M1 with KGB kernel and EH03 radio.
I want to flash to SC3 M2, keep the KGB kernel, and possibly try different radio. I just want to make sure I have my steps in the correct order:
1. Download SC3 M2 .zip to SD card
2. Download KGB .zip to SD card
2. Backup apps to SD card (with Ti or Astro)
4. Reboot into CWM recovery (red)
5. Wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache
6. Disable Voodoo Lagfix and /System lagfix???
7. Install SC3 M2 from ZIP
8. Boot up into SC3 M2
9. Reboot into CWM recovery
10. Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
11. Install KGB from ZIP
12. Boot into SC3 M2, then reboot back into CWM recovery
13. Enable voodoo lagfix and /system lagfix
14. Reboot
Am I correct about the points where I would disable lagfix?
At what point would I flash a different radio?
Thanks!

Radios can only be odined. I would use ec09. You can find the file in droidstyle's guide. He has a step by step write up for this.

If your already on SC M1 and the latest KGB, all you need to do is put the SC M2 zip on your SD card, wipe dalvik and install the SC M2 zip.. You don't need to reflash the kernel..

READY.

So EC09 radio will work with KGB_EH03_FA16 and SuperClean3 Milestone 2?
I am looking at droidstyle's guide now and it says the EC09 radio is compatible with any Fascinate ROM.
Will I need to re-flash my kernel or ROM after Odining the EC09 radio? I am planning to just follow the directions in section 7 here, so please stop me if there is anything different/additional I need to do!
Thanks!
