External storage error

Hi. I was on a plane last night after the longest week ever on a trip.
I have a perfectly functioning nexus 10. I downloaded a flashable zip of clockwork touch recovery instead of the non touch one I was using.
Stupidly I flashed it and rebooted and ever since I get the gallery error of now external storage. Google play doesn't work either.
In setting the nexus knows I have 13gb available and I get no error messages when I boot into recovery.
A pain in the butt for sure and I am not sure how to undo my stupidity.

I tried reflashing. I tried fastboot -w. I tried a few other things but to no avail.
I'd prefer to just blast the entire partition structure and start over

I'll redo the boot loader tomorrow. Maybe flash the Ubuntu preview then back.
Thoughts?

So far no luck. I've relocked and unlocked. Changed recoveries. Installed ROM after ROM and still same error. I'm completely at a loss
Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try fix permissions in recovery?It's worth a shot.
I dunno why flashing any version of CWM would cause this though.
I did yes sir. I tried 100 million things. In the storage section of settongs the tablet knew it was a 16gb. But just wouldn't let it be mountable or usable.

Its almost like it doesn't know its partition size or where it is.

I am having the same issue, not able to access Google play or the internal storage even after reinstalling to factory image many times. Have you got it resolved from Samsung. Please update
Hi. Sorry for the delay.
Sadly I contacted Samsung about it and it was officially broken. Happily Samsung repaired it under warranty for me. It was the motherboard that died.

Partitioning S4

Is there a way to repartition the S4 so I have more available space in Cyanogenmod based ROMs?
I've used the search function and can't find a simple guide I can follow. If anyone can help I'll be grateful

Format internal sd

I did this with my s3 and it made everything fresh, install a new ROM and back to clean. Can I do the same with my s4? I went through cwm, format sdcard.

hehe everyone is still sleeping, yes you can do it, your recovery has the format INTERNAL SDCARD option, umm you are talking about the internal right?
Just make sure you are formatting the correct sdcard...be careful.
The Ax says good luck.
Yeah the internal. Will I have more space if I format then install like a cyanogen ROM or something? I have only 8 gigs on the 16 gig phone

That is not going to help gain the internal storage space sorry, I don't not care what you format your internal is going to see maybe 12 max, samsung has a hold on 4-5gig period, this is what you asking correct?
The Ax says, your welcome.
Correct. Even 12 is better than my 6 I have now.

You did good, you should be ok now. Happy flashing.
Anyway, what's up with this 5gb holdback? No fix or anything for this? I have an ext 16gb but can't figure out how to format it to work as a internal SD.

the locked bootloader stoppers us from re-partitioning the phone for more storage, and i agree its bullcrap sammy holds out SO much....even their stock odin ROM is less than 2 gigs....admittedly thats all compressed but still cmon man why advertise 16 and only give 9-12
I'm not really new to flashing/rooting etc, but still learning. Will the bootloader be able to be unlocked? Are all s4 bootloaders locked?

We don't even know if OP is on MF3. A suggestion like that could result in a brick.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he's on MF3 he has root, but no recovery, so he wouldn't be able to even flash a Rom to brick it

He could try to flash a recovery though to try to flash a rom and then he'd be sol.

Im on mdl and have a twrp from the motorchopper tool. Other than that im stock. Is there a tut on how to flash a tmobile stock rom to an att variant? I downloaded the rom already and was wanting to read into it more before flashing.

There is no way you checked out those links that quick. And if you did, you would have clearly seen the answer to your question. Take some responsibility for your device. I have told you EXACTLY where to look for what you need, it is up to you to take the time to read and learn about it.
I read the entire post there was hardly any mention of the i337 mainly the m919 it says flash your kernel but which is that since I am flashing a tmobile rom on a att phone using tmobile service.

Need EFS Backup Files for SM N9005

i have flashed the phone without backup of the efs partition ,now i am having no service ie no gsm network. can anyone provide me the files-
efs.img.ext4
nvrebuild1.bin
nvrebuild2.bin
I am in the same situation...
You guys can't use the Backup of another Device, it's unique 4 every Phone. You'll only get trouble by restoring another ones Backup.
Try it that way...

I think I have fallen in love... thank you very much really xD
Well, now my phone has IMEI and EFS so I can call and have data internet... But even with a format data and a completely reset by TWRP still have some ''issues'' like lag, camera does not work and the phone ''vibrates'' occasionally :S

Question, since this file was in the generic SGN3 Section, will this work with the T-mobile Version, Sm-N900t, running 4.4.2 (1st release).?
And second,
Can I flash it with Safestrap? Or Stock Recovery? (Rename or similar), or Must it be with CWM?
Thanks in advance.
Be well

So the file linked above, "Brick Loop fixed after restoring Backup" will ONLY, work with the N9005, Correct?
I have the N900T, same problem however.
Ideas, or similar files to flash that may help me solve my problem? (Imei Unknown / 00) I have the correct baseband. Running 4.4.2 / NB4
Thanks
