No external storage available. - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I've installed KitKat on my LG Optimus L3, and I wanted to change it back to 4.0.4 ICS and when i've finished installing, i wanted to go to gallery and it gives me a message „No external storage available.“
I tried with soft reboot, formatting my sd card and nothing ... i went to settings>storage> and under INTERNAL STOGARE there is Mount SD card, i've pressed that and nothing again ... can you help me somehow ?
Thanks in advance.

I Guess this is a bug.
go back to the post were you find the rom and u'll see that this is a bug.
if you to go back to 4.0.4 go search for a stock rom then flash it with kdz now u done.

I don't know if there's kitkat for l3, they don't even have cm10!

[Q] My poor huawei u8800 update trying..

I was not using for 1 year, 3 days ago i tried to update it from 2.3.5. I searched some roms and could not decide which one was for me, only i wanted was long battery. I started to install aurora with cwm but now after boorting, it shows huawei logo and then going into black screen.
And everything was deleted. I had made circle battery, and partionaded sdcard and memory to increase memory card capacity.
Now, when i connect to pc, i cant see the driver info. I installed adb drivers but it gave errors.
I dont know what to do and which rom to update...
Please help me to solve this.
How do you update to Aurora?
Can you go to CWM recovery? And bootloader (pink screen)?
Did you format data,system, cache before udpdate to any custom rom?
btw you can boot on Aurora with partitioned disk but try with default partition just to be sure. My advice is downgrade to stock rom then root, change recovery and then update to any custom rom.

I made wipe data cache calvik and then flash zip from sd.
I can go cwm recovery.
I downloaded 2.3.5 stock rom, but there were not working links on Huawei site so i found a Portuguese 2.3.5. I ddid know if it is stock or not.
Doesn't matter if is stock rom you'll be fine. Can phone boot fine from stock rom? If yes download Aurora rom zip one more time and try again :good:.
Install Aurora v5 then u21 after that reboot. But i didn't know how it isn't booting try format that 3 things i said you can see that options on advanced menu.
btw did this happen with others stock roms?

I couldnot go into sdcard because pcgives error, doesnot accept drivers. What is u21?
Other roms worked well until aurora flashed.
While phone iwas on, i could make debuggin and so i could use sd card to copy. Now it is closed because i cant open it, despite i insatall adb drivers, i cant still access to sd card. i can see 2 partition in my computer but it deosnot let me go in. Why is that? How will i put 2.3.5 zip again to recover?

What rom do you have now? See if sd card is read on settings. If u want you can try re-download zip again.

Pcsays new hardware found, then i show huawei drivers to load but it doesnot accept and when i click on huawei partitions in my computer, it says insert a disk.
I cant see what rom i have. I cant open. I cant connect. I can only flash the aurora zip in sd card.
Do you have possibility to try your sd card on other device or maybe sd reader? Try to format if it's still not working try with another one.
I am convinced that you might have flashed the wrong zip. What is the name of the zip file that you have tried to flash?

There is your problem. You were supposed to flash aurora 5.0 experimental zip file first. After that you have to flash the update 20 zip file (without wiping).
So, have you tried going into cwm recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB storage. Then connect the phone to your computer

I didn't understand until now that you haven't got sd external card lol. You need to install aurora_v5 first and after that update20 or update 21.
But if you can boot to recovery you should connect to internal sd to pc and show as usb disk. Try that.

Yes, you have to make sure you have upgraded to official 2.3.5. After that, flash Aurora v5 Experimental. Then flash update 20 on top without wiping.
It would be easier if you get a MicroSD card Reader.

here is link for aurora v5 experimental:

By the way, if someone else you know have a smartphone, you can put your sdcard in their phone and use that to put the zip file on there.

SD card not found error [downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3]

It happens when you flash a 4.4.2 and then, you come back to 4.3. If you try to take a picture, an error say you that there is not sd card installed (wait, moto g doesn't have sd card!). Same thing if you try to download somerhing from the browser, or if you try to play a song or watch your pics. It's easy to solve, specially if you backups everyday your data! I solved in this way:
Flash stock firmware (downloaded from motorola's site, extrated and flashed into the phone with the .bat inside the archive)
Reboot
Make a reset from setting
Install a custom ROM if you want
Done
Maybe there is another easiest way to solve the problem, but i've tried just this one. Hope to help someone
Thanks trying this

[Q] phone does not turn on. it goes directly to cwm recovery mode

Good day,
I am having problem with my lg optimus l3 e400. I just rooted it the other day to solve the memory problems of the phone. It has been working fine until today. What happened was, it just turned off and whenever i turn it on, it goes directly to cwm recovery, which has been installed during the root process thru ROM manager app. I also found out that the SD card is corrupted. I had to format the SD card and tried pasting stock ROM's but it still doesn't boot and still goes to recoovery everytime I turn it on. I tried to format the device, the cache, and the other format options in recovery mode but the issue is still not solved. Can anyone please help? And if possible, give me a step by step guide because I'm kinda new at this. Thanks.

If you highlight the reboot option and then press the power key what happens?Does the phone reboot?If not somethings gone wrong...Anyway try flashing another custom ROM(cyanoid,for example @linuxxx)Does CWM recovery mount the SD card?Did you flash SD merge and you aren't using a SD merge compatible kernel?Anyway you can't flash stock roms from the phone.You must use the good old KDZ(How many times did he save me....)

Can you guys give me a link? i'm having a hard time looking for stock roms and i don't even know how to distinguish stock rom and custom rom. the sd card that was working before the happened got corrupted but after inserting it to another phone and formatting the sd card, it seems to be working and the sd card can be mounted. i'm not sure with the sd merge compatiility with the kernel but it worked for a few days so i think it is compatible. the phone does not reboot. whenever i reboot it or turn it on, it just goes to recovery mode. thanks.
