Hey guys,
to make the i9003 from a friend working I had to remove internal storage from board and installed the system on the external sd by force (there is no storage anymore except this).
Now, I have the problem that the 2GB which were used for the system (the partition which was created by installing stock ROM) aren't available at all.
When I connect the sdcard via adapter to the pc there is shown 27GB - before that there were 29GB.
I tried some partition tools but they all show nothing.
Can anyone help, please?

Hi there,
I've flashed SDMergE400 and it has been working good on my L3 E400 CM9.
But if my externel SD card becomes malfuntional, i.e. the phone can't read the externel SD card, as the system data is saved there, will the phone not be able to boot up?
One more question: when I wipe data and dalvic cache, will it wipe out all my data and saved files in the external SD card?
Thx for any reply.
Re
Your external sd card is taken as the internal memory while the internal(actual internal) is merged with ur system rom , if ur sd card is malfunctioned ur phone will boot but the apps which are moved to ur sd card will not work properly, and if u clean ur data the sd card is untouched while ur system is cleaned ( which after installing sdmerge is system rom + internal sd )
Let me be clear now ur internal memory is ur actual external sd card and ur system memory is actual (system memory + internal memory) Hope i helped you if anything more u can ask and i will help you out
thx for the reply.
I'm just confused coz before I applied sdmerge, the internal memory was read as disc F while the external one as G when I connect the phone to PC. But after sdmerge, I hv only disc F which shows my external SD card contents while disc G has nth. The icon disc G is still there but the color is paler n it shows to insert disc G when I click on it.
Also I can see folders like 'Android' in the external SD card root. Isn't it a system folder? if yes, then why it appears there in the external card?
thx for reading n reply n I know that's a lot.
SDMergE doesn't do anything to your EXTERNAL card. It simply merges system memory and the INTERNAL memory into one.
There's nothing important in the Android folder on your external SDcard, probably just some app data you moved to the SDcard, nothing else. Check what's inside. If it's empty, just delete the folder.
Go to settings> storage and use the left soft key and then select usb mass storage rather than media device then u'll not get that greyed g drive....... and the android folder in ur external sd card has data of apps you moved

Hello,
Will try to explain the situation to my best possible knowledge :
1. Was running Crash ROM 4.4.2 on Galaxy S4 i9500 , have got all the required apps installed and configured the way I wanted.
2. Running the stock kernel which comes with the Crash ROM installation.
3. Running Phillz touch recovery 6.3.xx
4. Have external micro sd card (16GB UHC SanDisk) . Crated 1st primary partition as FAT32 and 2nd primary as Ext3 for moving apps.
5. Did install Link2SD and correctly moved all apps linked to the 2nd external SD card partition.
6. Was able to connect a USB flash drive via female USB connector (host mode) and take titanium backup of all apps.
7. Everything mounted correctly and automatically, with correct permissions to read/write without me worrying or fixing any setting or changing anything.
Since I had everything in order, I thought of making a nandroid backup via Phillz recovery . The problem when I tried taking a nandroid baclup which presents custom backup option to either "/sdcard" or "/storage/sdcard1 (which i assume refers to external microSD card".
I tried taking a backup at both locations and was informed that I am short of space , the backup needed 4+GB whereas I had 2+GB on internal SD and 3+ GB on external microSD available.
So i thought to reboot and try making some space anywhere, thats when the nightmare started.
After reboot, now there was
1. A message for low space remaining
2. Google play store continually crashing and giving a "stopped" message.
I fixed the error no. 2 temporarily by uninstalling google play store (updates, cache and then the app itself).
However error no.1 persists, now when try running any app to see what and how much space is left in the internal and external SD cards, it seems that the internal SD card is not mounted somehow.
I have tried runnning ES explorer and it says no SD card found. Even though I can browse to the root partition. Then I tried Link2SD (which has an option of seeing storage info nicely) and I can that the bar for SD card is blank and all other places or mount points are mounted.
Even the apps residing on my external microSD 2nd partition are working fine, however I noticed that earlier the external microSD card, when seen from inside a booted and loaded ROM was mounted at the location " /storage/extSDcard , but now it is mounted at "/mnt/media_rw/extSDcard"
But my internal SD card is vanished, I cannot find any contents of the "internal SD" in any of the locations at /storage , /storage/emulated/legacy, /storage/emulated/0, /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, /mnt/obb and possibly any other location I can think of.
I believe the mount points and logical links are different as seen by the phillz recovery (as there is no /storage/sdcard1 when seen from Es explorer) , and as seen when the ROM is fully booted and loaded, so when trying to take a nandroid backup via Phillz recovery, it might have messed up with the mount points and/or permissions.
I hate doing a complete re-flash of the ROM again and spending hours to get all the apps customized my desired way, with all widget settings.
I am not an expert or pro at android, hence I request your help to sort out the issue, and maybe send or guide me the default way the S4 handles mount points, so I can get back the SD card and also guide me how to make a the nandroid backup to avoid this fiasco again.
Thanks for reading.
I installed App2SD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en) on my head unit in hopes to create symlinks between my internal and external storage to free up my internal storage to install more apps. In process of doing so it needed to partition my external SD card. I selected FAT32 & ext2. After it rebooted I found that my SDCard, USB Flash Drives, and External SD card were no longer mounted. Infact they dont even appear at all in ES File explorer as if they didnt exist. Looking in storage, I do not get an option to format my SD card or USB drives. I took them to my PC and confirmed they are still FAT32. I reformatted my Micro SD Card from my PC and although it was successful it did not bring any of my external devices back.
I cannot mount the SD card.
Errors Im getting
The above is the original mounting point of my External SD Card, taken from External 2 Internal - it is no longer mounting and External 2 Internal no longer even sees it when I scan for additional devices.
This is what appears to be currently mounted.
Additional troubleshooting I took.
If anyone could help I really need it because I cannot reinstall redmod without the device being able to read the external SD card, I also cannot listen to any of my music or access any of my apps that were moved to the SD Card. Also can anyone show me how to properly create symlinks using that app without losing all my mounts?
I am using Xolo Q700s Cynogenmod Lollipop
I installed Cynogenmod 12.1 V3 stable. In that they had made inbuilt feature that External SD CARD is loaded as internal memory i.e SDCARD0. I want to chnage that because as I don't have any SD Card I cannot operate my phone. eg xender says sd card disabled and don't open. bluetooth says : transfer unsuccessful as sd card not found to save files. Cannot save books or data from app as download fails as my phone has no external sd card.
I tried changing fstab file but when i reboot the phone it gets back to default settings. I searched a lot but cannot find way to transfer internal sd card from external to internal memory. I can't understand how to change this setting in cynogenmod
Pls Help.
if possible reply at [email protected].
Edit 1 : When I checked fstab file in /system folder, the command was written as in last 2nd line: sdcard1:8 non-removable. What this is.
Pls help me, I cannot use my phone, cannot install and run apps and my phone is of no use to me.
