wipe internal storage

I have decided to wipe the internal storage because I have the dreaded Miscellaneous Storage problem, and have been unable to find the culprit file or folder. :silly:

I have seen the "Mounts and storage" section in the CWM recovery, how do I do the internal storage wipe??
And here's the stupid question: won't that also delete the CWM recovery????


Thanks!

Recognize redmi 1s as storage device.

Hello friends.I wanna know whether we can use our device as a storage device instead of media device.Whenever we connect our phone to PC it recognizes it as media device(ipod like symbol).Is there any way we can convert it to a drive like we see when we connect a pendrive or any storage device. Because whenever I connect my device to my TV. It only shows photo option and no song and video option.so??? Can we use ums (USB mass storage ) instead of mtp
Help me.

My Windows 10 doesn't detect any phone mass storage

Hi... Since the time I upgraded my Laptop to Windows 10 its unable to detect the mass storage for any phone. USB Pendrives are working perfect but the phone storage is not showing up.

My phone is HTC One X and Redmi Note 4G. I tried several other phones as well.

How to set SD card as default storage?

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot figure out how to make the external SD card the default storage. Be it for downloads or data from apps, it's all saved on the internal one and I can't see a way to change it. Most answers I found on google are suggesting to change it in the settings (storage --> make SD card primary storage, which is not available) or in the aosp browser (not available either). :eek:

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Can't access Phone Storage

Hi, Im new here, hope I couls get my problem solved.

I have a Lenovo A369I phone. Sitting at 4.2.2 and updated to the latest version for my phone. Now my problem lies on my Phone Storage. I cant access it on my phone and It says on Settings>Storage>Phone Storage: "Mount Storage"

Even if I try pushing "Mount Storage" it will not work and say "Phone Storage Safe to Remove"

What have I done that caused it:
Used my Phone's internal storage as a bootable usb on my pc and is prolly the reason.

What I did to try to fix it:
Reformatted it to its original state and copied my backup(which is now gone, cause my phone got stolen)
Tried using different file formats
Checked and tried to wipe on TWRP but errors such as "cant mount emmc, blah blah blah"

Havent tried:
Restore factory settings and Im afraid to do it doesnt guarantee to work

Trivias:
I can still access my Phone storage on pc and can still copy and put data and works fine but cant use it on phone.
I cant update/download apps cause my microsd is gone(im only borrowing and cant buy one atm)
Need help, this is my last phone available and have yet to buy a new one. Thanks

Storage Size Discussion

I'm confused as to why anyone would need more than 32gb.... What do you use all that storage for?

All of my data (basically) is in the cloud (Google music, Google photos, etc...).

Titanium backup, ROMs, lots of apps, etc... Should still all fit on 32gb, no?

I do get why iPhones need all that storage....

Should I root my MOTO G 2015? To get more storage?

Hello everyone! I didn't want to root my new MOTO G 2015 but I need more storage if I want to install more app's, I saw with root permissions we can transfer full sized app's to the sd, is it true? and how? I've seen already a guide how to root moto g 2015, but know I want to know how to transfer full sized app's to the SD and then i'll decide if I want to root or not.

Do you think I should root? It will be better If i want more storage?
Is it safe? The Lollipop will be automatically installed after the root? I have no need on install other Android OS.

Thank you!

Fingerprint data storage

I've been googling around and haven't found an answer on how the fingerprint data is stored on the phones and is it safe regardless of device encryption?

The S5 implementation of the data was horrible and Samsung is not to concerned it seems. At least Apple clearly outlines how and where the data is stored.

Any one know? I really want to start using the fingerprint on my s6

storage space

Hi people,

Well. Without the possibility to move apps to the sd card i am trying to find other ways to make the most of my 128 gb so that i can make the system rom as light and spacey as i can.

I'm rooted and using a custom kernel at the moment. Bloatware not useful to me is being removed but still there's little improvement on the system rom space where i now have 599 mb free space left. In my noobish mind more space is a faster phone but maybe i'm wrong.... since i had phones the lack of space on the system rom always bothered me.

So maybe there are more ways to get the space free on the system rom? Somebody there in s6 world that knows something and can help? Or must i not be bothered of the system rom space?

Would appreciate it!

Thanks

[Q] Lenovo K3 Note - Internal Storage 0MB

Hello,
First of all, my english isn't very good.
Ok, I have a huge problem with my lenovo k3 note, I was listening to music yesterday and suddenly it stopped. I tried to unlock, restart itp but nothing. Finally I took off the battery and they restarted the phone, it stopped on Lenovo bootloader, so again battery, restart and this time I went to TWRP recovery. I wanted to restore one of my backups, but there is no backups, internal storage is 0mb, I can't do factory reset, I can't install any zip, nothing. Windows 10 sees just external SD card, no intenal memory.
Entering TWRP makes errors in console like this:
E: Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/protect_f'
E: Unable to mount '/protect_s'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E: Unable to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.

and some more "unable to mount /data".

So I tried to flash original rom with sp flash tool, but on my last rom (MIUI 7 custom) I didn't enable USB debbuging. Every stable ROM or flash tool version I try, every time and the end there is BROM ERROR: S_CHCKSUM_ERROR (1041) and if I boot my phone after such flash it stops on bootloader and in TWRP still internal storage 0mb. I've tried do sth with adb but it doesn't detect my phone, flash tool works though.

I don't know what to do, please guys help me! It's my first android phone and rooting a phone and recovery was a challenge (just installing roms from twrp is very easy) and I really need your help, so please help me.

Thanks in advance and have a good day!

Stuck in boot loop after insufficient space on internal storage

Hey guys, I need some help.
My beloved phone got too full the other night and ended up in a coma. Now she..I mean it, wont wake up anymore. I can only get her to open her eyes enough for a couple of blinks, but never really to a conscious state. I'm certainly not willing to let her go and want to keep her from loosing all the good memories we had together... Please help me safe her!...

Enough storytelling...

I've got the Samsung GT-I9252 (Galaxy S4 Active), which is not rooted. Recently I updated to Lollipop which worked fine without any issues.
As I am a usual data horder, I quickly ran out of space (yes, both on the SD card and the internal memory), so that I constantly saw the warning in the status bar that the phone ran out of memory. As I wasn't near a computer I could use for a while to move some files, I continued using it as normal. Because of the lack of memory, the google play store would not install any updates, which was totally fine. However, the Samsung app-store-thing seemed to care a bit less about it and tried to force to download and install what it thought to be "important updates", like for example "text-to-speach" (I haven't even figured out how to use that feature)... Even though there would not be enough space. And I couldn'd really do anything to stop it. The phone started to get slower and I wasn't even able to take pictures anymore (still not around a computer to tranfer data). So the other day I wanted to restart the phone (as I had done a couple of times since the message of lack of space) and it would just not boot up anymore.

It is stuck at the Samsung logo.
My first thought was, well I simply plug it into a computer and transfer some data to make some space and then it would boot up again, but I had to find out that you do not simply plug your phone into a computer and access its data if it refuses to boot...

So I read about the safe mode and tried to find it without any luck (either I'm too stupid to activate it or it got removed). Next I tried to sweep the cache partition, as I managed to get into the recovery boot. It got deleted, but the phone would still not boot.
I definitley want to avoid a factory reset for various reasons!

Then I read about some ways to push/pull data from your phone with a computer, when in recovery mode (with ADB if I recall correctly)... But that's kind of as far as I got.

Now I'm asking for your help and expertise.
Do you think it would be possible to transfer and/or delete some files and if that would solve the problem and lets the phone boot up again; and if yes, how should I approach? Or do you think the cause for the problem lies somewhere completely different?

Thank you so much in advance!

Mass storage mode on galaxy note 3 help please!!

Hi guys! First of all I would like to thank you for your time. I would gladly appreciate any help as I am fairly new to rooting but I am eager to learn. So I attempted to root my note 3 last night and after a couple of hiccups I was finally able to succeed. Now I primarily rooted my phone to go ahead and try to use mass storage mode from my microSD. I download a good amount of movies via torrent whenever something good comes up. Now files usually range between 500 megas up to 2 or 3 gigs. And transfers to a flash drive on mtp take ages. So my question is how can I activate mass storage mode on my phone? I used odin3 v1.85 on my SM-900T note 3. I went ahead and did an nandroid backup and I unzipped this custom kernel in recovery mode ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2480353 ). What do I do next guys? Thanks again for any input.
