Corrupted Internal Storage

I flashed one of your PIT file but it seems there is a problem. But i will explain it later. Too long story.

My I9100 is running on CyanogenMod 12. But the /system partition is not enough to flash GApps Micro or Nano. So I decided to Flash back to Stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The leaked once. Then after that I flashed the CWM.tar and the PIT file and it shows Succes. Then I've notice that nothing was change I remember i flashed the 2GB or 3GB. Then after my phone rebooted it shows Blank storage or unsupported file system. And when i click it. It will ask to Format it. But i did'nt format it instead i flash the CyanogenMod ROM back and it looks like good but i see that it shows a message like

Detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p9.

But the installation is finished, when I reboot my phone It seems good, no problem. But when I install all of my games and apps. I've notice that my /storage/sdcard/ folder is missing... And can't install anything anymore. But when i reboot to recovery I go to the mounts and storage and i see that /cache and /storage/sdcard0 is mounted. I unmount it and it goes back to normal. But when I open any app like camera after capturing it says an error (iI can't rember what is it) and also to the other apps that writes the disks. So i decided to do a complete format (format /system, format/data, format anything and i saw that the last format button gives an error. That it says can't format /dev/block/mmcblk0p i forgot the number and i install stock 4.1.2 Leaked JellyBean again using the Simplistic Rom and then I see the message in the notification bar Blank Usb disk or Unsupported filesystem. And when i format it. It only repeats the message. And now. The internal storage is corrupted but i can open bootloader and recovery so i hope there is a fix with my problem.

Hi ,

Trying to do the partioning, I am beginner to Android so I am not sure of what is this PDA file is and can we use any version or is it specific to this partioning task ?

Can please anyone help me with that file, I have got the PIT file and the correct version of ODIN as well.

Thanks

Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you very very much.

This post has solved my looooong waiting problem of space.

I was always moving the apps using Link2SD but now its not required at all

as now I've partitioned my phone to 10 GB
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel_DG:
Total space decreased

Hi,

I tried this method of repartitioning before, following the instructions provided by some guy on youtube, but the end result was that my total space of 16 GB decreased by 4GB (the size of the pit file I used). I tried this method again today, following your instructions and the total space dropped further, to just 9 GB. I used a 4GB pit file this time too. So now, from a total of 16GB the OS sees only 9.5GB and the partition size for the OS and Apps never increased.

How can I regain the original space that was lost by repartitioning? I tried reclaiming the original space using the stock pit file, but to no avail. Nothing changed.

Please help!

Here's my contribution:

My custom PIT file suitable for I-9100 16GB version:

1GB - System

4GB - Data

9.5GB - Internal SD

8MB - Preload

*** Do not use this PIT if you are on stock. Modified Preload partition only works on custom ROMs. ***

100% tested and working on my I-9100 running CyanogenMod 11 (cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-i9100).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaasG:
Please can somebody help me. I created my own PIT file based off the 1GB_6GB PIT file using PIT magic (Attached). The internal storage (sdcard_0) is not mounted. When I try to format it in stock 4.1 the phone reboots. I tried to mount it from recovery but it fails. It doesn't show up on my PC. On CM 12.1 it shows up as a secure path and after setting a password it says path not found. I don't know what else I can do. Please help.

Little questions

Hi I want to flash the pit file on my S II, but, I don't want to flash the stock rom, I have been Reading that post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60376232&postcount=1100

This is exactly what I want to do, to instal CM12.1 after this... but I have some questions:

I have to "tick" (assign) re-partition option? or no, only click on PIT and chose the file?

After that, I chose my kernel in AP... And hit start....

When that finishes, Go to CWM Recovery, and just flash the rom, right?

My phone is still Rooted, right?

Sorry by my english :(

Can I use any one of files posted or should specifically use the pit files by metalgearathaway.

I am about to upgrade my phone with a Custom Rom, (but the ROM requires more space than i have at present).

so, I am happy to re-partition my phone, BUT, i dont know if I should do it Before or After flashing the ROM.

or: am I supposed to update the PIT file at the SAME TIME as Flashing the new Rom using the ODIN software ?

Guys, I need your help. An acquaintance tried to root his i9100, but failed. Recovery mode is not accessible only download mode. Both of us tried flashing the device via Odin, with stock firmware, but Odin stops at "NAND Write Started ... FAIL" stage, no matter the firmware used.

I've read that playing around with PIT files is dangerous and can lead to bricked phone, so I'm asking you to guide us through the procedure of reviving the phone, especially if it includes -as I suspect- using a pit file and re-partitioning. Links to working firmware would also be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I just want to know that do i need PDA file ???? "or" i need only PIT File ?????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'll assume you want to increase your /system partition as well as /data. Just follow the steps in this thread from [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION]. It is really easy to follow even if you haven't done much flashing before.

In short though, you will need the .pit file, plus a kernel/recovery in .tar format.

S2 GT-I9100 PIT File

I made a revised PIT file that increases the system partition to 2GB then splits the remainder to 6GB internal, 6GB internal SD. The reason to increase system partition is to make more room for gapps, e.g. http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347. Plus newer phones seem to be using 2GB.

However I can't upload files, but if anyone wants this (tested with 5.1.1 daily builds today) please send me PM.

I only saw a couple specs but the galaxy alpha finally has metal and looks amazing. I actually went to best buy and held it and it feels great. The only thing holding me back is how the battery life is not as good as the s5. Also the camera isn't as good and it's only 720p. Anyone thinking about switching. I really like the hardware but I don't know if it's worth it. I also thought about waiting for the Galaxy s6. I have really high hopes for it because I think it'll be a really high end phone with metal covering and amazing specs.

So I cracked the glass on my HTC Evo the other day and I already had a spare screen from a while back. After replacing the screen I turned it on and I saw the 4g logo for about 10 seconds and it shut off. I plugged it into the charger, in case it was a dead battery, and the charging led was on like normal. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and when I returned it was very hot and the led was off. It won't power on at all now and it just gets hot when I try to charge it.

Any help would be appreciated.
