New to XDA. Tried searching the forums if similar issue has been asked before but seems that none is quite similar to my situation.

Mine Atrix was HK 2.3.4 stock rom. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed epinter's CM10. The custom rom works well so far.
But the major problem is that whenever I use apps that require external storage, such as Photo Gallery and Play Music,
or try to save/restore backup of apps in the sd card, these apps pop up a message "no external storage available" and force close.

I tried to flash back to the 2.3.4 stock rom and the sd card works fine with my phone.
Then I once again flashed CM10, the above problem occurs one again.

With CM10, when I connect the phone with my computer through USB cable, I can only access to the sd card but not the internal storage.
I installed ASTRO and I can explore the files on sd card (/storage/sdcard1), but since I can't access to internal storage on computer,
I have no idea which directory I should look for in ASTRO as the internal storage.

When it was 2.3.4 stock rom, the above problems never happened. Could anyone advise me the solution?

/storage/sdcard0 ->Internal
/storage/sdcard1 -> External

Did you do a clean install (full-wipe)? Check on CM10 Settings -> Storage [Use external storage]

Hi
As far as I know, you must enter in advanced option and here activate the external SD card.

This has already been done before.

[Update]After a reboot, the phone finally can detect the sd card, but the internal storage is still absent from the file explorer (ASTRO) or the computer through USB. So weird?

re partitioning

You're not alone I'm having he same problem with external sdcard. Maybe there's no solution for now
hello guys hope this can help

I flashed cm10 epinter for atrix olympus hk version. I had the same problem of disappearing internal storage, even in recovery the emmc cannot mount. After digging for weeks i finally found this that saved me. Basically it is just deleting the old partition , remake it and then format. Instruction is simple just a few lines. Just need to be careful.

Now both internal and external storage are OK and both show in usb mode connecting to computer. Hope it works for you and not too late.
