Update done by Odin. Everything went OK.
Soon I realised that internal 128GB memory has gone.
I have no idea where to start
Reflash all ? Factory reset ?
EDIT: Reset to factory defaults did the job

Disk Dive mode on my One x no longer seems to work. I have tried a few different W7 computers and cables but I still cannot get access to the internal "sd" card data.
It did work when I first got it. I copied over all my old photos and music, videos etc ok.
Not sure if it was the OTA that killed it or maybe a rogue android app I have installed?
Has anyone else had issues like this? If I do a factory reset will I loose all the photos I have taken?
The phone originally came with 1.26 and was updated OTA to 1.28 about 5 days ago.
I hope it is not a hardware problem!
Update : I did a factory reset but disk Drive mode still does not work Anyone got any ideas?
Update : Fixed. By factory reset but only worked using factory reset option in bootloader menu. OTA must have corrupted something. I hope this is useful to others!
First off I want to say that I tried searching for this issue and what I found didn't seem to be exactly what was happening to me, if anyone knows of a thread about this please send me there so we don't bog the forum down with preexisting information .
T-Mo Samsung Galaxy S3 - (SGH-T999)
* Not Rooted
* No Custom ROM
I'll cut to the chase here. Phone started boot looping after restarting it this morning. Tried wiping the cache, didn't help. Tried pulling battery and waiting 5 min, didn't help. Removed the SIM card and pulled bat again, didn't help. Put SIM back in and removed SD card and pulled bat again, worked this time. I retried all the combinations again two more times each and got the same results so I am fairly confident the SD card or something on it is causing the issue. I tried a spare SD I had laying around and it gives me the same issue even after reformatting it. So now I'm wondering if something is wrong with the OS when it tries to mount/read the SD card. Anybody have this issue before or have any ideas? Any help is much appreciated!
P.S. I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if I can, but if I must, then I will do it.
Cant say ive seen this one before. But if you want to avoid the factory reset, try reflashing your current firmware build with Odin. Maybe try a slightly newer one as well.
You could also try flashing a custom recovery. Then try just wiping cache and dalvik. If needed, then try a factory reset. With a custom recovery installed it will not wipe your internal sd.
If none of this helps, use recovery to try and get important data off, then reflash stock firmware and factory reset again. Doing so with stock recovery actually formats the partition and will wipe internal sdcard. But it is the only way to completely clean everything up for more troubleshooting.
Hi,
First time poster here. So recently I rooted my HTC One M8 and now I cannot access my storage and everything is being stored on my SD Card and its only 4GB so I know it won't be able to stand much longer. I don't know the main reason for this problem and I could not find anything like this Google. I tried factory restoring quite a lot of times but it has not helped. If anyone is wondering this was the method I used to root my phone its the first option you get after googling: how to root HTC One m8.
Thanks!
You need to format your device in recovery mode and refresh rom. Reset to factory settings just clears system, cache and dalvik. Doing a format u will be asked to type 'yes'. After this flash the desired Rom. Hope this helps.
Hi! Is it possible to do a factory reset without deleting personal files in the internal storage? Like pictures? I'm practicing not using an SD card since the phone has ample storage. I'm just annoyed that everything gets deleted. XD
Hello.
When you do a factory reset, you generally only wipe data and cache. Not the internal storage nor the external SD-card, unless you choose to do it.
If you're not sure though, you can just copy your whole internal storage to your computer just to be safe.

Thanks for the input! I think all Zenfone 2 running at stock ROM doesn't have an option to retain or delete files. It just basically wipes everything in the internal storage. I already have it backed up. I'm just annoyed that the pictures are all messed up when I put them back to the phone after restore. I still go through root, File Timestamp app, then unroot, just to get the images organized. XD
Why do a factory reset if you are on stock? I have downloaded the stock rom from ASUS and dirty flashed it. That gave me the full rom back (I messed up and deleted things I should not have) and did not lose any data
Well, I usually do a factory reset after I update, or when I feel that something is not right (frequently). I resort to reflashing if factory reset doesn't do the job.

I've moved up several firmware versions on my ZF2 and in the end if I don't do a complete reset on the phone it has strange issues, doesn't matter if I wipe the Cache or even wipe my ass. the OTA update doesn't work right on a stock rom too well.

Agreed! I think I've already been doing the same thing on several smartphones I've owned. Firmware update = factory reset, or sometimes, flash + factory reset. On my previous phone, I wasn't too worried about picture time stamps and arrangement since they were stored on an SD card. But now that I'm using a 64GB, I was thinking of settling down on the internal storage, but sadly, there's no option to skip on wiping the personal files. I was thinking of fixing pictures via USB, but 5.x only supports MTP.

Now that I've had time to think about it, the 64 GB wasn't really needed in my case....but I wanted the 4 GB of ram. I store everything I care about on my SD card so resetting doesn't take all my ****. I'm still on the stock Rom because I want to make sure I don't have any hardware issues and need to send it back. I was still having a few issues even after the 165 update, so " once again " I wiped the bish and started over. seems to be better now, but I may just give in and root it with something Bare-Bone because I'm hating the way all the crap is loaded on this phone.

yup. pretty sure. factory reset only clear up system data. it will leave pictures and other data in internal memory intact since there are no option to wipe internal memory in stock recovery
I managed to reinstall the update using Odin
unfortunately, i didn't wait enough for it to load and i factory reset the device, too
it loaded after a while
success and failure
if you had the same problem wait a little more ...
How long did it take you to load MM 6.01? Mine kept flashing SAMSUNG at me for over an hour. I gave up and reflashed Lollipop. I haven't tried a reset yet.
an hour is to long. top to wait for 15 minutes

I have even waited for several hours in the OTA update.
fisrt and foremost backup everything!
then update using last version of Odin and this file:
http://dl.downloadrom.ir/samsung/T805_Germany_6.0.1_downloadrom.ir.zip
(it is official)
then wait for 15-30 mins
if it didnt load then do the factory reset. it will hopefully load in less than 15 mins.
I am using Dr.fone to restore my data. I hope it works

All my data was wiped. nothing remained. BTW I knew that you were incorrect. Thanks anyway
is there a safe way to root and unroot my device without voiding my licence ?
Samsung provide a solution to back up before upgrade. Its called Smartswitch mobile available on play.
Allows to backup everything to sd card and restore.
