S3 On CM 14.1: Made SD Internal Storage, Reversed, Now “Empty” Internal Shared Storage On PC

Question

I have a Galaxy S3 on CM 14.1 (Android 7.1.1). I formatted the SD Card as internal storage. Then I couldn't access my internal storage from my PC, so I switched back. I formatted the SD Card to portable storage.

Now, my internal storage (now listed as "internal shared storage") is "empty" when I connect it to my PC. I've tried:

• wiping data, cache, and reinstalling CM 14.1
• taking out my SD Card
• reconnecting to PC as PTP, etc.
• using another USB cable, port, etc.
• restarting multiple times

Nothing seems to work. What can I do?

Answer 1

I fixed it by doing the following on Clockworkmod Recovery:

• Clearing all caches (go to mount/unmount --> clear all caches (system, etc.))
• Unmounting, then mounting everything (System, SD Card, Media, etc.)
• Format SD Card (from CWM). (then I had to restart to connect SD Card with CM 14.1 zip file).
• Reinstalling CM 14.1

Now I finally have the internal storage and portable SD Card formatted correctly.
