Cannot format Internal SD Card on Samsung S2 running Cyanogenmod CM13

Written by

You receive the following error when trying to format your Samsung S2 Internal SD drive in Cyanogenmod CM13 (Android 6.0.1):

Command ’33 volume partition disk:
179_0 public’ failed with ‘400 33
Command failed’

command failed

Possible Causes

  • Corrupt PIT
  • The kernel/Bootloader was not IsoRec compatible
  • Corrupt partition format
  • The ROM is faulty

Solution (does not work)

After I had updated the bootloader/Recovery with TWRP 3.0 and performed a REPIT The drive seems to work ok. This basic will fix any of the errors outlined above. Obviously unless you need to re-partition you Samsung I would just try updating the Bootloader/Kernel/Recovery first.

I still cannot reformat the drive in CM13

Notes

This could just be a bug in the current revision of CM13.x so another excellent solution is to see if updating to the latest verion of CM13 works.
