seems so many ppl having this problem, any fix for it or do we need to wait till JP3 to 'release' our sd card?

Have you guys tried to format the card inside the phone? unmount it then format (don't forget to do backup!)
Seems to work fine for me

we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there
I can write things by taking the card out of my phone and put it in pc and copy things over but when i connect my phone to pc i can't transfer anything across.

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.

Nope, the external card is still r/o when seen through USB storage in windows
tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.
There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.
i also have the same problem with the sd card :/
if I turn on USB storage on the phone I can only find the internal memory on the pc, where can i find the sd card?
or do we always need to remove the card from te phone and use adaptor in pc
pretty stupid for a phone that costs around 500€
On my PC it is viewed as 2 SDcards, one 5.5 Gig and one 2.0 Gig(my external)

on the phone this is corect
but if i connect to pc , then i turn on usb storage @ phone
first the phone says " sd card safe to remove"
then notting happens , I turn on usb storage again and then I see only the internal @ the phone , tryed many thing , always I only see the internal , because the phone always seems to safly remote the sdcard first ....
puth the wired thing is wen i conect the phone on pc I can see two cardreaders
first one , the internal memory of the phone
second most be the sd card , but because the phone "safe remove" it first , I cant access it ....
really wierd
I have the same issue here, davjan.
I hope LG will fix this in a next firmware update.
(that they'll find a way to treat both SD-cards in the same manner).
It is the normal behavior to safely unmount the external SD. It does that to provide the computer with 2 different mass storage devices.
Do you happen to have a linux computer nearby?
You could view in dmesg how the SDcards are viewed.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? Why some people are able to see both cards and some others not?

I have the same problem as well. When I turn on the USB storage the pc is "seeing" only the internal sd card. The pc (under my computer) shows 2 different hard drives. When I turn on the USB storage only one of them "turns on" with 5.5GB. There is a file within the internal sd card called External sd card but not sure if this is the "way" to add stuff into the external sd card... anyone?
sd card
you must format sd card in your phone before use. settings-->sd card-->format external sd card. Its solved my problem too.

Million thanks.. it did the job. i can now see both. thank you.
Experience CM10 like never before!!
Assuming u have the LG and Apx drivers installed then proceed with the installation.If not back off!!
I had only the stock froyo rom and i had found installing other roms kind of a pain i wanted the ultimate quick experience to crown this device with a great retirement(adding jellybean to it). Lets get started.
Downloads:
-Cwm special installation file. (u need external sd card for cwm to work)
-My Patched CM10.1 aka 4.2.2-
-gapps
What u need to to:
-put ur device in apx mode.(remove battery, then hold vol +&- for 4 secs then connect usb and dont let go until u notice device is linked to pc)
-go to cwm and run flash.bat.Wait till everything is done and it tells u "press any key to continue..."
-On reboot u should be stuck on CWM no matter what u do.
-Now move to mount and storage and mount usb storage.
-Transfer my patched file and gapps to ur device.
-Then install zip from sd card and then install my file and reboot.
-Boot should take abit long but it eventually boots and works flawlessly.
Issues:
- u need an sd card for cwm & rom to work very well or else ur phone wont be able to read ur memory and so wont store anything.
-After installation the internal SD card wont work so go into recovery and flash this file.(u need an external sd card as this will swap your external and internal storage)fixed with this
-The method above is usually reverted and as of now i've found now way to keep it stable to use external memory!!
-During call hang-up doesn't work.Go to accessibility in settings and choose "power button ends call" & "home button answers call" for the workaround to this.

1.) put my android su660 on
2.) go to camera pretending you have to take a picture (i see the word telling no internal sdcard)
3.) after that put my external sdcard on while on camera mode then
4.) then go to setting/storage click mount
i did that procedure but i still getting an error no luck on mounting my internal sd card..

Then just undo what u did by reversing what u changed.If internal storage doesnt work then cm10 doesnt work with ur internal storage so get an external one.(way cheaper than getting a new device):angel:Normally my tips in previous post should help.
hi, the changing of sdcard0 to sdcard1 worked for me but same as others my internal storage is not being detected funny i also tried to reverse but no good, good thing i have extra sd card lolx too bad we won't be able to use the 16gb internal storage... if there is any news for this please share thanks!
edit for follow-up: i tried to reinstall the rom you created but this time this is what i did,
1. put phone to apx then flash.bat
2. put phone to CWM mode
3. mount sd card
4. my computer detected the external sd card and the internal but it says format so i did format the internal
5. installed the rom and then gapps then when i try to mount emmc on CWM this time its working hehe
6. reboot phone then i checked the storage BOOM! there it is! internal and external detected! then only problem i have now is the camera app is missing lolx any help???

those are some known bugs and im not sure their fixes are out yet.But audio on calls works for me though!!
If you are rooted, just use Clocksync. It will automatically sync the time and date for you, so no more going back to 2007
hi there!
I managed to flashed CM10 with CWM 5.0.2.8e recovery. Problem is rom can't mount internal & external sdcards. while I can manually mount the internal sdcard in cwm to copy files, external is no way to be found in cwm. I already posted a reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772 but seems wkpark is such a busy person. Also flashed those 2 patch zip files (su660-emmc-fixer-default & switched) but to no avail.
Hope you can give me light on this. I love having JB on this phone (SU660). Just aching on this in/ex sdcards mounting problem.

Hi,
I'm having this issue where the SD phone memory is not shown on the computer when I connect my S1 to the computer.
When I check my phone's file manager, I see it has 3 folders:
1. SD card: 13.43GB -> this one is not shown, I want to see this as it has all my pics
2. EMMC: 1.81GB -> this one is seen on the computer
3. Internal storage
My computer shows the EMMC drive and an empty drive letter.
I have latest stable CM and I have a 16GB SGS 1.
Please advise...
Thx

Boot into recovery mode look for mounts and mount your sd card then plug your phone into the computer - it should come up then. If it does not mount then unmount the sd card (IMPORTANT) then mount the external card (remember to unmount the external card before unpluging from computer or rebooting your device. Hope this helps.

if you are in recovery try to mount the external sd card and see if your pictures are there they will be under a file called DCIM. Double click on DCIM and you should have your pictures. Remember to unmount before disconnecting from computer

Stock zv6 trying to get to zv9
I've read and searched so many posts and all seem to have copied the same post directions to flash an update.zip but none seem to explain the steps in much detail. The directions say to download the Ota zip and put it on an SD card that is formatted with the ext4 file structure. Then I am supposed to get into download mode and select install from SD. I have formatted a micro SD card to ext4 but the LG g4 does not mount it. I read in another thread that maybe there need to be 2 partitions but the directions don't say anything about that.
So I have the update.zip and an SD card formatted in ext4 but no way to get the zip onto the SD card or confidence that, when I get to download mode, the phone would even see the SD card. I can't drag and drop using a computer because the computer doesn't recognize the SD card and the phone like I said, won't mount it. What am I missing? The other directions use adb but I've not done that before. This is my first LG phone
Thank you for your help

Okay the first thing you should do is leave your phone on in normal mode as in when you normally plug it in like let it up boot up normally then connect it to your pc. If youu have a lock unlock it and then go to my computer then lg g4 would be on there. Double click it then drag and drop iit onto sd card. / After that you can disconnect and boot into recovery mode. To do that, power it down and then hold down the power and down button until the recovery mode shows up. Use the volume up and down to move across the selection and use the power button to select and select apply update from external sd card or something like that then you can select it from your sd card.
Does the SD card not need to be formatted as ext4? If the card is formatted ext4, the LG g4 doesn't mount the card and the computer doesn't see the SD card either. When I connect to the computer, all I see is internal storage. I have cards formatted as exfat which mount and I can use as normal with my pc but these directions specify ext4. I'm stuck at the ext4 formatted SD card not being mountable.

yeah, that works up until i try to find the fild on the SD card.... it won't mount the SD card in recovery mode.
The ex sd card will not mount for you to update in recovery if you look closely it says something like cannot mount E:/. You will have to use ADB and side load it.

thanks! FAT32 did the trick! (i think.... still upgrading, but looks good so far)
i did it! i loaded the OTA ZIP and got it to work.
oddly, all the native/LG ringtones and alert tones are gone. odd... i wonder how i get those back...
Guess I'll try to reformat to fat32... I wonder why these posts specify ext4 when it doesn't seem to work or other formats work.
Thanks for the help!
