no ext sd on pc - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had ext sd issues with aokp 33. Could be the reason for simply aokp v2.2 problem.

You aren't going to have a sd-ext on ICS. You can find it under /emmc

i think he meant when connects to PC and USB mode is switched on that his PC doesnt detect the ext sd card. i have the same prob with AOKP where i can only see the internal sd on my PC while im on CM9 i can access both

On aokp one can't access the ext sd on PC without multi mount.... Find it at the market.
Phoned in.....

sd card not recognized after running cm7 in sd card

hi everyone! I'm currently running cm7 on sd card, but my problem is, my sd card isn't recognized by my pc. when i plug the cable in, the pc (windows 7 os) only recognizes the internal memory. Do you have any idea why it does this? Does it have anything to do with my brother doing the cm7 install in a mac?
Another thing, can we update the version of cm7 even if it's on the sd card? if so, how?
thanks!
Windows doesn't see your microsd card because it can not recognize the file system.
Even Paragon Partition Manager and Easeus Partition Manager don't recognize the file system. However if you have Linux installed (ubuntu, Mandrova) you should be able to see whats on the card. And you should be able to resize partitions using Gparted.

[Q] SOLVED: Connecting with USB shows only internal memorycard...

HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.

Strange Sd card problem

Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,
after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.
The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.
When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.
Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.
Also i can Copy and paste like normal.
When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.
Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...
Does someone know what this could be?
Thnx in advance,
Henk
what sd card do you have? did you try format it?
It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.
I install the roms via this sdcard.
I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.
there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.
In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.
I checked mini cm shakira,
herodroid
gx stock
prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.
Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.
(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )
In''storage settings it always say:
-total space
unavailable
-Available space
unavailable
-mount Sd card
Insert a sd card for mounting
-erase Sd card
erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.
(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)
I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.
It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.
(Both in windows7 and windows xp)
Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.
(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,
since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.
All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.
With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',
which is my sd card.
After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.
Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.
Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?
I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.
you're using 2nd ext partition?
if yes, trying to solve it and boot via cwm and format it using partition sdcard (advance > partition sdcard) you need to backup your data first
if not using 2nd ext partition, try format using this http://hard-disk-low-level-format-tool.software.informer.com/ but i'm not test it yet
maybe u must check and repair your sdcard
1. try with another sdcard
2. make sure if your sdcard format is FAT
or
3. backup your sdcard data to your pc, then format it!
it must be work
Your idea doesnt work

Maybe the ROM doesnt have the necessary drivers. Any idea on how to install them?
Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with froyopro's disk checker.(same file in froyopro rom)
Yes,this is the file which scan & fix ur sdcard For errors in startup.
This must help u.

[Q] External Storage not detected on.

Hello Everyone. I'm in need of help here. I have been searching the forum for 5hours to solve my problem, sadly, none has worked.
I can see my external storage on setting>storage but somehow I cannot access it using file explorer. The external_sd directory are visible using ES file explorer but sadly, I cannot move file into it. I had formatted it into ntfs but failed, then back to fat32 but both are not working. When connected to PC via USB cable the PC cannot detect the SD card. The card are working well in my other phone.
My device: Galaxy Note N7000
Rom: [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.2][JZO54K] SuperNexus - N7000 - BUILD 5 [17-10-12]
Kernel: MaxFu HydraCore v7.5 STD
Sorry for my bad english.
check in /storage/sdcard0 for internal SD. format this using the settings on the phone itself and check. try mounting the phone as mass storage mode

I cannot mount it as the option to mount it been 'greyed out'..btw, i have no problem with internal SD card. only with external SD card. Thank you.
Do a nandroid backup of the current rom and try installing an ICS rom and check if the external sd is ok. Many JB has issues with external SD if not flas d correctly.
If ok on ics. Do a clean install if the rom again and then you can restore your data later

Thanks man. It works. But it seems that the card transfer rate are a bit slow. is it have something to do with rom or kernel?
In mtp mode, it could be slow. Try in mass storage mode.
If you still want Jelly Bean, you may try SVA rom, mass storage works fine on both internal and external SD card.:good:

Mount SD Card Grayed Out

I have tried and flashed many different TW ROMs in the past and decided to try out some of the AOSP and CM10.1 ROMs. With PA 3+, Asylum and Revolt, all of these ROMs will not allow me to mount the SD Card, when I go into settings, the 'Mount SD Card' option is grayed out. But if I use a file manager with root access, I am able to access all of the files on my SD Card in Storage/SDcard1. So I know there is nothing wrong with the SD card itself as I can browse to it and use it. But I just can't mount it so I can use it as a UMS. So here is what I have tried so far and in all honesty, I am out of ideas.
- Format sd card (FAT32)
- Partition sd card with minitools and tried via CWM
- Tried a different sd card (tried a 8gb sandisk)
- Tried it on different roms, it works perfectly fine on a TW ROM.
- Tried using the app USB Mass Storage, USB Switcher and paid for Stickmount Pro (still does not allow me to mount)
When I tried using USB Mass Storage, I get an error message that says "No partition found", however, I know it is definitely partitioned properly.
So anyone has any ideas that I have not through up of yet?
I have the same issue. Have used the latest stable Asylum and Slim Bean ROMs and nightly kernels.
