My phone does not detect External SD card after update to Cyanogen 7.1.
When I click on the card from within Internal SD card it shows empty.
pls help!
thx
Look for the card in /mnt/emmc
its there and not under EXT_sd
why has this changed and how can i make it work with es file manager which is better?
have the same issue on a SGS2. it don't see my 16Gig SD card in es-file explorer.
When i connect to my PC via usb and turn on USB storage both the 16Gig and 11gig storage locations are accessible. but on the device i have to use File Manger and navigate to /mnt/emmc to view the files.
This sux what is going? is this normal or have i installed something wrong?

As said previously, you still need to look under /mnt/emmc in ES file manager
CM7.1 is Android, not Samsung.

yeah, and to do that you need to change the mount point in settings to /
I started custom ROM from CM9, everything went fine except that in CWM it won't detect my external SD.

that's normal for CM9 (i had the same problem, don't worry your sdcard is fine) just install "Rescan SD Card!" from the playstore or anorher file manager. it only happens the first time you flash CM9.
Hello. I'm using miui which I think is based off AOSP ICS.
The problem is when connected through usb, the storage drives don't show up on PC side. I've tried sd card mount app, but without success.
Please help me and tell me how I can get this done so I can move files back and through the usb cable.
THANK YOUUUUUUU
Use Droid Explorer.
Installed Droid Explorer for pc, and installed it with Android SDK, mounted sd cards using app, and managed to get droid explorer to recognize the sd cards.
But the interface is kinda of weird, and I can't copy over or make a new folder within droid explorer. The only thing I can do is copy over individual files, and then make a folder using my Phone's explorer then putting them into the folder.
Is this the only way to transfer files to my phone besides using wifi trasnfer or taking the external sd card out of the phone? isn't there a way to just get the pc to recognize the phone's sd card and just use the windows explorer? (is this due to the AOSP ROM?)
EDIT: FOUND EASY FIX. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1556367

Hey
I just flashed paranoid android last night and for some odd reason I cannot locate none of of my files on my ex SD card. I was told in cm9 they change the pathway to emn or something like that but that's no where to be found? I never formatted a thing when I flashed the from so very weird that its vanished. Under storage I see SD card down below and it says Mount SD card so but you can't click on it or anything so what has happened.
When I tried to do restore with TB it could not find my folder as it was installed on ex SD. Now in storage it shows USB storage right at the bottom and this is where my ex SD should be i imagine but underneath this is says mount SD card!
Any help would be great.
Thanx
I dont know about your issue with TB, but you can find your files using Astro File Manager.
Open Astro, click "Up" and mount emmc insted of SDcard.
Hope it helps.

I used to use astro and I now can see my SD card as u said....do u know if this is just a issue with cm9 as I liked using es exploror...
Is it best to just use astro as es is a root exploror.

It's not an issue, CM mounts SD card as emmc only. you can disable root access option in ES and it will then just act as file explorer

iam confused jeetu! lol
i cannot find my external sd card in es exploror, so since CM mounts EX SD as emmc what do i need to do to display this? their is no emmc folder listed. now before i flashed this cm9 rom, ES folder could display my ex sd card fine.
So a root exploror and file exploror are the same then? should i just stick with astro as i can see my ex sd card under emmc.
my issue with this, was when i tried to restore my TB backup, i could not find my files as its backed up on my ex sd card. thats why iam irritated by it, or does that have nothing to do with it! lol

Can you check in setting> storage if you SD is mounted? Root explorer can do everything that a normal file explorer can do, it is just an advanced file explorer with root access. Just having root explorer is enough. Can you find SD in root explorer or some other file manager?
Edit- Got it, go to TB preferences and click "backup folder location" and then hit "detect" It will then detect your backup folder and then click "use current folder", that's it.
Hey
Yes in astro I can find that emmc file and all my files are present. Its just ES I don't see it at all or no option for me to enable it. I'll rather just have one root explorer.
In storage it lists my SD card and below it' it says mount SD' insert a SD card for mounting So I guess its unmounted?
I used backup pro for my apps but I really don't think it worked as well but if it gives me issues. I'll just have to delete apps again and maybe use TB

Yes, if your card is not mounted then obviously it's unmounted , re-insert your card and see if that helps, if not then you may have to format it. I have faced this issue several times after flashing custom roms (specially CM based)

Hello again,
I tried ES to see if i could help you and its basically the same as Astro. Click on favorites -> Phone Icon -> emmc. After that u'll find it in history.

Right, but his SD card is not even mounted and that's the main problem here.

Well, I may be new to this, but if he can see his external sd card and the files in Astro it must be mounted?
Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&feature=search_result
go to mnt/emmc
Its there using root explorer.
And you can use icsbinder from playstore to bind it to sdcard/extsdcard
Just check first two options in icsbinder and reboot.

I've just flashed my SGS i9000 to CM 9.1, and i can't seem to have acess to my 8 Gb card. The Apollo player that came with the rom is able to find my mp3's in the card, but if i try to acess it through ES File Explorer, i can't find it.
If i ask for the phone statistics and choose the option SD card i can see all the files and folders, and see that the card is located at /mnt/emmc/, but it's location isn't shown on ES File Explorer.
Also i can't seem to restore my contacts backup that is in my sd card.
This is my first attempt at rooting/flashing my mobile. So please have some patience.
Thanks for the help

Edit:
I've installed Root Explorer v2.17.2, changed mounted as R/O to R/W, and have successfully accessed my external SD card....hope this info will help others with similar problems...
Reboot?

I'd try to take the SD out of your phone, make a backup of your data, then reformat with SD card reader and PC, then put it back in your phone.
try using a different file explorer like es file explorer to see if you see your sd card with that ?
