No i hv't did it, just using the phone usually, and suddenly the photos gone:crying:

Now i have using recovery tools to rescue my SD card photo and some of them are backed, and i will try to format my sd card, hope this issue will not happen again T_T
Does someone experienced same problem??

My GT-N7000 did exactly the same thing to me on Saturday
Stock ICS rom on Orange UK
I was getting Google Sync warnings about deleted items limit exceeded on contacts (which I DID NOT delete), but then the phone deleted them, and my SMS and all my photos and videos I had taken.
I am desperately trying to find how to recover them, but the phone has gone mad!!!

[Help] SD card is mounted by recovery but not by system

Hi there.
I have a 32 GB SD card, which is partitiooned onto FAT32 and ext 3 for s2e.
I rebooted into recovery to flash a new rom, and went to wipe data, it all went fine until the SD ext format. It got stuck (waited 15 minutes then pulled battery off). Tried again, nothing. But SD card mounted fine on recovery. Flashed the rom without wipes, it didn't boot. Replaced SD card and it booted. Unmounted the other SD card on settings, and plugged the 32 Gb one, it didn't recognized. But: recovery did.
Then I remembered I took my SD card off to listen to music on my DVD before that, could've that messed up my SD or external partition?
Will I have to reformat it on PC?27 GB of data, oh god

No that wont make the sd card corrupt.. bt if some operation is going and if u hav removed sd card. That could make it corrupt. Bt u try magic partition n first try to format only sd-ext if possible.
Or u can also try some recovery tools to copy ur data..
If dat doesnt work. I wil try to search for u n wil try how to get it back
Hit thanks if that helped u:thumbup:

Tried formatting sd ext on mini tool partition wizard. It took about 2 hours and showed unfformated partition. Tried again, same thing.
When I was going to format the main FAT32 partition my cousin left and took her notebook but tried through CWM recovery and it got stuck...
It still mounts on CWM, the pc and my dvd...
I think I will try to put it into my moms nokia then format it, then try to format it again on CWM

Soooooo... Tried at my friends, and when deleting SD ext partition it says "bad disk"... but i close the program, re open and it shows the freaking ext partition again LOL
EDIT: Im starting to think that somehow my SD card is set to read-only. Is that possible?

Hi,
Since two days ago when i installed the Marvel ROM, I have the same problem. Cant see photos, music, etc... But if i go to Root Browser i see the photos on the SD Card.

Check if there is any .nomedia file in the root of sdcard or in your music/picture folders.

try what they said above and if it doesnt works...try defragmenting it using a pc

Hi there!
At the moment , I am in holiday and I'll arrive tomorrow. I will search in my sd for that .nomedia but I have a question...will sd defragmentation from phone work ? And how to do the defragmentation via pc? What programs should I use.
Thank you for your assistance. You are such a good community. Good night to every one!!

RomWiz: I have tried to search for files that have .nomedia but I did not find anything.. meh I'll try defragmenting the sd card...if not I'll just buy a new sd..it is not so expensive lol. Anyways I heard that HTC phones have the same problem...
Thank you for your assistance guys!!

P.S.: I still wait for other suggestions xD.
P.S.S.:Any news on official ICS update? I have contacted lg korea and lg india +uk but no answer.

i had the same problem. i´ve tried three diffrent roms but the problem was still there. but i´ve solved it like that:
- update rom manger
- reinstall clockworkmod, so the newest version is installed
- install any rom (i am using boypes cm 7) with wiping data/cache/dalvik cache
and voila, my p970 recognized all my media files^^
sorry for my bad english

Thank you Celo385!
I will be doing that ehen I'll arrive home. Keep calm, your english is ok lol.
I think I will put Fop rom cm 9 nightly 6 but idk..xD. Thanks for your assistance

Remove /mnt/sdcard/.nomedia
Because it is in the root of sdcard it hides everything.

I deleted the file, rebooted but i cant see the files in the gallery. And the file was created again.
Note: When i installed the Marvel ROM i dont formatted the SD Card. May be that?

I had same problem, I tried unmounting the sd card and then mounting again, worked.

owh,..
thank bro for your advice,..:good:

Also be careful getting fake, imitation sd cards out there, it would cause you instability problems like those gallery messing up, occassionaly read write errors when rom flashing or install apps on sd, and sometimes you already deleted this photo/video and will show up later on, getting duplicate copies on thumbnail galleries but actually its the same, so when you delete one, you delete both. You really cant tell the difference from fake to original, most of the time its logo easily fades. Also get those made in japan, korea or taiwan, not those made in china.

Pictures missing from gallery and other media

Hey i be recently noticed a problem that every time I reboot my phone, my previous images from gallery and music from Apollo disappears.
I ran kaspersky on my phone but can't detect anything funny. Have also tried to load the videos in vlc but it doesn't work.
Other android users have faced some problems like this but a quick reformat of their card would erase this problem. In my case im not using ext SD card from the note, but using the internal sc card that is the mounted flash memory.

Hi, I'm a defy+ user, and i too have the same problem with my phone after CM10 17th Aug update.. is this CM10 issue or SD card issue??

then it can be a multitude of reasons.
I like clean installs, I dont like recovering apps, especially not data. But thats me.

Thanks it works for me. But only the camera pictures are back.. not all the music and videos. Thanks for the fix!! I had a feeling It was the ROM manager since it started acting funny after I had updated it lol

[Q] Imternal sd awkwardly partitioned

Hi all,
I noticed that my internal sd card has two 0 folders, they are like so
Sdcard/0/0/
Everything from internet saves on the first /0/Download for ex., i am now on arhd 51, but previously on archidroid everything saved inside /0/0/Download, is there any way to fix this, or repartition or something without need to wipe all the data in sd? Because everything is messed up and i don't know any more wich uses what folder and so on.
Thx in front.
Edit: posted in i9305 not i9300 Q&A, mods please transfer, sorry for that.

can you post some screenshots of the two folders and their content, perhaps i can tell you what to do?
Edit: you can also copy all the files in one of the 0 folders to the other 0 folder and delete the empty one, i asked for screenshots just to make sure if there is any important file in one of those folders that maybe will cause problems with functioning of other apps or system settings if you replace it.

Here is the /0/0/ and i cannot delete archidroid folder or clockworkmod folder (write protected), also if i copy pictures from 0/0/DCIM/Camera to 0/DCIM/Camera, they are not shown, even after reboot when mediascanner is running, when i transfer them back they are imediately shown.
Edit: i can delete archidroid and clockworkmod folder, but via phone, not via pc, but the probem with transfering pictures to now used DCIM still persists.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium

I transfered all the pics inside a new folder in sdcard/0/DCIM but they just don't wanna show, they pop up only in sdcard/0/0/DCIM
What can cause this problem? (I can normally view them in file managers.
I noticed that when i force run media scanner it scans storage/emulated/0/0/
It doesnt scan the first /0/ that is used now, can this be fixed?

oke bro, here is what you should do everything personal and important to you like pics./music/documents copy to your external sd card or to your pc if possible both should be safe. format your internal sd card of the phone in recovery mode after everything is restored back put your files back into proper folders and all should be fine again. you are rooted and have custom recovery installed right?

Yes of course i'm rooted with twrp, i tought there was some other way than getting in all that copy paste, but i'll do that and then it must, just must work.
I think i messed something up in archidroid installation when it asked for EXT4 repartitioning or something like that.

yes that must be it, as i had read somewhere on these threads a similar problem like yours its better to avoid changing or setting options from which you dont understand what they do like EXT4 or F2FS partitions unless you know what you are doing. at least thats what i do to avoid any problems with my device

Yes, i know now for future, but, one more question..
It's 'calculating time for copy...' now, i see it'll take ages to 'calculate', so, is there any option to just mount the internal sd card, i remember i could mount it via CWM on my old S2 and everything went quick, but i cannot mount just SD anymore, only as a 'Media device', it seems quite slower..
Do you know an option to do that?
Edit: Disabled indexing, it's flying now

I do recommend using philz touch CWM advanced edition or just the CWM touch version as a recovery choice (especially philz) rather than Twrp, but its all up to you..

I was on philz quite a while, now testing twrp, i did the wipe, everything's perfect now, but i accidentaly deleted my pics coz' they were in the 0/0/ and i deleted the second 0 thinking i don't need it
I got a little shock but i'll recover
