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.

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.
Hey guys. Today i decided to treat my X8 by buying a 8GB class 4 micro sd card to replace the stock 2GB micro sd card...all went well ! Within half an hour i copied & pasted everything out of my old card and into the new. That is until i tried to play some songs when i found that none of my songs appear...AT ALL ! Then i tried going into gallery. Same thing !!! I need help with this cuz i don't want to know that i wasted all that money on something that doesn't work T-T
P.S. : Running GDX V21, Alfs kernel V04. I've tried formatting it and THEN pasting the files from my old card. Still the same
P.S.P.S : By "my" X8, I mean my friends one which, in a few days or weeks will be mine

mayb u got a corrupt sd card?
open file explorer in the phone and look if there is something on the card. if you see all your folders and files, try to reboot your phone or install this from the maket.
if you don't see the files on your sd card, try to format the card from the settings in phone, not with pc
hope this will help you
crap...my sd card was also damaged ..it says sd card is damaged please format it...my heart broke ..4gb worth of pics , songs , videos GONE
there might be 2 solutions that I know:
1) Sdcard or the files may be corrupted. - Try to format the sdcard and put just one picture(a picture that you can view without any problems on pc) and see if you can view it.
2)nomedia - make sure there isn't any ".nomedia" file in the root of sd card or check in the folders where your music is store.
HOPE THAT HELPS

You can try formatting your SD card from your computer, maybe it helps.
Use the pc. There 2 types of format. FAT AND ntfs. Have you tried both? Also try quick and the regular one.

Ok...after ALOT of experimenting i finally pin pointed the prob....i used this app called Rescan Media Root...they say that every boot is slow because yr phone is scanning all the media files (Media Scan)...if you disable it, it'll speed up boot time ! But what happens in my case is it disabled the scanning, forever...so it never bothered to scan the sd card for my media files :S...after i reenabled it, it worked !

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)

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.

Hello I have Samsung GT-I9000 and I'm familiar with the phone, more or less. Recently I've bought a used Samsung GT-I9000 for my wife and I noticed that in file manager the shortcut for the external sd card is missing, same is with Root Explorer. I can access the external sd card by accessing the folder /storage and everything works but there is no shortcut. This has not been a problem until recently I wanted to upload a file to my skydrive folder which by default browses the sd_card_0 folder and I could not reach the external sd card. Please if someone could help me how to create a shortcut/link to the external sd card in to the build in sd card. I have searched for similar problems and solutions but I could not find any. Thanks

Hi tihis a know bugs (if you have ICS or later )
Anyway the solution may be the same, use directory bind (serch this app in xda) and create your shotcut where you want (root are needed )
try mnt folder. or make sure sd card are properly inserted. Any rooted file explorer can access to sd.
To make it clearer, this is the problem on the phone - the pointed folder is missing!

I'm not allowed to post external links so please go to the quoted url.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm using the awsome Xylon 2.4.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for I9000
try to browse ur url but da img not available there
after http there is a blank field which needs to be replaced with ://
i ........ nevermind.
are u rooted?
to be sure, juz rooted da explorer by clicking setting in menu button, and redirect everything to /storage/sdcard1
ur sd and internal are quite there so whats da problem? all 4.2.2 version already in ext4 so da folder /external_sd doesnt been used anymore, its for GB, u can see it by going to properties of da /external_sd and see there will be no space available.
JB uses /storage at / to indicate da sdcard, its proper that way and easy to organise
at /storage, there will be 2 directories, /sdcard0 (indicates your internal and /sdcard1 (indicates your external sd)
as i see here, there is nothing wrong with ur pic and fone
edited: i use root explorer so its taking a while for me to download CMfilemanager (well, gonna change ROM after this so installing it not a bother to me)
da first 2 thumbnail is my root explorer, the other are da same file explorer as yours
see thumbnail:
To solve this problem I used SiMi Folder. see this link
I also found Smart Shortcuts, which I like even better. see this link
Has anyone found a fix for external sd card mounting on Kitkat based roms? Every KK rom I have tried suffers from this error rendering them useless as I cant download anything nor can I install anything...only thing I have managed to do is import vcf file from sd card through file manager and that is all.So if anyone has any solution for this problem please let me know
You should have ExternalStorageProvider.apk in priv-app. Check it if there; try formatting your ext-sd with PC.

Tried that,didn't work.My sd card is in fat32 format @ the moment and I'm on Slimbean 4.3.1 it reads the sd card.I also should say that I have i9070p and I have to replace the tee folder in system/lib everytime I flash a new rom,but I think that it should have the same mount points as the regular i9070 without the p so I don't know why isn't it reading my sdcard on 4.4 roms,but it does read them on older ones,any more suggestions ?

I had problem with TWRP on GB way back (it was not showing), and repartition solved it - so it is not just for that.
Still doesnt work :\ I tried to partition it with minitool partition wizard,fedora20 and cwm still no luck Im on mahdi rom 2.5 @ the moment and my sd is in fat format from fedora disk utility and the same thing happened...I can see it from the settings/memory tab and from file manager and all I can do is import my contacts from there.What these 4 files in the tee folder actually do,and what fs does the kk support? Im running out of ideas why isn't it reading my sd...I should also note that I can see files on my sd card from file manager on kitkat roms,but I can't see files on my internal memory from file manager sdcard0
Try CarbonKitkat. Mine works with that rom, I can do everything with my extsd (sdcard1)
Tee files makes your Gsm signal works and other things that I don't know exactly.
