My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 running LineageOS 14.1.2 Nightly Android Nougat 7.1.2. After flashing SuperSU zip using teamwin in order to root, the external sdcard is hidden from all file explorers except the system provided one. Also even the system can't see it in that there is no option anymore to move applications to the external sdcard in options. I must now restore backup. Or is there another way? I hope this gets fixed.

I just updated my CWM to 6.0.4.6 in preparation for upgrading my CM10 to CM11. Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM10:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
Rebooted into webos:
resized my system partition from 400 to 600 mb.
When I booted in CWM to install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing. All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
The only folder in 0/ is clockworkmod/backup/[mynewnandroidbackup]/
Any idea what I need to do to get things straightened out?
CM10 still boots fine and my files show up in /sdcard0/. There is no sign of a folder called /sdcard/. Same story if I explore the device with a computer.
I should mention that I also moved my nandroid backup to my computer, off the touchpad to save space before I resized my partitions. I then moved it back into the folder. I wouldn't be opposed to wiping the thing and starting over to get 4.4 working.
Any ideas?

First, this issue that you observe has been discussed ad nauseam in various CM11 ROM development threads.
Second, you did not post which specific CM11 ROM you are planning to employ. So I assume it is Milaq's CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+).
At any rate, what you are observing in an inability to directly access the /external_sd partition (on the TouchPad), which is accessible in previous CM builds, but is no longer directly accessible in Milaq's recent CM11 builds (Kernel 3.0.101) or in his recent CWM recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49216229
• Milaq and others have suggested you can use ADB to mount the partition manually (sorry no instructions).
• Some have posted you can use Invisiblek's recovery (CWM 6.0.5.4 selinux datamedia) to flash Milaq's recent CM11 (Kernel 3.0+) ROM's
• You may be able to find a version of TWRP that can access the /external_sd partition.
On a related note, the new DataMedia storage paradigm which is the future of Android, has been designed into the newer CM11 and other KitKat ROM and recovery builds. Thus you need to increase the size of your /data partition.
You can use the Tailor app within WebOS to reduce the size of /media partition, then increase the /data partition size. And there are some scripts available that do similarly.
Best to read the specific ROM thread (including the OP) for more info on how DataMedia applies to the ROM build you are employing, and then be sure to read later posts in the thread regarding the inaccessibility of /external_sd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
It is possible that future builds of the CM11 ROM (kernel 3.0+) might provide access to /external_sd once again. Will see. Fingers crossed.
I tried invisiblek's cwm recovery and it did not provide access to /external_sd
(and there is confusion on the recoveries specific version number)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49423381
There is another recovery on invisiblek's site: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tenderloin.zip
Anyone have experience with that recovery version, ability to access /external_sd or "compatibility" with Milaq's newer CM11 ROM builds?
Yes sorry, Milaqs rom that you linked is the one I was working from. I don't have ten posts so that's why I'm posting here. I read through most of that forum and tried searching for my issue with no luck.
I went back and saw a couple posts that matched my problem with the following solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49154585&postcount=471
When I get home I will try this although I didn't remember seeing that folder when I explored my device on Windows.
Thank you for the reply and sorry for the redundancy!
Ok so I browsed my sd storage and there is no 0 folder in /sdcard0/media
Not sure what to do now

Hey buddy,
Make sure your file browser is using root. Personally I use Es file explorer. Turn on root explorer (find it at the bottom in the side panel) and make system writeable (By clicking on 'root explorer' then 'Mount R/W'). I'm sure most file managers will have something similar in their settings.
Then go to the root of your device by clicking '/' at the top. From there you should be able to follow the post you linked above by gabhroo123. And yes i tried his method and indeed i could see the files i pasted into the folder.
Good Luck
Here is another trick that worked for me. Recover a previous stored ROM that supported both sd1 and sd0. Use file manager to copy the files you want from sd1 to sd0. Then go back to the new ROM and you will have access to your files on sd0.

Ahhh thank you. I had tried this with a different file explorer in root. Es did the trick.
Now I need figure out how to fix these black screens that lock up after a good amount of inactivity.
Greeting HP Touchpad Expert: I need help.
I didn't mean to post this thread but I have same issue.. only I have this..
I also updated my CWM to http://milaq.exnet.me/downloads/tenderloin/misc/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tenderloin.zip
in preparation for upgrading my CM09 to CM11 (Milanq 4.4 Kitkat). Here's what I did:
Backup app data using Titanium.
Cleared both caches, installed the new CWM zip.
Rebooted to CM9:
copied my old nanroid backup to my computer.
Rebooted into CWM:
made a new nandroid backup.
I have not yet resize system partition.
Now, when I want reboot to CWM install the 4.4 rom all my folders were missing.
All I can see is
/sdcard/
-0/
-clockworkmod/
-clockworkmod/backup
Yes I have tried to ES File Explorer (R+W root) and following gabhroo123's notes above
I do not have
/data/media nor /data/media/0 folder
only empty /data folder.... I am able to write to copy older recovery-clockwork to /data but not "/" ...
When reboot to CWM 6.0.4.7 I still don't see any zip file.. (No files found message show).
Can someone at least point me the right URL or discussion xda-developers.com thread so I can read them.
I am not sure what I did wrong...
What extra steps I suppose to do ...because I have HP Touchpad with CWM 5.x.x + Android 4.0.1.x + CM 9 + mobo 0.35 ?
My planning steps were
#1) upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.7
#2) upgrade CM 11
#3) upgrade Gapps
Reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542353
([ROM] [NIGHTLY] [KitKat] [4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 nightlies [3.0 kernel])
I do see /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backupfolder.. in CM 9 and I did put CM 11 and Gapps in several place in
/media , /sdcard/media, /sdcard/cminstall etc.. but nothing.. kept saying file not found..
Should I downgrade CWM back to 5.x.x ? I do not see any install zip file at all ...how?
HELP!
Thank you
Hi,
I upgraded my Android to version 4.4.4 via the updater following these steps (from what I can recall).
1) I downloaded the latest Release version & the latest Gapps files locally to the tablet & went to recovery.
2) I took a backup, wiped Dalvik cache & apply update from sdcard.
3) I ran the Android release build zip file but forgot to run the Gapps zip file.
4) Android upgraded to version 4.4.4 but when I log in I get prompted that 'Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped' . As I forgot to run the Gapps zip file that is to be expected.
When I boot into recovery it can only see the following directories & not the update folder where the Gapps file was downloaded.
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
appdata
clockworkmd
downloads
ringtones
wallpapers
The recovery doesn't seem to be able to see the sdcard & only the internal storage.
However if I copy the Gapps zip file to any of the folders above, boot to recovery again it won't see the zip file.
I also seem to have wiped my backup trying to recovery the situation so can't roll back.
Within the recovery menu I've tried to mount/unmounts the below but it still can't see any of the folders.
Mount /boot
Unmount /cache
Mount /data
Mount /system
unmounts /sdcard
The above is my current settings but I've tried mounting them all.
To complicate the matter further the USB port on the tablet is broken so I can't connect it to my computer.
Previously to transfer files I used a ftp client on my laptop & Wifi File Transfer Pro on the tablet.
I don't know whether to finally give up on my touchpad so any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

Access to the sdcard has to be enabled by the developer. You must have installed one that doesn't (since you didn't specify which it was)

Here is the build info currently on the tablet.
Kernel Version:
3.4.82-tenderloin
Mod Version:
ev_ternderloin=testing-2015.01.22
Build number:
ev_tenerloin-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.flintman.20150122.215911 test-keys
If this build doesn't recognise the sdcard, should it not recognise the Gapps zip file on the internal storage?
There is 1.4GB in total on the internal storage with 388MB free.
Do you know if there is anyway I could get a build of Android & Gapps on the tablet & upgrade to that?
Thanks for responding to the thread.

I doubt you've used the latest and proper way to install 4.4/5.0 ROM's. Go here. Start over and follow the instructions to the letter. Read everything first and decide how you want to proceed before doing anything.
** deleted **
Let me undelete this. Suddenly I get a "Can not extract the zip" error, yet the zip is intact.
Magisk 19.2
LineageOS 16.x on a Galaxy S5
********************************************
Just in case anyone runs into this problem, check to see (especially if you just flashed a new ROM) that the system partition is writeable ...
So this is not my work I am just sharing this phh treble GSI which is fully tested and working super without any issues.
Installation:
Download this xz file(gapps included)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/treblerom/files/CAOS11/2022.02.28/caos-v315%2B220228-a64-bgZ.img.xz/download
Extract it and you will get image file place it in internal storage of phone.
Now Boot phone in TWRP and then tap install ,now tap install image tab now locate your CAOS image file and check mark system partition and slide bottom bar.
After flashing gets completed just go to wipe and do format data.
And reboot to the system.
Bugs:
1) adaptive brightness not working
2)some sensors are not working but still it will not cause issue
3)voLTE not working.
Here is full review of the rom
Will root this tablet soon and try it out!!
editnvm I thought I saw it as 2020 model
I just installed it and everything looks good so far. But I did NOT format the data partition. I had the Nexus ROM installed which didn't encrypt the data partition. Before booting this ROM, I used TWRP's file manager to see if the internal storage was encrypted and it wasn't. So it was like doing a dirty flash. It kept all of my apps and settings so all I had to do was arrange my home page. So, if your data partition isn't encrypted, you DON'T need to format it.
Hello, can you send the link to download the twrp? And for this tablet
(T515XXU8CVG2) Android version 11 is installed with Odin? Thank you
Hello, does it use less RAM than lineage os 19.1?
As you know, you need to upgrade the modem and radio firmware from 6.0.1 Android version to make the latest LineageOS or other ROM to work.
You can't do this for this specific device, SM-G900X (Galaxy S5 Live Demo Unit), as the ODIN will fail to flash the files.
But you can modify the ROM to make it past boot-loop quite easy.
Here's what you need to do in order to make it work:
Install latest TWRP for TWRP for KLTE;
You can do this with both ODIN or direct upgrade using TWRP image inside TWRP;
Boot into the TWRP;
Load a ROM .zip on the device like crDroid;
You can upload to SDCard using USB while on TWRP;
Wipe everything (except Internal SD Card);
Install the ROM;
Check if it boot-loop;
Now you need to fix the ROM, which is quite easy:
Boot back into the TWRP recovery;
Go to: Mount -> System (check);
Go back;
Go to: Advanced -> File Manager;
Navigate to: /system/vendor/lib;
Delete or rename: libsec-ril.gsm.so, libsec-ril.usc.so, libsec-ril.vzw.so;
Reboot and enjoy .
what if those files are not present in vondor/lib folder and still is boot loop
G900X is on snapdragon or exynos?
