I connected my External SD Card (StoreJet). My phone before it was rooted, I used to transfer files, documents, pics, videos, apks, you name it. Now my SD Card isn't recognizable, tested different USBs none of them worked. Is there a fix to this? Maybe a module fix in Magisk? If so what is it?

Hello.
I am trying to copy-paste my quite extensive mp3-collection to my Galaxy S. Its about 6GB.
The problem is that I don't want to use Kies as it mucks up all my ID3-Tags...at least it did the first time I tried it.
I just put the phone in Mass Storage mode and tried to copy-paste the Mp3's to the /music folder on the external SD. When I tried to let it copy all together I disconnected the phone properly (safely remove, then disc. from the screen) and let the media scanner run...it didn't find anything. When I connected it to the PC again I saw that the /music folder was empty and the /Lost.dir folder was 6 GB. So the files probably ended up there somehow.
Afterwards I tried copying the folders with my mp3s one by one, disconnecting the phone after every one and letting it search again and again and it worked fine for the first 3 GB...after one more copy paste it lost the new folder and wiped half of the rest which were working fine by then along with it.
I also tried doubletwist and WMP, same problem there.
I'm running Froyo.
Thanks for reading. Any ideas?
When you say you have tried WMP, have you sync'ed them to the card as you would do a mp3 player? It has never failed on me in the past so not sure what else to advise.
Also you may have a corrupt SD card or a fake? Make a backup of the files you have on it at present, then format the card, replace the back'ed up files and try again. There are allot of fake cards sold on ebay and there are some programs about that give diagnostics on cards so might be worth running one to see the genuine capacity and/or to see if there is any corruption.
Yep, I tried syncing as with a normal MP3-Player. Its really weird as it does this only with music and it also does it retroactively...it has lead me to believe that theres some kind of problem with the media scanner.
The card is bought off ebay, but its original Kingston...it was sealed up and everything. I formatted it yesterday just to be sure...didn't bring up any errors...I'll take a look at those programs you mentioned though.
Thanks.
Hmm... If it's only happening with music it might be worth checking to see if there is any DRM on the music files as well. If there is any you'll need to run them through a convertor to remove this.
My music files all AAC+ moved to external SD card .
New Folder on SD card named SONGS and placed all music in that folder via USB mass storage mode .
But all my music is DRM free .

Hi,
I am having problems with writing files SD card mounted as drive on HTC Velocity.
The phone often but randomly loses connection but only when copying large amounts of data. (mostly lots of small files)
Both SD card and Internal phone memory drives are lost.
I need to unplug/replug usb cable to restore drive.
When copying files, they randomly pause for a few seconds at different point and then continue then suddenly drive is lost. It appears as though HTC velocity has some other process running that interferes with copy process.
I have tried:
copying from different PC using different USB cables.
Tested SD card in SD card reader directly plugged into PC.
The SD card is Adata 32G UHS.
Any ideas on what more I can do to troubleshoot this?
Are there log files on phone that I can view?
Thanks

Could be a problem with the micro usb port on the phone. Check for any dust or debri or any bent pins.
I don't believe it is physical - read is ok
Write to internal storage is ok as well.
I have checked pins and all looks ok.
Also swapped with 16G SD card that was working in HD2 - same issue.
Still having issues writing.
Is there a legacy USB mode similar to some earlier HTC models or other settings I can change?
Any other ideas please?
Thanks
Solved
Did a factory reset and seems to have resolved the issue.
Wipe all data from data/sd card.
Suspect there was something installed that was causing SD card connections to stall when writing.
If I will update if I figure out the cause
Hi,
has anyone succeeded to export the internal or external SD storage as a USB mass storage device? The only thing that works for me is MTP under Windows.
Of what I know it's not possible because the phones usb mass storage only supports one drive.
Our phone has two drives, internal and external SD.
Therefore it has to use MTP for you to see the two drives in Windows.
It's the same for all phones with external and internal memory.
Solution: Unmount SD card, rip it out of the frickin phone, ram it into your computer, start copying HD quality movies super fast, rip it out of your computer and showe it back into your phone! Problem?

Yes, but I don't like to open the filigree back side too often.

Sorry for digging out this old thread. But still better than starting a new one.
I am new to android and the 4X HD is my first android phone. Was using iPhone with PWNtunes, which allows for free file transfers to and from the phone (including music & videos) without using ANY additional software on the other end.
Is there really NO way to activate USB mass storage at least for the external SD card ? I mean, I could like copy the files later to the internal memory, but I really hate the idea that I have to open the phone everytime I want to transfer a file. I can't always mail the files.
I am willing to modify the phone in any way, but I often come across computers where I can NOT install any additional software. Even worse I work with Hardware devices (like my car Stereo or my Set-top-box) where there is no possibility to change the Software.
So USB Mass Storage is the only way to go for me. All the google searches I've done so far point out 2 piece solutions, at best, where I would also need to install software on the PC.
Is there really no standardised solution for this that works on ANY Android ICS (like PWNtunes for any iPhone) ?
I would even pay up to 10 € for this feature, a feature that should be included !
With Total Commander and the Android-ADB-Plugin I have access to the entire file system and SD cards of all my Androids.
I don't know about yours but, for me its enough when I select "LG software" (don't know how's in yours cause mine is in Portuguese...), after I just need to run "LGAutoRun.exe" and I can see the internal store and external sd just like if I had "mass storage" selected.
If I have previously selected "LG software" windows just ask me if I want to open to see the files, but thats normal cause the drivers are already installed.
@Bud Cord & @RuedasLocas
Both are again solutions where I would have to run some kind of software on the Host side.
Yes, this will work for Win7 computers BUT IT WILL NOT work for my TV, it will NOT work for my Car Stereo, it will NOT work for my Printer, it will NOT work for my portable mediaplayer, it will NOT work for my DSL-Router, it will NOT work for my DVB-SetTopBox, and so on. For all those other devices that ONLY understand USB MASS STORAGE it will simply NOT WORK.
Yeah USB MASS STORAGE (UMS) is some crappy old block access device. BUT it is also the defacto standart that every USB Device that can read a USB stick supports.
I had a Windows Mobile 6.1 Phone some years ago, it hat UMS, only for the SDcard.
I had a simple Feature-Phone(SE K610), it hat UMS, again only for the Memory card.
I had a Chinese unbranded Phone with dual-Sims and a TV set built in, it had UMS!
I had an iPhone I could Jailbreak it and activate UMS. Every 2$ cheapo USB stick has UMS.
I again want USB MASS STORAGE at least for the SD-Card. I am still trying to find some workaround. Even that the phone was not rootable at the beginning was no dealbreaker for me, but THIS actually IS a dealbreaker for me. I loved to use my Phone as a USB-Stick and plug it in everywhere. I always did that. IPhone has forced me to carry around my own cable, android is forcing me to carry around a regular USB stick.
I hate the phone for not having MASS STORAGE. The worst part is that it seems like Android has adopted this crap, so any Android phone is just as bad.
Sorry for whining, I just thought that there was some simple solution that I am not seeing.
So I have a 64gb card in my phone, everything works fine on it except on boot it says there a problem when there really is none. All my music and files open just fine. Another issue I have is that the USB transfer rate is slower than 1.1 so any time I want to put new music on in have to take the card out and use an SD card reader to put new files onto it. Often times when transfer via a cable to the phone it just locks up mid transfer. How do i fix both the SD card problem boot message and the horrible transfer rates and lockup via USB?

Same issue on lumia 820.
Its possible that the master file table is dirty and the MicroSD needs formatted, but I'd use the Panasonic SD card formatter (I think that's what its called anyways), as SD cards require special care compared to hard drives.
HI everyone, I use to have different android phone, on the camera app you can choose if you want to save pics or videos to sd card, but there is No option to select pic save to sd card when using raZer phone 2 camera, is any one know how to solve this problem?
Another thing is some USB Type-C earphones is doesn't work on raZer phone 2, is any one have this problem too? the dongle is work fine.
See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/razerphone...r_phone_2_does_not_support_exfat_for_microsd/
You can try formatting the card as adoptable storage or you can connect the phone to a PC with an OTG cable and manually move the photos to the card.
