What build are you running? What radio? Rom?
Some Android builds run from a folder and some from the root of the men card. And the radio in use affects booting. Make sure you have your info correct regarding the build you are using.

CWM is super easy to use......go the OP of the CWM beta1 thread and he elxplains the ins and outs of getting into CWM. once your in it....all you have to do is have the file at the root of the SD card and go to install zip/install zip of SD/ then choose the zip and flash.
i do not have the beta on my phone yet, but i would just check the OP he seems to have laid it out pretty well.
You dont even need to have the file anywhere special on your SD card either. Just somewhere where you can find it because once you select install zip from sd card you have to navigate where you put it.

If you didn't put a microSD card in your phone for extra storage it won't have a "external SD" folder.
I do have a 16g sd , it has the. Ext sd card fie but was not there

Ok well open up the "my files" app and scroll down to see if a "external_sd" folder exists. If it isn't there then go to settings -> storage, and make sure the SD card is mounted.
If you download a Rom directly from your note it should be in a folder called "download"

Well "my files" shows the sd card, and the settings only shows unmount option for safe removel, so I'm sure its mounted

Not sure if I should have created a new thread for this but here goes. I flashed CWR through Odin yet when I go into recovery it's still stock recovery?
Did I do something wrong, I got success in Odin?
EDIT: I figured it out, my bad.
Hi all
I'm new to the whole Android world. Although after a bit of a research I managed to root my phone and installed the resurrection rom for my sgs2.
All is fine with the new rom except that my SD card contents aren't visible in the file manager. But if I connect it to the PC it shows up just fine.
It would be real helpful if someone could give me a solution.
Thanx.

Have you read the FAQ for the rom?
« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?
This time the manage the external sd it's different way, now the external SD it's called /emmc, there are your files. You can access to this folder with any file explorer (even the stock one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.
« ¿Ok, but then how set my external SD like "external_sd" instead of "emmc"?
You can test this app made by gundalbert: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=30625
or you can check this post courtesy of lbsonic:

If you have troubles with the featured methods, at reboot the problem persists and you can't see anything on external_sd, please check this post by ggs2:

Well I've been trying for like 3 hours and still no luck. Which is the root cuz I noticed when I plug the card into the computer and the prompt comes up to choose what I want (and I choose open folder to.view files) on the top of the screen it says g:\ and when I choose the open folder to.view file it turns the g to a E:/ so which is the official root. Anyway I tried putting the dload in both and nothing. I have no clue what else to do. This isn't the first time I do some Modding on electronic equiptment. I have my phone rooted and Ive installed android into windows phones...I also tried redownloading the file but nothing.
Do you have a SD card in the machine? Be aware that the internal memory on the Mediapad calls itself SD but it is not.

No. I remove the SD card and put it in my phone. After I move the file into the SD card I put it in the tablet.

Not sure why you are having these problems. Any reason why you don't just install one of the rooted ROMs found here?

3. copy all my files in the sd card to my computer for backup.
4. format sd card to fat32 with default allocation.
5. copy dload folder to my sd card.
6. put my sd card back to my tablet turn it on and everything goes well.
7. copy my files from my computer back to my tablet. (THATS IT!!!)

My card is already a fat32. I've tried it all. Can it be because my springboards build number is S7-303u and the file I downloaded is S7-302u?
well screw that stupid download from the website i dont know why i wasnt able to imstall ics on my springboard. so i went to the [ROM][ICS] [UNOFFICIAL] Root-ready Huawei MediaPad/SpringBoard ICS International and it was installed on the first try. so like i said i have no clue what i was doing wrong or if it was just crap. well guys thanks for you help especially rkwhyte2
here i have a fix for xperia phones that are not allowing the users to use there sd card correctly.for this fix you need to have root
before attempting this i advise you do the following as i hold NO responsibilty
1. backup any files that require modification
2. make a full backup.zip and move this from sd to pc
3.backup all of your apps from internal memory so that after the change you can restore all app data to the "new" internal storage
assuming you have root and follow above
use any root explorer to browse to system/etc
find vold.fstab and rename to .bak
download vold.fstab for your device
transfer to phone (internal or sd)
use root explorer to copy file from (where you placed it ) to system/etc
reboot phone
recover all app data
now sd card should be working fully as internal storage
if you require a fix for the phones not here please send me vold.fstab and i will modify the file
Please note these files for the moment are for stock ICS
changelog
28/11/2012
added xperia j
8/12/2012
replaced xperia go file
21/12/2012
added xperia sx (untested please give feedback)
I think u must change the permission of the copied file to rw-r-r.... Is it not necessary....???
cant use sd card as MSC connectivity... Works only MTP connectivity...???
It is like swapping internal memory to External memory and vice verse rite...??
Sorry for question , but I don't really understand what it need to fix? Could u explain?

when using the sd card on the xpeira go the sd card wont be used for apps as standered all apps and app data are sent to the inernal
memory and not to your sd card this means when you have filled your small internal memory (4gb) no more apps games can be downloaded if you find that this is the case you can use is this to swap your sd card and internal memory around so that if u have a 32gb sd card like i do you can use this to store all the information on your phone (as you hope to be able to do with your sd card )
