Now when I Try to copy my Titanium backup to my PC I get an error half way thru.
Likewise trying to transfer a ROM to my phone I get a similar error. Cant copy to and from the
external sd and the pc either.
I can copy within the phone from SD to extSD using Root Explorer.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Anyone? Any Ideas?

So I had a restore point on my TMo Stock rom created using the Clockworkmod recovery. I tried to update to Axura 2.1 from 2.0.5 today and the update messed up halfway. I'm going to take a wild guess it's my horrible mac book pro's wrong doing, faulty download (I'm a mac hater, it's a company issue device). Anyway, my phone is basically stuck at recovery and I have to wait till I head home to use the USB Cable and redownload the rom.
So my questions:
1. Is there no way to access the external SD Card? So I thought of copying a new download of the rom to the external SD, but all I can access is the internal SD card contents when installing zip from sd card. I tried to mount ext-sd (or sd-ext?) and it fails.
2. I tried restoring to the restore I created when I had my stock rom. It seems to go through it but then it just goes back to the recovery after reboot?
3. When I go home, how do I copy the files to the internal SD Card? For some reason, I don't think it's as easy as pluggin the usb cable to the phone while in Recovery mode?
Help would be appreciated.
Hello all, could not find this problem in search, so.
I bought a 32gb to replace the 8gb I was using, and im having trouble moving the files from .android_secure to the new card.
i copied files in usb mode from the galaxy to my computer and then swapped the sd cards , then tried to copy stuff back. but it just aint working , windows shows everything copys over except the .android_secure dir that is. my device will not recieve the files. and some other stuff in just plain dir's are not found when using root explorer. WTF is going on here.
Can anybody please help.
Thank You

Have you tried doing all your copying on a PC? I mean, taking your 8GB to a PC... copying files to a temp folder. Putting the 32GB card into the PC and copying all your files to the new card. I have always done this and I had no issues with folders not copying properly.

Like the pserson above me said, have you tried on the PC? Also when you do copy it over on PC make sure that you have all administrative rights on your computer so it can go through.
I know this is a tad old, but A nandroid backup such as done by 4EXT Recovery or even ClockworkMod should backup the .android_secure folder/partition/etc (in 4EXT Recovery when you do a backup, it saves the boot, system, data, cache, sd-ext/sd-ext2 into a backup which can be then be copied over to a new card after you partition it how you want, then run the restore process).
Likewise you could probably tarball it via adb shell in order to transfer it across file systems that do not support linux permissions and ownership flags.
I need some help.
I had a 16 gig sd card in my phone with several nandroid backups on it. I copied the contents to my computer so I could then transfer the files to a new 32gig card. I connected the phone via usb and every time I tried to copy the files it would give me an error that the files could not be copied. It would start the transfer and then stop and give me the error.
I understand that I could use a card reader but I don't have one and I haven't needed one before. I usually just use the usb cable for transfers and I have never had an issue until now. It almost seems that it won't let it transfer large files and just times out.
Any help would be appreciated. I need to get the files transferred to the new card. Oh, I also tried to copy to the internal first so I could then transfer on the phone but I got the same error.
Thanks!

Airdroid or MyFiles
Try using the program airdroid. It is an awsome program. path to your sd card should be /mnt/extSdCard
if not push the files to your internal storage then use the My files app to move them to your sd card.

Are you copying the whole folder or contents of the whole folder and trying to do the copy all in one shot? If so, try breaking up the copying process into half or even 4 parts and see if that works. I have done exactly what you're trying to do with no problem.
I tried both ways and I think it has something to do with the file size. Small files transfer fine but larger ones time out. I actually used the Kies Air program that comes with the phone. Interesting program/concept. I ended up transferring the files separately to the internal and then moved to the extsdcard. It sucks we can't just transfer there like a normal disk drive.
Thanks for the responses!

Tried AirDroid and it doesn't recognize the extsdcard. Just the internal. Thanks though.
I read about someone using adb to do this. If someone wants to doublecheck this first try adb pull /mnt/extsdcard PLEASE double check before you do this, I just started experimenting with adb and I'm not by my computer to try it first.

Hey there,
everytime I want to transfer some files to my internal sd, the explorer or the copy process stucks. After reinstalling the drivers it works once good but then I get the same issue. I know there´s UMS app, but I want to use my internal sd as well. Is there any fix, trick or something?
Thanks in advance
I'm using a Sero 7 Pro with dolorespark's ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709243 but I suspect the issues I'm having are nothing to do with the ROM, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas.
As I encrypt my devices I can't make Nandroid backups from recovery, so I use Online Nandroid Backup which lets me make CWM or TWRP backups. I've never had any problems before but now I'm unable to create the backup to my external SD. It seems to work normally but at the end of the log it shows "Error: Could not change to /mnt/sdcard2/clockworkmod/backup/2015-06-20.01.00.27. Exiting...exitcode [07]". If I make the backup to the internal SD instead it works fine but obviously that's unavailable from recovery, so it's not much use having the backup there.
So then I tried to copy it using ES File Explorer from the internal to external SD but whilst that appears to work, when I check the destination folder in ES it only shows recovery.log and if I check it from my PC it shows more files but only totalling 251MB, when the backup is actually 1.3GB.
I also found that accessing the tablet from my PC, the TWRP folder (after I made a TWRP backup) didn't appear in the folders listed, although it was fine in ES. That issue seems to be fixed after rebooting both my PC and tablet however.
Then I tried to copy the TWRP folder to my PC from Windows Explorer but that errored out and the only way I seem to be able to copy files from the internal SD to my PC is to use ES to transfer them over the Wifi with the LAN, which is obviously much slower than using USB.
So at the moment, to copy files from the internal to external SD, I have to copy them to the PC over the Wifi using ES and then copy them from the PC to external from Windows Explorer, which is rather long-winded and slow. Any ideas what could be causing these problems?
I update to DopA v2.7 which didn't fix the problems , other than that I was able to copy the clockworkmod backup from internal to external SD.
So I flashed back to stock ROM and that fixed the problem with Online Nandroid Backup, which now shows the Required Space when running the backup (before that line showed no value) and I can successfully make the backup to the external SD. However the problem with not being able to see certain files/folders in Windows Explorer persists though, so the backup I just made to sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup/date_time is not visible but the subfolders/files for the previous backups I made do appear and although I just made a backup to the internal SD, no clockworkmod folder shows at all for that in Explorer but does in ES.
So I might as well flash back to DoPA v2.7 but if anyone can help with the problems with not being able to see folders/files in Windows Explorer please let me know.
