Guys,
I have taken sd card from my nokia e72 and added to samsung galaxy s2 but i am not able to see the card
my files\external card
can anyone give me description on it?
First check Settings > Storage, and check what the top most 4 lines say. Does it state anything about 'SD-card'? Can you select 'format SD-card'?
Do you have the folder 'external_sd' on your internal storage?
Do you mean you can't see it on your phone, or you can't see it on your pc? If you mean through your pc when browsing internal storage: you can't see your external sd by clicking on 'external_sd'. You have to select the other storage that's available in your browser.
Anyways, just reformat the card if nothing helped. Format it as FAT32, then your phone will recognize it.
i have formatted the microsdhc(class 4) card as FAT32 system and then inserted into mobile...
Settings\Storage does not show sd card
and also in task manager for sd card it shows 0.0 bytes
please i need help....

I just flashed a new ROM on my galaxy S2 GT-I9100... But the USB storage is not mounting. I have inserted an SD card ( 2GB ) .. But instead of showing the SD card in the external storage, it is showing it in the internal storage. My 16GB internal storage is gone.. How can I mount my SD card to external storage and get back my internal 16GB Storage.... ????

The sd card is mounted as a folder and its shown as a folder in internal memory (that aint a problem since if you copy anything into that folder you are copying into the sd card) , and if you are saying that only the sd card is getting mounted and being used instead of internal memory enable root access for aps and adb in settings - developer options, this will mount internal as /mnt/eMMc and if you want to change the default storage go to storage settings press settings button and change from storage configuration, and please include more information like rom type, os version and many other relevant information if you want people to help.

I thank people who write helpful posts, so i expect the same.
Hey people,
Can someone tell me how to set up my SD card to function with CM10? Which path is the SD Card for internal storage and which one is the external? Also, how can I get it to show up on my pc when I plug the phone in? Right now, it only shows up for the 9gig internal storage partition. Thoughts?

I am getting this error of No external storage available on all the apps that require internal storage e.g. In Gallery, it says no external storage available, same in camera, explorer e.t.c
Have I done something wrong?
Do you have an sd card?
I do have an sd card, currently, the player only works with the sd card.
somehow the sd card is being treated as the internal sd card? this is completely weird. As soon as I take out the sd card, it fails to recognize the internal card.

Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

1 can you go setting--- memory-- check what is available and send the scren shoot.
2 when you wipe in recovery no any strange message at the screen? like can't read or open mmcblk0p 15....
I got this same kind of problem but i dont have and external Sd, but i want to save the pictures on the phone it self is there a way to change this? Because when i open the camera ap it says, no external memory.
I had the same issue
I had the same issue.
Go into recovery mode and try to mount emmc. That's what my external SD was renamed.
It was fine when I loaded the ROM but it flaked out after I loaded a different kernel.
I would recommend using X-plore from the Play Store to navigate your files. It's the best way to explore, move etc.
Try format SD-card:
Go to CWM -> mounts and storage -> format sdcard
I've installed Hyperdrive via SafeStrap today. It seems that when you create that Rom Partition, the OS seems to have been configured so that "SD Card" is actually internal device storage and in order to actually get to the External SD Card I you have to go to Root -> Storage -> ExtSDCard directory.
Also, when I plug it in to the computer, all I can see is the External SD card and this new "fake" SD Card partition in the computer. I can't even get to the Root of the phone.
The problem is things like Pictures and some applications only allow you to choose "Device" or "SD Card" for storage and no matter what you choose it's going to the same place and this virtual SD Card Partition is almost out of space!
Help!
Any help?

That's the way the Stock ROM works - /mnt/sdcard is the internal storage, /mnt/extSdCard is the external storage.
You can't mount the root because it's a Linux EXT4 filesystem. Windows doesn't understand it. Again, that's normal behavior.
My pictures, music, Ti Backup files, etc. are stored on my external SD card, so it's quite possible to do that.
Fixes and Question
Wrong thread, could not delete. Sorry.
When I try to do things in TWRP it gives me an error that says E:Unable to mount storage. I thought maybe my sd card needs to be reformatted or something, so I went to the system settings once booted and looked under storage. At the bottom "Mount sd card" and Erase SD card are both greyed out and I cant select them. When I connect my phone to my pc it shows only internal storage instead of an internal folder and sd card folder.
All of my data on my sd card still shows up when im on the phone though and I believe all of my data on my sd card is showing up as under internal storage.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?

I had a similar issue today, my SD card was corrupted, this seems to happen with my SD card and android devices every now and then and I'm not sure why. Putting the SD card in my computer showed most of the files were okay, however, there were some that were messed up. Mine was pretty messed up so it is looking like I'm going to have to reformat it if repairing the corrupted parts doesn't work.
I just found a sd card adapter for my pc and used it. I ran chkdsk on the sd card and it found a ton of errors. If I reformat the sd card; what should I reformat it to? Fat32? That's what it is currently.
Edit-After running chkdsk f: /f on my sd card im able to select the mount and erase options now. It seems to have fixed all my issues.
