I have a strange problem, that originally started when I flashed Axura 2.0.5. I no longer use Axura, I've now flashed Stock JK6 provided by Sombionix.
Anyway, here is my problem. I can't put any large files on my built in internal 16gb memory. For example if I'm using "root explorer" to move a file from one folder to the next, I can't. It says something to the effect that the destination doesn't have enough space. I get the same problem if I try to use windows 7 with my usb cable to put stuff onto my internal memory, windows 7 tells me "the file is too large for the destination file system." I have plenty of space though!
Any ideas?
Anyone with any suggestions?
Did you try reformatting your sd?

No, do you think that might solve the issue?
sounds like the file allocation table is misreporting free block space. A reformat should fix this. Just move whatever you want to save off the internal storage to a pc...format from the phones menu...move your stuff back...
Possibly yes. I'd try unmounting and formatting from settings>sd card and storage. Backup anything important you have on there first though.

Ok guys, I was going to backup my entire internal SD, by just copying and pasting everything onto my desktop. It doesn't even let me. I highlight all the contents of my internal sd, then try to just place it onto my desktop, and nothing happens. It is as if I never initiated a copy and paste. Tried it on a different computer, same thing, absolutely nothing happens, but I can copy the contents of the external microsd just fine.
I have an old backup of my contents I made prior to flashing axura, but the issue now is, what If I reformat my internal sd and end up with a dead phone, meaning I can no longer load anything back onto it, such as my old backup
edit:
I can copy and paste small files from my internal sd over to my desktop, but anything large, it acts like I never even initiated a copy and paste. what the hell!
Reformating seems to have worked.
Well I just reformated, even though I couldn't create a new backup. Seems like reformatting worked though so far!
Thanks!
That was a bit odd. Glad it worked though.

same thing for me, trying Nero B2.
I was playing around changing prl's and on my last reboot my phone stopped reading my sd card. I've did nandroid backups, pulled battery and took out and re-installed the sd card. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

I don't think it's my card because I can still flash roms that are stored on my sd card.

I am using twrp recovery. My phone won't go into disk drive when I plug it into my pc, but if I go into recovery and toggle sd card, my pc can read the files on my sd card.
I could sure use a little help. Or at least a push in the right direction.

That is a strange issue. If it were me, this is what I would try:
Use a card reader connected to your PC and copy all of the files over to your PC. Make sure you have your folder view set up to see hidden files.
Next, format the SD card. (you can use this free program "SD Formatter" https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/) or just use your normal formatting process.
After the card is formatted put it back in the phone and see if it can read the card. If it can, then copy the files you backed up on your PC back to the card.
If it can still read the card after putting everything back on, you're golden. If it can't, then there is some app or file on the card causing the problem.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
thanks for the advice mvansomeren. worked like a charm. i have no idea what happened. i changed a prl file rebooted, was too slow so i did the ##775# and i saw that i couldn't find my old prl file. i went to check for the file and couldn't find my astro. lol. then i noticed that the phone wasn't reading the card. well, if it happens again i'll know what to do. thanks again.

Thanks for letting us know how it worked out. I'm discovering that the SD card is the root of a lot of strange issues. I'm not sure if data is getting corrupted somehow or the quality of the cards is questionable but now, whenever I have a weird issue with the phone, the first thing I do is pull out the SD card and see how the phone behaves without it. If the phone returns to normal, I know its something to do with the SD card.

+1. It's happened to me several times. Also a good idea to back up the sd card often. Saved me many times.

I can't get my internal or external sd card to work anymore it keeps saying "usb damaged you may need to reformat it." Anyone have any idea of a way I could back things up before i have to format?
Should probably mentioned that CWM still recognizes it and that it happened after I flashed the v5 preview of checkrom in the I9100 section (hellraised of course) and that the issue still appears even after going to my Android backup, ICScrewD

Try hooking your external to a computer and copy all the files to another folder. Format it. Then put them back on.

Problem is that the external is fine but not the internal, I think I have a solution but I have to wait until I get home

i can adb pull the entire sd card right?
This happened to me but worse...
For a week or so I had a feeling my ext card was dying (backed up weekly), yesterday it stopped working. Had to reformat then use some recovery programs on Window to get the files back most of which I got back.
I thought that was the reason for my media scanning loop, but once I removed the card it still did that the rest of the day, I ended up reformatting the internal portion as well, but I moved everything to my PC before doing so.
Was able to get rid of all the junk from leftover apps/roms as well, feels smoother.
Hopefully your able to retrieve everything, good luck!!

just need to pull the android folder on the sd card, too much stuff to do manually with droid explorer
Never used Droid Explorer, I just pulled it directly using windows since it was just the USB. Going to grab it when I get home and see what Droid Explorer can do for me.
Thanks!

it can't do folders but it basically is ADB with a GUI, ended up saying screw it and wasted the Android folder and everything is back on
I had the opposite problem once. My computer would recognize storage, but the phone wouldn't. I ran a disk check and it fixed the problem.
I'm having a different issue when I plug in the USB and hit the drop down to "select to copy files to/from computer". When the computer recognizes the two SD drives, I get a popup that says there's a possible problem with my internal SD card and wants to scan it for fixes. Not sure if it's safe to let windows mess with my internal card. I can opt out of that popup and everything works fine. The question is, is it safe to let Windows scan and possible fix it?

USB Storage is damaged too, no CWM, no connect to PC
Hi,
Just rooted my phone 2 days back and today just got the USB Storage damaged in notification bar.
I cannot accessed to both internal and external in ES File Explorer and also not able to connect to my PC. I do not have CWM too.
I did have a copy of Titanium Backup for all users and system apps in my PC, is formatting the ONLY way? I am afraid that after formatting, the system files would be gone and I would not even able to restore from Titanium Backup and Samsung Service Center would charge me since I had void the warranty by rooting the phone.
Please help! :-(
Go into recovery and mount the internal and use adb or Droid explorer to get the necessary files out

I am using Quickboot to go into recovery mode, Tried the Reboot system now but still same issue. which one to select? Pardon me as I am new to rooting.
Reboot system now

My advice is to just flash a kernel with Odin, getting into Download mode with a jig, and then trying to pull the files off with CWM.
Hey guys, i downloaded a movie onto my sd card and i can't get it off. I've tried to delete it it from the phone and also by inserting it into the computer. It says deleted but when i put my sd card into the phone the file comes back. What's going on with this?
Are you sure that the file aren't created automatically by the phone (or an app) ?

hmmm
your right, the app i downloaded it from keeps trying to download it after i delete it. DUH ...let me see if it stays gone now. Thanks for the help man. Thank you very much.
Nope that didn't work either, it says it's deleted, but when i pop my sd card out then put it back in the file pops back up. I also deleted it from the app that downloaded it.
Maybe the SD Card is dead now?
What type of movie is it?

Sd card died...called sandisk...sending me a new one for free.
I already have apps on my SD card that I had moved over in the past but any other apps I move now become corrupted and useless. I'm hoping that formating the card will fix this issue. Can I just copy all contents from the card over to my pc then copy them back on after the format? Should everything work correctly? I have 6gigs of spotify music and other big data files. Hope someone answers Thanks!

I'm on lollipop with klte root. Man I messed up. I transfered all the contents from my sd over to my pc to format it and when I switched everything back over the folders came up as all empty. And I can't seem to recreate a folder called .android_secure. My storage info shows that about 9gigs of space are being used on the sd but the folders show nothing. 6gigs were of pure spotify offline music. This is not a good day. Tons of pics were there too.

I have done the same. In MM was concerned that my SD data would be gone. Made the transfer to the PC of everything. After seeing what MM did to my SD, I formatted the SD again and transferred from the PC to the SD and all was fine. If you want that info back and it is still on the PC, then just do the same. In my case after the format, all was as before.
I lost everything on the card. Dammit. I want to just do a complete hard reset of my phone. If I do a backup with kies will I be able to add all my apps and settings back on my phone afterwards with a recovery of the backup?

I recommend using Kies and Another Backup Solution as I've had problems with Kies backups in the past, causing me to lose saved texts, contacts, memos, settings, etc.
I personally recommend using Helium backup from ClockworkMod, a quick search through google play should get it for ya.
Happy resetting! :3
EDIT: Just realized this thread is old... you've probably already reset the phone. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date stamp..
It's almost scary that you would have responded to this thread right now. I am going through the exact same mess again. I tried applying a fix to make the external card detectable by other apps which were not detecting it. Well after doing that none of my apps or data on the card show up or work. The files are there if I explore root folder though. How do I regain the pathway to the card? Through my USB on pc it does not show the external but it does if I use sd card reader with the sd card by itself. Last time I copied everything from the card to my pc then formatted. It all became a senseless mess when I tried returning everything to the card. Lost everything. I tried backing up with kies before but it did not give option to backup sd card. Please help is an understatement. I just checked the sd card for errors using Windows tools but no errors popped up.

The reason for this occurrence (as well as how to fix it) depend on how the fix was applied.
Please describe the nature of the fix as specifically as you can. Things like where you found it, what it does, how you installed it, as well as if this is the same SD card, will help the most.
Edit: if you could also include the file system that's on the card that would be great too.
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what the file system on the card would be but I've attached a screenshot of what I did. The name of the app is there.

Well I found the app in question in the play store, and was unable to track down exactly what it does, so we can't get anything out of that.
To get the file system that's on the card all you have to do is put it in a Windows PC and look at the drive properties.
At this point the best thing to do would be to back up everything on the card to a computer.
