did some searching and couldnt find an exact answer I was looking for about this.
Rooted my G1 back in the day and partitioned the sd card. have since upgraded to vibrant and im looking to root. will this partitioned sd card have any negative consequences to rooting my vibrant. how do i know which partition to place the .zip files in, or does that matter as long as i can find them in a file manager?
thanks in advance.
hope you not partitoning through clockwork cause u will brick internall memmory , unless u partitoning external sd u good to go i use program called paragon partiton manager for my ext2 ext4 fat32 rfs jfs needs iv partitoned my ex sd to ext4 so i ccan have dedicated partition for my apps insteadd of placing them on internall memmory. good luck.
never ever ever partiton your internal memmory unless u know what you are doin ,knock your self out regarding external sd and no it wont affect rooting process. (you can replace external sd ,u cant repllace internal sd and iv heard stories of people that ruined internall memmory by partitoning internal sd, hard brick bc of sd failing from partitoning)
ok, i think i understand. since i have just partitioned the external sd card i wont have any problems rooting. is that correct? not even sure how to access the internal memory yet. have to look into that. now if i want to load a custom rom on here. which part of the partition would i put the .zip file in.
wrong put the zip file on your INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL ...clockwork dont mount exteranl sd in recovery so externnal sd doesent get even mounted in recovery meaning its usles.....zip files it belongs just on INTERNAL SD no folders just file by it self . simple .
Ok thanks youve beena great help.
thank you.it was great talking to You too .
Hello everyone,
I have a small problem, I bought a new Galaxy s2 and a samsung 32GB (class 10) micro sd. I was very happy installing some gameloft games and some apps WHEN the phone says it doesnt have space. I checked the Storage options and it seems that the phone created a new folder for my SD card and named it "external_sd".
I searched this on google, and some people say to install Astro others say app2sd etc etc BUT none of them solve the problem because the phone still thinks that the "SD" is the SD folder(actually haves that name) that is inside of the internal storage.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I even tryed to move the Gameloft folder to the "external_sd" one, and I had to DL everything again... Maybe there is a way but I .. I simply cant see how.
Thank you.
P.S. Not rooted. 2.3.5 Europe.
"external_sd" is the sd card you bought!
while "sdcard" is the internal storage!
Put all your games in the gameloft/games folder in the internal storage which is "sdcard.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I already knew that the folder "sdcard" is the inertal (like I sayed on my 1° post).
You sayed to put all the games on the gameloft folder and let it be on the internal side... but thats my problem. I cant. I dont have more space. I want to put all those files on the MicroSD that I bought. All (or allmost) all the others android phones are able to do that, so I assume there must be a trick for it.
P.S. I saw this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579546&highlight=storage
They talk about flashing the phone with the correct "pit file". But my phone is new and is not rooted. If i wait for the ICS will that fix the problem o.0?
Hello,
I have installed Cyanogenmod version 10.1 on my S2.
The rom looks good. I only have one problem. I can't access my external SD card.
When I go to system, storage I see there the SD, and how much of it is filled, but I can't access it in any way nor any installed sw.
I have a backup that is on my external SD, when I want to do restore, I can't since it will not see the external sd.
Can anyone please help me?

Happened to me on both internal and external cards women first booted. Try booting again, keep the screen alive while your phone boots up. It worked for me

Go inside storage and there u will find the sdcard0 and sdcard1
For me it says sdcard (Internal sdcard), and the extsdcard (external sdcard). But you can find them in the Storage folder.
Happy New Year.
Thank you friends,
I might have not understood you all...when I go to file manager or mybackup-pro, I can't see the external sd card (nor the sw see's it, nor I with the file explorer).
Only when I got to system/storage I see that the device see's it (I can see the storage of the sd and how much is filled).
However, I can't access it, nor my sw installed.
Please let me know how you resolved it?
Thank you,

Ignore the built in file manager and install "File Manager" from Google Play and use that instead.
Same problem here.
Using another file manager will not solve the problem of Apollo crashing if you have music files on that external sd card.
The whole system can not access the card.
In Settings->Storage it say: SD Card -> Available XX GB
But there is no statistics about what is on there.
The whole system is not able to pick anything up from that sd card without having root access.
Why?!
Go to recovery and fix permissions.

Thx, but that is not working, dude :/
Seems like Apollo was crashing because of one of my songs on the SD card.
The other situation is still there. No detailed information about the content of the external sd card in settings -> storage.
Maybe it is default behavior?!
Unable to see External SDCard
Via Win 7 PC, using USB, I can see 3 Drives on Motorola Droid Razr 1/Moto Drive 2/Internal Storage 3/External SDCard (32gb) I can see and access all files on any of these drives.
Once disconnected from USB, I go to Storage and CAN see the same above. However, when using any File Manager software, and not connected via USB, I can't even see the EXT. SD Card, and therefore can't access any files on that drive/card.
I recently received official JB pggicial OTA from Moto.
simpleeeeeee!
i too had this problem! galley, and music players were not able to access the data of memory card! i just put back all the data again after formatting the memory card! and it workedddddd... so simple!
hit thanks if i helped:victory::victory:
I had the exact problem. All I did was go into the "General Setting" from Settings, and changed the app from Safe mode to Root Access Mode. Hope this helps.

Even I suffered the same problem in my s2 cm11 kitkat..
What I did was:
Booted into Recovery --> Mount and Storage
Then mount sdcard0 and sdcard1
Just to clear something up, could someone let me know:
is the internal memory of the nook tablet (mine 16gb) not available whilst using a 4.2.1 rom? i cant mount emmc, only my sd card shows up when i plug into my pc, i cant transfer any files to emmc etc.
i have had a feeling that something isnt right, i cant download anything without an sd card in. sorry if this has been asked a hudred time before.
thank you's in advance for any responses.
Me
just realised ive put 4.3.2 not 4.2.1
Hello
I have a friend with a S2 and while looking thru the space he has and were apps are installed I see that there are sort of 2 partitions and one of them is set as a SD card! (There is no SD card inserted)
How does this work? And why does it suppose that one of the partitions is the SD card? When I try to move apps to the SD card, I cant because I think Android thinks it needs to copy to /sdcard but obviously there is no SD card inserted.
Thank you
This thread has a lot of good info re: partitions.
