I have an AT&T locked x10a, I'm running 2.1 and it reads my sd card just fine. However as soon as I flash a 2.3 rom (custom or stock) it fails to detect my sd card. However xrecovery still reads it.
As soon as I flash back to 2.1 the OS will detect it just fine.
Any ideas?
i think the permissions of SD card in 2.3 is not assigned properly !! u might check the permissions
Do you mean going into xrecovery and selecting fix permissions?
I have tried that and it didn't work

no not like that to use a file xplorer like ES File Explorer or anythin which can access the Root Directory and check the permissions of SD Card thru it !!

Oh, yeah I tried using ES file explorer and went to /mnt/sdcard but it was empty.
Edit: Also whenever I flash a new kernel or rom with flashtool the program detects the sd card and reports the correct file size.

hi guys.i use latest cyanogen mod nightly i am rooted ofc but with the default cyanogen file manager and with couple of others i tested i cant move files to root of the sd.i am s-off btw any solutions?
Just drop the file on your SD card, don't put it in a folder, that is the root of your SD card.

first of all thanks for fast response.i want to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145 so i need to put a file on init.d folder
You will need a File Manager which supports System Folders. That folder cannot be found on your SD Card but on your internal memory. Examples are Root Explorer and ES File Manager. The default File manager and others like Astro wont work.
indeed it worked.thnx a lot

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 guys, I've run into a problem. I'm on Resurrection Remix 3.0.2 (jelly bean) and before flashing the latest version of the rom I tried to do a nandroid back up. I had done this numerous times with no problems. Anyway, I tried to back up to external sd card. The back up crashed since there wasn't enough free space and the phone rebooted itself. Since that happened, I lost access to my sd card. I can't view my pic gallery and lost some apps. ES file explorer says there's no card,even though there is. I tried flashing the most recent rom version and tried rebooting of course. Nothing worked. Solutions?

Yep, I tried that too.
i have faced the same problem , the whole problem is that in AOKP the external SD is mounted to emmc instead of external_sd ,( i know that's a pain in the neck ) but there is 2 ways to overcome this :
1)search for an app on xda called remountSD
2)or just use directory bind here is the guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568

Thanks, but I can't download the remountsd apk because there's no sd card. Ironic, but it stinks.

can't u just connect ur pc and copy this apk to your internal sd card using mass storage mode
or even go to the link from your mobile with a browser like chrome and download it directly to your internal sd download folder (/sdcard/download)
by the way external sd is found in (/emmc)to get there u need an app like root explorer
Hi
I have same problem in my Sony Xperia tipo. i have install this APK in on devices. it's called "REMOUNT" just search in play store. After install follow the step...
In option just select
/mnt/ext_card
then click on remount logo.
It's Done !
PLs can any one tell me where can i get CUSTOM ROM for LG E400.....
I got One CM9 nightly but dat doenst detect External SD CARD
Pls help....
Interesting I have no problems with accessing the internal and external SD card, did you buy a new SD card?, Have you checked that it's formatted under the right file system?, and that it's the right type for your phone?.
It does detect ......but.. to access the files download es file explorer ...enable option upto root. ..
Goto root
Mnt
extra-sd
And there are all the files.

You shouldn't need a Root explorer to access the files on the phone since I have no issues without using a Root explorer maybe he just needs to download and install a file manager from the Google Play Store.
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 )
