I'm currently using the Hydrogen ICS ROM, but whenever I hook my phone up to my PC using USB, only the phone internal storage shows up, and I can't view or access the SD card storage through the PC.
When I was still on a Gingerbread ROM, I was able to see both of them as separate partitions.
What's the reason for the change, and is there a way to work around it?
This is a answer i found in the resurrection rom, many thanks to Ibsonic
01) Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from google play
02) Open app
03) Type these commando's (press enter after each line)
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp
reboot
and you will have MTP with sdcard again, be patient, the drivers will load and install automatically
Had the same problem as you described. You can give it a try
Again thanks Ibsonic
Resurrection Rom 1.3 Camera issue & SD Card Issue!
All,
i've experience on Resurrection Rom 1.3 Camera issue & SD Card Issue!
1) Only review internal storage on PC
Answer: You can download from Google Play - Multi Mount SD-Card Lite
2) Camera FC.
Answer: You can download from Google Play -Camera ICS+
i'm not sure weather this will work, but i once encounter issue where CWM won't read my external SD card, after going through all the trouble, i found that a quick format for the SD card in "setting->Storage->Erase SD card" does the job.
Do make a backup of your SD card content.

I upgraded to the most recent Batista70 rom, and after that to the CheckROM (from the old Leomar revolution ROM).
I can access the internal SD card in every possible way, except I can't move apps to it. Every time I try it says "Your phone does not have SD card. Insert SD card.", even though in the Manage Applications menu, on the SD Card tab it shows all the apps that can be moved to the card as well as the correct storage underneath.
Debugging is off. It's a fresh install. In the Storage menu, it refers to the internal SD card as "USB storage" and to the external SD card (which I have none) as just SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use a different rom. For some reason I believe some roms have bugs. I had this same issue with barista hence I moved back to checkrom
Copy files to pc then format the Sd card the move the files to your sd card hope it work !

I installed checkrom 3.0.0 based on XXKJ2, and will now try to install 3.1.1 which is based on XWKJ3.
The strange thing is, even in CWM recovery, I can install zips from the sd card, but it has the option to "install a zip from the internal sd card", and that doesn't work, so I'm afraid even CWM is reading that as the usb storage.

That is strange indeed. Now the only thing left to do I suppose is to reflash via odin before flashing a custom rom.
Format SD Card
Format your SD card, first copy all your files to your PC. Then wipe all data and install a new rom
Just flashed a stock rom, albeit not it's first (which was from July), and the problem persists...
I filed a bug report on the Checkrom bugtracker here: bugtracker. checkrom. com/ view.php?id=31 (can't post links, too new a user)
I'm guessing it's not a problem with their rom anymore, but if they solve it, good for everyone...
It's really strange because I can read the SD card perfectly, and it even shows on the pc when I plug the phone in, but some applications, like camera and microphone can't record on it. The economist magazine accessed it without problem and downloaded into it a couple of issues, so... strange...
I normally use Sammy based ROMs like Neatrom or checkrom and i usually save pictures and .zips to my external sd.
However, when i switch to AOKP/AOSP roms, i noticed a couple of problems:
1) Gallery doesnt show pictures because my pics are in external sd
2) Stock Android camera doesnt have the option to save pics to sd card
3) external sd folder itself is empty.
4) The phone and sd card is viewed as an entertainment device when plugged into my laptop, as opposed to being the normal MTP usb drives. This means the files on my external sd card do not show up.
I think all these happen because my data in the sd card is not being mounted properly. Ive tried using remountSD apk and it does mount my external sd properly, which allows me to view my external SD using ES File explorer, which solves issue 3. However, it does not solve: 1) gallery still doesnt see my pics. 2) Android camera still cannot save to sd card. 4) Phone is still detected as entertainment device.
This is one of the biggest reason for me to not use AOKP/AOSP roms.
Any help or explanation of why these things happen would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Does anyone know anything about this at all?

What AOKP/AOSP are you using?
External SD issue
-Under ICS Aokp/aosp, your external SD card is mounted here: /mnt/emmc (use es file explorer to browse the root of your phone)
-under JB Aokp/aosp, your external SD card is mounted here: /storage/sdcard1
Gallery Issue
Visit this thread for solution
Android camera
-Android camera cannot save to SD is a known issue for AOSP camera app.
-If you are on ICS, download Camera ICS, which is the same Aosp camera app with all these functions you need eg SD card save. You can also try other alternatives.
-If you are on JB, download Camera JB+ which is the same JB camera with many more functions you are talking about. you can also try other alternatives.
Connection to Laptop
-entertainment device means your phone is connected as MTP instead of Mass storage mode (you got it wrong there)
-to connect in UMS mode instead of MTP, Go to Setting>Storage> press menu for options > Usb computer connections>select Mass storage
solved
Thanks Joke, you've helped me understand these issues alot!

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

I had a problem with my SD card and then I thought I solved it as mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601340 but later I found out that I can't download anything despite being able to browse the net. Then my Titanium Backup wasn't able to perform a routine backup saying "there isn't sufficient space" while there is sufficient space. Swiftkey also began to give the error "unable to load language packs". On the other hand, my file manager "xplore" can still open SD and my PC can access it as normal. Is there a connection between all these problems and is it SD card the main issue? Please help. I have xperia x10 mini rooted running android 2.1 E10i.
I forgot to add that the camera also cannot access SD card saying every time I press camera button "please insert memory card".

is ur rom or kernel custom or only rooted official rom and official kernel?
Android 2.1 is the official rom. Custom roms are usually higher, but thank you. I managed to format SD card but this time from the phone itself. Of course, after copying data to PC. From the phone settings/SD card & phone storage settings, go to Unmount SD card, then Format SD card option is enabled. So you can format it the way your phone likes (don't have to wonder FAT32 or FAT16). This can be better than your computer to format it or even the SD company "SD formatter".
Hello,
I am trying to remount my SD Card, so I could fix the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error on the playstore.
But the problem is that when I try to unmount it on Settings > Storage, options are greyed out and I cannot press it.
So if I scroll down on the storage settings and I go to the SD CARD section, it shows the Total Space which is 1.84GB, and available space, which is also 1.84GB. Doesn't that mean my SD is in fact working correctly? The only option I see is Mount SD Card. But that option is grayed out and I can't press on it.
I have tried formatting the SD card from my computer to FAT32. Still same problem.
I can also put movies, music etc onto the SD Card, and yes they work.
Now i'm just confused on why I can't remount my SD Card.
Any ideas?
thanks

Okay, so I tried the steps, and no errors were found...
But when I go to Settings > Storage, my USB Storage has been detected as a Internal Storage. So now it says I have two internal storage, and no SD Card and USB Storage.
Before I tried the steps, I had 1 internal and 1 usb storage
