Hi all
I'm new to the whole Android world. Although after a bit of a research I managed to root my phone and installed the resurrection rom for my sgs2.
All is fine with the new rom except that my SD card contents aren't visible in the file manager. But if I connect it to the PC it shows up just fine.
It would be real helpful if someone could give me a solution.
Thanx.

Have you read the FAQ for the rom?
« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?
This time the manage the external sd it's different way, now the external SD it's called /emmc, there are your files. You can access to this folder with any file explorer (even the stock one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.
« ¿Ok, but then how set my external SD like "external_sd" instead of "emmc"?
You can test this app made by gundalbert: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=30625

If you have troubles with the featured methods, at reboot the problem persists and you can't see anything on external_sd, please check this post by ggs2:

Hey all,
I've been flashing Villain ROMs on my SGS2 since I got it a couple of months back but today I have come to flash the latest and found that CWM Recovery can no longer browse to the External_SD folder, it's there and I can select but it just refreshes the directory listing and doesn't take me into it.
Never had this before so I'm a bit stumped? While flashing (using the internal memory) I've seen messages in CWM mentioning that it can't read EXT-SD, seems its lost sight of it?
The SD works just fine once the phone is running though, can browse and copy to it quite happily.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Maybe i missed it but i have never seen CWM with external SD card .

Strange, it's certainly been working on mine, force of habit I always copy my ROMs to the external SD (as my Desire etc. didn't have internal) and I carried on doing so on my SGS2
External sd is not accessible in cwm on my phone

Same here, it's driving me mental... CWM shows it in the directory list but if I try to select it it just refreshes the list.
Edit : External_SD is actually a folder on the internal storage. I found this by connecting to my laptop and looking at Drive G, which is the internal. I found the External_SD folder and made a new folder called 'test' inside it. I then booted into CWM, browsed to the folder listing and opened External_SD and there was my 'test' folder... I have no idea how you access the external from CWM.
I have double checked no external sd card on CWM for me .
So exactly where was the setting on yours .

You're really starting to make me doubt my sanity now, due to your comments I am now down to 90% sure that I used to save things to the external sd and flash from there, I mean I've flashed every VillainROM for the SGS2 going and yesterday was the first day I had an issue.
Could it be a radio or kernal issue?
I was coming from XXKG3 and Ninphetamine 2.0.2. Maybe the previous to those allowed it but doesn't since their release?
No ext sd here. Cwm won't enter etx folder for me

Anybody running the CF-Root kernel still? Up until recently I was but am now using Ninphetamine, could be kernel related?
Nope ran all and ever ever seen external sd card on CWM .
jje
When you say that do you mean you've never seen a folder called external_sd when browsing or it just didn't go anywhere?
I'm in the same boat. I used to copy all new roms and .apk to my external and flash them through cwm but since using Ninphetamine I can choose external sd but it seems to be empty. Not a big deal just created a new folder on internal memory but it would be nice to be able to back up the external again.
Same here. CWM stopped reading my extermal SD at some point. I used to copy the ROM zip file there and flash it from there. Suddenly I cannot do it anymore??
-J-
Suddenly my S III cannot see Ex. SDCard files! & it is showing an icon of sd card in the notification bar.
Going to settings>storage the card cannot be seen & the only available option is <Mount SD Card>!
I tried to get out my card & connect it to my tab. Unfortunately it is not seen as well which is pointing a problem with the card itself.
I also added a different card to my S III. it could be read normally!
I think it is clearly a problem with the card itself, but I wonder what might have caused it to happen! & if there is any way to restore saved files on the card.

Hi
1) You have a corrupted file system on your SDCard. Why ? I don't know. To solve the problem, try using one computer with Windows because SDCard use FATfs (completly support by Microsoft)
2) You have a broken SDCard, and no chance to restore your data. Sry !
Thank you!
You are completely right. Trying it through a normal windows PC is a good idea. I'll post back results once I do. Thank you again!

I have a rooted i9300 running Paranoid Android 4.1.2. My problem is when I use my root file explorer to move my nandroid back up made with rom manager to my external SD card and go look for it when I'm in recovery mode I get the message NO FILE FOUND when I select it. The title of the back up is there but apparently there is no file there!! I'm a touch confused as I have another SD card I keep all my ROMS on just to be safe and they were all moved there using the same root file explorer.
move the whole folder
I'll give it a try, cheers.

FAIL..!!! lol
I moved the whole folder again and it has made no difference!! majorly confused now.
Gonna just try and copy the folder and move the copy to my external SD card. Kind of defeats the purpose of what I was trying to achieve by having all my roms and back ups on my EX SD to keep space on my internal storage lol
Make a backup on Ext SD card then copy previous backup to the same location .
jje
To clear it up, try copying the whole clockworkmod folder, not the whole backup folder
Will give all of the above a try thanks folks.

I know this is an age old question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was wondering what my best option was to get apps and/or their data onto my microsd card. I've tried the method with Directory Bind, but I wasn't to big a fan. Just looking for a point in the right direction, for the easiest/quickest/best method.(I have already rooted my phone, so rooting isn't an issue)
Also while I'm here what's the best method of free tethering, again with the rooted ability.
Same here! I've tried the foldermount method and using shortcuts with the root explorer in Rom manager to no avail. But, for someone with some knowhow, I've accidentally got it to work with Spotify. I don't know for the life of me what I have done, but between hours of using the above to methods, Spotify is now on my external Sd card. I can uninstall spotify, wipe data, cache, the whole nine yards and when I reinstall, boom, straight to my sd card. I can reformat my sd card, and when I install spotify, it will create a folder named Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder. on my sd card. All the songs i download goes in the same directory just like it did under sdcard0 on the internal memory. But now, I can't replicate this at all. I'm trying with zedge, but no luck. If I find anything, I'll post back to this thread.
I downloaded a couple of apps,but when i open ES file explorer i cant find the apps,it suppose to be in the download folder.I did check in the sd card0 and in the ext sdcard and no lock.

First time I tried with Directory Bind I was able to move the game file to the sd, but when opening the app it requires downloading the files, so it can't find them in the new Directory. The next time was short lived because I couldn't find files for most recent app

Anyone know how I could find out where the apps were installed to. I'm trying a different method but I can't find where the app was installed
?

Doesn't titanimum backup allow this? I've never personally tried it but I thought I saw a move app to SD card option.
From what I understand this cant be done on JB.

Hi,
I need to copy large amount of files from my PC to the phone and preserve the time modified for the files.
I've tried all the solution I could find on xda forums such as:
using adb push
using adbsync
using localsync app
using quick pic app after copy and activate "fix date" function (didn't do anything)
Every time the result is the same, the modified date is set to the time of transfer,
I'm really out of ideas at this point.
help?

I dont have sd card :\
And forgot to mention i also tried installing several ftp servers on device and transfer the files with preserve timestamp command. But apparently ftp servers for android does not support MFMT.
Do you really need the date? And I think it is modified because they just appeared on the SD Card. it's like saving a doc file for the first time. Try rebooting into recovery and mount USB Storage. I've seen that so it moves everything how it should be. For example, I can't move by just connecting the phone to PC any kind of zipped ROMs. Try this and then come to report

Hi Andrey!
Tried you're suggestion and result is weird.
First of all usb storage is not working in CWM recovery, Iv'e read that its broken since version 6.0.1.0.
So i just used adb push, and then this happened (looks good..):
* please look at attached photo (I'm new user and therefor cant post links :|)
but then i reboot device and files are just not there!
tried search with root user and its just gone..
For me it works. Used it in the morning. You can try latest Philz or TWRP.
