Hello,
I transfered word document and other files on to my kingsten 2gb card. But my astro file manager does not show it? It shows up in my settings menu and says I'm using 200MBA of storage in SD card but does not show up in fold manager. Its formatted in exfat. Is that the problem ?

If you're using the stock kernel exfat is fine. As far as I know none of the current custom kernels are reading exfat (at the moment).
Your physical sdcard as opposed to the virtual one is located at /mnt/extsdcard.
I had a similar issue with ROmaur rom - moved back to omega... didn't seem to give me any such issues...
Ended up flashing a rooted stock kernel and it worked fine.

So how can I use the internal storage? I'm so stupid that I had forgot to backup the internal storage before I flashed the ROM...
I flashed cwm in Odin and rooted with team epic root tool but when I try to flash a Rom in cwm my sd card doesn't show up when I enter choose zip from sd card. My internal phone does. Help!

yea, niether is mine, I was wondering if it had anything to do with the size, its a 32g? I had been planing on posting a question here soon to ask about it? I always have to use my phone as the only choice when looking in CWM?
I am having the same problem. My ext sd is not showing in cwm. My version is 5.5.0.4. The same thing when doing backups. Only internal.
Twins! Minnesota baby!

Same thing here. Ext sd was working then I flashed the newest version through rom manager and now my external doesn't show up. The card it fine and worked prior. It also works in android

Seems like its the version of cwm

I saw this too. I had an external in and had to place it in both DCIM folders and it appeared in one or the other

I flashed 5.8.4.5 via ROM manager and everything is right as rain. Both internal and external show up now.
Hi mates.. i tried to swap sd card and internal sd by flashing zip from android development forum. Everything was fine..
But for now, i cant see my "real" internal memory, on cwm it says "failing mount sd", "not found android secure" etc.., and when i see music player i see double all of my mp3's..
Ps; I did clean install: once flash rom, then without first boot i flashed mod.
Any idea?

Is there anyone using this mod perfectly? And how?

Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

I'm currently running carbon ROM on my nook 8gb via SD card. If I was to download an internal version of a ROM would I be able to reboot to my twrp recovery on my SD card and somehow flash to the internal harddrive from there?

Alright. Once I flash to internal from my SD android I'll be able to just remove the SD card and run straight off the nook itself?

Yep, but once you flashed it will use the sdcard as default storage if you want to use the internal memory as default put this line in your build.prop under /system/build.prop (use root explorer or something like that)
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal 1
Paste it at the end of the file and you are done.

I've got a 16Gb SD card that I was trying to originally use but was having trouble setting up to do so. Could I just pop that in and use it for memory once I flash to internal? And also, if I was to back up my current build which is Carbon ROM, would I be able to restore to it once I flash to internal or would it not work since it was backed up through the SD build?

Once you change your recovery you must immediately make a backup using it. One recovery cannot access backups made by another recovery.

Weird enough suddenly I found all my external SDCard files have all permissions like:
---rwxr-x
Why !?? This happens to every file I copy onto it.
I needed them like:
rwxrwxr-x
so far, the only rough and long way I found is through Aromafilemanager and PhilzTouch recovery.
Yet I have to change the permissions one file at a time.
Can anybody help?
Sounds like a problem unique to you, I've never heard of it.
Flash the official stock rom, format your sd card in your pc using the industry formatting tool and test.
If the problem disappears then it was probably some combination of your individual setup.
Yep. Also ensure you haven't got any scripts running at startup. Sd permissions are set on boot and cannot be changed afterwards

Thank you, I'll surely restart from the beginning and report back

Which script could do that?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Any mods that mount folders or swap storage.
Otherwise, something built into the rom.

@boomboomer
which filesystem do i have to use in formatting extsdcard 8gb via pc? exFAT / FAT32 / EXT4 / NTFS ?
moreover, in this post and following on dev rom thread, it seems it's a normal behaviour... am i missing sth?
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4
Fat32 is the normal filesytem.
If it's common to your rom then your chef is the best one to approach, he may have set a script or mod.

I read through about 7 pages of sd card issues on the s3 and thought i cant read anymore, so i thought i would just ask. I've just bought an s3 and i got my 64gb sd card from my old phone to my new one. Problem is i have data from other games in the SD and titanium back up files in the externel sd card. Seems the S3 has its own built in SD card and only reads from that. I copied my TB files from externel to the internel. Now the games still require Extra files although they are in the externel SD. So how in the world do i get it to read my Externel sd instead of my internel? I thought of copying the files but i have 16 gb internel, 64 externel so its not gonna work considering i have 39 gb left in my 64 gb one,
