Hey guys, it seems that when I tap "sdcard" in root explorer it takes me to the onboard NAND. Any idea how I might get at my SD card?

If you look on the "sdcard" in Explorer, you'll see a folder called "external_sdcard" (or something like that). That's it.

Fyi you can view all mounted filesystems by running the mount command in a terminal.
Thank you!

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a dum question but i cant figure out what the issue is. I have a 4gb micro sd card in my Vegan Gtablet. I can go into es explorer and see the sdcard 2. I have been able to create a folder in that sdcard 2. When i take it out the folder is gone so i know that is the place i need to be. Anyways When i try to move media files from sdcard to sdcard 2. It gives me a error and wont move it. What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?
Any help would be great. Thx.
have you tried using Root Explorer to make the folder r/w? I'd like to understand the difference between the sdcard and the sdcard2. I have my gtab (vegan) mounted currently to my pc, and i see sdcard as empty and sdcard2 with files, but when i had no card in, the sdcard had the contents and sdcard 2 was empty.... Anyone have insight on these folders?
sd card2 issues
I am also running vegan on my gtab. my computer can not see sdcard2 (external card) but I can transfer files to it via usb drive using adao file manager. when I shutdown my gtab the files dissapear. Is there a fix that will allow us to use the sdcard2? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
I went and used root explorer and gave me error that its a read only system. Im trying to move media files from my built in gtab memory to the micro SD card? How can this be done? Help !!!

There should be a button at the top of the file list to change from RO (Read only) to RW (Read Write) file systems.
When i went into Sdcard 2 no such option. When i went to Sdcard there was. When i went back and held down on SDcard 2 and went to permission that is where i got the error.
Did you format the micro sd card correctly? I had some problems and then formatted it on my PC to FAT32 (make sure you back up your files on the card beforehand to your PC) and all was ok. I can transfer files to it via es file explorer or Astro.
vcs11 - your computer won't show your micro sd (sdcard2), only the internal storage. Disappearing files on sdcard2 seems to be pretty common. For a solution search the forum for ".nomedia" file.
Hey all,
I added a 32GB micro SD card to my view and (being a Windoz guy), I don't understand why it shows up under /mnt/sdcard/ as ext-sd. Is there a way to have it mount so that it is under /mnt/ext-sd? I guess I just don't understand how Android manages these things. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that, when opening any file manager, it defaults the view to /mnt/sdcard/ as a starting place to browse files. Does anyone else find this odd? Or is it just me?

If you use Astro you can set the home directory to ext_sd in the preference tab.
for some reason i my new SGS3 is not showing the external from within the internal "SD CARD" can anyone help?
If your in a file explorer goto the directory /mnt in there you'll see sdcard and extsdcard . The ext one is external and the other one is the internal

Try Astro file manager, it'll look something like this.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I may have a problem with my external sd card. When I plug my phone into my computer not everything is showing up. For example I have 395 pictures and only 23 are showing up in windows explorer. A couple other folders are not showing all the content either. Now, on the phone itself using solid explorer I can see everything that is on the card but on a handful of files the file extension is messed up (a pic has an extension of .jpg7673.jpg and when I change it I get a popup that says I can't rename because that name already exists). I have a class 10 64gb SanDisk formatted in exFat using Windows 7. Any solutions?
I have used the file explorer that is included with the phone which is cool and it gives me access to the external sd card along with the space that is included with the phone. I was wondering, while I was using Root explorer, I only see the sd card space that is included with the phone, how can I see the external sd card space?
Same here, Im going crazy trying to look for the ExtSdCard...Help Please...thanks in advanced...
go to /mnt in there you will see sdcard and extsdcard . Ext is external.

Hey all i just got my evo 4g lte and i rooted it asap. I just made a noob error and formated the internal memory of the phone when i wanted to format the sdcard my issue is im running cm10 and Its running great but when i open es file explorer I cant see ext_sd which would be the sd card mounted to internal memory as a folder. Is there anyway I can get this back cause i want to put files on my sd card not the internal memory.
Thanks for the help

Enable "Up to root" under "Root Settings" in the app, and your external SD card can be accessed at /external_sd and/or /storage/sdcard1.
