OK so basically I went from gingebread to jellybean by going to ICS in between. Whilst on ICS I noticed that the internal SD card wouldn't mount and in recovery it showed all of the file folders that there should have been but nothing in them. Now I'm on jellybean its the same. Is there any way to get it back to normal without going to stock?

check in file explorers for EMMC that will be your ext sd, if it shows up that way, look for an app on xda called RemountSD that will make your ext sd be shown as ext sd instead of emmc

I just get this.
OK what's happened is that the two files that I put on the external SD card are in download and nothing is in the external SD card file. I just need my internals back.

Update: I can't take a screenshot of notifications but that other screenshot I took, in notifications under the screenshot it says SD card is currently in use and shows a USB symbol although my phone is charging from a wall socket.

Try...from that screen press favourites, hopefully your get this (screenshot)
then press the phone icon and hopefully your get (2nd screenshot)
from there hopefully your find all your stored ext sd files in the emmc folder. If that is the case the i would recommend finding the RemountSD apk on xda, it saves alot of confusion finding your files

Only thing i can suggest is if its nothing is in your extSD folder in that area then as a long shot, try fi ding and using the RemountSD app, do a search on the xda forum, it should be easy to find, once its installed tell it to remount and hopefully that will solve your problem and everything will be found on ext sd
this is the link to the app, hope that helps

Thanks for the help but the apo didn't do anything because I think the locations are wrong. I'll try reverting back to stock gingerbread or ICS later...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No probs, hopefully someone will be able to help out more, i've not used any JB roms yet, if your looking for something custom but close to ICS the neutrino rom is quite good, comes with the remountsd aswell, i've not had any probs so far over the last month or 2 using it

Try ics sd binder first and see if that helps

Ok if it helps when i go into storage instead of internal sd card it says usb storage.

Can you access it from recovery, mounts and storage and back them up to a pc. Not practical but at least you might salvage your pics.
Also I used ICS SD binder with no problems, you have to change the file path from emmc to extSdCard though otherwise it won't find it.

Apparently all it needed was a factory reset/wipe data.

Edit I was wrong. Basically I wiped and rebooted into f1 pure gnex rom. Went into camera and behold my 500 pictures were there but all blank. I then rebooted again and they all disappeared.

Hi my wife has a galaxy S2 but today the phone stopped being able to read her 16gb class 4 San disk sd card. I took it out and tried mounting it in my s3 but it didn't see it either.. She has loads of precious photos on it. Can anyone give me any advice as to what has happened and how to fix it? thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try mounting the card on a computer, preferably a Linux machine. Then backup the photos and other important files and reformat the MicroSD card.

hi guys, i accidentally wipe my phone (using Android Revolution super wipe script) without backing up my photos and videos. So i need to know is there a way to recover photos and videos from the internal sdcard? Any help will be much appreciated!
Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately data recovery is not possible from internal SD card due to the file system it uses. But hope that there is some way I'm not aware of and you can get your data back.

It works only for FAT32 formatted external SD cards. Does not work on internal card.
It's a paid app for using all features so consider this before spending money.

Has anyone ever used a sd card recovery tool/software to recover data lost? If so which software and how successful were you in recovering the data? Thank you in advance for any input or advice.

Just to clarify, are you talking about restoring a file that was deleted? If so, try Recuva.
Or are you talking about a physically damaged SD card?
Yes attempting to recover pictures etc. that has been deleted from a healthy sd card.

like mdmower said, Recuva works well.
Some memory card manufacturers have their own recovery tools that may or may not work better than Recuva. Most of them require purchase, but have a free trial to see if your data is in fact recoverable.
I have used recuva to retrieve deleted pics from my sd card as well. It was able to save some but not all.

I'm using a 32 Gb Class 10 card from my S3, removed everything S3 related and installed into my S4. Now today I take a pic, browse my gallery, then haven't touched my phone except to text (about an hour goes by) . I go back into my gallery and it's empty. Music? Gone. Same for videos. Check my SDCard via root explorer. Managed to locate thumbnails, that's it, no other media. Yet all my files and programs that I saved to it to keep handy are still there. ANY ideas? Or ANY way to recover the lost media? I'm not sure I even have everything as my laptop crashed at one point after I backed up my card last.

What ROM are you on? You might not be formated correctly and the phone won't be able to read it

You might have deleted all the data but you can get most of it back. As long as you dont put more stuff back on the sd card. Have you tried using your pc to see if the contents are gone?
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Not sure how I would have erased just my media and no other files but I'm at work so I'll have to check on my laptop when I get home. Most everything is backed up to one cloud storage or another but I'm on limited data right now and it's 20+ Gb

Im having the same issue with my 32gb on my mj7 s4. Suppisedly last year sanddisk put out a bad batch of micro sd cards. Go to their website and file an inquiry to get a new one. Thats what I'm in the process of doing. If a replacement renders the same issue try to exchange your device. Thats my next course of action.

Glad I'm not the only one. I just recovered everything and my XDA app went missing

Sure you didn't reformat it at some point? I know in Slim there is an option to format the sd card under Settings -> Storage. Perhaps you inadvertently did that?
Again, ONLY my media disappeared. Pictures, video, and music. ALL other files and folders were intact.
