Hi,
On my DNA after installing a new Rom and copying some files around on my SD card, the files are now no longer visible using a file manager on the phone or when attached via USB to computer. But, I CAN see the files using the file manager built into TWRP. Any idea how I can make these files visible again from within Android? Is this a permissions issue?
Thank

Try Root Explorer (Speed Software ) from the Play Store.

hi guys.i use latest cyanogen mod nightly i am rooted ofc but with the default cyanogen file manager and with couple of others i tested i cant move files to root of the sd.i am s-off btw any solutions?
Just drop the file on your SD card, don't put it in a folder, that is the root of your SD card.

first of all thanks for fast response.i want to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145 so i need to put a file on init.d folder
You will need a File Manager which supports System Folders. That folder cannot be found on your SD Card but on your internal memory. Examples are Root Explorer and ES File Manager. The default File manager and others like Astro wont work.
indeed it worked.thnx a lot
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:

i don't get this. why my samsung doesn't allow to copy and paste games in a folder to my external sd card through mtp (which can be done a while ago) but it allows to copy/paste games that was compressed in winrar?.
i don't think its an issue of copying game one at a time.... i don't know why im getting that error when im copying games in a folder and not when it is inside the winrar..
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.

Has anyone had problems copying large zip files to their sd card?
I downloaded the 4.4.3 Bootable RUU zip file which is about 1.5gb from the forum and went to copy it to my sd card and it won't let me. It gives me a message... The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
I've checked the md5 to make sure it wasn't corrupt and tried it on multiple computers, made sure the drivers were up to date and tried it with different cables...ugggh
I noticed however that it seems to have something to do with the zip file. If I rename the file to .txt it will let me copy it...and I can copy other typers of files just fine to the sd card.
Any thoughts on this problem and a work around to get this file on my sd card?
Same exact thing here.

Well, I sort of have a fix.
As far as the rom is concerned, I just ended up downloading it via chrome and then copying it over to the root of my sd card using ES File Explorer which seemed to work
After I wiped my phone and rebuilt it, I did noticed that ES File Explorer also has some issues deleting folders etc on the sd card. I really don't know the reasons for all this other then I have heard Google is really moving away from suppot of SD Cards in phones.
Anyway, I was able to delete the folders using the native HTC File manager app.
Hope any of this is of help to you
If the fix wasnt implemented to read/write on sdcard,itll have issues....copy to internal storage and try to move too sdcard
