Hi,
I have a strange problem since installing CM 10.1.3 & the latest Dorimanx Kernel on my Galaxy S II. I can't access my internal SD card from the ROM, it's visible and accessible via the recovery system though. Is there any possibility to mount the SD card from inside the ROM again or can anyone give me a clue where to look for it?
Thanks in advance
go into recovery>mount/storage
try to mount
i hope it worked ;D

I can mount in in recovery mode, that's not the problem. I just can't mount it after the phone booted into the OS.
uhm, do you get the notifaction to format your internal sdcard, if not just go to settings>storage>go down and look for "format sdcard"
i know it says sdcard but it format your internal card and not the external, but there's one problem it deletes your app data (its just fresh app)
and everthing on your internal, so picture music is gone. but i think that is better than having a broken internal sdcard.
i hope this works

I recently took the the plunge and flashed my first non-stock ROM. Went with turl's CM9 Kang (v8). I noticed that the mounts are different than stock in regards to the internal storage and my external card. I understand that using emmc for internal and sdcard for external is more "proper", but it now appears that every app that wants to write data is writing out to my external card. Presumably because /mnt/sdcard was the internal storage on stock, but now is not. I noticed a setting under Storage->Storage Configuration called 'Use internal storage'. I found some mention of it in the dev thread, but would like to know what this does. Does it simply flip the mounts so that apps will write data to the internal storage? I would have liked to have just my music, videos, documents, etc. on the external and all the app data internal...otherwise that 11GB is pretty much going to waste? And, yes, I could just try changing the setting (currently off) and rebooting, but I'm not really interested in my apps resetting all their external data again. Looking for enlightenment. As always, thanks in advance.

What does this do? You'll have to excuse my hesitation when someone just says" flash this".
If you wanna to use internal memory as primary memory you have to flash this ZIP.
SDcard will be mount as emmc, internal memory will be mount as SDcard (the same like with any Blur rom)

Is there any program to switch that around?
I have programs that can only access sdcard (e.g. for audiobook listening). I need to place my external sdcard somewhere in the sdcard folder to be able to use it.
I have tried to adjust the vold.fstab, but it won't save the file after adjustment.
Hope you can help. Thanks in advance.
Right now, my vibrant can't mount the internal sd so im not able to use the internal sd at all. I tried flashing another rom, like from ICS Passion>ICS Slim but it didn't do anything. If I go into recovery, I can see all my files that I put on the internal sd before my phone couldn't detect the internal SD. I screwed the internal sd up because one of my apps weren't working right, and i deleted it using root browser. Afterwards, my phone couldn't detect it. If i go into the build.prop, it shows nothing about the internal sd and it being mounted so im not sure what to do right now. Should I try formatting the SD? My computer doesn't detect the internal SD and will ADB help? Any help will be appreciated

Did you wipe when moving from ICS Passion to ICS Slim? Are you restoring anything with TI or recovery when you do?
I wiped but I cant use TI because I dont have the internal sd mounted

Do you have a removable SD card you can try and see if that will mount?
My external SD card mounts but not my internal.

Can you go in storage settings and hit Menu and hit Storage configuration and see what you have checked in there?
Well I'm in storage but when i hit menu there's nothing there. All I see is...my internal storage? I thought the SD card that you put in was your external storage?...Well thats 2GB, then its my usb storage that cant mount? Sorry, I guess its my usb storage thats the problem because my internal storage and my sd card show something. its just my USB storage thats unable to mount. If i press "Mount SD Card," then it says "preparing sd card" and then "calculates" my apps photos and everything. But after that it stops, and goes back to "Mount SD Card". Its like my phone doesn't know how to mount it now?

It says Mount SD Card under USB Storage, or under SD card?

Try heading into recovery, plug in your USB, and go into Mounts and hit Mount USB storage, see what happens.
it says Unmount and go back...should i click unmount?

Can you access anything from your computer?
I can access the external SD card, but not the 16GB one
Edit:Nevermind, I can access it and look at all the files that i put on there. It says something about 0 bytes free and FAT32

When you tried changing roms, did you wipe everything or just data/cache?
I did wipe data and wiping cache.

Perhaps try wiping and installing CM9. It just stopped when you removed an app? Which app?
Alright, I'll try cm9. I was deleting swype, and after i did that by root browser it didnt mount anymore.
Edit: I remember i did try flashing a cm9 nightlie before i tried flashing ics slim and i got the status 7 error
Maybe try odining back to stock and going back then?
That's difficult, because I can't go to download mode easily. If i use like terminal emulator and try to reboot to download mode, nothing happens. Yesterday, my phone fell out of my pocket and when that happened the battery fell out. I put the battery back in and pressed some stuff I suppose, and I got into download mode. Im not so sure how I did that though...

You can't get into download mode from the terminal right now. What you gotta do is shut down, hold down VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time while you plug in the USB.
Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.

Hi
Since quite a while now, I don't have any way to access my External SD Card on my phone.
I just installed latest Slim Bean and problem remains, nothing is mounted, even under CWM it can't mount /sdcard
My card is working well in my friend GS2 so I don't really understand what s happening. ANy idea how to fix this ?
Cheers !
I suggest you save the contents of the sdcard to your computer and then reformat the card through your phone, it might then be recognized by the phone.
If it is recognized simply copy back the contents from your computer.

The card isn't shown anywhere in the phone . I can't erase it from the phone so !
I did not say erase. reboot into cwm recovery - mounts and storage and format ext sdcard.
use the adapter that came with your sdcard to copy to computer.
If it is not recognized in recovery, there is a problem with your rom.

I can't mount the card under CWM ... but card works on my friend S2
Hello,
I have installed Cyanogenmod version 10.1 on my S2.
The rom looks good. I only have one problem. I can't access my external SD card.
When I go to system, storage I see there the SD, and how much of it is filled, but I can't access it in any way nor any installed sw.
I have a backup that is on my external SD, when I want to do restore, I can't since it will not see the external sd.
Can anyone please help me?

Happened to me on both internal and external cards women first booted. Try booting again, keep the screen alive while your phone boots up. It worked for me

Go inside storage and there u will find the sdcard0 and sdcard1
For me it says sdcard (Internal sdcard), and the extsdcard (external sdcard). But you can find them in the Storage folder.
Happy New Year.
Thank you friends,
I might have not understood you all...when I go to file manager or mybackup-pro, I can't see the external sd card (nor the sw see's it, nor I with the file explorer).
Only when I got to system/storage I see that the device see's it (I can see the storage of the sd and how much is filled).
However, I can't access it, nor my sw installed.
Please let me know how you resolved it?
Thank you,

Ignore the built in file manager and install "File Manager" from Google Play and use that instead.
Same problem here.
Using another file manager will not solve the problem of Apollo crashing if you have music files on that external sd card.
The whole system can not access the card.
In Settings->Storage it say: SD Card -> Available XX GB
But there is no statistics about what is on there.
The whole system is not able to pick anything up from that sd card without having root access.
Why?!
Go to recovery and fix permissions.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thx, but that is not working, dude :/
Seems like Apollo was crashing because of one of my songs on the SD card.
The other situation is still there. No detailed information about the content of the external sd card in settings -> storage.
Maybe it is default behavior?!
Unable to see External SDCard
Via Win 7 PC, using USB, I can see 3 Drives on Motorola Droid Razr 1/Moto Drive 2/Internal Storage 3/External SDCard (32gb) I can see and access all files on any of these drives.
Once disconnected from USB, I go to Storage and CAN see the same above. However, when using any File Manager software, and not connected via USB, I can't even see the EXT. SD Card, and therefore can't access any files on that drive/card.
I recently received official JB pggicial OTA from Moto.
simpleeeeeee!
i too had this problem! galley, and music players were not able to access the data of memory card! i just put back all the data again after formatting the memory card! and it workedddddd... so simple!
hit thanks if i helped:victory::victory:
I had the exact problem. All I did was go into the "General Setting" from Settings, and changed the app from Safe mode to Root Access Mode. Hope this helps.

Even I suffered the same problem in my s2 cm11 kitkat..
What I did was:
Booted into Recovery --> Mount and Storage
Then mount sdcard0 and sdcard1
