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

I assume you are trying to copy to the internal sd. The fix is the following:
1. Copy everything from your internal sd to a computer.
2. On your vibrant. Settings->sd card and phone storage->phone storage (which is internal sd) FORMAT
3. copy everything back
Done
If you are trying to copy files larger than 1-2gb there is no fix. It just doesn't work with this rom...

I had the same problem with AOSP 2.2
I download SD_fix.zip and flashed it and now problem solved.

Certain apps tend to save data on the phone's internal storage which is named "sdcard". So in order to trick those apps to save data on my external sdcard(sdcard2), would it be okay to rename the "sdcard" to "internal storage" and rename "sdcard2" to "sdcard"?
Would that cause any problems?
I like to keep my apps stored on my phone's storage and keep everything else (music, videos, pictures, browser downloads) on my actual sd card.
do it in windows explorer; i renamed mine and it works well still
Could you explain how you did this. I have tried a couple different ways and i am having no luck renaming my sd card file.
I am sure with custom roms we can swap the mount points if we want.

But that's not renaming the folder itself as the phone sees it, that's just modifying what the computer knows to call it in Explorer when you hook it up.
OP, I tried changing it myself and it wouldn't work. I don't think it's possible until root comes along and we can modify file system data and the like. Sucks, and it's stupid that HTC thought it'd be a good idea to name it SDcard, but we're stuck with it for now

Not much worse than moto bionic Havering internel storage as sdcard, and the actual SD card, sdcard-ext.

That's the exact case here. Internal storage on the Rezound is "SDCARD" and the acutal SD Card is "SDCARD2" or "ext_sd" - those two folders are mirrors of each other.
I know this is an age old question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was wondering what my best option was to get apps and/or their data onto my microsd card. I've tried the method with Directory Bind, but I wasn't to big a fan. Just looking for a point in the right direction, for the easiest/quickest/best method.(I have already rooted my phone, so rooting isn't an issue)
Also while I'm here what's the best method of free tethering, again with the rooted ability.
Same here! I've tried the foldermount method and using shortcuts with the root explorer in Rom manager to no avail. But, for someone with some knowhow, I've accidentally got it to work with Spotify. I don't know for the life of me what I have done, but between hours of using the above to methods, Spotify is now on my external Sd card. I can uninstall spotify, wipe data, cache, the whole nine yards and when I reinstall, boom, straight to my sd card. I can reformat my sd card, and when I install spotify, it will create a folder named Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder. on my sd card. All the songs i download goes in the same directory just like it did under sdcard0 on the internal memory. But now, I can't replicate this at all. I'm trying with zedge, but no luck. If I find anything, I'll post back to this thread.
I downloaded a couple of apps,but when i open ES file explorer i cant find the apps,it suppose to be in the download folder.I did check in the sd card0 and in the ext sdcard and no lock.

First time I tried with Directory Bind I was able to move the game file to the sd, but when opening the app it requires downloading the files, so it can't find them in the new Directory. The next time was short lived because I couldn't find files for most recent app

Anyone know how I could find out where the apps were installed to. I'm trying a different method but I can't find where the app was installed

Doesn't titanimum backup allow this? I've never personally tried it but I thought I saw a move app to SD card option.
From what I understand this cant be done on JB.

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
Did u recently flash a 4.2.2 Rom? If so ur files are now under sd card, 0 file

I did, but then I copied the files over to the new SD card directory and now invisible.

Try Root Explorer (Speed Software ) from the Play Store.
I think I have seen this addressed somewhere before but I can not find it.
I have just updated to KitKat and am using Freeza's Stockish rom. When I try to run a restore in Mybackup, I am getting an error that says, Unable to write to sd card. Make sure the sd card is inserted properly, is not connected to your pc, and is not full.
When I go into Es file explorer, it shows all the files there.
How do I fix this?
I also see in Titanium backup that is says sd card not writable.
I GOT IT!!!

I'm curious to know if there's a workaround for those who aren't rooted.

This seems to be a common problem on the deodex rom. I will post what I did to fix it. Just know when you go into a file explorer it is going to show 2 external sd cards. They are both the same, it just shows 2 now. You have to do a simple build prop edit with a program like root explorer. Just navigate to system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. long press on platform.xml and select open in text editor. Under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE...Add this entry... <group gid="media_rw" />

Yea, I tried @micmars xml edit, it worked to create folders on the SD card but I still couldn't save twrp files to my SD card in recovery.

I'm having this issue as well on official 4.4.2 rooted. Can't copy files from internal to external in both root Explorer and es file manager.

The fix that I found allows me to do anything with the sd card.
I get the error when initially trying to copy the files.. seems like the error rests with the internal storage and not the sd card.

Here's an interesting read.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/0...ote-3-android-4-4-problem-hits-micro-sd-card/
The "Problem" is not actually a problem apparently. Google actually designed KitKat this way. They are trying to keep as much as possible on internal storage.
I'm also on Freza's Stockish ROM and had the same problem. I can confirm that the platform.xml edit appears to fix the problem of not being able to write to the external SD.
But strangely, Titanium Backup still reports that the backup folder is not-writeable, but then when I run a backup it finishes successfully.

Same thing happened to me. I went into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik, and rebooted. Everything showed up properly then.
TWRP issue fixed by flashing the file located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471564&page=47 Post number 462.
