Hi I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with the Resurrection Remix ICS v.1.9.1 ROM and everything went fairly well except that my external sdcard looked like it had been totally erased. While this was irritating it was not devastating (had a backup) but when i attached my sgs2 to my computer to copy the backup back to the sdcard i noticed that everything was there, i hadn't lost a single file. I went back and looked at the card via my phone and it still looks empty but i did notice (after further inspection) that it is almost full. I checked to make sure view hidden files was enabled, it was, but still nada (using OI File manager and File Explorer). I got no ideas would really appreciate any ideas on what i might do to fix this issue.
Cheers,

Hi, thanks for the quick reply but i had tried those things (I shoulda mentioned that, sorry). I have tried combinations of use internal storage and MTP but still not able to see the contents of the exsd card (haven't had problems seeing the card itself, just the contents on the card).

copy the contents of the sdcard to your computer, and format the sd card from your phone. Try again.

hi I tried to format it then copy a few things back on it but strangely it still shows up like it did before, that is, before there was one lone/empty folder that showed up (nothing else showed up through android, but i could see it via windows) but after i formated it, this folder (named "AudioBooks" that i had made before) still shows up when i try to look at the cards contents via android. This folder does not show up in windows, and nothing new that i copy to the card shows up in Android still.
Is there perhaps some sort of cache that i should clear as it seems to be showing me "bits from the past" (though also strange how it only shows me that audiobooks folder and not any of the 5 other folders that i had on there previously).
Any thoughts/ideas would really be appreciated!

Maka a backup and restore original rom, and see if the problem persists. If not, you should notify a bug to Resurrection Remix rom developer.
Similar problem
I have had a similar problem. Been using RR last few months and all been good. Since I updated to RR 2.2 could not access my internal SD card. I had a few backups and as soon as I restored 2.1 viola everything's fine.
Tried using Siyah 3.2.7.2 and 3.3.1 kernels with no luck.
Have tried wiping everything and doing a fresh install with 2.2 but same issue. Did you have any luck?
The thread says it all. I have a rooted EVO LTE running the CM 10. Everything was working fine until I accessed the SD Card from within TWRP to copy a file. Now I get errors when I look at the command line within TWRP "failed to mount /sdcard {Invalid argument)". Can anybody help me? Thanks so much to all of this community.

The only way I was able to fix this was to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it. I lost what was on there, but it's working now.
I formated my card through windows 7 and I still have the same problem. I never had this issue on any of my previous rooted phones I am really gettin pissed with the lte...

Are you guys also having trouble accessing the Camera? Mine doesn't seem to pick up my SD card and only allows me to use the Camera using external storage...
Well when I pull my camera up my phone days " no external storage available" then at the bottom if my screen another pop up says "insert an SD card before using the camera" I have my SD in....idk what to do. I searched the threads already but nothing besides some guy saying format my SD...I did that but now I have the same problem along with my pictures and music being erased.

Well you could have put the files on your comp first and then reformatted, but I am having the same problem. I guess we just gotta hang in there. It will be fixed soon I hope.
I'm having the same issue with the Aug. 31 CM10 nightly. I cannot access my SD card. If I look in system memory, it shows the card and the size, but I cannot access it, same as you guys. Trying with TWRP to wipe, it shows a bunch of e: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). Still no solutions?

I was able to mount the SDCard over USB in Recovery Mode and reformat it from my computer. Obviously I lost my data that was on the SDCard, but none of the apps I had running were affected. Once I did this and rebooted into CM10, everything was fine and I just made a fresh Titanium Backup of all of my apps. My previous TWRP Nandroids were on the SDCard, so they were lost, but I can always reinstall another ROM and restore my Titanium Backups and go from there. Hope that helps.
I had this same exact problem, but the external storage it is referring to is actually your internal sd card, and not the external.
What you need to do is go into TWRP and mount YOUR INTERNAL sd card (don't switch to external), and in windows 7 format it.

AWESOME! Thanks!
So I'm having a similar issue, except I didn't try to access the external sd card from TWRP. And yes I've verified its the actual physically removable card.
I can see it in the system storage menu. However when I try to access it in Estrongs, it's no longer mounted as ext_sd in the sdcard folder. I did some digging and found it's now mounted as external_sd in the root folder of the phone. Looking in the storage folder, it still shows up as sdcard1, and my internal storage is still sdcard0. This seems to have happened after I flashed one of the nightlies, like 9/1 or 9/2. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I'd rather not revert to my last backup, which was a Sense rom. I think this is screwing with the media scanner, because none of my sounds for alarms calls or texts work anymore

this is a work around for the HTC method of listing the sd cards, in my opinion HTC really screwed the pooch with the way they labeled the file system. The way sense accesses the external sd is through a shortcut to the physical address of the external sd. It really screwed with apps like power amp which had no problem reading both cards but if for example you went to power amp and marked what folders had your music by selecting the folders through the ext_sd folder shortcut it would read and list your music twice. another user who flashed cm10 noticed this (not the ext_sd file problem but the way CM10 was confused by the structure) and quickly wrote (then generously shared) a script that would rewrite the address correctly. I guess that a similar script (or that very same one) was introduced to the installer for the nightly builds
Wow thanks for the clear explanation. I too thought the ext_sd method was screwy, with all of my custom notification sounds showing up twice. Any idea on how to fix my alarm and call sounds not working? Can't afford to miss a day of class lol
This isn't definite as I haven't had to but going to fix permissions might help if some programs aren't recognizing the file tree
Welp, it was worth a shot, but no go. Ima keep tinkering. Thanks anyway tho
Well here's what I did after I flashed the original rewrite script, I had to factory reset (changes survived)and then wipe system, then reflash the nightly build (fastboot kernel for boot 1.15+)
Edit: I still have the shortcut folder on my internal however its not linked anymore so nothing shows up, everything else works fine
Ok, tried a full reset, wiped data, system, caches. Ringtones are working again, as are text tones. Alarms, still silent as ever... I'm so confused right meow
Sorry to hear that man
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to put CM10 on my Xperia 10, unsuccessfully.
My phone is rooted, I have the newest CWM, bootloader unlocked.
I flashed the latest Kernel for CM10 (v21), wiped data/factory reset, wiped catche partition, wiped dalvik catche.
When installing the actual ROM I got this message:
E:Can't open /sdcard/CM10-v9.4.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
I redownloaded the ROM, also downloaded v9.3 rom, still same message (with the name change accordingly, of course).
I formatted my SD card and tried doing everything again: flashing and installing. Didn't help.
I've searched everywhere in this forum for the solution, and several people found it, but it differs from phone to phone it seems, and some of the things I tried didn't work. I found no solutions for X10 specifically.
Any ideas please?
That means the download is bad, you need to re-download the zip.

you have to use cm10.4 rom and 21version kernal.

I guess either your ROM is broken (redownload?) or you need to disable script verification in the recovery.

Thank you, it worked - I was able to install CM10 9.4. However another problem now is present - when I try to turn on my phone, it gets stuck at boot animation (the circle with tha name Cyanogen inside). I have found a post that it happened to someone else and after flashing the phone with kernel20 instead of 21, everything was ok. I did the same - still can't boot. What could I try now?
Solved it: I flashed it again with kernel 20 (used Firefox for downloading it) and it worked!
One weird thing: I got a window asking to enter SIM network unlock PIN, which looked kind of scary. But I pressed dismiss and my phone works and feels like an entirely new device, speed has increased and everything is wonderful.
Thank you everyone for your help

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
Download from that web site. Accept the "End User License Agreement" and download "sdformatter ver 4 for your computer not for your phone". Install it and follow the operation manual that you can download too only if you want.
You will need an adapter (for the micro sdhc) to mount it to your computer. And, don't forget: format option: Full (overwrite) format, format size adjustment on. For instance I have 8 giga sdhc and the format time delayed about 3 hours. That is why I said to have patience.
After the format and the respective FLASH, install all your apps one by one from google play store. Do not use titanium back up or similar app.
Needed: Phone bootloader unlocked and rooted.
SD Formatter 4.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC
This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.
The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card.
I have read your aforementioned problem and I am for sure that it is due to a bad SDHC. You need to recover it. If sdformatter can not format (the sdcard) you have to buy a new sdhc.
Follow the FXP installation for the kernel and rom. All will be ok.
In the case that you do not follow the instructions, make a mistake or the third war world start for this recommendations, I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICKED UP DEVICES OR COMPUTERS! DO ALL THAT ON YOUR OWN RISK!

Without the tools and guides created by them my nook would be still in bootloop or with the stock B&N soft (eww)
My nook crashed after a TWRP recovery flash gone wrong (TWRP Manager), so i had to flash repart.img (stock B&N).
After that my nook was alive again but without touch (multitouch firmware installed).
Below it´s how i went from stock to CM11, but i'm not responsible for any bricked nooks so...
1.Using a disk partition tool, s create a primary FAT32 partition, and set it as active on the MicroSD that you will use to boot, and remember that the card will be wiped so don´t use your mom´s camera card.
2. A. Download (attached to this post) "NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip" and extract all the files to the root of your SDCard.

D. Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857 or
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The files in step 2A MUST be on the card root, B to D can be inside a folder but it´s not needed
3. Eject the card from your computer, and install it in your nook. Power it up.
4. It will boot and show the box screen then straight to TWRP 2.7.1.0.
In TWRP go to WIPE -> Advanced wipe -> Check all except Internal storage and Micro SDcard.
After it´s done wiping, go back to start screen and Install CM11, Gapps and last the flashable recovery.
Click reboot -> Power off
5. Remove SDcard from nook and power on.
If everything went correct you will see cyanoboot and after booting CyanogenMod.

Root?
I just finished updating my 16gb Nook Tablet with this guide, using the latest nightly CM11 build.
In the past, I thought CM builds are pre-rooted, but this isn't.
I rechecked my options in TWRP (bootable on an SD card) and CMW (installed on emmc)... I recall a brief moment where TWRP asked me about root access, but I don't recall where...
Can anyone point me in the right direction to establishing root?
Any input is appreciated.
(I suppose I could wipe and reflash if necessary as well)

So I am just coming into here wanting to root my 16GB Nook Tablet version 1.4.3. I have been looking around the forums for a bit and have not found a specific thread outlining what I need to do. Well most of them are old and I am not sure which ones to follow.
The first thing I need to do is establish root, but how exactly do I go about that. Most of the video tutorials are dead links. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks is an understatement!
In response to OP and idivorceyou:
I had a very similar situation myself. Read many/most of the other 10.x & 11 guides; all seemed to reference the same stuff. Could not get a custom card to work. Suspect that I had downloaded a bad .zip (or two). Found this guide and figured it was worth a shot. Card booted first try and everything worked as written.
Hope those looking for a quick solution find this post sooner than I did.
Has anyone successfully accomplished this installation on the 8GB Nook Tablet?
I've been having massive amounts of trouble getting mine to boot from the SD card. I'd like to give this a try if it will in fact work with both the 8 and 16GB NTs.

Thanks, digixmax! I know some things only work with the 16GB model and I didn't want to brick.
I'll get cracking on it.
So on a whim, I decided to try this guide to go completely CM11 on the Nook. Had a little trouble getting a bootable SD card, but worked that out. After the wipe, and then using TWRP to flash the nightly CM11 - it looked like it completed, but then gave an error saying it was unable to mount /bootdata. I repeated the flashing a couple of times and it still had that message. Flashing gapps and the flash TWRP gave me the same error message. But then after rebooting the device - it does boot to CM11 using the internal storage! It works OK, it seemed like it was freezing a lot and so I enabled Developer access, and then put a limit of "2" on background processes - that seemed to fix the freezing. But now, when installing some applications/games from the Google Play store, getting a message that I need an SDCard. I'm going to try putting in an SDCard later to see if that works...but wondering if we should have partitioned the internal storage? Its a 16GB nook, so maybe two partition with the last one being /DATA? Anyone run into this issue? Thanks.

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset"?

This issue of dependency on external SD in CM11 has been reported and discussed on these forums (e.g., just search the Official NT CM11 thread).
You'd need to go back to 10.1 or 10.0 to be able to run any app without an external SD.

Thank you digixmax! Yes, I did do a full wipe using TWRP (per the instruction in OP's post). And yeah, I put in an external SD card, it works fine now.

Just wanted to send out a thank you to everyone who continues to work on these relatively outdated devices. Although this thread is for CM11, I just loaded CM10.0 internally onto my wife's unused Nook Tablet (16 gig, v.1.4.3) as a gift for my retired father. I posted here because I used the TWRP boot files provided in this thread (NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip), and was previously having problems getting booted correctly (trying CM11 and CM10). I also used the general steps in Digimax's 10.x guide (e.g. backing up the old system, using the older, flashable CWM 6.0.2.x and GApps for CM10.0), and Succulent's final, supposedly quite stable CM10.0 (12/31) build (also pulled from another thread, not the CM site). Given my father's and the tablet's age, I figured system stability was more important than anything else so went with CM10.0 instead of CM11. Everything appears to be running great, cat videos and all.
A few newbie notes relevant to this process (for probably CM11 and CM10). I could not get a bootable microSD card working using Digimax's guide (see the error mentioned in his note i.b, although files did not appear corrupted by examining file size). I wonder if it had to do with the large microSD card I used (32 gig) -- I could swear I remember reading that bigger cards have some issues -- or the additional boot.img file provided by Rpadula in his NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip. When things did work for me, I had both set the partition size to 2 gb on the microSD card and used files in Rpadula's zip, so it is unclear what made the difference. I also ran into the mounting and zip installation error described above, but after allowing TWRP to grant me root access -- an option presented during restart after wiping -- and restarting the nook, the files installed fine (again, unclear whether or not root access or restarting made the difference).
Thanks again all!

For a noobie this was pretty straight forward for building the SDCard. I am in CM11 on my Nook Tablet! I am having one issue though and I don't know if this is the best place to ask - I am getting "Browser as stopped working" and "Google Account Manager has stopped working" anytime I try to login to my google account or even open the stock web browser. I have tried rebooting and wiping. I also did some digging and found this may be related to a webview issue and tried flashing a fix I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50122471&postcount=2161 but still no luck. Can anyone help me get past this bug?
Thank you for your work on this.

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset" while in CWM during the installation process?

I used the advanced wipe in TWRM as described in OP. Could it be related to a bad GApps zip I grabbed? The link in OP was closed so I got it from somewhere else (using gapps-custom-pico-4.4zip). Not sure if that could affect the Browser too though. Also, after every package I installed I got "E:/Unable to mount '/bootdata'. This obviously didn't affect me getting CM11 on there, but just throwing some more info out there.
Edit: I did a full wipe and reinstalled without GApps and I can't test the Google Account Manager now but the Browser works. What GApps zip would you recommend for this build?

I'd suggest you try the Gapps at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps (the "small" version should suffice), the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version..

That cleaned it up, thank you!
Not my first root and custom ROM install but first one in 4 years. Much has changed...
So, I installed TWRP backed up and installed Nougat. Now I'm trying to revert back to my original system but twrp shows only storage media Internal/external with small sizes and no content. However, in twrp file manager I can see all the folders and files in both internal and external sd card.
I had made a full backup of original Android 4.4.2 (~6GB) with latest twrp (18) that I stored on my external sd card (see screenshot, I hope everything is there!).
What do I need to do to be able to see the relevant file(s) for restoring?
I also have adb installed and it sees my Note II alright but I have no idea how I can use it to make twrp see and restore to my previous state.
If you can help please bear in mind that I'm not very familiar with most of the current developers stuff. Thanks.
If there's a problem with restoring from what I have, I would do a factory reset as I have also saved my most important files separately. I am reluctant though as I have read too much about bricking the phone doing that. Pointers?
Do I have a valid twrp backup in the first place?
This is the page whose instructions I followed. https://www.androidexplained.com/move-twrp-backup/
I backed up directly to external sdcard where a twrp folder with subfolder backups was created. I never had a path with media/0 something that I see people talking about to restore from.
Can somebody please confirm that I have a full backup according to the screenshot I did?
Ah well, live and learn. Just to say that I'm not the only with this problem and it's not phone related either. People with this problem post all over the net! However, iIt looks as though there is no real solution. I would have expected to have a full restore when I hit the backup button in TWRP! This is total BS!
I NEVER had any probs with CWM in the past and I tried a lot of Custom ROMs. It's a pity it's discontinued.
TWRP for your phone doesn't support restoring from external SD cards? That would be odd. I've always found TWRP to be vastly superior to CWM and have installed it on dozens of phones. Why not just move the subfolders to the TWRP folder on the internal storage? The main cause of this isn't the recovery as much as Samsung incorrectly namied the different partitions vs the way Google and custom roms based off of AOSP / CM / etc.
OK, I did the following: took another external SD card and formatted it in the phone. Did another backup with twrp. Uploaded my first backup into the same folder on SD card. Booted into twrp, wiped, and voilá, I found backup folder.
Was able to restore and it looked ok BUT! after seconds the apps one by one started stopping. Now I am in a bootloop with all the apps stopping. I can't get to anywhere.
So much for a "smooth" TWRP backup.
ETA: Finally, I also wiped internal storage and am back to factory settings. Thank god I had the sense to save important folders separately. It's really really important to chose more than one way to backup your files (I also did a myphone explorer backup before the twrp one).
