hi, im using a rhod210 tp2 and i recently switched from BLAZN to the apparantly more stable newest Reference. I formatted the sd and installed it and im having some problems.
1.)My SD card isnt found? i cant download because apparantly (no sd card is inserted) when using astaro i can browse and play files on my sd but the music app cant see the sd and neithar can download.
2.)the rhod210 arrow keys keymap which was fixed a couple rootfs builds ago is wrong again. And it seems im on the latest rootfrs so im not sure how they can be unfixed. Unless der has been a mistake in updating the rootfs database or maybe my startup utility is acting up.
EDIT: 3d gallary doesnt find my pic either but im presuming thats because of the problem seeing the sd card

Did you not see this thread...? It covers the exact same issue. As for your keymap, check your startup.txt.
my startup.txt is fine because the alt and caps key work, just the directional keys which used to be fixed
also sry no i didnt see the other thread, my only access to xda is through the xda app and it doesnt have a search function sry for duping on the sd card matter i will check out the other thread
EDIT: no use im using xdandroid cab installation version so their is no partitioning required, i have also tried formatting already. And it works fine in winmo.
Hi Jandyman
I think you have missed the point of the other post. Lots of people have had the problem you are describing (not me thankfully!), and all of them or nearly all of them have resolved it by formatting their SD card fresh using either the HP tool linked to if you use Windows, or gparted if you use linux. The reference to partitioning wasn't relevant.
As for the fact that it works fine in Windows or Windows Mobile, again this is not relevant - this is what the other people with this issue have found too.
Reformat using the right tool (anything but Windows or Windows Mobile pretty much), and try again. Good luck!
And I forgot to mention... a/ there is a search function on the tapatalk XDA app (look under More at the top), and b/ it wouldn't hurt to browse the current threads in this sub-forum.

Having said that, I just used the search function, and it is even worse than the one on the website! (Is it heretical to criticise the forum tools?)
I searched for 'rhodium touch pro 2 android can't see sd card' and didn't get a single relevant result

That may have been a little too specific of a search dude...
Try to search just the TP2 Android section, and be much more vague in the search terms.
To the op... no pc? How do you update everything, just directly on the phone?

Ah, bummer. Well take the rhodium out at least, but either way searching on the full forum is much easier/better solution...
tanx for the replys arrggh and snalbansed. I formatted my card right before the problem started. But it mightnt hurt if i try with another tool. And unfortunatly i tink i mit need a new micro sdhc,my current one recently corrupted somehow misteriously and couldnt be read (I/O error) so that was why i formatted and then the trouble started. Well first il try another fresh install of the latest xdandroid package, just in case it mit work then. Not likely but worth a try
but the thing which puzzles me is the sd card can be seen and read by the astro browser. music can be played as long as it is selected through astro, apk can be installed through astaro da lot. Just every other app cant seem to read it?

Well when we're at the stage where Android is flashed, in theory all of the issues with the SD will go away. So until that comes... I wouldn't worry about it.

First, please post questions/problems with sov's utility in the proper thread.
Second, this may not be a problem with sov's tool, you haven't explained yourself very clearly.
If I were going to hazard a guess, do a full format of your card with the HP tool and try again. May want to start with a clean build as well, but feel free to back everything up and copy it back to see if that alone fixes it.

Thanks for the reply arrrghhh, but I didnt state the problem was with Sov's updater, just that i used it, now my SD card went missing....I have used his tool in the past with no issues at all, that's why im posting here instead of there.....to see if anyone else has the same problem, giving that i went to his post, and didnt see anything like my problem.
that said, sorry about the lack of info: rhod400, using FROYO 2.0, 700mz oc, booting from the SD card. When haret boots, I see a series of commands that say "omit folder: Android Apps,Android media,android program files".When i go to the market to DL an app thats on the SD card already, it shows a progress bar saying my item is downloading, even tho its not on my program files list. I navigate to the show phone and SD card storage menu, and SD is blank. Never seen this before after an update. Was running the Nov. 11th prior to this, everythig working great. Any help would be awesome, as I really dont want to reformat and start over
thanks guys for helping a Noob, this is truly an awesome community where everyone just want to help, with nothing asked in return. again, thank you
Did you even try what I suggested?
I just received an e-mail from Zeedomax over at GalaxyS3Root.com with a fix for the App2SD problem on the Galaxy S3!
This will allow you to install apps to your SD card on your GS3.
I just picked up a 64gb SD card and will be enjoying all the extra space for my apps!
Here is the link: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
Much credit goes out to Max for his awesome help on Android!
*Note, this does not use the "App2SD" app, it is just a mod that will swap where your phone stores data
Should we wipe and reinstall apps in order to take advantage?
I think that you can uninstall and then restore with Titanium Backup.
How's the performance with using the SD as the main memory?
I'm planning on using my 32gb class 10 sandisk.
feedbacks?
I didn't use it for very long because I still have room with the 16 gb that came on my phone. But when I did, it worked fine for me. I have a class 10 sdxd. If you don't like it though, it's super simple to switch back.
There thread in s3 development already??

if i recall this is old news now i believe bout 2 or 3 weeks now......that theyve had this already, under android developement section i believe in the second page, but this is still good for people that dont kow and still wanna find it.....only problem bout this is that their is a issue with some phones that when u install this it will swap the storage but ure internal desappears thus leaving u with just the external as a new internal, so u cant access ure real internal anymore due to the lack of support.
there is a way to fix this just follow the instructions here: give thanks to android94301 for figuring out how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849861&page=5
As Promised, Solved: another way to do it using Script Manager
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't invent this, Zedomax adapted in from mattiadj. But most people haven't been able to get it fully working, probably due to variations in the init.d function of various ROMS. They'd be able to see the External SD card as the internal SD, but the internal SD would disappear. This method avoids using init.d, and instead uses the app Script Manager to load the script on boot.
After much fooling around, I figured out how to do it so the External SD card and the internal cards are swapped, but you can see both with any file Explorer. I got it working on CleanROM 2.0, but it should work on Beans 10 as well.
Here's how to do it: Warning, if you do not understand the following instructions, or don’t have experience doing these things, you probably don’t want to do this hack. I am not responsible if you a) brick your phone, b) delete your data, or c) get very frustrated. That being said, the most likely failure will be that you only see the one card (the External card).
Back everything up that you care about first!!!!
1. First, I'd recommend making a Nandroid backup of your phone.
2. Next, just to be extra safe, I would backup your internal SD card to your PC. While you are doing that, if you have data on the external SD card, back that up too.
3. Next, I would format your external SD card to fat 32. (You could probably use Ext format too, but I didn’t test that.)If you already have it in that format, and have content on it, this won't affect the content, but back it up just to be safe. It’s probably better to have the Ext SD blank to begin with, you can always copy back its content from your pc.
4. Next copy the contents of the internal SD to the External SD card. This is to avoid confusion about apps and such.
5. Next install script manager free from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...51bGwsMSwyLDNd
It will show up on your phone as S manager ads.
6. Download the mod from here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/G...EDOMAXv0.2.zip
7. You’ll see a folder called: 11extsd2internalsd_gs3_fat32orextfat_US_ZEDOMAXv0. 2.zip
You need to unzip the folder, then go to System/etc/init.d and copy the 11extsd2internalsd file from there to your phone. Put it into the /data directory. Use Root Explorer, and your phone will need to be rooted.
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...0directory.png)
Or you can get just the 11extsd2internalsd file here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...tsd2internalsd
8. Using Root Explorer, navigate to that file in the /data directory. Press and hold the file name until the menu pops up, and click on permissions.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...ermissions.png
(Unix geeks set them to 777, and everyone else copy the picture below. Click OK.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...ings 777.png
9. Open the script manager app, and select Browse as Root in the config screen. Tell it to remember this setting.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...and save.png
10. Navigate to the /data directory and choose the 11extsd2internalsd file that is located in /data and click on it. Click on the “Is script” button.
11. Now tap on the buttons that say Su, Boot, and Save. The file name will come up in yellow after the save.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6305/SD C...ter save.png
12. Reboot your phone and you should see the swap working and be able to access both internal and external SD cards. The external card will show up as sdcard, and the internal card will show up as extSDCard. Your apps should now install to the external card, since your phone will think it's the internal card. Is that confusing? It was to me too!
Good luck and please share your experiences specifying which ROM you used, so that others can avoid frustration.
Thank you’s always appreciated.
This is not working for me but thanks anyways

***SOLUTION FOUND! I CAN NOW ACCESS THE FOLDER. SEE POST BELOW.***
Android File Transfer was working great up until a few days ago when it started to bug out, only for when trying to access the Camera folder on my exSD Card.
I can access everything else except when clicking on this folder the message pops up, which makes no sense because my screen isn't locked. (Screenshot attached.)
Could it be that the amount of pictures/videos on the exSD card is too much to handle for AFT? After all, it is a 64GB card...which is a lot of land to cover and load....hmmmm
I've tried this, but no luck.
Note: I'm aware of AirDroid etc...Personally I prefer to be plugged in direct via USB.

Not really a theme Or app question but I'll give it a swing.
Can you access it on your phone fine?
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way?
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too

Mod, can you move this over to the proper forum. Thanks.
Possible causes / Things I've tried:
I do have some pictures in an App called: KeepSafe, where you have to enter in a pin code to access those pics, so then I was thinking maybe this was causing the problem. So I entered the App and tried connecting, but darn...same old thing. Doesn't work and I keep getting the same error message as the pic I have attached to the original thread.
I have also tried to reboot in Recovery (twrp) and tried to mount the exSD, but still nothing. Here's the message it gave me:
E: Unable to mount '/usbstorage'
This is driving me crazy. Anyone?
cbucz24 said:

Can you access it on your phone fine? - Yes I can access it just fine through ES File Explorer. I've also checked the permissions.
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way? - I'm sure it'll work fine with a card reader, but that's not my preferred method. It's just frustrating for something to have worked and out of the blue stop.
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too - I've uploaded a screen shot of the message that I'm receiving.

Update 6/30/14
SUCCESS!
From the gallery on your phone, you can create folders and move (not copy) over pictures/videos and it'll be default save it to your phones internal SD card.
I didn't want to move all 4,000+ pics/vids so I just did it in little batches of 20 here 50 there and made just a few folders.
Then I connected the phone to my computer and accessed the Camera folder and....bam there it OPENS!
My theory:
If you have more than ~50% of your external SD card filled up then chances are your computer (Android File Transfer, for Mac users) will have a hard time trying to access that huge folder that is < 30+GB's ...
Therefore, you just have to lighten up the load on that folder so that it can be accessed with ease...
Pretty straight forward and simple.

It is more likely that they thought it very unlikely that there would be more than the old limit of 2,000 files in a directory so they didn't allow for it in the program code.

Hi!
Just updated my HTC One M8 to 5.0.1. I thought I would be able to R/W SdCard finally, but NO!
When I'm asked to grant access, I hit Grant, and then when I select SdCard (external) error pops up with : "Documents has stopped working". I used Solid Explorer (to delete or create folder), ES File Explorer (same), Quickpic (to delete picture). Of course "stock" File Explorer is working fine.
I tried: disabling Docs, G Drive, etc., uninst. updates and nothing helps.
Has someone got this too? Or is it only on my side?
Thanks!

Gutec solution worked really nice.
I have a HTC M8 (Lollipop) and i was fighting to make SD work with no luck ... neither from HTC.
And now a guy comes with one simple step and everything working as it should.
Why HTC or any other company didn't figure out this solution and didn't give directions that solve the problem ..... and Gutec i really wan't to know how you come with this solution?
Anyway thanks a lot
format it as fat32
it's incredible that you format an SD with Android, and still cannot use the card.
Format it as Fat32 and Label as discribed by gutec WORKS!
THANKS!
I've got to say that my SD card is in fact formatted FAT32, without any set label and I don't have any problem writing to it. I can't imagine the drive label being important for anything, unless there is some really weird bug in Android.
thank you so much
So simple. Just label the sd card and problem solved. Didn't figure that out yet, glad you did.
RE:
HTC M8 European version.
Android 5.0.1 official update.
No root.
Cannot write to sd card with 3rdparty apps. Except copilot, none are working.
My card has a label, tried formatting with phone and windows pc with no positive result, same problem persists.
what else can I do?
thanks to the post above my problem was fixed. Also its not necessary to format too(i didnt cs mine was already fat32 so i didnt bother). Just adding a label to sd card will do. seems Documents app cannot open the card while its unlabeled

Hi guys. If you did everything and still not able to see the card, you should try some extra steps.
In the "Grant permissions" screen use three dots menu and check "Show SD card" and after that you will be able to see it and selected. This worked for me.

It seems important that it is FAT 32 - if NOT Fat32 then you have to reformat to FAT32 ( I had a 64gb sdxc)
