Is the card mounting as read only, or is it not recognized at all?
it says unavailable in settings.but when i put it into the comp., i can see all the files.
edit:when i boot the phone,the preparing sd card message goes thru.but about 5 secs. later it umount and wont remount. tried it from recovery, and it mounts.boot up,and it umonts again........i was running myns.rls5.using a2sd,if that helps.
You probably have a corrupt file on the card. Put the card in a pc and copy all files to your hard drive. It will probably give you an error with one of the files and you can then see which file is corrupt. Delete the file off of your card and you should be good to go.

Try running files to check for a corrupt file on your PC.
If not, you can always format it and start over.

The WinAmp app tends to do this to cards as well, if you have it, or any other apps installed, make sure that they don't have some sort of automounting built into the app, as it jacks with the phone.

I rooted my evo and its been working fine, but I now have a problemo..
The SD card is mounted because I can see everything through astro, I can connect it to the computer and browse the sd card and see pix and music
The music player says "No music found" and the gallery wont display my photos.
Any suggestions? I dont want to format the sd card if possible. More info by request.
Thanks
Also when I take pictures theyll stay for a while, I dont know exactly when they disapear, but maybe when the phone is rebooted. They do although get saved to the sd card in the proper 100MEDIA folder
Would you happen to be on the sense 2.1 ports? That happens to me when I'm on them.
what do you mean by the port? I am using 2.1 tho. its been working fine for about 4 months
Take SD card out..copy contents, format SD card, copy contents back, insert SD card back..your problem should be fixed..if not, get a better SD card.

If you don't want to format it, try unmounting & remounting the SD card. You can also try manually running the media scanner. There are multiple toggle widgets that do this - Widgetsoid is my personal preference, but there are others. The dev tools app on CM7 also has an option to run the media scanner.
I think this is a rom issue & not an sd card issue. Backup your current rom, then restore from a backup of a different rom or try a clean install of a new one. If you choose to do a fresh flash, I suggest going with the stock rooted rom. If you still have the problem, then copy all of the files to your computer, format the card, then copy what you need back to the SD.
If it works fine on a different rom, you know the problem is rom related. You can try a completely clean install of whatever rom you're running right now, but it may just be a bug pertaining to the rom.
What rom are you on at the moment? Just curious...
honestly I cant remember. how to I find out?

Umm, okay. Go to settings, then about phone down at the bottom. If you don't know which piece of info is the rom - you should recognize the name - just post everything in that menu.

You want to make sure that you don't have a ".nomedia" file in with your pictures or music. Certain apps can automatically create a .nomedia file and place it in with your music files or pictures, etc. When a .nomedia file is present, that folder won't get scanned for media of any kind, therefore your stuff wont show up. I'm not saying that's definitely your problem, by any means. However, simply suggesting that you check your folders, to make sure that the .nomedia file isn't there. I forget which apps can create that file, but I know it can happen.
i used unrevoked.. which one is the rom in software info?

It may be named Rom Version, Mod Version, build number... I've seen multiple different wordings for it. Mine says "Build Number", but I'm on MIUI. It isn't baseband, kernel, model version, or Android version. It won't be only numbers, and it isn't PC36100.
Let me ask you this... have you flashed any roms through recovery or Rom Manager? If not, you're on stock.
3.70.651.1 cl294884 release-keys is build number
I just tried to install fresh evo 3.5 rom and when it rebooted it stuck at the white "htc evo 4g" screen

Hi all,
I am trying to get android to work on my old Tilt2 for my fiance so we can play games together. I've gone through all the steps by adding the correct files to the root of the storage card and running Haret. Every thing seems to work "fine" other than the fact that I can't see a storage card while in Android. I tried to partition my SD card to see if that would help but I am unable to determine the proper way to do that. Any help would be appreciated
Do you have some type of file manager installed on Android? I know that I could always see it, with the exception of the Android folder on my card.

I've said this 100x, not sure why it never shows up on people's searches...
But backup all the data on the card. Format the card (full format, FAT32) using the HP Tool. Restore all the data on the card after the format, or start over fresh doesn't really matter. Apps should now be able to see the card, etc.
I'm not concerned about apps seeing the storage card. I don't have a "My Files" app that will let me navigate the card. Do I need to download a file manager in order for it to work?
I fixed it.. I had to download a file management app I feel dumb now.
Which App?

Amusingly, I use multiple file storage apps. Super Manager for making system files r/w, and file expert for the look and feel. I have astro too, on my other phone, but only really use it for enabling all file type downloads from the web.

I am trying to wipe my virtual SD card on my LTE Galaxy Nexus and it is acting weird.
If I do a factory reset via the settings on the phone, it says it erases all of the files on the SD card. When I hook the phone up to my computer and view the files in explorer, it shows a stock directory structure and root. However, if I try and copy over a file that existed on the SD card before formatting, it says the file is already there and asks me if I want to replace it. If I view the SD card in root explorer, it shows all of the old folders and files, even though they dont show up in windows explorer. Also, if I boot into Clockwork and choose a .zip to flash, it shows all of the old folders and files as well.
I have tried using the super wipe lite script that comes with Android revolution. I have also factory reset the phone a few times via the settings. I previously had Android Revolution installed and I am currently running GummyNex 0.4.2.
No matter what I do, I cannot for the life of me get the SD card to truly reformat.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an ADB command I can do to reformat it?

There isn't any "SD Card" partition.
EDIT: Format /data cannot be done in adb, if you really want to do so just make a CWMR flashable zip with
Code:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata", "0");
in the updater-script.
I'm sorry man, I really appreciate the help but my Google-fu has failed me. Is there a template or something I can create the script from?
bumping this... same issue and its driving me crazy. i can't see any of my files unless i use a file explorer (or if i'm in recovery)

If you are having an issue finding your files from your PC it's due to the way Android exposes your "internal sdcard" via MTP. Download an app from the Market called SDrescan which will force the media services on your phone to re-index your files on the phone. Then they will show up on your PC.
thanks, but i've already tried that. it just sits on "scanning" for literally hours (i left it up overnight once just to make sure). any other advice?

I do not recommend doing this indeed. To be failsafe just delete everything in the /sdcard folder with an explorer app.
I use
fastboot /w
To do a full wipe. This will wipe /sdcard.

Are you on a ROM and/or modified kernel? If you are using Franco's kernel he has made modifications to how the "sdcard" works.

I have a Note 2 4G and I have a very annoying problem. About two weeks ago I downloaded the qualification for F1 at Monza. It is a file that is just over 4GB and now I just can't delete it. As soon as I press refresh it keeps coming back. I can't rename it though nor can I move it, all it does when I try to move it is that the phone makes a copy of it. The file is located on my 64GB SanDisk.
I have tried to use a bunch of different file explorer and even use the delete option from gallery.

Yes, by taking the card out and doing it via a card reader.

All other files work like a charm though. You would expect this to happen to more than just one file if the card is broken, right?

Yes no problem, both newer and older files.
No, filesystem corruption can affect only one file. This is especially the case if it's a very big file.
note that FAT isn't even supposed to be able to handle a file over 4GB.
Deleting it from a computer worked. Thanks to all of you.
Im running Quantum V3, 4.4.1 KitKat on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. Last night I played around with phone, unmounted SD card cuz I needed to check my battery drainage. After I remounted it, ESfile explorer says that sdcard1 has "Invalid path". Even tho in settings > storage, it shows that there is sd card and how much space there's left on it...
I did a clean flash of the ROM before if that matters. I don't wanna reflash it and arrange all the apps all over again...
Also when I check the sd card through the app folders, aka in storage/sdcard1, it shows files and everything. What could be the issue that I cant get it to work?

Probably one of the bugs with the latest update by PwnCakes. Maybe you didn't unmount properly, or try formatting the sd card and plug it in again?
I have the same exact thing.
Sigh, at least I'm not alone xD
And I didn't try formatting, got 27 gig stuff on my SD card and unfortunately no space on HDD to copy all the stuff :/
Shame I ain't got enough posts to reply in PwnCakes thread...
I think it might actually be a bug within the rom itself OR ES file explorer. I had this bug since I think a few releases ago
I have the exact same problem. Under "device", i have two copies of extSDcard. I also get the "invalid path" when i tap on sdcard1. I guess i'll wait for a fix, as i don't want to uninstall ES File Explorer, and reinstall, just to lose everything.

Temporary ES File Explorer Workaround for SD Card and Ext SD Card
Sorry it took so long. Just got done finals and had to get the bus. Below is the settings that you guys can use to make it almost as if nothing was wrong with ES.
Set your directory settings for Home to the External SD Card
Change the default window settings to the following: Sdcard, Home, whatever else you want loaded AFTER these
This will make it so that the first loaded 'window' of ES is the device's internal memory. Then it will load the external SD card as the second 'window'. As long as you check it in the proper order, it will load just fine.

I'll be honest with you. I check play d store almost daily to see if there is anything new with ES. I don't know. It might be a problem with the selinux transition from 4.3 to 4.4. It could be a million things but I think its just some back end code for the file system. :/

@grunt0300 if you really want, I can take a look into the permission.xml. however, no way I am making the commits to my device at the moment. All I know (without looking up the exact wording) is that in permissions.xml is a line for read external storage and that line is set to media/mnt/sdcard instead of storage/sdcard1.
