I flashed CM7 to my incredible, i did everything right. the things is when i went to redownload my apps it all worked, but when i went to put my music back on it said on the computer that it was working, but when i went into my phone it said there are no files on it. the music i added to my sd card got on it with no problems. also whenever i plug my phone into my computer it says my hardrive has the full amount of space. im on windows 7, running cm7 nightly 8, it has been saying this ever since i flashed cm7 rc1 on it though. help me out please and thank you.
It decided to work all of a sudden, idk. someone can delete this i guess. ill say something if it happens again

So, I've played with this thing for 4 hours and I'm about to throw it at the wall.
This is my wife's evo. I rooted it like a year ago when she got it. Shortly after she settled on a CM7 ROM she liked and I haven't touched the phone for 6 months or more. She used my Epic the other day that has the latests ACS SyndicateFrozen ROM on it and she now wants an epic because she likes the ROM so much. I'm trying to appease her by putting ACS' Elite ROM on her EVO.
I started by trying to plug her phone in to my PC, the one I originally used to root it way back when. The drivers are already installed on here. My PC acknowledges that I plugged the phone in, but I cannot view the file directory in My Computer. I then go to the phone and it says USB Debugging enabled, and gives me the option to disable. Neither way allows me to read the phones files. I've tried 2 aftermarket cables (not the HTC one). I've tried updating the HTC Sync software, although she doesn't use it. I also tried installing the HTC Sync software and drivers on my laptop and using that PC, same problem. I've thumbed thru the phones menu for hours and haven't found anything that is turned off that shouldn't be. When I plugged the phone into my laptop after installing the drivers, it acknowledged the phone, said installing drivers, and then confirmed drivers were installed successfully.
All I want to do is access the SD card so I can drop a ROM on it and reflash her phone. This is turning into a nightmare! The CM7 ROM on there now has been giving her random issues for the past month, any chance this is the cause?
I'm hoping there is something stupidly obvious that I'm overlooking.
Thanks for your help!
Reboot into recovery, while connected to your computer, and then select the USB-MS option. Your computer should recognize the card as a drive and give you access to it.

Some other alternatives would be to download the rom directly from the phone, pull the SD card out and put it in a card reader, or use one of the wireless file transfer apps found in the market.
I'm using King's Alliance ROM and have had that same issue on both 7.5 and 7.6 versions. I have one of those Sprint Battery Boost devices that allow you to put an SD card in them and use it as a jump drive, so I do that instead. I would use a simple SD adapter card but the sandisk adapter i have always says it's protected somehow and won't let me transfer ROMs to it. Sorry I don;t have a solution, but I feel for ya

This worked after 7 or 8 tries of toggling USB-MS. It finally connected to the computer saying it was only a USB1.1 device instead of USB2.0. Got the files copied, gonna wipe it tonight.
Thanks for the help!

so last night all of a sudden my ext sd card became unusable. Wasnt doing anything unusual, just put a new playlist on it....I removed it, inserted it, shut down, wiped caches, factory wiped, put in a different one (which phone read fine), then all of sudden it just started to work. Flashed to my backed up ROM and everything is fine...so this morning I get a MMS from a friend and there is a little button that says download. Never seen this before, but everytime i press is changes to downloading, then fails .So back to wiping, re installing gapps,used tweakker app,etc. All settings are fine. Cannot download MMS!!!?? I installed Go SMS and it works fine! no issues... so whats the problem?
Possibly not connected to the sd card in anyway but maybe?
arghhhh, so dumb!

Thank you!
After a couple of hours trying to find someone with the same problems as me I came up with nothing, so I decided to make a thread.
Firstly, I am no where near versed in device hacking so I am hoping these problems are just due to my ignorance.
My coworker rooted and loaded cm10 and teamwinrecovery onto my sprint GS3 and since then I have had a few issues. The most frustrating problem I am currently experiencing is the phone will not write anything to the external sd. There is no indication as to why this is the case. Under the storage option in settings it shows that it can read the external SD card yet programs seem to not be able to see that it is there. For example my camera will not give me the option to save photos to the external SD and programs like app 2 sd wont give me the option to transfer any of the apps to the SD card even ones that i know are supposed to work like Winamp. Also ive tried using DirectoryBind to change the directory of apps and music but I'm just prompted to create a new file because the data directory doesn't exist and asks if i want to create one. I tap yes and i am just prompted with the same error again and again.
My second main issue is when I dock my phone to my windows 7 PC I get an enigmatic problem. Either i get an error that says the USB malfunctioned and cannot be recognized and the SGS3 won't show up in mycomputer. Or, the default drivers install fine and the device will show up in windows. However, if i try syncing winamp or even dragging files over to my phone it will copy for anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes and then windows will freeze and if i close the process it will crash windows and/or winamp. I tried installing the samsung usb drivers but then i just get a device ID error and it wont show up.
I was able to find some people with similar issues but not the constantly changing one i have. All the fixes that have been suggested have not worked.
I realize this is more likely an issue with my computer than my phone but when i was running stock it would work fine.
If anyone can provide some insight into these problems or can direct me to someone with a similar issue it would be much appreciated.
I really like CM10 but these issues are deal breakers for me and I dont really want to go through risking bricking my phone in order to try and get back to stock but i will if it will fix these problems.
Flashed mySENSEv RC2.0 and going to keep it, as i finally decided the most suitable ROM for me to use. Anyway, I have a weird problem, after flashing, i had a little icon in bar which said "Phone storage is empty or unsupported files" and I was confused with this. I clicked it, and phone asked me to agree to empty PHONE storage. What happened? My SD Card got formatted... I am 100% sure it said do I want to empty phone storage. Anyway, i had most of my pictures and music on my another SD Card. I decided to download kernel and ROM again and now wiped the phone, flashed the ROM and finally got rid of that icon, as i thought maybe it was corrupted or something. Now when I got almost all my data from another sd card to this again, I have a new problem. My phone keeps saying on the music app "No music was found" and Gallery app "No pictures found". When I was on stock, when this happened I emptied media storage cache. Did it now too, rebooted and still this happens. Tried it few times. I am helpless, I can't understand what is wrong now. All was working fine before, even with this ROM before now! (I have been jumping through ROM's and this is the best ROM for me)
Edit: Oh great.. Found the reason.. Phone had emptied my Pictures, Music and Movies folder and I need to copy all the stuff there again. Hope it works now.
I am currently using a CM based rom on my S3, but this first happened on another rom too. After I installed a CM based rom that I am happy with, I formatted the external SD card and put a ton of music on it. I listened to the music Saturday. I use the paid version of PowerAmp that I've used for years... I get home from work yesterday and plug in speakers and all my music is gone again. The SD card is blank.. ugh..
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas of what would cause this?
Current phone status:
Android 4.2.2
Baseband L710VPBMA6
Kernel 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g5c3fd50
CyanogenMod 2.6b-20130404-d2spr
Thanks... any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Just to make sure: you're saying that the entire contents of the sd card are erased. If you open up a file explorer (or pop the sd card into a computer), absolutely everything is erased?
You say this has happened other times. Were they also AOSP roms? Did it only happen when using PowerAmp?

topherk, Thanks so much for the reply. I used freeza's rom shown in my signature for a pretty long time.. I was going to the gym after work regularly before Christmas & would listen to my music using the stated app. Work got super hectic.. I stopped going to the gym staying up late & working weekends programming & managing plant installs.. I think I update the modem this year & could just flash an update to the rom over the existing rom & wouldn't lose app or settings... I think freeza's last update was the beginning of March which I installed...
I have no idea if the rom or those updates are even relevant...I'm just trying to think of the changes I did... about 2 weeks ago when I tried to play music the app started to try to play multiple songs simultaneously. I had gotten hooked on a shooter game that you earned virtual $ for downloading apps..(I assumed that had more to do with problems than anything) The multiple songs playing would cause a force close of PowerAmp... So I knew I needed to "clean" my phone... I reset it to factory defaults.. wiped cache all the normal type stuff I done countless times since I rooted my 1st smart phone....
I apologize for the long reply...but since I had to reset everything...I thought I'd try a couple different roms.. I tried the Hyperdrivre rom but kept noticing problems.. I then installed the Avatar rom & spent all day last Saturday getting my apps back & all set up & running smooth.. love the rom & not having any noticeable issues..everything is working & I think I might keep this till I get my S4...seems like it will be a good rom when I pass the phone to the daughter..but after I got it all set... I loaded music back on the ext SD card.. I played cribbage with the wife that night & played music..I didn't do anything but controls program updates for my PA plant...I think I downloaded some new themes... but then came home after work to play some music while prepping dinner & my music was gone again...
When I look at it with Root Explorer it only shows "Lost.DIR" on the external SD card & I'm wondering... WTH? lol Even when I reset it to try different roms I didn't reset or wipe the external.. IDK.. weird... I can try putting things on it again. it's just odd..
Lost files again... Notification bar states 'SD card is blank or has unsupported file system' It wants to format it again... sigh... I can't wait till the S4 comes out..

This happened to me yesterday running cm monthly for april. Sd card is blank.. and internal Sd card is only showing a couple folders that get added back as I download things or such.. No idea what caused it. Ext SD card had all my roms and titanium backup, now only Lost.DIR
