Hi all,
I've had my Nexus since the first batch with the volume fix came out at Expansys. and i couldnt be any happier about a phone.
Rooted and installed Roms and everything was buttery smooth. UNTIL.
One day i hooked up the phone to my Windows 7-64bit machine and all i can see in the explorer were the default folders that came with the phone first day i hooked it up.
I mean everything is there i can see everything in ES File Explorer, tried it also in my other XP system, same dilemma.
I know nothing is wrong with the drivers on both computers since am not new to this rooting, ADB and all. This is my first internal storage phone other than an iphone.
and nothing is wrong with the ROM since i wiped data/factory reset in CWR and reflashed MCR ir10. Everything is 100% except this annoyance.
I cant even backup everything since i cant drag and drop the needed files. So formating everything WILL NOT be an option.
Please if someone can tell me what am missing, i would be very grateful. PLEASE HELP. Thanks all in advance.
Well technically gnexus uses a protocol called MTP for file transfer which has a cache that updates periodically. It should reindex after a reboot. You can try wiping cache in cwm and using SDrescan from market to force a reindex.
Since I use the Galaxy Nexus, I have never transferred any files using pc.
I always transfer wirelessly via wifi using es explorer, or dropbox.
It works pretty well and fast.

If you wiped data/cache in recovery then there the mtp cache was wiped. Did you try a different PC?

I have the same issue of it not showing all the files in sdcard when connected. I am on a stock ROM. There was no way I was gonna try to transfer the files over wifi so I ended up using adb to copy the files. It's not ideal but it gets the job done.
I will also add my 2 cents,
I have the same problem on ALL of bigixe roms from 4 - on...
I have given up trying...
You mean just adb pull the whole mnt/sdcard?? or is there another way to do it??
Hate to be the guy that points out the obvious, but if you go to Settings/Storage/Menu/ is Media checked?
Good luck

It depends what you want to do. You can pull a whole folder or specific file. I would not pull the whole mnt/sdcard if that's not what I wanted. I don't see any reason you would do that except if you wanted a backup of your whole sdcard folder.

MTP wouldn't work if it wasn't selected there in the first place... The problem is that it's not indexing new files/folders for some reason even if you try to force it to re-index.

Thats the point am trying to pull the whole sdcard, then i can reformat the whole thing. One thing i noticed after all this happened the benchmarks for disk I/O have been horrendous.
If someone tried to wipe the /sdcard/ will the rom itself get erased???
Same missing folders here. Try to rescan media with SDrescan and get FC of android.process.media.
What is this android.process.media I think its the culprit. Get FC even after restart. Don't know what's wrong? Can someone from the Devs help us pls

Here's the Panasonic Format Utility, is this can't format it your card is toast

My SD card reader seems to have stopped working today. When I reboot the phone, it states it is reading the SD card, and 1 second later it is finished. Now, I can't access any data on the SD card via system programs, music, gallery, movies, etc...
I can use ES Explorer and see and use contents on the SD card, so I don't think the SD card is corrupt. How can I check my SD card reader program and see if that is the problem? Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
Edit: I am using SleeperROM 3.0.0 and the only problem I am having is the SD card reader app isn't working on boot or after unmounting/mounting the SD card. I can access all files via PC or ES Explorer.

Guys, I've noticed this going on a lot lately across several devices and different platforms of Android.
I think something might be wrong, as in some type of infected app we're all using.
I can't think of any other correlation between the many people suddenly experiencing this all at once across several different devices, many different ROMs, and completely different versions of Android.
I had a .nomedia file magically appear on the root of my internal storage on my Nexus several times today, and even after removing it my media would not be recognized at all, as well as the file would return every so often.
Someone should look into this.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I looked throughout the root directory and did not find any .media files.
Is there a way to "reinstall" the system SD Card reader app that autoruns when the phone reboots or the usb is disconnected after a file transfer?
Mine runs for only 1 second then states "media scan complete."
I am thinking my SD card reader app went bad today, if that is even a possibility. The CPU and ES Explorer recognize and play all files using non-system integrated apps (music, video, gallery being the system apps).
Also, all the apps installed to the SD Card are running fine.

From https://twitter.com/clockworkmod
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
So even though CWM can read the SD card contents and install a zip file if needed it is a CWM problem? My CWM didn't update until today. I will reboot and see what happens.

Just an update. After the CWM update this morning and a reboot, the problem seems to be fixed now. The only other problem was that all my play lists on my music app were messed up. I had to restore data from Titanium Backup in order to get them to work properly. All good so far!

Hi, I have a problem with my patriot signature microsd 32gb on my 16gb Samsung Galaxy SIII which I use as a music and picture storage for my music player and camera
The phone is rooted and is running stock ROM and kernel
The problem:
1)when transferring music files while the sd card is in the phone, using a usb and explorer method of copying and pushing sometimes the write protected warning pops up, other times the file would copy but I could not find it in my music player/gallery, other times the file is present for a period of time but after a restart of my phone the file disappears.
NOTE: However, files that I have transferred using the microsd adapter and directly through the computer does not change at all.
2)On the default camera I have set up the external sd card as the default location for pictures, but when I take a picture sometimes the warning that "sd card cannot be located and default storage is changed back into phone"
3)On Android Commander when I try to push music files it always ends up as permission denied
4)When I try to copy music through the windows explorer this message pops up "the device has either stopped working or is not responding"
What I attempted:
I thought it was a formatting problem and so I tried to format the sd card using both my phone and pc into the phone's desired FAT32 format,
but the problem persists.
I have also inserted the sd card into the adapter and put the write protected switch up thinking it was a permissions problem
Is it a faulty card? or am I doing something wrong?
Additional Note:
1)I have both ES file explorer and Root explorer and when I attempt to change the permission on my external sd card which usually appears in ES file explorer as "rwx-rwx-r(blank)x" it always fails
2)When opening the gallery and trying to view some of the photos saved in the external sd card, it would appears as unable to load and just a black screen.
3)I also export playlists from itunes in m3u format and puts it in a playlist folder in the sd card but it would never appear when I try to see it in a file explorer, although using poweramp I can import the list, but the old ones that I have placed on the card is also present unable to find them or delete them in either the phone or the pc
I have really became desperate trying to solve this problem
Please help me
Try reformatting as exFat. Also I don't think you can change the permissions on the entire sdcard.
It could also be that the phone connects using MTP. There's an app here on xda called sgs3 easy ums. It will mount the card as a UMS device. Try transferring that way.
I think the sgs3 was intended to use the exFat format though.

That's weird. If it doesn't pick up your card then the problem might be more serious than you think. But how can you see the contents and be able to format it yet utilities like Easus and SDFormatter can't see the drive? Did you try disconnecting all USB flash drives, your phone or other devices connected to your computer first? Check explorer and see to it that your card is the only one connected with a drive letter. Go to SDFormatter, hit refresh and make sure the drive letter is chosen.
SDFormatter just fixed the problem I was having.
You said you were rooted stock. Did you do any debloating or anything else to it. I doubt its the case but maybe something needed was accidentally removed.
Have you tried running fix permissions in recovery or TiB?
Also, how did you root? Was it recent and did the card function properly before? If you used odin to flash a rooted fw, maybe it was a bad download?
If all else fails, you could try reflashing the full stock fw with Odin.

1)I didn't do any debloating for my phone, and how do you run fix permissions in recovery? or TiB?

3)So by reflashing the full stock fw do you mean I need to factory reset? or Is it possible to download the stock fw somewhere?

Sorry, coulda sworn you could run fix permissions in Titanium....
You should be able to do this in cwm or twrp recovery. May be in the advanced menu. You can install the recovery from Rom or Goo Manager app.
Factory reset wipes all user data taking you back to an out of the box state.
You can get a pre rooted version of the FW from here.

I had a patriot 16gb class 10.. when it works.. it's awesome should be called class 15 or something lol. However there were three times it randomly corrupts.. lost all my pictures and crap. A format usually fixes it. After the second time... i learned to put my photos to default internal memory. The third time i was no longer able to format it... couldn't move files in or out but i can open them?! I went with the high amount of 5 star reviews but should've listened to them 1-2 star reviews. They don't do well with phones. And your problem is a problem that occurred to me every now and then. Remember to back up your card frequently before it crashes!

ah, problem
so I tried followed the link and the steps to flash the fw
but I am encountering this problem of when odin is done and the phone is restarting the "process android.process.acore has stopped" along with touchwiz and poweramp.
I reflashed twice and the problem remains
I even cleared dalvik cache and regular cache and fixed permissions with cwm and rebooted but it still did not fix the problem
Do I have to factory reset now?
:crying:
I can't remember which app it is or if this is the one requiring factory reset. Can you boot and get to settings > app manager? If so clear data on google services framework. Maube also touchwiz home. (Can't remember for sure)
You could also try using the built in file manager in twrp. Go to /data/data and look for those folders and delete them. May not work but worth a try.

I can't remember which app it is or if this is the one requiring factory reset. Can you boot and get to settings > app manager? If so clear data on google services framework. Maube also touchwiz home. (Can't remember for sure)
You could also try using the built in file manager in twrp. Go to /data/data and look for those folders and delete them. May not work but worth a try.

ya thanks for the advice but it didn't work
From what I can tell the only solution now is to do a factory reset
anyways so why did the fw not work for me?
i even made sure i downloaded the correct wind one
at least now maybe with the factory fw i can make sure the external sd card works?
so factory reset is done
external sd card still does not want to work via "my file" folder creation
I don't know is it broken? I would like to try another sd card but I need to find one
although I did test it with h2testw and no error message popped up.
It wrote and verified fine.
Sometimes left over data can cause problems with a newly flashed system. Odin didn't wipe your apps or data and something was left behind that conflicted with setup or something like that. Sorry it came down to that man.
Ive heard a few times over the past couple years of sdcards working fine in one device but not at all in another. It seems rare and I'm not sure why it happens, but it can.
Only way to know for sure is to borrow a known good sdcard and try it. If it also doesn't work then its most likely a problem with the phone. If it works then you probably need to replace the card. Maybe take it to the store where you got it and let them try. That way if it doesn't work you have a witness that can note your account of the issue.

thanks again for the help
So whenever I try to flash a ROM I get the following error:
E: unable to open zip file
Erorr flashing zip '/external_sd/Infamous_S4_v2.5.zip'
Updating partition details
I've had the problem since yesterday and have searched different threads with the same error but none seem to have a solution.
I've read that it could be the file and I have since redownloaded the same ROM several times and downloaded different ROMs and all give the same error.
I've ODINed back to stock and re-rooted and reflashed the TWRP recovery.
I've formatted my SD card which was a HUGE pain but it was one of the suggested ideas in the other threads.
And I STILL get the same error. I have no idea what else to do. I was fine on Infamous s4 2.4. I wiped and flashed 2.5 and i lost my status bar. Someone suggested to download and reflash and that's when the problem started.
I got that error, as well
What I had to do was to download it on a computer and use a cable to transfer it to my phone.

i tried this and no luck
Have you tried flashing it from your internal card?

I would venture to say it's a bad download. Maybe try downloading again?
Ive downloaded 3-4 times. I've also tried other ROMs. I tried to go back to Infamous 2.4 it wont flash. I flashed the google edition and it did work. The wicked rom also works. But v 2.5 and 2.4 of infamous don't flash.
I did not try flashing from internal. But I guess since I got wicked working I will just stick with that

Can you browse through the zips either through a file browser or on your computer? I kept getting that error with Faux kernel a while back. Thought I'd try to browse through the file on my computer and it would tell me it was an invalid file or something of that sort. I downloaded the same file maybe 8-10 times before I got one I could open; coincidentally enough, the one I could browse was the only one that would flash. What I'm saying, if you can't open the file, then it's a bad/corrupt file; regardless of whether you've downloaded it multiple times or not. If you CAN open it, then the problem would lie elsewhere.
Check your recovery and make sure its updated
I had same problem. It's a bad download. I got it 3 times from same rom and was determined to get it to work. Either download to computer or if using your phone make sure to download from different links. I couldn't navigate through the zip either. So maybe it was a bad upload or download.

You guys are right. Even though some I downloaded on a computer, I just tried opening with root Explorer and the files wouldn't open but the good files did open. I guess that was it all along. I've never had so many problems downloading roms before. Wish I had known before wiping my phone and sd card lol

I have been having the same problem ever since I downloaded and flashed the GE 4.3. I can't even restore my backups that I have been using just fine before I flashed GE. I have noticed however that the problem only exists with my backups on my external SD card. The one backup I have on my internal is the only one I can restore. I don't think its a bad download problem, only because it's causing my MD5's on my external to mismatch, when I never had that problem before GE. I downloaded Infamous 2.6 4 different times to my computer and none of them have worked. I really want this as I like the GE (not Jamison's Rom GE) but it just doesn't give me what I want. I want Infamous 2.6. HELP!!:fingers-crossed:

If 4.3 changed external file handling again, you'd theoretically get that response again until you wiped both external and internal storage so it could be set up as 4.2 format again. Just backup both to your computer and move things back afterward.

I don't see how it could be GE4.3 doing that. I flashed 4.3 a few days ago and decided to go back to TW; my backup worked perfectly. All of my backups work and all of my flashable zips work. I store nothing on my internal storage; it's more like temporary storage until I move it to the SD.

I havent had issues with backups so far thankfully. I use titanium to backup and restore my apps. I've also never had any issues flashing ROMs before and I've been doing it for years.
As the previous poster suggested, it seems I keep getting bad downloads for infamous roms no matter what server I use to download. For now I have switched to wicked rom and like it.

Yeah, the backup problem is curious... not sure what could have gone wrong there, but the problems with downloading Infamous would most assuredly be a bad download. Would have nothing to do with the file system on the SD card if the zip can't even be opened on the computer to which it was downloaded.

After I posted, I was browsing my photos that I took last night of my kids enjoying the fireworks. I noticed that a lot of them were just not showing up in the gallery, and the videos would give me a could not play this file error message. So I thought maybe if I unmounted and remounted the SD card it would fix the problem, like it used to with my GS2. Well once I unmounted it, it would not remount. So I took it out and placed it in my tablet. Nothing. So I restored stock 4.2.2 and when I rebooted it said my SD card was corrupted and needed to be reformatted. I lost all my pics :crying: Oh well. that's the risk I run by flashing ROMS. So I am downloading Infamous 2.6 once again. Here's hopin.

Pop the card into your computer and format to FAT32. That should get it into working order.
Hey, guys. I'm looking for some help here. I've been having some trouble with a few recent ROMs. I try to do a full wipe and do a fresh install of the new ROM, but I get an error saying something about being unable to read the lost + found file. I think it was deleted somehow because I can't find it. Does anyone know how to get it back? Can I possibly just reinstall a recovery or something? I don't actually know where the file even comes from to begin with.
Bump. Really needing some help.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid back up?? (If any)
At least you can start your search for a solution with a working phone.

I don't have a recent Nandroid backup at the moment. My last one would take me straight from AOSP 4.3.1 all the way back down to TW 4.1.2 and I just don't like that idea. It's caused me complications before.
File explorer?

Have you tried using a file explorer and looked to /data and in there do you happen to see a folder named lost+found? Suggest using ES File Explorer to look through the contents of your phone.

Weird.. Are the contents of each of them the same?? If thats the case then it may have occurred when flashing roms and an not fully wiping.

When I use ES, they are all blank and say 0b in properties. It always has every time I've looked at them, though and ice only recently had the problem.
