Hey guys soive been looking around too see if anyone is getting the problem where the sdcard isnt able to mount for some reason. idk whats happening but if anyone could help that would be great.. i rooted my defy and installed bootmenu but for some reason it wount mount the sdcard.
and i think i just put mydefy in an infinate boot loop. does anyone have any fixes for these problems? it would be really helpful.

Pull the battery out for 10sec and reinsert and retry.. it could help..

If you're talking about flashing .zip's in Recovery mode, you just use the "Install zip from sdcard" option instead of the "Apply update from sdcard" option to flash your update files.
As for the sdcard mount problem;
What exact model is your defy?
Can you mount the SD card from the launcher via; Root Browser or ROM Toolbox?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when the phone is at the Launcher?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when your phone is in Bootloader mode?
I think I had this problem a while ago but a Quarx nightly update fixed it...

[Q] Moving files/apps to ex sd card

Hi, I managed to root my phone a few days ago 1 of the reasons I did this was being able to move/install to external sd card. I have a few apps (app 2 sd pro, x-plore and astro) but cant seem to find any options to move files/apps to external sd. Does anyone know of an app that can do this or any info on how to do it with the apps I have. Thanks.

Well, actually i don't "move" them to external sdcard since my 16GB microsd IS my internal sdcard so i can play big games and etc. You just need a modified vold.fstab
Check out my dropbox folder and download the modified version

Then flash the zip using custim recovery

and if i do this.. will i lose clw??? or somthing really imortent?

No! If you format your sdcard before flashing a ROM there will be no ROM to flash after the format.

except you can't mount storage on the nexus in recovery
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

Alternatively you could clean flash first and then format the sdcard after.

Some recovery don't support mounting the internal memory. Try the following command:
Code:
adb push /path/to/file /sdcard
It will put Your file in internal memory.

not that's the problem, it worked yesterday. The problem is that the phone can't recognize the sd card, the file manager, the pc, the storage settings can't see it. I can't watch my photos or listen music or take pictures becouse it says that the sd card is disconnected but it can't be becouse it's internal

Pleease help!!!

So You are saying that You are not able to mount sdcard at all? Like use it through file manager on phone or access it on pc? Did You try mounting it from the recovery? Try this app too.

The app gets installed on "Data" partition, not the "sdcard", so You can install it. Install it using the command :
Code:
adb install app.apk
to install Your app using adb.

That was an option, but I thought getting data back was Your aim. Anyways, glad it worked out!

Can't find internal storage in TWRP once external SD card is merged with internal

I used the Marshmallow feature to merge the external SD card with the internal memory.
I decided to flash SuperSU but when I rebooted into TWRP I could only see the root directory and I'm not sure how to get to the internal storage. Looking at it in Solid Explorer it appears that the internal storage should be at:
/storage/emulated/0
but the storage folder doesn't seem to be in the root directory when I look at it in TWRP.
Any ideas?

Internal storage is mounted under /DATA and /SDCARD in TWRP.

Tested this on Marshmallow with the external sdcard mounted as internal storage, but it isn't mounted there.

Same here.
How to mount Internal storage or SDCard formatted as Internal storage in TWRP ?

it may have something to do with the new way of handling sd cards in marshmallow

(I know this thread is old but have seen the question asked many times but not solved).
Have been using sideload for the last month - thought there must be an easier way. There is!!
Access /data via a file manager (as root) and copy the zip to /data . You can then access it via recovery.

Don't mean to be a jackass... But, what zip file should I move to /data?
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------
Wait, you mean whatever I wanna flash?

Yes, the CM rom zip, supersu zip or whatever it is you want to flash. Just remember to delete it after you've flashed it (or before you copy the next update there) so you don't fill up that partition.

Hey. If there is someone who can reply to this thread?
It seems there isn't any workaround yet to solve this problem

moving to /data works! thanks!
Wondering if TWRP will solve this file reading problem in the future. Also are there other folders that can be read in TWRP besides /data? Just wondering. Thanks.

hi guys,
i figured out this problem
1. reboot to your recovery (twrp)
2. click mount
3. enable mtp and click on usb (which is at the down left corner)
4. connect your device to your pc with a usb cable and load the files which you wanna flash .

that worked! thanks! after mounting the system and enabling MTP my computer could see both the internal storage and Micro SD as separate entities. I just put the zip file in the TWRP folder on my computer and I navigated into external_sd in TWRP on my phone to see the zip.

None of these solutions worked for me, I formatted sd as internal and cannot access it in recovery, and get error message using computer that file could not be copied.

Turns out in recovery my phone was ONLY able to access internal storage and not the sd card which was formatted as internal storage.
To fix this I simply re formatted the sd card as external, unfortunately losing the data on the sd card.

What you described is normal.
When you activate adoptable storage the internal and external storage become combined. There is no separate external sd card as it's all treated as internal.
In recovery internal would have also been external storage.

Ummm, if I had root there would be no need to flash supersu. And without root, I can't flash SuperSU. Wonderful.
@ahmed rashid, thanks for pointing out that the device can be mounted via MTP when in recovery! That saved the day.

If u have rooted device & Su then the path of internal storage in recovery must have, Select data/media/get into internal storage files & folder
I'm using OS 5.0.2 with twrp 3.0.2, this method working fine for me check it & thanks me later
