Hi, im having a problem writing things to the sd card. I CAN drag files onto it from the computer but i can download anything from the phone itself or view pictures in the gallery for example. I've tried flashing stock and locking / unlocking the bootloader but the device inst recognized! Any ideas anyone?

I just got a new 16Gig Micro SD Card for my Evo. I tried to transfer everything over from my old card using my laptop only to find out that not all my apps transferred to the new card. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix the issue? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!
You need to go into folder options(on laptop) and enable folder view to show all files, systems files and protected sys files.
Your copy/paste is missing some key files

Thanks for that. Anyone else?
Hi Guys,
I'm sort of new to all this Rooting/Flashing Process.
So any way I'll start. I tried to Root my HTC Desire HD the other day, but can't due to the fact the current stock rom that's installed doesn't seem to want to recognise the SD Card, as it think it's a Blank Card or Unsupported Filesystem. (Believe me I have no idea to get round this issue, as I've tried several Re-Formats of this SD Card, and I have tried other SD Cards, but if you put any in my phone then back into the PC, You have to reformat it so you loose your stuff) So basically any SD Card you put in My Desire HD, Screws it up. Meaning after you even try and format it on my Phone or even a PC, you loose all of your stuff straight away.
Anyway back to my question. Since I'm unable to Root my phone, Am I able to just download ROM Manager from play store, and Flash the recovery so I can Wipe my phone completely and install A new ROM? Or since my phone won't detect my SD Card, Will it brick my phone or screw it up if I do flash the recovery and wipe anything? (By the way, I've got the phone to recognise the SD Card once or twice, but after a few hours, even after using the phone perfectly to take videos, pictures Music ETC, it wants to reformat it again due to the fact the phone thinks it's an Unsupported Filesystem). I'm not sure if this SD Issue is Hardware or Software Related, But I would have my money on Both, but I'm just not Sure.
Your help would be really appreciated guys. Thanks.
You can only flash a recovery if you can write to a partition. You need to root with either HTCDEV or AAHK to write to a partition.
I have recently installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 with Rush kernal V10 and everything was working fine, taking pictures, playing music etc. I have also deleted some software using Titainum to remove the dead weight. And recently i took some pictures but it says cannot save and i cant view thenm in the quick view on the camera software, but it does save them when i looking the gallery. If i try to video something is says 2 mins. at the bottom that suggests it cant recognise the SD card even though it is inserted and is trying to save on the internal memory. Also when i screen catpure is takes it and then says it cant be saved but again when i look in the folder in my gallery it is there. So these apps obviously cant recognise the sd card to save to it, for some reason. the Walkman app when i open it just says no music in the library...suggesting no SD card again! I can browse the SD card in File Manager, so the phone knows the SD card is there, just some of the apps dont realsie it is there, the apps on the sd card are all working fine. im not sure if i am missing someting or maybe i accidently delted somethiing important.
HELP!

Hi
I moved acouple of avi files from internal storage to the sd card connected the phone to pc but the files. wont trasnfer over i can see the files on the sd card click copy but when i go to paste the files onto the pc nothing happens. If i remove the card from the phone and use a usb adapter to connect it to the pc the files copy ok.Obviously i don't want to unmount the card from the phone everytime i need to transfer a file to the pc can anyone help me with this
Maybe a formatting error. Sounds ridiculous I know... pointless getting technical, so just wipe the card and see if that fixes your issue
Hi stevepork
I just tried that and its just the same. i was wondering if it might have something to do with kitkat 4.4.2 which the phone is running.

Are you completely stock? Have you frozen or removed any apps/services while trying to debloat?
Hi

What is your USB settings ? PTP or MTP ?
Hi
It's mtp when on ptp i just see an image of a camera and have access only to the photos on the phone
What you you see when you right-click on the sdcard file from the computer to show its properties ?
properties doesnt come up only open and explore
Maybe you need this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
As I've only had it a month i don't want to root the phone as it'll void the guarantee which I'd have to do to use the app

Dont worry about warranty when rooting.
There is a way to get everything back to normal.

I'm using the folder mount app to move the files to external sd.
I can move files from internal storage to sd card but i cant get them off the sd card without removing it from the phone and connecting it separately to the pc
it's the security measures that prevent unauthorized access to the sdcard. if you don't want to root, you can move your movies to the dcim folder then you can access it under PTP
Thanks alot for that i just tried it and it works a bit slow but better than keep having to take the back of the phone off and on and unmounting the sd card.do you have a link to rooting the g3 I'd like to look into it sp long as its fairly simple and can be reversed
Read this thread for rooting, the unroot method is explained in the second post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2821000
Hi
I rooted the phone and installed supersu but the files still won't transfer to the pc .the phonr id d855 v10h-eur.
As the title says & I can't even save pictures to my SD card.
I'm running Android 5.0 via Cloudy G3 2.0. I didn't have this issue when I was stock I don't know if the problem is related to Cloudy G3 as I did adb push a file to my phone (moments before I installed the custom rom) and I have read that doing so messes up permissions regarding the SD Card.
I have done a Google search but nothing relevant is coming up regarding Android 5.0
I'd greatly appreciate it if help could be provided, thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue, but even though I am running Cloudy 1.0 since I am on AT&T, I don't know if its a rom issue since I cant access my External SD card even through recovery. It shows up as if its empty, and it wont let me access it but I can access it through a computer without a problem. I have been having a lot of issues using my Windows 8.1 computer to transfer files and such. I dont know if its compatibility issue freezing up my sd card.
Anyone got any advice?

Try connecting your phone to a computer, transferring all the important stuff to your computer, and formatting the SD card. That's what I did and it's working again.
My phone no longer detects the SD card. I think the problem was with the card itself as I have no issues whatsoever with a different card
