Internal storage annoyance!!!!

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?

Do you have debugging turned on? I had the same issue and turning on debugging seemed to help me.

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

No it won't get erased. /sdcard is just a symlink to the /data/media folder...

[Q] Build.prop gone wrong

Hello,
I tried to alter my build.prop so I was able to download incompatible apps, but on reboot, my phone will not turn on. I changed ro.product.model to Galaxy S3, and now my phone will not turn on.
I made a copy of the original build.prop onto my SD card, but have no idea how to put this back into system, to overwrite the one I changed.
Please help,
thanks

Can you get back into recovery?
I apologize if I say anything I don't mean.

Yes, if I hold, volume up, home, and power, i get into the recovery

Reflash your ROM?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Where do I get the stock ROM from to put into ODIN?

Assuming you made a nandroid backup in CWM before changing anything in build.prop (like you always should!), just go in to backup and restore, and hit restore. If not, you have to re-download and reflash your ROM.
EDIT: Here is a stock ROM. Please also read here.

Excellent. That worked.
Do you know how to do what I was originally trying to do? I am unable to download some apps in Google play as they are not compatible with the SGH-I747, and I was trying to change this so Google play seen the phone as a different device allowing me to download the apps.
Thank You for your help

Have you done a search for the apk files? If you can find them you could just side load them.

How did you edit it.. most likely you screwed up the.permissions. you also need to edit more than one entry. Look for the thread on getting Google wallet to work. Use root explorer to edit it.

MicroSD Card Issues

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?
2)I root my phone by following this guide "How to Root U.S. and Canada Galaxy S3 SGH-T999/SGH-I747/SPH-L710! [Fail-Proof][Noob-Proof][U.S. Cellular]" using odin
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 I am new to android, so please bear with me

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.

This is the original LE6 version though, if you want the updated LH2 version give me a few min to get the link for you.
Follow directions in that thread to flash with Odin.

Let us know how it goes. If noting at all seems to work, try borrowing a sdcard and see if it acts the same.
Could always just be a problem elwith the card itself
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

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!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

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.

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.

[Q] Internal Storage writing error [SOLVED]

Hi
I've posted a few threads relating to my issue, and I keep thinking it is solved, but the issue still lingers for me. The previous posts are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791701
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808195
My current issue is having a few apps write to storage. The 3 apps that are most obvious are:
Dropbox - when exporting a file, it says 'error exporting file'
Beautiful widgets - I download a skin, but it doesn't show up in the downloaded files list.
Sixaxis - I made a custom controller profile, and hit save, but it doesn't save. The folder to put downloaded profiles doesn't seem to exist.
I'm pretty sure this issue started when I used the Gnex toolkit to backup and restore when I was updating from Android 4.0.3 to 4.1.
If I knew it would help, I would go so far as to restore back to 4.0.3, and factory reset,
Anyone offer any insight into this?
Thanks

Yep, still have about 5 GB free

So just to clarify, have you changed anything with your phone such as flashing a rom, rooting, or a custom kernel?
If so you might want go back to stock and see if that fixes it.

Yeah.
My carrier was being really slow about releasing Jelly Bean, so I rooted, and installed it myself.
It was "bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed" for 4.1 and
Maguro_JZO54K_Deodexed_Rooted_FactoryImage_teshxx for 4.1.2
Both just zipped version of the factory image. I didn't change the Kernel beyond that.
My carrier has now released the most current version now, so I could return to stock, then root again.

Sounds like a good idea, and if you're looking for a good Rom,I would suggest minco, it's as stable as stock and a whole lot faster with better battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Think I got it solved.
Previously I was doing a factory reset on the phone, so it was restoring the same ROM.
Today I used the Gnex toolkit, and flashed the stock rom from google, and re-rooted. That seems to have worked. I can export files from Dropbox no problem now.

Glad to hear it

simplest fix without using the root that you gained would be just disable the stock samsung camera then download one from the play store....but if you wanna use the root you just gained i would say download this then extract the samsung camera from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741413 then with the root browser just delete the samsung app that you have installed and put the one you extracted in its place then fix the permissions then reboot and it should work now

5. Save the changes and restart your device

Even if you sent the apps to your external SD they would still be wiped if you do a full wipe in order to flash a new rom....but what you can do is copy the apps data to your external SD with a root browser. Basically make a copy of the "Android<Data" sub folder from your Internal SD then change the name of the Android Folder then paste it to your external SD and the apps data it self will be safe even if you wipe to flash a new rom...
