Music and Photos not found

Hi... Just wondering... After i flashed CM9 stable release, I can no longer view my music or video files on any rom. It's visible on my sd card but it will not load.... Any one have this problem or knows how to fix this?... I've tried Rescan media and Scan media but it doesnt work.
sorry i did not see the other post going to delete this

I have the same problem what other roms did you flash. I went back to complete stock fc09 and it shows no pictures. I am going to try reformatting my sd card after I make a back up

Try this first!
In terminal emulator
type: su [enter] (allow if prompted)
find / -iname .nomedia
Then look for an entry in the root of the sdcard, in other words:
/mnt/sdcard/.nomedia
You will probably see a few results. If the line above appears in that list, then type:
rm /mnt/sdcard/.nomedia
This will remove the rogue file...

I've tried to do this but I could not find the file in the terminal. Thanx though... I found out that you just go into root browser lite (root explorer, etc.) And delete the file. Then update rom manager and reboot

Don't format follow these steps.
1. Go into root browser lite (root explorer, etc.)
2. Go to sdcard and the should be a .nomedia file after all your folders. Delete it.
3. Update Rom Manager
4. Reboot.
Let me know if this helped you

I tried mounting sdcard and copy but it doesnt mount.when i press mount /sdcard, nothing happens>(doesnt show the partition on computer and doesnt go ot :unmount /sdcard.)
Im stuck in here and dont know what to do.

i tried ODIN to stock but the ODIN software does not find the phone on any port when it is connected. i installed all drivers but still nothing.
cant i use ODIN for this ? thanks

adb push whateverromyouwant.zip /storage/sdcard0

Since nobody did explain why it can't mount, I will.
GALAXY NEXUS HAS NO SDCARD. It only has folder that is used as sdcard. CWM doesn't know that, thus making that mount feature useless on Galaxy Nexus
Like El Daddy said, connect your computer while your phone is in recovery mode, open cmd on the directory where you have fastboot.exe, then type "adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard/". You will also need to place your ROM file into the directory where you have fastboot.exe
Since that's done, please use search next time. There are too many threads talking about this exact problem.

Besides, using adb is more badass

or adb.exe, depending on what are you trying to do. one could also add said folder to $PATH and have the commands system-wide to avoid the need of placing files to flash/push on the same folder that the binaries are.
note: if pushing to /sdcard/ doesnt work in recovery, push to /data/media.

Thanks for extra info

Just to add (and clarify) a bit to what was said:
1) if we are talking about mounting as in getting read/write access to /sdcard via ADB, it is already mounted by default in CWM. The /sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media, and /data is mounted by default when you boot CWM.
2) if we are talking about mounting as in USB Mass Storage, mounting /sdcard is not possible for the same reason in point #1: /sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media.

Thank you so much, really solve my big problem

so much easier
for those who will come to this thread with the same problem, there is the very simple solution. use any of the Toolkits from this forum ( N-Cry or Nexus 4 Toolkit 2.0 ) and from the recovery menu select install from Sideload, after that launching ( pushing ) the ROM via sideload from the Tookit. Works like a charm.

1) this is the galaxy nexus, not the nexus 4
2) just say no to toolkits
3) adb is not hard
4) fastboot is also, not hard.

Help? copying files and folders to /

Hi, i have been trying to copy folders and a few files to the root of my Samsung galaxy nexus. or * / * or where the folders such as system, sbin, sdcard are. when ever i try to do so it copy's, stays there, but when i restart my phone seems to delete its self or disappear?! please does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

First of all, what are you trying to do?
Secondly, on android, / is actually the ramdisk (nothing copied there is persistent).

well i have a script im trying to run, which involves me going into my terminal and firstly doing
Su
... then
sh test.sh (my test script)
and the only way i can get the terminal to find the directory so it runs is if i have it in the "ramdisk" which of course deletes after a reboot :/ so is their anywhere more permanent i could put it. if you get what im saying. thanks very much

What are you really trying to do though? You say you're trying to run a script, but I have no idea why or what your end need is.
So what is it you are trying to do?

Have only read the part with the commands, not the whole project. I dislike adding files to the system folders.
A solution could be a cd to change directory to the sd card and run the script from a /sdcard folder.

My backups were saved to /data/media/clockworkmod/backups. So either you can adb push your backups to there or you can put the backups onto the sdcard of your phone and use a file manager on your phone to move them to the correct folder.

Off the top of my head I believe it should be this (assuming you have the drivers installed for adb and usb debugging turned on)
Open Command Prompt
adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/(whatever the name of your backup is) c:/
this line will copy the backup you want to the root of drive C, if you want it somewhere else just change the last file path

And how can I put it back to he same location

replace the word pull with push
its one of those basic ADB commands that everyone should learn if they are messing with their phone at all....

just enter 'adb', OP - it will give you all available parameters that adb has and a small description for each, although some are pretty much self explanatory.

Galaxy nexus custom rom problem

I tried to install a custom rom on my Gnex(codename android) and i'm stuck at some point. I enter in recovery mode,do a backup,wipe data and when i select install zip from sdcard i can't find the .zip file. What's the problem ?
Sorry for my bad english.

Just put the zip file in the "sdcard" without unziping it.

As you probably now, gnex doesn't have a micro sd card slot. I just have "internal storage", i watched a tutorial and did exactly like that guy.
Search youtube for "How To Load a Custom ROM on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus" i'm not allowed to post url's

Adb works in recovery, if you used fastboot to unlock the bootloader of your device you should have adb:
Code:
adb push <rom_name.zip> /sdcard/
In a terminal/CMD on your computer with your device plugged in

I'm not REALLY new..
I have my phone unlcoked and rooted. I tried with adb push but it doesn't work. Any other solutions ? I did not unzip it.

When you select install zip from sdcard, do you get a list of all your folders on your SD card? Do you know how to navigate to the location of your .zip? If it doesnt show up, then your either in the wrong location or its not a .zip file. Thats really the only two things it could be.

No
I don't have a list of all my folders. I'm pretty sure i'm not in the wrong location and yes,it is a zip file.

Well something is wrong if you aren't getting a list of all your folders on your SD card. What exactly happens when you select "install from SD card"? Just a blank screen?

Sounds like he wiped /data instead of doing a factory reset
