Ok, so I don't know what happened, but when i went to mount my phone with mtp, everything is gone. I have the camera folder but no pictures. I've lost all of my pictures, downloaded apks, videos... Everything. Someone please help me trouble shoot this. I tried to run programs like Pandora Recovery but since the GN doesn't mount to the computer with a drive letter, those types of file recovery programs aren't working.
Thanks in advance for the support.
Can you give us any more information about anything that you did or that happened between the last time you had the files and now? Also, are the files still on the phone, just not visible from the computer, or are you sure that they have been deleted from the phone?
Have you used/installed to your phone a program like ES File Explorer or Astro to browse the SD card folder to see if anything is listed there?
I even looked on Astro & Root Explorer.
Only folders that were left are empty but are "Android" "DCIM" "Notifications" "Pictures" "tmp"
Even my clockwork folder with my back up is gone.
Last thing I did was make a back-up then I wanted to copy over a new Rom to the phone so when i plugged it it, that's when it appeared that everything was gone.
I had apps and all that but what is killing me is the pictures of my son that I've been saving...
Hello guys,
I have a bigger problem I hope you can help me with...
My internal storage is somehow messed up. This has effects on MTP and on some apps like the stock camera.
When accessing my internal storage by MTP from PC, only a few folders and files are visible. In contrast, if I list the content of "/mnt/sdcard" or "/storage/sdcard0" they show all my files and folders as one would expect. Also, files visible on the PC are inside this path and even when i copy a file from the PC, it is placed here.
The more serious problem is, that some apps are not able to find their files and folders inside die storage anymore. As an example, the camera app asks me to insert a sd card before taking a picture and Winamp doesn't find my music anymore.
What i tried so far:
Copying files from and to storage with Dropsync, FolderSync and ES Explorer: works without problems
I checked the rights of the files with the terminal: nothing interesting there
I cleared my whole storage (thanks to Unlock procedure) and flashed a new Custom ROM
I drank a lot of coffee because it got late
Nothing worked.
Please help, Thanks!
So thats me again.
I finally found the correct allready existing post. In this thread user dlzinc describes that one has to fix the permissions for /data/media. Good to know that i was right with permissions, bad that i didn't go through with it in the first place.

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help.
This is my first Android device and I am loving it.
Last night I unmounted my 64Gb microSD card and plugged it into my PC. I created a folder (at the root level) and copied all my audio files. I must say that since now I am at work I may fix it later but I named this audio folder in non-Unicode characters (Arabic)
Somehow right after I mounted the card again, the folder is not recognized (while everything else works, including a PDF book library that I copied couple of days earlier).
Instead of the "folder" icon next to this folder, it basically shows me a "white" folder-like with 0 files count.
Any idea/fix?
As I said, I will try to rename the folder to something in English and try again but I am afraid the folders inside are all in Arabic... BTW, I can read/write do everything on the phone in both English/Arabic just fine...
Many thanks for your help in advance

I have same issue, In N7100 or N7105.
Now I'm using directory bind to mount the Music in Music folder in Internal Storage path
I've the N7100.
For anyone who has my same issue, I solved the issue by renaming the folders and files to English! It works flawlessly!
How do I get a native non-English UI?
Sent from my GT-N7100
I think settings>language and input>system language ( or whatever that option is called)
Recently rooted my phone thanks to these wonderful people at a place called xda-developers. You may have heard of them.
Anyway, I find that there's something weird going on with my phone, I can't write to the internal storage. External SD card works fine, Internal SD card does not. Only a few apps work.
The camera app will take and save photos, but using the camera within Kik Messenger gives m the error that the photo cannot be saved, I have to take photos with the camera app, then import them to Kik with the "choose photo" option, which will let me choose a photo through Gallery.
In another related issue, ES File Explorer will not create new folders. I'm in the main directory of the "internal" SD card, where things like Downloads and DCIM like to sit in. I cannot make a folder. If I go in with a Windows computer over USB I can make folders fine. ES File Explorer cannot even delete the folder. Says "New Folder cannot be deleted" Why is this? I can even rename the folder, but I still cannot delete this folder. Going into the properties it says I have full read and write access to the folder, I still cannot delete it.
In a third instance I have the GPS program Navfree. I cannot even run the program. Google Play installs it and it says it works, but when I go to actually open the program it gives me the error "Program cannot be installed, contact support" before quitting me back to the home screen. This program is special because it downloads and installs, but there are map files that it needs to download before it becomes useful. This is done within the app and I do not know where it tries to save to.
I think all of these problems are related and I have not seen any forum posting about it so far and I have been searching for a while. Google Play will still download and install apps like no problem and ES File Explorer will copy and move files around and will even rename New Folder to 'folder' but will not delete i
At first I suspected it to be the problem with KitKat and the debacle about writing to /external/ SD cards. But my problem extends to the internal storage as well. I have applied the fix to the 'permissions.xml' file by adding "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" I had to flash the fix in with recovery because I could not save the edited file I had typed up. Using one of the automated fixes in Google Play told me the action had already been completed. On the contrary, external storage works fine, I can write files and delete them and whatever I want to the external. The problem is with the internal card and it applies to everything I've tried except the camera.
So what is going on with my phone? I have root access but some apps will not work properly. It's just one headache after another. Here's hoping I won't notice the next one until I get another phone...
Eventually I just got fed up with the problem and re-applied the stock rom with Samsung Kies. Re-rooted and now the problem is no more. Thanks for thinking about me!
I've been searching up and down the web for an answer to my issue, so I'll cut right to the chase. I've had pictures locked on my old LG G3 for a while, and I decided to get them off of there to transfer to my current device. I went into internal storage, and dumped them all onto an SD card. I didn't realize at the time, but there were many pictures on there that were locked via the "lock files" option in the gallery. The files have a ".dm" file extension. I know that this specific extension can only be read by LG, but when I try to open the files on the phone itself, a black screen with a caution symbol appears. They don't show up in the gallery, and can only be accessed via the file manager. I've tried almost everything, and nothing has helped. At this point, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks in advance!
