[Q] cannot copy files to SD - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got this weird situation where I unmount SD>copy files>remount SD, then I can't find the files at any explorer.
The space on my SD Card has retained even I repeat to copy.
I also tried rebooting then copy again, no luck
How to fix this problem?

What ROM are you on? Did you try the same for your computer?

SD Card is write Only, how can I Fix?

I can't access the recovery anymore, can't connect it for disk drive. ROM MGR can't open the card either. I have Clockwork Recovery & I don't know what to do to get the card back to normal. Suggestions please? How will I access my Root if it's stored on this card? Don't know what to do......
Thanks in Advance...
Sometimes a file on my sd card will become corrupt, causing it to mount read only. I'm wondering if you meant to say your card was read only? If so, try plugging your card into a computer and copying the contents to the PC. If an error pops up about a file, delete that file from the card and you should be good to go. If no error happens, make a backup of the card, then reformat the card on your PC, pop it into your phone and format it again under settings->sdcard. Then just copy the contents from your PC back onto it.
Since this my first post I can't provide a link. This is a copy and paste from a different forum. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat:
"I approached it without reformatting. I took the SD card out and loaded it into a card reader and looked at the file system on the card. One of my subdirs in my Music directory was corrupted and I wasn't able to delete the folder.
So I right clicked on the removable drive and went to properties.
From there I clicked on the TOOLS tab and then on the CHECK NOW button for error checking.
I ran this a few times until I was finally able to kill the remaining files in that subdir.
I then reloaded the card and everything seems ok, except I need to reload my music."

How to reformat sd card?

So guys in a dilemma. I was on magnusragnarok cm7ex +4g build and then i got word that cm7rc1 was out. How i usually flash a new rom is download the zip file via pc, then connect the evo through usb, unmount sdcard, drag and copy zip to my sdcard and then mount sdcard, go into recovery flash zip and reboot. Well when I go to connect the usb to the pc and then unmount my phone says the sd card is damaged and to reformat it. The only option i have is to format and erase everything from my sdcard. I did that and tried unmounting again. Same **** happened. Ive tried searching anything to reformat a "damaged" sd card. Does anyone have an exact link to a step by step process? Im not even sure if its the rom itself thta may have a bug.

Connect to computer, go to my computer. Right click your phones storage device and reformat.
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
If the card itself is damaged, there is no saving it.

evo sd card problem

so, was having problems with my sd card today, so I formatted it on my mac, as fat32, then put all my backup files on it, and my phone can see it, and I am able to move files and programs to it, just like normal.
Only problem is, when I boot to recovery, to try and flash a zip file of any sort, I get a "error, sd card not mounted" message, and can't scroll to the root of the card to see anything..
when I formatted the card on my mac, I didn't make a partition on anything; I just formatted, gave it a name, and the phone saw it and recognizes it, except when I reboot into recovery...
Any suggestions on how I can get it to recognize itself in recovery?
Thanks!
Presto link-o http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243.
that looks like a fix for sd cards that are not DETECTED; mine can be seen through root explorer, and I can add or delete anything I want from it through my phone; it just doesnt want to mount when I am in recovery..
I'm not sure the link you posted is for not mounting in recovery...
thanks!

[Q] I messed up my phone

Hi, everyone, I am new here and I am really in need of help...
My handset is n7100. My previous rom is AllianceROM 4.1.2. I tried to flash phoenix rom v16. After that I have a problem with external sd card space. I think that might be due to abnormally working Extsd2internalsd mod. Because I can see a folder named sdcard0.
After that, I restored to AllianceROM but the problem came up, the external sd card is always reset after I reboot my phone. Everytime I reboot my phone, my extsd card seems to be reset. That means no matter what files or folders I moved into extSD before reboot, I will lose them after reboot, what I will have on the card is always 6 folders: android, data, DCIM, LOST.DIR, Movie, and titanium backup files. All other zip files I tried to put in the card (I tried to re-flash a rom) will be lost after reboot, no matter nomal reboot or reboot into Philz recovery. It is quite strange to me and I really don't know how to do this because I cannot flash anything from external sd....I also tried format extsd and reset to factory, didnt work, I also tried to remove the mod according to thread about the mod(extsd2internalsd) and my etc/init.d folder is empty....
Any thoughts would be welcome and thank you all for helping me out

Well the first thing you should do is try a second sd card to see if the problem persists... maybe yours is somehow faulty... secondly ... are you sure you got the sd card path right? try going to the root folder through a file manager... then go into storage or sdcard...it varies...inside that folder youll see a number of storage folders...check to see if any one of them is your ext sd card folder? maybe it resets everything because it really didnt get copied...really hope it works...good luck

Funky SD Card Issue

I have a T-Mobile Note 3, running DomPop v4.3. A new version (v5) came out and i was like why not. So i downloaded the files to my phone, which gets downloaded to my internal SD Card by default. I then moved it to the external SD Card. Then i backed up everything using TWRP 2..8.5.0. to my external SD Card, and did a normal wipe (data, cache, storage). After that i proceed to install the file and i cannot find it in the folder. I kept looking for 5 mins but no luck. So then i think there might have been some mistake and i'll restore to the backup i just made and that's not there either. I rechecked to make sure i hadn't backed it up in the internal storage but its not there either. So i reverted back to an older backup, which was still in my external SD Card. Upon reboot, i used ES File explorer to check my external Storage and the file i copied and the backups that i made wasnt there. Another interesting thing i noticed was that my TitaniumBackup folder had 0 files. I always make backups before each install and i'm sure there was 200+ files in there. So then i do a titanium backup, download the file again, but this time i copy it to external SD Card. Then i reboot into recovery, trying to install the file but its missing again. What ?? I reboot system without doing anything further and check my external SD Card and i see that the file i copied isnt there. And the Titaniumbackup folder that i just populated like 2-3 mins ago is empty again. I've repeated the process again and again - copying the file, doing titanium backup, and only rebooting my phone, and the files keeps getting deleted. I dont think its a R/W issue because i can write to those folders in the external SD Card just fine without any issues . Its just that when i reboot its gone. So what gives?
You might be better off asking in the DomPop Q&A thread. Maybe someone has had the same issue or already solved your issue over there.
Titanium backup is funky, and can sometimes create more problems than it can solve.
If you have mismatched bootloader and reflash the backup will bork your phone, can't figure out why you would use TB, I tried it once during my Galaxy S2 days and never bothered with it.
Maybe there is a different app that works better on lollipop.
Or you could be having the internal SD card issue that some are having, there is a fix in one of the update threads try that.

Thanks for your input guys. The issue was with my Transcend Premium 300X 64 GB external SD Card. I'm not sure what but something broke it, and broke it bad to the extent that i cannot write on it anymore. I can view the existing files in there, copy it but cannot delete it. I cannot format the SD card either. I tried using command prompt (disk part, format), softwares (SD Card Formatter, HDD Low Level Format Tool, etc) but no luck. Keeps saying its unable to format. I tried removing the write protection which was off to begin with, and scanned it multiple times with different Anti-Virus software but to no avail. And yes, i also removed the lock in the adapter. So yea, seems like i'll have to throw this one away. Unless someone knows a hard-core tool to format this sucker because i tried most of the conventional ways/tools i can find in the internet and it didnt work for me. Thanks.
Check out you tube with different search prompts, you never know, someone may have put out a video on it.
Good luck.
