Hello!
I have some files on the internal storage, from the downlad folder, that i want to copy to my sdcard, but theres no file explorer that will let me do it. I've tried both Root Browser and Root File Manager. They just give me an error saying 'Operation Failed!".
If i plug it into my PC through MTP and tries to copy the files, either to the SDcard or my own computer, windows 8 gives me an "Unspecified error" or saying "The device is off, or file not found" (or similar).
What is wrong? Why cant i move the files from the internal storage? Hope you can help me.
I9195 / Cyanogenmod 10.2
Sounds like an sdcard issue
Try copying files within the sdcard and within the internal storage. If it fails only when copying within the sdcard, remove it and try on a card reader on your PC.

I can without problems copy files onto or from the SDcard(from PC), but not the _internal storage_, thats the problem. The SDcard (partition?) works fine.

To clarify, do you mean the /sdcard/download folder ? I use X-plore if that helps!

To clarify, i meant the download folder on the internal storage chrome etc., saves files in that folder..
Wow that seems like a nice file manager, and it does the trick! No errors what so ever. But how come it works, but other root file managers doesnt?
And how come it doesnt work in windows? :<
Something about permissions?

I must admit that I didn't think X-plore would work either but am pleased it did; it does do pretty much everything as far as files and folders go.
I've not had a similar problem and cannot see a reason why the other methods you have tried don't work.

Can you offer any additional info? Have to used Root Explorer or a similar app to confirm without a doubt the files are gone and not just in a different place? And I am slightly confused when you say "move to sd card" because internal storage and SDcard on this phone are the same thing since there is no EXT..
I copyed files as usualy from computer to the nexus
After the copy (I copied the new google apps zip) this zip is ont the storage, but all other 12Go of data in the card are disapeared
I try to find it with windows, root explorer, es file explorer, I tryed android undelet tools and windows undelet tools... noone can see the MTP memory of the nexus .......
And I disabled the upload to picasa..

Do you have fast usb charge enabled? If so, try disabling that.
all files in /sdcard disappeared
The same thing just happened to me. I copied 386MB of music to /sdcard/Music and all appeared to be fine. I used Windows7 x64 Explorer over USB mounted as MTP.
I noticed that I could not copy some files back to Windows from Nexus. After messing around with that for a while I used ES File Explorer to check out /sdcard. Only a few folders were there, as if /sdcard were newly created. I could still see all of the lost folders in Windows Explorer.
Am I screwed?
TIA!
This is from a corrupt MediaStore DB. I ran into something similar when moving files to my phone over WiFi using File Explorer. Afterwards only a handful of folders showed up when connected via USB. Only way to fix it is to reset the DB. Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage > Clear data/cache. Reboot. It should completely rebuild the DB after the boot, and things should show up correctly again.

That did not get all my data back, I must have done something else while trying to fix it. The good news is that this fixed one of my next questions: How do I reset the Google Music album art? The suggestion above fixed that wonderfully.
Thanks!
So I recently found out that I cannot delete the contents within my SD Card, worked before.
I have tried it with the stock file explorer from samsung and ES file explorer. What happens is that I try to delete it, it disappears, then I load up the file manager app again and the files are there!
I can load up these files no problem (video files and everything plays well)
Does anyone know any way to fix it?

Download, " Folder mount" from google play, it will detect a faulty SD card & will fix it, reboot, you will have again a functional Ext. SD Card.

sorry didnt see your comment about it being fixed.I deleted what i wrote.
Whenever I try to move a file to internal storage when I connect my phone to laptop, it won't let me transfer. Same thing when trying file explorers on my phone.
ARHD, Elemental Kernel, S-off?
"Won't let me" means exactly what?
Maybe your firewall is blocking it?
Does your device show up as media device in WinExplorer?
What kind of files and size?
Have you tried Superbeam or Airdroid = transfer over WiFI?
Or even better: set up a shared folder (shared with everyone) on your laptop's C: drive, get File Manager HD or ES Explorer on your phone and transfer files via the network share.

I cannot write any files to my Viper4Android folder that I'm supposed to be allowed to (put IRS files in there). Computer and ES Explorer won't let me copy to that folder.

Check the folder's permissions. Long press and details
You sure the folder is not on the system partition which is write protected?
Post it's path

Nope - files are supposed to be copied there.
It says readable and writable :S
I can't even delete the folder. This makes no sense!

Tried dirty install, see if that works.
Yes I have TWRP, will try if dirty install of ARHD doesn't work.
I have a strange problem and I haven't been able to find a resolution online. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can offer a solution.
I have an AT&T LG G3 (LG-D850). When I got it, it had stock KK. I rooted it with Bump and everything was cool. I stayed with stock.
Last night I upgraded it to Lollipop using the stock, bump'd LG-D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM from autoprime. I didn't run into any problems with the install. The phone appeared to be working fine.
However, today I'm having trouble with the internal storage. When I try to download a file from the internet, it's failing. In the stock browser, it just fails. Downloads says "<Unknown> Failed." In Firefox, it tells me "Cannot download file because SD card is in use." In Chrome, it tells me "No SD card."
I'm also not able to move files to or from internal storage. I can cut, copy, and paste files from one folder on my external card to another on my external. However, I can't cut, copy, or paste files from one folder in my internal storage to another folder in my internal or external storage. I've tried both the stock file explorer as well as FX.
I tried the SDFix app from NewApp on the off chance that it would help (I read somewhere it would also work on L), but it had no effect.
I can still download apps from the Play store and install them. However, if I create a new file in QuickOffice, I can't save it ("Failed to save document.") I can navigate to root and copy/cut/paste files from the data/app folder to my external card and other folders. I think the issue is the system/sdcard folder. The owner/group on the folder is root and read, write, and exec are all checked.
Does anyone know what the permissions on that folder should be? Or if that's really my problem at all?
Thanks.

@suljo94 Awesome! That fixed it! :good:
Googleing restorecon brought up a whole bunch of hits about this problem along with this solution. Too bad I couldn't find the answer unless I already knew the answer
this should be added to the autoprime thread or on the q&a for all variants.
Is there anyway to fix internal sdcard? i get bricket on a F460K and cant install .zip files in recovery philz, when i choose zip from/sdcard resolves "Couldn't open directory" and "ni files found" but i can put files in "sdcard" via adb =/, anyone know a way to fix it?. thanks!.

I tried using this command instead an it worked for me.
"adb shell

restorecon -FR /data/media/0"
P.S i'm using no SD Card
Would this work for media (ie. mp3)?
I can't seem to find a fix.. All my music doesn't show in any music app and can't find a solution.. Already checked for .nomedia files, cleared media storage and forced a rescan for media and and formatted internal and external SD cards... No luck.

Fantastic!! I had the same problem with my LG G3 D850. I installed the stock rom from the TWRP recovery and was with this same problem. After performing this process my problem was solved !! But the pictures of the Camera application are not saved in the internal memory. What should I do to fix this??

@P760x when you type adb devices, what do you get? If it doesn't list any devices you probably need to reinstall the phone drivers on your computer. If it does list your phone, then there's something else wrong.

(i'm getting nothing)That's the whole point. My pc searches and founds my device. It perfectly worked on 4.1x JB, it founds instantly.
For some reason,when i connect my phone into mtp (Files transfer to pc) mode my pc can't find any items in phone,so does extraction applications in my phone,it's just all empty, even though i have gApps,custom kdz.
I tried with terminal emulator (android version) - it says permission denied,so i think that requires root? I would get instantly but i can't transfer or download anything to my phone...?

@P760x I noticed that I can't connect my phone in MTP mode unless developer options are on and USB debugging is on. I didn't have that problem on KK, only Lollipop.
If adb devices still doesn't list your phone after that, manually download and reinstall the phone drivers from LG. I've had multiple occasions when Windows eats those drivers, so that's the first place to start.
Hopefully that helps.
