I am having a strange problem when I try to flash a rom. When I boot into recovery and choose file from SD card it is showing a listing of files that do not correspond to what is on the SD card, they are an old listing of files.
If I take out the SD card and go in it correctly shows no files. I have done a complete format of the SD card and put the ROM on and I can see it fine in Windows but when i reboot the old files are listed....Also I can see the correct ROM ok within the phone when using ROM Manager but then it reboots into recovery and then can't find the file!!
It must be some issue with the SD card any idea how i can fix it?

Have you rooted you phone eg. with unrevoked 3...?
Yes I have, everything has been working great until now.
I can still use everything in the phone and apps2sd+ is working. Astro file manager lists files on sd card.
but in recovery there are old folders and an old rom that i flashed a while ago.
WTF
i think flash orginal again...maybe from provider´s site (on my o2 site is a original) or from xda devs rom´s thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
and start from zero:
unrevoke again....change radio...change rom...
with kind regards...Alex
edit: if you don´t have it...make a ext3 with rom manager
recreated the partitions in linux and everything is ok now...strange
hello,i own an experia m c1905 4.3 rooted...the problem is that link2sd or app2sd do not work(it shows that there is not an sd card or my phone does not support it or the sd card is emulated)so is this a problem of the firmware?would it work in 4.1.1?or is a problem of my phone?could anyone help me with this?thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english....!!!!!
Bro xperia m doesn't support moving apps to external sd but you can use link2sd to link your apps to external sd instead of moving, linking will move all the data of the app to external sd, making space on internal sd but you have to make a partition on your external SD if you want to use link2sd using mini partition tool.
So download mini partition tool on your pc, connect your external sd through phone or card reader and make a fat32 partition of 2gb or however you like and then you will be able to use link2sd.

Bro app2sd won't work on any android version in Xperia M but you can use Link2Sd for linking apps to external sd and here is the tutorial link to partition your SD and use link2sd (look at the 4th point) - http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
And no matter you have locked or unlocked bootloader , you can't transfer apps to sd .... you can only link them.
But if you want you can swap your internal memory to external and vice-versa.

this is exactly what i did and my phone was rebooting all the time so i had to flash the rom again....i made a folder in sd card named 0 and moved all files from internal in there (cut-paste)was this the Wright way?or I have to just copy paste the files???also after the root on 4.3 can i delete thes system.ext4 file cause its too big
Instead of cut/paste try copying the files and look on the 18th page of that swapping sd card thread and follow the step by step guide by "spknair", and yeah you can delete that system.ext4 file now it will be fine.

Wrong replay by me

If you are stuck in boot loop (rebooting after Xperia logo), maybe you are not "full rooted" your handset.
you have to use 'boot fix' to get full root. search for it. test with all available bootfixes available, as I do. I couldn't share my boot fix. its for XMD
why are you still on old firmware?
In my opinion 4.3 is better.
The useful thing I had noticed that its Unicode support of fonts.

Bro, read carefully his first post, he already told that he is on 4.3 rooted , So that's the new firmware and i don't think there's any need for 'bootfix' for 4.3 root .
I think he must be doing something wrong in the swap procedure that's why he is getting a bootloop and that's why i suggested him to look on your post. :good:

First of all, I am also a newbie to Android.
I had make swap my memory more than 4 times.
because I had tried to link2SD work with this.
1. download busybox & root explorer from store & install it
2. download zip file & APK file from OP
3. install intd.apk. open it. tap on 'activate' & 'verify'. Now you could get the verification.
4. make a folder named "0" (zero) 2 @ root of your memory card.
5. move all files & folders to '0' on your memory card
6. move all files & folders from internal storage to '0'
7. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files & then delete from internal storage.
8. just extract the zip file. you will get 2 folders
9. move these to root. root is the basic location. I you press back ('parent folder' in root explorer) many times you will get to root position.
10. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files to its respective locations. you have to mount as r/w in root explorer (option as a button)
11. then go to root-system-etc-iniit.d. folder. there will be a file named "11extsd2internalsd", right?
12.set permissions to '11extsd2internalsd' all 9 options (just ticking) from root explorer's menu. (read, write, execute)
13. Reboot.
Never connect your mobile as mass storage
use any application to stop all running processes & apps before moving (step 5)
No need of formatting & flashing (LB)
In my advice please delete .thumbnail folder from DCIM, which will accelerate your moving speed.

the problem is that when i extract the zip into init.d it nothing happens it shows just the two files that are already in the folder....(i use root file manager not root explorer because its not free)
ok i finally did it succesfully...i will write exactly what i did to help others having this problem too...
1.i downloaded this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2681457&d=1397284566
2.i downloaded this apk from this thead http://click.xda-developers.com/api...pdated for (LB) - xda-developers&txt=this app
3.using ''root browser'' (from play store) i created a folder in sd card 1 named ''0'' (without the quotes)
4.moved all files and folders from sd card 1 to folder 0 (the one that i created in sd card 1)
5.moved all files and folders of sd card 0 in the same folder as in step 4(android folder was still there but all other folders and files were moved)
6.i opened init.d and pressed activate and then verify to see if it was succesfull
7.extracted the zip and cut 11extsd2internalsd file and paste it into system/etc/init.d(before this i set all permision ticks to the init.d folder or else could not move the file in it)the other folder named META-INF i copied it to home of the ''root browser''(i mean to the first screen you see as you open the root browser)
8.i set all permisions to 11extsd2internalsd file(9 ticks)
9.rebooted my phone
10.the swap was done succesfully!!!!
thank you all for your help and for your time!!!!!!!!!

Hello again yesterday i realized that when i set the camera to save pictures in sd card which is now the internal the pictures are shown damaged....but i realized that if i set permissions to the photos all nine ticks through explorer they become normal again....what could i do to solve that??
anyone?
When I get prompted to allow SD write permissions when accessing my newly formatted sdcard, the name of the sdcard appears as M-^|PNG^M^J^Z^J. This is on V20i of stock rom.
Why?
Just rename it.. How is this a problem for you?
Where do I rename it? I couldn't see.
Edit: Wipe in twrp made it appear as "sdcard" so I'm happy now
Rename using PC!

Hi, pal! I have the same problem: when sd maid request to allow SD write permissions, the name of the sdcard appears as M-^|PNG^M^J^Z^J. My phone is samsung sm-a300fu with 5.0.2 stock rom. Did you do full wipe (clear user data)?
I can't rmemeber exactly but I think I just wiped the sdcard in twrp after moving the files onto my pc.
Same on xperia e5.
This thing happens when you set up your phone the first time after flashing a ROM i.e M or N versions or inserting a newly formatted memory card, or just a card that hasn't been used before on the device . If you ignore the msg that pops up about setting up the new memory card detected. the android system names it in this way by default. (I don't know why they choose this name, it hasn't been clarified anywhere over the Internet) although it doesn't cause any error that I have encountered still it's an annoying thing.
formatting the memory card is not an option for me, and renaming the card doesn't work, I need a better solution to change this annoying default name. that data must be stored somewhere on the device itself where I can change it. anyone has any clue?
hi to all
how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8
i try many tutorial but no one work with apk with xposed
is there any solution
I'm not clear: Are you trying to grant SD card write permission to xposed? Or tried to use xposed to fix the SD card write problem?
Not personally an xposed user. But if you have general issue with other apps not being able to write to SD card, I might be able to help.

Changing your backup location in TB is a bit convoluted, and a pain in the rear. I just had to do this on another device a couple weeks ago, and had to fumble with it for a while before getting it right.
In TB, press Menu, select Preferences, then select "Backup folder location". Tap "Click to Change" (auto detect never seems to "see" the SD card). Then you will see different file system options. Honestly, I don't completely understand the differences between them. I picked "DocumentProvider storage". Then I tapped the 3-line menu button on the upper right. Selected the SD card, and tapped "Select" button on the lower right. After that, I was able to "see" the SD card in TB and read/write to the SD card.
Now, your description of apps not detecting the SD at all, or saying it writes to the SD, but no files show up, is a bit more worrisome. It suggests more than a permissions problem. Might make sense to format the SD card. Be sure to copy/backup any important data on the SD (if that is needed or even possible at this point) before formatting. Since formatting will erase all data on the SD.

The first time you try to save a file (or create folder) in ES Explorer, does the file selector appear (and lets you select the SD card)?

Strange. I haven't had this problem. Do you happen to have another SD card to try?
Stock ROM, or any mods?

Hello Group,
I am unable to access the sd card on my S1. I have tried the tips I can find online like formatting the card but nothing seems to work, I continue to receive
"grant access to sd card error "messages.
I have spent a week searching but can't find a fix.
I want to be able to insert an sd card by otg and copy photos to an sd card inserted into the tab. Do I need to root the tablet for this to work?
Thanks for your time
Model # SMT700
Android version 6.0.1
Kernel 3.4.39
Does it show up in the device storage in settings? Is the capacity correctly read?
Is it an error message, or is it just wanting you to follow some steps? It should pop up the default file manager. Then you need to go to the SD card and hit select.
Hello , thanks for the reply.
Yes it shows up in file manager and I can format it. Some file managers I have tried can select it and create a directory on some cant. Both the programs
I want to use say to select the card but then come up with the error message card not selected.
The programs I want to use work fine on a LG phone with a later firmware. So It must be a Samsung Issue or Marshmellow issue I think.

Have you used this file manager to access the internal SD card before? Usually that dialog is for the internal sd card, and not otg.
Can you record a video of what you are doing?
