I have tried several extsd fix methods and so far I am still running into the same problem. I have a mp3 Downloader that stores the files in the system music folder. When I tryed using the stock file manager it says transfer failed. So I tried using ES file explore as I have for some time with the same result. I'm using a M919 OK3 4.4.4 rooted stock. I tried using NextApp SD fix and a few other SD fix apps with no luck. I even tried twrp manager to undo the fix and redo it. Still nothing... I am open to any suggestions since this has me baffled. This is the only phone I have ever had do this. I have a sgh-I337, galaxy centura, and a few other phones that I have rooted and either modified the stock or put a custom rom on and never have had this problem.
So far still no luck with patching SD card to allow file transfers. Not giving up yet though.
So just realized I never posted back on this after I figured out my issue the problem was not the phone the problem was the files. I had 2 .mp3 files that were stored as a totally different file type than what what is supported for trasferring once in changed them to .mp3 they moved over just fine...
Please close thread as this has been figured out please and thank you

I am running AOKP on my d2att. I am trying to flash a new ROM, and every time I transfer them over from my computer, they get to about 75% and just closes. The file shows up there, but of course, it's not the full file.
I've tried a few things. So far I've tried these:
Trying it on a different computer
Other files seem to work, such as .mp3 files
Tried another nandroid backup
Tried downloading it from goomanager directly
Anyone ever had this issue and/or know how to fix it?

When I copy over from my Win8 PC the status only goes to about 60-80% and closes, however the file sizes match properly. If that's not the case a quick fix would be to download the file directly from your phone.

Fixed, just had to update twrp. derp.
Hi. I just switched from 1 custom 4.3 rom to a different one and i did a factory reset. However once i rebooted, i noticed that all my internal SD content had gone into 0/0/0/0 etc. i kept clicking but eventually file explorer on widows just froze.
I went into ES file explorer on my phone and saw the content was behind 400 0's!!!!
Anyone have any idea what i could do to recover that info? every time i try copying the files ES explorer either crashes or says that it had copied the files when it hadnt.
Any help would be greatly apreciated. I'm at my wits end... :crying:
Thanks
Bro you need to use a file explorer from recovery. TWRP custom recovery has a built-in file explorer. That should do the trick

Also, you should update your recovery as the more recent versions have fixed that problem. It doesn't happen each time you flash with the new versions.

Yep I figured that out the hard way lol. Already upgraded to the latest version of CWM to prevent it from happening anymore. Now to get the files out from down there... :banghead:

On Windoz, You could troll and copy out every 10 deep or 20 deep back to surface and then continue. That'd be better than crashing Explorer.
Dos Prompt is more rugged. You could write a batch script there.

I saw that somewhere and tried that. Doesnt seem to be having any effect. Unless im doing it wrong...
I'm plugging my phone into my computer, accessing the phone section when it comes up, going about 20 0s deep and copying it back to the root. It either crashes my windows explorer, or doesnt seem to be doing anything(i think because its already disconnected itself. i tried making a new folder and it wouldn't let). what am i doing wrong?
PS. how would i access my phones internal SD from DOS?
thanks
Try ADB FileExplorer that should not time out on Windows. I have also tried Android File Manager with success. If that does not work, I will look up other options.
Well i tried android file manager. Im not 100% sure exactly how these programs work, but either way its saying i dont have root access. I do and i also have chainfires adbd insecure app which should give me full root access, but its still not working.
I looked at ADB FileExplorer too, but i didnt really get it and it kept saying it couldnt find my phone and something about an incorrect path.
With the Android File Manager, when it accesses the Phone over ADB, it will ask for Root once. If you don't click SuperSU warning in that time, the File Manager will give this error. Please read its thread carefully. I have connected over ADBWIRELESS and this just fine.

It never asked for root on my phone. I've tried all the changes and everything else that people have recommended, but im still not having any luck. I guess im too much of a noob for all this lol :crying:
Try Re-mounting internal SD in Recovery and then connect to PC.
nope, still no luck. Its still saying no root and no supersu request is coming up. I guess im missing something....
EDIT: I seem to somehow be "losing" root every time i try to connect to the android file manager. i open an app that requires root and it says i dont have root. I have to reboot my phone to get root to work again. It's weird though, because SuperSU opens fine...
open the last "zero" folder on your computer, drag everything into a folder on your computer desktop, let everything copy (do something else in the mean time), delete your phone memory, copy everything back to your cleared phone memory card

If only it was that easy. its behind 400 nested folders. Windows cant go that deep. it freezes and FC's after about 200.
Im giving my phone in to get my power button repaired, so i guess ill ask the software tech there if he can figure it out. But thank you Perseus for all your help last night. :good:
I also have this problem guys, how do i update my custom recovery please?
So i was on g2 apps v5.5 rom for some time when all of a sudden my media stopped scanning, i wasnt sure why, rescan media apps werent working either, so i decided to flash a new rom and i chose candykat, since then all of my files that i used to have, pictures, videos, etc have completely vanished. i cant locate the files in 7 zipper, es file explorer, and media scan apps still bring me nothing. Yet my internal storage still has the same amount of space used that it did before, and also when i go into CWM and choose install a zip it shows all the folders and things that i am missing, but that is the only place i see the folders but i dont have access to my files from cwm. Also i have noticed that when i am on 7zipper looking through files my internal storage says storage/emoulated/0 and i have no idea what the emulated is about, if anyone has any info or knows what im talking about please to help, Im not too great with phone stuff but i am okay, so if anyone has any simplified steps to give me on how to fix this issue it would be appriciated, thank you.
No answers anyone?
Just do some searching mate. And use ROOT EXPLORER and give it access.

The way Kitkat makes the "SDcard"/"Internal Storage" directory is different from how it was on Jelly bean. <--EDIT: By this, I mean that the directory path is different.
The card is reading that X amount of data is on the card, yet you can't see it because your files are technically still there, but under the old directory path.
There are a couple of ways to fix this, but the EASIEST (IMO) way is to first restore a JB Nandroid backup (you can backup your KK ROM first if desired). First thing you'll notice is that the files will be there again. Now, plug your phone into your computer and copy all the files to it.
Reboot into recovery and format the internal SD. It's best to do it from within recovery, because otherwise, JB will just recreate the JB file structure and immediately start saving stuff to it. So when you get to KK, there will once again be the old structure hidden and with some files taking up space.
Now either reflash your KK rom or restore your KK backup.
Boot it up and copy your files back to the phone.
*I ran into this same issue after flashing KK for the first time. This is the exact process I did to resolve it.
Another way is to use a root file browser and locate the old directory and copy everything over to the new one. However, I think this might take quite a long time since the phone can do this only so fast.

Okay, thank you, I will try that soon and see if it works.
Hi everyone,
so awhile back I had messed up my phone trying to go from cyanogenmod back to a stock AT&T rom. Bricked it but was able to get it all running with debrick images/forum help. Phone is now on AT&T 4.4.2, boots without debrick, seems completely fixed. I had switched to another phone for awhile but switched back to the GS3 I fixed.
The problem i'm having is that it seems like nothing has access to internal storage. I first noticed with snapchat, I was able to recieve some snaps, but everytime I tried to send one it would fail and would fail to download stories. When I try to take a video with snapchat it says "there is a problem with your SD card."
Then I downloaded SwiftKey, it tells me it doesn't have access to download a language pack. ES File explorer also cannot create any new folders or anything on the internal storage, just says "operation failed." I tried a "Mount R/W" program but it did nothing. I have TeamWin recovery installed, I tried fixing permissions but nothing. Did a data wipe/factory reset but that did not help either. Changed system and "/" to R/W in ES file explorer.
The Camera is able to take pictures and save them to internal DCIM folder.
Any ideas? Want to start using this phone but every app is having problems!

This is what I installed on my phone...a stock rom from enewman17. I'll try posting in that thread but not sure what to do.

I ended up flashing the other Kernel that was in that thread. Fixed those issues.
Hey there,
I have a problem with my fairphone (FP1). I recently used it with the ROM provided by chrmhoffmann (thanks for that!) but as I will use the dual SIM function more intensively in the future I decided to go back to official ROM.
I downloaded and flashed it from my SD card. It started and seemed to work until I reinstalled some of my apps (including Xposed). The phone got stuck in a bootloop afterwards, but I could still do a factory reset and it would work again. Unfortunately I had to do this a couple of times.. Don't remember what happened exactly, but I also flashed it again from my card.
At one point this didn't work any longer. My SD card is not recognized any longer, I cannot install anything. I tried a different card and fat32 but no success.
I therefore tried to sideload with adb but the installation always fails immediately. Somewhere I've read that someone had a similar issue caused by missing executing permissions - but I don|t know how to check that without booting.
Next thing I tried was to flash with the flash tool. I have version 5.1320. If I open the scatter files from the offiial ROM I downloaded from fairphone.com I get an error because it's missing some files. ("Item[1] PRELOADER: File not found" etc.)
It would be great if anybody could help me with this scatter file thing and explain me how to check this permissions thing!
