Hello,
I have on my G1 root access and want to copy a file (I don´t know the name of it) from thefilesystem to my SD Card. I do know the name from the folder, but not from the file himself.
Does anyone know that works? Maybe with the console!?
I think I've got a similar question so I will add it to this one. I'd like to copy a OI notepad file to my desktop. Mounting only results in mounting the SD card, but the files are stored somewhere in the filesystem.
So the question is how to mount the phone, instead of only the sd card. I can run as root and I've got 1.41 ADP1.1 installed.
I would like to install 1.5, but want to backup some files first.
Found the answer myself... I have made a back-up first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459830 and searched for the files in the created tar files by the nandroid script.

I'm running TNT lite 2.2.0 (yes I need to flash a more recent version...) and I cannot seem to access my SD card in any way. When I took it out it told me that I had removed it unexpectantly, and when I tried to get back into ES file explorer it had all my root forlders an files in what it called: /sdcard. And the area labeled: / (the root of the gtablet) there were the old files that used to be on my SD card, even though I had removed it... from then on I have been having tons of problems accessing files, sometimes it seems like I have no files at all today, I opened it to access some media I downloaded and only the folder labeled "data" was there with a bunch of random stuff in it that I truly don't care about. Now, I got a new SD card, put it in and still the files from the old SD card were still there.... I don't know what to do, I tried clearing the cache, didn't work, I tried accessing SDcard anylist the whole app force closed on me, so that didn't work either!!!! I don't know what to do!!! I also tried rebooting, didn't work... I need help thanks.
I got it, the directory was just different but it still will not let me delete or rename stuff... still help please?? I even tried a different file explorer...
The /sdcard folder is internal memory. The /sdcard2 folder is the actual path to the microsd card.
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer to this, but I do know that others have the same issue. For example, when I download a file such as a new kernel zip file, I am unable to move (using Root Explorer or any other file manager) the file from the internal SD card over to the removable external SD card. I always have to connect to my Mac in order to place the file on the external so that I can move forward with flashing, etc. Anyone have a fix for this? I can't believe that such a simple and required function doesn't work. I realize that the external SD card functionality is based on a hack/mod, but it seems like not being able to write to it from within the device makes it somewhat useless in many ways.
EDIT: Nevermind, SOLVED. Found out you have to "copy" and not "move"...works like a charm
In Root Explorer you need to go to the top left and you'll see a button that says Mount R/W make sure it isn't set as Mount R/O. Afterwards make sure you move the files to SDCard/External so you can see it in recovery.
Good you got it to work..

where could the files be , where did i go wrong
thanks a bunch in advance
Hello Jazzygaz. It sounds like you have put the installation files (cyanogenmod7.zip and gapps.zip or whatever) on your external sdcard, but when you are trying to install them (through Clockworkmod I assume?) it is looking at your internal sdcard.
Try copying the files over to your internal sdcard's root directory (where the directories you mentioned showed up) and install from there instead. Use a root file explorer to copy the install files over, or remove the sdcard before putting it into mass storage and copy them from your PC. Remove your external sdcard before you power up the tablet to enter Clockwork.
I am encountering an issue, for which I have been researching all day with no resolve. Galaxy Note 3.
The issue is that I cannot copy or move files INTO the internal memory.
With Root Explorer, I can read/write/edit files in /system (which verifies root), I can even create a directory, delete directory, or rename in /sdcard, I just cannot copy or move files into /sdcard.
When I connect the phone to a computer, I *can* move files from external SD into "phone" (internal storage/sdcard).
Oddly, Root Browser *can* copy files from ext-sd to int-sd (Root Browser seems to invoke SU just to copy files from ext-sd into /sdcard).
Root Explorer, FX, ES cannot. They all have root privileges and have been uninstalled/reinstalled.
I have other phones with exact same configs, but never had this problem.
Any idea on the cause?

Can you move your apps to SD card???
you can try backing up your SD card data to your pc and formatting it in Fat32..
I am having the same issue! It apparently happened after i did a nandroid restore to stock from CM11. I realized this when certain apps stopped working such as GTA San Andreas (could not save game anymore), and Torrent downloaders (Could not save .torrent files to hpone anymore errors). I dont understand what the issue maybe? does CM11 corrupt Internal storage? im formatting both internal storage and reinstalling my rom to see what happens. hopefully this fixes the problem!
EDIT: Looks like that solved the issue! Im not sure though if me formatting the internal storage helped or reinstalling the whole rom helped. Hope this helps others!
Rooted, kitkat 4.4.4.
I like to backup my entire nexus 5 to a large external sdcard using ES file explorer and stickmount pro. After an initial copy of all files it would be nice if I could copy "only changed or new files". Is there some way to modify the copy command to do that? Either in ES Explorer or Root Explorer or something else?
Edit:
1 spoke too soon. The 32gb sdcard is formatted fat32 and although I can copy files from the phone to it my backup failed when I tried to copy large files. I get an error message saying that there isn't enough space which is nonsense because the external sdcard is almost empty! Not sure why. Any help appreciated.
Am I really the only one who has errors when copy pasting large files in android?
Please advise if you can.
