Rooted with one click as per this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196 thread forum.
Props to the devs who made it, you guys are the best.
But however I Used astro manager to place sdcard2 into the root of the SD card with no effect on recognizing that there is an sd card in there.
THe one click also included the most current tiamat kernel.
Any make a guess at what bone head thing im missing.
Tried putting sdcard2 into the root of the xoom but dont seem to be able to do that with astro manager. Got super user persmissions though

I just received a replacement Xoom from Moto and its on 3.2. I put a 8GB Sandisk and want to delete files on the SD but I can't. It's mounted as Read Only. What can I do?
root! Can't do it, yet, with stock 3.2.
Stick the card in your laptop and delete the files.
if you're prepared to root there is a solution here in the Xoom Android Devel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068999
Root it, use this program to remount as read/write and then use whatever file manager you prefer.

I figured I'd have to root it but I was wondering if there was a solution on stock. I'm going to root it hopefully today if I have time.
That sucks. I'm going to just stick in my Evo for now and delete files. It's kind of a pain and dumb that they didn't include it in stock.
Mine is root 3.2 3g. I coonect my xoom to windows 7 pro and able to detect my sd card but unable to put any file there. Any help much appreaciated.

This was told to developers at Google IO in 2011. There's a different API for R/W now to the external file system and developers just aren't using it yet.
The proper fix is for developers to change their apps to support the new API.
I recently bought a 16GB card for my G2X, and I started downloading more of my music directly to the phone. The problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to move my music to the External SD. I tried to use Astro, but when I selected the Amazon MP3 folder and tried to copy it to the External SD, I got a move error.
Now that I look further, I can't seem to do SQUAT with the external SD. I see it listed in SD and phone storage, but I can't move anything to it with Apps2SD or with the native GB app manager. Am I just missing something?
Are you rooted? If so, try using a Root File Explorer, such as SUFBS or Root Explorer.
I am not. Do I really need to root to use that external SD slot?

No, but I just figured, you'd be able to have SU Access, hence, more permissions in Android to move files.
Just try a different file manager from the market. I always had trouble with Astro when moving files to the external sdcard. Anttek File Explorer and Super Manager are two good ones and they're both free.
First thing you do is unmount you external sd card in the sd card settings of the phone and then take it out right away after it says unmounte dof corse then reinstall it and wait till it is done scanning it then see if that works. If not then I would try a different card one that you know works in something else and also try that on in a different device like your pc and see if it workes there this way you can determin if the card is broken or if the phone slot is brokem and if the phone seems to be broken I would try a factory reset.
Thanks, Phburks, I tried Super Manager and that seems to be moving it just fine!
All right, so i recently purchased a wi-fi only xoom from a friend of mine and i'm having a bit of trouble getting it to read my microsd card properly. He had rooted the device previously and immediately lost microsd support.
I recently flashed Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray and figured that would fix the problem. Of course, it didn't. So I downloaded Androzip and through a bit of digging have come to the conclusion that my microsd card (according to androzip) is not my sd card at all. It is, in fact a folder named "sdcard" within the Xoom's internal memory. According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254933 my sd card should be in mnt/external1
Only problem is it isn't showing up.
When i go into settings/storage it shows my 8 gig card, i just can't seem to do anything with it. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Where to begin...?
Yes, tablets generally use non-removable flash memory for internal storage (hence your internal "sdcard") and additionally, the Xoom has a slot for up to a 32GB external micro sdcard, which should be found (if installed) at mnt/external1, on the same directory level as sdcard.
If you are rooted you should have the ability, through a root app like Root Explorer, to navigate right to mnt/external1. You can mount R/W access and write to the micro sdcard. If you have installed a custom rom/kernel that supports usb host mode, you can also use a usbOTG cable with an app like Drive Mount or USB OTG Watcher and access a thumb drive or a large HDD.
I really appreciate the response.
Root Explorer is the only one of those suggestions that I'm familiar with...could you possibly link me to a guide or maybe give, me an idea of how to get that accomplished?
I assume you are still trying to gain access to your micro sdcard (we can get to usb host mode later).
If you have downloaded Root Explorer, open it and it should say that superuser granted root permission, then you want to navigate to the root directory, find mnt, find external1 and you should find your files there. In the top left corner of the screen you should see "Mounted as r/o and Mount R/W" and you can choose the latter and then you should be able to copy and paste to and from your micro sdcard.
That's fantastic.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.

Anytime, I'm happy to help.
I figured this was kind of up the same alley that my co worker is experiencing. He recently got his xoom back from motorola and I got some information from him that might be helpful to my situation.
cdma_n_03.1a.5p ltedc_u_05.19.00
android 3.2.2
build: hlk75d
The xoom is not showing any external sd card, he is using astro file manager. He is not rooting the unit, he is going to keep it pretty much factory fresh, as he wants to use it's tools for display and selling. so I'm attempting to give him as much help as I can.
I'd like to give my buddy some good info to help him out, I think he's gonna have to, and probably should just call verizon and explain his problem, but I hope I might be able to help him out. Thanks and if any other information is needed, please ask, I can get it for assistance.

Since I don't have a stock, unrooted 4G upgraded Xoom to play with it's a bit hard to give guidance on this. I can only say that with the HC3.2 update, external sdcard support came to the stock OS, so it should be there at mnt/external1 (I think) and this should be on the same directory level as the internal sdcard (internal storage with all the app, etc). If he's not rooted, he won't be able to use apps that have root permissions, which will limit how deep into the file system he can go. But the micro sdcard should be there.
Maybe his best bet is to try to talk to support at Verizon...see what they say.I'm curious to know....
Thanks for the reply. i believe he is here in the office now and Ill have him check and reply shortly.

Try installing "Disk Usage" from the market. It will list the current storage devices on your tablet. That's how I found where my sdcard was mounted.
Speedily sent from CM7 Beta
The disk usage app worked. Picked it right up. Thanks button pressed. Have a happy Monday.

Had xoom for a month. NOT ROOTED! Actually don't know how to do it or what the benefits are! I need to be able to access my flash drives & external hard drives. Drive mount states that I must be rooted! Is there anything out there I can use that doesn't require my to be rooted? Using Honeycomb 3.2.

No, sorry.
I'm running Vallahala final, I wanted to flash a tweak, went into CWM and it couldn't mnt. SD card, I formatted the card and same thing happened. When I opened root explorer and looked under sd card the only folder there was voodoo so I searched around and found a folder titled mnt., I opened that and found all the files on my card. I never had this happen before, the only thing different that I did was the gremlin remover and I installed app2sd but I deleted that. I know it's not the Rom because it never did this before.
Now when I take the sd card out the mnt folder goes away.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Mod can close this I figured it out.
Hi everyone,
I have been trying for the last few hours to find the information i need to resolve an issue i have.
I recently rooted my TFT101 with aokp milestone 5, I now find that i cant access my micro sd card, ( previously could ).
Also CWM wont see it, i have tried flashing it to 5.8.2.0 however still wont see the card.
I see there have been alot of posts but it just cant seem to find the answer that i need ( or im getting confused ).
I have seen that potentially formating the card to fat32 may resolve, however is ther something else im missing?
Any help appreciated or a point in the right direction.
Thanks
Some versions of CWM can't use the micro sd and in AOPK you may have to remount the sdcard although it should have done it automatically. You might want to use a file manager to find /removable/sdcard it is also sometimes named extsd or extsdcard
