I use PC to copy movies to a microSD.
Astro cannot see anything, saying the directory (mnt/sdcard/external) is empty, but report the size taken correctly, and I cannot copy anything to it.
Any help?
Try taking out the SD card, turning the device off, putting the SD card back in, turning the device back on.

No micro SD support if you are stock. Its coming one day. Not with this update. If you are rooted ignore me.

Have you tried a different file explorer? Which kernel are you using? Also what format is they SD card in?

I can not get the external SD card to work. It worked at first when I got the phone but now nothing happens when I try to mount it....I can format it within the phone and it even shows up as the folder "sd" within Astro but I can't move files to it at all on the phone or by drag/drop on the PC...
Anyone else with this issue or a known way to fix it?

Have you tried a different card or tried the card on your PC? Do both the internal and external storage drives come up when you connect to the PC? My Captivate once gave me a no external SD message when there was one in there. Took it out, reseated it and it was fine.
It worked when I put it in the first time but ebert since I took it it when doing a restore with odin 3 it doesn't work anymore not even with stock firmware

Is this a name brand card (Sandisk, Kingston, etc?) or a noname special? The cheap cards have high failure rates. You could try a PC USB reader, but you may have a dud.
Try a friends card and see, just to rule out your phone SD port.
Hello everyone, I am having a problem trying to figure out how to get my Xoom to hook up as a disk drive. It only mounts up as a media device so that I can ONLY xfer music and images. I am trying to drop a CM9 rom on to my SD card. I remember when I rooted it that I had to push the files to the Xoom but I somehow forgot how to do it :O Didn't know if there was any way or just have to push the file to it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated much!
The rom that I currently have is as followed:
[ROM][Nightly][ICS] Team Eos WiFi Nightlies (Wingray/MZ604)

Why not just use an adapter or card reader and drop it directly from your pc?

I did, but when I go into recovery it does not show up. When I try to click on, install .zip from sd card, nothing is in there.
Its weird, when I click on "Xoom" from "my computer" I can either choose SD card or Internal storage, once I drop a files into my sd card and try to find it on my Xoom, its totally missing, but still on my computer...
I tried going into recovery and keeping the Xoom connecting and mounting to USB storage, but when I do that, it recognizes it in my computer as "disk G" and when I click on it it says please insert a disc etc.
I am totally lost and totally irritated, I just want to flash CM9!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not download the CM9 directly onto your Xoom from their website without having to use your PC? The reason I'm asking is that I also had loads of issues when connecting the Xoom to the PC or Mac, and having to take out the SD card and pop it into a card reader is also a pain as you have to turn off your Xoom first. By far the easiest solution for me was just to download CM9 directly onto the Xoom's internal memory and then manually move it to the external SD card. Easy peasy...
In command prompt
Adb push <filename> <xoom path>
Example:
adb push cm9.zip /mnt/sdcard/CM9-Files/
That assumes either adb is in your path and your have changed to the directory of the file you are pushing...or...adb is in the same directory as the file being pushed.

Why do you have to turn your xoom off to take the SD card out? Just go to settings>storage and scroll down to your sdcard and unmount it then take it out. Just tested it and it works fine.

Thank you guys I figured it out and am now happy! Lots of love!

I though the phone was off! I removed the SD card, and now I can't see any contents when reinserted. Were the contents wiped? Is there any way to get the contents back?
Most likely nothing will be deleted as I've taken memory card ls out many times. Hopefully you didn't take it out while the phone was trying to write something. To be safe just turn your phone off, reinsert the card and then back on, it probably didn't delete anything.

Unfortunately the card looks empty. I don't even know if it's working, but I do not want to try to write anything in case that would over write something important.
You can try using recuva on windows, or undelete on android, inorder to recover your files...

Try a app called undelete.apk

If you have a Windows PC, stick in the SD card and run "chkdsk /f" from a command prompt.

nice info guys
I did the same thing to my tablet last time. but luckily nothing was corrupted or wiped from my SD card
so i keep deleting files from my sd card but they keep coming back.
i've pulled it out and plugged it to my laptop and it says files are protected? didn't know micro sd cards can be protected ( no physical switch on the side) nor did i find anything underneath properties tab.
i went as far as formatting it while mounted, all files delete but when i restart the phone, they all come back.
i like to know how i can make this go away, kindly advise. thanks.
What files are you deleting? Android puts certain files and folders on the SD card automatically

nothing specific. pics.
somehow they became write protected and i can't get it out of it.
need a new flash adapter , unless there is a way to remove write protected stage while its mounted to my phone?
Have you tried using an file shredder utility on your PC to delete them? Past that I would say its a mystery.

This happened to me a few times before as well it except I was trying to format the card instead. If I remember correctly it was because of some type of setting having to do with developers usb connection. I'll edit this post if I remember/find out what I did exactly

still looking, any one have a solution for formatting a write protected micro sd?
Are you trying to format it or delete specific files. If you want to format it find a hex editor, put a normal sd card and steal the hex from the normal sd card and put it on the 1 you're trying to format

Hi, trying to either remove protected content or format it, which ever way possible.
define steal? just downloaded freeware hex editer xvi32. not sure how to operate it though.
how do i steal the hex from another sd card?
I can't reproduce the problem so I'm unable to find the solution again. Sorry. That and I've also lost the 16gb micro SD card that had that problem. I'm using a 32gb now.

called samsung and they'll do a warranty exchange on it. problem solved
not sure how the micro sd locked up but it did, strange things happen i guess. i even tried multiple sd adapters and devices and still got the same error.
thanks everyone for their feedback.

I made several partition ... but again.. when I restart it... files are there again!

I already google bout this issue n most of them end up saying the memory card is corrupt... strange thing is ..i try every software (including HDD regeneration) n found no bad sector. I try format using many app, easus, AOMEI n stuff ..not working ..try to convert from Fat32 to NTFS also not working ..LOW level format from command prompt same thing... the issue is driving me mad ... replace microsd card is not answer.
I've been using Astro on my tf700t since I rooted it quite a while ago. Suddenly it will not see any files on SD card 1, which I assume is the external card. Tapping that link comes up "Empty." Everything else appears as usual. I installed another file manager and it sees the external card just fine, as does my desktop computer. I could just go with the other file manager but I like the Astro setup.
Any ideas what happened here? Thanks.

sdcard1 has always been empty. Your external cards are mounted in /Removable.

Thanks for the tip. I see the files there. But I'm sure they were under SD1 before, as they are on my Hisense Sero 7 pro with Astro. Nonetheless, I now know where to find them.

That is the multi-user thing in JB 4.2.1. Primary user's files are in 0, second user in 1
