Can you see the contents of your SD card from a computer? Are you on a rooted device? Are you using a rom? Are you using a kernel? What version of CWM are you on, if you have it?

I can only see the files the system creates. I cannot view any of my personal files. No i am not rooted.

Sometimes it is the sdcard...if you have an android phone, can you see your files in the phone? You can try a different card or you can try to format that card in an android phone (saving your files elsewhere 1st, of course), or you can try to use a utility on your computer, I think it's a Panasonic formater (you could do a search on formating micro sdcards for use in the Xoom here in these fora).
Good luck!

I am used to transferring data to my SD card by connecting the phone to my computer by USB and mounting it.
This suddenly has failed, and it looks like the problem is that there are apps running from the SD card. That is not surprising since I most my apps to SD because of the limited internal storage on this phone.
If its really an app or two thats causing the problem, how do I identify them so I can move then back to internal?
I have yet to have any space issues after deleting the fota files. Try using link2sd instead of apps2sd

What permissions?

Just like the title says. I am trying to do a backup and it tells me that the SD card is full, but I went through and deleted a bunch of stuff off of it... This is quite frustrating and I don't really want to format the card as I have stuff on there I don't want to lose. Any ideas?
copy SD to computer then format? then move what you want back to SD when your done?

If that doesn't do it for you, I have something else which may work.

hehehe no problem..
I figured out what it actually was... I saw a hidden folder called .trashes and it contained EVERYTHING I deleted. So I deleted it out of there and BAM, tons of room!
Ah, gotta love Mac. Delete everything only to have it moved to a hidden folder.

here's another thing (if youre sing a mac) when you delete something off your phone's sdcard using your mac, when youre done deleting everything empty your trash as long as its in your trash the phone still counts it as taking up space, idk why
Well on windows, with a portable device it just straight up deletes the files, or rather marks the space as empty, on the hard drive the space gets marked and the file goes to a 'secret' folder in the root of the drive until you empty the bin. Mac is similar but keeps the files on the drive. It also creates some sort cache for each file on the drive. A thumbnail cache maybe.

Using root explorer on the phone, you can just select to view hidden folders in the settings and it should show up on the root of the card. I can't help you with windows or Mac cause i haven't used either...

If you have access to a Mac, just plug it in and empty the trash. If you're on a pc you ahve to go to control panel>folder options> and check show hidden files and folders. You *may* have to tell it to show protected system files as well, I don't recall of the top of my head if you do or not.

When I figured out what was going on, I was using a windows pc and not my macbook. You basically need to be able to see hidden files/folders and find the .trashes folder and delete everything in it. I have not tried it through the phone so I would try what was said above if you want to use the phone.
Thank you my g2x people

Hey all i was just wondering how one can backup all internal memory before i try to flash my SR? I've got the paid version of titanium backup but don't know if i can use that or if i should just target a certain directory when its plugged into my PC? I tried a search before posting but didn't see anything initially.
nvm, going to start and i don't care about backing up internal.
Just connect to computer and when internal folder pops up copy and paste to a backup folder.

Greetings,
Of the 4 choices that I see displayed @Titanium backup:
System ROM
Internal
S.D. card
Ext.S.D.card
I'm having difficulty finding System ROM and Internal memory with my root browser/ file explorer.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Internal Memory is the same as SD Card, you can find it on /storage/sdcard0; for the external SD Card (Ext.SD Card): /storage/sdcard1. I think the rest of the files and folders outside the storage folder is System ROM.
So...does anyone have an idea of how to access my System ROM?
Thank you all!

ROM are system files, carries default apps and data of booting up your mobile, so you need not access ROM unless you needs ROM programming.
ken8864 is right! i once messed up with my system rom and my phone needed to re flash afterwards. BTW there are some applications that can be installed to view directories. Some might allowed you to view your system rom.
MyPhoneExplorer allows you to view it but don't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing.
So I use use this phone as a play phone since I have a Skyrocket. That being said i really dont want to get negitive comments.
So I accidentally reformmatted the SD card when i was going to update the rom from a 4.1 to a 4.2
The issue that I'm having now is that the phone won't be read by the computer. I've tried 2 different things.
Mounting the usb so I can move over the ROM files and re flash. Didn't work since the computer won't read the phone
Tried using ADB to push the files but same issue. ADB doesn't recognize the phone when plugged in. I plugged in my Skyrocket and ADB recognized it.
Yes I have the drivers installed and to be safe reinstalled them. I'm running everything up to date and can't seem to find a solution for my problem.
If anyone has a solution or give me any other idea I would appreciate it.

I used the Samsung toolbox program and on that you can do a temp boot thing then mount SD card and put stuff like backup back on SD card.

Put phone in fastboot mode and flash Google image. This should fix your phone.
