I'm able access my phone's storage on my pc and supposedly place files there, but when I use astro to look for the files, I can't find anything. I'm trying to flash cyanogen or even just install any sort of apk. Everything I've searched says to mount the sd card, but I don't have one. The phone doesn't come with one. I figured the hd on teh phone would be enough. I've rooted my phone, but that seems dumb if I cant even install anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure even if you don't have an sdcard, a folder still exists that acts like an sdcard. It's something like /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/external1

Hi Guys, Ive just used super one click to root my new galaxy tab. Its placed superuser widget on my applications page but im stuck on what to do next to get my apk non market place ones, onto my device? it also did the "allow non market apps" part correctly. Ive got a micro sd card in the device and read something about having to unmount the card also, but i didnt do this. So, if anyone could be so kind to tell me what prog i need or were abouts on the internal/external memory i put the actual apk files id be well chuffed thankyou. Ive tried to install android commander but it lost me with installing this sdk and jdk ect (and said my abd doesnt work) is there a simpler way?
Thankyou so much for your help guys. I have tried goog but its throwing me everywere and my laptop getting full of desktop shourtcuts and progs i havnt a clue lol.
cheers!
p.s i made a folder called downloads on my memory card root and put an apk file in there but when i install, it says not allowed?
This just popped up yesterday as before I had no issues. I can see the card, I can see the data, I can mount the card. The phone is rooted and I cannot change the permissions with root explorer, or any other Root file manager. If I put the SDcard in my Vibrant then it is R/W and no issues, I even ran fix permissions while in the Vibrant. I can even mount it on my PC, but I can't delete anything, even though Windows thinks it deleted it. I put the SDcard from my vibrant in my G2x no issues, R/W as it should be. And yes I did run fix permissions from recovery, no luck. sidenote, reseated card, pulled battery prayed, and then cursed... Also, I can copy data to my SDcard from Windows, such as a .zip, but while in recovery (Nflash vol up + power) I don;t see any of the added files, even zips for that matter. I do see the existing files. I know this is FAT32, but clearly something is amiss. I can't even format the card in my phone. Don;t have a card reader for the PC. I'm sure there has to be some simple command to set the correct permisions. I did search this fourm but didn;t find anything. I'd appreciate any insight and thank you in advance
Yeah I could format it in Windows via disk management, but was really hoping for a less painful method. Thank you for the suggestion phburks
Okay so windows says it's formatted, I put it back in all the data is still there. Put it in the Vibrant, formatted it, yet data still there and no errors...
and Camera now says "sdcard no exist" and reverts to phone memory....
Dunno about permissions but I'd just backup everything from the card and then format it.
G2X CM7
Yea that was a no go in the end. Anyone have any suggestions? I cannot make any changes to the data on the card add/delete/format...
Hi
I had an Atrix and used it for three months, then the internal memory (SD area) seemed to corrupt - I could not format or unmount it or access anything in there apart from copying files with Astro or ES File Manager. Even a full factory restore of the phone did not delete any of the data on the Internal SD (or Media Area). Ended up getting rid and getting an Optimus 3D.
Now, had the 3D for a month and can't believe I am having a similar problem. Android market apps kept disappearing on boot up (this is what started before), and randomly they would be there or not on each reboot. I moved some files using file manager from the internal to the external SD to create some room and my phone got stuck in a boot loop so I had to remove the battery and external SD for it to work again. Then, all of the apps on the internal sd instead of their icons had the android sd symbol and when clicked on say 'application not installed on phone'. When I look at the Sd and memory storage, the internal SD is nearly full still! I can't access it, can't factory reset it, or delete data. Surely there is some way of sorting this without yet another handset - it's gotta be a fixable glitch? In desperation rooted phone with Superoneclick which was really easy but doesn't help me because I can download from the market, etc, but can't actually install - I am stuck in the install 'candybar' for ages and it just won't work. I thought of manually deleting all of this stuff but I can't get a file manager onto the phone and the factory reset wiped out ES and Astro, I can't get them back on in the usual way.
Because I have root access now, I presume I may be able to use ADB through my PC to sort this problem - but of course would need exact commands etc, on how to do this through the command prompt? I am not an expert but think I just need to get rid of the carp on my internal SD which must have a corrupt file somewhere. Please help urgently, it is frustrating beyond belief and I almost feel like going back to Apple!!!!

This is a GUI for ADB a graphical front end. You can use it to push/pull some apk to your phone if ya need to. Hope this helps in some way.
Previously I was using cm9, after that I upgraded to cm10. I wiped data, wiped cache in cwm recovery.
After that, I tried xfering some files over to my tab, it looked like this

From this picture, it can be seen that my internal memory has files and is not empty
yet when I enter the folder
i. imgur.com/Mn7lR.png
Completely empty, cant be seen.
Even after trying to copy and paste files in, only the new files appear, can no longer find my old files.
Can anybody help me? same thing for the SD card. SD card only detected when I removed and plugged in with external usb card reader to my pc.
(I can't post images yet, hopefully someone with >10 posts can hotlink it for me).
Really urgent because I have to use it for my lecture notes in school.
If you want a workaround on this issue, you can use a cloud storage app. For example, dropbox (go to my signature and click the dropbox logo) can allow you to transfer files without even plugging your Xoom into your computer
Managed to solve the issue by doing a complete memory wipe on my internal hard disk but backing up important files before hand w dropbox as the files are still accessible with astro.
No idea how this happened though.
It's called MTP. Hahahaha in other words windows sucks.
Really what happens is the file list directory isn't updated so it doesn't show up on explorer. I don't even use explorer, I just use ADB push or pull.
So i have kind of a situation,
i'm running cm-11-20141102-NIGHTLY-mint.
So, yesterday, i erased my internal storage (in Xperia T a.k.a SD card 0), to renew my device a little bit.
But after that i literally can't do almost anything. My camera crashes as soon as i start it, gallery says there isn't any external storage, can't make screenshots, can't put stuff into the phone. When i try to put something via usb trough my computer it says that the device stopped responding or was disconnected and when i try it strough the phone file manager it says that can't be done and that i need more permissions which is impossible because i already have all r/w permissions.
I'm kind of desesperate right now. I tried to wipe all the data, syste, storage, cashe. Tried to reflash my rom to different one. Even ran some permissions fixes. But nothing worked.
Forgot to mention, there isn't anything on the internal storage right now except the foulder lost+found which seems empty and the clockworkmod folder into, which is weird, can put things.
Is there someone who run into the same issue ?
