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.

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.
Hi All,
I'm not sure if Im overlooking something here, but I'm trying to flash a rom to my G2 phone.
I rooted it and confirmed it and installed Rom manager. I backed up my system. I download the rom to my PC and transferred it to the root of the SD card. But I go looking for it, and its not there.
If I browse my files from the PC as USB storage, its not there though I could see Windows transferring a little over 300Mb. I tried renaming it, setting it up in a different folder, nothing. It wont show up on the SD card. Its an HTC sense .zip file rom.
I'm stumped. I was happy everything was going as it should, then boom, I cant find it on the SD card. I even tried a different SD card.
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Chip
Sorry all, I'm in the wrong forum. Please close this.
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!
i did search the forums for an answer, but im running into a problem that hasnt been encountered by others. I would like to switch my sd card from a 4gb to a 8gb. if i just copy and paste the files, i get a pop up advising that theres a file/folder thats name is too long, and it will only skip it. I dont want to leave behind any important files. any help with this?
aside from my music and photos( the easy part) 75% of my apps are installed to the sd card

Just copy your current SD Card (4GB) contents to the PC. Then format your new SD Card (8GB). After that just copy the contents back onto the new SD Card, and load it back inot your Shift. You should be good to go.

You'll be fine. I've copied my sd contents to my PC and back a few times and I always get that "name too long" error on one file and I've always just skipped it with no problems.
thanks.... i found out that the source of my problem was the folder "android" but i pretty much just took what i needed from that folder, and created a new one on the root of the sd card, and placed the contents there, every other file/folder transferred smoothly
I was wondering why all my notifications weren't playing any tones and I was missing photos. Went to file commander and saw my SD Card was basically formatted. Folders are gone, but the files not in a folder were still there.
What happened?!? Is my SD Card going bad or something else happened?
I have seen this happen before to myself.
If you are rooted, make sure to flash SuperSU from recovery again (latest version just in case) and use NextApp SDFix.
I haven't had any issues after that so far, but can't confirm the issue has been solved either.
