[Q] can't access external sd via computer - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

when i plug in my sgs2 i9100 (running resurrection rom 1.4) into my computer, i cannot seem to access the files on my external sd card.
I can copy files to and from my internal sd card, but i can't even find the external sd card. Anyone know what im doing wrong or how I can find the external sd?
Heard its under the name 'emmc', and i can locate this file through 'file manager' via the phone itself, but when i plug it into my computer, I cannot find it.
Any replies will be greatly appreciated, thanks guys )

[Q] Cant Access Internal SD Card?

hey guys - since rooting and installing CM7 on my phone i cant access the internal SD Card from my phone.. it is coming up as an unknown location (which leads to some of the problems i've been having) - the only time i have access to it is by USB Mounting.. but through the phone itself - i cant get to it..
what can i do to my phone to get access to it?
i removed the external SD Card - and tried to access the internal SD through the file manager- still no luck.. cant even take a pic because it says "please insert SD Card"
clueless on why i cant access the internal SD Card (even with the external card removed)

Restore a nandroid of the stock rom and see if it works. Feel free to flash to another rom after that
Are you sure you're looking in the right place? It's mounted as /mnt/emmc
Do you have root explorer to navigate to this directory?
i did wat omar said and its cool now - i only need to figure out this problem im having with downloading data to the external SD
Sorry to being noob. Yeah i got same problem with the mytouch 4g. Can't access to the internal sd card. I lost the external sd card that back up fiels from nanroid. So can someone help me to access back in different ways?
Thank you very much
guys listen to what sryan1983 said

sd card

How to i see my sd card on my computer so i can put things onto it? Im rooted and have cmw
It's under "removable" and you will see "microsd." Also, if you end up not being able to mount it, make a partition on your uSD card and that will probably solve the problem..
only thing to show up is the the internal storage. How do i creat a partition?
Ok i found the sd card. Its under device storage. It wont let me put anything on it though
All im wanting to do is put a custom rom on my sd card so i can flash it.
Make sure that your SD card is formatted in a way that your computer can read it. For best compatibility, format it as FAT32. You'll probably need to plug it into a computer in order to do this, which probably defeats the point in trying to do this using the device as a huge SD card reader.
Also, if your card -is not- the microSD card, make sure that it is not ticked to the 'lock' direction. On normal sized SD cards, there is a moveable nub.
Check to see if you can write files to the SD card FROM the Transformer. If you can, the alternative is to download the rom file to your Transformer, and then put it on the SD card from there.
Bumping your thread/making multiple subsequent posts won't make it so that you receive assistance quicker. If anything, it will make people ignore you because You are a Noob. You hate yourself(azrienoch, YouTube, 2011).
i can see it fine on the transformer. Could it be something wrong with cmw. How do i reformat it.
Plug your SD card into the computer, and use your disk management software that ships with your computer. If you're on Mac OS X, use Disk Utility. If you're on Linux, use cfdisk or fdisk.
On my machine(windows xp), if in windows explorer I click on
Transformer TF101 - Portable Media Player,
I get two different options
Internal Storage or Micro SD
This was after an update to the ASUS sync software though.
Originally I could only see the MicroSD was through
Internal Storage->MicroSD
When accessed through the tranformer, this is not writable. This is a limitation of sd cards. You can't have two hosts with write access.
The other way is to put it in internal storage, then use the transformer's File manager and copy from the SDcard, and move it to /Removable/MicroSD
Ok the sync program i downloaded is not in english. Its the one fromthewebsite too
Can you clarify if it is a SDCard(in the dock), or a microSD card(in the tablet)?
You can't see the dock storage from a pc, I believe. I also think you can't install roms from the dock.
Sorry i probably didnt know what the dock meant then.
It is in my tablet. I plug it into the computer. If i go to computer and look at it it says. Asus Transformer tf101. Click on it again and it says device storage and thats it. Its like it cant see my sd card at all. Is there a way to go into usb mode or something so my pc can see it? Also on my sd card all it says is lost. something. Shouldnt there be more since i rooted it. I got su functions
I think that you should be able to see it through internal storage, either Removable folder, or microsd folder.
If not, just copy it to the internal memory, and cut/paste it through the transformer file manager

Problem with internal SD

I have a problem with my phone. Everytime a flash a new rom, stock or custom, when I connect the phone via mass storage to the pc, if I try copping a file to internal sd, it says that is full, although it isn't.
Is this a hardware problem or different?
Tnx !
no its not a problem. all of us experience it. we can mount internal and external but we cant put files on it in pc. You can in your file explorer or any file manager but i assure you not a sd card problem
EDIT- just clearing out the above statement the 2nd sentence, just for internal but for external, you can put files.

empty/hidden folders in "Device\storage" can't access Sd card

Hey
With the new android update for this phone i can no longer browse to the sd card via the directory of device\
usually there is a link to the external sd card in device\storage but now its all empty there and i can only access the internal storage via Device\sdcard.
If i use a file browser like Es media then u can select the external sd card directly and access it. But the problem im having is when im in simple apps like ePSXe it wont let me reach the external sd card since i have to manually browse to it but there is no shortcuts to it anywhere. There was one app that allowed the full path to be manually added which worked since the folders are hidden or something.
Its like samsung have hidden the folders link to the external card.
Is there a way to create a shortcut from the internal storage that point to "device\storage\D8C7--9661" (which is my external sd card)?
