If the files are there, but you can't access them, it means that the partition isn't mounted. If you can't mount it, you'll need to go into CWM, format your sdcard partition, and sync your media back on to the phone.

Yes the files are there, i'm sure bcs the memory is used. But it doesnt show in gallery neither in my pc.
How to mount it btw ? Thanks for ur respond

So correct me if Im wrong you go to your music app and you dont see your tracks?
What music player do you use? I use playerpro myself and it is pretty leet. There are options to re scan for media (for adding stuff MTP) and manual scans for media. What media players do this to you? Also, if I am correct you are the one that has SD card issues with some JB roms right? What file system are you using for the SD card? Are you using MTP or Mass storage mode for USB transfers? Have you tried a new SD card? What is your main file format not showing up on your playlist, mp3 or m4b/a, etc. Is there a specific reason you need to do the sd swap like a game or certain app?
I know its a lot of questions but I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. I think it might be your SD card. Can you grab an old one somewhere, reformat it inside android, then do the SD swap and see if your music works then? Might be best to do a clean flash while you are at it. You could also try and download playerpro or the vlc beta and see if it sees it. I personally don't even install the stock music player anymore.
If you need to fix permissions you can do it under CWM/advanced. Let me know how it works out for you, I know how it feels to have that one little itch keeping you from enjoying the hell outta this phone.

well to answer your questions as they were asked 1 Apollo / 2 Paranoid Android ( newest version ) EXT4 / /3 Both ( MTP and MASS ) / 4 this SD card is practically brand new ive reformatted it one time under the windows reformat back into EXT4 with DEFAULT settings and allocation / 5 MP3 and M4A not showing for codec's of music / 6 games and apps and music i love this phone gonna prolly pick up a galaxy S2 / S3 ( the S3 has quad core S4 chip i believe so much much faster ) ive fixed permissions ive re installed busybox to 1.20.2 have done clean flash and re install have downloaded playerpro ( the 4.1.2 had worked flawlessly on the way down to CA from KS on the greyhound so it was working great then and now it's not wanting to c anything for music specifically ) ( i had reformatted and installed 4.1.2 PA about 2 days ago and before the swap it had seen my EXTERNAL MICRO SDHC as EXTERNAL ( NO SWAPPING at the point of reinstall ) but i had swapped it and then nothing so that's were im stuck
I hate Apollo personally. I listen to a lot of audio books and its hard to find a player that never forgets where you pause. It doesnt sound like its your player though... I think it might be your sdcard. I know it works on other roms, but can you try your old card or a different one? Mine cut out like that a few times before I lost everything but only a few times. Also, try to go to CM file explorer and open a folder while the music player is open to see if that jump starts it.
I wasn't aware there was a PA 4.2.1
None the less, put your sdcard in your computer and copy everything off of it
Put sdcard back in phone and got to settings/storage/erase sdcard
reboot phone
plug phone into computer and mount usb storage
copy all your stuff back to the sdcard
reboot to recovery
delete cache and dalvik
fix perms
reboot
open apollo
enjoy your tunes
I get a fc sometimes when switching tracks. I quit using Apollo and use googles app.when in the app you should see your music. As thomas is telling you, I would try what he said, because I've always been able to see my music.

Just format "Fat" not 16 or 32 or NTFS or [email protected] or 4 (format it with windows
You know I have to ask... what format is your music? I remember that you couldn't see your music on 4.1.2 but could on stock and tweaked. Is it because your files are WMA? ...I just came to this realization that not only will JB ROMs not play WMA, they won't even show up in any music player. Just curious.

HELP!! Lost photos

Hi all,
My wife's phone went into recovery screen (not rooted) when she turned it on after being flat. As a result it did a factory reset and with internal storage SD all photos and video are gone. Dozens of photos of our newborn son and she's beside herself.
Being Jellybean you can't mount as USB to do a normal data recovery on it as a standard drive which sucks.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how to get this phone mounted somehow so can data recover the memory on it?
Help will not go unrewarded.....
Thanks

This. But beyond this, you want to make sure that whatever data remains isn't overwritten. That means don't start installing more apps and taking more pictures. There are also professionals who make attempts at recovering data, but those services are relatively expensive. It doesn't sound like you're ready to root, but there are apps that can help rooted users, as the person above me mentioned.

You should be able to access the sdcard in recovery via adb shell. You probably need custom recovery though

My kid was screaming halfway through the first post and when i came back to submit, it asked me for my password again. Figured it didn't work so made a new post. Oops.
I have rooted my own personal one-x, dhd's, sensations etc so i'm not against it but i know if i unlock the bootloader through htc-dev it will wipe the phone again so i'm loathe to do that for the moment.
Just sucks JB can't simply mount USB like ICS. It would have taken me 5 minutes to get her stuff back instead it's been 2 days already.
I've now got the phone showing as a 'media device' in windows explorer with full access to the 24gb of 'sd card space' but still can't run a recovery program as doesn't assign a drive letter.
Going to be a long day.
Moved to Q&A.

[Q] [HELP] All my media (photos,videos) except rintones are deleted!

Hi Guys,
I'm utterly confused as to how can (only) all my photos and videos be selectively deleted from my phone!
From both my internal sdcard and external sdcard, only my pictures (of any format and in any folder) and the videos have been deleted!
I had connected my phone to my laptop in the MTP mode. I was trying to create a folder on my external sdcard. I tried to rename that folder to 'Books' but in-spite of my repeated tries it was still staying as 'New Folder'.
So I disconnected my phone and now connected it in 'USB storage' mode. This time I could see the 'New Folder' and rename it and copy the stuff I wanted to copy.
But suddenly I realised that the free space on my phone had increased!! I didn't know how then and I left But later in the night when I decided to change my wallpaper, I found out what had befallen me. But still clueless how and why this has transpired! :crying:
I'm running Avatar ROM 2.8b and Butter Kernel 1.3 stable.
Thanks and regards,
Nakul
My classmate once had such an issue on another phone with stock GB. It might be a very rare issue, but it seems to happen sometimes.

Hey Adam,
Any idea if I can recover them by some means? May be some software you're aware of?

Connect your phone in UMS mode to PC and try Recuva file recovery software. I have used it many times and am very satisfied with it.

No sound while recording - ROM Infamous

Hi friends,
I've just installed the ROM Infamous Open Kang (android 4.3 - @Jamison904). Everything is very smooth but when I record video using ROM's camera app, it turns out that there is no sound in the video. I also try Camera ZOOM FX but the problem is still happening. I thought the issue would be from the ROM, but you know, I install Voice recorder app from Play Store and it can record sounds normally.
[My Device:Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000]
Plz help me... many thanks to everybody.
Not sure as I didn't try that myself. I will test tonight and pull some longs. Thanks for the heads up my friend.
Hi, here is another thing relating to my 16GB storage...
U know, I just see 11.5GB available in my device even when I connect it with my laptop. So, there might has some more hidden storage, right? How could I make it appeared? And how could I make the 11.5GB appeared in the recovery mode? Whenever I want to flash something, I have to put it in another External card of my cell phone. Next, I plug in the external card to my tablet. Then, I could see zip files and install them by accessing to CWM's function "install zip from external card".
And... the "Phone" app in the ROM does not work... Everytime when I open it, an error appears "Unfortunately, Dialer has stopped."

You have 16GB, but 4,5GB are used for system, kernel, etc... so you only get 11,5GB for your personal use. And yes, you can put .zip files in a sdcard and flash it through recovery, in the "install zip from external card" function.
I'm on the N8013 so i don't have dialer, but you can try to force stop dialer, clean cache and data and give it another try.

Have you checked this? I really like the 4.3 version as I see it has less bugs than the 4.4 version, I didn't test much on both versions as my wife use tha tablet to recird videos :laugh:
I found one file somewhere here that could help.
dropbox.com/s/sprca0n48lu267y/Android%204.1%20to%20Android%204.2%20Stable.zip
it's some apps from 4.2.2 that can be flashed to 4.1. the camera works fine.
maybe @Jamison904 can use the files to sort the camera issue out.

[Q] GT-I8262, how to undelete/recover deleted pics & videos?

First of all, I have to say I'm a total noob so I will try to make things as simple as possible.
2 days ago, a friend deleted some pics and videos which are pretty important to me. I tried to switch the phone to USB mass storage device mode (and later undelete files with Recuva or some similar program), like I did with my last one, but then I realized that Core doesn't have that option So, my question would be - is there any chance to recover it or should I quit? The phone is on default settings, not rooted or anything.
Quit, sorry but if ure using stock kernel there is no option...
So, there is no possibility to root it now and then recover it with some software? Damn..

Root? What'd you root it for?
Sorry, my bad, didn't explain all facts in the first post. I found on google that there are some programs to enable USB mass storage device mode on Galaxy Core, so I downloaded one of them - USB Mass Storage Enabler. When I enter it, it says:
Your device does not seem to be rooted, this application requires root to work.
So I guess there is a slight possibility that I can undelete those files, maybe... but it would be of great help if someone would confirm, if there is someone who had the same problem.
If you had the photos on SD card then you can recover them using iCare Recovery Software or any other recovery software.
I don't have a SD card, it's on internal memory card.
Can someone just confirm that nothing can be done? So I can stop searching for a solution on google and all kinds of forums...

it can restore Deleted Files.
