I'm rooted and running cm9 stable. For some reason after flashing cm9 no file manager is working. Anyone else having this issue? Is it because I'm rooted?

What file managers have you tried? What is the exact error? What happens when you try?
I've tried astro, es, root explorer. And no error pops up its just I can't read any files like I use to on stock. When I got to my external sd there's nothing there. And I know it's there because everything is have on my sd card is on my phone. Very annoying. I've tried almost all file managers. I'm running cm9.

Can you verify that both /sdcard and /emmc are empty as per the file managers? Can you access the data (lets say pictures) via the gallery app?
Yes I have music, pictures, and video on sd and I can access them all on the gallery/media player

Please verify that /emmc and /sdcard mounting points are empty via file manager of choice.
Also what this feels like to me is that you are not aware of the way CM9 mounts your Internal/External SD cards.
Internal Memory: /emmc
External SD: /sdcard
Now you will have a folder called "external_SD" on your memory card, this is a left over from stock and will not function as before.

I did not that all the files did that emmc somewhere. So I can view my external and internal now?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure what you're trying to say but /emmc is the internal memory and /sdcard is external SD card.
You probably are not seeing your files because they are all in the /emmc "folder" (which used to be called sdcard when you were on a stock rom)
In ES File Explorer go to "Settings" > "Root Settings“ and mark the "Up to Root" option.
Exit settings you should see "/sdcard" at the top of the app.
Press the "UP" button on the toolbar, it will now display "/" at the top of the app.
Congratulations, you have made it to the very top level of your devices file system.
You will find "emmc" and "sdcard" which are your internal and external "memory card" locations.
Shazam.
If for any reason you don't see this, attach a screen shot at each step and add them to this post.

I don't use Astro so I cannot guide you but I can say you need to get to /emmc or /sdcard. You either have to go up to the root filesystem "/" or access the "folders" directly via "/emmc" or "/sdcard" I don't know how many times I can say it.

Flashed cm7 and now trying to flash different modem through CWM. In root explorer I can see the modem.zip but I can't see any of the other rom.zips I keep on the root of my sdcard. Can't find them anywhere within root explorer in fact. So when I go to CWM to flash the modem.zip, I get the opposite...all other rom.zips and kernels are there but the new modem.zip is not?
Smh

Nothing?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Where are you copying the modem? Internal or external SD? External SD isn't visible in CWM (atleast on my phone).
If using clockwork mod as the above poster stated you have to copy the zips to the internal SD.

So does this mean that CM7 still cant 'see' extenal sd?
on IRC I was told to check /emmc but I did not find this with ES file explorer.
Am I missing something?

I literally JUST figured this out. For some reason, in root explorer, I have to put my downloaded zips (modems, kernels, roms, etc) in a folder on the root of my phone in a folder called emmc. This is new after flashing cm7 and somehow I guess I missed this helpful tip somewhere. Anyways. That is the folder in which I need to put items I want to flash through cwm. So sorted...
What's IRC? I apologize if this is obvious and missed that too lol!

I just upgraded to GB 2.3.6 and then rooted by installing a new kernel via odin. I went in and tried to do a nandroid backup and it brings up an error that it can't mount the sdcard. Did i do something wrong or is my card going bad?

Interesting. If you use the 'Files' application when the phone is running does it show you anything? It should display the files/folders on the sdcard.
Yes I can see all my files and such just not in recovery

maybe do a fix permissions? I'm wondering if they somehow got hosed & prevent CWM from mounting.

Nope fixing permissions did nothing for it. It still brings up can't mount sdcard error. i can't install any zip files too, same error

What was the phone running before you upgraded? Did you have CWM, voodoo, etc?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Try backing up your SD card and then reformat it to see if that fixes the error
agreed back up sd card, maybe try changing voodoo, then is that doesn't work reformat and good to go
Can't format the scard on the phone since it won't mount. any other ideas. i am not sure what i am doing with voodoo so didn't mess with that.

If your computer, Wii, or whatever can mount the sdcard you could format it that way.
Have you tried shutting the phone down, removing the SD card, and putting it back?
Do you have the Android SDK installed? If so, put the phone in USB debugging mode, crank up a shell (adb shell), and type:
mount
If the filesystem is actually able to mount the phone during normal operation you will see a line similar to this (note it's all actually 1 line):
/dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dm
ask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
If you see that, try these commands:
cd /
ls -l sdcard
That should show you the effective permissions on the sdcard, like this:
ls -l sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-11-20 10:16 sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard
The 'l' means it's a symbolic link (shortcut, in essence) to another place (/mnt/sdcard)
The rwxrwxrwx are the permissions (read, write, execute). You see it three times because permissions are listed for user (rwx) group (rwx) and global (rwx).
The 'root root' is the owner and group for that directory.
If you were able to execute the command, do your permissions & ownership look the same?
So...I've been following Shabby's thread in the dev forum, but can't post there yet due to being new. Everything works fine to the point where he says to flash the SuperSU zip from recovery.
Basically, there's nothing seen on the SD card in recovery mode. I've verified the file is there from the Terminal in normal mode, and the permissions are a mix of 777 and 755 in there. Only the DCIM and bug2go directories appear in recovery. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. I am a happy lady with this phone but want to finish the root job!

Wow, I was not expecting you to answer personally
Er...it's a 16GB microSD card i purchased and put into the SD slot. I suppose that makes it external...? At any rate I know the recovery flash is looking at it because I see the same directory structure in Android's terminal at /sdcard/, just almost nothing in it shows up in recovery.

I think there is a selection somewhere that you can tell it what to see as the SDCard, internal or external. Read it somewhere. Or maybe that doesn't apply here, just trying to help
If you downloaded it with your phone it is saved in a folder on the internal storage, use the files app to copy it to external 1, which is ur sd card. Cwm doesn't see internal storage, everything is saved to and pulled from the sd card when in recovery.

It's probably my only real complaint about this phone. Internal storage showing up as /sdcard is just stupid, but I understand why they did it.
I hit this bug while rooting mom's phone. I grabbed the microSD from my tablet and it worked great

Think I found it in data/media, that what u were lookin for? Guess that makes sense, a data wipe clears it.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
whoa what?!
a factory reset wipes out internal storage?
does it do it on stock or just cwm?
and yes i need to know a bit more info if it is /data/media as its home
Haven't done a stock reset yet, workin on figuring out how to. Confirm wipe data/ factory reset in cwm wipes the internal sd.
There is a shortcut in the root of system dir, as well as in /mnt, to sd card (internal). Both have the sd icon next to them, data/media location shows as a folder. Idk what all you want on this, lemme know what I can get for you. I will figure out how to stock reset to confirm.

wasnt a waste i got internal sd mapped now, a factory reset will wipe all teh stuff listed above, however it very well could have been wiping the internal sdcard. so if that was teh case its cuz of you it was avoided
Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

I personally did it this way on the advice of the developer of synergy and worked flawless
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.

When I check storage under settings, it shows misc files is using 6.8 GB and under that clockworkmod is using 5.15 GB. Is this normal? It seems like a lot of space is being used. I can only download a handful of apps because it always says I'm out of space.
6.8 5.15

Clockworkmod directory contains your nandroid backups.
Check it with some file manager. There will be a backup directory holding your backups.

It depends on how many nandroid backups you have stored there. Those files can use up quite a bit of space. I have two backups, and they take 4.1GB in total. But I don't use internal storage for nandroids -- my backups are on the external SD card, so it doesn't concern me much...
So if I store my backups to Storage/sdcard1 that will be on my sdcard rather than internal?

Whatever the path to your external SD card is, I don't know... I am running a stock-based ROM on my P3113, and my path is /storage/ExtSdCard in Android, and /external_sd in recovery (I use PhilZ Touch CWM). Basically, I just select an option "Backup to External sdcard" in recovery, that's it.
