Hey all. So, When I am on my phone, I see everything on my SD card. Unfortunately, when I plug my phone into my computer, I only see one folder. Does anyone have any idea or remedy for this situation? Much appreciated for the help.
Update : Apparently it doesn't always read the phone either. Is this an issue on my computer? Or the device?

I plugged my phone into the laptop and the install drivers thing came up and i was doing it but for some reason my wireless connection was acting up so i just cancelled knowing that i'd do it later but now i plug the phone in and the install drivers thing doesnt pop up. even when i select mount on the phone. so i knows my phone is there but doesnt read my sd card. can anyone help? im using windows. (i know there is another thread like this but they had problems after spliting the sd card, i havent done that so its a different issue)
Still asking for help from fellow members, I'm trying to start themeing and I wanna split my sd card so I need ythe laptop to read my sd card
I have the exact same stupid problem... It is extremely frustrating.. I have been told that it might be a problem with the type of SD card that you are using (Transend, San Disk.. ect). Im trying to Update to Stock rc 33 from root. (root to unroot). Any ideas..? It also might depend on what route you are taking to copy the theme, update ect to the the SD card... faulty USB cord or through a faulty card reader.. which could in turn corrupt the file.. you know what i mean..? lol ugh.. It is a hugggge pain in the arse.
Hey Guys,
I recently was using my phone, it accidently slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. My phone works fine but the problem is that the SD Card is not reading, when it reads it my phone gets locked/freezed, I cannot unlock the lock screen, or do anything else. I also cannot read it via my USB Card Reader. I don't know what is wrong. Can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Izzy

Can you unlock the lock screen without the card in the device? Have you tried a different card?
Do you have important data on the card? You may need to enlist someone who can use an SD card recovery program to try to make an image of the card for analysis and recovery.

Hello,
Thanks for replying, I have no important data except for some pictures that I have stored (not all of them) on Facebook. I also had music on there, but it's okay, i'll get them again. It's a 8GB Card though, but it came with the phone. Oh well, i'll try something myself, no big deal
Thanks,
Izzy

Sorry I couldn't be more help. You won't find much in the way of SD card diagnostic tools on Android, it would probably be easiest to boot into Linux and use some of the tools there, or else find one for Windows (in my experience most are paid apps).
Recently (a couple of days ago to be exact), I tried partitioning my SD card... It worked fine but when I formatted, the system recommended that I close all running apps. I did during partition but during format I did not (stupid yes) and this damaged my SD card. So this is the problem: The phone can still read it (it shows my SD storage capacity at Settings and I was able to successfully transfer some apps to it) but the pc cannot. Whenever I connect it to pc, it doesn't do anything like show the number of things that you can do with the mass storage device; I can't even see what drive it is. I need help. Can I still salvage the SD card? I've tried formatting the card via the android device twice.
I have a back-up too, but I would like to try saving the SD card. Thank you!
I did not see any similar problems but if this question has already been submitted, I am very sorry.

Thank you, I'll look into it tomorrow (as I don't have a USB Card Reader right now)

It worked for the SD card, but my pc won't detect it as a mass storage device (which it always does before). I might have overlooked some tips at the thread you gave, so I'll look again tomorrow.
Hi. This is my first post so please forgive me. I just installed the new KitKat Custom ROM by Echoed onto my GT-N8020 Galaxy Note 10.1. I have installed many ROMs on many devices with no problems. ROM installed fine as always but now I have a problem. When I connect to my computer via USB I cannot see the external SD card in My Computer. The internal SD is displayed though. I have tried Googling all day with no luck. All I can find is info on the SD permissions problem etc. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this as I am stumped. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers

first off, it has to be in mtp mode, not camera to even have a chance.
have you tried other cables/ports/cards? try putting the card in only when the tab is already in the pc, or putting the card in a powered off phone and booting up the phone once its connected, or failing that, just use a micro sd card reader.
you can alos try apps like ums for galaxy s3 (from playstore) and see if it works for you.
To enable Mass Storage mode, do the following:
Download Terminal app
Then type this, and press enter after each line:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage
reboot
After rebooting, plug it in, mount usb storage. If required, format it.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the terminal command as I didn't know about that one. In the end I got rid of Echoes KitKat ROM for n8020 and installed original Cyanogen ROM and voila......all problems gone. Must be a lot of bugs in the Echoe ROM as external SD Card was not visible on computer or even writable to. And 4g was not working.
Thanks for your help guys. I really appreciate it and will have to remember to try your suggestions if this ever happens again. Cheers
hey guys... i'm having some problems with my buddies' sandisk 32 gb ultra micro sdhc. I think it might be bricked. idk how he did it but he was telling me that there was nothing on it and i checked and he was right.. he has a galaxy tab 4 and never unmounts his card before he pulls it out. wonder if that wasn't some of the cause. it said sd card was broken or damaged or something like that and it offered an option to format. so we hit format but now it seems like it is completerly gone. i was gonna reload it for him but figured out something more was wrong as the computer would do absolutely nothing when i put it in. never shows up under devices with removable storage or nothin. i can put it in my galaxy player and it says preparing sd card and then it does nothing... never mounts and acts like it ain't there. so just to be sure it wasn't the computer, i put my own sd card into the computer and that worked fine!! sooo i did some research and it looked like a program called sdformatter might be able to help me. but i tried that and unfortunately that didn't recognize it either. i've looked everywhere but i can't seem to find a solution that works. idk what to do anymore... help is really appreciated!!:good:
thanks in advance
