First Thing Is First, You Do Know That There Is No Root Folder Right?
Second, When You Go To Settings > Storage What Does It Say?
when i go to settings. it shows me sd card.. when i go to sd card setting, it gives me two options..
1st Option : format the sd card
2nd Option: unmount the card.
this phone doesnt show me any folder to go to sd card.. or any root folder....
Do you have a file explorer installed? For example: ES file explorer, Astro file explorer, Linda file explorer. All these can be found on the Android market. Hope this helps.
So i have just rooted and unlocked the phone. I am trying to put recovery on it, i put the update zip file on the root of the sd card manually by putting the sd card in my pc and transferring then tried installing it via the sammy recovery but it says no file found. When i connect via usb and select mass storage it shows the drive but when i click it, please insert removable disk.
Its a 4gb micro sd, i tried a 2gb as well
Don't confuse the SD card with the external SD card. What the file system shows as SD card is actually internal memory partitioned as a 16 gb "card" for our use. The file system shows the actual SD card that can be removed as "external_SD".

You need to start over on installing your drivers. Uninstall them from control panel, then go intoprogram files, find the folder labeled "Samsung"and delete it. Restart your computer. Now, reinstall your drivers. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into the back of your computer, not th he front. Let it go through the process of identifying your phone and installing the drivers.
i removed all the drivers but when i try to reinstall the sgh i897 drivers i get this error
samsung android usb modem driver was not installed successfully 16
Download kies, the full version not mini. After you install it, look under tools. There's an option to install drivers. Do that.
Hi, I followed the instructions to install cynagen Mod, I used a new micro sd card

- Android/
- DCIM/
- LOST.DIR/
none of these dir have anything in them ,
where could the files be , where did i go wrong
thanks a bunch in advance
Hello Jazzygaz. It sounds like you have put the installation files (cyanogenmod7.zip and gapps.zip or whatever) on your external sdcard, but when you are trying to install them (through Clockworkmod I assume?) it is looking at your internal sdcard.
Try copying the files over to your internal sdcard's root directory (where the directories you mentioned showed up) and install from there instead. Use a root file explorer to copy the install files over, or remove the sdcard before putting it into mass storage and copy them from your PC. Remove your external sdcard before you power up the tablet to enter Clockwork.
I transferred the SD card from my phone to the Shield and I have a couple of installers/APKs in there that I wanted to install. So I downloaded ES File Explorer, navigated to Storage/sdcard1/path/to/apks and when trying to install, I get a parsing error message. I can only install the apk if I copy it to internal storage. How do I get it to install from the sd card?

I've no clue why you weren't able to do it.
But i was able to do it without any hassle.
I've few APk's for Benchmarks, MXPlayer(Free version) & some test applications which i keep swapping using my SD Card.
I was able to browse them through ES File explorer & Install flawlessly.
Are you doing this for the Games ?
Most games(off late), need the respective libraries to be present. example: /media/obb

Same here, after/right before the latest update.
I'll probably try reformatting the sd card again. Mine went straight from my s3 to the Shield but really don't think that would have mattered since its still just a fat32 formatted sd card so its kind of weird for it to act like that inside the Shield.

Well i have the same problem i cant install apks using my external storage(microsd 64 gb) any solutions to this problem?
To clarify i clicked origin resource in the developers mode,even enable it i cant install apks from my nvidia shield
Parsing error fix!
2 solutions
1.) first make sure you format the SDcard with the device.
2.) if that doesnt work or can't simply use your pc or file explorer to copy the apk to devices internal memory this resolved my issues with Nvidia shield and Samsung note 2
I want to save space and have sd card, pendrive and an otg cable, now how can I get the phone to install large apps to the usb storage by default?
There's an end of stupidity my dear friend. If you want to save space you can even move your other files to USB.
Nevertheless, if you're willing to do so. Here is the procedure.
1. Install Root explorer. (It's a paid app on play store)
2. Install all your apps as usual.
3. Through Root explorer, go to /data/apps folder and move all the *.apk you would like to have on your USB.
4. Then manually long click on each .apk and choose to create a link and link it to /data/apps/(here)
5. Take care every time you boot your phone you must have your USB connected otherwise the link would break and you'd have to relink them. Don't do this for Moor than 10 apps which have a size of at least 20MB.
