Sdcard file system error???

Im not sure if thats what i really have but after applying adp1.1h jfv1.42 or 3 whatever i got, I lost the ability to view any files below the top layer. i have my images and download folders but can not see the files or folders below that. Could i have somehow messed up my card to not allow me to see those folders? I need help bad! I need to try and retrieve that data and then can worry about formatting the card if need be.
Thanks and sorry for just jumping in on this for the second post. I'm not completely versed in the ways of the linux.

[Q] Urgent - need help with an issue on my xoom.

Previously I was using cm9, after that I upgraded to cm10. I wiped data, wiped cache in cwm recovery.
After that, I tried xfering some files over to my tab, it looked like this

From this picture, it can be seen that my internal memory has files and is not empty
yet when I enter the folder
i. imgur.com/Mn7lR.png
Completely empty, cant be seen.
Even after trying to copy and paste files in, only the new files appear, can no longer find my old files.
Can anybody help me? same thing for the SD card. SD card only detected when I removed and plugged in with external usb card reader to my pc.
(I can't post images yet, hopefully someone with >10 posts can hotlink it for me).
Really urgent because I have to use it for my lecture notes in school.

If you want a workaround on this issue, you can use a cloud storage app. For example, dropbox (go to my signature and click the dropbox logo) can allow you to transfer files without even plugging your Xoom into your computer

Managed to solve the issue by doing a complete memory wipe on my internal hard disk but backing up important files before hand w dropbox as the files are still accessible with astro.
No idea how this happened though.

It's called MTP. Hahahaha in other words windows sucks.
Really what happens is the file list directory isn't updated so it doesn't show up on explorer. I don't even use explorer, I just use ADB push or pull.

AOKP tried to wipe internal SD

I finally tried to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 build 5 the other day, and was outraged when my internal sd (/sdcard) appeared blank. That's right, all my pictures, videos, downloads, everything, gone.. Even after restoring back to 4.1.2, nothing.
However, when booting into TWRP and going to the file explorer, and navigating to /sdcard, all my old files appear there.. Thanks to TWRP I was able to copy over my old internal SD card files to my external. However, I can't seem to find the place that AOKP now seems to think is my internal SD. Somehow /mnt/sdcard is pointing to a different place in my internal storage now and I cannot determine where.
Does anyone know what happened? Why does TWRP and AOKP find two complete different locations for \mnt\sdcard? How to I make AOKP point to where it used to?

if im understanding correctly this is completely normal.
youre stuff is moved to somewhere else. cant remember the file path. hopefully someone can psot it up.
check the OPs of the 4.2.2 threads and do a search its orobably pretty easy to find.

Its not moved. When you flash a 4.2.2 ROM it makes a "0" folder on your internal. It will only read from there. Anything not in that 0 folder will not be read. It has to do with the multi user support in 4.2.x from what I've read.

Thanks guys. With your responses I was able to find this:

It explains the situation. I completely skipped over the 0 folder. It just looked like some stupid temp directory. Case closed.

[Q] How to recover files from lost.dir

Hi!
As the topic suggests, i want to know how to recover files from lost.dir
Recently, my photos suddenly moved to Lost.dir directory in my SD card and rename the file extension one by one is going to take forever(I have over 1000 photos)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
Update: SOLVED! I rename the files extension in lost.dir to .jpg in batch using Extension Changer
Now, my photos are all back !

Anyone?

Solved!

Last time I was having the same problem, then I found a guide which helped me, you may take a look: lost.dir android data recovery
hope this helps.

Sorry I cannot post links so I'll try my best to describe the process.
Mark0, a developer wrote a small software called trID that you can use to recover files in lost.dir for free.
Here's your magic link
hxxp://echo.com.ng/2013/howto-recover-files-lost-dir-folder-free/

renaming file extension didn't work for me. All my images extension were successfully renamed to .jpg but still I got an error "Invalid Image","Cannot open Image' etc.
Help me

I am facing similar issue, but in my case I was using 500 gb hard drive with fat 32 format. Now lost.dir is showing file ranging from 415 gb of size to few kbs
My 450 gb data just remained 15 gb, rest all has gone in lost.dir

[Completed] [Q] Recover wiped /storage/emulated/0

I had connected my OnePlus One to the PC and was cleaning the Internal SD when I noticed this
/storage/emulated/0 folder.
It had just 1 file in it and I didn't know what it was and accidentally deleted it.
Now every media file and other documents which were stored on my phone got completely wiped. I cannot even recover it since the phone has only MTP or PTP mode and I don't know how to recover it from these modes as standard recovery softwares dont recognise it...
Is there any way I can get back my files and images as they were really important since they were pictures of my late friend! :/
Thanks

You have just wiped your Internal SDCard Partition. There is extremely remote and painful possibility of recovering it. You are better off flashing Stock Firmware to the Phone.
