Hi I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 with the Resurrection Remix ICS v.1.9.1 ROM and everything went fairly well except that my external sdcard looked like it had been totally erased. While this was irritating it was not devastating (had a backup) but when i attached my sgs2 to my computer to copy the backup back to the sdcard i noticed that everything was there, i hadn't lost a single file. I went back and looked at the card via my phone and it still looks empty but i did notice (after further inspection) that it is almost full. I checked to make sure view hidden files was enabled, it was, but still nada (using OI File manager and File Explorer). I got no ideas would really appreciate any ideas on what i might do to fix this issue.
Cheers,

Hi, thanks for the quick reply but i had tried those things (I shoulda mentioned that, sorry). I have tried combinations of use internal storage and MTP but still not able to see the contents of the exsd card (haven't had problems seeing the card itself, just the contents on the card).

copy the contents of the sdcard to your computer, and format the sd card from your phone. Try again.

hi I tried to format it then copy a few things back on it but strangely it still shows up like it did before, that is, before there was one lone/empty folder that showed up (nothing else showed up through android, but i could see it via windows) but after i formated it, this folder (named "AudioBooks" that i had made before) still shows up when i try to look at the cards contents via android. This folder does not show up in windows, and nothing new that i copy to the card shows up in Android still.
Is there perhaps some sort of cache that i should clear as it seems to be showing me "bits from the past" (though also strange how it only shows me that audiobooks folder and not any of the 5 other folders that i had on there previously).
Any thoughts/ideas would really be appreciated!

Maka a backup and restore original rom, and see if the problem persists. If not, you should notify a bug to Resurrection Remix rom developer.
Similar problem
I have had a similar problem. Been using RR last few months and all been good. Since I updated to RR 2.2 could not access my internal SD card. I had a few backups and as soon as I restored 2.1 viola everything's fine.
Tried using Siyah 3.2.7.2 and 3.3.1 kernels with no luck.
Have tried wiping everything and doing a fresh install with 2.2 but same issue. Did you have any luck?

Could be corrupt files on you sd card. A bit time consuming, but doesn't hurt..
- Copy your sd card onto your pc.
- Format sd card (fat32)
- Copy everything back
I read somewhere that this problem can be caused with mounting your sd card from your phone via usb. I know I had a lot of problems with Android seeing the new files I copied over so I stopped doing it (connecting via usb).

Do you want to me to try still?
Any other suggestions?
Just dittoing. Having the same problem with chuckyrom + mattc 1.5. Seems to happen when i'm not using the phone for a while.
Can I load the stock firmware , and install HSP3 and start running android?
Do I need to have a different ROM to run this? All I understood was earlier there was a sound issue but not now..Can I do the above step?

I had this same self-reboot issues, regardless of android build, even after deleting and re-creating the android folder in the sd card.
Following is how I managed to solve it:
Take out sd card and use card reader, mount it on a winxp machine.
Copy ALL files to a backup folder in pc. Use 'xcopy /e /c *.* c:\sdbak\.' for example, as normal copy/paste wouldn't work if it found errors due to corrupted files.
Use sd formatter. Refer to this thread. Do a Full format; a class 2, 8GB will take around 10 minutes to complete.
Copy back each backup folder into the formatted sd card, one by one. Recreate and copy your favorite android build onto the sd card.
Reinsert sd card, boot up and start android from fresh.
Let us know if this works for you.
i did do full format in xp before and have random reboot problems. Maybe something happened since then, ill try this tool.
Did it and no dice, still reboots. Im gonna try another suggestion about uninstalling setcpu.
setcpu
this restart happens to me everytime i use setcpu im on shubcraft 1.4b with the r4 overclocked zimage labeled NewKernels_LatestGIT_r4_BTalternative it just started happening with this zimage. are you using setcpu try uninstalling it it worked for me! i never had this prob with the original zimage! hope this helps!

It doesn't work. It still reboots inspite of doing all the above steps.
I have the same issue with crashing back to windows mobile when inactive, this is only recent for me, previously Android was solid as a rock. Guess I will try a build without adding apps or settings and see if it crashes, then add apps one at a time.
Does anyone know of a way of catching the error/crash reason?

Just a note, shub and darkstone's builds gave me random reboots. Ive moved to mattc's nexus based build and it has been super solid.
I have installed mattc 1.7 and zimage r11 with all .ko files and no longer experience reboots in android, I use task manager and setcpu also, its worth trying a this if you have probs

Am i doing something stupid, I cant get the mp3's I have on my SD card to be seen in the Albums/Artists etc in the stock music player app.
I can see no option to "add" them into it.
They exist on the external SD card.
Not had this issue before.. anyone got any ideas?
Try to copy the files to your pc - and then format thd sd-card when it is in the phone. Copy the files back on the sd-card.
I have a similar problem on my SGS, and this method was the solution.

My first issue with Galaxy S II. Will have to try this, my 15GB of music on external sd is not recognised
Still, anybody found out why this is happening in the first place? The only thing I remember doing that had anything to do with sdcard was installing Multi Mount SD-Card widget in hopes that it would give me quick access to mounting sdcard as mass storage. Didn't work though, uninstalled it and now music not recognised. I can see it in file manager no problem,it's just media store that is not finding anything on external sd card
Thanks for any tips.
I should have replied back.
Doing exactly the recommended worked a treat.
Now any new files i add to the SD card work fine. It's odd why it didnt work from day one though, but it works now!

I think the only plausible reason for this issue may be the file system that the ROM uses. After each time you change the ROM, try to make sure that you format the SD card to avoid problems like this in the future.
If it isn't about the file system, then I don't know, maybe the problem could be caused by the ROM itself, since it's "home-made", or some damaged components in the device. Anyway, I got this problem too and I have an original ROM, so I'll just try the formatting method.

I'm having a same issue here but noticed it involved more than this and it happened at a certain app install. Hope someone here will recognize something in this post and help me not have to re-install my entire stock ruu, starting over.
The stock music player quit finding the mp3's on ext_sd card. First noticed this, but the stock gallery will not find photos as well.
I used Twrp to do a factory reset and was installing files again (most of my favorite apk's are stored on ext_sd card) and had to start with ES File Manager. When I went to setup ES File Manager up it will also not log into my network! So, after a factory reset these three things are happening and all of this started after loading Sterickson's permission fixer. The one on the app store that has the badly drawn cd image as app icon. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go back to the stock rom install to fix what his permission fixer trashed?

Hello everyone, new to these forums, but have been reading here for a few years now
I have a couple of questions regarding JB 4.1.1 and Galaxy S3 i-9300
First of all, I can't seem to make my external SD card work with anything else but Recovery/Root Explorer.
Gallery doesn't show it, VLC doesn't show it, and I can't find any settings that will allow me to save pictures taken by the cam onto extSD, nor videos.I have tried both AOSP and PA 4.1.1, same issue.
Second, when I flashed AOSP/PA 4.1.1, whenever I go into Gallery, and choose Settings, I just get a blank screen, no options, no nothing.
Am I just stupid, or have I formatted the card wrong?
best regards, Tim :laugh:
Is is FAT32 ?
Are there any partitions (other than the primary) in the SD card? (or, have you repartitioned the sd card) ?
Thanks for the reply. I booted into CWM and formatted the card from there. It still doesn't show up. Will try to reflash JB again.

I am in the same situation. It started when clockworkmod couldn't read some of the files in the download folders (mods i intended to apply) which were visible in es file explorer. After a few tries, sdcard (a trascend 64gb uhs-1 which i indeed recommended a few hours ago in another thread!!!) looks dead both in android AND pc. Had to format to access it. Currently letting diskdigger do his job, then for more invasive action (still yet to figure).

The issue you are facing is what made me flash from AOKP to PA/AOSP in hope of improvement.
While I was running AOKP, I connected my Galaxy to my PC via USB, and in the external SD card, I found multiple copies of the same folder.
For example, I made a folder called PICS inside my SD card when I got it a couple of weeks back and everything was running smoothly. Then just a couple of days ago, I wanted to copy some of my pics, and now I had 5 folders called PICS on my SD, and none of them contained actual pictures, the files had no extensions whatsoever, just blank fileicons.
I'm considering moving back to a stock Sammy ROM, these external SD card issues are getting really frustrating.

i've got the same problem..i read somewhere it was to do with CWM recovery being used? i havent had time to investigate and cant mess with my phone as i'm going away tomorrow....i hope someone points out the solution as this has plagued me since day 1 with jelly bean..
So, formatting the card on pc as NTFS/standard allocation/FULL format (took about one hour and a half) worked for me. Cwm reads it and i made a couple of format to be sure. Weird thing is in settings/memory the ext-sdcard capacity/free space is correct, but there is no visual bar (it is there for internal sd). I'm pretty sure at this point the problem was probably caused by some action i took with mobileodin using files from the sdcard.
Hi there, I have been using Galaxy s2 for 2 years now, and so far i have no problem, but recently a problem comes. It is involving my external SD (this may have been posted, so I apologize should this already been posted).
I was using Biftor ROM 8.2 (4.1.2) until then I upgrade to Biftor Rom 9.0, and when I wanted to access the External SD via My Files, it hang, and the program force-quit by itself, but in Gallery, I can open the files from my External SD such as music, video, pictures, etc2. I also tried unmounting and remounting, but..same result..I cannot browse it through My Files. I have tried using other File Explorer, like ES File Explorer, but it got same result as My Files. I also tried different ROM, like NeatROM, but I got same result also...So i have to reflash official 4.0.3 (is the one I have atm). I tried the 4.0.3, but this time, it can access my external SD via My Files...any solution to solve the external SD issue, since I want to upgrade to 4.1.2 rooted ROM? Thank you

Does ur PC recognises the ext-sdcard, if so then connect phone to PC under USB mass storage mode and run 'Checkdisk' to see for any errors on the same.
If u find any then, BKp the data on it and do a format (fat32) and restore the data and then see if the File managers on the phone can read it
Yes, it does recognize in PC and also in USB storage. I did error checking but no error found. so i presume i have to BKed and then format it?
hi,
I have been unlocked and what not for a long time.
My latest ROM installed through TWRP was CM10.2. It really worked well... until it didn't anymore. I would reboot and it would get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" white logo.
I wiped, did fresh clean install of same ROM and thought, surely that'd do it. Nope. Still same problem.
Did something get corrupted?
I used TWRP to restore the stock ROM (months ago as soon as I rooted and unlcocked, I backed it up). Phone works great, no problems, but I really liked the AOS/KP roms.
The thing is when I connect phone to PC, I can't even access the internal or external SD to copy an updated version of (any) rom. All that shows up is a folder that's marked as a CD (as if I inserted a CD) with samsung driver installer .exe and a couple of other files. I went ahead and ran the installer, still no go for SD card.
I also installed the toolkit found here on xda. Nothing. Still can't access the internal storage or SD card
What can I do?
Thank you!
edit: I am able to access the SD card from TWRP 2.6.1.0

WHen you plug your phone in, is it set to MTP or PTP. You should have it set to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Also take your sdcard out and make sure it can be read by a pc period.

Yes, MTP is what I was trying. the sd card works fine. I restored an old rooted stock rom from the first day I unlocked and rooted months ago.
Then after booting into stock rom, the PC "sees" my phone's SD.
I am no expert, but it seems something in the boot got currupted or messed up. No 3rd party roms go passed the white note 2 logo anymore.
I wiped and tried
- the CM 10.2 build that had been working awesome
- a new CM 10.2 build
- PAC MAN rom.
They install fine, first boot into the fresh TWRP-installed rom works fine. But when I reboot, they get stuck. The stock ROM restores fine and I can reboot no problem.
What can I do?
I'll try to change the topic name.
edit: well, I can't edit the topic name. If a mod can, please change to: "cannot boot into custom ROMs."
Did you fully wipe your SD from going to 4.1 -> 4.2/.3? That could cause an issue, maybe. I had a lot of issues changing from 4.1 to 4.2+. Some of the roms, like Carbon, would not let me connect to my computer. I finally settled on PACMAN and it works great. I would just try backing up internal storage, fully wiping everything on the internal memory, and installing one of the roms.
I always wipe internal storage
