[Q] How to copy videos, mp3 etc. from pc to external sdcard? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this 32gb external sdcard and i want to copy videos, mp3's and other files on it. i tried connecting my device to my pc and start to copy files to my phone's external sd (sdcard1), error displays "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". i also tried root explorer but error says "Copy failed".
I can transfer files to my device internal memory (sdcard) without problems but i don't want to put the files there because the storage might get full. I also tried sdcard fix from playstore but it won't do it.
btw, I have a rooted phone with dual recovery, fw 23.0.1.A.167. i hope someone can help me on this...

Try to format the sdcard in your phone, maybe it solve the problem

Type this commands in adb:
adb push example.mp3 /data/media/0/
And open file manager on your phone/tablet, move example.mp3 from sdcard to ext. sd

Me too faced the same problem a few days ago when i updated my phone to the same firmware, i tried everything but nothing worked, then after trying all the things which i found, i tried changing the card and it worked! Then i put my card in other phone, it didn't work there too!
Result: my card somehow became read-only! I could read the files which were already on it but i was not able to write or delete something. Got it replaced under warranty, everything is fine now.
Wish you luck with your card!

Tried everything. tried rebooting and also tried formatting the internal sd card and the error still pops up after awhile.so please help me fix this issue asap.thanks

please help =(
I assume you are trying to copy to the internal sd. The fix is the following:
1. Copy everything from your internal sd to a computer.
2. On your vibrant. Settings->sd card and phone storage->phone storage (which is internal sd) FORMAT
3. copy everything back
Done
If you are trying to copy files larger than 1-2gb there is no fix. It just doesn't work with this rom...

My problem with most of the ROMs, empty "ext_sd" folder.

Hi,
I'm still trying to find a ROM that I can use for my daily usage. My main problem is that almost all the ROMs that I flash fail to detect my ext_sd folder, a.k.a. my external SD card.
When I flash an ICS ROM and go to the file explorer to install titanium backup and restore my apps, it says that this folder is empty.
Sometimes when I restart several times, it finds my SD card, sometimes I have to flash other ROMs to have it but it's OK in some ROMs like CM10 but eventually it losts this folder as well.
Since I'm S-ON, I can't get back to GB ROMs.
SD card may be problamatic but it's OK when I mount it via attaching cable to phone or attaching it directly to my PC with a SD card cartridge.
What could be the problem? How I can check that SD card is OK?
Thanks.
Let me add this that if I open back of my phone and remove and re insert the SD card, it gets detected but it's cumbersome.
Use a root explorer to go up to root and instead of ext sd go into sd card 2 folder. Should be there

S2 not showing internal storage

hello, plz tell me how to fix this. my s2 not accessing internal storage both from file manager and from pc. but it shows in recovery. currently am on carbon 4.3. i tried many file manager but every one shows only external sd card and system ,and internal folder is empty. plz tell me how to fix this. otherwise i should flash it to stock rom.
did complete wipe and cleared cache ,dalvik cache tried other custom rom, Nothing worked
thanks
It does seem like a problem with the ROM to me, but you could try to access it with linux instead of Windows/OSX just to see if that makes a difference. If it were me, since you have already flashed a ROM, try another custom ROM, maybe CM stable to keep it predictable. See if that fixes the problem. Or just re-download your current ROM and re-flash, you never know.

I tried different ROMs but same problem there. In file manager the internal SD card is empty and in recovery there it is.
I even can't open gallery or camera and can't download from browser. It gives error of " no internal SD card".

And also can't use Bluetooth because while receiving files it save it to internal SD card , and give error while receiving files. When there are no internal SD card accessible how it can save it.
And also I used GalaxSim unlock previously to unlock my phone, now it is giving error of sim lock, because the GalaxSim unlock files are save into Internal Memory and it can't be accessible so it giving sim lock error.

So in recovery you can see the internal storage but nowhere else? And you tried CM stable?

[Q] [Cyanogenmod 11]Copy files from pc to phone and keep original date modified

Hi,
I need to copy large amount of files from my PC to the phone and preserve the time modified for the files.
I've tried all the solution I could find on xda forums such as:
using adb push
using adbsync
using localsync app
using quick pic app after copy and activate "fix date" function (didn't do anything)
Every time the result is the same, the modified date is set to the time of transfer,
I'm really out of ideas at this point.
help?
Copy to ext sd card via card reader ???

I dont have sd card :\
And forgot to mention i also tried installing several ftp servers on device and transfer the files with preserve timestamp command. But apparently ftp servers for android does not support MFMT.
Do you really need the date? And I think it is modified because they just appeared on the SD Card. it's like saving a doc file for the first time. Try rebooting into recovery and mount USB Storage. I've seen that so it moves everything how it should be. For example, I can't move by just connecting the phone to PC any kind of zipped ROMs. Try this and then come to report

So i just used adb push, and then this happened (looks good..):
* please look at attached photo (I'm new user and therefor cant post links :|)
but then i reboot device and files are just not there!
tried search with root user and its just gone..
For me it works. Used it in the morning. You can try latest Philz or TWRP.

Need to FORMAT SD card

I already have apps on my SD card that I had moved over in the past but any other apps I move now become corrupted and useless. I'm hoping that formating the card will fix this issue. Can I just copy all contents from the card over to my pc then copy them back on after the format? Should everything work correctly? I have 6gigs of spotify music and other big data files. Hope someone answers Thanks!

I'm on lollipop with klte root. Man I messed up. I transfered all the contents from my sd over to my pc to format it and when I switched everything back over the folders came up as all empty. And I can't seem to recreate a folder called .android_secure. My storage info shows that about 9gigs of space are being used on the sd but the folders show nothing. 6gigs were of pure spotify offline music. This is not a good day. Tons of pics were there too.

I have done the same. In MM was concerned that my SD data would be gone. Made the transfer to the PC of everything. After seeing what MM did to my SD, I formatted the SD again and transferred from the PC to the SD and all was fine. If you want that info back and it is still on the PC, then just do the same. In my case after the format, all was as before.
I lost everything on the card. Dammit. I want to just do a complete hard reset of my phone. If I do a backup with kies will I be able to add all my apps and settings back on my phone afterwards with a recovery of the backup?

I recommend using Kies and Another Backup Solution as I've had problems with Kies backups in the past, causing me to lose saved texts, contacts, memos, settings, etc.
I personally recommend using Helium backup from ClockworkMod, a quick search through google play should get it for ya.
Happy resetting! :3
EDIT: Just realized this thread is old... you've probably already reset the phone. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the date stamp..
It's almost scary that you would have responded to this thread right now. I am going through the exact same mess again. I tried applying a fix to make the external card detectable by other apps which were not detecting it. Well after doing that none of my apps or data on the card show up or work. The files are there if I explore root folder though. How do I regain the pathway to the card? Through my USB on pc it does not show the external but it does if I use sd card reader with the sd card by itself. Last time I copied everything from the card to my pc then formatted. It all became a senseless mess when I tried returning everything to the card. Lost everything. I tried backing up with kies before but it did not give option to backup sd card. Please help is an understatement. I just checked the sd card for errors using Windows tools but no errors popped up.

The reason for this occurrence (as well as how to fix it) depend on how the fix was applied.
Please describe the nature of the fix as specifically as you can. Things like where you found it, what it does, how you installed it, as well as if this is the same SD card, will help the most.
Edit: if you could also include the file system that's on the card that would be great too.
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what the file system on the card would be but I've attached a screenshot of what I did. The name of the app is there.

Well I found the app in question in the play store, and was unable to track down exactly what it does, so we can't get anything out of that.
To get the file system that's on the card all you have to do is put it in a Windows PC and look at the drive properties.
At this point the best thing to do would be to back up everything on the card to a computer.
