This seems to much of a coincidence to not be linked.
I am running my my first build (MIUI) using clockwork recovery and now I cant copy files to the SD card. When in the build I mount the SD card, copy the files accross from PC (a variety of mp3 files and swype). It copies accross fine and shows on my SD card (when looking at from the pc) but when I'm in the device they are not shown (via file explorer) and music player doesnt detect them.
Swype shows as 0MB and says parsing error.
Never had this with then old roms or NAND build.
Is this something to do with partitioning? I have an 8GB card and chose 250mb partition.
Thanks.

I am going to swap my 2gb sd for a 16gb and want to know how to transfer the files correctly. It seems that the files I can see on my PC when mounted via usb, are only a fraction of the files I see via Root Explorer on the phone.
Whats the correct way prepare the new card, and transfer the files?
Thanks
mount the phone. Open the appropriate drive (2 should show). One us the internal for the os. The other is the 2 gig with avatar (sdcard/sd).
Copy to your desktop.
Get the new card with adapter mounted to pc now. Right click and format fat.
power off the phone after properly unmounting.
Swap cards in phone. Mount it again to pc. Move the avatar folder to new sd.
unmount. I would reboot. Make sure avatar works. if it didn't, you did not listen.
Thanks for the info
The way I did it is:
-put the new card in the phone
-format it using the phone (settings, SD Card and phone storage, format SD card)
-put the old sd card with adapter into PC
-mount the phone
-transfer files from old to new
So the only files that need to be transferred are the ones that show up when mounted/viewed on the PC? Are the files that I see on the card via Root Explorer when it is in the phone not needed? Are they just links or something?
Avatar is on the sd card (sdcard/sd)
Sdcard is the internal memory. Do NOT mess with that!
ah, so the sd card is actually the sd directory inside of sdcard...got it, thanks
Hi folks,
I am running CM7.1 off a 4gig sd card on an otherwise stock NC. Most things are working as intended. I can install apps from the market and they install and run fine.
The problem comes up when I try and sideload anything to the sd card. If I connect the NC to a pc with the usb cable and enable usb storage mode and try to copy a file to the sd card I get the error "Cannot copy [filename]: The parameter is incorrect." but I can write the file to internal memory without an issue.
If I try and write a file to the sd card using the 'File Expert' app by copying form a network share to sd it appears to copy the file and the file shows in the directory but it is corrupt. File Expert cannot generate an MD5 sum to compare with the original and the file can not be loaded into an app (ebook reader for ebubs, etc.) it just returns an error that the file is invalid. I can copy files to the internal memory using the same method and everything works fine.
Downloads from a browser also abort and nothing is written to the sd card but apps downloaded from the market install fine.
Could this be a permission issue? A problem with the sd cards partition? Is there something else I should be looking at to help diagnose this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried to install the operating system on external sd card by putting on it the backup of the internal memory, patched boot partition with this pase.zip and activate adb with uRamdisk file in uRamdisk_usb_adb_init_1.1_1.1.2.zip , decompressed in the same partition.
This seems to work but I can not install books and I do not see the sd when I connect the player to my computer (linux).
Do you have any idea or know a version already prepared and simply to copy to sd?
hello everyone, i am using samsung sm-g900h with marshmallow in it and i have rooted my phone with twrp recovery. The phone is working very fine but i dont know from last 2 weeks i am not able to copy , paste , rename , move or delete any file from my external memory card using Es file explorer . i googled about that and did cmd things and disk management things too to format sd card using laptop but it always show RAW as format not NTFS or FAT32. I then deleted ( unallocated) the SD card and inserted it back on phone and formatted it from there and its showing everything fine... but while copying files from laptop it stops at random file for so many minutes and when i open the folder i see some coding languages files and folders in it like some virus or so...
Is there any solution of it or i have to buy new sdcard ?
Try putting the card into a USB reader in your PC, and use a program called "MiniTool Partition Wizard Free", delete all the partitions on the MicroSD card, create a new Primary partition, then format to FAT32, see if that fixes it for your phone
I am new to miui rom, always using stock or custom android roms.
I am using it for now as cant see a rom I like the look of but having trouble with the way it uses the storage.
I have an SD card but it appears to see the internal and SD as one whole storage location - is that true?
I download files and the inbuilt file navigator is a pain, but the storage location is internal, but i cant copy to this or from this on my PC. i have to use ES file explorer to copy the files from internal to a location on SD (as it shows as separate storage in this app) and then i can copy from // to the SD card..
how do i amend this? i just want to download and copy to PC if needed with ease.. (when i tried making the download location on the sd card the files never actually saved, after the download completed i checked the location but the file was not there).
