Hey,
I have now rooted my phone and installed folder mount only problem is I think I'm doing something wrong!
As I have watched videos but I can't seem to find the apps to move! Also when I have moved a few programs my internal storage has actually increased!
Can anyone advise who is using this?
Thanks
Paul

Hi guys...a friend of mine was trying to transfer photos and videos to his external sd card (3-4gb of data) and somehow the data didn't get to where he intended and now there's no trace of any of it. Looks like his system got corrupt too in the process cause he has lots of files in the lost.dir folder.
My query is that if anyone knows of any way to retrieve these photos. I assume that at this stage they were probably deleted. Maybe there's some kind of retrieval software that can be used?
Thanks in advance.

I would remove the card and see what can be seen on it from a PC. I would also change the suffix of one of the files in LOST to .JPG since I think they may be the lost pictures, as android drops files in lost when it doesn't know what else to do with them.
Last recourse is to try a file recovery app on the Sd card.

Google on pc restore deleted files. Can't remember what one I used but once installed on computer connect via usb and perform a scan on sd only or sd card too if you have one. Whichever one had files deleted.
This works 100% especially if you have not tried to add anything else to the system.

Exact same thing happened to me. I used GetData Recover My Files set in disk mode and got back about 95% of them. The other 5% were corrupt.

piriform.com has freeware to recover lost files on storage media. I used it some time ago after messing with a buggy app that left my ext-sd files in oblivion.
Or it could be my urge to test "promising" apk.
Anyhow, piriform.com saved my day.

Thanks guys for all the advice. I used the link given by xchasa above and recovered lots of photos and videos .

During the transfer of data due to interface problem both the source and destination are corrupted so now you need an efficient data recovery software for the recovery of your data and files.
You can still recover all your data and files from that memory card with the help of Kernel for FAT and NTFS memory card recovery software which will do recover your data in a better way. It has a user friendly interface through which you can get preview your deleted data and files from that card and can save all at once or some selective files to your location.

Hi all, quick q regarding browsing ex SD folder - I am able to browse folders and see files and copy files to and from the extsd with root explorer, however, when run mx player it doesn't show me any files from extsd.
Have to copy movies to the internal storage for them to show up.
Anyone else have this? Know how to fix? Thanks

MX shows videos on the external sd for me just fine. Did you apply the permissions fix to allow apps to write to the external SD? Not sure if it's necessary but it's the only tweak I have that might affect it.
I used the platform.XML method to allow r/w on exsd. I don't have cwm installed on my tab yet but may try the permission zip and see if that works.

Yeah, editing platform.xml is what I meant so I guess that's not your problem. I didn't bother to swap out stock recovery; you don't need cwm to run videos off the external sd (though checking permissions certainly can't hurt).
In MX preferences you can select folders that it will display video from. I'm pretty sure the default is /mnt (so should include /sdcard as well as all subdirectories, including externalsd), but it's possible that it's been changed. I think it also relies on the built-in media scanner--do your videos show up in Gallery app?

Could some one help me out here? I tried connecting my phone to PC. I was able to access storage, however, I couldn't access " data/media/clockwork" from there since I only seem to have access to my phones sdcard folder.
Next I used root browser to try and move the files to my SD card. Didn't work. It copy and pasted but the file either didn't get copied or its size was 0 bytes. Tried deleting one backup. It says is been successfully deleted but it stays there and no space frees up on my phone. I'm clueless as to what I should be doing next. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Move or copy the clockworkmod file straight to the sdcard. System and Data files are not viewable on the pc. Just copied a nandroid to the sdcard with Root Explorer, no problem and it shows up when connected to the pc.

You can also delete backups when in CWM itself, in case you didn't know
Thanks for help guys. It was a simple solution, but often the simple things are overlooked. There must have been something wrong with my superuser permission. Restart fixed it.

First of all, I just created a thread about this but apparently it never posted so if there are multiple threads by me I apologize.
Anyway, I am trying to create a folder in /sdCard that will link to /storage/extSdCard for apps that start in internal sd card but won't let me go up one folder so that I can navigate to external sd card. I did accomplish this on my s2 using directory bind but it doesn't seem to work on my note 3. I'm sorry if this is confusing. I will try to elaborate if needed.

Directory bind is old and no longer supported.
Check out the app "folder mount" in the play store. Worked a charm on my s4 so I'm sure it will be fine on the Note 3 as well.

Has anyone got folder mount to work with the Note 3 yet? I'm running stock MJ7 rooted with Chanfire easy root method, double and triple checked everything. Managed to get the app to move the original data from internal SD to my 64GB Sandisk Class 10 external SD but the link pin will not turn green.
It's driving me mad and I'm on the verge of selling the Note 3 and going back to my S2 (along with the very easy vold.fstab SD card swap mod)!!
Use solid explorer if you want to go up a folder to navigate to external sd. Also note 3 does app2sd so why the need for all this?

App2sd moves the installed app files, not the SD data that many games download in order to play. Some are in excess of 1-2GB and if you have a few installed then your internal SD space soon runs out
Same issue
I created a thread idential to this earlier n however ot realising this one already existed my bad.
Ive had the exact same problem, the closest ive came is with File mount i was able to get Modern combat 4 to work succesfully, but nothing else and i tryed most of the top end games with massive data files.
No ideas why mc4 worked, and real racing 3 worked. All of the other games show up as binding correctly and when i run a check the directorys show as being mounted in the same way as MC4 and real racing 3 however when i run the apk the games cant find the data files and start re downloading.
Hopefully someone works away round this or creates a new programme cause its so restrictive, install the top 10 android games and all your internal memorys completely used up
i used to use apps2sd before directory bind was available but the reality is that its pretty useless now for most modern games,
Can anyone please help me ?, i have copied my music files onto my 64gb mem card i do not know how many times but they keep being deleted ???, this happened on the S5 900F with original software and i have rooted my phone and running Omega 1.7 and it still is deleting my music files. everything else is great pics movies are no problem. i have had all of the S series without any problems ???.
Are they getting deleted of the memory card as in when you open your file explorer and navigate to extsd they are not there or just from your misic player?
If they are disappearing from your music player make sure you dont have a .nomedia file in there. Songs wont come up in the stock media player if that file is in there.
Hope this helps.

no there just dispersing i put the music files in there and when i come to try and play them there gone like they have never been there ??? its weird big time ???
Wow probably try copying all your files off the sd card to your pc and doing a format via the phone. Then copy the files back and see if that helps.
Possibly a bad format or bad card.
