[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
Hi,

does any one have any idea why I can't browse the filesystem on my SGS2? I've had the phone since June last year and AFAIK I've never been able to do it. Could an app I installed after purchase be the problem? I've used My Files and some other browser from the Market, both with no success. As soon as I open the app it freezes and I have to force termination. The default folder when opening the app is sdcard so I've tried unmounting it, then opening the app. Did not work. I tried reformatting the sdcard, remounting then opening the app. Did not work. Is this by any chance a known problem? I've been putting off making this post for so long but as of recent I'd really need access to browse the files on my SGS2 so I need to resolve this.

Please help. :(

Thanks in advance.

Noone, seriously? What the hell.

I don't think it's so hard to believe that no one has experienced this issue, since it sounds rather odd. I've certainly never heard someone speak of such a problem.

When you say sdcard, are you referring to internal memory or physical microSD card? If the latter, have you tried to remove it?

Are you on a stock ROM, if not, does flashing back to one and factory resetting fix it?

Does Settings --> Storage list everything as expected?

How many file managers have you tried? Maybe try one like Total Commander http://www.ghisler.com/android.htm

Can you access the memory when your phone is connected to a computer, and if not, how about with USB debugging enabled?

XDA developers forum .

You ask a question and if some kind soul understands it and has an answer you get a reply .This is not always straight away as the question may not have been understood or non with the answer have actually been online . Or as in this case its not a known problem .

You have the choice of factory reset and wipe all data .

Use Astro file explorer... available from the market.

https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tZXRhZ28uYXN0cm8iXQ..

As to your problem, i've never used the default file explorer, so I've never had it crash. On mine, "my files" is on the phone itself its part of the default stock rom. Have you tried just leaving it on there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
Whoa, thanks guys. I'd just nice to see atleast some feedback. I thought that this can't be that rare. Additional information:

1. I used My File, Astro File Manager, File Expert.

2. I meant SD card not internal memory.

3. I'm on stock SGS2 rom, never flashed anything. [worried about the warranty]

4. Storage lists everything as it should.

5. I can access both internal and sd card memory on the computer via USB.

How do I do a _complete_ factory reset? Is there a guide here and if so can you please point me to it?

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

BREAKTHROUGH: I tried this just now. While My Files and Astro File Manager both crash when I start them, File expert does not. That is because both My Files and Astro File Manager start within /mnt/sdcard!! File Explorer gives you a choice whether you want to browse the internal memory or sdcard _before_ it opens anything by itself. The other two just go to /mnt/sdcard from the start. If I choose SD Card in File Expert it crashes aswell. When I say it crashes I mean it stops responding and I have to double tap the home button and kill the process [cpu @ 50%].

So it seems someting is wrong with the sdcard! But I can access it from the computer easily. I've transfered movies and music and were able to play everything off it! Any idea what I could do next?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
/sdcard/ is internal memory, microSD (physical card) is /sdcard/external_sd/

Factory reset is located in Settings --> Privacy --> Factory data reset
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
More information if it helps. Please remove spaces after http in links, I'm not allowed to post them yet!

In File Expert which lets me atleast browse internal memory I found the following. It stops respoding when:

1. I try to enter /sdcard

2. I try to enter /mnt/sdcard

3. I try to enter sd card via an option given to me by File Expert http ://shrani.si/f/5/N/2GXb4080/default.jpg -> Screen shot, please remove paste and remove a space after http, I' not allowed to post links yet.

In My Files the default dir when starting the app is /sdcard. App stops respoding here but the circle in the screenshot does rotate. http ://shrani.si/f/n/KQ/3jjTetat/default-my-files.jpg -> Screen shot, please remove paste and remove a space after http, I' not allowed to post links yet.

In Astro [the program is very slow from the start] the default directory when choosing File Manager is /mnt/sdcard. Programs does not respond, the there is a little circle on top that does "rorate". http ://shrani.si/f/3p/108/1vQl0XtZ/default-astro.jpg -> Screen shot, please remove paste and remove a space after http, I' not allowed to post links yet.

This is what I can do, browse what File Expert called Internal memory. And under this option I can see folder /sdcard. Which I cannot access without the program becoming unresponsive.

1. I choose My Files here -> http ://shrani.si/f/3M/j6/3JCgef6Q/myfiles.jpg

2. I choose Internal Phone Memory here -> http ://shrani.si/f/3w/Vy/3YhHtvs6/internal-memory.jpg

3. Folder /sdcard which I cannot open here: http ://shrani.si/f/1o/Bf/396L3J0F/sdcard.jpg

Could this all be a permissions problem? Thanks for helping everybody!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
It could be. The folder /sdcard is actually a symlink to the folder /mnt/sdcard so perhaps you could see if something that accessed that by default had a problem. From memory, ES File Explorer defaults to /mnt/sdcard and has a free version.

If the symlink at /sdcard has screwed up permissions and you don't have a rooted device, which it sounds like you don't nor would lie to, then it may not be possible to fix the one file.

I tend to think that if its a file permission then it isn't the actual mount point at /mnt/sdcard since everything at that location, user settings, pictures, etc, have normal user permissions. A symlink behaves such that it has permissions for everyone but the thing that its pointing at is what ends up having the final say. A symlink with messed up permissions can easily cause a problem though.

The permissions for the symlink /sdcard is lrwxrwxrwx with root for the user and group. The first string of letters gives it full access that I was talking about.

The permissions of /mnt/sdcard is drwxrwxr-x with system for the user and sdcard_r for the group.

They look like this at the command line if you have adb and go to a shell, or have ssh on the phone, use ls -ld to look at each location. The relevant part is the string of letters after the command and the "root root" and "system sdcard_r":

# ls -ld /sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 4 10:54 /sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard
# ls -ld /mnt/sdcard
drwxrwxr-x 52 system sdcard_r 32768 Mar 4 10:56 /mnt/sdcard

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
Thank you PantsDownJedi! What's the best way to check permissions? I tried doing it in Windows by using USB storage, but the folder that opens [one for internal storage and one for sdcard] does not have any of the folders that I saw when using File Expert.

http ://shrani.si/f/3M/Bj/41qTwEsd/capture.png -> Please emove space after http

external_sd is empty!

Okries, do I need a rooted phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
This is what I get, PantsDownJedi. Does it help?

~/data $ ls -ld /sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 5 09:19 /sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard

Bump. :) I really don't want to take my phone in for a service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeptar:
Well to answer my own question... It wasn't the external SD card that was the problem but rather the internal one. Found out, that even after a factory reset and with ICS freshly installed and with the external SD card removed, the freshly installed system could not calculate how much space each category [Music, Apps, etc] took up. So I deleted everything in USB storage and now it works great.

[Kindle Fire General] drowne:
Hello guys,

after flashing ICS on my Kindle Fire I can't see my internal storage files via terminal or file explorer. When I connect the kindle via usb to the computer, I can see files, folders and stuff I put there, but I couldn't find any way to see them from the kindle. Any ideas?

If I try to mount the second internal storage unit via settings -> storage it just tries for half a second and then goes back to where it was.

my mount output is this one:

I am in the same boat as OP. I finally took the plunge in rooting and installing ICS ROM on my Kindle Fire, been waiting for a good ICS Build. Unable to access internal storage. Rebooted several times. Clicked "Mount SD Card" and it shows for about a second and goes back to showing "Mount SD Card." Any help is appreciated.

FIXED!!! Booted into recovery, unmounted, remounted sd card, rebooted and was able to see internal storage. Hope this helps.
