Hi,
I'm trying to rename some files on my SD Card using ES File Explorer on my M9+. When the new window pop-up to give write permission access to SD Card, it was not shown even I selected the option to Show SD card. Instead, It only detects my Internal Storage.
This is the same process I'm doing in my M8 previously and working fine as expected.
Please help. My device is not rooted.

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.
Hi sorry but i have a question, why is my external sd card is recognised as internal storage(first pic) also and i do not have any option to unmount it.(second pic)
Also i have my files on my external sd card in the file 'sdcard' on my phone however i also have a file called sd_ext(empty) which i presume is the external sd card. Therefore, is it normal to have it like that? and how to i know which is my internal and external respectively. Thanks for the help in advance.
i can view all the files and they are recognised by my phone but i just want to know if there is a fix for this.

this must be a systems bug. It´s the same to me and all others. You can ignore that.
also and i do not have any option to unmount it.(second pic)
you can unmount your sd card in the phone settings (it must be settings/storage/SD Card unmount)
Also i have my files on my external sd card in the file 'sdcard' on my phone however i also have a file called sd_ext(empty) which i presume is the external sd card. Therefore, is it normal to have it like that?
Try to use another root file explorer (for ex.: https ://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=de )

First of all: you don´t have to use another phone for making screenshots. Just press Power for 2 Sec. and choose Screenshot. (You have to activate this first in the phone settings.)
hi thanks for replying but i already have es file explorer but i am still confused as i don't know which is my internal or external i a file under mnt call sdcard and it stores everything(it contains files on my sdcard but i am not sure wether all of them belong to the external adcard) while the sd-ext is empty but under storage it says that 1.53 of 1.8gb is occupied.
Also for the part to mount or unmount the sdcard i donot have the option as shown in the second pic.i went the the correct directory as you said
I have an external micro SD card in my TPT.
32 GB with adapter to normal SD.
The problem is, the SD card is accessible and working but is mostly mounted as read only.
Root Explorer cannot make it read/write, its read only. ES file explorer cannot delete files either.
Sometimes this is solved by a reboot, but seldom.
I already formatted the SD card but the problem was still there.
I tested the SD card and it was in good shape, no errors.
When I want to copy something I have to take it out of the TPT, works normal on the PC.
How do I solve this problem?
I noticed I don't have a fstab file but a vold.fstab.
Furthermore, I rooted my device and renamed the bloatware apk file from Lenovo.
I was having a weird bug. I could create folders on the internal SD card.
I was reinstalling an emulator (Drastic) when it started throwing a strange error about not being able to create a saves folder. After some investigation I found out I could not create *any* folder at all in the internal SD. More specifically, I cannot create a folder on the root of the internal SD; the external SD and all the other folders of the internal SD work as normal. In other words, I can not create a folder on /storage/sdcard0
Now, however, my internal SD cards has simply vanished! I am unable to find it on Settings > Storage or on my card. After rebooting back and forth it is back up, however it doesn't appear on my PC (neither in Linux nor in Windows) when I connect using mass storage, nor can I still create folders. The external SD appears on Windows Explorer as normal (and I can run chkdsk on it).
Running chkdsk on the internal SD yields the following error message: "Cannot open volume for direct access." even though it is listed on the drive list.
I think I have provided all the info I can. I would be grateful for any help.
PS: Nobody on my device forum seems to have this issue, so it's not a ROM or device problem.
You tried reflashing with other ROM mate?

The problem was not the ROM. Yesterday I ran fsck on it and it fixed all issues.

Are you sure that the microsd card is ok with no damage ? I kindly advise that you can test the condition of the microsd card directly on other PCs or make use of this microsd card after inserted into a gadget like the following : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GLL40SA . If it works, you may try to format the card and process the same operation like creating folders. Remember to back up the important data anyway.
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
