Please forgive me in advance if this is a known issue, I searched, but I couldn't find anything on it.

I unlocked, rooted, and flashed CWM 5.8.1.8

Then I installed Android 4.1.1 on my Atrix 4G MB860, as well as the google apps rom. Before all of this I had Gingerbread 2.3.6.

My firmware was 4.5.141. I assume it still is, but I can't find an entry to verify that in the "Settings/About Phone"

My CM10 version is 10-20120805-UNOFFICIAL-olympus

Build number cm_olympus-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03H eng. jokersax.20120805.122133 test-keys

Kernel version 2.6.32.59-MB860-CM9-gd23c5fb [email protected] #1

If there's any other info I can give to help solve the issue please let me know.

Here's the issue:

On 2.3.6, when I USB connected to my computer, I'd get two entries in My Computer. One for the internal storage, one for the SD. I could access both, move files around, delete, whatever. Also, I could access both in the Android file explorer and move files between them, etc...

On this 4.1.1, it isn't working like that. In windows I can only even see one or the other. Which one I can see depends on whether I have "Settings/Advanced/Use Internal Storage" selected or deselected. Selected I can view and access the internal storage in My Computer, not the SD. Deselected its the opposite - SD but no internal storage.

In the file browser on the phone I can't move files between the two. I can see both, and even open files on both, but when I try, say, to move a picture from the internal storage to the SD card I get a "could not move file" error.

So could someone please help me?

I would like to be able to:

1) Access and make changes to both the internal storage and the SD card simultaneously, without having to select/deselect the "use internal storage" option and reboot every single time and

2) Move files back and forth between internal storage and the SD card using the file browser on my phone.

Can this be done? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me someone.

Thank you to everyone, in advance, for any and all help.

P.S.

Are my versions of kernel, CM Rom version, and CWM version the best, latest, or greatest for my phone? If not, where can I get better or more updated/stable versions? Thanks again everyone!

I've epinter's cm10, and it works perfectly, and I've "use internal storage" disabled.
But if you go in the internal storage, and go to "mnt" than "sdcard"
now you are in the 10gb memory

I assume you mean within the Android file browser? Yes, I said that I was able to do that in my initial post. But that still doesn't allow me to do to two things that I want to - that I asked for help in achieving in my initial post.

Thank you though.

Anyone, please?
