Reset to default 2you can also get your directory by this code. code reference from phonegap documentation.
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
// device APIs are available
//
function onDeviceReady() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, onFileSystemSuccess, fail);
}
function onFileSystemSuccess(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getDirectory("App_files", {create: false, exclusive: false}, onGetDirectoryWin, onGetDirectoryFail);
}
function fail(evt) {
console.log(evt.target.error.code);
}
var onGetDirectoryWin = function(parent) {
}
var onGetDirectoryFail = function() {
console.log("error getting dir")
}
Please try this code..
There is window.appRootDir.fullPath through you get full path but before that you must use dirReady();

Finally i found we can't get the external SD Card Path,
Environment.getExternalStorageState();
Its returns only Internal SD Card path
Reference: http://developer.android./reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageDirectory()
