So i flashed CM7 and it worked alright, but i cant get any of my data/apps back! When i go into the file manager built into the rom it just shows my Sdcard as empty and my sdcardext or whatever as empty also, when its unplugged and in charge only aswell. When i plug it up to my computer and put in usb transfer mode it reads all my files that i have before unlocking, cwm, rooting, and flashing CM7. Any help here?! And the rom doesnt come with the marketplace so i cant try a different file manager. Im really lost here and i dont have any of my data atm.. I have it all backed up on my pc, but no means to make my phone read its memory. Any help would be HUGELY useful right now. While in CWM before flashing i factory reset phone, didnt include sd card(as Qbking77 said in video i watched, huge thanks to him btw love his work) And then wiped cache and dalvic cache. Am i missing something here or whats going on?
EDIT: Also, when plugged into my computer it shows 2 devices, a G: and F:. there used to only be F: as the main "Moto" one, i have no sd card installed into the phone. Now it is G: that is that folder and F: is just empty and cannot be opened by windows and comes when i plug my photon in, at same time as the loaded drive G:. I just used a Nandroid backup to go back to stock rom and reflashed CM7 and still have the same issue..
With the file manager, check /mnt/emmc when running Cm7. That is where the internal sdcard is mounted.
Also. Make sure you flash GAPPS so you'll have market.

You can flip them by selecting settings, cyanogenmod settings, application, use internal storage.

Thanks a ton!! That was exactly it, it mounted to that weird location! and i was able to change that, thank you so much!
Is anyone else having the calendar force close in CM7? This is something I use regularly and would like to have fixed if possible. Any semi easy DIY fixes? Other than that i am absolutely loving CM7!

My Vibrant's internal sdcard was reporting corruption, so I put a fresh ROM (Macnut 12) on the external SD, rebooted into Clockwork, and formatted the SDcard, system & data partitions. Then went to install the ROM, but it turned out it wouldn't recognize the ext-sd card either! I get this error when i try to mount:
Code:
E:INFO is WRONGError mounting SDEXT:!
I've tried a different ext-sd, and even tried formatting that one on the computer (MBR partition scheme, FAT partition). Nothing is recognized by the phone.
Also when I try "mount USB storage" nothing shows up on my desktop either.
SO: I have an almost empty phone, and no way of putting any ROM whatsoever on there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
note: i have a Mac, so AFAIK ODIN doesn't work for me.
I'm in "Clockwork 2.5.1.0 lagfix edition", and was previously rocking Eugene's Macnut R12 with the JFS+RFS lagfix.
thanks!

I also use a mac. You need to be careful how you delete and format your sd cards. I just deleted some stuff off my sd card by dragging it into the trash and it didnt free up any space on the sd card. I have also seen problems with formatting them with the mac also. Also ODIN is a great way to put things back to stock. you will need to use bootcamp to install windows on the partition. If I weere you I would still ODIN back to stock and reflash to make sure you dont have errors in the future
Format sd card through clockworkmod recovery. Itll wipe everything, but it should bring it back to being usable. Also heimdall works with mac right? I havent used heimdall but read its an open source rom flasher replacement for odin.

I was going to suggest Heimdall as well. You should be able to flash back to a stock firmware, then sort things out from there. If you want to do that and then report back here, we could help from there.
Information about Heimdall is available in this thread along with a link to download the program.
Good luck.
I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Totally of the topic BUT I'm Selling a fully rooted Droid Eris running CM7 port ROM for $90...interested PM me.
This is not an invitation to flaming, as I am under the impression that several people have tha same problem, so I will try to gather solution/suggestions here. I have the problem when trying out the new 4.0.4. ROMs, every single one of them are missing the capability to access the external SD card - rather unfortunate since I use it to store music, to back up with Titanium Backup and back up SMS, among other things. And yes, I have wiped, I have run the kernel cleaning script and wiped again, both a system wipe and cleaned the dalvik cache. Still no luck. Now I am aware that there are tools to mount the SD card, but after trying Multi Mount SD-Card Lite, Mount /system (rw / ro) and Drive Mount from Play Store, I still come up empty, literally. I have had 5 Android phones and all have been equipped with various ROMs, so I usually know what I am doing. I even pulled out tha SD card and wiped it on the computer and then formatted it/partitioned it IN the phone. It is a big shame, since ROMs like AdyScorpius, Omega's v3 and especially DraginICS and the F1 ROM are tempting and stunning looking. Any help? Please??

Firstly this is in the wrong thread.
Secondly, have you tried going up to the root directory, and making sure it's not under \emmc
I have, and it sometimes is, but isn't this an issue? I mean, as a frequent flasher I am used to ROMs where everything works, so I would say that is in the making of the ROM, which I doubt since the source is a Google project. But even with Directory Bind, I can't link it. It is over my head, I don.t understand why some people have the problem, and most not. And sorry for posting in the wrong forum, can somone move this or close it?

I think most people are used to the SD card being in a different directory now so they don't mention it. For some roms, there is a flashable zip which mounts it back as sdcard/external_sd (or whatever it was called)
Sent from my GT-I9100
I'm having the same issue. When I restore back to Sense 3.6, my SD is back. Not sure of the issue.
Will not mount. I've went to recovery/Mounts/ and mounted there to no avail.
Also popped out the SD and put it back in, no avail.
When I check my 'Music' it says your content is unavailable because your phone is being used as USB storage. Disconnect USB. -- it's not connected to any USB, oddly.
EDIT: my issue was GB-ICS related and flashed this - http://www.htctweaker.com/RezROM/RezROM_oldfirm_patch.zip for ICS and it fixed my mounting issues.
I'm trying to get files (my photos mostly) off the internal storage of my Vibrant. I don't care about getting the Vibrant working again, just getting my files off it. I can get into recovery mode, but mounting usb storage *does not work*, even tried unplugging and replugging the phone but no dice. I can install zips from the sd card (though it takes 5x longer than normal) but any ROM I install, stock, cyanogen, slim, etc. won't actually finish booting.
Because USB mounting doesn't work, I'd like to use CWM to copy all the files on the internal storage to the sd card. Then I can put the sd in another computer and get the files off. In CWM I can do a backup to sd, but that doesn't backup photos, just the rom. Is there a way to generally copy files from internal to the sd using CWM?
Also, the entire time I'm in recovery mode my PC makes the sound for a usb device being connected and then disconnected, assume that has something to do with the Vibrant being generally busted.
In summary:
Trying to recover files from vibrant phone storage
Can't boot any regular ROM
Can get into CWM recovery
USB mount in CWM recovery *does not work*
Can install zip from sd card
Can backup to sd card
Have a spare working vibrant for charging battery
Any ideas?
Okay I'll see if I can help any. First of all, can you successfully use Odin to return to stock firmware? Have you even attempted using Odin?
Can try using recuva or there is another one too but the XDA search is missing right now. Moped_Ryder usually recommends that one that I can't remember right now, but once the search button is back, I'll let you know what it is. Works like a charm. Droid recover or Droid Files, ahh I can't think of it but there is a solution on here somewhere.
Try a program called Android Commander.
Ive transferred files in CWM with it all the time.
Agreed with android commander. It has always worked for me. There are other solutions too with these new kernels these days. You can download Devil kernel or subzero via PC(They both include new file manager in recovery).Put it on your external card, flash, reboot back into recovery. Mount your internal and external cards from mounts and storage menu. Go to file manager and copy/paste away.
Okay, this is quite a long story, so I apologise in advance.
I decided to update my Galaxy S2 today to a newer ROM (SuperNexus 2) with the latest version of Android. I was coming from a CM9 build. I went through the usual process of backing up data and performing a full NANDROID backup via CWM Recovery, booted the phone again and transferred the backups to my PC via USB. These files transferred fine.
I then downloaded the zip files for the new ROM and proceeded to copy them to the internal storage of my phone. The copy dialog in Windows said that it was "discovering items" and stayed like this until I turned off USB transfer mode on the phone and removed it (ie. the files failed to copy) This happened a number of times and I didn't get anywhere. I have plenty of space free on the SD card, but just to make sure I started the phone in CWM again and formatted the SD card, and since I was going to do it anyway, the data and cache partitions too. When I booted the phone again, the files still wouldn't copy. I managed to copy a text file to the phone which was about 32kb but anything larger just seemed to fail.
I then went back into CWM and decided to partition the SD card, as I thought that it may have been corrupted somehow and needed to rebuild the filesystem. This however, caused even more problems as trying to format the SD card (In CWM) now just reported "Error, can not mount E:/sdcard".
Feeling fairly frustrated, I decided to download the Stock ICS ROM for the Galaxy S2 and install it via Odin, thinking that the problem was probably with CWM. The install went fine, but upon reboot the phone just stayed on the boot animation, no matter how long I left it. To make sure the install went smoothly I decided to try and reinstall the Stock ROM via Odin again, but now Odin didnt seem to get past the "Initializing.." stage.
So all in all, I now have a phone which wont boot into Android, cant copy anything to internal storage, and Odin wont seem to connect to.
I am convinced this is a software issue and therefore fixable. But maybe the internal storage was not working correctly in the first place. I have installed many ROMs before and never had such issues.
Anyone know anything about this or how I could potentially fix it? Thanks so much in advance!

I9100?
Can get to DL mode?
Can get to recovery?
Get an older Odin version and flash siyah just to see if it can be flashed again.
If you can get to recovery, Nuke Script is the way to go.
It sounds to me that maybe your memory is corrupt...
Not just yet, smells like soft brick.
