Ok so I bought a new 8gb card today but it would not let me put anything on it. Started showing that mounting error that has been affecting the leaked froyo Roms. So after about 2 hours trying to get it to work I decided to install the Leaked Stock Froyo Rom instead. using Odin.bad move on my part because now after a new install. I'm getting the mounting error on my internal SD card now.wont let me transfer files or music over without that dam mounting error. Tried everything.problem is I can't get the mountingfix to flash now using Rom Manager. Wont work.think its because its for e2 recovery and I'm now using e3 recovery. Someone please help me out.I'm about to loose my mind. I'm stressed to the breaking point. I lost my dad on Tuesday night from cancer. I'm trying to take my mind off it by using my phone for music and videos.so please help me out.thanks a million friends!

I am trying to flash the mountingfix.zip file by putting it onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any fix for this issue please!

You can try pushing the file with adb and be sure of the directory, also it's case sensitive. And have you full formatted the sdcard to fat32?
I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.

Just tried reformatting it through system recovering and also the SD card setting.didn't do fat32. And why do almost all the froyo Rom's have that mounting error. Even the T-Mobile froyo Rom has that issue. And yea i was close to my dad.

How would I reformat the internal SD card with fat32? That's the one I'm having issues with.the external SD card started work.so now i just need the internal one to work!

Can't you fastboot flash the e2 recovery and try again? Or try another sdcard to see if the card is the problem or not. I know you're probably not that a rookie with this stuff but sometimes you can forget some simple solutions.

I need to get back to e2 recovery or make the internal SD card work. Any ideas. Shh driving me nuts

Any ideas please. I don't care about flashing or using other Roms. I just want this dam froyo rom to work correctly. Can't use the internal SD card to save music or anything else to it. So please help me out!

What kernel are you running? I had that same error when I ran eugene super kernel. Try a diff kernel. Also can you copy it.to your external then move it to your internal thru your phone. I had to do it that way on axura 2.1. Im sorry for loss bro. Ill keep you in my prayers.

Running Stock Leaked Froyo Rom
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
I think that the problem may not be your sd. I think it's a problem with Clockwork. Check out this thread and see if it helps.
HOLY SH-T
this just happened to me too haha!
I was trying to get into ClockWork, by clicking reinstall packages, it said the same error as yours because i deleted the update.zip which you probably did...
Here's what i did to fix, on ROM Manager, i clicked INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
and the update.zip appeared on my SD and it started working again.
Sorry about your dad.
Is this going to fix my internal SD card issue? How do I fix this issue without using the mountingfix.zip? I'm now using e3 recovery not e2 so wont let me install any update.zip file. Using Rom manager. Can't get clockwork recovery to work with my Stock Leaked Froyo Rom. So how do i fix this issue. Not looking to flash a new Rom just want my internal memory card to work right! Thanks a million

So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

Hi I want to know why my phone says that my external SD card is unavailable even though I inserted it. It doesn't even do a media scan of it. Also my SD card reader sometimes doesn't hold my SD card and I don't know why. Someone please help and thank you in advance. I also forgot to say that it started to do this when I flashed gb bootloaders and started using 2.3/ 2.2 roms.

External SD card should not have an issue mounting to the phone or the PC this is an old issue that has been addressed in all newer releases of ROMs. Make sure you are running the most current release of whatever ROM you are flashing. I do know that if you flash a 2.3 ROM depending on the ROM you may or may not need to flash GB Bootloaders in order for you to see the external SD card on the phone. Everything should be in the OP of whatever you choose to flash.
Good luck!
I am on simply honey 5.0 rc1 and it says unavailable for every rom I try to flash.

I'm really not too familiar with that particular setup, link maybe?
Honestly if its happening with every ROM and ODIN doesn't fix it for you I would assume hardware defect.
Good luck!
Looking for a rom I can install via Odin . Needs to be a tar file but I cant seem to find one at the moment......any pointers very welcome.
Thanks

You don't have custom recovery working to flash .zip?
Can flash stock firmware found on Intratech thread. Will lose root, but can flash CF-root kernel from Chainfire thread to get root again...... All with Odin.

...quite new to all this. I have installed a rom on the sd disk but when I go to install zip from sd card can't see it !!
If its ok could you explain your method ....as Im a bit of a thicko !!
thanks

Depending on what version of cwm 4 or 5 you have will make a slight difference but essentially these process.
Place the Rom zip on your internal sdcard not the removable external sdcard.
Navigate to flash .zip from internal sdcard in recovery. If you are changing versions if android or. 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or flashing between different Roms, maybe best to factory reset, wipe.cache, and wipe dalvik (in advanced) from within recovery. Immediately flash ROM, and then reboot, give it a few minutes. You will lose your data etc, but will help to ensure you don't get boot loops or force closes etc

...for the prompt reply, problem is I can only get rom onto the external sd card. Can't see a way of getting it onto the internal one !
Guess this looks like my evenings planned with the wife moaning at me!
sr
Boot up. Connect USB to PC and transfer the file.... If your still not sure if your putting it in the correct "sdcard", power off and remove extrenal sdcard.
You could also connect cable to PC in recovery, then "mount USB storage",. Transfer file to USB storage, "unmount", then flash from internal sdcard (look for the USB storage within).USB storage is just a sub directory of the internal sdcard.

Me again..
I have the phone working but the PC will not recognise and storage on the phone which means I can't update etc. Do you have any ideas of what is needed to fix this. At the moment the only thing that I can use is Odin. I did have another rom on the sd card but cant open it.
Sorry about this !!

Have you installed Samsung Kies? You need the diverts from that installed to PC. Just remember that you need to close kies before using Odin.
Edit :You have selected connect from the phone (maybe have notification on phone status bar?)

Managed to open another rom zip and installed, things back to normal (and before the wife gets home) !
One last question .....I install roms on the internal sd as I can never see them when installed on the external sd, guess I am missing something simple ?
Thanks for your help this afternoon

After rooting my Flyer via revolutionary, it has a custom version of CWM recovery on it. But this version won't allow me to flash anything from zip. I have attempted to update recovery via ROM Manager, but the flyer is not listed in the device list when I select. Is there any alternative clockwork mod recovery available at the moment? Google has only pointed me back to the same revolution version. I've also tried an older version but it will not flash after parsing the file.
Is any one else getting these problems?
Thanks

What exactly do you mean it won't let you flash anything from zip? What happens?
Hey globatron...
I was hoping you would see this, when I put any thing on the flyer to flash, be it a battery mod, rom, theme etc, cwm does not 'see' it, it returns a zip file not found error. I've tried to ext-sd as well as internal memory, just no luck...
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
ok, I was hoping it would be something like this. There are a few things to try before assuming that it's the recovery. If recovery runs running I personally doubt it's a recovery problem.
Ok, point #1 is that you were correct to think it might be ext_sd, it is, you can only use the external SD for flashing.
You need to make sure that it is formatted fat32, but I doubt that is an issue or it would not have mounted.
If you're transferring to the sdcard via mounting under windows, make sure you "safely remove" before attempting to flash or it might not flush to SD and you'll see no file, the same applies to doing a "umount" first in linux.
One way of being sure it's really there is to push with adb, but that is not necessary if you do the above. You should not use unmount usb storage in recovery for this purpose, you must unmount from the PC side first.
Hmmm, OK I've sent the data in many ways, as you have suggested,via adb push & including Bluetooth, but the thing is, not even all of the sdcard contents show up on the drive, should I try a different SD all together? What if I download directly on the flyer? This is boggling me, desires and gtabs are for more straight forward... lol
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
Maybe try reformatting the sdcard, or as you said use another card. You you could try a direct download to the flyer also.
Could it be the folder structure? Will try a different card and report back, Captain!
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
OK, did a full format on the card, didn't work
Wiped the partition and recreated it as fat32, loaded the zip files and she's all good, busy flashed zips as I type!
Who woulda thought huh...
Thanks for all your help Globatron!

I highly recommend getting this utility for formatting Sd cards. It's much better than the Windows or Mac built-in format and can fix things when they are really messed up.

Hi Guys,
I recently got a ATT S2 and the first thing I tried to do is root it. I followed this guide.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_%28AT%26T%29:_Full_Update_Guide
I successfully installed CWM, but I cannot flash a rom using my SD card. Whenever I click install from internal sd card, I get a mounting issue.
(e: Can't mount /emmc/)
I am using the INTERNAL Sd card mounting.
Also, I cannot connect to ODIN or SuperOneClick. FOr some reason I can only use Heimdall.exe to install the CWM.
I am totally out of energy guys. I am ready to give up and stick to stock.
BTW. my phone is not bricked, I can turn it on fine.
The sd card is also not broken; I have two of them that I tried, both the same issue.
You flash probably the cm kernel. If your phone works do a master reset or factory reset from settings menu that should bring you back to stock. If not maybe this will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682 is a bit old but should get you the proper kernel instale

I already know that I flashed the CWM. I want to know why I can't recognize my SD card so i can change a rom.
Choose Install from SD. Not from internal sd.
The mount points are off. Samsung mounts the external inside of /sdcard instead of at the root of the filesystem. The how-tos here were infinitely more helpful to me than cyanogen's, but that was months ago.
