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

I just purchased a new 16gb SD card and have been using an old 8gb that I had from a previous phone since my original 16gb broke in half. At the time of it breaking I was on cm7 7/13 build and otb .13 kernal for cm7. I copied all the files that I had backed up from the old SD and pasted them onto the new 8gb while adding the latest cm7 build and glitch kernals. I just booted into recovery to try and flash these items and it is telling me that there is an error mounting the SD card and under mounts it will not work when I try to mount either. I don't know why this is because all the files on the card are viewable from the regular phone interface and it says that the card is mounted. I just can't enter the "choose zip from SD card" menu in cwm. any idea as to why this is or how I can remedy it?
thanks in advance.

same problem with "cannot mound SD card" in CWM, though I used this same SD card to update to the CM7 7/13 release, but now cannot update to the newest one.. please help!
NEVER worked with COMROM before....HOWEVER
Just like a computer (in a way) your phone saves certain things like how to operate or run on this phone.
Here's my suggestion
Put your mem card in (make sure everything is backed up still) and start the phone NORMAL not in CWM, as you said it reads it just fine so go into:
Settings> Storage
Here hit "Erase SD Card" if it's unavailable just unmount, then proceed
Once you have completed this, put ONLY the .zip files you need back onto the card, via computer...or high speed usb cable, whatever you want but just add the files you absolutly want to do.
Go into CWM and try again....
If it works then go back and only bring onto your card files/pics/vids you ABSOLUTLY want and leave the extra stuff off (meaning maybe one single file on the card is giving the phone a bad taste so the phone is rejecting it.)
Let me know how it goes!
Best of Luck!
Used SD Formatter on my PC, put back the files I backed up onto the SD card, and was able to flash newest CM7! Thanks!
thanks for the info... but sadly my dinc. 2 is set to be delivered tomorrow as I am having the missed call issue quite frequently. I am really going to miss the great dev team and support group that has grown for the fascinate, but it's a shame that this issue is forcing many to jump ship from an otherwise excellent device. thanks again.

I flashed over to ATRIX 2.3.4 v.4 a bit ago. I wasn't super excited so I went back to eclipse v.6. I forgot to nandroid before I flashed ATRIX, so I wiped the big 3 and flashed eclipse back. I booted into recovery to flash the sd flip flop to go back to like stock, but when I selected choose zip from sd card it says couldn't mount sd card. I booted back into eclipse and opened file manager, it says my sd card is empty. Any advice?
Edit: when I go to settings>storage I have the option to mount internal storage(which is actually external) but it says file format unsupported. Did something corrupt the whole card during flashing? Is the sd flip flop the cause? I've flashed it every time I flash a rom that has flip flop pre installed
Edit 2: didn't want to but I formatted sd and it works now, just lost all my rom downloads :sadface:

Just grab u a wifi connect and get em all back on ur phone
I use this site from exclusively my phone (not with the app)and I download all my roms straight to my sd card. Don't have to hook up to computer once except when I had to sbf my phone couple months back((oops note to self. DO NOT DELETE BUILD.PROP OR INIT.RC DUH!!))
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!
I cannot do anything to get my phone out of this bootloop that it is in. I am running senseless rom from scottsrom. I did a fix permissions in rom manager and now i cannot get it out of this loop. I pulled everything out and restarted it, no sd card, no sim card, back is off. Its still bootlooping. pleaseeee help.. any suggestions?
with the sd card out i can get past the bootloader screen and into amon ra recovery, but no sd card means its pointless. Still bootloops though. If i have it in its asking me to update, but i dont remember leaving anything on the root of the sd card. I dont know whats going on here.
If the only thing you need to do is remove a file from the SD card, then you can use an adapter and delete it using your computer, or just borrow a buddy's phone and insert the card and delete it there. Worst case, you buy yourself a new blank SD card and copy the folder (with full path) for your nandroid backups over to the new card and try restoring a backup.
If those recommendations at not helpful, you can do a lot from ADB. I recommend following some of the available processes in the development section to reinstall the appropriate kernel (boot.img).

aye, thanks man. atm im at work and dont have access to another sd card or anyones phone that can get to the root of the sd card.
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.
