Hey I'm currently using the lightning 6.1 rom you guys have on this forum but I'm trying to get the new cyanogen mod 7.1 on my galaxy s2 instead via CWM.
I've rebooted into recovery to try flash the .zip but nothing shows up on my SD card... when I try enter the folder it just springs back to the start menu and i'm unable to flash.
Does anyone have any idea?
I have:
Formated my SD card, then put all my data back on.
Made sure the SD card is working.
So how comes its not working via CWM? I can ask to flash it via the actual app but when it boots into recovery to flash it gives me a signature error.

Try going to the "mounts and storage" option in CWM. Then click on mount sd card. That might be your problem.
TIP: If you want to flash CM7 flash this kernel before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 , becasue if your using cf root kenrel you will get into trouble.

I tried this and it still says there are no files on the SD card... do I need to name it something specific? I tried naming the rom zip update.zip once but that didn't do anything either.
I dont really want to flash to a recovery rom only if i'm not able to get CM7 off of my SD Card :/
*edit* I currently have the zips at the root of the SD card.. there are 4 folders data, LOST.DIR, DCIM and media... should the files be on the root or in another folder?
Make sure the zip file is on the root of the "internal" sd card, also just keep the name the same as the downloaded file. You should find it somewhere at the bottom of the list. Also select with the menu button, not the power button. Power button is to go back.

Only option I get for SD cards is external_sd which is near the bottom...

He means, place it on phones storage, and not the SD card. Just use the USB cable and transfer it from your PC (Or Mac )

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.

Sorry
...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
sr
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 !!
Steve
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?)

Phew....
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

well Hello to all
the thing is my Galaxy S2 does not detect the internal mass memory (16gb), I cant get acces with the phone or PC
its boot ok, I can make calls, texts etc... but, for example if I try to take a picture with the camera it says "insert an SD Card before using the camera"..
Download mode & recovery are ok.
I allready format everything I could :S
Odin does not recognize the phone :S
any Help??
excuse my English :silly:
Thanx!!
What FW are you running?
i don't think this is an internal memory problem.. under the camera's settings, did you set the storage to memory card? maybe you accidentally set it to memory card
Having a similar problem, but after rooting my internal storage seems to have disappeared?? any ideas/help greatly appreciated!

Maybe you need to mount in CWM under mounts and storage. Sorry if I'm mistaken!

Surely it's under "emmc" in the root folder. Get solid explorer and you'll see....

Have tried that too, pretty much tried everything. Having one last shot with a different idea this evening, but if that doesn't work am out of ideas.
Thanx to all for the help! I have made some progress... now when I conects the phone to the pc recognizes it as a disk storage, can not be formatted...
I have X-Treme CM10 1.0 it is bassed in CyanogenMod 10 . Android 4.1.1
I think I have to Mount the USB Storage.... but dont know how. ( I believe thats where the problem is)
In Recovery mode > mount USB Storage it says "E. unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)"
I´ve tried too Recovery mode > mount SDCard = "Error mounting /SDCard"
Odin stills not recognize the divice! so I cant change the rom or something.
What if if try to use Odin with RE PARTITION chek "ON"?? , I know is risky..
thanks for the help, and again, excuse my english!

I'm facing the same issue. Apparently, its not the issue with ROM or rooting. I'll try to flash new kernel through CWM(as i can't connect via ODIN ). Will update here if find any solution
Why don't you download some good ROM via phone's browser and then install it via recovery? You should try. Second method is that you insert Micro sd with some ROM (try one of the Samsung 4.0.3 based ROMs) and Siyah kernel on it and then flash it.
flash stock with pit
same problem with cm 10.1
Go into recovery and format emmc (internal storage).
Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

Well hello first of all this is my first time posting and sorry if it's the wrong place
So well you see I have Lenovo A516 and I had a custom lollipop ROM installed in it and my sdcard and internal storage was already linked in this ROM so I was enjoying myself until it got bricked by itself so I went into twrp recovery and wiped everything too flash ROM but it wouldn't flash because my sdcard isn't getting detected and I get following errors
E: can't mount sdcard
E: can't mount internal storage
E:can't mount sdcard while loading GUI (something like that)
And yes I have read other threads about it but my problem isn't the same ....I removed my sd card yet I still get these errors and I can't download anything out of market like songs from browser or anything ..I will check my card if it's damaged but still I shouldn't get errors after removing it which I do get so plz help me ...I thought it might be a rom so I flashed allegro ROM using PC and a flash tool but still the problem exists

This is an issue that happens on multiple devices. Happened to me on some of my older phones. I always found that it was much more effective to store the rom .zip file on your internal storage rather than your SD card.

Thanks for the advice but this isn't the solution for my problem (lol) actually as mentioned above when I flashed this rom it already had my memory card and internal storage joined and in a file explorer it never showed my sdcard as a separate storage but now my phone won't detect my sd card and neither let's me download anything to my internal memory ...I am seriously in a pinch

Ummm =^= ahmmm I don't quite get it but I think it's custom not stock .....I do know whats a firmware but I don't know how to tell if it's stock or custom like if I am running custom ROM then i will have a custom firmware ?(sorry for the trouble my knowledge is not good enough)
Update: my sdcard was the which was corrupted ....well actually not corrupted more like breasted by the over clocked processor's heat so anyway even if the sd card isn't avaiable why cant my internal storage be accessed ? Any help on that
