For some reason, when I fastboot into CWM and go to Android Recovery and then "install zip from sdcard", my SD-Ext doesn't appear in the menu even though the SD card is installed??
Not sure what could be going on...
Yes, that is a known bug I official cwm

I didn't have any troubles beforehand when I installed Ninja ROM. Anyway to access it so I can install my bootanimation or should I place that zip file to the internal storage? Also, I made a backup of my current ROM and this sucks since I cannot access it right now (if need be)
Edit: Nvm, I had ROM Manager installed and that is what caused the problem. I deleted the program and reflashed CWM and everything is good now.
ext-sd is showing up for me.

Heres what happened. I went to flash Eugene's newest Froyo ROM, but like an IDIOT, i downloaded the wrong .zip in the OP and tried to flash it (please hold the criticisms, i realize impatience can lead to disasters). Obviously it messed everything up and im stuck at Vibrant screen.
I have ADB up and running on my work comp, but ODIN is not an option because i dont want to download anything on my work comp (IT monitors downloads, and i dont feel like dealing with their inquiries).
I rebooted into stock recovery via adb. i selected "reinstall packages" thinking it would get me to clockwork recovery, and i get this message:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Now I'm assuming this means that it cant find the clockwork .zip, but i dont see how thats possible, ive never had that problem up until now. Can anyone point me in the right direction??
-----------------
i tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777016 but it adb says "cant cd /clockworkmod" or something to that effect

tried this to nandroid restore via adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614016 but it says "cant cd to nandroid"
was my sdcard formatted somehow??????
More than likely it formatted your internal SD, you can adb push the clockwork zip and load the revovery, but you won't be able to do much more without a rom zip to flash.
This should also be in Q&A.

Why would it format my internal?? also stock recovery is looking in E:/...my internal usually shows up as F:/
... So you don't want IT to inquire you about what you're downloading, but yet you proceed to download a ROM and not willing to download Odin + Stock?
Just wait until later tonight to go back home and Odin back to stock.

Because sometimes Flashes go awry and wipe EVERYTHING....which is why you should always make a backup of your internal SD card to your PC before you flash a new ROM.

Im not used to working with internal SD cards, and i was not aware that something like this was possible......
is there any way to recover using data recovery software (and since i pushed clockworkmod update.zip to the formatted sd does that TOTALLY eliminate my chance for recovery)? all i really want to do is access my nandroid backup and i can work from there.
Hi,
I S-OFF ed my HTC Flyer succesfully today. But there seems to be something wrong on my device, as when I do a full backup of my device CWM cannot access my SD-Card.
Also when I try to install a custom .zip I cannot access the sdcard.
I noted that some new folders have been created on "/mnt/scard", called "ext_sd", with these subdirs:
- clockworkmod
- data
- LOST.dir
this is the only directory I can access using CWM.
Any idea about what went wrong?
Thanks!
Did actually put it on SD card not internal storage... ie you inserted a SD card into your flyer?
Cwm needs editing so we can access internal storage will have a look at it today.

Yes, I have a SD card in my flyer.
Ok, that's where my problems come from now. I also cannot install a custom .zip.
I tried to permanent root it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193885
It says install went all fine, but SU is not installed, and cannot run apps that need a rooted device (like titanium backup).
--> Is there a way I can reinstall CWM now?
Should it work if I just put the sdcard out of the flyer and then reinstall CWM manually using the fastboot methode? (fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img)?
Yes that would work for really flashing cwm then reflash the su zip

What I have done:
- removed SD Card
- rebooted into fastboot
- installed CWM without the SD Card in the Flyer
- rebooted
- deleted "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/ *.*"
The folder "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/" can't be deleted, all files in there have been.
How comes?
- rebooted into CWM
- flashed su.zip (went fine without errors)
- rebooted
--> Device is still not rooted!
Any idea?
I have reflashed CWM, but have still the same problems/symptoms.
--> CWM not able to access the SD-card.
Any idea?
I noticed also that when I try to do a Backup with CWM it says: "SD Card space free: 15262MB", which is not true, as this is the size of the SD Card. On the card there is only about 5 GB free.
When doing a full backup I get these messages:
Backing up data...
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backup up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Please help me to get this fixxed.

I know this was a problem with android_secure not being recognized correctly on the Evo 3D. I have a feeling that updates will eventually fix this. Also you don't have an sd-ext yet as of now it is not supported in ay roms for any new device.
Post in the correct thread next time... Q&A.

Which version of cwm are you using? Maybe flash the most recent recovery again. I prefer romracers.
Tonight I was trying to install clockworkmod touch on my Prime, and when I was trying to get into fastboot, I made the mistake of selecting the data wipe option, then setting it down to go do something else for a while. As of now, it will not get past the screen that says "ASUS powered by NVIDIA blah blah blah". I can get into CWM just fine, as well as fastboot, but I dont have anything to flash since my memory was wiped. I've tried a million and one things to get it to work, and I still can't find anything. Can someone help me?

read the person's above, seems like a hard brick from the thread he linked.
Since you can get into cwm, you could just download a custom rom place it on your micro sd and then install the custom rom onto your device.
To me it seems that you just wiped the rom on your device, so it has nothing to boot from.
I have not done any rooting or install on my prime yet, but I've been have encounter this similar problem on my htc sensation where it would just have a boot loop. I fix it by reinstalling a rom.
The problem I'm having with flashing a ROM from my micro sd card is that i can't get cwm to see my sd card.

Ah sorry didn't verify before my previous post. I think if you boot into fastboot mode, and use adb to push a zip to your sdcard would work.
If its not mounting, if the kernel/cwm has the option 'mounts' or 'mass storage' like the glitch kernels cwm has for the galaxy captivate, you can go in the n click on 'mount sd' or whatever.... it might not be mounting right away so u could try that to get it mounted

I've tried using adb while the Prime is in fastboot, and adb won't recognize it. Fastboot sees it, but it cant push files. I tried "fastboot update rom.zip" and it gives me this error
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
The issue was resolved by installing the universal drivers located in post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502, then using adb to push CM9 and installing via CWM. Since Fastboot was "working" it seemed that adb should also work, but it didn't with the ASUS drivers.

i know this has been solved but FYI, to get adb to see INTERNAL SDCARD (CWM doesn't support EXTERNAL SDCARD), just go to Install Zip from sdcard, Choose zip from sdcard while usb is connected. Now push the file.
After it's finished, go to your prime, back to Install Zip from sdcard, and again into Choose Zip from sdcard. The zip should be there.
Im using Philz recovery and I have been installing new roms just fine. I wanted to format my internal storage cause the new rom required it. and now when I go to install a new rom it says E:Cannont write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ .last_install_path. How can I fix this?
Try mounting the storage, wiping again, and try flashing again.

Yes, this. After you wipe everything reboot to recovery from within recovery. When/if prompted to install superuser, do so. Get the latest recovery as well if you are not already on it.
Good luck.
