Trying to root my cousins Vibrant. It's rooted, and i flashed CWM from Rom manager, but for some reason on the computer it doesn't show the root of the sd card, no android related junk, and then when I try and flash a custom rom it doesn't show the zips on cwm and if i click /sd it errors and goes back.
Edit: nevermind, figured out when it's in mass storage it shows two different ones.

So I had a restore point on my TMo Stock rom created using the Clockworkmod recovery. I tried to update to Axura 2.1 from 2.0.5 today and the update messed up halfway. I'm going to take a wild guess it's my horrible mac book pro's wrong doing, faulty download (I'm a mac hater, it's a company issue device). Anyway, my phone is basically stuck at recovery and I have to wait till I head home to use the USB Cable and redownload the rom.
So my questions:
1. Is there no way to access the external SD Card? So I thought of copying a new download of the rom to the external SD, but all I can access is the internal SD card contents when installing zip from sd card. I tried to mount ext-sd (or sd-ext?) and it fails.
2. I tried restoring to the restore I created when I had my stock rom. It seems to go through it but then it just goes back to the recovery after reboot?
3. When I go home, how do I copy the files to the internal SD Card? For some reason, I don't think it's as easy as pluggin the usb cable to the phone while in Recovery mode?
Help would be appreciated.

Today I decided to flash CM7 onto my SGS2. I had the Stock Samsung 2.3.4 Rom with CF-Root Kernel on it. After flashing through CWM I got stuck at the boot logo, but I was able to re-flash it properly through CWM. But now, I can't access the inserted 8GB SD Card (except for Root explorer). So I reflashed CM7, but that didn't solve the SD Card problem. I asked Google what to do, but most of the solutions posted in forums etc. are for other devices (e.g. HTC Devices). I already picked up some key words like "emmc" or something like that, but I don't know if this has something to do with this problem. I am experienced with flashing (Galaxy 3 i5800, Galaxy S i9000) and it's possible dangers, but I've never encountered something similiar to this problem.
So, is there a possibility to fix things back to normal? I can access the internal and external SD card with my PC/Laptop and Root Explorer, and all the Files are still there and neither seem to be damaged nor corrupted.

Edit: I tried the following Cyanogenmod 7 External Sd Card problem, but still I can't access the SD Card with the OI File Manager (i don't know what it's called in english) or other apps.
Edit2: I can't even flash another ROM through CWM, as I can't access the external 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.
I just installed the newest CWM through the phone emulator. Recovery says that it is the latest version as I installed, but it is not able to access the external SD card anymore? Or sorta, cause I can see of the things there, but if I pick external sd card it says file not found. Not sure what happened. I have tried to unmount and remount sd card. Any ideas?

I noticed the same thing. I'm going back to RA.
I have installed CWM 5.8.4.8 using this method:

Had originally installed CWM using this method:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-on-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-belltelusrogers/
So is it possible that I didnt update CWM correctly or is it the version that has these issues?
Suggest you revert to the CWM image found in the "note everything" thread, and flash via Odin...
Bigjoe has it nailed down tight....then stick with the version..
the card read issue is not found in the original CWM version....so stay with it....IMHO
Ok I used Odin again to install CWM through it and is working again. Is there a way to update CWM through odin?
The "older version" works the same as the later (better actually) so later isn't an improvement. Like gregsarg said, stick with the version you have.
I tried to install revolt jb rom , did the wipes but it didn't install properly
The screen buttons wouldn't work, so I went into recovery and totried install my back up off my internal memory but it wouldn't find it ? Lucky I had wanam rom on the Sd card I istalled that.,
when I've checked it looks like all my files are there on the internal memory but it won't recognize then,this is the same in recovery. Any ideas how to access my internal memory again?
I've tried searching but am away from my computer so it's not easy.
Very difficult to understand your post .
kemeys ???
You say
Off my internal memory but it wouldn't find it ?>>>>
You say
did the wipes
Logic says you wiped the backup or part of it .
Root with the exact same recovery you used .
jje
All the file are still on my phone , it just won't find them, I managed to locate then with root browser lite , but recovery can't find them.
Typing this on my phone, so you'll have to excuse the typos.

update
I've just plugged my phone into the computer, it looks like all my files are still on the internal memory card, but they've been put into a folder lablled 0, just got to figure out how to access that folder on the phone or better still on the recovery. No problem find it on the phone now, just can't access it from recovery.
If i can get into the folder in recovery I should be able to restore my back up, I tried to copy and paste the back up into the clockworkmod backup folder, it copied, but failed the MD5 test when trying to restore.
Update: copied the cwm back up to the external sd card and it worked, so I'm back where I started from, just got to sort out my files and delete any duplicates.
