Hi all, I have a wierd issue with CWM. When I tries to apply an update by choosing the zip file in CWM recovery mode, it can't access the external SD card (external_sd) directory. It kept saying no files found. But the SD card can be accessed fine while in android, just not in recovery mode. Any idea what could be causing the issue? I'm on the latest cognition rom.
You should put the update on your phone internal Sd storage. Thats how CWM always works with my devices.
Yea.. thats what I had to do. But I would still want to fix the issue. It was working before and I've always flashed the zip from external SD card.
Again i have never seen CWM recovery with external drive as an option not ever since SGS1 .

When I boot up into recovery, I can never get my external sd card to mount properly. I can select it but it just goes back to the internal sd card directory as if there's nothing there. I had this issue on my Infuse as well but that had the stock Samsung 2GB sd card in it, I've got an 8GB card now from Patriot. I've formatted it with SDFormatter with no luck.
Does CWM simply not allow you to load your recovery (nandroid) backup files from the external, or ROM installation files, etc.?
Bump... me neither!

I figured out my issue after the fact and forgot about this thread.
I kept thinking that I needed to mount the /emmc to load a .zip but I found out that when I go to load a file, I needed to pick 'choose zip from internal sdcard' at the bottom which actually is not the internal card, but the external sdcard. Yeah that confused me. I can now get into it that way, hopefully you can too.
Also, make sure you only use the Home and Back Arrow softkeys to navigate CWM as this was causing me some issues using the Power key like I was used to.
I upgraded to the most recent Batista70 rom, and after that to the CheckROM (from the old Leomar revolution ROM).
I can access the internal SD card in every possible way, except I can't move apps to it. Every time I try it says "Your phone does not have SD card. Insert SD card.", even though in the Manage Applications menu, on the SD Card tab it shows all the apps that can be moved to the card as well as the correct storage underneath.
Debugging is off. It's a fresh install. In the Storage menu, it refers to the internal SD card as "USB storage" and to the external SD card (which I have none) as just SD card.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use a different rom. For some reason I believe some roms have bugs. I had this same issue with barista hence I moved back to checkrom
Copy files to pc then format the Sd card the move the files to your sd card hope it work !

I installed checkrom 3.0.0 based on XXKJ2, and will now try to install 3.1.1 which is based on XWKJ3.
The strange thing is, even in CWM recovery, I can install zips from the sd card, but it has the option to "install a zip from the internal sd card", and that doesn't work, so I'm afraid even CWM is reading that as the usb storage.

That is strange indeed. Now the only thing left to do I suppose is to reflash via odin before flashing a custom rom.
Format SD Card
Format your SD card, first copy all your files to your PC. Then wipe all data and install a new rom
Just flashed a stock rom, albeit not it's first (which was from July), and the problem persists...
I filed a bug report on the Checkrom bugtracker here: bugtracker. checkrom. com/ view.php?id=31 (can't post links, too new a user)
I'm guessing it's not a problem with their rom anymore, but if they solve it, good for everyone...
It's really strange because I can read the SD card perfectly, and it even shows on the pc when I plug the phone in, but some applications, like camera and microphone can't record on it. The economist magazine accessed it without problem and downloaded into it a couple of issues, so... strange...
After a drop down, my phone started to beep and charge itself without connecting to charger or USB. Usb couldn't recognize it as USB2 device, so I'we done a factory reset, every thing was ok but CWR can't see my sdcard.
I tried, stock rom, custom roms, repartition, format, kernels, older cwr, nothing, so I'am stuck with odin.
Can u help me, pls.
RESOLVED. - clean flash new stock rom
Can your phone when on see the SD card? If it can, and you're just wanting to flash .zip files from CWM recovery, why not put them on the internal storage?
I can acces my internal storage, with file managers but not in cwr, he can't find any files or folders on my internal (USB) storage.
Im sure cwm doesnt read external sd card

I have no external sd, this is about internal storage card, what is not recognized by cwr
So why did you say can't acces my sdcard?
Are you sure you're using CWM recovery correctly? For example, Apply update from .zip file on SD card --> choose zip from internal sdcard.
Note, I said choose zip from internal sdcard (5th option), not "choose zip from sdcard".
You are right the new CWR has separated options.....
Meanwhile a got it, after installing new Sijah
Can u install rom to external or set it to instal apps directly to external sd?
I have no idea what you're asking, but didn't you just say you don't have an external SD anyway?
With my old (broken) rom, i couldn't acces my internal storage with cwr, the new cwr 5 has separated storages as you mentioned,
Now i reflashed clompletly my sgs and i can see all my files and install .zip. so i resolved, it.
But hey thanks for underlineing the new options in cwr.

its with all roms its defo my 4gb externalSD
just mounted storage in cwm and its using my external sd card how do i change?
someone must know something?
Go to mount and storage in CWM and check that your sdcard is mounted
I also experienced this.
I tried copying (moving, actually) mp3 from my internal storage into my SD card. I did this through my PC. The folders were moved and there was a progress bar that tells me the copying status. By the way, I was not on the USB Debugging mode. When the process was finished, I was surprised to see that the folders were empty and since I moved the files, the source files were no longer on my SD.
I don't know how and why it happened. Now, I always turn to USB Debugging mode when I copy files into my SD card or when I move files from my internal storage.
Suddenly I get this error in the notification bar:
Damaged SD Card - SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.
And the SD card is not mounted. It's the internal one, the USB storage one I guess.
My external SD card works fine and is being mounted.
This is a huge problems since a lot of apps doesn't work when there is no internal SD. Swiftkey can't find it's languange packs, Gallery and many other video/image apps also fail etc.
If I reboot to recovery and to install zip from sdcard, I can see both my internal and external sd card. So recovery seem to be able to mount the internal sd, but android itself does not.
Now, I could format it, but I would like to at least be able to back up before I do, which is a bit of a problem since can't take the card out and use in a card reader and I can't get android to mount and share it either, even though recovery is able to mount the card just fine.
1) Does anybody know why this has happened?
2) Does anybody know how I can backup the contents of the internal sd, even if I can't get android to mount it?
3) Does anybody know how I any other way of fixing this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Rom & Kernel plz? :silly:
Also, Not really sure about this but I have a far reminiscence of having read somewhere that you can actually access your folders through USB from CWM once they are mounted. Please someone confirm this because I may be speaking bull****; otherwise you could try to backup your data from your very same computer.

Flash latest Siyah kernel (if you're on ICS/JB) and then boot to CWM. In mounts&storage mount USB storage and connect pc and phone via usb.
