Hi I'm new here, I hope someone can help me with this issue. Sorry if I am reposting any past thread.
I rooted my stock 2.1 (update-1) HTC Aria because I'm having a problem with the "low space" notification for a long time now and I wanted to make a partition on the SD card so I can link my apps to the SD and free some space. To root my phone I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730002 and everything worked perfectly.
Then I followed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723483 (posts #9 & #18) and downloaded the free version of ROM Manager from the Market as it says (4.7.0.5) but, when it "Reboots into Recovery", the recovery mod won't load. The screen displays (at the center) the little droid logo with the warning sign above (the triangle with d '!' inside). However, I can access the clockworkmod recovery manually using the volume down + power button, but there is still no option to make a partition on the advanced section (as it shows in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3RMJdpfHIc).
In other words, I can't do nothing!
So, what can I do fix this? All I want is to make the SD partition to get rid of the "low space" messege.
Please someone help me with this issue.
Even though you already have Clockworkmod installed, you will need to install it again from within ROM Manager by selecting "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery". It's confusing, but the version ROM Manager installs is called a "fake flash" and is what you boot into when you select "Reboot to recovery" from ROM Manager. Once you do that you should be able to partition the SD card.
In general when you are flashing ROMs or making any other changes (besides partitioning the SD card), you should use the volume down + power method to reach Clockworkmod. There are known issues with booting directly to Clockworkmod through ROM Manager when trying to install ROMs.
If you still are having trouble partitioning the SD card, I'd just suggest taking the SD card out of the phone and partitioning it from a Linux LiveCD on your computer instead.
Good luck.
Thanks very much I'll see what I can do.

First let me say that I installed CWM once already so I am fairly confident that I understand the basic steps. However, after I had initially installed CWM I tried to install a new ROM, but my tablet just hung on the "Viewsonic Birds" screen for like 45 mins. So, I shut down and booted to CWM but now my tablet is empty. I mean literally empty because I wiped everything in order to install the new ROM and somehow I messed that up big time because even that .zip file is no longer there. After some searching through the forums, I found a stock image of TnT 3588 and got it loaded, but in doing so lost CWM. So, I reinstalled CWM and saw it load (saw the cardboard box etc.), rebooted holding down Vol + key and saw the 'recovery key detected'. Then it goes to a screen with a progress bar and then it just boots normally....
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm having the same issue after a nvflash that didn't take. Can't get into recovery.
I've had a few issues with that also. I try the SD card installer, drop it on the card named update.zip, reboot, it looks like it installs, but after rebooting it won't let me boot to CWM. So, I try the internal installer, drop it on the SD card named udpate.zip, it installs, I reboot, and go right into CWM. So either when I connect my tablet it somehow doesn't mount the SD card but mounts one of the internal partitions, or the SD and Internal installers were mixed up...
Can anybody help me with this?? (apologies - I first posted thisin the 'General' forum and then realised it should have been put into the Q&A section)
ClockworkMod Recovery (v6.0.1.0) will not mount my SD card (SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra Card) and posts "Error mounting /external_sd!"
I have successfully rooted my phone (GT-I9300 running the stock I9300XXBLFB at present) by following the various threads on XDA.
I formatted the sandisk SD card by using the S3's menu>settings>storage>format SD Card. The card is then visible when I run the the "My Files" app, showing both the internal /mnt sdcard and my new /mnt extSdCard which shows a total of 59.47GB space.
I subsequently installed the 'ROM Manager Premium v5.0.0.8" app from the Play Store and then flashed "ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.1".
My problem is that when I run ClockworkMod Recovery and select 'Recovery Mode' - 'mounts and storage'/'mount /external_sd' the app wont mount the SD card stating "Error mount /external_sd"
What am I doing wrong. I have searched the forum for similar problems but have drawn a blank unfortunately. Is it a known issue with the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra Card?
I am confused because the "My Files' app can see the card but the ClockworkMod Recovery app cannot.
I am trying to mount the external SD card so that my PC can recognise it and transfer some new downloaded ROMs to it.
A related (or maybe not) issue is that when I open the CWM Manager app it shows the following warning "this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM .1.1 or newer. It appears that you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."
Help!!!!! Although I registered on XDA in 2006 I have been in the Android wilderness for several years having 'jumped ship' to the iPhone before returning back to the Android fold.
Unfortunately my knowledge isnt what it once was and I need a helping hand.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this.

Recovery - ClockWorkMod (CWM)
A custom CWM 5.5 build is included in CF-Root, taken from this thread. This provides for the ability to install custom ROMs, and do nandroid (full device) backups and restores. Now also support OTA updates, but an OTA update itself will probably remove CWM, so you need re-flash CF-Root after OTA.
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead (installed by CF-Root automatically)
Util - CWM Manager
My management application for CWM is also installed, see the recovery thread linked above for further details. It allows you to command CWM (install a ROM, make/restore backups, etc) from normally booted Android.
1st of all the cwm version your using is flakey at best with extsdcard support its something that has only been introduced in version 6.0.1.0 and seems to be still giving bother. If you want extsdcard support I would recommend chainfires version which is non touch but vgood extsdcard support.(find it in original android development)
Secondly cwm manager is the app to use with chainfires cwm versions not the other cwm versions flying around.

Thanks for the helping hand JJEgan .. very much appreciated. I am finding the learning curve for Android a bit steep at the mo because of my time spend throwing money at Apple!!
For anyone else who has a similar problem to mine then follow JJEgans link above, download "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" to your PC then follow these instructions
* Your phone should not be connected to your PC yet
* Start up Odin3 v1.85
* Click the PDA button, which is located under the Bootloader button
* This opens up a box, all you need to do is locate and select the "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" file
* Turn your phone OFF
* Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, it will ask you to cancel or continue ... press the Vol Up button to continue
* This will put the phone in 'download mode' it should say downloading...
* Connect your phone to your PC
* Make sure the Repartition is NOT checked (by default it should not be anyway)
* Click START
This worked for me and meant that I now have CWM Manager v3.60 running without the warning "this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM .1.1 or newer. It appears that you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."

5.5.4.8 Touch works ok, dunno about mounting external, though. The none-touch that comes with CF-CWM works ok.
One question : Why you terribly require to mount the SD card from Clockworkmode??? since you have other options to tranfer your files to SD card.
I dont think you can mount even on the Cainfire's CWM, since SGS3 is not supporting to mount SD cards as mass storrage even booted condition.
Thanks SwiftSmoke, Kryten2k35 & ZACQ8 for the help!! much appreciated!!!
I have gotten myself terribly confused with all this although the 'mist' is now starting to lift a wee bit now
I have the premium version of the following CF apps - Rom Manager (CW Manager v3.60); Mobile Odin Pro v3.0; Triangle Away v1.70 and ROM Manager Premium v5.5.58 (CWM 6.0.1.0)
I have 'rooted' my mobile and successfully run 'Triangle Away'.
All my problems began when I tried to change my mobile from 'stock' ROM to a Cyanogen ROM (I downloaded a stable v9 Cyanogen ROM and placed it onto the root of my external SD card. All my problems then began when I rebooted CWM v3.60 into Clockwork Recovery mode to find out that it would not recognise my SD card).
I have now successfully applied CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip.
Question: what is the simplist way to flash to Cyanogen from here? Can I download a ROM and simply use Mobile Odin from now on?
Thanks again for your patience .. I joined XDA way back in 2006 so im disappointed my skills are not up to much at the moment (like many many others I got seduced by the Big Apple!!)
Bob
dont use ROM Manager anymore with this CWM (CF)
use Vol-up+Home+power to enter CWM
you should be able to see now external SD, choose your CM9 zip file from
'install zip from SD card' / 'choose zip from SD card' then, you will find the zip,
if not your SD card is not supported, reeboot and place the zip on the internel SD card through MTP
then select the zip from "choose zip from internel SD card"
dont forget to do the other steps (wiping cache. dalvik etc.. as per the ROM thread instruction)
Thanks ZACQ8 - that is exactly the advice I need
I'll post back later as to how I get on so that anybody else with my problem can follow this through.
Bob
All sorted!
I have now got my mobile running CM9.0 RC2
What I didn't realise was that you can access both your internal and external SD card via the Kies app (it works on both OS X and Windows PC when connected by USB cable).
During the reboot my mobile automatically detected that I am on a UK/O2 sim (I wasnt too sure if it would and was initially put off changing the stock ROM thinking it would cause problems - it didnt and hasnt!!)
Thanks to all who helped!!

Any idea why that is? I'd like to use my sdcard the same way as any htc did, using TotalCommander and seeing it as an external drive. I had all sorts of backup and sync-scripts working with my htc, now they are all useless, because of this stupid restriction.
I guess I'll wait for someone to crack through this silly wall created by Samsung.
And I see some have already done the first part (external sdcard as USB drive) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009

Lots of technical reasons. With a running phone you can use the APK 'Easy UMS' to mount the sdcard as mass-storage anyway.
You _should_ be able to run the commands manually through adb in CWM.

I also have same problem/error with my Sandisk 64GB. Running latest version CWM 6.0.2.3 on rooted Stock ROM T-mobile GS3.
I would really like to save/backup/restore my nandroids from the ext_sdcard since they are over 2GB....on a 16GB internal space is more than I have to spare. Can anyone confirm a fix or workaround for this? Thanks in advance.
**UPDATE**
So it appears the problem is ExtFat is the problem...is there a way to format a 64GB card with FAT32? from what I have read on other threads using windows or the phone itself will use the EXTFat format.

I tried the Fat32 format and I was able to format the SanDisk Mini SD 64gb to Fat33; however, CWM still won't recognize the ext SD. Were you successful in any way? I May just downgrade from 6.0.2.3 to the 5's as mentioned in another thread, but I have to refind it. I'll update once I confirm that the ext SD will in fact in CWM.

I just found out I have the same problem. I am about to follow these steps but apparently it's inside the S3 thread.
Can I use this method for my Note 2 N7105?
I had the same problem on my Note II N7105 with ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 and a 64GB SanDisk.
I backed up my SD card, then used this tool to format it to FAT32 on my Win7 Laptop: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/ind...at32format.htm
After that I copied everything back. Works perfectly now. Thanks Rafi_ for pointing me in the right direction.
I've got SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC formatted FAT32 with 32K cluster size and CWM 6.0.3.2 can't mount it. Installed PhilZ Touch 5, which is also based on CWM 6.0.3.2 and same issue.
Also can't read the contents in SlimBean or LiquidSmooth. It works fine in FoxHound, OmegaROM and Sotmax. My 8GB microSD works fine everywhere.
Any ideas why I'm not having the luck with this 64GB card with FAT32 format and 32K cluster size?
Hi guys i have problem with a phone thats friends gives me to repair and this is the problem.
Phone was dead so i put in download mode and flashed with "T959UVJFD" , and the phone stucks on GALAXY S logo and then the 4 lights of the down of the phone on and the screen was black so i tried differents combinations of roms, pits files , etc.
The phone finaly booted propely when i flashed a kernel "Bali_1.8.8UV-zImage" with heimdall .
After the phone booted i was happy but i checked and internal 16gb was not recognized and also when i inserted sd card also no detected.
Finaly i was searching solution also when tried to flash with RIFF BOX BY jtag and still same , phone only boots when i flash with kernel "Bali_1.8.8UV-zImage" but still no internal or external storage .
Also in recovery mode messages like
"can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)"
Anybody can help me?
I need to work one of them storages
Did you ever find a solution to this? I have an old Vibrant laying around that has this same problem....both the external and internal memories are unavailable no matter what I do.

a) When you see this message in recovery, what happens if you simply select "Reboot phone" and hit the Power button? Does it then boot up?
b) mmcblk0 = Internal sdcard. I hate to say it, but it sounds very likely your friend's phone could have been hit by the Encyption Unsuccessful bug (refer to Merio90's thread).
As a test, you could follow Merio90's OP steps and use the updated CWM recovery (via update.zip) to re-partition your external sdcard. Note: all data will get wiped (so backup first). When you "reinstall packages" in recovery, you may get that "can't mount ... emmcblk0" error again. Just "reinstall packages" again. Then see if you get int / ext sdcard detection at that point.
If still not detected, proceed to flash a CM7 v7.2.0-vibrantmtd rom. Flash it twice (1st flash updates recovery; 2nd flash converts to mtd partitioning and flashes rom). Merio90's thead is geared towards ending up at an ICS rom, but keep in mind essentially all of the Vibrant EU occurences have been on ICS rom's. This is why I suggest using that stable CM7 build as a test. For kicks, see if you get sdcard detection (probably not). If not, do the vold.fstab emmc/sdcard swap, which works the same and uses the same syntax on GB & ICS (ie. refer to Merio90's OP for vold.fstab syntax). Flash CM7, edit your vold.fstab, & reboot (for swap to take place).
If you're good to go ... you can always proceed onto a JB rom from there. Read through the last discussions re. JB rom flashing issues and kernel compabitibility - ie. to save you the trial & error.
If you still don't get sdcard detection at this point, maybe this is something different altogether. But, my hunch is that you'll get detection on CM7 (after the vold.fstab swap).
Hi SGP users!
Last night, I installed the Jellybean CM10 ROM (the Nightly one). I also installed the GApps that came with the post. So I booted to Recovery Mode, I tried installing the ROM (Install zip from sd card>Install zip from internal sd card>downloads>the jb rom), but it says "INSTALLATION ABORTED". I repeated to install but to no avail. I rebooted the system to research on this, and the user said that you have to format system and try again. I booted to Recovery Mode again, formatted the system (it says system formatted or something like that), and installed the ROM for the nth time. It still says INSTALLATION ABORTED. Now, I tried installing the GApps zip file, and it worked (I installed the zip file because I want to know if all the files on the internal sd card are broken). So I tried installing the ROM again. Aborted. I rebooted the system, and now it's stuck with the white Samsung text! I don't know why, so I just drained the battery with the Samsung text still ongoing.
Today, I'm pretty sure the battery is drained (there's no text anymore), so I tried charging it. Nada, it's stuck with the loading logo on the battery image.
I think my device is bricked, I don't know. I researched it and all I found was the BootLoop. Is that the error on my SGP? I want to know if my device is bricked, and what caused this. Help?
Its not a brick..reboot to recovery (home + volume up + power ) and install some ics rom for player ..boot to that rom and then go again to recovery and install jb rom.That is offcourse if you have 5.0

Thanks, and one more question: Is it okay if I download the ROM zip from my computer and just transfer it to my player with Download Mode? Because I can't open my player, just to Download and Recovery mode.

transfer the zip files to your SD card; use those files to flash. Also, now, can you get into recovery/download mode? Like after having removed the player from the USB?
just curious- did you originally download the ROM/app package to your device (ie /mnt/sdcard/????) and flash, or did you place the files in the SD card (ie /mnt/sdcard/external_sd [or something like that]) before flashing?
===
Edit: Ok, so literacy kicked in and I carefully read your OP. My guess, and I could be wrong, though I doubt it, is that the installation aborted because you flashed the packages from your internal SD and NOT your external SD (ie the actual SD card). Since the ROM rearranges directory tree (or whatever), it would stand to reason that the installation aborted during the installation process since it could no longer locate the zip. Ie it is no longer /mnt/sdcard/downloads (or wherever), but rather /storage/sdcard0/downloads. I'm guessing that CWM bypasses this and accesses your SD card directly, rendering installation from your actual SD card immune to these effects.
So, try again (assuming your device can still go into CWM recovery) and flash the packages in the proscribed order, but this time, from the ACTUAL SD card, and NOT internal. I "upgraded" directly from a GB rom, having flashed the zip files from the external SD card, and suffered no problems, so I know it isn't necessary to go through ICS. Good luck!
This is a helpful one! I'm sorry, but one last question, (I'm a newbie sorry!) how do you move the zip files to the external SD Card? And if I do that, and it flashed successfully, do I have to start again if I remove my SD card? Really sorry for the questions, but I really want to know.
Thank you so much! Since my computer didn't recognize my SGP (suckish USB cable lol), I placed my external SD card on my cellphone and plugged the cellphone into the computer to download the zip files (I downloaded them directly to the card). Afterwards I placed my SD in my SGP and flashed--It's working, thank you!!!

All you need to do is use a file manager to move zip to sdcard1. Make sure you follow the steps in op of rom.

Hello all,
I picked up a NT with the sdcard method pre set up on it. I have since converted it to CM Internal and CWM internal as I do not care for the B&N firmware at all and i wanted better performance. My gripe is that CyanoBoot boots to the SDcard by defailt and not only that but to a cm7 nightly partition. I want to simply replace the bootloader instead of running an "altboot." Does any one know if their is a good reliable bootloader for the NT? Perhaps a CyanoBoot or Unlocked stock bootloader? I want my SDcard to simply be an SDcard and the NT to be internal CM like any other tablet. I at the very least want to remove the cm 7 and cm 9 options from the boot options and erase them from the SDcard as I am running cm10.2 internal and they are just a waist of space on my SDcard. Thank you.
P.S.
Oh I am also having a bootloop where my NT stock boots to internal CWM. My work around thus far after reflashing a few different CWM recovery's is to insert USB power turn the NT on then remove USB power when I see the large "N", then hold the "n" button and manually select internal mmc. The boot loop started when I used the 1 click recovery install method offered by the latest version of [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool by DsLNeXuS. I did flash Irrecovery2.img and that solved the problem but removed my recovery all together and I was still booting to the SDcard... So i am currently using CWM 2.0.2.8 and using my USB Power work around.
Thanks again I hope you guys have some Ideas.

I think your bootable SD card is messing things up.
Maybe you should make over your MicroSD card.
Below is what I did to get my 8gb Nook Tablet running Jelly Bean and later Kitkat on the internal memory.
I first made a bootable MicroSD card using the following method:
Part 1:
On My computer I:
1. Formatted my Sandisk Class 4, 8gb micro SD card using SDFormatter
2. Downloaded: "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img."
3. Used win32diskimager-v0.7 to write the above img file to the MicroSD card in my MicroSd/USB adapter
4. Used Mini Partition tool to expand the SDCARD partition on the MicroSD card to incorporate all the unallocated space on the MicroSD card.
This gives you a nice set up of CM 10 that runs off the MicroSD card, and gives the card room to hold lots of apps. However, to take the next step and install the system into internal memory, read on.
Part 2: Installing system internally
1. I downloaded "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" (note this is not the same as the one above)and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" to my computer, put my Bootable MicroSD into my USB card reader and copied the above two zip files onto the MicroSD card. (only the "BOOT" partition showed up on my computer)
2. I plugged the Nook USB cable into the wall and into the powered off Nook and waited for it to turn itself on. (Powering on a Nook this way seems to tell the Nook to go to the MicroSD card first to find boot instructions) When the Cyanoboot bootloader appeared, I pushed the N button . That opened up the bootloader menu.
3. I selected "SDC Recovery" which took me to Clockwork mod recovery 6.0.2.7 on the MicroSD card.
4. To navigate around the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and Clockwork mod recovery menu, I used the volume buttons to move up or down, and N to select items and the power button to go back.
5. I first navigated to "Wipe data/factory reset" on the Clockwork mod recovery menu, and pushed N. When that operation was completed, I went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" and installed the "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" file.
6. I then went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" again and this time installed the "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" file.
7. I removed the MicroSD card from the Nook, went back and selected "reboot system now" and the tablet booted the Cyanoboot bootloader and then directly booted CyanogenMod 10 and Android Jelly Bean internally.
In this setup, the Cyanoboot bootloader and Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7 are installed internally, so at any power on, I can push the N button and get into the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and choose internal recovery to get to Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7. Once I'm in Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I can do backups or install more zip files to update.
Hope something in this helps
