Ok i am new to this phone, just some questions. I am coming from NEXUS S.
First of all, I flashed CWM 4.0 using ODIN, so how did it update itself to 5.0??
Second, with 4.0 I dont have any problems, but with 5.0.2.7, how do you mount internal memory??
What is emmc, efc etc. In nexus S, it just used to mount internal memory because it never had a slot for micro SD. But since this phone has internal and additional SD slot, maybe there is a way to mount internal memory too on CWM 5.0? On 4.0 i just select mount USB storage and it mounts but not on 5.0. It just says - "unable to write to ums lunfile". How do you guys mount storage to flash roms???
Also, I want to do a complete clean install on this other ROM. How can I flash everything from 100% clean??
Also, on this other ROM, the apps were being downloaded automatically from saved settings under google account. Then all of a sudden after a few apps, it just said - ERROR DOWNLOADING. No more space left or something....but I had lots of space though...whats going on here???
Please help me with this issue, I will be really thankful.

Of course i searched and still couldnt find any helpful details. This is why I posted here. Please help anyone.
I can't answer your first or third question but I'll answer the second one. In order to get a fresh install, you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe system. After that, then you can flash the ROM you want.

When you mount the phone via CWM using USB Storage or when you use a file explorer inside any ROM, you can find under /sdcard the internal memory of the phone and under /sdcard/sd_external the SD card in the phone slot (if you have one SD inserted).

Reboot on CWM with the ROM install zip in the SD card and delete /cache /data and /system, and install the ROM.
As for the other errors, I would suggest you see if the internal memory is really available or the ROM is using it for other purposes...

So i have a question, i want to flash a rom with CWM BUT i want to clear all data..i mean totaly everything, the problem with this is well i got to have the rom file on the internal card right ? is there anyway possible to have a rom file on an external SD card and then browse the external SD card with CMW to install the rom ?
Wasnt possible as far as im aware.whether cwm 5.0 fixes this im not sure would be good to know though.

alright thats what i thought, thx for confirming
your opening so many threads about this issue...
simple solution -
go into CWM and format your data, cache, system and sd-card (nothing else or you will brick your phone).
plug your phone into the pc and within cwm go to "mount and storage" and then choose "mount usb storage".
this will enable you to go into your internal sd-card from your pc.
copy your CWM zip into it and install it as you already know..
good luck!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I flashed few different ics roms, but none of them could recognize internal or external sd card, when I use file expert, it shows me sd card in 0, and I even could not open storage option in settings, it just kicked me back to the home screen. When I flashed back to 2.3.6 roms, both internal and external sd card came back. Is there anyone else has this strange problem too, and how to fix it?
Great appreciated if someone can give a little bit help!
Looks I am the only one has this problem, anyone know how to fix this?
Did you wipe when flashing?
Have you tried to format your internal storage in recovery?
May be you did something wrong? On 3 different roms have same issue, strange. After install new rom, when phone will boot for first time, go back in recovery do a factory reset. Also I suggest you to go in recovery and format you storage

The external SD is mounted under mnt/emmc in ICS.
On behalf of thbis, does anybody know how to make the music app recognize mp3s in this directory?
Small disaster. Trying to upgrade from 18/04 Hydrogen ICS to the 13/05 build. I flashed the 13/05 .zip in recovery after wiping Dalvik and Cache. Booted as normal, until I found all gapps were dud icons (I did not flash 29/04 version as I thought that I could keep my earlier version). Irritatingly, while USB Mass Storage worked correctly with my PC and I could use file explorers like ES and Astro, when I booted into recovery I could not do anything. I have a nandroid backup from 21/04 which I'd like to restore, but clicking on both 'install zip from sdcard' and 'mounts and storage' just gives an error message saying 'can't mount /sdcard'. I have no clue what to do, any help would be much appreciated...
Please help...
Seriously, does anyone know what to do? My phone is almost unusable, I can barely launch any apps. Is my question so stupid it doesn't bear replying to? Somebody please say something...

Do you actually have a microSD card? If not, use "internal SD card" options.
Also, why are you using "install zip from x" to restore a nandroid backup?

I do have a 16GB external SD. I was not trying to restore nandroid via install zip from SD, I was only saying that originally I wanted to reflash the 18/04 build, and only when I found that this didn't work did I attempt restoring my backup. sorry if this was not clear.
Thanks for the reply. I tried to find instructions for remounting my SD, but a search of this forum didn't yield anything. Perhaps this is the wrong forum

Unless I'm using the wrong method, I can't flash the 'proper way' since the install zip from SD card path doesn't display my SD. I can put the gapps and ROM on the SD via PC, but I can't access them when I disconnect.
I'm not convinced you understand that there's a difference between "install/restore from sd card" and "install/restore from internal sd card". Have you actually tried both?

I haven't, but only because I know where I keep my ROM on my external SD! I have changed ROMs at least five times before on this phone using this method and I am a veteran (if I can use such a hyperbolic term) of the MoDaCo ZTE Blade forum. I hope I know what I'm talking about. Being treated like a hopeless noob gets pretty boring after a while. Fact is, I can't access my external SD inside recovery. I get that my explanations probably don't make enough sense, but I'd like a specific suggestion to my pretty specific problem. Sorry if I come across as a little blunt, I'm just rather frustrated that I haven't found a fix in 3 days...

You hadn't given me a reason to treat you differently, and a lack of ability to do these things on your own for three days kinda goes with the assumption .

Boot your phone, copy files from microSD to internal memory, reboot to recovery, use internal SD options.
hey guys
the title of the thread sums it pretty much up.
i had cm9 on my i9300. but i was having trouble with it. when i call somebody i could hear them, but they could not hear me.
so i decided to switch to ARHD.
i followed the guide.
accidently i put super wipe and the rom in the internal sd card.
after that i did the super wipe. then, logically there was no rom in the internal section anymore.
now i cant boot. i tried to put the rom into my external sdcard but it says "E: cant mount /sdcard/
do you have any tips what i should to now?
i have no backups

Good for you mate, but next time read carfully what the developer said about installation of his OWN Rom.ok We all learn from mistakes and ur not the first or the last person to do so.
i agree to nhariamine formating the ext. SD card before using it is the first step so your phone will recognize your ext SD card.
Good mate. Did you manage to install arhd now?

yep it runs on my device now. the scrolling in the menues is really smooth but it is having laggs when i try to switch between programms.
furthermore it freezes sometimes. i cant explain why this happens.
i will go back to CM9 probably and try to flash a different modem to fix the voiceproblems.

I have read a lot of forums on this topic. I wanted to root and get cm10 and join this android community, but unfortunately I went wrong somewhere. I used CMW and got CM10 working, but for some reason, it does not recognize my sd card. I tried clearing it out, formatting through recovery, and all that did was cause me to lose all my data. I did the work around with having s-on, but can't see how that can be an issue. I can't access my ext or internal storage at all, not even through my pc, I have no aps and no ability to download apps due to google market not being install. If this has already been answered, please send me the link, because I searched most forums and none of the solutions posted has worked for me.
The only thing I can do now in terms of internal or external memory would have to be in fastboot, because even with cm10 running I can't access my internal or external memory though pc.
Does cwm recognize memory? Can you mount storage to pc using cwm? You can probably format the internal that way. You really should be using twrp, cwm causes more problems then its worth

Yes, thats what I'm currently using.
It's not all that unique btw, cwm has been corrupting memory cards and partitions practically since being ported.

i would not use that recovery if i was u.. it messes up your misc partition.. i would flash twrp 2.2.2 asap.. no one uses cwm recovery on the evo LTE.. it dont work correct on this phone boss
I managed to get twrp, but still the same issues, even twrp refuses to mount internal or external storage. I even partitioned SD, reflashed and still nothing.
It may be time to relock and run ruu
Maybe flashing a new custom ROM with twrp?
I thought you had lol. Try that and failing that I would fall back to ruu
