Hi I had to post in here as I can't post in the development forums.
Anyway I'm using a checkrom revo (darknight) and when I install something from kitchen pro when it reboots into cwm I get a message along the lines of
CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7
Waiting for sd card to mount (20s)
Sd card mounted...
verifying sd card marker...
Sd card marker not found...
Checking internal sd card marker...
I've noticed it does this when using cwm 5.0.2.7 but not earlier versions.
Is there something wrong with my phone, is it cwm?
The package installs but I get the error beforehand
Thanks
I now have this issue.
Wondering if you were ever able to fix this? and if so how. Thanks

darn, you bumped a very old thread xD
anyway, did you try flashing another Kernel? you can find the kernels here
i hope this helps! cheers
Better than starting a new thread?
Here it is what I have done so far using Siyah Kernal:
For some reason when I try to do a backup from CWM (onto the external sd card) I get the error "sd card marker not found" it then goes to the internal sd card and makes a backup file there but it does not work when I try to restore from that file.
If I go into recovery mode and do a back up to external card from there it indicates on the screen that it is saving it to the external sd card but it actually saves it to the internal sd card??
I have reflashed the kernal several times (4.1.5) reflashed 4.1.1, even tried a different kernal but no luck. Tried the kernal cleaning script and then reflashed the kernal no luck. Reformatted the sd card, no luck. Installed original rom via odin, then rooted then reflashed rom still no luck.
Thanks for noticing. :highfive:

Hi all. Used the search tool but couldn't find nothing similar.
My ATRIX is unlocked, rooted, running stock gingerbread. I used the automatic script for unlocking bootloader and rooting. I guess it installed Tenfar's recovery too. I installed Rom Manager some time ago, and today I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0. So I wanted to switch to romracer's in order to install a custom rom (maybe neutrino or wet dream, something with hdmi landscape =).
I was trying to instal romracer's recovery this morning. I'd put the .zip on my ext sdcard, but when I tried to use the "Install fom SD card" in RomManager, all I could see was the internal storage files. So I went ahead and transferred the .zip to internal storage root. Used Install from SD card again, selected the .zip. The phone rebooted, got into recovery mode.
That's when the problem came. It keeps waiting for SD card to mount, and then times out (20s). Is this sdcard trying to mount the EXT microSD? Why he needs it, since the .zip is in internal storage?
Any ideas on how to solve this? Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you very much. sorry providing so much information, thought it could be useful.
edit: additional information: I can see and use the external sd card on the phone normally. Can acces it via USB too, no problem.
Where exactly are you stuck? You say you managed to flash a zip and then rebooted the phone, right? So where are you now?
What filesystem is your SD card formatted in?
Boot to fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot.

When it reboots and automatically enters recovery, it says it cannot mount the SD card. So it doesn't actually flashes the zip, I guess. I'm where I begun.
Windows says its "FAT". Not FAT32, just FAT. Its a small (512mb) microsd card from my old phone. Should I format it? Maybe its just too small to use in this phone?
Thanks for your reply.

will try that later. thanks.
no clue about what was happening to my sdcard?
I thought it might've been a fs issue - I had something similar recently, but it does seem more like your recovery is borked!
As that guy up there ^ said, flashing over the recovery may do the trick
dumb question: im planning to flash a custom rom. Done with unlocking and rooting and i have cwm. Should I need an external sd card? Or is it fine to put the zipped rom in the internal sd card?

You don't need to have an external sd. You can flash with your phone's sd.
I would use an SD card, every rom i flashed has been installed from sd card

Use "install zip from sd card" instead of "update zip". Don't remember the exact words.

it might help to know exactly what steps you're taking when 'flashing', from installing the rom on the phone to your 'flashing' steps.
install zip from sdcard / choose zip from sd card (& or internal sdcard) / sdcard / olympus_gold_edition_USversion.zip (and AOKP)
I have a samsung epic 4g and flashing on there became second nature to me which is why I dont understand what is going on here. I have everything that I need to run custom roms but it just wants to be stubborn

if you read his instructions he specified that you need to place it as a backup and restore to that rom
Yup i think its a backup not a flashable zip

Try installing from internal SD. Perhaps your external SD is messed up or slow......
Atrix Head
haha thank you guys. it was still a zip file when i was trying to restore it xp
hey all, noticed an issue where i can not access the external sd card with the clockwork mod recovery. i am coming form and inc2 and this was never a problem. am i doing something wrong?? it seems if i want to install anything, rom, .zip, etc. i have to copy it to the internal memory as the external sd card is not shown by the recovery.
thanks

There is a nuclear bomb headed for your house. :good:
Thread moved
Questions never belong in Development. Ever.
Seems the newest update to the recovery does this by default I don't like the idea of keeping downloads in the internal memory so I reverted back to the original 5.8.4.5 cwm recovery. Good luck!

Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

Your awesome =P
Okay, so I'm currently on the SnowJB ROM and that ROM can access my SD card. But I want to go back to the Nocturnal ROM(I'm kind of torn between the two ROMS). Only problem is Nocturnal cannot mount the SD card. I tried both version 1.5 and 1.3 and neither of them work. I went into the settings and clicked "Mount SD card" but I get a notification telling me that it's safe to remove my SD care(Unmounted)
And I also tried to install the Slick ROM and that couldn't read the SD card either. So I restored my SnowJB ROM and it can read it. So I'm totally clueless on this. SnowJB is the only ROM that can mount the SD card... Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Any help at all would be much appreciated.
How is it formatted? Did you format it in the snowjb ROM?

I don't remember doing anything to it while I was on SnowJB. It just... Worked. It was formatted in the FAT32 format. Now formatting it using exFAT. Doubt it'll work, but it's worth the shot. Just got done trying the Stock AT&T rom(with root) and that wouldn't recognize the SD card either.

Fixed it... It was a pain though. Had to use the LGNPST thing to return my phone to factory settings(no root/locked bootloader) then had to re-root.
