I'm running icScrewed with the stock siyah kernel but when I try and get some cwm restore or backups going, it seems as if it can't mount /sdcard. Anyone know how to fix this?

Are you using the internal sdcard option? sometimes for me in flipflops I can use the normal sdcard option to access the internal sdcard and sometimes I have to use the internal sdcard options. I don't have an external card yet but over all I haven't had an issue mounting least the internal one in cwr.
me too
just flashed to ICScrewd and now I can't access my nandroid backups. CWM does read the contents of /sdcard when you selected "internal" sd but that's not useful for restoring nandroid backup....
edit: didn't see the "restore from internal sdcard".... duh

Got a warranty replacement phone from ATT today and need to install CWM 5.0.2.7. Running UnNamed and have a CWM backup but I cannot use version 5.0.2.3 to restore. I can't for the life of me find a download link for 5.0.2.7. Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Entropy or Siyah's kernel, they have the latest.

thanks! One more thing, how do I flash the zImage? I know I can't through odin.

You can use Mobile Odin if you just want to grab the zImage.
Though you should just use the CWM Zips that are posted in either thread.

Did your old phone go back completely factory? (Binary counter) If not, samsung has a nasty habit of sending you a 600 dollar bill for your replacement phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yes, this is my 3rd S2 replaced under warranty. I made a jig a while back, much easier to reset the counter.
Now I am having a bit of another issue. I flashed CWM using Entrophys version. All went well, I was able to flash UnNamed without a problem. From my old phone I transferred over my SD Card which has the latest CWM backup. When I go to restore it will not read my SD Card. If I let the phone boot up into the system the phone reads it fine. I've tried mounting it manually in CWM but it won't take. Not sure why this won't work especially since UnNamed is based off Entrophys build.

Did you use the absolute latest version? If you used 2/28 - the changelog is VERY important.

Yes I did get the latest version. I think I just figured it out, although I am not sure how to go about fixing it. In trying to fix the issue I used ADB to flash CWM to the phone. When I was typing the path to flash the kernel it said it the path didn't exist. Odd. Turns out the path was /sdcard/external_sd/. Once I put that path in all was good. Still when I go to restore I cannot get it to read or mount the sd card. Looking at my old phone CWM was reading my internal storage as the sd card and not using the external sd card to backup. I am not sure how this happened. Of course I can move the backup file to the internal memory of the new phone and do a restore but how do you change the path to the sd card so its not reading internal memory as the sd card?

In CWM prior to 2/28, the external SD was /emmc, not /sdcard/external_sd
After 2/28 - internal is /emmc and external is /sdcard (swapped)

Is there a way to change that path? On my new phone it is still reading internal memory as the external source. Its almost like the internal memory path is reading /sdcard. It works now but this is driving me nuts...

This is the way it works:
When running normally in TW firmware:
Internal is /sdcard, external is /sdcard/external_sd - These aren't relevant as far as restoring nandroid backups
Old CWM:
Internal is /sdcard, external is /emmc
New CWM (following the standard):
Internal is /emmc, external is /sdcard
So something you backed up to /sdcard before will now be /emmc - and CWM 5.0.2.8 fixed advanced restore from the internal (previously external) SD. Normal restore from both locations has worked for 2-3 months.

Hey,
Just flashed the latest SHOstock ICS build, and I wanted to make a nandroid backup of it. I loaded up CWM, and tried to hit backup, but after a second, it gave me E: can't mount /sdcard.
I've tried to restart multiple times, but nothing. The same error. Can't loaf nandroids either. Any way to fix this aside from reflashing with Odin?
IN CWM try to mount the sd card manually in i think "mounts and storage" tab or something that looks like that
Sorry, should have mentioned. I tried that. Didn't work.

I have the same issue, and I have an SD card in my device. (I just resorted to using internal storage) on 5.0.x and 5.5.x. It has to do with the directories changing from /sdcard to /emmc, or am I talking about a completely different already known issue?

If you don't... There's a reason CWM has options for backing up to "internal" SDCard...
I had the same problem backed up to internal and then moved it to external. worked like a champ.

I didn't realize it changed. Before flashing SHOStock2 I was able to normally do a nandroid backup and restore without the internal option.
Well, thanks for the help.

I made a point of making the partition tables consistent with the text in CWM - instead of internal/external being swapped as they are in many CWM implementations.
How do I do this? Is it possible? I've done quite a few backups because I've been swtiching between ROM's and my Internal is running low on memory. I'm using ROM Manager Premium v5.0.2.0
Edit: I know I can do this if I manually go into CWM

On the latest version of CWM, there is the option to save to internal or external SD card once you have created, or accepted, the name of the file names backup.
Tip: Always save your backups to your external SD card in case of problems you may encounter with flashing.
You can choose in cwm backup/restore menu : backup internal sd.
or make a backup in external, then copy paste the clockworkmod dir in internal sd
Can you please mount external sdcard instead of internal one.
/etc/fstab:
Code:
PHP:
#/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard vfat rw
Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd don't know if that's the case with version you use though.....
A quick question: I have 3 nandroid backups made by CWM in INTERNAL sd card. I know that the amound of free space IS reduced (ES Explorer. Android storage and Windows tell me so). Still, the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder contains only a nandroid I have done of the stock ROM before I started flashing... the other nandroids are invisible. I 've even connected the phone in windows and tried to search for .md5 files.... only got the one concerning my old stock ROM backup. Where does the CWM save its' backup files? Should I format the internal card?
clockworkmod/blobs
Ok this is becoming weirder and weirder by the second. So, I had a nice backup of stock ROM (which yielded the amazing: "Your device is modified, no software updates available" har har har). So I fire up "My Files". And lo and behold, in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups, the three backups I have done are visible. This sounds.... fishy. To say the least. And of course, now they are visible in Windows Explorer too. Ok, now I am kinda scared ****less.
Hi guys,
I own a S3 and for one year I just dealed with the stock ROM, just root access. Saturday I decided to enter the modding world but I knew it would bring a lot of troubles...
I did a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 stock FW just before the flashing, but no way it restores, after an hour of processing it shows - Error restoring data! - it boots but it's a total mess. I even restored the original stock FW with triangle away, wipe all and double ODIN flash and then reflashing the clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup again but nope, won't work.
Luckily I did a full backup with Titanium backup prior, the real trouble is with ES file explorer: I did copy/paste of the entire internal storage to the external microsd but for some reasons it stopped at "D", "Downloads" folder... I lost everything else and I realized this only AFTER wiping and flashing, of course...
I'm trying to recover the files with Hexamob, hope this will work....
I have this two questions:
Does Nandroid work only with backup < 2.5 Gb? Mine is 4.5 Gb...
Does Nandroid backup the internal storage, too??
Thank you all guys

If I am not wrong, Nandroid does a backup of your phone (system, data etc) so that when you restore it, you got anything like it was. It does not backup the SD card though. In addition backups of over 2.5gb should work.
/data is the internal memory? Or is it /sdcard?

its all the internal memory.
/system
/data
/cache
...are all on the emmc memory and are backed up in a nandroid backup.
/sdcard is actually a mount of /data/media, however this is ignored by nandroid backups for obvious reasons

So /sdcard is the external microsd? And /data is the internal memory (I mean what you see when connecting phone to PC, Internal memory and external sd)?
If nandroid backed up internal memory would be great, may be there's some way to recover datas from backup files (unyaffs won't work, Titanium Backup just shows apps and their datas).
I'll do some further research.
no. sdcard is the internal SD, which is just a link to /data/media. to backup it, use copy and paste. no, it's not possible to recover internal SD data from a nandroid backup
Be aware that Nandroid does not backup your EFS .
jje
it can. depends on the recovery
Yep i know problem is that some think any recovery backs up EFS .
Wrong recovery no EFS backup .
We desperately need some stickied faqs and guides on this forum .

/sdcard is the "internal sd"
/extSdCard is the "external sd"
/data is something different that just so happens to be the home of /sdcard
As I feared, no internal storage backup in Nandroid. But what makes me more angry is that s****y ES file explorer so crappy it can't even perform a simple task like copy-paste. If that worked I wouldn't have lost anything. :crying:
Not to mention the useless nandroid... doesn't work either.
However I did manually backed up the EFS folder, but I don't really think it matters in this case.
If your /sdcard was 90% full, where would the nandroid go? External obviously? But recovery devs cannot assume that everyone has an external sd card with enough free space to store a 15 GB backup.

Just clarifying
Hey guys, this is my first ever post on xda!
Just to clarify, a nandroid backup will only backup device root files, and not the (internal) sdcard, nor the extsdcard files, from my understanding of this thread. So to do a complete backup of ALL phone data, I should perform the nandroid backup to extsdcard, and then simply copy (internal)sdcard and extsdcard to my computer for safe keeping?
Thank you!

Topic sums it up nicely, basically, I am at the recovery menu, but my ext SD card is not mounting. I stored my backups and the new ROM on it and am unable to use the phone atm cause, well....bootloop. I forgot to backup my data before wiping, so what should I do now? Currently using CWM 6.0.1.2, and I can still access the Recovery Menu.
