Hi guys,
i have flashed a few miui v4 roms and i think they have messed up my external sd card settings or something along the line.
now i'm back on a gb rom, i see the sd card when the phone is up and running but if i try to flash from cwm 4.0.1.5 it doesn't see mmy external card ?
do you guys have any idea how to sort this out ? i want to say that this sd card has always worked fine on this device, it's just now that cwm doesn't see it.
thanks
Format the card & see if the phone recognises it. If not, faulty card given you're running stock & the card should be visible to the phone/working fine if the card is good/not faulty.

Have you tried mounting it in CWM?
yes, but it doesn't even give me the option to choose zip file from eternal sd card only from internal sd card

What version CWM recovery are you on?
I meant, if you go to the Mounts and Storage menu, does it have an option for mounting or unmounting /sdcard? If so, does it say mount, or unmount? If it says mount, then you have to mount it in order to use it.
4.0.1.5 and yes there is mount, i mount it, go back to choose zip from sd card.....and there's no internal card detected....if i boot in the system i can see it with file explorer or the likes...it's just cwm not seeing it

Hmm. I've not used 4.x.x.x in quite some time.
I'm using 5.0.2.7. For me, anything that refers to "sdcard" is the external card. "internal sdcard" is the built in flash memory. And as it turns out, I didn't even have to mount /sdcard to use either.
Sorry man...
How did you get 4.0.1.5 installed? Maybe it's time to upgrade.
yes probably, how do you actually upgrade this ??

Easiest way is to flash a kernel that comes with it. I'm using Siyah. Just search for it.

so if you flash another ROM ... does it detects you SD ?

edit : i'm thinking about something...
you are using stock kernel or D4/zombiepanic ?

well, i came from stock 2.1 eclair.. rooted it, installed clockwork module, then did this:
Download GDX_XXX.zip to your sdcard storage on your Xperia X10 Mini Pro
Boot into Recovery through whatever method you choose
Back up your existing installation
Use the volume keys to select Factory Reset and push home button
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Find the GDX_XXX.zip file you downloaded earlier
Scroll through and hit Yes, install GDX_XXX.zip
Wait for the installation to finish
Select Reboot
After initial reboot, reboot a second time and you're all set.
everything is fine except that it doesnt detect sd..
i have just read that i shouldnt install the re-up version..
re up for unlocked bootloaders add modules for not unlocked ok bro pm me if your stuck try format on pc not phone kk

so now you just need to flash GDX modules if what eyama said is the truth
if it doesn't work, flash v14 and not v14 re-up

Hi
I am rooted and CWM always aborts when doing a NAND backup because it can't find android secure !
I know it should skip it but it does not.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this in cwm ?
Should I flash a different version of CWM ? If so can anyone recommend one that will work ?

Kind of running into a similar issue. When I try to do a back up in CWM, I'm getting that it can't mount backup path (but doesn't say what that path is, and I can't seem to mount sdcard in 'Mounts and Storage'). I'm going to assume this is like the SII where I need an actual ext SD card to run backups to? Can someone confirm? At work with no ext SD card.
Try reflashing ...

The latest version of CWM-Recovery should work well, on both internal and external storage. I've tested it on numerous occasions. I have the Rogers I747M, which is effectively identical to the AT&T unit.
Use this link for the correct/latest version of CWM:

If you don't have an external sdcard, then you need to choose "backup to internal sdcard".
I'm have a bit of a problem with CWM not loading external sd card.
I have been tring various roms & have now decided to go back to stock.
I have installed the latest stock UK rom & the modem & kernel & have now rooted with tool kit, latest version.
When I go in to cwm recovery it's loading the sd card, I no there is nothing wrong with the card.
How can I fix this problem?

Nope that didn't work, rebooted after install then in to recovery - only seeing internal memory - NOT sd card
I had that problem as well. I use a 64Gb formated with ExFat. What i did was as follows.
I copied all data from the sd card to a pc. Then i formated the sd Card with Exfat again on the PC and copied all data back.
After that it was working without problems again.

I shall give this a try.
In the meantime, has anyone else got a solution or reason this happened?
Don't use exFat. It's a horribly hacked filesystem with even worse implementation under Linux (read: Android) due to it's very low acceptance.
If you want something more advanced than FAT32, use the much more sophisticated and reliable NTFS (requires an aftermarket kernel) or the Linux-native EXT4 filesystem which is also used on the internal storage.
Using Fat64 is just asking for trouble

It's ok guys I have found out what the problem was & how to fix it - I can see my SD card with CWM now.
I don't think Dual booting was good enough for me, device lags a lot afterwards.
anyways I've been looking around for ways to revert back to normal booting, this could be achieved ofc by installing another Kernel, but the storage space for the second ROM is unavailable. how can I get that back? thank you.
also, I wanted to extract my nandroid from the device, but I couldn't find it anywhere except in the CWM. any help on this too?
much appreciated.
thank you.
