[Q] CWM not detecting SD Card? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

When I reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery it doesn't give me the option of "installing zip from external SD Card", it just says "install zip from SD Card" which brings me to my internal. Any ideas?

From what I gather it is an older version and we are stuck with it for now. You'll want to copy things to flash to the phone and not the external SD card for now.

No way, I cannot wait to get an updated CWM, like I had on my SGSII!

Google SdFormatter 3.0... Download it and format the SD Card with the size option on.
Remember back up what files you have on it, they will be wiped.

external sd card not recognized

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.

Rooting nook tablet 1.4.1

Hello, I hope I am in the right thread.
Ive just purchased a nook tablet and i cannot find any instructions on how to root it...either the instructions are on another firmware, or the links provided will not work.
currently i am trying to use this thread to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
i have done this process 3 times and still no luck. will anyone please help me root my 16gb nook tablet running firmware 1.4.1?
nook root 1.4.1
i get as far ass rebooting to the "apply update .zip"
everytime i select "apply update" the nook starts the process, but then show a "installation aborted" message.
how do i fix this?
Try downloading the zip again (I actually never seemed to have an update.zip on my card) or download the zip file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035
And put it on your SD Card then flash it through CWM. That's the method that worked for me.

Yes, then just pick "Choose Zip from SD Card" and navigate to that specific zip.

ok when i do that it says:
"finding update package..."
"opening update package..."
"installing update..."
"installation aborted"
any idea what all this means?
when you say "flash" what do you mean?
i used the disk imager to enable me to get to the screen that has the option to "choose zip from sdcard"
i hope thats what you meant....stil new to this, sorry.
Are you trying flash update.zip or flash zip from sd card? They are different options from within the recovery. You want just the one that says flash zip from sd card. I'll grab my nook and get the exact wording from the cwm sd card I made if you need me to.
Even if you named the zip update.zip, I'd still use the option that let's you pick it yourself.

ok i know im doing something wrong because now the nook will not even boot into the recovery option (where i choose to intall update from dscard)
?
i think it was because i used a class 2 sdcard rather than my class 4...going to retry. will post results
well that worked like a charm, i cannot thank you enough kind sir...
before we wrap things up here, can you tell me how i can jailbreak this tablet so i can use apps i downloaded from thepiratebay?
once again, thank you so much LiquidZoo.
Dave
I don't condone piracy, and it's against the forum TOS, but you can Google it. The answer is there. It's not a jailbreak, just enabling non-play store app sources to side-load.
Glad you got root working, though.

Try booting into ClockworkMod recovery and wiping your SD card from there.
I had this exact problem at one point, and an SD card wipe via CWM was the only thing that fixed my SD card.

That's alright - you don't need to be rooted just to boot into CWM.
Give it a quick Google search, it'll be worth it, I promise.
