Can't find where ROMS on my SD Card are - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Rooted and using TWRP recovery.
I know where the ROM is on my SD Card, I just can't get to it when I'm in TWRP. I can get there using Astro so I know its there, but those folders don't show up when in TWRP it seems like. I've fiddled with it for hours and can't find it, driving me crazy.
Going to try and take my SD Card out and download the ROM directly onto my phone and see if that works.

I believe with TWRP there is a selection for "mount" which allows you to search internal or external storage. Try switching it and see if you can find the ROM that way.

You need to mount the sdcard in the options in TWRP. Once you do that you will see the files

If you put the rom directly on the phone then it should show up.

Personally I never had to mess with mount. I just used the ".." link to keep going up a level until I got to the root, then drilled down into "sdcard2" YMMV

Mounting card major issues! Please help!

Ok so I bought a new 8gb card today but it would not let me put anything on it. Started showing that mounting error that has been affecting the leaked froyo Roms. So after about 2 hours trying to get it to work I decided to install the Leaked Stock Froyo Rom instead. using Odin.bad move on my part because now after a new install. I'm getting the mounting error on my internal SD card now.wont let me transfer files or music over without that dam mounting error. Tried everything.problem is I can't get the mountingfix to flash now using Rom Manager. Wont work.think its because its for e2 recovery and I'm now using e3 recovery. Someone please help me out.I'm about to loose my mind. I'm stressed to the breaking point. I lost my dad on Tuesday night from cancer. I'm trying to take my mind off it by using my phone for music and videos.so please help me out.thanks a million friends!

I am trying to flash the mountingfix.zip file by putting it onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any fix for this issue please!

You can try pushing the file with adb and be sure of the directory, also it's case sensitive. And have you full formatted the sdcard to fat32?
I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.

Just tried reformatting it through system recovering and also the SD card setting.didn't do fat32. And why do almost all the froyo Rom's have that mounting error. Even the T-Mobile froyo Rom has that issue. And yea i was close to my dad.

How would I reformat the internal SD card with fat32? That's the one I'm having issues with.the external SD card started work.so now i just need the internal one to work!

Can't you fastboot flash the e2 recovery and try again? Or try another sdcard to see if the card is the problem or not. I know you're probably not that a rookie with this stuff but sometimes you can forget some simple solutions.

I need to get back to e2 recovery or make the internal SD card work. Any ideas. Shh driving me nuts

Any ideas please. I don't care about flashing or using other Roms. I just want this dam froyo rom to work correctly. Can't use the internal SD card to save music or anything else to it. So please help me out!

What kernel are you running? I had that same error when I ran eugene super kernel. Try a diff kernel. Also can you copy it.to your external then move it to your internal thru your phone. I had to do it that way on axura 2.1. Im sorry for loss bro. Ill keep you in my prayers.

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
I think that the problem may not be your sd. I think it's a problem with Clockwork. Check out this thread and see if it helps.
HOLY SH-T
this just happened to me too haha!
I was trying to get into ClockWork, by clicking reinstall packages, it said the same error as yours because i deleted the update.zip which you probably did...
Here's what i did to fix, on ROM Manager, i clicked INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
and the update.zip appeared on my SD and it started working again.
Sorry about your dad.
Is this going to fix my internal SD card issue? How do I fix this issue without using the mountingfix.zip? I'm now using e3 recovery not e2 so wont let me install any update.zip file. Using Rom manager. Can't get clockwork recovery to work with my Stock Leaked Froyo Rom. So how do i fix this issue. Not looking to flash a new Rom just want my internal memory card to work right! Thanks a million

[Q] Clockworkmod won't flash ROM: "can't mount emmc"

I just returned my phone to stock using ODIN and Entropy's method. I was previously running SHOStock3v.1.3.5 and was having problems creating a viable backup via CWM; not sure why, I've backed up many times before. What changed recently is that I set the default backup format to "TAR" from "DUP" as mentioned here. After that, my backups went from around 17MB to 1.6GB. At some point, possibly even with that first backup, the process would hang while generating the .md5. I left it for about 1.5 hours one time and still it wouldn't finish; I got around this by holding the power button to reboot. I reset the default format back to "DUP" and my backup size went back to about 17MB, but still wouldn't finish generating the .md5. All of these backups seemed to be causing System Media Storage some severe heartburn, filling up the internal memory. Deleting the backups solved this issue, but I was left with a phone that I could not backup.
Finally, this morning I (regrettably) used ROM Manager to try backing up, not having seen the numerous posts about never using ROM Manager. So my phone became a brick, stuck in a bootloop at the Samsung logo. So now I'm at the point where I've returned the phone to stock w/root as mentioned above. I've also reflashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxys2att.tar via ODIN. BUT, when I try to flash a new ROM I get an error message saying "E:Can't mount /emmc/".
I've looked at some similar threads like this one and this one, but they don't seem to contain the answers I need. I am about to attempt to wipe the sdcard using the dialer code *2767*3855# found in this post. Before I do that I want to verify that there isn't something less drastic that I could try first. Anybody know what's going on?
Eh sounds like you may have gotten the emmc brick.

Yuck. I did some research on that and it sounds mostly like what I've got (I have the ICS kernel - version 2.6.35.7). The difference between my situation and the one in a post I found is that my phone boots and acts normal, for the most part. I ran GotBrickbug? v1.2 and it verified that my eMMC chip is known to have the bug. I found a discussion thread for the Epic 4G on the subject which points to this fix, but it seems to be for those whose phones are really bricked... mine is not, do you have any suggestions on what I might try?
Well, the problem that caused it was in Samsung kernel source for ICS. Flash a custom kernel known not to have it and see what you get afterwards. Also, DO NOT do any memory wipes while on the stock kernel because then you will for sure get the bug, that's what causes it.

I resolved my issue, though it wasn't what I thought out was. For some reason when I selected "Choose zip from internal sdcard", CWM was trying to access the external sdcard, which I had pulled. The opposite was true as well. If my external card was in its slot I would have realized the switch around right away. My phone its back in business, I now have SHOstock3 installed and it's running just fine. Thanks for the help, really glad my emmc wasn't mangled!

Hmm, not sure why it would try and read from external. Anyway, glad you got it up and running again!

Same to my Phone
So if want to solve this problem, you must have one external SD card which conten Zip file. Right?

Not necessarily. You can put the zip file on the internal card, then you have to choose external card from within CWM. You may have to have an external card installed for that option to show up though. Or, if you put the zip on the external card, then you choose internal in CWM.

Stuck in constant bootloop

I need help. The nook is stuck in boot loop. Can someone give nee simple instructions to go back to stock? Or anything to make the device operable? I'm a noob so the easier the better for me. Thank you very much if anyone might help. I can't get into cwm by connecting to computer or pressing power volume or the n. Help please

Can your nook boot from SD card at all? If so use the repart.img from the stock1.4.2 file on the raywaldo site.

If the sd card is in I can get to cwm. But there it's no more space on the card to put a Rom. It seems like the nook os is missing.

Once you boot into cwm, you can remove sdcard and put another one with zip file.
Cwm runs in ram.

Do you have a working sd card. TWRP will see external as well as internal storage. Place sd card into computer , download rom onto card, place back into your galaxy then boot back into recovery and flash from sd card.

If you have a rom in your computer you can adb sideload from recovery and will flash.

may have screwed myself (s4) just now..

went to flash a new rom and was running low on storage space so i went into twrp and wiped everything including sd card and internal. So the catch is i had the new rom i was going to flash on my external. now im pretty sure if i exit twrp there will be nothing for the phone to boot on too.. and i have no way of putting anything on my sd card..
what can i do?
Use adb and a computer to push the file onto your phone. There should be a setting in TWRP to allow the phone to be seen by adb.

A usb card reader could help. Or find a friend with a phone that takes sd cards.

This is definitely the next best option if you're not comfortable with adb.
