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:

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 all,
I've been flashing Villain ROMs on my SGS2 since I got it a couple of months back but today I have come to flash the latest and found that CWM Recovery can no longer browse to the External_SD folder, it's there and I can select but it just refreshes the directory listing and doesn't take me into it.
Never had this before so I'm a bit stumped? While flashing (using the internal memory) I've seen messages in CWM mentioning that it can't read EXT-SD, seems its lost sight of it?
The SD works just fine once the phone is running though, can browse and copy to it quite happily.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Russ
Maybe i missed it but i have never seen CWM with external SD card .

Strange, it's certainly been working on mine, force of habit I always copy my ROMs to the external SD (as my Desire etc. didn't have internal) and I carried on doing so on my SGS2
External sd is not accessible in cwm on my phone

Same here, it's driving me mental... CWM shows it in the directory list but if I try to select it it just refreshes the list.
Edit : External_SD is actually a folder on the internal storage. I found this by connecting to my laptop and looking at Drive G, which is the internal. I found the External_SD folder and made a new folder called 'test' inside it. I then booted into CWM, browsed to the folder listing and opened External_SD and there was my 'test' folder... I have no idea how you access the external from CWM.
I have double checked no external sd card on CWM for me .
So exactly where was the setting on yours .

You're really starting to make me doubt my sanity now, due to your comments I am now down to 90% sure that I used to save things to the external sd and flash from there, I mean I've flashed every VillainROM for the SGS2 going and yesterday was the first day I had an issue.
Could it be a radio or kernal issue?
I was coming from XXKG3 and Ninphetamine 2.0.2. Maybe the previous to those allowed it but doesn't since their release?
No ext sd here. Cwm won't enter etx folder for me

Nope its either on CWM or you am dreamin our kid .

Anybody running the CF-Root kernel still? Up until recently I was but am now using Ninphetamine, could be kernel related?
Nope ran all and ever ever seen external sd card on CWM .
jje
When you say that do you mean you've never seen a folder called external_sd when browsing or it just didn't go anywhere?
I'm in the same boat. I used to copy all new roms and .apk to my external and flash them through cwm but since using Ninphetamine I can choose external sd but it seems to be empty. Not a big deal just created a new folder on internal memory but it would be nice to be able to back up the external again.
Same here. CWM stopped reading my extermal SD at some point. I used to copy the ROM zip file there and flash it from there. Suddenly I cannot do it anymore??

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:
Hey all,
I was just wondering whether there is a fix for such error running on the latest MIUI build from their website. Whenever I turn on my phone, I would receive this message saying Preparing SD card, then it would jump into SD Card Safe to Remove. The phone cannot mount the SD card manually from Settings as the same thing will happen again. I am sure the memory card is not corrupt as both the internal SD card (16gb) and my external SD card (32gb) are both recognized in CWM recovery, although when selecting install from internal SDcard from recovery, it goes into the external.
Hope someone knows how to resolve this issue!
Thanks,
Nicholas

If you got the rom from their site then your best bet would be to ask on their site. No MIUI development is done here. Only translations

mmmm alright thanks (Y)
But just for other people, they released a fixed version of the ROM on the MIUI main site, not the MIUI.us site, that fixed my problem

I've got the same problem... Could you give me the link of that fix? It'll be helpful. Thanks
download the most updated rom from miuiandroid.com, then complete wipe your phone and install the new rom you just downloaded

Before I ever started flashing kernels or ROMs my GS2 sees my internal card as the SD Micro card and my SD Card as the internal card?? Anyone else have this or know why this is??
Example, just now I went into CWM to update my SHOstock ROM and had to choose internal card for it to see the update even though I put the update on the SD Card..
same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed my gs2 for the first time. i thought at first i accidentally loaded the zip onto my internal sd accidentally but i double checked and it was definitely on the external sd.
That's just the way it works on Entropy's kernel. I believe it even says so in his thread.

Yup. Someone didn't read the Changelog.
Cyanogenmod labels their partitions differently than Samsung-derived ROMs (Samsungs don't follow the current Android standard).
Right now the CWM binary in Daily Driver is pulled straight from CM7, so I haven't had a chance to recompile and label the external SD as external instead of internal

Hey guys. How do I make the external SD card the default location to where my data goes. I bought 9 MM And it required a full gig of data and it all went on my internal storage

No clue - turns out that what the OP was talking about was how CWM reports internal vs. external.
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
