I accidentally formatted my g-tablet (via clockwork)...and there is no ROM to flash on the root of the tablet itself. I can still boot into recovery but I cannot flash anything since I haven't put a rom on there. Is there a way to flash from the SD card? If not, how can I get something on the tab's internal drive to flash from there? I can't access the tab's internal drive at all from my computer when I do POWER while holding VOL DOWN - I don't have the drivers and I am unable to find them (APX that is, win7 64bit).
I don't have the tablet infront of me, but you can mount your sd to usb mode, and copy a rom to it, all from clockwork. So should should be fine.
You can download the driver here:

In clockwork its something like Mounts and Storage. Go there, then mount usb at the bottom.
Now it will pop up on your computer as a removable drive just as if it was booted up. Copy your rom over and unmount, install from SD.

PERFECT! Worked! Thank you =)
So I skipped the create back up step when installing CM7 (oh boy)then one thing led to another and I'm stuck at the Motorolla Screen. No worries, I go into AndroidRecovery and plug in my phone via USB ready to upload a new ROM only to find that on My Computer I see Removable Disk (E and Removable Disk (G BOTH of which present with a "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (X." error. I can't do anything! I have no MicroSD Card. From the Mounts and Storage Menu I checked the "mount /internal" but it did nothing and the "mount USB storage" only presented with "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)! I've plugged it into three different computers with the same result, all detect the phone but cannot do anything to the internal memory. What are my options? Fastboot?
you can try an adb push or use fastboot to flash a fruitcake
I am running CM9 4.5.1 with GApps v12 on an Atrix 4G. The issue I am having is that when I connect via USB cable to my XP system, my PC detects the two sdcards (internal and external) but I can not access either one of them..."Please insert disk into drive" like they are not formatted.
I did find that the external sdcard is now being seen in the phone as folder EMMC and both of them have data so I don't think it is a format issue.
I have tried to connect via USB using the MTP and Mass Storage Option and rebooted the phone both times after the change was made. Neither attempt worked.
I have searched through the forum as best I could but with the CM9 thread pushing 1000 pages, I'm not sure if anyone has come across this. If so, what was done or are there any suggestions out there? Thanks.
Never mind, I figured it out after installing new USB drivers from Moto and trying everything else. Found out it was a simple/stupid oversight on my part. So if this happens to anyone else....
Even though I had Mass Storage enabled in the settings, when I connected the phone via USB to my XP Pro Pc, I had to pull down the notification bar, select USB storage, and turn it ON. I guess by default it is turned off. Once that was done, I am now able to access the sdcards on my PC.
I did find during all of the research and trial/error that the sdcard-ext is now the sdcard and the sdcard is now emmc in the folders. I believe there is a way to change this (xda thread) but I can live with the way it is.
Hi,
When the (HTC Desire) phone is powered up it is unable to mount the SD card, and I am unable to have it mounted from the "Settings > SD card & Storage" menu. Having said that, the micro SD card can be accessed from a computer (when plugged in directly to the computer, i.e. no issue with the card), and moreover, when I am in the recovery mode, I can have it mounted and browse it. By the way, the card could be accessed from the phone until I downgraded the O/S, and managed to have it rooted.
When the phone is running normally, and connected to the USB port of a laptop, the laptop does recognize a device connected (can even do ADB), but I believe because the SD card is not mounted, the phone does not offer the option to make the card appear as a disk drive for computer access.
I am running the original (RUU, Telstra) Android 2.2 (2.26.841.2) on a HTC desire, after I had it "S-OFF'ed". After reloading the original 2.2, I had it rooted.
The micro SD card is a 2GB one, with approx 1.5GB formatted as FAT16 (contains typical file and photos), and 0.5 GB as EXT3 (contains nothing at the moment).
HBoot: 6.93.1002
S-Off (thanks to Revolutionary)
Recovery mode: ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0 (I manually loaded it)
I have searched online for solutions, and have not been able to have it fixed. Others seem to have different issues to that of mine. Usually, they cannot mount the SD-card at all (not even from recovery), or their SD card just needed to be reformatted. I think I have indicated that these do not appear to be relevant to my issue at all. I have also tried "Fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", and it made no difference.
I look forward to your kind responses and feedback.
Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the forum.
I had the same problem once. The solution is very simple but annoying: Many Android phones are unable to mount SD cards formatted with tools like MiniTool Partition Wizard. Reformat the SD card using CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery and everything will be fine.
Good luck.
It worked

Dear friend,
Thank you so much for your simple tip. It worked! I felt so dumb for not trying it out myself. I guess I was tired of trying things without considering moving my data back and forth. Once more thank you.
AW: [Q] Phone doesn't mount SD-Card, but I can mount it in the recovery mode

Well, this IS annoying. I had the same problems and copied my data three times (~ 12 GB). So I can understand that.
Good evening,
I have also the same prroblem.
Is there any manual - instructions that I could follow in order to solve the issue with the CWM?
Thanks in advance.
Phone: Unlocked (AT&T) rooted Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 10
My phone will not recognize my 64gb external SD card. If I take it out and put it back in, it'll say "preparing SD" for about 5 seconds and then do nothing. If I try and mount it through the settings the mount sd option is greyed out. I've tried every combination of restarting and putting it back in possible.
I'm scared I might have fried it for good while messing around trying to get it to mount as a USB. Through some miraculous kludgy combination of apps and scripts, I managed to do it, but after I disconnected it from my computer the phone would not recognize it, and now my computer (a mac if that matters) won't either. The phone recognized it fine before all this.
Again, not sure exactly how I got it to mount as USB but it was some combination of these:

At this point I don't even care if it'll mount as USB, I just want my SD card back. Total noob here, please have mercy.
