Isn't it possible to browse the external SD card from a PC (connected USB) while the phone is in Recovery mode?
When I mount /sdcard via CWM and connect my PC, I get a "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box on my PC. I have the Samsung drivers installed and they work properly when the phone is booted but when I enter Recovery mode via CWM, my PC starts asking about installation CDs...
I also tried mounting the USB storage but I get "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I never came across that option in cwm, and coming from among ra it was disappointing.

I never got any form of mounting working in CWM.
TWRP on the other hand works like a champ.
Even without USB mounting, TWRP beats CWM for me.
I also could never get my phone to mount correctly in CWM recovery. Tried USB, sd card, and emmc in every combination. Most likely this is why you never got a response because nobody has it working.

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:
developer.download.nvidia.com/tegra/files/android_tegra_froyo_20101105.msi
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 =)
I inherited a T959 that I cant get to unbrick. It boots to splash ("Overstock", whatever that is...) and hangs. I can get to recovery (CWM 2.5.1.3 w/ voodoo lagfix) and I can get it into download mode from there. I cant get ADB to find device, I cant get it to show up on ODIN (3 v1.0 or v1.7), and I cant see sdcard in CWM recovery. Any ideas?
Setup:
Windows 7x64
Latest USB drivers.
What drivers do you have installed? Have you tried a different cable?
Funny thing, I read a few posts about bad USB cables but thought "naw, that can't be it". Turns out it is.
I still cant get the SD card to read from CWM, but I will ODIN it back to factory and see what I can do. Thanks.
You can mount the internal or external sd card trough cwm and coppy your files, or what ever rom you wanna flash, you just gotta have the right drivers and then go into (mounf and storage) then mount your sd card or internal storage...
Got it all up and running. Thanks.
Hey,
I've flashed Omega 33.2 and Siyah 1.8 kernel.
I used 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery (didn't change the recovery, just flashed Omega and right after Siyah).
I then flashed something from Omega kitchen that I guess made some problems with the ROM, so I got in a bootloop. Not a problem - I will just flash the rom again and everything will be ok, but unfortunately I deleted the rom from my phone memory. In those situations I just go inside recovery and mount the sdcard, so I went into mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, I connected to my computer (windows 7) but nothing happened. So I tried to install kies, but it didn't help too. I also tried the same in Ubuntu (maybe it's mass storage and not MTP because from what I know linux doesn't support MTP), but it didn't worked.
I end up taking my external sd card, putting the rom on it, and flashed the zip from the external sd card.
I don't want to do it every time I want to put something in my phone through recovery. How can I fix this problem? (Yes, I tried more than one USB slot and cable).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.
Tried TWRP, CWM touch 6, but it didn't work. I tried to mount external sd card and it didn't work also. Tried windows7, ubuntu (I think it's mass storage so it should work), and another computer with windows7, but didn't work in neither of them.
Also, tried 'adb devices' when the phone is plugged in in recovery and it didn't see the device too. Does adb suppose to work when I'm in recovery? (I'm developing Android apps so I'm sure that adb is 100% working when the phone is on).
In CWM 6, I press mount /sdcard and after I press the text is still mount /sdcard (doesn't change to unmount), and when I press mount /ex-sdcard it change to unmount /ex-sdcard but doesn't appear on the computer also.
Does anybody else is facing the same problem? very annoying :S
Nobody faces this problem too..? :/
same issue here!!! trying to get some help as I don't have an SD card available right now
I've recently flashed my phone with Nemesis kernel using Flashtool, and installed "MoonBreaker 3.5". Unfortunately it is horribly, horribly broken so I have tried to do a full wipe and reinstall. This also failed to work, and somehow wiped my internal storage, so now I have no kernels or roms available on this phone.
The phone boots, but the market doesn't work, downloads app doesn't work, there is no file explorer and no network connection. The phone will not mount as usb storage when booted, or when in CWM recovery. When booted it gives me an "MTP USB Device - Failed" message after attempting to install drivers (win7 and winxp). When in CWM it does nothing at all.
Therefore my question is, how on earth do I get files onto my phone now?

What model of phone do you have? I had the same problem with the Sola (I insanely forgot copy .zip on sdcard before flashing bootloader) and i solved copying the archive on external SD then with CWM selecting Install zip from external sd. Of course this method is not valid if you have Xperia U. In this case or in another case where you haven't any external SD slot try reading this guide.
I have an Xperia P, sorry the forum denied my edit for some reason. Thanks for your ideas!
I've had some success booting into fastboot then, while it's connected, switching to flash mode. Stock kernel reinstalled! Thanks for your help!!

Hello,
Last week I decided to update my old rooted 4.1.2 for a brand new 4.4.4 ROM you can see in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...29-9-2014-official-stock-rom-testing-t2890734
It went quite well, I used PhilZ 6.48.4 to install the zip file. For not very rational reasons I wanted to do it a second time to make it "perfect"; I did go on PhilZ to wipe all my data like the other time, I verified if "mount USB storage" worked before doing so, it did as in ADB my phone was detected....problem is after formating my phone storage on Philz, strangely I can't connect my phone to my PC anymore. It just says on my computer (Windows 8.1) "USB device got a problem", ADB doesn't detect it anymore, same for ODIN, smells bad lol.
So I wondered if you can use an external SD Card on Philz, in order to put the ROM zip file on this external SD Card and bring back my phone from the dead with it??
I precise that my phone isn't Hard Bricked, I can't start it anymore coz I formatted all, but I can still access to a fully working PhilZ Touch interface...aside that my dumb PC won't recognize my phone again
Thank you for you future help
In Philz when you mount USB storage from "Mounts and Storage" it mounts your external SD.
Great so there is a way out of this! I'll try it out by buying a micro SD card
