So I just update to ICS and tried to root it. I was able to flash the touch clockwork recovery okay but have been unable to mount the internal SD card. So I tried AMON RA recovery same problem I was unable to mount the SD card. So I went to the develper menu and from there they have an option to insatall super user. I did and am able to open the super user but it does not give me root access when the prompt is suppose to pop up nothing comes up. I also tried to set auto respose to allow still nothing. Any help in the matter would be appreciate. I really want all this G-d damn bloat frozen...
UPDATE: I have been able to mount an external SD card with clockworkmod touch. Now running fully rooted! Cant wait to freeze all the stupid apps...
try this superuser from the google play http://goo.gl/oDB2s

I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Totally of the topic BUT I'm Selling a fully rooted Droid Eris running CM7 port ROM for $90...interested PM me.
Trying to root my cousins Vibrant. It's rooted, and i flashed CWM from Rom manager, but for some reason on the computer it doesn't show the root of the sd card, no android related junk, and then when I try and flash a custom rom it doesn't show the zips on cwm and if i click /sd it errors and goes back.
Edit: nevermind, figured out when it's in mass storage it shows two different ones.
So i have a problem putting cm7 on my nt when i goto revery flash and press flash cwm it says"Could not flash recovery java.io.IOExeption:Error running exec(.)command.[su] working directory null environment:null"what do i do to fix this do i need to reroot my nt?
It's worth a try to re-root. I don't believe I've ever seen that error before. You have the 16GB NT, correct?
Yes i have a 16gb NT
I'm just throwing out a wild guess, but it looks like you don't have superuser on the device at all, which means it's prob a stock device and haven't rooted before. Am I correct on that? I did a double take, and noticed that you rooted the device before..did the nook update itself? Do you still have root access?
If you have an sd card, you can write the sd card to boot CWM (found here) and install CM7 from there, or else you have root the device to get CWM on it and then install cm7 that way
I do have super user and have rooted my NT
If you can get to your app manager, either through hidden settings app or es file explorer, try clearing data on superuser
just tried that now it wont open recovery flasher and now it wont mount to my computer
I just installed the newest CWM through the phone emulator. Recovery says that it is the latest version as I installed, but it is not able to access the external SD card anymore? Or sorta, cause I can see of the things there, but if I pick external sd card it says file not found. Not sure what happened. I have tried to unmount and remount sd card. Any ideas?

I noticed the same thing. I'm going back to RA.
I have installed CWM 5.8.4.8 using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639673
Had originally installed CWM using this method:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-on-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-belltelusrogers/
So is it possible that I didnt update CWM correctly or is it the version that has these issues?
Suggest you revert to the CWM image found in the "note everything" thread, and flash via Odin...
Bigjoe has it nailed down tight....then stick with the version..
the card read issue is not found in the original CWM version....so stay with it....IMHO
Ok I used Odin again to install CWM through it and is working again. Is there a way to update CWM through odin?
The "older version" works the same as the later (better actually) so later isn't an improvement. Like gregsarg said, stick with the version you have.
Hi,
I have not long bought my first tablet - its an ly-f1 / alldro speed etc clone. It came with android 4.0.4 and was already rooted. Play store access isn't bad for standard, i have found most things i have looked for, although some say device is not compatible - for example the speedtest.net app and itv player. There's some it cant find either like grand theft auto 3 for example.
The performance for the tablet is ok but i understand a custom rom could improve it and also give better play store access/compatibility. So i started looking at what roms were available, i found troys CM9 and CM10, so wanted to try CM9 first. This is where i started running into problems. Mainly finding everything i needed - CMW, ADB drivers etc.. oh and mounting the sdcard! as below..
I managed to find CMW 6 for the ly-f1, which i copied across onto the tablet and ran using a shell to install it. I copied across the CM9, compatibility and gapps zip files to the internal sdcard. So far so good, however......
when i rebooted into CMW and went to "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from internal sdcard" it comes up saying "cant mount /emmc/"
If i try "choose zip from sdcard" rather than internal sdcard, it says "cant mount /sdcard" - to be expected as i dont have one in it! but i cant figure out why the internal one doesn't work and the whole thing is doing my head in! so need help!
When the tablet is on i can get into the internal sdcard fine and if i connect it to the pc i can see it fine. I've looked around google and the forums and tried a few various things with no joy - for example i tried copying everything off the internal sdcard and formatting it - done this through the android setttings and through windows - both fat32 and ntfs just to see, none made any difference.
I then thought i'd try find another version of CMW in case it was that, i found a version 5 which is when i required the ADB drivers as it was a different method for installing it - got it installed and it rebooted into CMW but i had the exact same problem, still cant mount it, so i am still unable to flash to a new rom.
Am i missing something?? I am quite new to all this so not sure if i need to do anything else first or for this to work such as new kernels or something? Is there another method i can use to flash the device? I know theres livesuite but not sure if this is suitable for CM9 since theres 3 zips that need installed? i cant understand why it cant mount the internal sdcard, any ideas??
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks

Can anyone please help? I want to flash CM9 or CM10 as above.
I found a version 5 and 6 of cwm for the ly-f1/clones and installed it, can reboot into recovery but everytime i go to install zip from sdcard it says it cant mount it.
What is the best version of cwm to use and where can i get it? I take it there is no other method to install CM9/10, it must be done using cwm? Do i need to do anything other than simply having a rooted device and installing cwm to get it all to work?
any help much appreciated!
