Hello,
I use Rom manager and iI installed CWM Touch.
Everything is fine until i try to mount my USB.
i get: "unable to open ims lunfile" and so I CANNOT MOUNT THE USB. what can be done?
The steps were:
adb reboot recovery
factory reset
clear dalvik cache
mount usb
Then the error appears.
I can still use the CWM Touch but if i cannot mount my usb... It's not good for me.
Does anyone have this problem?

Flash 4ext recovery instead of clockworkmod. Go to play store and search 4ext, or google.
Touch version cwm isn't fully supported from what I understand. 4 ext recovery touch to save the day.

but the principles are the same? i'm used to CWM recovery tools (old versions) and i thought the "touch" one was good for me. i was wrong.
at least it was just USD2.
i do not need touch recovery. i will flash the old CWM back. if i can find it. or if i can do it... i'm not a big android specialist.
Only the cwm from revolutionary 4.0.1.4 supports charging while off.
It's as easy as downloading an app from the store, or internet, then select your phone type, let it do its magic.
4ext recovery is just like cwm, except less errors on installing some roms, beautiful all touch recovery. Setup with the same menu type items, and fully supports charging the phone while its off.
You won't miss mashing the volume rockers to select things in recovery, I promise, lol.
tommorow i will visit my bank and add some cash to my account (my card) in order to pay for 4EXT.
will give it a try. meanwhile... i lost 2 dollars by buying the CWM touch.

The 4ext recovery control app is like the pro edition of Rom manager. It's an app that automates what you do in recovery while running your phone normal.
The actual 4ext recovery is FREE. Linked here. http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
well... i found some cash on my bank accounts and purchased 4EXT Recovery Control.
then... if i click recovery i must install 4ext recovery. if i click ok i get to a server i download a ZIP file.
how can i install the zip file?
what will it happen with my current CWM?
i knew i had to stick with my CWM.
i'm so sad...

You can only have one recovery on your phone, TWRP, CWM, or 4Ext.
So either flash the zip file in cwm recovery, or if you have adb, extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash with fastboot.
I clicked some clicks... And now if i boot into recovery it starts with 4ext touch.

Just read what it says if your s-on or s off, regarding smartflash. Turn it off if your s off, on if you're s on. Can be found in the settings under recovery, or from your 4ext recovery control app you bought.
Only recommendation I can make is converting the system/data and other partition to ext4 format. All old cwm backups should restore, just to be safe, make a backup in your new recovery.
There are themes for the recovery too, check out the control app.
And how can i format my sd card to ext4. How can i find what format is it now?

In recovery, go under tools. Then you can format and check partition alignment for internal system/data to, from ext3 --ext4.
If your referring to partitioning sd card with an ext4 partition for a2sd. Tools, partition sd card. It will ask you for swap and other options like cwm.
Keep in mind it might erase the sd card contents, even though it has an option to not erase, better safe then sorry.
i have nothing interesting on my sd card

Panasonic sd formatter worked for me

Sd ext might need some custom configuring on roms, I do not use it anymore.
Google search of adding sd ext partition or a2sd to roms might help

Hi,
I S-OFF ed my HTC Flyer succesfully today. But there seems to be something wrong on my device, as when I do a full backup of my device CWM cannot access my SD-Card.
Also when I try to install a custom .zip I cannot access the sdcard.
I noted that some new folders have been created on "/mnt/scard", called "ext_sd", with these subdirs:
- clockworkmod
- data
- LOST.dir
this is the only directory I can access using CWM.
Any idea about what went wrong?
Thanks!
Did actually put it on SD card not internal storage... ie you inserted a SD card into your flyer?
Cwm needs editing so we can access internal storage will have a look at it today.

Yes, I have a SD card in my flyer.
Ok, that's where my problems come from now. I also cannot install a custom .zip.
I tried to permanent root it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193885
It says install went all fine, but SU is not installed, and cannot run apps that need a rooted device (like titanium backup).
--> Is there a way I can reinstall CWM now?
Should it work if I just put the sdcard out of the flyer and then reinstall CWM manually using the fastboot methode? (fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img)?
Yes that would work for really flashing cwm then reflash the su zip

What I have done:
- removed SD Card
- rebooted into fastboot
- installed CWM without the SD Card in the Flyer
- rebooted
- deleted "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/ *.*"
The folder "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/" can't be deleted, all files in there have been.
How comes?
- rebooted into CWM
- flashed su.zip (went fine without errors)
- rebooted
--> Device is still not rooted!
Any idea?
I have reflashed CWM, but have still the same problems/symptoms.
--> CWM not able to access the SD-card.
Any idea?
I noticed also that when I try to do a Backup with CWM it says: "SD Card space free: 15262MB", which is not true, as this is the size of the SD Card. On the card there is only about 5 GB free.
When doing a full backup I get these messages:
Backing up data...
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backup up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Please help me to get this fixxed.

I know this was a problem with android_secure not being recognized correctly on the Evo 3D. I have a feeling that updates will eventually fix this. Also you don't have an sd-ext yet as of now it is not supported in ay roms for any new device.
Post in the correct thread next time... Q&A.

I'm embarrassed to ask such a stupid question, but I've been digging around for hours and couldn't find an answer. Using TWRP, I was attempting to flash MeanROM. I placed the ROM in my Dropbox and downloaded it to my phone using the default browser. Booted into recovery and began to follow the steps. I created a backup, did my wipes, etc. So when I was finally ready to flash, I went into Install and have no idea where the ROM was saved. I thought it would be easy enough to find so I didn't bother checking where it saved before hand. I also couldn't find where my Backup saved so I couldn't even restore from there.
Could you please help me find my ROM or backup?
Switch mount points, perhaps the Rom is on external and not internal

I don't have an external SD card installed. I imagine that the ROM is in the default saving location for the browser, I just don't know how to navigate there. And I have no idea what the default saving location is for TWRP backups.
Downloads from the stock browser goes to my external sd card in the downloads folder. There's also a downloads folder on my internal card.

So I did a system wipe and it looks like that's where I went wrong. The directions said to wipe everything but I guess I got carried away as it looks like it cleared everything off. The only thing under the sdcard folder is a TWRP folder. But when I press Install and then go into /sdcard/TWRP, there's nothing in there. Shouldn't the back up I created be in there?
Please tell me I didn't brick my phone my doing the system wipe.

You didnt brick, you just need to put a rom on the card and flash. If boot fails, you will need to flash kernel through fastboot

When I tried mounting my phone to my computer from TWRP, it shows up as a drive on my computer, but when I try to click on it, I get the following message:
The Disk in drive F is not formatted.
Do you want to format now?
Is it safe to go ahead and format and will that erase all that's left on my phone?

Great, I'll give that a shot when I get home. One last question, which parts should I mount to format? System, data, or cahce?
you only need to select mount and then mount as storage, everything else can be wiped in recovery

Fat32 format of my phone, computer finally recognized it as a functioning drive, transferred the ROM over, and flashed it with no problem. Loving MeanROM. Thank you so much for all your help.
No problem
Basically i went to flash a Rom in my phone, one of the requirements for the Rom was to format system. Not looking I, formatted SD card instead. Erasing my backup i had just made, and whipping the Rom that I was about to flash. So, what I need help with is seeing if anyone know a way to flash a Rom to my phone while in recovery, or is there a way to mount my SD Card memory while in Fastboot or recovery? I'm just looking to be able to flash any Rom in my phone to at least get it able to be used again.

twrp, i did have clockwork recovery at first but adb flashed twrp hopping they had a mount sd function
Okay, boot into twrp, then hit mount, then hit mount USB storage. Plug it into your PC and re-copy your rom of choice.

When i click mount, it only comes up with the option to mount system, mount data, and mount cache. Is there a newer version of twrp? The version i have is called Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.2.0

TWRP recovery won't see the internal storage on my phone anymore. It did, then I flashed TrickDroid and chose the "wipe" option, and now it won't. I've flashed CWM and that works, but TWRP won't, which sucks, because I only have a backup in TWRP and I haven't found a way to restore in CWM from a TWRP backup.

Y u NO;
Mount the SD Card. It is under Systems or Storage in TWRP.
or (if that doesn't work)
Navigate to /data/media
or (if that doesn't work)
Look right above the swipe to confirm tab. You'll see external and internal options.

Hold your horses, Cocky McCockerson. I did navigate to /data/media, but TWRP still won't let me recover. And there are no internal/external options because it's an HTC One, which has no external memory, only internal.
EDIT: Also the SD card doesn't "mount"
EDIT 2: Thank you for trying though.
I think this will help you!
Go here and read this article its covers the problem.
How is the ONE by the way. Do you think its cooler than the S4?
Im using Philz recovery and I have been installing new roms just fine. I wanted to format my internal storage cause the new rom required it. and now when I go to install a new rom it says E:Cannont write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ .last_install_path. How can I fix this?
Try mounting the storage, wiping again, and try flashing again.

Yes, this. After you wipe everything reboot to recovery from within recovery. When/if prompted to install superuser, do so. Get the latest recovery as well if you are not already on it.
Good luck.
