Thanks alot! This forum is the best.

Such a mess
The clockworkMod image 6 SIMPLY does not work at all, you must flash the old (almost useless) version 5 , almost is because cannot mount the micro sd or usb or sd, ONLY roms inside the machine.
IF all this forum works this way i better no search here.

[Q] CWM can't mount error

Good afternoon,
I am having a big problem with my white Samsung Galaxy I9100 S2. I haven't sd card, but my internal memory is 11.5 GB. So I would like to install CWM. When I root via CF-root I have CWM 4. Everything is fine and I can to install zip via recovery boot.
But when I flash other kernel with CWM 5 (with blue text) I am getting an error when I try to install zip via recovery boot. Error says that E:can't mount /sdcard/.
So where is the problem? I have tried everything: about 10 different kernels, different roms, format internal memory, use ROM manager and so on. When the CWM is 5 it doesn't work, I get an error. But when the CWM is 4 everything is fine.
I am waiting your answers.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
MySelf
Still waiting your answers..
So basicly if you use CF-root everything is fine. Then what is the problem? Where did you get CWM 5 from?
The problem is that the CWM5 doesn't work. Read my first post.
CWM5 I got with a kernel from xda forum.
Again: the problem is that if I have CWM5 I'm getting error which is saying that E:can't mount /sdcard/ and I can't install zip in recovery mode.
Regards,
MySelf
Yes I can understand that. But why do you need CMW5?
If it comes with an other rom, I then can understand that you have no choice. But if CWM4 works, then there is no point in using CWM5.
Choose internal sdcard, not sdcard.

It comes with other rom and kernels. I would like to use other rom (not SGS2 stock) with other kernels and I can't, because I am getting error.

How to choose it? It is set by default I think, because I can't find anywhere where I could choose CWM usage internal sdcard, not sdcard.

In newer versions of CWM recovery, (such as 5.0.2.7 in Siyah kernel) after you select an option like "install zip from sdcard", there should be multiple options:
choose zip from sdcard
apply /sdcard/update.zip
toggle script asserts
choose zip from internal sdcard
On a stock ROM "from sdcard" refers to /sdcard/external_sd (i.e. a physical microSD) and "from internal sdcard" refers to /sdcard (i.e. internal storage).
Before installing zip try this:
go to mounts and storage
mount data (thats mean change it from mount /data to unmount /data)
and so on for system.
then install your zip file.

Hi!
I had the same problem after installing ressurection 10.2 with kernel that followed with it. I found out when changeing the rom from the 10.2 to 10.3 the screen displaid E: Can't mount /emmc/.
What i did was , instead of install zip from sdcard , i went for "apply update.zip" . Woila i got my old backedup kernel with the abillity to "install fom sdcard"
I hope this solves your problem. Regards Sven

[SOLVED] Can't mount sdcard while JB/CM10 install

Following the guide everything went good until i came to the point of installing the rom from the sdcard.
When I try to choose zip from sdcard, CWM says "E:can't mount /sdcard/"
Someone told me to format the card with SD Formatter, I've done it but it didn't solve anything. :crying:
I'm completely stuck now, anyone can help me, please?

Did you select choose zip from external sdcard? or just from sdcard?
I choose mine from external sdcard.

In CWM v6.1.0.4 downloaded with Alpha 2 it does not have external sdcard option.
I resolved with CWM v6.1.0.5 which comes with Alpha 3. :good:
Used Sideload option, since it doesn't see any external sdcard as well!

Mixed Partitions and mount error

Hi guys could really do with some help.
When i go into CWM (v5.5.0.4) and 'choose zip from sdcard' it takes me to my internal sd and when i 'choose zip from internal sdcard' it takes me to my external card.
Ive not worried about this too much until i tried to update to OmegaROM v33.2, i did a full wipe (using instruction http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/)
Now when i go into CWM and 'choose zip from internal sdcard' i get a message E:Can't mount /emsc/
Please can i have some input into whats going on?

[Q] Problem finding files etc

Hi. I am trying to flash Cyanfox 2.0.2 for my s2. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to find my zips. I've tried putting the rom and the gapps zip in both the /sdcard0 (internal memory), /sdcard1 (ext. SD card) as well as in the root folder of my phone. The only folders showing up in CWM when choosing "Install zip from sdcard" are 0 and obb. It looks like I have no option to choose between /sdcard0 or /sdcard1 inside CWM.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks, but I don't wanna bother with updating CWM yet, if I can find another solution first. I haven't done done an update to CWM Recovery before, so I am clueless about that. Anyway, I found out today that one of the data pins inside the micro usb is broken, so I can't transfer using ADB.
Edit: I thought I finally had got it. I downloaded ROM Manager. I haven't done that before since I've had some problems using wi-fi on the unofficial CM11 ver I had (one of the reasons for why I'm updating). I selected "Install rom from sdcard" in rom manager, navigated to the rom, and chose to install. ROM Manager booted into recovery and showed the following error:
E:Can't open /data/media/CyanFox2.0.2.i9100.zip
(No such file or directory)

Which doesn't lead me anywhere, since it's basically the same problem that I had in the first place.
