Mounts & Storage>Mount USB
If that doesn't work try other kernel, like Siyah.

That's all it supposed to show in that menu because at that point your disks should have been mounted.
Did you even have your cable plugged in??
If it didnt work its likely you haven't installed the Samsung USB drivers. Just install latest version of Samsung Kies and it will install needed drivers.

i meant mounting it in recovery so that i can flash roms saved in memory card.

i even tried formatting with gui-fat format, still nothing.

If you can't use external sdcard, just use the internal one.

Full wipe for flashing new rom

When changing to new ROMs, some require a 'full wipe'. What I'm wondering is when you do a full wipe in CWM, does it also wipe the external SD card? I'm never really sure if it will or not so I always take it out prior just to be safe. If I don't need to do that though that would be good
No unless you select wipe external sd card if the option is on CWM .

I run full wipe, but now I can't access the external sd and I can't send files via cable. Do you have any solution?
Thank you

What is your Rom you used after you did the full wipe?
It requires time for the media scanner to scan all of your files on your external SD. It took me one time about 5 - 10 minutes until I saw my files on the file manager.

Hi
Let me be mo clear:
I used Super Wipe Full to erase everything because I was facing some problems on it.
I used a lot of rooms before.
Now I can just access CWM and when I try to install the room, it says: "no files found". I think is isnt reading the external sd.

1. Copy the Rom to internal SD.
2. Next time be very careful not to wipe your SD cards in CWM recovery

I think that you must use solid explorer to copy the rom.

-Boot to CWM recovery
-Connect your phone to the PC via CWM recoveryt
-Select Mounts and Storage
-Select Mount USB storage
Your internal and external SD should be mounted as Mass Storage on your PC, connect the ROM to the Internal SD.
Good luck

external sd card not recognized

Hi guys,
i have flashed a few miui v4 roms and i think they have messed up my external sd card settings or something along the line.
now i'm back on a gb rom, i see the sd card when the phone is up and running but if i try to flash from cwm 4.0.1.5 it doesn't see mmy external card ?
do you guys have any idea how to sort this out ? i want to say that this sd card has always worked fine on this device, it's just now that cwm doesn't see it.
thanks
Format the card & see if the phone recognises it. If not, faulty card given you're running stock & the card should be visible to the phone/working fine if the card is good/not faulty.

Have you tried mounting it in CWM?

What version CWM recovery are you on?
I meant, if you go to the Mounts and Storage menu, does it have an option for mounting or unmounting /sdcard? If so, does it say mount, or unmount? If it says mount, then you have to mount it in order to use it.
4.0.1.5 and yes there is mount, i mount it, go back to choose zip from sd card.....and there's no internal card detected....if i boot in the system i can see it with file explorer or the likes...it's just cwm not seeing it

Hmm. I've not used 4.x.x.x in quite some time.
I'm using 5.0.2.7. For me, anything that refers to "sdcard" is the external card. "internal sdcard" is the built in flash memory. And as it turns out, I didn't even have to mount /sdcard to use either.
Sorry man...
How did you get 4.0.1.5 installed? Maybe it's time to upgrade.
yes probably, how do you actually upgrade this ??

Easiest way is to flash a kernel that comes with it. I'm using Siyah. Just search for it.

[Q] Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory) can anybody help ?

Hello guys.
I want your help! I don't know if the problem is from my card or from my recovery.
I've connected my SD-card to my computer in order to make back-up for my data(I think that was a little premonition).
After that I wanted to copy a new ROM to the card in order to flash it, but the speed was too slow. So I've enter into Recovery in order to copy there the ROM(mount the card as USB). Then, I've noticed that the speed was very low so I've decided to format the SD.
I've put into the card reader of my laptop and made a full format of the card(FAT32).
Last stap, I've inserted the card into my phone and tried to Mount as USB, but, than appeared the big error:
"Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)!"
After that I've tried to repartion the card..but only the same message appeared.
I've to mention that my ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23789395#post23789395) is working fine!

I've tried that too. No chance. I've format the card with http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html. It can see all the partitions from SD card. On that card I had an ext4 partition(from my old HTC Desire). After that, in phone I can see the card(both Android and Recovery) but can't copy anything on it.

Try formating the card threw the sd options in SD/ storage setting. Meaning unmount the sd. Then format the sd. When its complete it should remount the sd automatically. Also you should try reflashing your recovery. Also what rom and kernel are you using??

TWRP Can't mount external SD

So I recently flashed TWRP and when i try to mount the the externel sd it won't check the box. So I can't save backups onto my external SD. I can access it fine when I connect using the usb.

From what we discovered. The newer version of TWRP is very picky on how the sdcard is formatted.
Go to "Install" and make sure it is point to /sdcard.
If it doesn't go to /sdcard. Keep toggling the radio buttons for internal and External sdcards until it pops up or press "Install" then back a few times.
You beat me to it! What I actually had to do to get mine to work was go into advanced and partition the sdcard, I made the ext-sd partition as small as possible since I never plan on using it. Once I did that everything was fine. Just make sure to back up your stuff because it will wipe your sdcard!

So I have EXT Size and Swap Size. Which one do I make small and which one do I make large? Also, do I use EXT3 or EXT4
I set the ext size to 128 and swap to 0, I also used EXT4. I don't think it really matters which one you use because you're not going to be using it anyway. EXT4 just provides performance enhancements over EXT3.

How did you manage to backup your SD card to partition it when in the first place you can't backup it because TWRP fails to mound the SD card!
I can't seem to get my SD card to mount either. I flashed TWRP last week. I just rooted my wife's old rezound. I tried all the fixes mentioned and nothing worked.

TWRP keeps telling me it can't open 'E:' (when trying backup to ext_SD).
'E:' was the drive designation used when formatting the card.
How do we tell TWRP to just write the card that's installed in the tablet?
TWRP 2.8, KitKat 4.4, if that matters.

You tried formatting in TWRP or from your pc? The latter should work, once you mount it in Windows you should get a prompt to format.

I tried to format the internal storage through TWRP but it kept saying "failed" and when I would connect it to my PC through TWRP and try to mount it it won't let me
I don't suppose you have an adapter that you can plug it into and use in a card reader do you? If not, you may consider picking one up, they're pretty cheap. That's assuming you have access to a computer with a card reader of course...
