i was trying to install jelly beans build 16 and i accidently deleted everything from internal and external memory cards. i have a nandroid that i put on the sd card and put it back into my phone but when i try to reboot from twrp it says "no os installed do you wish to proceed". i only have wifi available for about another hour or so please help me. my note 2 is my only form of communication.
So you had a nan on your computer you out in an sd card then restored and still get that message? Was it a full backup or just data? You could just download aROM and flash to get phone back up

I got it back up but thanks for your reply.
I was in the process of installing a rom and I cleared data from recovery and I deleted including internal and external storage so I had no os to flash.

While trying to do a Nandroid backup, I get a error stating, failure to back up boot image. What causes that and how do you fix it?

Does our version of CWM have the 4 gig limit?
The reason I ask is because on another phone the nandroid backup fails if your internal SD card had too much saved to it.

I think I'm too inexperienced to be rom'ing on my everyday phone. I was running Team Objection lf5 and it was great except for google voice and MHL-out. So I decided to play with CM9. Now I cannot revert back to Objection? CWM recovery menu does not see ANYTHING on my external sd card. But when I pop the card into my laptop everything is still there, including all 3 of my CWM backup dates. What gives? I installed TWRP recovery to see if that was any different but it shows my backups as blank too. (Can TWRP even see/use CWM backup files anyways??).
So if the backups are there....how do you recommend I go about regaining access to them? Thank you in advance for saving my butt!
TWRP cannot use CWM backups and when u boot into CWM u should have an option to restore from internal memory or SD card, which is external. Try that

CWM gives me something like "directory not found" both when SD is mounted and unmounted.
Might be that CM9 is having terrible seeing the external. Put the backup on your internal.

This is true, it's only navigating the internal SD. BUT I can't mount the internal in CM9 to move the backups there. I'm stuck right?
No, flash a ROM, then move the backup on your phone, them restore the backup

Got it. I'm in CM9 right now. Got USB storage "working" in that it connects, but while copying my clockworkmod folder to the internal it will cause the phone to reboot each and every time. (4x so far). I'll keep trying but this was an absolute waste of a day.
External has been wonky on CM9, just flash another ROM, preferably tw based, so you can transfer the file, then restore your backup.

Holy crap the whole problem was incompatibility between CWM and CWMtouch versions. Never would have guessed, but then again I know so little that I thought the backups they create would be compatible. Thanks everyone for your help.
CM7 was/is great on my Incredible, but it appears I am not ready for CM9 on the Note. (With the bugs in CM9 I cannot believe people are asking for CM10 already, yikes). Then again, the is on my everyday, daily driver including work phone so I need every little thing to work right.
Hey all!
I recently had downloaded the ROM GO Airborn, put it on my SD from my laptop, then flashed it through recovery. The problem I had was that it doesnt show any music/photos that are on the SD card. I thought that I had accidently wiped the SD card, but when I go into storage in settings and Astro form the market, it shows that the card is mounted and I can browse it.
I thought it would of been the ROM, so I flashed Eternity ROM after a clean wipe. I am having the same problem. Settings-->Storage says that I have 30GB total and 9GB remaining, and ASTRO can browse the SD card, its all still there. I just cant seem to access it. Any help?
Are you using superwipe before flashing the roms and are you using clockworkmod recovery to flash it?

superwipe no, clockwork yes.
That's what I thought. Go to the eternity forums and go to the FAQ and get super wipe from there. You should also download 4ext recovery because cwm is causing way to many issues here lately.
Sent from my ADR6400 using Tapatalk 2
Will that fix the SD card issue?
I also read recently that cwm has been placing a .no media folder on the SD card and by deleting it some issues may be solved. Worth a shot I guess. My only other suggestion would be to backup the contents and reformat the SD card.
Sent from my ADR6400 using Tapatalk 2
@disconnecktie I love you, man. Haha. The .nomedia issue is exactly what it was. I performed a ".nomedia" search and deleted all of those files. What recovery would you suggest flashing? TWRP is what I am going to flash right now. Anything better available? Thank you!!!
4ext for the win bro. Its the first app I paid for and worth every penny. It is free too but it is so good I had to buy it.

Hey guys, I am rooted/unlocked running Jelly'Beans' Build 11 (going to build 12 tonight) and for some reason I can access my SD card while the phone is running normally, but when I boot to recovery it says I cannot mount the external SD to flash a file.
I get around this by just using the internal storage, but this is not ideal. Can anyone give me an explanation of why this might be happening, or maybe tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
either a bad sd card or you need to format the card to fat32.

If it were bad or formatted improperly, would I still be able to access and use it under normal phone conditions? I use it to save my pictures to, and I can access it from the phones file browser as well as when it is plugged into a pc.

cwm recovery does not recognize exfat. you will have move your files to a pc then format the card to fat32 if you want cwm to recognize it.

I tried switching to TWRP, but under the supported devices in CWM it only lists the Note 2 HSPA. and I am obviously on VZW. Is this ok?

Just download goo manager. Open the app, hit the menu key and select install recovery. It will download the right one

This method worked for me. I am on a Galaxy S4 SGH m919. I stumbled upon this posting by doing a search. I was having a problem where my SD card is working but it wouldn't mount in recovery, so I couldn't restore back ups, of flash anything. I only had this problem after I had flashed Google Edition 4.3. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but this recovery TWRP did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out!!
So I wiped everything and realized I didn't have a ROM downloaded onto my internal storage...for some reason USB storage mounting doesnt work and doesn't show up on my computer..how can I get a ROM on my phone??
I know there is like adb sideload but I don't know how to use it and it wont even start up in TWRP....Looks like im screwed...
Currently waiting for factory image to download...following this guide...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

Do you have a working sd card. TWRP will see external as well as internal storage. Place sd card into computer , download rom onto card, place back into your galaxy then boot back into recovery and flash from sd card.

If you have a rom in your computer you can adb sideload from recovery and will flash.
Probably too late tho since you replied 4 hours ago lol
