I was following Quinny889's method to install CM, but after step 9, booting in CWM, I couldn't find the option to install from my ext sdcard. I have the rom stored on my ext sdcard...
any idea, please?
I think you have to mount your sd car. You can do that in "mounts and storage" section when you enter CWM.
it the external sd doesn't work use the internal. you can copy the zip into internal through sde. goto developer menu and something like export data partition. connect to pc and copy zip. then go back to cwm

After a drop down, my phone started to beep and charge itself without connecting to charger or USB. Usb couldn't recognize it as USB2 device, so I'we done a factory reset, every thing was ok but CWR can't see my sdcard.
I tried, stock rom, custom roms, repartition, format, kernels, older cwr, nothing, so I'am stuck with odin.
Can u help me, pls.
RESOLVED. - clean flash new stock rom
Can your phone when on see the SD card? If it can, and you're just wanting to flash .zip files from CWM recovery, why not put them on the internal storage?
I can acces my internal storage, with file managers but not in cwr, he can't find any files or folders on my internal (USB) storage.
Im sure cwm doesnt read external sd card

I have no external sd, this is about internal storage card, what is not recognized by cwr
So why did you say can't acces my sdcard?
Are you sure you're using CWM recovery correctly? For example, Apply update from .zip file on SD card --> choose zip from internal sdcard.
Note, I said choose zip from internal sdcard (5th option), not "choose zip from sdcard".
You are right the new CWR has separated options.....
Meanwhile a got it, after installing new Sijah
Can u install rom to external or set it to instal apps directly to external sd?
I have no idea what you're asking, but didn't you just say you don't have an external SD anyway?
With my old (broken) rom, i couldn't acces my internal storage with cwr, the new cwr 5 has separated storages as you mentioned,
Now i reflashed clompletly my sgs and i can see all my files and install .zip. so i resolved, it.
But hey thanks for underlineing the new options in cwr.
I have searched and can't seem to find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
I am running cm7 nightly #116 and siyah Kernel (latest version)
I booted into clockwork recovery to do a nandroid backup, and when I performed a reboot afterward my internal SD was no longer visible from within the OS. My external SD card is mounted as /sdcard and there is nothing in /emmc. I tried removing my microsd and when the phone boots it does not see itself as having any SD storage. (neither internal nor external)
When a run a df -k from the terminal I do not see my sd cards partition.
However if I boot into clockworkmod recovery I can still browse the contents of my internal sd partition with no issues. (via flash zip from internal sd card) Does anyone know what could cause this or what method I should use to try and fix it? I believe my backup should be ok.... but I have no method of getting the files out of my internal sd because when I "mount usb storage" it only mounts the external sd.
Fixed. Formatted system and did an advanced restore from an old nandroid backup. Reboot and voila.

Hi,
I have CWM 5.0.2.0
The back-up of my previous ROM is on my sdcard, and so are the files for the new ROM, but I currently have no ROM installed because I wiped, and I cannot access my SD card to restore/install a new one. The card has always read fine before, but now it just doesn't read. My computer recognizes the SD card, but not my phone. It is formatted as FAT32.
I was trying to install Noattachrix's ROM and previously had Neutrino 2.6 EE. I copied the files onto my SD card from my computer, and then I put the SD card in, went into recovery, wiped data cache and dalvik cache, and then I selected "install zip from SD card" and then "choose zip from sdcard" and it says "E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
Try to see if you can mount /emmc instead of /sdcard

I've got the same problem. You have to flash sbf with 2.3.4, copy rom (zip file) to internal memory, unlock bootloader, flash recovery and flash zip

could u clarify for me plz? my sdcard has been working fine for quite some time, recently flashed nottachtrix4g through romracers recovery, and then decided I didn't like the theme, so I reflashed it, that was the last time I got the sdcard to work, now anytime I try to check the sdcard through computer or just on phone it acts like there isnt one there, but when I connect via the computer, it shows external storage but its in the state previous to setting the usb mode to storage, however when I do set usb mode to storage, I can access the internal memory, but the sd card remains in that external storage mode that I cant access, any suggestions?
edit: it appears my sdcard is either corrupt or doesn't work anymore, swapping for another sdcard it worked immediately, I need an sdcard reader in order to format it
Hi,
I messed up with the Android software, i installed chainfire app from the Play store and tried running it, After it ran the phone rebooted and got stuck in Welcome screen, I did soft reset by pulling out the battery for 10 mins , but it didnt help.
Now the thing is i dont want to lose my sensitive data. P.s I can enter into CWM recovery mode and also my phone is rooted with Omega ROM 4.1.2. I can see the file structure of my internal SDcard through the install from Internal SDcard Menu, But when i go to the mounts and storage menu and mount the SDcard it says there is an error mounting SDcard, I want to take backup of my folders before preforming a hard reset
I tried fetching files through ADB Shell installed on my PC, But it didnt help , I can see all the folders including SDcard and SDcard1, but both folders are empty without any data, i am sure since i was not able to mount the SDcard it was displaying empty folder. But my question is im able to explore all the folders in my internal SD in recovery mode through the "Install from Internal SDcard menu"
Is there any way to recover the files ?....The only way i can think of is to transfer the Same ROM zip file to Ext SD Card and perform the installation of ROM from recovery mode and again my doubt is will it affect the data on my internal SD card
Is there any way to backup my files from SDcard to PC.

flashing the same rom.zip from ext sd card does not wipe internal data.

Ok.....My question is why i am not able to mount my Internal SD card in recovery mode and take a backup through ADB in PC.
Is it that CWM doesnt support mounting the Internal SD card...has anyone tried mounting the internal SD card in recovery mode.

when there is no data loss, why backing up via pc again? when you flash rom.zip through ext sd card, the system boots normally into OS. then you may backup the data to pc and perform hard reset as you wish.

I stupid did formatted my /data and /system on my prime.
It is now completely empty, i can get normally into recovery mode but cannot install any software at all.....
When i try install install from sd card it says simply: 'no files found'
I got an external SD inserted but this is not reqonized by fastboot recovery.
When i go to 'mounts and formats' the /sdcard /data etc is not mounted, when i use 'mount sd card' nothing happens, mostlikely because all is formated and there is no /sdcard found.
I booted into USB mode and uplaoded a CW rom into the drive which is mounted on my pc, created a folder called sdcard and place in there the CW mod, try to install it bu no succes. It simply does not see my sd card.
Tried: adb pusk cm.xxxxx.xip /sdcard, but get an error: closed
Simply i cannot install anything.
My question is:
- how do i access the external SD card where my rom is located to install?
- how can i recover the prime so i can use it again?
