Hi.. im new to this forum...

Yesterday I installed a custom rom (IllusionRom-2.5, 4.3) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Before I had CM10.2, 4.3 installed.
for some reasons i wanted to install my previous ROM again, but now i cant access to my sdcard from CWM(v6.0.3.4). when i select choose zip from sdcard, i get

- clockworkmod/
- obb/
- ++++go Back+++++

I cant even restore from a previous backup. I tried to mount sdcard from cwm and it says,
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!. same error is displaying for sdcard0.
but i can access to both sd cards from laptop..
how can i fix this?
please help me.. :crying:
You're files are in /0 now. Install philz recovery and try again. Or flash a rom from ext SD card.
You could try reading the illusion ROM thread. Its not very long,and a large part of it is discussing exactly this problem. Or you could have read it before flashing,and you wouldn't have this problem to start with.

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?
yes, but it doesn't even give me the option to choose zip file from eternal sd card only from internal sd card

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.

I know what you meant. Just thought it was funny.
I have never had problems with CWM before but I came to install a new ROM and when trying to mount USB Storage I got the following error message:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile
I flashed back to a stock ICS and reflashed CWM using Odin but the same message still applies.
How can I fix this?

You can't mount sdcard in cwm recovery on ics
Use normal file transfer that you use while your phone is in android os

It's not detecting any files on the SD Card and even though I copied the ROM.Zip to the internal storage it's not showing up.

When you copy in internal storage then go to "install zip from sdcard->internal sd"

I'm have a bit of a problem with CWM not loading external sd card.
I have been tring various roms & have now decided to go back to stock.
I have installed the latest stock UK rom & the modem & kernel & have now rooted with tool kit, latest version.
When I go in to cwm recovery it's loading the sd card, I no there is nothing wrong with the card.
How can I fix this problem?

Nope that didn't work, rebooted after install then in to recovery - only seeing internal memory - NOT sd card
I had that problem as well. I use a 64Gb formated with ExFat. What i did was as follows.
I copied all data from the sd card to a pc. Then i formated the sd Card with Exfat again on the PC and copied all data back.
After that it was working without problems again.

I shall give this a try.
In the meantime, has anyone else got a solution or reason this happened?
Don't use exFat. It's a horribly hacked filesystem with even worse implementation under Linux (read: Android) due to it's very low acceptance.
If you want something more advanced than FAT32, use the much more sophisticated and reliable NTFS (requires an aftermarket kernel) or the Linux-native EXT4 filesystem which is also used on the internal storage.
Using Fat64 is just asking for trouble

I get an "error mounting external storage"
Looks like this has got everyone stumpted.
So I tried a 32gb card & it's just the same - SD card not showing in CWM.
As no one seems to be able to help, perhaps other that have got this problem can chip in?

Try changing your CF Root version .

It's ok guys I have found out what the problem was & how to fix it - I can see my SD card with CWM now.

Hmmm... try flashing an older version of syiah. If that fails you may have to flash a stock ROM and see if that fixes your problem

Yes, put phone into download mode flash a new syiah through Odin and see if that works first

1. On your phone, Goto Settings>About phone, and post everything you see.
2. Can you access your SD cards, both internal and external SD cards using a normal file manager?
3. What's the version of CWM recovery you are trying to use.
thanks

hey guys
the title of the thread sums it pretty much up.
i had cm9 on my i9300. but i was having trouble with it. when i call somebody i could hear them, but they could not hear me.
so i decided to switch to ARHD.
i followed the guide.
accidently i put super wipe and the rom in the internal sd card.
after that i did the super wipe. then, logically there was no rom in the internal section anymore.
now i cant boot. i tried to put the rom into my external sdcard but it says "E: cant mount /sdcard/
do you have any tips what i should to now?
i have no backups

Good for you mate, but next time read carfully what the developer said about installation of his OWN Rom.ok We all learn from mistakes and ur not the first or the last person to do so.
i agree to nhariamine formating the ext. SD card before using it is the first step so your phone will recognize your ext SD card.
