yeah i got that. now did you try to repartition it?
edit: and get recovery.log after you tried to mount it, so we can see the error.

You've just been given some advice to try, I would suggest you try it, regardless of how many cards you've tried. Maybe it'll help, maybe it wont, at least you will be able to report back if it has or hasn't and move on from there.
Florida.
That happened to me, I ended up putting the card in my laptop and formatting it that way. Works now.
so i did it and it did not work...
:S
seriously, if you want help you need play along. you did what, and how and why didn't it work. and attach your recovery.log, there is more detail about errors than you get on your display.
i have the modaco 3.1 rom and the RA-hero-v1.5.3 recovery. i dont know which radio i had before i flashed the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26. because modaco didnt boot, i flashed the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio and modaco boots normally but now when i enter the sdcard it doesnt show it. where can i find the recovery.log?
no idea what you mean by "enter the sdcard"...
the log is in /tmp/recovery.log, there is a menu entry to copy it to the sdcard, since yours doesn't work you need to pull it via adb
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log .
sry i mean when i put in the sd

i dont know what that means...
and my pc dont recognize my hero therefor i cant pull it via adb
can i write the adb command via a downloadable terminal from market?
ok, last try:
1. do not take out the sdcard while the phone is powered on IF you are using apps2sd. it doesn't work. if you need to take it out power down the phone.
2. put in the card while phone is off, boot into recovery (home+power)
3. partition the card as you like. if it fails you need to set up adb, there is no way to find out why it fails without adb.
4. if it works reboot. if there is any problem go back to recovery, go through the first 3 wipe options (this will wipe all your data), then reboot.
you can also try to partition the card on a pc.

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 .

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

[Q] Quick help for flashing via CWM

Hey I'm currently using the lightning 6.1 rom you guys have on this forum but I'm trying to get the new cyanogen mod 7.1 on my galaxy s2 instead via CWM.
I've rebooted into recovery to try flash the .zip but nothing shows up on my SD card... when I try enter the folder it just springs back to the start menu and i'm unable to flash.
Does anyone have any idea?
I have:
Formated my SD card, then put all my data back on.
Made sure the SD card is working.
So how comes its not working via CWM? I can ask to flash it via the actual app but when it boots into recovery to flash it gives me a signature error.

Try going to the "mounts and storage" option in CWM. Then click on mount sd card. That might be your problem.
TIP: If you want to flash CM7 flash this kernel before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 , becasue if your using cf root kenrel you will get into trouble.

I tried this and it still says there are no files on the SD card... do I need to name it something specific? I tried naming the rom zip update.zip once but that didn't do anything either.
I dont really want to flash to a recovery rom only if i'm not able to get CM7 off of my SD Card :/
*edit* I currently have the zips at the root of the SD card.. there are 4 folders data, LOST.DIR, DCIM and media... should the files be on the root or in another folder?
Make sure the zip file is on the root of the "internal" sd card, also just keep the name the same as the downloaded file. You should find it somewhere at the bottom of the list. Also select with the menu button, not the power button. Power button is to go back.

He means, place it on phones storage, and not the SD card. Just use the USB cable and transfer it from your PC (Or Mac )

Internal SDCard Trouble . Help please!!!

well Hello to all
the thing is my Galaxy S2 does not detect the internal mass memory (16gb), I cant get acces with the phone or PC
its boot ok, I can make calls, texts etc... but, for example if I try to take a picture with the camera it says "insert an SD Card before using the camera"..
Download mode & recovery are ok.
I allready format everything I could :S
Odin does not recognize the phone :S
any Help??
excuse my English :silly:
Thanx!!
What FW are you running?
i don't think this is an internal memory problem.. under the camera's settings, did you set the storage to memory card? maybe you accidentally set it to memory card
Having a similar problem, but after rooting my internal storage seems to have disappeared?? any ideas/help greatly appreciated!

Maybe you need to mount in CWM under mounts and storage. Sorry if I'm mistaken!

Surely it's under "emmc" in the root folder. Get solid explorer and you'll see....

Have tried that too, pretty much tried everything. Having one last shot with a different idea this evening, but if that doesn't work am out of ideas.
Thanx to all for the help! I have made some progress... now when I conects the phone to the pc recognizes it as a disk storage, can not be formatted...
I have X-Treme CM10 1.0 it is bassed in CyanogenMod 10 . Android 4.1.1
I think I have to Mount the USB Storage.... but dont know how. ( I believe thats where the problem is)
In Recovery mode > mount USB Storage it says "E. unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)"
I´ve tried too Recovery mode > mount SDCard = "Error mounting /SDCard"
Odin stills not recognize the divice! so I cant change the rom or something.
What if if try to use Odin with RE PARTITION chek "ON"?? , I know is risky..
thanks for the help, and again, excuse my english!

I'm facing the same issue. Apparently, its not the issue with ROM or rooting. I'll try to flash new kernel through CWM(as i can't connect via ODIN ). Will update here if find any solution
Why don't you download some good ROM via phone's browser and then install it via recovery? You should try. Second method is that you insert Micro sd with some ROM (try one of the Samsung 4.0.3 based ROMs) and Siyah kernel on it and then flash it.
flash stock with pit
same problem with cm 10.1
Go into recovery and format emmc (internal storage).

Formatted my whole phone accidently, pls help...

Thought I formatted my external SD card only but I accidently formatted the Internal SD card. Im able to boot into recovery only. Can I transfer a ROM to Recovery from my PC or do I have to use Odin again to recover my phone? Thanks...
sounds like you wiped system. there should be an option in recovery to mount your sd card to your pc and xfer a rom over that way to flash. as long as you can boot into recovery, shouldnt have to redo odin.

If you have an LG phone, you need to seek help in the appropriate forum. This forum is for a Samsung phone, and we would not have the knowledge to address your issues.
