I recently got a touchpad for my mom and I'm trying to mount in clockwordmod to update to the latest nightly build and on windows it says to format and won't recognize the drive... what is going on here??
ok what exactly do you mean? youre trying to mount what exactly? do you mean youre trying to mount the touchpad as usb storage while your in clockworkmod recovery? also an easy way to update is with an app called GooManager from google play. dont install the open recovery script though. just use goomanager to download the zips that you want to flash then reboot into CWMrecovery and flash them from the goomanager folder on your sdcard. simple as that.
I've read in many threads that you shouldn't mount the drive in CWM, there is a chance the file transfer will corrupt. Instead download the file in the OS, or mount and copy in the OS, then reboot to CWM and load the file or whatever you are trying to do.

yes theres a chance tthat files can become corrupted using cwm usb mount, however I havent had that problem yet. Also ./adb push ./adb pull or tftp work nicely for moving files to:from the device.

If you want to install a stock ROM, why not just grab a firmware tar and flash with ODIN?
Anyway, assuming that you somehow have a CWM-flashable ZIP of the stock ROM and you're using a custom CWM recovery, you can push files through ADB:
Install Kies so that all the required drivers are installed;
Grab SuperOneClick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and extract the ADB folder;
Attach a USB cable to the phone and to the computer;
Use CWM to mount /sdcard;
Open a Command Prompt in the folder where you extracted ADB;
run "adb shell";
run "ls /sdcard" and verify that your internal SD card is mounted (are the files that are on your internal SD card in that list?);
if it is mounted, run "exit" and then type "adb push", and then a space, and drag the ZIP file to the command prompt, add another space and then add "/sdcard" and press enter so you have something like this:
"adb push AStockROM,zip /sdcard"

Thanks for your answer, but i already tried with adb shell.
When i go to the "sdcard" folder, it's empty !
Maybe I'll just have to buy a microSD tomorrow and then it'll work... But i don't want to wait until tomorrow :silly:
(On CWN, i have "Error mounting /sdcard" all the time... But it's because i only have my internal storage right ?
Thanks

With CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 (CF 1.5) I can do this to get to the internal SD card:
install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from internal sdcard
and the card should be mounted on /data/media

I have the same problem as op in his first post as well as "Error mounting SD card". I tried the quoted instructions above and then the commands for adb, but on typying run adb shell and run ls /sdcard nothing happens. Could this be because I have jelly bean 4.1.2 and samsung removed the USB-mass torage feature in it for internal SD-cards?
I have the same exact CWM version.
If I type "run adb shell" (with the quotation) marks I get:
Run.exe
---------------------------
Error: Couldn't find adb shell anywhere.
I even looked in the PATH
I also tried appending the following extensions:
[1]: .exe
[2]:
run "ls /sdcard" gives:
Run.exe
---------------------------
Error: Couldn't find ls /sdcard anywhere.
I even looked in the PATH
I also tried appending the following extensions:
[1]: .exe
[2]:
Just to experiment I tried to mount sd card in cwm after choose zip - still get "Error mounting SD Card".
Also if I go into my data folder via CWM I don't have a media folder, but I guess that's because im inside the wrong partition.
And just to be clear about the command part. My ADB folder is located at C:\ADB
I opened elevated command prompt, typed "cd C:\ADB" (without quotation marks), then enter. Then i ran the adb shell and ls /sdcard commands.
I also restarted computer after installing KIES.
edit: my goal was to transfer nandroid backup to phone and do a restore, guess I'll have to go the odin route -> flash stock rom, then connect phone to windows and transfer the nandroid.

Try just typing "ls" to see what folders you have. If you type "ls /sdcard" it shows nothing because the /sdcard in root is not a real folder, it is a link. Try "ls", after that try "ls /storage". I know my internal sdcard can be shown if I do "ls /storage/sdcard0". Hope that helps.

My reply is for posterity since I solved my problem by solution mentioned in edit. I don't require more assistance at this time, and will likely not answer if someone replies.
Using these commands still nothing happens in the command prompt.

According to this::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_update_without_SDcard
You can use this method:::
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finished, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip
::::
You can do a search for " zip to tar"
But its fairly involved,,, so try above method 1st

there is no zip file on the internal storage.
in recovery mode, start sideload.
worked with command - adb sideload rom.zip on windows 7 cmd
this actually pushed rom.zip file onto the storage of the device.:laugh:
I made TWRP to make a nandroid backup. In past I copied files to pc, but when I tried to restore it failed. I red that it's not as simple, as permissions etc need to be copied, and you need to use adb. I couldn't get it to work. I rebooted to twrp, connected usb cable and in elevated command prompt
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP
but it only copied a .twrps file that's 1kb. How to do this?
you do do not need adb bro.
Just plug in your phone when running android (normat MTP or MSC) and browse SDcard/TWRP then copy. if the backup is on internal memory otherwise if it is on the External SDcard broswse The external SD card directory and you will find the folder TWRP.
you have to copy the TWRP Folder.
