[Q] ADB Cannot find CWM?!? - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a huge issue and cannot fix it ( specially when I need my tablet for saturday ). I recently tried to install cyanogen mod 10 on my Archos 101 G9 Turbo using CWM v6.0.3.1
It's now just booting into the CWM and nowhere else.
Things I've tried:
Connecting via ADB ( get onto that inna minute ) ( failed )
Accessing External SD Card ( failed )
First thing I tried:
I installed ADB on my pc and tried to connect to my tablet to try and push [email protected] but upon starting ADB's server up and typing "adb usb" or "adb devices" it comes up as either:
"error: device not found"
or
"List of devices attached" with nothing after that.
This is all with the "Install zip from sideload" enabled in CWM.
The Second thing I tried:
When I first tried to access my external sd card, it wasn't having any of it. I mounted the external_sd in CWM and it didn't show up so after looking on the internet, I found that my version doesn't support anything other than FAT32 and my sd card was formatted to FAT, so I reformatted to FAT32, re-put [email protected] onto the card and booted CWM back up
Then after re mounting the external_sd, and looking for it, I couldn't find any way of accessing the external sd card.
I really don't know what's going on and more importantly how to fix it!
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks.
Jamie.

Q - Sd card not reading in recovery

I recently seemed like a brick on my transformer prime. I tried flashing EOS rom and the system just froze on eepad screen. I still had access to Fastboot and Wipe data but no recovery whatsoever. I figured out i was missing the blobfile which got me back to cwm 5.8.2.0 and i transfered a stock rooted rom to the sd card to reflash but it wouldn't read my sd card, i tried 3 different ones. It just seem like its not finding a sdcard drive on the device. I tried adb pushing the files to internal sd but when im in recovery, my computer recognizes the adb device but the adb in cmd keep saying adb device not found. Any ideas? i been searching on the forums for the past 2 weeks to find a solution but no luck

CWM does not have access to external SD cards on the Prime. No way around it.
how would i go about pushing rom files to update it without the ability to read sd or mount internal sd? my computer reconigzes the android ADB devices when i boot into CMW but when i use adb to push files over it keep saying device not found

[Q] Can't see sdcard in recovery mode.

Hey,
I've flashed Omega 33.2 and Siyah 1.8 kernel.
I used 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery (didn't change the recovery, just flashed Omega and right after Siyah).
I then flashed something from Omega kitchen that I guess made some problems with the ROM, so I got in a bootloop. Not a problem - I will just flash the rom again and everything will be ok, but unfortunately I deleted the rom from my phone memory. In those situations I just go inside recovery and mount the sdcard, so I went into mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, I connected to my computer (windows 7) but nothing happened. So I tried to install kies, but it didn't help too. I also tried the same in Ubuntu (maybe it's mass storage and not MTP because from what I know linux doesn't support MTP), but it didn't worked.
I end up taking my external sd card, putting the rom on it, and flashed the zip from the external sd card.
I don't want to do it every time I want to put something in my phone through recovery. How can I fix this problem? (Yes, I tried more than one USB slot and cable).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.
Tried TWRP, CWM touch 6, but it didn't work. I tried to mount external sd card and it didn't work also. Tried windows7, ubuntu (I think it's mass storage so it should work), and another computer with windows7, but didn't work in neither of them.
Also, tried 'adb devices' when the phone is plugged in in recovery and it didn't see the device too. Does adb suppose to work when I'm in recovery? (I'm developing Android apps so I'm sure that adb is 100% working when the phone is on).
In CWM 6, I press mount /sdcard and after I press the text is still mount /sdcard (doesn't change to unmount), and when I press mount /ex-sdcard it change to unmount /ex-sdcard but doesn't appear on the computer also.
Does anybody else is facing the same problem? very annoying :S
Nobody faces this problem too..? :/
same issue here!!! trying to get some help as I don't have an SD card available right now

[Q] Phone doesn't mount SD-Card, but I can mount it in the recovery mode

Hi,
When the (HTC Desire) phone is powered up it is unable to mount the SD card, and I am unable to have it mounted from the "Settings > SD card & Storage" menu. Having said that, the micro SD card can be accessed from a computer (when plugged in directly to the computer, i.e. no issue with the card), and moreover, when I am in the recovery mode, I can have it mounted and browse it. By the way, the card could be accessed from the phone until I downgraded the O/S, and managed to have it rooted.
When the phone is running normally, and connected to the USB port of a laptop, the laptop does recognize a device connected (can even do ADB), but I believe because the SD card is not mounted, the phone does not offer the option to make the card appear as a disk drive for computer access.
I am running the original (RUU, Telstra) Android 2.2 (2.26.841.2) on a HTC desire, after I had it "S-OFF'ed". After reloading the original 2.2, I had it rooted.
The micro SD card is a 2GB one, with approx 1.5GB formatted as FAT16 (contains typical file and photos), and 0.5 GB as EXT3 (contains nothing at the moment).
HBoot: 6.93.1002
S-Off (thanks to Revolutionary)
Recovery mode: ClockworkMod v5.0.2.0 (I manually loaded it)
I have searched online for solutions, and have not been able to have it fixed. Others seem to have different issues to that of mine. Usually, they cannot mount the SD-card at all (not even from recovery), or their SD card just needed to be reformatted. I think I have indicated that these do not appear to be relevant to my issue at all. I have also tried "Fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", and it made no difference.
I look forward to your kind responses and feedback.
Thank you for your attention.

Welcome to the forum.
I had the same problem once. The solution is very simple but annoying: Many Android phones are unable to mount SD cards formatted with tools like MiniTool Partition Wizard. Reformat the SD card using CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery and everything will be fine.
Good luck.
It worked

Dear friend,
Thank you so much for your simple tip. It worked! I felt so dumb for not trying it out myself. I guess I was tired of trying things without considering moving my data back and forth. Once more thank you.

Well, this IS annoying. I had the same problems and copied my data three times (~ 12 GB). So I can understand that.
Good evening,
I have also the same prroblem.
Is there any manual - instructions that I could follow in order to solve the issue with the CWM?
Thanks in advance.

[Q][i9305] Stuck on PhilZ 6.48.4, can't connect to PC...MicroSD card solution?

Hello,
Last week I decided to update my old rooted 4.1.2 for a brand new 4.4.4 ROM you can see in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...29-9-2014-official-stock-rom-testing-t2890734
It went quite well, I used PhilZ 6.48.4 to install the zip file. For not very rational reasons I wanted to do it a second time to make it "perfect"; I did go on PhilZ to wipe all my data like the other time, I verified if "mount USB storage" worked before doing so, it did as in ADB my phone was detected....problem is after formating my phone storage on Philz, strangely I can't connect my phone to my PC anymore. It just says on my computer (Windows 8.1) "USB device got a problem", ADB doesn't detect it anymore, same for ODIN, smells bad lol.
So I wondered if you can use an external SD Card on Philz, in order to put the ROM zip file on this external SD Card and bring back my phone from the dead with it??
I precise that my phone isn't Hard Bricked, I can't start it anymore coz I formatted all, but I can still access to a fully working PhilZ Touch interface...aside that my dumb PC won't recognize my phone again
Thank you for you future help
In Philz when you mount USB storage from "Mounts and Storage" it mounts your external SD.
Great so there is a way out of this! I'll try it out by buying a micro SD card

[Q] SD card containing Aromafm cannot be read in recovery mode on onda tablet V719

Problem - I have a Onda tablet V719 that has its pattern locked. I don't know the pattern to unlock, nor do I remember the google account information to unlock it. USB debugging is NOT turned on so I cannot reach it via ADB, and it's not setup as a disk drive so simply attaching to a PC isn't a solution either.
Possible Solution - After lots of research, I've found a possible solution where I A - Mount and storage>> Mount Everything>> Mount System>> Mount data>>Mount afs>>Mount Preload>>Mount SDcard>> Mount ExternalSD>> go back>> Install zip from SDcard>>Choose zip from external SDcard and install Aromafm in Android System Recovery.
Reason the above is not working - I've downloaded each file, placed them on a micro SD card via an adapter, and put them into the phone. After booting into the recovery console and going to the Update via SD Card option, I do not see any of the files on the SD card. I've gone as far as to boot the phone into recovery without the SD card installed and I literally see the same data. in short - I cannot get the SD card files to show up in the recovery console (this is a stupid problem to have and I'm hoping I'm just missing something).
