Am i going to lost my recovery and anything related ?
yes, nandroid images are saved on the SD card.. guess thats all
is there anyway i can reset my sdcard to 0 without losing my recovery and all the thing related to that ?
copy the xrec folder to ur desktop/laptop and then once formatted reinstall xrec and copy the folder into ur sd again
Plz thank if i helped u ...
I had noticed that my external sdcard is not is recognized as "sdcard01", so it's on the same level as :
/storage
sdcard0 sdcard1 usbdisk0
> the sdcard0 is the main sdcard and sdcard1 is my 32gbyte external sdcard.
i tried renaming it but does not allow it.
How can i set the external sd-card as the real "external_sd" when you open the main sdcard and find the folder?
Thank you.
I wanna help, but I don't quite understand what you're asking?

/mnt/sdcard is internal
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd is . . . .
On CM roms I think they are /emmc or something - someone jump in here and correct me.
Is it possible someone formatted a different internal partition?
Hi, my external sdcard1 is in the directory as the main sdcard, sdcard0, under /system.
If i go inside sdcard0 and open the folder external_sd, no files are in there.
When using the apps beam reader or hide n seek, it can only see the sdcard0, not the sdcard1.
I tried reflash and wipe internal and external sdcard but still the ext sdcard is still assigned as sdcard1.
I would appreciate any fix.
Thank you.

I believe that the structure for the internal/external files is set during the flash and initial boot of the device, and is rom dependent. thats why I always format the emmc partition, (internal sd card) when flashing a new build.
It seems too often that leftovers are present on the emmc, and are not cleared when wiping in the recovery.
now I'm not saying that this is an absolute, but I'm guessing that if you were too backup your data...(pictures, documents) to PC, and then go to recovery and format the emmc partition, (along with a clean format to FAT32 of the external SD card )...
that upon reboot, the rom dependent file structure will be placed on the internal emmc partition. And you will then see the proper file structure for the external card.
It has worked well for me several times in the past, and with the exception of a few CM builds, will not cause errors. And regarding CM card sight errors, it appears that the file, system/nomedia, placed to the device by rom manager app, will block the access to the external SD entirely by failing to mount. And can be corrected by removing the nomedia file.
I'm no expert, and I'm simply trying my best to help....g
TRY AT OWN RISK !!!!
I will try to do the emmc partition format too.
Thank you for the reply.

What do you mean "format the emmc partition"? Is the TWRP, it's either WIPE>Internal Storage or ADVANCED>Partition SD Card, under this option, there is a number for EXT size and the default was 512 and Swap Size: 32.
Which one should I choose? I had already tried teh Wipe>Internal Storage and format the external-sdcard using FAT32 in my computer and re-flashed but still did not work.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I had downloaded Mini Tool Partition Wizard and now formatting my internal sdcard as EXT4, with default cluster size, the other options for cluster are only 1KB, 2KB, 3KB and 4KB so I chose Default.
I will see what will happen.
Thanks.
You don't need to partition your internal space !!
You need to format the emmc partition only !!
Yikes !!
You are not understanding my post .....
TWRP and CWM recoveries will both format the emmc partition ...
Doing more is dangerous !!!
If you don't understand ...don't proceed !!....g
If you unmount and remove your external sd card, then flash any rom, then insert and remount your card, you should get the correct partitions.

That was a little more understandable. I know what he is saying.
Thank you all. It's fixed. Used mini partition tool.

My question is
can I set /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as my destination folder?
Because i tried directing it to /storage/sdcard1 but it doesn't do the trick
Are you asking how can you get everything you download to be directed towards the sdcard instead of internal memory ?

I think I got a similar issue than you once had and I wonder, how did Mini Partition Tool solve your problem?
My issue is this:
When running the stock Samsung firmware, my external SDCARD was mounted at /storage/extSdCard
I have now installed CM13 (Bliss-ROM) and the external SD card is mounted at /storage/3937-3663
As a result, my restored apps (via Titanium) are looking at /storage/extSdCard for files that are at /storage/3937-3663.
What's the ideal way to resolve my "apps looking in the wrong place" problem?
Renaming "3937-3663" to "extSdCard" is not possible.
Re-linking the apps to the correct path would be very time-consuming, esp. for apps like "Tasker", which has many wrong path-entries right now.
Any suggestions?
Hi guys,
My SD card got corrupted before flashing a rom, so I'm a bit stuck (I can access the CWM menu, the kernel is fine).
So I formatted the card to FAT32 (tried other formats) but when I try and flash an update.zip from it I get
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
So I'm thinking, are there some files missing from the SD card that CWM/android need to interact with it? I can imagine these files were wiped when I did a format. Like superuser files or something? You know also, those hidden files beginning with '.'
I've tried all the usual methods like formatting using SDFormatter and stuff - still, CWM can't see it (my computer can if USB is mounted). Am I right in thinking I need some kind of system files on the SD card?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
the best would be paid copy a rom sd card and flash, or flash a rom stock also either ics or gb and see if there cel recognize SD can not think of anything else. :highfive:
Ok, I guess I'll try that if there's nothing else. If I flash an official .ftf with Flashtool will I need to do anything to my bootloader (currently unlocked)?
Edit: I've been reading around and it seems almost certain that my sd card just needs some vital files on it for CWM and android...
Try by simply reflashing any kernel with cwm if your sd card is readable from pc it is not corrupted, it's more likely somethign wrong with cwm, you should be able to fix reflashing kernel which shouldn't be much of a prob since you have unlocked bl

Hey nice idea, but I tried that earlier and multiple kernels give the same error - it can't be CWM, it must be the SD card (or what's not on the SD card).
Edit: I've tried chkdsk and formatting to a variety of systems using a variety of partition managers, nothings works, my phone just can't mount the SD.

First backup your nandroid backup (if you have one) in a secure place (not the sdcard)
Put your sd card on some other android phone with cwm and format it from the cwm mount/storage option.
if you don't have a nandroid backup skip the next two steps.
mount the sdcard in your computer and create two folders in the sdcard (a folder inside a folder) name the parent folder as "clockworkmod" and child as "backup" .
Put your nandroid backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Now put the Rom zip file you want to flash in the root of the sd card
Power down your phone.
Put the memory card in your phone
Boot into cwm and try to flash the rom.
If the second step fails with "error mounting sd card" try with another memory card or with another phone.

I'm so depressed .. i have write a img on my enternal sd card ,,
i did that to install chromium os on my laptop .. cuz i don't have a usb memory .. so i did it on my sd
when the writing is over and everything is done ... i tried to open the sd card from my laptop and it didn't open .. it keep telling me THE FILE IS CORRUPTED ... something like that .. so i did a format for the sd but the space after formatting had been changed to 1G .. it was 16G!!!
and i wasn't able to acces the sd card which means that the sd is nothing no acces a FAKE 1G space ... any ideas how to fix this ?
and if changed the rom will it work ? ,, please ): :crying:
and to notice that the sd was connected to the laptop through my sgs2
internal or external sdcard?
you wrote enternal... so i cant tell which 1
anyway try rebooting phone or formatting card through cwm.. or using command prompt, type
cd..
cd..
cd..
format /U (Drive name)

or try partitioning the card using cwm and then remove the partition through pc (right click my computer--> manage---> disk management--> right click partition remove)
your phone will say damaged sd card format? hit yes and reboot...
or use EASEUS DATA RECOVERY SOFTWARE...
and hope for the best...
