So I have followed all the steps in the rooting process for the Dell Venue 8 7840 on 5.1 Lollipop but I get stuck on one step. I flashed my firmware, then went into the Launcher program and selected T4, then it brought me to the screen where I can select a zip file. When I try to select the zip from the SD card it says can't mount SDcard, I followed all the steps perfectly and have tried this at least 30 times. If anyone knows of a way that can help me please let me know! Much appreciated.
Yup, u gotta mount sdext. There should me some point called "mounting" or "storage".

It didn't work. By the way, I don't have an external SD card so I'm using the internal SD card.

You have to unmount System, but it´s not proven to work yet. U might wanna get an external SD, it´s ~10 $ and guaranteed to work.

I recently got a 32 gb micro sd for my view, I just finished formatting it on my pc. I used a fat32 format, not sure if thats totally the right file system, but found a few people that used it. Anyway, the tablet recognizes the card but the camera can't save to the sd card and when i goto gallery it just says insert sd card.

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.

Hi to all...
I'm in the process to install the new Energy ICS and my phone can't mount my sd card when in recovery 4Ext... I can't go further! I tried my card in my DHD and it sees it no problem... I tried formatting the card without any luck... Any ideas?
32GB class 10
Update... I tried an 8Gb and a 16 GB and nothing works so I guess it's not the card... My phone doesn't see any SDCard... Kinda strange...!

Rollback to your backup and see if everything's working fine, then perhaps reflash to the latest Recovery?

I can't... The backup is on the SDCard and the phone doesn't see any sdcard... I tried the internal storage and when I try to mount it, it says Error mounting... I'm pretty much stucked there if I can't get my internal ou external storage to work...
I tried for the 5th time to format the card and the internal storage with 4ext recovery and it worked... Did exactly the same thing 5 times and it only worked the last time... Go figure...!!!
Thanks for the help!!

Hrm... Not sure. To confirm, you can't see or mount either the external SD, OR the internal SD? (When plugged into your computer, right?)

I have the same issue. If you use cwm 5.0.2.6, works fine. Same thing happens when you use the new cwm. Just go back to the older one. Just flash it in hboot (ph85img)

Hey guys a little help please. So I have a springboard and I wanted to update it to ics. So I went to the huawei website and downloaded the file unzipped and I put the dl folder in the root of my SD card, but when I went to install it said fail. Am I doing anything wrong. I followed the PDF instructions and it doesn't work just says FAIL all the time. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance
Try download and extract it again. It helped for me.

Well I've been trying for like 3 hours and still no luck. Which is the root cuz I noticed when I plug the card into the computer and the prompt comes up to choose what I want (and I choose open folder to.view files) on the top of the screen it says g:\ and when I choose the open folder to.view file it turns the g to a E:/ so which is the official root. Anyway I tried putting the dload in both and nothing. I have no clue what else to do. This isn't the first time I do some Modding on electronic equiptment. I have my phone rooted and Ive installed android into windows phones...I also tried redownloading the file but nothing.
Do you have a SD card in the machine? Be aware that the internal memory on the Mediapad calls itself SD but it is not.

No. I remove the SD card and put it in my phone. After I move the file into the SD card I put it in the tablet.

Not sure why you are having these problems. Any reason why you don't just install one of the rooted ROMs found here?

This solve mine!
1. remove sd card from the tablet.
2. use card reader to connect my sd card to my computer.
3. copy all my files in the sd card to my computer for backup.
4. format sd card to fat32 with default allocation.
5. copy dload folder to my sd card.
6. put my sd card back to my tablet turn it on and everything goes well.
7. copy my files from my computer back to my tablet. (THATS IT!!!)

My card is already a fat32. I've tried it all. Can it be because my springboards build number is S7-303u and the file I downloaded is S7-302u?

There is hope. I can link all the files to you later because I'm busy now, but I can tell you the way. I'm assuming you already have Odin and all the stock .pda and .tar files. So first flash the .pit and .tar and then flash the .pit and a file called dbdata which should be everywhere if you look for it. The dbdata file should mount your system and fix that problem. Also make sure you have re-format checked. If I remember right just playing around with those helped me with the same problem. I think the dbdata didn't work the first few tries then I tried something else and it worked
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Someone in another thread had close to the same problem, this method might wipe your sd, it might not I can't remember, but I don't think it should.
Here is where you can find all the stock files
Here is the dbdata file
EDIT: You should probably also know this will put you one pure-unrooted-straight from the factory-stock.
Did you solve your problem? Share it!!

I think my Internal SD card has broken,so the only way is swapping external and internal SD card. Now the question is i don't konw how to swap them in Android 4.4,all the old ways have failed.
In android 2.3~4.2 ,I swap them by edit /system/etc/vold.fstab
In android 4.3,vold.fstab has gone,I swap them by edit /system/build.prop
But in android 4.4, it also doesn't work
