Hi,
I have a strange issue with my external sd card. I am using Redmi Note LTE[DIOR]. I do not know how to reproduce this issue.
One particular SD card(64 GB) goes undetected in the phone's recovery(tried on TWRP as well as CWM recovery).
From TWRP:
/external_sd/ folder is blank, and also TWRP won't check the mount Micro SDCard.
From CWM:
E: can't mount /sdcard/. That's all I get.
The stranger fact is that the same sd card works in the recovery of other phones and other sd cards work in my phone's recovery. As far as i remember this issue started after flashing the CM 14.1 ROM.
Have tried the below:
1. Formatting my sd card in all file systems possible(using Windows, Android, Minitool Partition, SDFormatter).
2. Partitioning SD card successfully using CWM and TWRP recoveries on other phones(still undetected on my phone)
3. Flashing stock ROM.
4. Trying to wipe and partition sd card through TWRP recovery on my phone, all I get is device could not be found in both cases!
5. Partitioning SD card using Minitool Partition Wizard.
Someone, please help. It's driving me crazy!
OTG is working fine on TWRP though.
Also, the sd card is detected and working when the phone boots up in android, issue is only with RECOVERY.

I have searched and can't seem to find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
I am running cm7 nightly #116 and siyah Kernel (latest version)
I booted into clockwork recovery to do a nandroid backup, and when I performed a reboot afterward my internal SD was no longer visible from within the OS. My external SD card is mounted as /sdcard and there is nothing in /emmc. I tried removing my microsd and when the phone boots it does not see itself as having any SD storage. (neither internal nor external)
When a run a df -k from the terminal I do not see my sd cards partition.
However if I boot into clockworkmod recovery I can still browse the contents of my internal sd partition with no issues. (via flash zip from internal sd card) Does anyone know what could cause this or what method I should use to try and fix it? I believe my backup should be ok.... but I have no method of getting the files out of my internal sd because when I "mount usb storage" it only mounts the external sd.
Fixed. Formatted system and did an advanced restore from an old nandroid backup. Reboot and voila.

I am trying to create an sd-ext partiton so I can move applications and backup to that partition on my 4GB external SD card.
I've got ROM Manager 4.8.0.8 but when I select Partiton SD card it reboots and tries to reformat but I don't see anything on the Card just a LOST.DIR folder. I can't read the system messages when in Recovery mode cos it all happens so fast.
I tried via ADB and booted into recovery and selected the option to partition manually but still nothing. I reformatted the card with FAT32. Nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Just throwing something out there. Try rebooting into Clockwork Recovery. In CWR, go to Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Select the size. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't reboot your device (If I remember correctly). Take a look at the log (Advanced -> Show log).
Hopefully this helps a bit.
Hmmm he's right,you have to flash cwm first.
If your device is not listed in rom manager,find cwm for your device on xda and connect your device to the pc in fastboot mode,extract the zip and copy recovery.zip to the folder where fastboot on your pc is and give the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after flashing cwm,do as suggested
Also,you can partition it by downloading Easeus partition manager on your pc and choose the ext2 partition as the second one and a size of 512 mb is enough in most cases
go into CWM and select advanced thn move onto partition SD card
it would ask u how much space to partition after that select swap size as 642 or above and wait for few minutes.... remember tot ake a backup of ur SD card as all the data would be cleared while partitioning
Thanks. The first problem was that the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery 4.2 doesn't see my external SD card. No idea why. I used the 3.2 version which does see the external card and formatted the card first (after backing up!!). Then Advanced Partition SD card but I get a message saying : "Too many people have bricked their devices by doing this. Therefore this feature has been disabled."
I tried another Recovery Manager - Rogue Recovery and that showed messages saying it was formatting. I rebooted but when I looked at the SD card - nothing. However, I downloaded Easeus partition manager (looks good) and it showed that there is an sd-ext with a lost+found folder in it.
Is that normal? If yes then why didn't someone say that it would be invisible?!! If not, what happened?
Seems there are problems with the SD card. When I try to point TitaniumBackup to my SD card it sees the folders as Read Only. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18559 and http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18501. It was obviously a bit silly to call internal storage the same name as an external SD card. HD as in hard drive (I know its not) would be better. Or just Storage or whatever. NO doubt people have been accidentally formatting their internal memory instead of the card and that's why it was disabled in Clockwork Recovery. And by the way I'm using the hacked Android 4 - so the problem is still there even in 4 (Ice Cream)
The easiest way to get sd card partitioned is using Mini Partition Tool on PC.

Now does cwm also do the ext partition? and if not what program would work well I have a 2gb sd card for my samsung admire and I want to make a ext partition so i can move some more files to it.And later get larger card up to 16gb and do the same.
Thanks,
Doug
CWM (Indirect's Nook Tab Flasher) Internal will not mount SD card; however the SD Card version will mount the exact same card that the internal version won't mount (Just to keep it straight, the SD card with CWM boot is a different card then the card that will and won't mount. I take the CWM boot card out). To me, this implies that the card is formatted correctly. It is the same 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk card that I use in the tablet on a daily basis.
I have also tried manually mounting the SD card in CWM Internal. Will not mount.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct in assuming the card is formatted correctly? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
Edit--Solved--The problem occured because I was using QuickBoot to go into Recovery (CWM). I decided to turn my NT off and use Power + N. CWM booted, saw the SD Card and I was able to Backup.
Hi guys, first of all, congratulations on the excellent work!!!
I have this problem: I installed Neutrino Rom 2.9 on my motorola Atrix (at&t), but after the installation, the system seems not recognize my external sd card.
I try remounting it from the recovery, but the recovery can`t do it either.
I think the problem starts when the folder /system is formatted (if I manually do the format, the recovery stops mounting the sd card since that moment)
When I plug the phone to the computer the sd card is neither recognized. Only shows the internal sd card.
Anybody has the same problem? there exists any solution?
Thanks!
Quite frankly, it's kinda hard to imagine formatting /system would do this. It seems more likely your SD card is just borked somehow.
I'd put it in a card reader and plug it into the computer and run some filesystem checks if I were you.
I don't think the card is the problem. The phone recognizes it perfectly before flash the rom. Other roms that I tried also recognizes it.
Maybe i have to format the SD card to a specific filesystem to neutrino can mount it? Now is formatted in fat32.
Thanks!

I've been having no trouble with flashing roms from my external sd card. I'm looking to completely wipe my phone (internal and external sd cards) to get a fresh install. I formatted my external sd card (via the phone). I then connected it to my PC, copied over my rom and a wipe tool no problem. My phone reads the SD card fine when it's booted up, can see the rom i've copied over.
When I re-boot into recovery mode with CWM-based Recovery (v6.0.1.4 - siyah), it says "E:can't mount/external_sd/" when I try to find my rom to flash.
I'm wondering if the problem is the siyah thing, it's not the kernal i'm using, if was installed on my phone with a rom I no longer use. That said, it wasn't an issue before I formatted my external SD card.
I've just updated CWM to ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 which has got rid of the Siyah version. I've also formatted the SD card again as i've read that formatting via the phone changes the file format to something cwm doesn't like. I did it via PC, it's formatted at exfat. Still made no difference, CWM won't read it.
Might be a silly question but did you go into "mounts and storage" I. Cwm and check the external sd card is mounted?

I have tried that. It didn't work, it would give the same error. I have managed to get it to be read in CWM, I downloaded the ROM manager tool, used that to put a partition on the SD card. Then I was able to format the card via CWM. I've not had a chance to put my ROM back on the SD card and retry. One thing is, when I booted up the phone after formatting the card in CWM, the phone shows it as blank or has an unsupported file system, saying it needs to be formatted. I wonder why there is a conflict?
I needed to format the sd card on my pc, it needed to be fat32. All sorted now

If you really want exFAT, try Philz recovery linked in my signature. It is CWM but with loads of great extra features (including exFAT support).
I actually thought that exFAT support meant it can format in exFAT. I find it odd that exFAT is the native format that Samsung uses but CWM doesn't support it.
Personally I use FAT32 myself as my main computer is Linux and exFAT is too microsofty for it to recognise.
I've installed that and re-formatted my SD card into whatever Samsung uses (think it's exfat) as fat32 was making windows explorer slow and crash prone
sup guys am having a problem with my samsung galaxy s3,via E:can't something related to mount format.............i mount for mated ,anyone who know how i can fix it?
