Hello, I accidentially formated something I shouldn't and need one file to fix it, could someone upload their /etc/recovery.fstab file?
Thanks!
No one can pull this file?
It's really simple lol, I'm not asking for a lot.
I don't have such a file in my etc location

I think you can only acess it from recovery.
Thanks anyway for trying.
If anyone is wondering I formatted EVERYTHING on my devices and managed to fix it by flashing a full stock rom, but it messed up my microsd.
I can access it just fine if I boot the device from withing the device or mtp, or plug the microsd directly on my pc, but TWRP just doesn't see my sd card no matter what I do.
My guess is the mount points got messed up.
If anyone has any idea it'd be great!
Seems like I may not need that file after all but something like this:

Here. Remember to rename the file extension to fstab.

I used your file but seems like I need the main fstab file of kenzo, I don't even know if I'm correct.
With your file recovey shows the microsd card as 0mb and I can't mount it.
So I must have damaged something else.
Does kenzo have a vold.fstab file in /etc directory?
Mine doesn't.

Oh well.
If its only TWRP problem, then you can try flashing other TWRP versions.

I did just that, but that didn't help.
So it must be a phone wide issue.
I most likely deleted the mounting file, fstab I think it's called.

Fastboot ROM usually fixes such issues. If you can atleast see the external SD card in twrp as 0 mb, then there's some tutorials to fix that.

I fastbooted the latest beta I had 8.11.15, but that didn't fix it.
I can see the sd card once I'm booted but not on TWRP.
TWRP shows the sd card as 0mb like you said and I can't mount it.
Would you be kind enough to point me to one of those aforementioned tutorials you talked about?
Thanks.
I am not finding that. It was something related to formatting of the SD card from TWRP itself.

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.

REALLY REALLY need this so I can try to get my 64gb micro SDXC card to work on my CM9.... Can't find it anywhere on the Net either... Thanks in advance!!!
Anyone?
Afaik the Siyah-Kernel includes the driver in the newer versions.
You may need to manually mount the partition though, perhaps replacing vold by the Samsung-one is enough, perhaps not.

Yes, I have tried the new Siyah kernel, but I was still unable to use my 64gb SDXC card formatted via exFAT on it... Thus, I wanted to try the vold-exfat.zip file. Thanks!
Use a root explorer (eg the free 'ES Explorer'), make /system mounted read-write and go to /system/bin
Then rename the file 'vold' in 'vold.bak' and copy the attached one over. When done, reboot the phone.
It _SHOULD_ work, afaik replacing the vold is all the CWP-flashable ZIP did.
This one has been extracted from Omega 8.1 which is BLFB firmware.
Note that this file is NOT cwm-flashable, but it needs to be zipped so I can attach it!

I will report back, hopefully with good results!
Doh! Still crashes and the card doesn't appear. Thanks for the file, though!
Likewise, didn't work for me. The damaged sd card symbol disappeared. FC when tried to go into settings storage and wouldn't detect when hooked up by usb to computer. Running CM9 nightly.

I've used that vold file and attempted to flash after aokp flash but i'm getting 'installation aborted'.
Just about at the end of my tether with this :crying:
there must be some way to get a non-fat32 file system to work on this. Without that I might as well be back on my nokia n97!

Please read the damn post! The file is NOT CWM-flashable but needs to be extracted and manually inserted.
According to OP it won't work anyway.

NTFS works fine, as do FAT16, FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4
ExFAT (FAT64) filesystem support is flaky on all linux devices, don't bother with it.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding.
NTFS would be my preferred fs, but what im using (sgs3 aokp + siyah) will not read ntfs microsd. I will now google how to format it to the EXTs you mentioned.
It's supposed to work, but the automount may fail, in that case you'll have to manually mount the partition or create a script that does it for you.
Need some help getting my internal SD card to mount. Without it the phone is useless.
Can someone run the following command in terminal so I can try something to fix it?
busybox mount
then tell me where the sdcard0 is mounted:
For example:
/dev/block/void/179:65 on /storage/sdcard1
Just need the numbers.
Thanks!
I'm getting 179:38

The internal SD card will not mount. I cannot mount it under CWM either. Which means I cannot download any roms and flash either and RUU will not work.
Mount with in recovery or mount to PC because in a lot of cases you can mount to PC and reformat also good on you for knowing to check with busy box but just because address is screwed up doesn't mean you need a new phone. A few people have damaged internal and have been fine

I cannot get it to mount in recovery. When I try I get Error mounting /internal_sdcard!
Well you could try twrp recovery since its best suited for our phones. Every one who had corrupted internal so far has been able to mount to pc and reformat

Sorry I dozed off...didn't mean to just haven't been sleeping lately but glad to hear you got it, for future reference you can always fastboot anything to the phone
Just updated to this new rom and sd card don't show my pics thats's on the card. It was fine when i was on the 1.0. Can anybody give me some trouble shooting tips. I'm using the latest trwp and this is the only issue i'm having with this rom.
Usually means card is corrupt and needs to be reformatted. Can you mount to pc?

yes i can and when i went back to mean rom and the previous version or viper i have no problems. Only when i go to this version rom

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

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
