it says sd card has been removed, even though it's there..
but if i really remove the sd, the phone notifies me that i removed the sd.
when i use card reader, the computer recognizes it..

can you open the sd with a partitioning.exe and delete the main partition in order to recreate a new one ?

so if you flash another ROM ... does it detects you SD ?
did you flashed the hotfix?4
edit : i'm thinking about something...
you are using stock kernel or D4/zombiepanic ?
stock kernel : flash modules
custom : do not flash

well, i came from stock 2.1 eclair.. rooted it, installed clockwork module, then did this:
Download GDX_XXX.zip to your sdcard storage on your Xperia X10 Mini Pro
Boot into Recovery through whatever method you choose
Back up your existing installation
Use the volume keys to select Factory Reset and push home button
Select Install Zip from SD Card
Find the GDX_XXX.zip file you downloaded earlier
Scroll through and hit Yes, install GDX_XXX.zip
Wait for the installation to finish
Select Reboot
After initial reboot, reboot a second time and you're all set.
everything is fine except that it doesnt detect sd..
i have just read that i shouldnt install the re-up version..
re up for unlocked bootloaders add modules for not unlocked ok bro pm me if your stuck try format on pc not phone kk

so now you just need to flash GDX modules if what eyama said is the truth
if it doesn't work, flash v14 and not v14 re-up

ok im new to this and i have done some looking but still need some basic info ,,
i have root on my i717, flashed the overclock kernel , and installed CWR , now i need to know how to use clock works ,,
i keep seeing diff mods , " flash with CWR " but it has no exp on how to flash with CW , So how do you do this ?
use the phone down load ship goin in to cwr and find the zip and install ? how and wher to do this i need more detail , or can you flash all this with odin ?
any help would be great ? and when i get into this more i will be glad to send funds to developers via paypal ex
a link for dummies would work as well
thanks
CWM is super easy to use......go the OP of the CWM beta1 thread and he elxplains the ins and outs of getting into CWM. once your in it....all you have to do is have the file at the root of the SD card and go to install zip/install zip of SD/ then choose the zip and flash.
i do not have the beta on my phone yet, but i would just check the OP he seems to have laid it out pretty well.
You dont even need to have the file anywhere special on your SD card either. Just somewhere where you can find it because once you select install zip from sd card you have to navigate where you put it.

If you didn't put a microSD card in your phone for extra storage it won't have a "external SD" folder.
I do have a 16g sd , it has the. Ext sd card fie but was not there

Ok well open up the "my files" app and scroll down to see if a "external_sd" folder exists. If it isn't there then go to settings -> storage, and make sure the SD card is mounted.
If you download a Rom directly from your note it should be in a folder called "download"

Well "my files" shows the sd card, and the settings only shows unmount option for safe removel, so I'm sure its mounted

Not sure if I should have created a new thread for this but here goes. I flashed CWR through Odin yet when I go into recovery it's still stock recovery?
Did I do something wrong, I got success in Odin?
EDIT: I figured it out, my bad.

first tell me what you mean by not picking your sd card ?
do this
1. boot into recovery
2. wipe data
3.wipe cache
4. mounts and storage > wipe system
flash the rom again
wipe cache
advanced > wipe dalvik
reboot

check 2 things
1. flash this cwm again
2. or check your sd card via sd card reader if somehow it got corrupted
I have checked sd card and boots fine and its readable and writeable i have also re-flashed cwm via odin and still the same:crying:

From the topic on Touch recovery 5.8.4.3:
Please note that this version will not install zip files from the External SD Card. If you need to do that then flash the modded CWM (non touch) from Chainfire.

So you use recovery 5.8.4.5 (which have a bug with backup of data partition)
As far as I know 5.8.4.3 does not support flashing zip file from external sdcard...

Have you install recovery 5.8.4.3 by yourself?
If No, then maybe it is included in the rom you flash last time...
phone has been rooted and recovery mode done since i first got my phone around 5 weeks ago i have never updated it as always worked fine and found ext sd card i only came across this issue when flashing the ics re-birth v2.1 if this is the case i believe they should warn people unless they did and i didnt read properly first
thanks again to both of you for your input in helping me get back up and running

Hello!
So, I have a "little big" problem over here.. I rooted my SGS3, so I could install new roms.. Until here, its all ok..
But then, i downloaded Android Revolution HD 2.1.0 and a script, from the same developer, to wipe stuff before flash the rom..
I've placed 2 rom zip files , 1 at the internal storage, and another at the SD card, just to make sure everything would be good. I flashed the wipe script, as the developer told to, at his thread.. And here comes the problem: The script wiped ALL the internal storage and i dont have access to the SD card via recovery.. Now my celphone is stuck at CWM or Download Mode.. i've PMed some developers and got some help, but i'm not really sure on what to do.. please help me if you can.. i need my phone back thanks!
Re root your s3 via tar file
Pc odin
That way u will get your cwm back
And take out ur sd card and place the rom zip file again in ur external sd..
And flash
I don't understand, why you don't have access to your external SD Card, is the option to flash from ext SD hidden?
(install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard)

I actualy have the CWM.. but it only gives me access to the internal storage.. not the external.. and i have no way to push files into internal storage.. :/
Maybe pushing files using ADB ?
Connect phone with pc
Start adb
adb push romfile.zip /sdcard/romfile.zip
give it a try

Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> nothing, only "Clockworkmod/", with a "backup/" inside.. but there is nothing inside the backup one.. D: and i'm sure the zip file is there.. i pushed it in there via PC, using the adaptor..
Oh, i also have a nandroid backup on my computer.. i made it with the SGS3 kit.. it has this files inside: " Boot(image), cache.ext4.zip, data.ext4.zip, nandroid.md5, recovery(image) and system.ext4
Are you sure, the script didn't format the extSD, too? Try to connect sdcard with adapter and copy rom file again

A bit new to this, but already a ROM-flashing addict.
I've been having some stability issues with sbreen94's fantastic Hyperdrive ROM. On both RLS 4 & RLS 5. It looks like I'll install things correctly, and the system will reboot, but upon the second reboot of the system I'll consistently bootloop and be stuck on the Samsung Custom Unlocked screen. Has anyone on this forum resolved a similar issue? A friend of mine suggested that it's because I'm loading the ROM zip file onto my SanDisk micro SD card, and then flashing from that. However, I both md5 checked the original download, and the version loaded onto my microsd card.
Thanks for the help!
You must flash a loki kernel. Try a different one. Also you can flash a rom from the extsdcard...so your friend is wrong there.

Thanks. Yes, I'm using the latest TWRP. I suppose I can switch over to CWM and see if that's more stable. Is it true that I can just flash the CWM mod directly from TWRP recovery? What will happen to my TWRP backups?
The backups are compatible, you'll be ok. And yes you can flash the recovery right from twrp..
I always download the roms on my laptop and then moved to the ext sdcard and i dont have any problem....
I download, flash, backup, and restore all from my phones external SD. I keep the OG stock backup on internal storage for unexpected emergencys....
I do this on my phone and tablet, so using the external SD card is just fine.
i flash from the sd card using twrp, no issues at all.
Bad downloads maybe. Always check the MD5 before flashing. You can use "Android file verifier" to check on device.
