I feel pretty dumb asking this but here goes. When installing clockwork on the micro sd card that just assumes I am placing my micro sd directly into my pc to install the files, correct? The guide says to put the files on the micro sd card but I just Want to make sure I'm not supposed to do this with the micro sd card in the g-tab somehow. Also if anyone could point me to a video guide of how to install clockwork and then vegan I would love you forever. I feel like I could do it just fine but I'm one of those people that just needs extra clarification.
Merry Christmas!
It doesn't matter if you put the files on your sdcard from you tablet or your pc. It only matters that your sdcard has a file named update.zip on the root and a file named command in a recovery folder
/sdcard2/update.zip
/sdcard2/recovery/command

I previously had bricked my Xoom and was able to get it back to stock (with help from the forum). I then rooted it and was going to try flash BRD's Kernal, 3.1 update, bootloader, ect. I DL'd the files and saved them to my SD card. Popped the SD card in. Rebooted into Clockword and could not see my external SD to flash from. I went into the advanced setting in CWM and checked to see if the SD card was mounted... It wasn't. I don't even have the mount/unmount SD option anymore.
I went to the forums and kept getting looped back to the Clockwork Mod 3.2.0.0 thread. Is there a way to push this file through ADB? I'm new to ADB so I don't know if it's even possible. If so which file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to the post, I can't see the external card anywhere. Not in the file manager or on my PC, via USB. I've formatted the SD card in my Droid 2 and my PC. That's all that I can think of to add to this.
You can push the recovery in fastboot. Make sure your CWM is version 3, not the version 4. Get it from the forums, in fact the link in my sig for all 20 stock images has everything you need.

if you loaded 4.0.0.4 already and if you have rom manager you can scroll to the bottom and choose "All ClockworkMode Recoveries" and choose 3.0.2.5, then go to thread i linked and flash that..
Thats how far my knowledge goes
Hope it helps
I've copied Turkawa's post as an alternative to pushing files through adb. If you go the adb route you need to download all of the necessary files on your computer. Also make sure to only flash the image file (.img) not a zip file through adb.
Good luck!

If you can't see your SD card anywhere that is problem number one. If you have a SD card in your droid2, put it in the xoom while it is powered off and boot into clockwork. If you can read the card you have narrowed your problem to the card itself. Try using Panasonic SD formatter (Google for the free app) to format the card and try again.
Please could someone tell me which files i would need to copy across to from current sd card running in sensation xe over to new SD Card to keep system running correctly. So that i can format the old car and make sure i have the updated new files without clutter on new SD card.

Hi,
Copy the whole card over to your PC/laptop (using ctrl+a and ctrl+c )
Then,format your card to FAT32 .
Put back the files you want(music,pix,backups,docs,etc.)
Then put your card back in your phone.
Android will put back the files/folders it needs,and you are good to go.
If you did forget anything,you should still have a copy of it on your PC/laptop.
Yep, that's the best method. You don't need an adapter, either - just plug your phone into your computer via USB and mount 'as disk drive' and you're good to go.
I have a couple MIcroSD cards that i can't seem to get to work right with my transformer prime. When i add either of them in the microSD slot or into an adapter then into the keyboard, Astro File Manager will see them and i can go in and see the files (which are zipped ROMs). When I go into ROM Manager and try to flash a ROM from the SD card they do not show up... I am wondering if they need to be formatted differently, or what...
Side question: i was using TWRP up until it asked me for a password which i dont remember setting so I cant really use it, i am wondering why this is happening and if it might have something to do with incorrect partitions / file format on the microSD card.
Thanks
I'm not sure if recovery programs can read the micro sd card yet. I know that clockwork mod for tf201 could not. Your best bet is to place the zip on your internal storage and flash it from there (assuming that you can still boot).
I'm afraid I dont know anything about twrp passwords... but you could try using fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Don't ask.
Yesterday I accidentally moved my micro sd contents from my card to my internal sd.
(thought I was copying to subfolder but somehow was not paying attention I guess)
I realized it today when I couldn't boot into CWM recovery.
I'm thinking I need to move clockworkmod folder and TitaniumBackup folder to micro sd?
also I have a su file and an update zip that created it, with yesterday's date - does that go over to the micro also?
I guess anything else might not matter?
OK, this qualifies - nominate me for asshat award

You should, Micro SDcard is a safe place to keep all stuff you mentioned above.
I'm having the worst time trying to find out how to friggin' backup my phone to my external sd card. For some reason, I can do it to my internal storage, but have no way of getting it backed up to my external SD card. I can see the option to select it, but I can't actually select it. I think I have to create a folder on my external SD card for the root but I just can't figure it out. Does the whole entire SafeStrap file need to be copied over to my SD cars as well with a repeat process of installing it the same way in which I did for the internal storage too?
Have you tried backing it up then manually copy pasting it to your sd card?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
I have not, as I assumed that while that might be an option, that if I cannot select the external storage option then something is wrong with SafeStrap. If all I have to do is manually copy it over to my external SD card, and with that done Safestrap can still function OK, then that is what I can do. I thought there was something smaller I might have been missing, so I wanted to make sure it was done accurately. Thanks for the input!
EDIT: My real worry with this, is that if I cannot select external SD storage, then how will I select the files I need to install when flashing ROM? I don't have enough space on my internal storage for the files, and would have to put them onto my external SD card, but if I can't select it then I have no clue how I'll be able to flash the ROM.

I thought I had the same issue and mashed the radio button a bunch of times out of frustration and it eventually worked. It's like the touch isn't as responsive in that area of the screen when in SS.
Well, I got the ROM to work. Since my internal storage is only 5 GB, I couldn't leave both the backup file and the ROM zip files on the same storage device, so I moved the backup manually to my external SD and left the ROM.zip on my internal. I flashed them, got the ROM to work but when I opened it up and booted, as I expected, the phone is like new (nothing installed like I originally had it). Well, I can't restore the backup since it is on my external SD card and since I can't still select that option under SafeStrap, I'm kind of in a pickle here. As well, I my computer couldn't recognize my phone either when on the new CM10 ROM. I'm just going ROM this weekend. If any of you have any clue how to get my computer to recognize my phone when booted on the CM10 ROM, or know how to get SafeStrap to allow me to select my external SD card for storage etc I would much appreciate it!!
