[Q] E: Cant mount /sdcard - CWR - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys and gals. I'm a complete newb when it comes to tinkering with Android, I have a little experience with iProducts as I have mucked around with them for a while. Jailbreaking an iProduct is piss easy compared to this!
I have just unlocked & flashed my Xoom with JWTylers One click method here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
All works well. In the 'about' section it showed the Tiamat kernel to be 1.1.6, or something like that. I also downloaded Rom Manager and flashed CWR through it. What I wanted to achieve was external sdcard functionality, so I tried reflashing with this step to 1.3.1 ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13036180&postcount=497
Worked a peach.
So, I did everything step by step, and created a new folder called 'sdcard2' in the sdcard directory. After finishing everything I downloaded the 1.3.2 zip and moved it from downloads to sdcard2 folder with Root Explorer? Ran the CWR recovery and when I go to press the flash zip from sdcard I get an error: E: Cant mount /sdcard".
I dont have an sdcard in the slot while I'm doing this, so, I don't know if this is the cause.
Any help to explaining this would be great!

Hey, just flash the new Timat kernal 1.4.0 and download auto mount from the market and your set!

Hi, thx for your reply. Can I just download the file directly to'my downloads folder on my Xoom, like I did in the second link I pasted in my post, and follow those steps? I also mentioned that I don't have an sdcard inserted. Would this make any difference as to why I'm getting the error message in CWR?

You need an sd card, that is probably why you got the error.

Appreciate your help. I'll be getting my sdcard soon, I hope it works.
I also did download an auto mount program from market. What is it exactly suppose to do? It had one option at the top to tick which was to auto mount, and that was it. I suppose it runs in the background doing it's thing?

OK. I got the sdcard working, I flashed to 1.3.2.
I can transfer stuff onto my sdcard2 within my xoom and it will show when i insert the card into my PC. It won't work the other way around though. I can't get the files to show up in root explorer, or with any media player even if its a video file. Why is that? Is there a work around?
All help appreciated.

You have to reboot the xoom for them to show up.

This sort of happened to me before. try downloading and installing the file attached. It should do the trick. N.B- You need to have root access.
ok thanks. I have root access (i think, fairly new to all this, apologies).
How do I run the file??
Thanks.
sorry to be a pain

Boot your phone (make sure the file is on your phone), then simply select the file and follow the onscreen instructions. After that, select it's icon in the menu and choose to allow it to automatically operate when USB is connected. Then just allow root access and you're good to go. Try your rom flashing again and it should be successful.
hey
thanks for your help, but I currently have no ROM / OS installed on the phone, so can only boot into recovery / fastboot etc.
not into android os.

Since you can boot into recovery and access your phone from your computer, then just flash the stock windows mobile rom to your phone. I think that would work and it does make sense. If it does work then you can continue doing what you want after you have done it.
Do you mean flash it via fastboot? I'm sturuggling to get files across from my pc... sorry to be a pain...
I can access the SD card to drag files in recovery. but cant isntall from the sd on my phone.
tried flashing files direct to phone with fastboot but coundt. probably just got it wrong. gahhh.

Have you tried a different SD Card or a sdhc card? One of them might help.
I haven't tried another card yet no.
I need to purchase one first, hopefully will get chance this week.
Any links to best guide to make a goldcard btw?
Thanks.

[Fix]EE4 sdcard write protection for root users

XDA developers, Kejar, nor I are responsible for anything you do to your phone so as always use with care​
For those of you using a custom kernel with Build EE4 to gain root and have run into the Write protection pop up when trying to transfer files to your sdcard.
sdcard patch:
simply download below
place on sdcard
and flash using clockwork
All credit to Kejar , so please remember to thank him

After first running this patch, the first time I plugged it in the usb storage option popped up, but then never came up again. I ended up having to go into Setting>USB Settings while the phone was unplugged and changing it to "Ask on Connection" and it works perfectly. When the "Mass Storage" Option is selected, Windows recognizes the phone as a cd rom. Thanks for all your work DroidXCon, Kejar, and everyone else.
How to Save it on SD when Its readonly
If the SD card is in read only mode, then how can I save the zip on sd card? Also the usb is not recognized because iof it being a read only mode

I would suggest putting the file on the SDcard before you update or pull the sdcard out and use a micro USB card reader to put it on.

You can unmount the SDCard and push the file to the SDCard via adb. The SDCard is only read-only when it is mounted as mass storage. I have a feeling that this change is going to cause a few short-term issues with custom kernels at some point, but only time will tell.
BTW - TY to kejar & DroidXcon, regardless of how easy a fix is or isn't they still deserve all the props and I will gladly donate the macchiatos to the guys, consider it done
imnuts, I know you are working on an update to your debloated ROM, likely built off of EE4, will you be using a custom kernel in yours or stock until we know if it will cause issues?

My card wasn't really read only, just not accessible via usb. I just downloaded the file via my DC browser and it saved to the card no problem
Orrrr. Just send the download link to your phone via email or whatever method you choose. Then use your supa fast 4G facemelter to download the file on your phone and then go into CWM and flash it.
Quick (noob) Question. When going to apply this patch in CWM, do you use the "apply patch option" or "zip to apply". Literally popped my rooting cherry an hour ago. Everything works besides SD Card being Read Only Status. Thanks in advance.
1) download the sdcard fix from here and rename the file to update.zip
2) place update.zip in the adb platforms tools directory, where the adb command exits.
3) with USB mass storage off, I used ADB shell to push the file from the host computer to the Charge into the root folder of the SD card, /sdcard
(this assumes you don't have any file named update.zip already in the root of your sdcard)
adb devices
adb push update.zip /sdcard
adb reboot recovery
4) CWR should run and now you use the menu to apply update.zip.
Thanks OP.
Now I'm experiencing something slightly different...and this fix isn't helping.
Since the day I got the charge I've had issues writing to it in windows, wasnt til yesterday I started to really question more so why...thinking it was just a cheap card going bad.
I rooted the phone the day I got it, everything worked fine except being able to write to the sd card when mounted. Now I wasnt getting write protection, I was more so getting windows locking up, and things of that nature (thinking bad card right).
Yesterday I unrooted, and updated to ee4. it does the auto mount thing now, I mounted and was able to transfer 200 and some songs to the card, no issues.
Rooted late last night now running the debloated ee4, with pb&j kernel (voodoo enabled) and tried to move some icons over and unzip them, and it failed again, with io errors in the logs...
Anyone have any thoughts on this one...
I was able to just plug my microSD card into a card reader to my laptop, and drop the zip file in there. booted into CWR and flashed the update. Worked like a charm. Thanks!!!
My way of testing was to take a screenshot. and verify that it was in the screencapture directory.
Cheers!
No more root
So I installed cwr w Odin, then pb andj kernal w car and the fix w cwr and rebooted. Checkedrootchecker and o was root checked. Then I flashed debloated eel and it worked but now I have no root access. Root heck says busy box is installed correctly but it says "su binary not found in the system declared path??
Thanks

Hmmm, strange. Try reflashing PBJ. If that doesn't work, try flashing GummyCharged and see if that helps?
Isn't that another rom? Don't I have to be rooted first?

[Q] "E: Can't open /sdcard/tiamat-xoom-rom-2.2.1.moray.zip (bad)"!!

MZ601 Xoom on 3.1HC wifi + 3G rooted using Universal Xoom Root. Now wish to be able to use USB Host mode. Have followed the instructions in [ROM] Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray [18/9/11] including performing a factory reset (Wipe data/factory reset) from within recovery, and then selected "Install zip from sdcard" and selected the Tiamat zip file. The system reports that it is opening the file but then immediately aborts with the above message.
Assuming that the download was not successful I then downloaded again, went through the whole procedure again but came up with the same error. Hmmm this is a bit of a mystery.
So, is 2.2.0 a prerequisite of 2.2.1 and should I have tried to flash that first? Or could there be something else that this old fart is missing? I guess it must be the latter judging by all the success stories on here. Can somebody please help?

So, just to clarify, you are rooted and attempting ti install the Moray Rom, and your Xoom is giving you an error that it can't access the sdcard to flash the Moray file.
My first question is, what version of CWM recovery are you using and is your Moray file on your external micro sdcard which is inserted in your Xoom?
It sounds like you are trying to flash from the Xoom's internal "sdcard" which doesn't work (unless you have the Rogue recovery installed).
Thanks for your reply.
Regarding the recovery mode version, in recovery mode my Xoom tells me "Clockwork Recovery V3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150).
Using "My Files", I have confirmed that the Zip file doesn't exist on the "Internal" storage, but does exist on the external SD card. This is where the Universal Xoom Root zip file sits and where it was installed from. The root zip file installed smoothly, and as far as I know I followed the exact same steps in trying to install the new rom. So I remain confused.
Once again thanks for your reply and any further help will be appreciated.

Ok, Sounds like you should be set regarding recovery. I'm pretty sure that you should be able to go right to Moray 2.2.1.
First, confirm that your sdcard is good and working properly by inserting it into a phone or a card reader. It could be as simple as a bad card. Also, you could redownload the file, but I think it's most likely your sdcard.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I replaced the SD card with another from my mp3 player and checked it out by loading up a song and playing it. No problems. So then I moved the zip file for the rom (which I had previously re-downloaded) over to the root of the sd card from my PC and proceeded through the steps again. Failed again. The message sequence reads:
--Installing: /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-rom-2.2.1-Moray.zip
Finding update package... (So its gone looking)
Opening update package... (And it is found?)
E:Can't open /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.1.Moray.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Hmmm. Just to check that the sd card is still viable, after reboot went back to "files", sdcard, music and selected a song and it played as normal. Also checked that the Tiamat rom zip file is on the card and yep, it is. So tomorrow morning I will download the zip file once again and retry. If you can think of anything else it will be much appreciated.
Irobbie.
If you can check to make sure the downloaded file is the right size that will be great. also make sure that you don't add another.zip file extension on the end, somehow. Some pcs are set up to hide file extensions and that's been a problem a few have encountered.
The mystery deepens! Well, for me at least.
Re: zip file extra extension, have show extensions switched on, and there is no extra extension.
So on to file size, it looks the same to me on each download so I went a bit further. I noticed the link to the file has a MD5sum check noted. So I downloaded an open source file "Sigma Informatics Checksum calculator", pointed it to the rom zip file and ran the check, and then cut and pasted the original number from the thread and got the calculator to do a check. Bingo - exactly the same!
So then copied the file from the Xoom back to the PC, ran the same checks and got different answer!
OK, I deleted the rom zip file from the Xoom, copied another over from the PC, then recopied it back to the PC to a different location, ran the check sum, got the correct answer, so now I knew I had a correct file on the Xoom.
Next, reran the installation of the Rom - failed again with the same results and messages as before.
Then copied the Rom zip file back to the PC to another location, ran the checksum and different answer popped out again. Well, could it be that the zip file is being corrupted during the install and that is why it fails? I've never heard of that sort of thing happening before but I suppose it is possible.
Your continued support is much appreciated.
It seems like I have heard of this happening, but why? What would cause that? Can you use a different method to copy the Rom file to the sd card? Using an adapter, and inserting the card directly into the sd slot of the pc? Download right onto the card?
Thanks for the reply and suggestions again.
To make absolutely sure I eliminated everything possible; I went out and bought a new micro sd card, and card reader with a micro sd card slot. Plugged it altogether into the pc and copied over a copy of the rom zip file.
Then did a checksum check on the file on the sd card and it was fine.
So, holding breath, puff, puff, puff, started the procedure all over again.
SUCCESS! It all went as smooth as silk! Thanks for your help and suggestions. But now I am left with a concern about where the problem really was - was it in the copying of the file onto the card through the Xoom, or was it, in fact, a bad card? I don't want to discard the card because it seems to be o.k. in every other respect so I think a little play around is in order. I think in all probability you are right in questioning the process I was using before, and recommending that the file be copied directly to the sd card.
But in the meantime I'm off to explore the new rom and in particular USB hosting.
Yes! I love success!
Enjoy.

[Q] Can't find zip in recovery mode when trying to install rom

Hi All.
I'm new to this and trying to install my first rom (aiming for cynagenmod 7- it has the language support i need, or so they say)
I rooted my phone and followed a yourtube video titled "How To Install CyanogenMod 7 Nightly on T-Mobile G2x after Nandroid Backup"
When i get to the part where i need to install zip from sd card, i can't find the file. I went back and copied the zip file into a few different folders, and although i can locate the folders, it tells me that the file cannot be found.
How do i get around this? Your help is much appreciated.

How did you download it? Through rom manager or from the phones xda app, browser? Look in folders with xda or rom manager?? Next time just copy and paste it to the root of the sdcard, not in a folder.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Downloaded it on a computer and then copied it to sd card
and you can't find where you put it? did you place it in a certain folder already created... you can plug your phone in to pc then enter recovery mode, go to storage and mounts at the bottom select mount usb then copy the zip to your sdcard in no folders.
When i try to do that t tells me unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory).
From recovery mode there are some folders i can't see when i browse the folders on the computer when the phone is booted up normally - and vice versa. Is this an indicaiton of a problem?
Silly question: do you actually have an SD card inserted in your phone? If so, what did you use to format it?
i do have an sd, and i actually didn't format it. should i format? if so, what is the best way?

Did you try, while in recovery, taking the back off your phone, pop out the sd card, wait 1 second, then pop it back in?
Stupid question, but it's a mistake some beginners make, but did you unzip it by any chance? That could be a reason CWM isn't seeing it. Once you DL the ROM you need to leave it untouched. Then place on SD.
After that in CWM go to choose zip from sd.
And you attained CWM via NVFlash correct?

Maybe you accidentally copied it to internal memory instead of the sdcard. You can check in cwm under internal sdcard I believe is what it is called.
When you connect the phone through USB it mounts both internal and the sdcard.

My file explorer sees it in both the root and the folder I created in the root - both can't be seen in recovery mode.

you may have put it on the "internal sd card" instead of external sd card, however this is not an issue if you flash CWM 5.0.2.0 or later, it has an option to install zip from internal sd and external. i renamed my external sd card to avoid future confusion (otherwise i see two "removable disks" when i plug my phone into my computer)
Check your file names on your SD card. Check what you see listed in Recovery. If you see differing file names, then you're accessing the wrong memory.
I'm going to assume you tried booting with the physical buttons. Try booting with CWM which should give you a blue menu.
i did try to boot both ways and both times i did not find it... for the millionth time i took the sd card out and put it back in and rebooted using cwm, and funny enough, it found the direcotry... and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, cynagenmod7 is my new rom
thanks for all your help, support and commiseration... really, much appreciated. i do ve a few more issues that i have to research now... again, external sd not found though... will probably solicit more help
again, thanks

Don't unzip the file. When you flash anything via clockwork, it flashes using .zip files.

[Q] I screwed up (Solved)

I was trying to update a friends transformer to ICS (revolver) and I forgot that you have to put the zip on the internal storage (at least that's the only way I know how to do it) I'm using roach CWM based 5.5.0.4, I was playing around in there and, this is where I really screwed up, wiped /system. I have adb access and I'm in recovery but there's no rom installed on the tab because of me wiping /system. The rom is on the sd card (not the internal storage labeled as sdcard, an actual sd card). I tried pushing it from adb but I was probably doing it wrong. I was looking for a way to mount the internal storage but I didn't see any. I've tried several options but none have worked so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
so why don't you just install the rom from the microSD?
You have a 5.xxx recovery, and that allows you to install zips from microSD. Just pop that into a PC and copy the rom file on it. Select install from microsd and there you go...
PS: wiping /system doesn't format the internal storage...

I have the rom on the external sd card. I tried the flash from sd and it was looking at the internal "virtual" sd card. I didn't see an option to switch to the external sd and I think there are some recoverys that use the external sd as default but I haven't been able to find one. If I did find one it would have to be an image so I could flash it through bootloader.
I was looking for a .img file to flash through bootloader but couldn't find one of those. I tried adb push to get the .zip onto the internal storage but, and I'm sure I was doing something wrong, that didn't work.
wait wait wait... just to clarify, are you using the full size sd card on the dock?
LE: what's your sbk version? if you're sbk1, you can also use nvflash

I think the guy said MicroSD up there, the one you inserted on the side. But the onboard CWM only detect the internal virtual SDcard.
Now he screwed because of the full wipe prior flashing while the intended Rom was placed in the MicroSD..
Yea, if the transformer comes with B70 or below, then you can use Flash to do the magic.

wait wait wait... just to clarify, are you using the full size sd card on the dock?
LE: what's your sbk version? if you're sbk1, you can also use nvflash

no, no dock. I'm using the external micro sd.
So I finally got it to push, I renamed the file ics.zip because I didn't feel like typing out the whole file name and because I used .zip at the end the file was actually ics.zip.zip, that's why it couldn't find it.
cmd says:
C:\Transformer>adb push ics.zip /sdcard
1333 KB/s <268182367 bytes in 196.431s>
It pushed but now I just tried "choose zip from sdcard" and I got "couldn't open directory. No files found"
Edit: For some reason nothing was showing up at all on the internal storage so I rebooted back into recovery and all the files that were there before returned. I didn't see my ics.zip in there though which was odd but in searching through the folders i found an older version of a rom I flashed on there when I first rooted it. It's on the welcome screen right now.
Thanks for your input, you were most helpful.
BTW, I did research and the problem is solved now, you'd have noticed if you read.

I can't read the future.
And no you didn't research anything.
Any ADB guide would tell you to push files to /data/media for internal storage, not /sdcard

Once again, thanks for your assistance /sarcasm

Hm interesting... Why wouldnt you be able to push to /sdcard/ (notice the extra slash)?
Is that folder not mounted correctly while in recovery? Ive never tried ADB in recovery, only in android and push to /sdcard/ works just fine.
pushing anything to /sdcard does not work though (notice the lack of the extra slash). Might be my rom but doubt it since its the same on my phone and other tablet...
Like you said, /sdcard is wrong.
The correct paths are /sdcard/, /data/media, and /data/media/.
Most ADB guides posted on this forum use /data/media(/) though.

So much fail in this thread.
1. Because his version of CWM doesn't support microSD
2. Since when does 5.xxx recovery support installing from MicroSD?
3. wiping /system doesn't format internal storage but it wipes out the OS so there is no OS to boot into.
The correct path for pushing files to internal storage on TF101 is /data/media
Do some friggin research before you do things, wow.

1.&2. his version might not support it and since i'm using Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7), i just thought being v5 it would. It was just a fast answer, no need for your superiority complex.
3. *you don't say meme*
Your sarcasm doesn't work because I wasn't trying to assist.
I was just pointing out what an idiot you are.

Don't help if you don't feel to.. With your high in moron wouldn't do good for the public seeking for assistant here.

There are a lot of people like him in all the forums, it's best just to walk away. I'm not new but I wasn't thinking clearly due to lack of sleep. Also the tf101 wasn't mine, I forgot how Asus had the storage set up, and I was thinking it would have the same path whether you were booted or through ADB. I knew I screwed up, that's why I said it right in the title. Oh well, it's fixed now. The problem is that a lot of people turn developers and newbies away by acting like that.
