[Q] Mounting SDCARD issues

I am looking over how I'll recover my gtab in an emergency, and I have moved a backup I have done in Clockwork mod to the MicroSD card I received recently. Today I booted into ClockWork mod, and tried to mount the 'external' card with "mount /sd-ext" and get this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
Am I doing something wrong here?

i beleive that in the case you are preparing for what you would do is backup the file to a computer. When you need to copy it back to the device for restoring you would enter CWM and mount usb under mounts/storage and plug your tab into your computer using the smaller usb port on the tab. this will allow for copying from your computer to the internal memory of the tablet. then you can unmount usb and restore your backup. If i'm wrong someone please correct me.

Ah yesh just tried that with mine in CWM, man CWM is several layers of awesome!

[Q] a problem: can't mount sd card

Hi guys,
I try unsuccessfully to install rom CM7 on my Motorola Defy.
I rooted the phone and used SndInitDefy 1.4.2 to install the CWM recovery version 2.5.1.8.
On the CWM recovery, when I choose "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card", i get this message:
Code:
e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/clock/mmcnlk0)
not such file or directory
e: can't mount /sdcard
I tried it with 2 different sd cards. Of course the computer and the phone (when its on) recognize the cards as well.
What am I doin wrong?
thanks for your help.

A new problem:so I burn with rsd a new firmware: this.
I successfully mount the sd card and install the cm7 rom.
When I rebooted my phone, I had the cm7 welcome screen and...that's all. I only have the welcome screen with the circle and the rotating arrow. it stuck. I can't turn off the phone or enter again to recovery, even when I take off the battery and turn on again.
Please, what could I do to fix it?

[Q] SGS Flash ROM with no USB

Hi all,
I have recently flashed RevolutionROM with Galaxian kernel onto my SGS I9000.
I then flashed Darky's ROM 10.2.2 to my wife's phone (same model) and love it so want to flash it to mine too. So I need to flash Darky's Resurrection 10.2 first but can't get any PC (I've tried 3 of them - 2 with Ubuntu Linux and 1 with Windows 7) to recognise the phone over USB.
I plug in the USB and it vibrates and charges, but I get nothing on the phone display (i.e. USB mass storage screen) and the PC doesn't detect it at all.
I also tried it in Download mode but it was again not detected by the PC (Heimdall).
I'm figuring there is something wrong with the physical USB connection in the phone, as the same cable and PC worked on my wife's phone just yesterday.
So, a couple of questions:
1. Any suggestion for how to fix the USB issue?
2. Assuming I can't figure out the USB issue, is there any way to flash a ROM without USB connectivity?
thanks
Aaron

Anyone? Thanks

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on your pc?

Hi,
Thanks, I appreciate your response but ask that you read my original post again - as i stated I tried it on 3 different PCs and that my wife's phone is detected fine.
It seems to be moot now unfortunately as I think I may have bricked my phone last night. I tried restoring a previous nandroid backup via CWM recovery and ended up in a boot loop. I was able to get back to recovery but now when I try to do anything I just get a heap of error messages saying it's unable to mount/find various filesystem locations.
I can get into download mode but without access by USB it is no help to me.
cheers
Aaron

Your device is not bricked. As long as you can get into recovery mode, you are fine. Have you tried using a new SD card, placing a rom on it then flashing it via CWM Recovery?

Thanks Theonew. Can you help me with how to go about that?
When I go into CWM recovery and try to restore a backup it simply shows several messages on the screen basically saying it can't mount or find any of the locations it's looking for (sorry I'm at work and don't have it with me to get the exact error messages) then returns to the recovery menu.
With that, I made the (possibly incorrect) assumption that the recovery is not going to be able to access any ROM that I might be able to put on the external SD card (and certainly not on the internal SD card).
If there's a way to do it though, I'm keen to give it a try. I have a 2GB external card that I can place a ROM on, but how would I get CWM recovery to flash it from there?
thanks
Aaron

Now that I'm back from work, here's the error messages I am consistently getting in CWM recovery.
Pretty much anything I try to do results in a variation of these errors appearing:
This one was after trying to apply update.zip from sd card.
Code:
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/update.zip]
E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]

Try looking for the zip of the rom instead of the update.zip (install zip from SDcard -> Choose zip from SDcard)
Best bet is just put a new ROM in the root (i.e not in any folder) and look for it and flash make sure to clear out all the old stuff.

Hi, thanks again for the response. There are no actions I can take in CWM that don't result in the errors and failure (except reboot and test keys!)
I can't access anything that is stored as it's not mounting any partitions.
I can't add anything to the root because my USB isn't working.
thanks
Aaron

Thanks again. How? I can't find any solutions that don't require USB.

Use rom manager. Just hope that you don't get the error during flashing.

Thanks but I can't get into the OS at all, it's boot looping unless I get into download or recovery.

Error meesage: failed to mount sdcard

Under the development section I want to use the [ROM/UPDATE] Android Honeycomb 3.2.2 - Stock & Rooted.
I am trying to apply the zipfile through android recovery and I keep getting the same message...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
I have used a couple of different Micro SD cards. The cards mount and work fine normally.
Any suggestions

Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed? If so what version? They don't all read the external sdcard.

[SOLVED] super wiped -> cannot mount/access sdcard -> bricked?

hi, help would higly be appreciated because i think i bricked my beloved tf101g ;(
while testing some roms i used the Super Wipe Full from mike1986 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892). this script failed - i don`t know why but (sh)it happend.
So my tf (b80, ww-epad-9.2.2.6-20120525) is wiped,
- no rom to start (last bevor wipe was CM10B2 - i think)
- cwm v5.8.1.8 touch starts but
- tells me: e:can`t mount /sdcard/
i spended hours on reading hundrets of "cannot mount" threads here but found no solution to my special situation. already tried several unbrick guides, did a hundred factory resets/formats in cwm, tried to mount data via cwm (error mounting /data), tried another microSD /btw: sdcard does not mean external sd but internal or am i wrong?), .... i cannot access the sdcard, so no way to flash another rom. adb is responding (0123456789ABCDEF recovery).
so, is there any way to use nvflash (b80!) oder adb (in recovery) to
a) get the sdcard back or
b) flash any rom / another recovery to get my tf back to life?
THANKS for any help!!!

look for easyflasher by whitekidney, it might help, it returns u back to stock, then u can root again and install recovery.

Thanks catfishbilly, unfortunalty whitekidney says:
Does NOT work for: TF101G (TF101 3G)
already tried peri 0.4 - which also didn`t helped me out.
not shure wether i did something wrong or tf101g is really not supported.
any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

found this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24007127&postcount=276
Code:
mounted the external sd as /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data
adb push recovery.zip /data/media/recovery.zip
then go to 5.5.0.4 recovery , install , choose , and boom : recovery.zip ¡¡¡
recovery flashed , and rom flashed
I cant believe how easy it was to end , 5.5.0.4 is finally able to read external sd with this cheat.
AND: SUCCEEDED - Rogue on my tf101g, access to external!
problem with /data/ still exists, hope to find another thread with a solution....
Thanks to this great forum,

Hi
I'm having some problems before super wipe:
I used Super Wipe Full to erase everything because I was facing some problems on it.
I used a lot of rooms before.
Now I can just access CWM and when I try to install the room, it says: "no files found". I think is isnt reading the external sd.
I tried to send the from via cable, but my computer don't install the driver for it. I also tried to install the driver via asus page.
Any solution?
Thank you...
