[Q] E: Cant mount /sdcard - CWR

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.
Sent from my Xoom

hahaaaa....
That was the simplest advice I could've ever received in my life!
Thanks again.

[Q] Please Help, Having Problem With SD Partitioning On LG Optimus V

Hello XDA,
Before anything, I just wanted to introduce myself, and say thank you. My name is Tyler, and i've had a LG Optimus V for Virgin Mobile for a few months now. I've heard about rooting your phone, but have always been afraid to on the risk of bricking it. Thanks to this AMAZING site/forum and all the great and wonderful people that post on it, I did some research throughout the forum and found so much helpful information that I had grew enough confidence to root my phone. Now here I am, 2 days into my rooted phone! So honestly, thank you XDA, everyone has been so helpful and great.
Now, on to my question . I apologize if this is not in the correct spot in the forum, but I was unable to post in the development due to this being my first post. I'm trying to partition my SD card so I could save my internal storage space, and install to my SD. I looked at a few other posts, and gathered as much information as I can. Basically, here is what I have done so far:
1) Download/Installed Link2SD on my phone.
2) Connected SD to my PC, and using MiniTool Partition Wizard I created 2 partitions for the SD card.
As I read in a few other posts, I know there are some things to remember when partitioning. Please let me know if there is anything I missed. I created my first, main, partition. From my 4GB card, I made the first partition 3.4GB. Made sure it was "Primary", and a file system of FAT32. The remaining 306MB I created my 2nd Partition. This one, also "primary", and a EXT2 file system. Applied all settings.
3) Restored all my original files back to Partition1 of card.
4) Mounted card into phone, and started Link2SD. This is where my problems are happening. When it starts, I get a note about my second partition, and what file system I want for it. I am given the options of EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, or FAT16/FAT32. Any option I click on I get an error message. Every one says "Mount script can not be created.", but with a different note at the bottom. For the FAT16/FAT32 Option, it still says it cant be created, but theres another line under it saying "mount: Invalid argument"
All of the EXT's have the same error message when clicked on it. It says about the mount script can not be created, but then under that it says "mount: No such device" under that it says "ext2 (or 3 or 4 if that the option picked) may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition"
basically, every option I click I have no luck. I've seen other posts with it working on other Optimus V's. The only thing I could think of is the ROM? Im not too familiar with Rooting, etc. but I got it done. The ROM i'm using is the one given on this site from member: sublimewulf in there post with the HOW TO root optimus V. The ROM is "Stock Rom Rooted and De Odexed minus Bloat" (filename: "Stock Rooted and Optimized.zip") I guess like the filename says, its a stock ROM?
Any help, including a re-walkthrough, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
AND FOREVER XDA!!!

why dont you try partitioning the card through recovery options?

[Q] No SD card in Paranoid Android Infuse 4G

Hey I'm posting here since I don't have enough posts to post in the developer forum. I just installed the latest build of Paranoid Android on my Samsung Infuse 4G. First I'd like to say thanks to the devs, this rom rocks! But sadly, it is not recognizing my microsd card. I was a bit worried at first since it has all my pics and backups on it, but I plugged it into my computer and everything is there. Any ideas why its not being recognized? Thanks.

Its listed as emmc... Use root explorer or another file manger and you will be able to find it.

Thanks, I did notice that it was mounted at /emmc/ but I was having trouble changing my vold.fstab file to make it mount where it should. But whenever i edited the file my phone wouldnt boot past loading screen. A friend suggested it might be a file permissions issue but I think it is where I'm trying to mount it. should it be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ or /sdcard/external_SD or something else entirely?

[Q] HTC one XL unable to mount scard

Hi everyone,
First of all, I hope I post in the right section...
So, after several days lurking and trying various solutions, I have resigned myself to ask for your help.
So here is my problem. I wanted to switch my rom to CM 10, unfortunately the install went wrong and I made the mistake to do a factory reset from the bootloader, and now i can't mount the sdcard.
I have formated my sdcard, with no success, I have tried this guide (can't post link..It's called how to fix corrupt/unmountable scdard on HTC one XL in Team Noctural forums ) with no success either...
Important precision : I have an international version of the phone (carrier : Vodafone / SFR)
Symptoms are :
- no OS
- I have access to bootloader / recovery (TWRP)
- I can mount my phone as a usb storage, but disk is empty on pc
- I can explore the folders of the sdcard in TWRP
- I can run adb commands and push files
- but I can't mount my sdcard, and thus install rom...
So I 'm begging for your help to make this phone work again.
Thank you

You have an international One X, so no, you're not in the right section.
What version of CM10 did you flash? Hopefully it wasn't from this forum, because if so, you might have screwed something up.
In any case, you need to be in the other One X forum.

Well, I had the same reflexion, so I've post this on the One X forum in the first place. But a member told me the section was only about ENDEAVOR, not EVITA....
So I'm kinda lost...
And indeed, I have downloaded CM10 from this forum...

So you indeed have an Evita? Then you are in the right place.
TWRP can see folders and files in on your sd card? You just can't mount it from your pc?

Yes I have an Evita.
Yes TWRP can see folders and files (even pushed files), and I can mount (in Mount menu) system / data / cache, but not SD card (can't check the box)

Meaning, it can see stuff on the sdcard? Not just in /system?
I assume you've tried flashing from those folders even if it's not mounted?

Yes, I can see files in the sdcard folder but when I try to install it, it shows :
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.

And the Team Nocturnal tool doesn't work? You're sure you used the Evita version? What happens when you run it?
How did you format your sdcard? What format did you use?

I'm surprised the Team Nocturnal tool didn't work for you. I had the same issue when I wanted to install CleanROM and the tool fixed it right up.
How far did you get into it?

Thanks to your questions I reran the Team Noctural tool, and I realized I wasn't following the procedure proprerly...Everything is fixed now !!
Thanks

Good to hear.

[Q] Get rom oncsd card but phone doesn't work

Im running cm10 unofficial rom and I downloaded a LCD resolution thing and changed it and clicked reboot it wouldn't reboot so I tried reflashing my rom the thing is my rom isn't on the sd card anymore since I deleted it, please help!!!!

Can I get another sd card and put the rom on there, transfer to my phone and flash the rom and then turn off phone and put my old sd card?
^ I don't think I can do the above since that means I have to actually get into my phone to download Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Please help, I'm using cm10 rom and I downloaded a lcd resolution app, it reboot my phone but it wouldn't load, now I have to flash the rom again so that I
can use my phone again, but my rom isn't on the sd card, what do I do?
I cleared dlavik cache, cache, and mount sd card or something like that. Help please!

Instead of making many threads for each of your problems, you should just make one and list all your problems there.
You should always understand the process before you begin in the first place.
You can keep your old sdcard. Just boot into recovery, mount usb storage, copy your rom from the computer to the sdcard, unmount usb storage, and flash the rom.

Do you mean mount usb storage from advanced? When I plug in my phone to pc, it says device driver not installed etc.
But the thing is I was just testing and when I click install zip from sd card, I don't see my sdcard/ folders because I think I somehow wiped my sd card? Not sure.
And I also get E: Bad boot message "recovery"
Help! It's my sister's phone.

Along with my other post above, I got the mount usb storage to work, but I need more space to put my rom in. I remember there was 162mb
before I used the backup function from clockworkmod recovery, I can delete the recovery img to free up all the 162mb that it used, but I don't know the location cwm saved the backup, where is it? so i can delete it

Please do some research before diving into something like this. Look under the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard.

Okay, I fixed it, thank you very much sweetnsour.
I now have a problem, a friend of mine texted me and their number isn't saved, how do i save it from a text message instead of manually adding to contact?

I don't see that

You should also be able to save to message senders info by long pressing on the message in the message list and selecting Add to Contacts. This is going to vary slightly between Android versions and messaging apps.
For all the statements you quoted, it is what it is. We've both been around here for a while. I myself have answered these questions numerous times in various threads. In any case, I'm not here to argue, but it is part of my responsibility to remind others of the rules and regulations and to what XDA expects from it's members.
