So basically I am migrating ROMs and have a lot of junk apps that I want to remove by using the SuperWipe full script. Then straight afterwards I was planning on flashing the rom (Revolver V4). The problem is that Superwipe wipes the internal storage where I would actually put it and the rom. I don't know how things would go if Superwipe wipes itself and also what I would do if the ROM file was deleted (I wouldn't be able to boot).
I figured the solution was to flash both off my external sd card however I can't find any such option for that in CWM. Only 'Install zip from SD' which points to my internal storage.
1. Would it be ok anyway to flash it on internal storage.
2. If not, how do I access external storage from within CWM.
3. If impossible, what other options do I have for doing this?
1. No, the ROM .zip would be wiped, and you stuck.
2. There are some mount commands, but to use those you need adb working, and if you have adb working, just 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard/' then flash from internal.
3. You could install the latest Rouge XM touch recovery, which has support for internal and external, and is still touch.
Hope I've cleared it up a bit.
I am looking for some help with my sdcard on my P3113
I can no longer mount my sdcard in recovery. "Error mounting /sdcard!" any time I try. Here is what I have done so far to try and fix it:
Reflashed CWM 6. No difference
Flashed CWM 5. No difference.
Used Odin to return the device to stock.
Flashed CWM 5. Still same issue
Flash CWM 6. Still same issue.
Any reason I can't mount my SDCARD anymore in recovery or any suggestions on what I can do next to fix it?

Have you tried formatting the card?
Yes, I have tried multiple different cards also and they mount just fine once the ROM is booted.
Which SD Card (internal or external)? Also, does the SD Card mount properly when booted into Android? I had the external sd fail to mount in recovery, when to use it in Android, and it wasn't recognized there either. Had to do a reformat before my tablet could recognize it again.

The problem is with the External SD card not be accessable while in recovery. Once I am booted into the OS I am able to access it and use whatevers on it no problem. I have formated the first card and that didn't help, so I switch to a different card and that didn't work either. I have tried flashing Recovery again as well as returning to full stock and rerooting. Recovery just won't see the card. It's not that big of a deal, i just want to make sure I am not going to start having other problems too...
same device, same problem, using cyanogenmod 13.
my TF101G is completely bricked, it can't mount my internal SDCard and can't wipe dalvic cache.
my mistake was i flash JellyBean for the TF101G because the dev said this rom can use 3G using CM10 rom and connect to 3G using PPP Widget. this rom works but it has a few bugs like signal icon not working (it shows no signal eventhough it can access to 3G using PPP Widget) and gps not working perfectly. then i think its better if i use cm10 night for tf101 (non-G) and use PPP Widget to connect to 3G. yes its works well with PPP Widget but not gps.
then i want to flash stock rom WW_epad-user-9.2.2.6 back, i copy that rom into internal sdcard and reboot into cwm recovery and try to enter "choose zip file from internal storage" but it said "Error unmounting /sdcard!". i thought my internal sdcard problem so i reboot and open file manager. i can access my internal sdcard using file manager and pc but not with cwm manager, then i think my cwm problem so i install rom manager to update cwm to latest version but still cwm cannot access internal sdcard.
so i use my external sdcard and put stock rom in that sdcard. cwm can access external sdcard but can't flash stock rom, error said
#assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob","staging")
#E:Error in /sdcard/WW_epad-user-9.2.2.6.zip
#(Status7)
#installation aborted.
then i flash Android_Revolution_HD_Eeepad_3.4.3_3G.zip, successful but it stucked in booting shows "Android". i waited until 4 hours but no changes. i flash again cm10 nightly for tf101 but also stuck at booting. i use Peri-0.4 to unbricked but i only able to change recovery from CWM recovery to Rogue XM Recovery. now i only can wipe cache,wipe factory reset and cannot wipe dalvic cache. i also cannot access internal sdcard, what should i do? i read about APX but it only work for non-G tf101. please help me..
I am relatively new to the world of rooting and ROMs, but I have successfully installed CM10 on a previous Samsung phone, so I am decently literate.
I am currently attempting to install CM10.1 on my Verizon Galaxy S III (following the instructions on the Install CM for d2vzw page on the CM wiki), but I have reached an impasse at step 7. I was not aware that I had to put the VRALE6.bootloader.zip file on the SD card before starting this process, so I am now attempting to get that file onto my SD card either by sideloading through CWM or by pushing it to the SD card through adb. The issue is that CWM gives me an error (can't mount SD card) and adb doesn't recognize my device (I have tried installing and reinstalling various drivers for the past few hours). I enabled USB Debugging mode before starting the process, but I am only able to get into Download and CWM modes right now (if I don't do the Download Mode or Recovery Mode key combination, I am stuck on the Galaxy S III screen). Am I bricked at this point, or is there a way to get VRALE6.bootloader.zip onto my phone and continue with the ROM process?
It is important to note that I formatted the SD card before starting this process because I wanted enough space to put the Cyanogenmod file on it. However, I think I may have formatted it generically rather than into FAT-32. Could this be the issue?
I am going to pick up a microSD card reader today in order to flash the SD card to FAT-32 and put the CyanogenMod file on it.
I am getting 5 errors upon startup of CWM (E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, can't mount /cache/recovery/log, etc.). When I try to mount the SD card or external SD card, I get E: Can't mount /sdcard/
Same issue with sd card not mounting.
I'm having somewhat of the same issue. I've tried both Clockwork recovery and TWRP and have the same issue.
Should have mentioned that i still have access to the stock rom and can use my phone just fine.
I some how got Clockwork mod recovery to work using the Rom Manager pro App.
I wish i had been paying better attention to what i was doing but i know i updated CWMrecovery from in rom manager and chose to install my chosen rom with that.
My suggestion is to start over completely. There is a much easier way to do this.
My suggestion is to flash one of the rooted stock ROMs through Odin. There's a thread in android development that has rooted stock. Then when that's done boot up your phone. If it bootloops wipe data. Then use Ez-Unlock 1.2 app to unlock your bootloader. Make sure it's 1.2. Now use GooManager to flash TWRP. You are done! This is probably the easiest way to do this.

I am not familiar with TWRP, so is the process the same for flashing CM (putting CM zip file on sd card and going to install from SD card in TWRP)? Are there any additional steps beyond this?
I am following the directions in the thread linked above to root and install TWRP. So far, I have the rooted stock ROM running fine, but I can't get TWRP to work. I downloaded Goomanager and attempted to get TWRP using the Install Openrecovery Script option. However, it said that it couldn't find a recovery for my device. I also tried to use the adb method, but nothing happened after I put in the commands. I even tried to flash the latest TWRP .tar file from their website using Odin, but it keeps failing. Is there any way to get TWRP on my phone?
EDIT:Whoops, I skipped over the EZ-Unlock step. Now everything works. Thanks for the help, Sandman!

Alright, maybe I'm not quite fixed up yet. I have TWRP installed and I can go between TWRP, download mode, and the normal stock rooted ROM fine. However, I cannot get to the SD Card in TWRP in order to install CM. TWRP gives me the following errors upon booting into recovery:
E: Unable to find parition size for '/boot'
E: Unable to find parition size for '/data'
E: Unable to find parition size for '/recovery'
Updating partition details:
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: TWFunc: :Copy_Log - - Can't open destination log
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Upon trying to go to Install, I am unable to select the external SD card, and an additional error appears when I attempt to touch Micro SD Card (E: Unable to mount '/external_sd').
I guess I could try to sideload the CM zip file through adb, but I would rather fix the SD card for future use. I have been researching and working on the SD card for the better part of today, to no avail. I am pretty sure the issue is in the formatting of the SD card (it appears to be RAW rather than the required FAT32 for CM), but I cannot format the SD card into FAT-32 no matter what I try (both Windows and 3rd party formatting tools). They all say that the SD card is either write-protected (I have already checked the read/write switch on the side of the SD card adapter) and/or the format cannot be completed. I have tried both my old SD card that I have kept for a few phones (an 8GB Samsung microSD card) and a brand new Sandisk 8GB microSD card, both of which will not work.
I am able to transfer files to the SD card with no issue (with both ADB and through dragging/dropping in Windows), but I cannot install from SD in recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to allow me to install CM on my phone?
Download root checker from the play store. Make sure you are rooted

Yes, I do have root access. I think the problem lies somewhere in my SD card.

Do you have another computer to try formatting the sdcard with? And you said that you receive the same errors when trying to reformat the new 8 GB sdcard as with your other sdcard which is formatted to RAW?

I do have access to another computer, but I ran out of time and patience yesterday. I will try it when I get home later today. And yes, both cards are RAW (even the new one) and I can't get either one to format or work in TWRP.
So it appears the the issue with formatting was due to my computer's drivers (even though I installed the latest Samsung USB drivers) and not the SD card. I was able to format the SD card to FAT32 on another computer and put CM and GAPPS onto it. When booted normally into TouchWiz, the phone sees the SD card fine. However, I still get the same "Can't mount external SD card" error as well as the others previously listed when I attempt to install a zip from recovery. I even tried to sideload the ROM from ADB, but it still didn't work.

Which version of CWM and also TWRP are you using?
And the problems keep rolling in. I was able to mount my SD card and get rid of the TWRP errors by installing a modded TWRP 2.6.0.0 from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44277901). However, when I go to install CM (cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip), I get the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") ==
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip'
Updating partition details
I did a factory reset before attempting to install this, but I did not format data or do anything else.

Well, that is for the Sprint S3 my friend. We can't interchange recoveries between the different S3 models to flash roms. You may want to ask Kennyglass123 or any of those other guys if they can make a change for the VZW S3 for you to test it out.

Sounds good. I think the problem has been isolated to being something with needing a modded TWRP. I tried using an older, non-modded TWRP (2.5.0.0), which didn't work.

Would you mind trying this soft brick fix? If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're experiencing this same issue--excluding the Sprint TWRP issue you just mentioned. You will need to flash your VZW custom recovery either through GooManager, Rom Manager, or Odin btw.

I can still get between the stock rooted ROM, download mode, and recovery mode fine, so does that mean I am still soft-bricked and should try this?

This soft brick fix is an attempt to correct the /system and /data errors.
Edit: Oh great, none of the links work. I'll see about finding alternate links.
