After booting into CWM recovery, I tried to flash a rom but it was deleted off of my externel SD drive (Because I didn't know format /system includes it). Anyway, what's weird is that I was still able to boot to recovery because my CWM files were on the Externel SD card along with my backups. I confirmed this by trying to boot into CWM Recovery after taking out the Ext. SD card; did not work. Then I put my SD card into my computer via an SD card adapter and it said my Externel SD card had 7,789MB/7,789 MB free. Can someone explain this phenomenon? Thank you!~
P.S. The Rom is good to go now, I'm just curious as to where the hell my CWM files went.

How did you flash it? What were the steps you made?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I used the NVflash volume down and power. I formated and wiped everything possible. When I took the Ext. SD card out and put the EB froyo rom on it via my computer. Tried to boot into recovery to no avail; phone was bricked. put the ext sd card back in, was able to boot into recovery with cwm and the EB rom was there and so I installed it.
Which recovery image did you originally flash and what method did you use to flash it?
the one everyone's been telling me to. oneclickrecovery or something nvflash cwm i dunno. the image was after I rooted and after I removed Nova. The next time I flashed an image was after flashing EBFroyo.

I think their point is that you probably flashed CWM to your external card, which is an option in the flasher.

Hi, I have clockwork mod 4.0.0.4 and I was trying to flash a rom from it. I went to install zip from SD card and then it brought me to the SD card directory, but for some reason my internal memory is renamed to SD card and my external SD card is named external 1, so instead of bringing me to the directory with all of the files that are on the sd card it brings me to the directory with all of the internal memory files. How to I flash a rom if I can't get to the right directory from clockwork mod?
Hi,
With CWM, it will only allow you to flash from your Internal SDcard only. Option 1, move your files that you would like to flash - to the Internal SDcard Directory, or If you would like the option to flash from either the External or Internal you can use the CWM Rogue Recovery.

Thanks. Its weird because I thought I flashed zips from the external SD card before. I thought that you should put all of the fies that you are going to flash on the external SD card just in case something happens to the internal memory. Or if you do a factory data reset then it will get erased and you won't have the file to flash.

LOL, it is good practice to copy the files to your external (if you have the space). I keep a copy of my needed .zips in a folder on my PC. Rooted - If you do a Factory Data Reset from CWM, all of your files will remain in tact.
As Always If This Was Helpful - Hit The Thanks!

Actually, it depends on the version you have installed. Solarnz' R4c v 3.2.0.0 custom recovery flashes from the external sdcard. Version 4.0.0.4 from Rom Manager only flashes from the internal "sdcard " and rogue recovery can flash from either.

True, there are other options; however he and I were referring to his current version 4.0.0.4.
and wanting the ability to flash from both the External and Internal
SDcards.
In the process of upgrading ICS ROM's I think I messed up my CWM recovery (3.2.0.1)
I mistakenly formatted staging and pretty much everything else that can be formatted within the mounts and storage part of CWM.
Now recovery cannot see my Micro SDCard, it can't mount it either. Nor can I mount USB storage.
I tried installing the nvflash version of the rogue recovery, then reflashed the older 3.2.0.1 recovery from Roach to see if that would reset things, but I'm still having the same issues with not being able to access my MicroSD card.
I want to stick with this recovery as I don't like having all the various ROM files on the internal card (which is why I bought a 32GB external that I can keep all of the stuff I download from XDA).
So my current attempt is to go back to HC by using the revolver NVFlash, which I am hoping fixes my recovery also.
EDIT: this didn't resolve things for me either!! Argh! Still can't mount the MicroSD card.
If it doesn't, can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!
The Team Rouge recovery read from external micro sd card as well.

Thanks...but for some reason my TF can't mount the MicroSD (external) anymore, whether it's Roach 3.2.0.1 or Team Rogue.
I've nvflashed back to revolver 3.11 HC, and the SD card shows up fine in the ROM, but not in recovery.
Something has gone wrong and I am not sure how to resolve.
I wonder if putting the device completely back to stock (unrooted also) would help?
I would try and format your sd card again on a PC, try sd formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/SDFormatterv3.0.zip
Just copy the content of the micro sd card to a pc, format and copy it back.
Hi guys
Please assist, i have unlocked, installed recovery.
My phone was not rooted, but apparently the ROM i installed wouldve done that automatically.
When rebooted, my device, booted directly to recovery?
I can access Fastoot protocol, access recovery fine, but it does not boot to the ROM?
When i tried to choose install from internal zip, it says "no files found" which is strange?
Please help me, device off, not sure what to do?
your rom zip should be on external sd card, not internal, internal sd card is what you should be flashing the rom too in recovery not from.

Thank you, i managed to get it sorted.
It seems like my download was corrupted or something (The actual ROM File)
Not correct, with a Motorola XOOM i flash the ROM with the zip file on the internal memory (folder DCIM) and work perfect like from a external sd card.

Are you using the rogue recovery?
So I got the 32Gb samsung Sd card. Had a 16Gb in my phone. Wife had 8Gb in her skyrocket. Took my 16Gb card, copied all data to PC, then put 32Gb in my phone. Copied all data from pc to new 32Gb card on my phone. All good. Then took wifes phone, copied all data to pc. Installed my 16Gb in her phone, erased all data. Installed all her data off pc to 16Gb card. All seems good. We both have the Skyrocket SGIII R4 on phones with CWM recovery. HER phone will recognized SD card in CWM. MY phone cant mount SD card in CWM. Why wont my phone with new SD see it in CWM? Do I need to format it through windows?
SD card works in all other aspects...connects to windows, restores from mybackup pro....Put the 16Gb back in my phone with all her data, and CWM will let me install fron SD card.
What format is the sdcard on, fat32?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. I took it out of package and put in phone, says FAT32 on pc
Tried formatting thru phone and copy data back on, but same thing. CWM says cant moun E sd card...
Tried reinstalling CWM. Wont mount sd card
What CWM are you using?
Try using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
And make sure the microsd clicks with the spring when you insert it on your phone.
Flashed that in odin, booted into recovery, chose install zip from sd, select. Then it just flash the clockword screen over and over every 3 seconds....
Went back to CWM i think 5.0.2.6. And sd card "clicks" in place.
BUT....I went to mounts and storage in CWM, and chose mount sd card. Went back to install zip from sd....and boom, theres all my zips!

Haha nice, I had a problem with the later CWM not detecting my sdcard so I went and flashed back to the old one and it worked just fine, didnt really have to remount but I guess that was needed on your end. :good:
So my g2x wasnt mounting my INTERNAL sd memory in CWM so then I reflashed it to the internal nandroid CWM with oneclick tool NOW I can acually mount it on USB and I formatted the internal to FAT32 on my computer there are NO files on it and no ROM is loaded on the phone. I still cannot mount the SD in CWM. Im using CWM 4.0.1 Internal SD nandroid support. PLEASE ive been looking all over.

Use oneclickflasher to flash clockwordmod touch. Install a rom, and format the internal sd. Try seeing if it recognized under cwm touch (remember, when you hit install zip in cwm touch click the option use internal memory)
I advise using clockwork 5.0.2.0. That's the most stable and actually for our phones and not a port.
There have been issues with certain kernels with other recoveries and it's better to be safe than sorry.
