[Q] Can't mount SD Card on Clockwork Recovery for Flashing (Rooted with unrevoked 3)

I have a HTC Desire,
Rooted my phone with Unrevoked 3.31, everything went fine.
As soon as I got into recovery menu, Clockwork, I cannot mount my SD Card.
When I go to - Install zip from SD Card, and I'm trying to read my sd card to load the ROM zip, it says that Its unable to mount it.
I've seen a couple of posts with information and tried to follow suggestions, but no luck.
Thank you.

Same here. +1....

+1 I'm having this same issue. Been looking for a resolution for 4 HOURS now...

+1 for me...

Same issue here, was there a resolution?

Had this issue with my friends card as well. we ended up pulling the card out and throwing it into a computer. then we reformated it as fat32 put it back in the phone. and it worked. we also went from Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 back to 2.5.x.x Alot of ppl ive talked to are having issues with 3.0.0.5 and some roms/mod/kernals cant be flashed with it.
Also make sure the sd card is not locked i know that sounds like a stupid statement but it needs to be checked lol

i also ran into this problem,, all i did was format my sdcard.. and if u have another card laying around try using it... if formatting through computer does not work, try formatting it through your android phone

Any Luck on the SD card issue

I have the same issue.

[Q] CWM and external SD card

I would like to be able to put my various ROM's and kernels on my external SD card but when I boot into recovery, CWM doesn't see it. If I try going into Mounts and Storage --> mount /sd-ext I get the following error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File Exists)
Error mounting SDEXT:!
I tried following the fix at the bottom of the page on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984248 but it did not work either. I have also tried formatting the card on my PC as well as on the phone but it still will not recognize or mount the SD card. I am running Infused 1.5, Infusion 1.5.3 as kernel, and CWM 2.5.1.2 Recovery. I was also thinking of trying to install CWM 2.5.1.3 or 4 and see if that helps but not sure if they are stable releases and how well they work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Ya I don't think you can flash from an external sd card. What I did was just copied them to the ext sd, and when I want to flash, I either copy it, or move it to the internal and resume normal operation. Then you can move it back or just delete the copy.

Ok cool. I wasn't sure if I was missing something or had done something wrong. I think I will just use the 2GB SD card that came with my Infuse as a backup for the ROMs and kernels just in case. Thanks for the help!!!

I don't mean to be an ass, but I think this belongs in general.

[Q] SD Card won't mount or format - Help?

So my phone got dropped in water this week and I immediately got it out, pulled the battery and sd card, and got it in a bag of rice. Took it out two days later and the phone is working fine now, though it said the sd card was damaged and wouldn't let me format or mount it. I put it in my computer and it worked fine, so I pulled all the data and saved it on my comp. Tried putting the blank sd in the phone and it says its blank or an unsupported format, and again it won't let me format or mount the card. I tried with a different micro sd card and it did the same thing. I'm running Humble 1.42 with the OC kernel without voodoo on. Any idea on how to get a card to mount and get my data back on it? Could I possibly just load Humble 1.5 on the sd, update the phone to 1.5 through CWM and then have it work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

did you flash the SD fix?

I had that problem the other day. You have to flash the sd card fix or it won't be able to mount it. I ended up flashing the full GummyCharged 1.9.1 Odin which included the kernel, recovery, and rom and it's running great right now.

You will need to put the card into your computer to put the fix on it. Then back into the phone and flash with cwm recovery. Check my sig for the link to the fix.
If your cwm doesn't see the sd card then you may have an issue with hardware.

I put the sd card fix and humble 1.5 on my sd card, but when trying to choose a zip from the sd card in CWM it says "E: Can't mount /sdcard". And if I try mounting through CWM, it says "Error mounting /sdcard!". Any other suggestions? Should I just reflash my rom/kernel/cwm through ODIN?

[Q] Why Can't I Mount SD Card in CWM?

I tried to install the newest version of prime by micro sd card in cwm. Everytime I try to install zip from sd it says error cant mount sd card. I have installed it before without any issues. I formated sd card and tried to do again. no go. I then restarted tab to see if it was showing on tool bar and it was and showed the zip in sd. I then tried to mount in cwm and it had error again. I decided to unroot and start from scratch. still same issue in cwm. please tell me what the issue is.

This happens when your sdcard is not propperly formated. Try THIS

Format it as fat32 and everything will be alright!

I'm more inclined to believe PhatUgly on this one. I've formatted some microSD cards FAT32 and they didn't mount correctly. Did just about everything I could to remove and restore volumes, reformat, etc. Nothing worked, but it may have been a bad card. Or, it could be that there's more to it than just formatting. I'll have to try it with the SD Formatter linked in #2 above and see.

Im having similar issues as well. I got my tf for christmas (woohoo) but have had nill success with full size sd cards, and as a note I did update to the latest firmware before anything, that may be related.
Ive tried rebooting, formatting fat32 and ntfs, ive tried taking my working 32gb microsd, putting into an adapter and still wont, or any combination of things ive mentioned. I tried the above mentioned sd formatter with no luck.
Also of note, this is the sd card I got that works everywhere else but my tf:

Any other options other than RMA?

Stuck on Asus logo screen!

Help! I flashed the revolver 4 rom but now my tablet won't boot up! Ran the superwipe script followed by the rom flash and then 1.3.1 over that. The tablet just stays at the asus logo. What can i do??

You can enter apx mode and flash HC via nvflash.
I've done this twice in the last few days

I'm stuck in that boat as well. I cannot enter APX mode. HAs anyone else had this issue?
Frustrated.
Thanks

If you can still go into recovery...repeat the process except let the tablet boot without doing the. 1 update. If the Asus logo is animated...its still loading. It may take a couple minutes.

when I try to mount SD card in recovery,
I get
E: can't mount SD
IT will not recognize the external SD either.
Any ideas?

Why are you trying to mount the SD card? You shouldn't need to do that if you are just flashing roms. If you are trying to access the external SD...you need the rogue version of cwm recovery.

That message came up when I wanted to install zip from sd card. When I toggle to the sd file, I get that message. E; can't mount SD card.
IT confused me too.
