Hi!
I'm on SGS2 with Resurrection Remix v2.0 w/ Siyah v 3.2.6+ kernel.
My version of CWM is 4.0.1.5.
For some reason, I can't longer flash anything from CWM.
Whenever I reboot into CWM and choose the "choose zip from sdcard", I only get this error message: "E: Can't mount /sdcard". I don't have any external SD card on my phone, I have always used this method.
I've already tried to wipe cache without luck. If I choose "mount /sdcard", I only get "Error mounting /sdcard!" (This however, may be because it's referring to any external sdcard?)
I appreciate any answers!

So, when you put the .zip on your 'sdcard', are you putting it on the internal memory, or the external SD card?
And yep you're right - it's looking for an extsdcard to 'mount'.

I'm putting the .zip file in my /mnt/sdcard directory. Btw, when I can boot into the stock recovery, I have an option called "install zip from internal sd card". When I choose this option, I can access all my files and install the update that I want, but in CWM I can't!

Have you tried sticking the .zip on an external SD, and seeing if it shows up that way just to confirm? I remember having a similar issue on the Infuse a while back now, and I had to start flashing off the internal memory.
I think a re-install of CWM fixed things up, but that was a high-Development time, and we were getting new versions every day
Try the external thing, I reckon that's the problem. Might require an update to CWM in order to restore functionality. Alternatively, you may like to look into a replacement such as 4EXT or TWRP.
I found this kernel by Chainfire, which adds root and SU, and also CWM. You can flash it through ODIN as normal, very detailed instructions in there.
I also found this article, which may shed some light on the issue for you?
I cannot believe how hard it is to find a Recovery in the GS2 section. What a nightmare!

Hi juzz86!
Thank you for your response!
I do not have an external sd-card to try atm. I will look into the CWM alternatives if this does not work.
I found out that I had replaced my stock recovery with the CWM touch version, and this version allows me to use the "internal sd card" menu. This however, only works when shutting down my phone, and holding volume up+power+home. When using the fast option "reboot into recovery" from my phone, I still get the ordinary CWM - and I'm facing the same problem over again.
When trying to "mount /sdcard" in CWM, I get a standard "failed to mount" message
After looking into the Directory-bind app, I see that all my data is stored in my /sdcard folder, and nothing in the /sdcard/external_sd folder, so I followed the guide just for fun (since it doesn't really describe my problem), but it didn't work, and I still can't mount my /sdcard folder in CWM.
I'm going to see over the forums about the mount sdcard error in the forums, and try the kernel as suggested if nothing else works BB!
EDIT: I see that in newer versions of CWM, there should be an option for installing a zip from the internal sd card. My question is: Is it possible for me to update my version of CWM, while using the same kernel? I can't do this in ROM Manager.
Should be, yes. You'll probably need to use Fastboot or ODIN to flash it, so.e devices get zips but I'm unfamiliar with the GS2 Development.
Your best bet will be to find the CWM thread in one of the GS2 forums, and follow the instructions in there.
I wasn't aware that flashing a recovery through ROM Manager changed your kernel?

It didn't. My answer was a bit messy, sorry. I understand that you can flash a new kernel through odin or CWM, and therefore get a new version of CWM bundled - like the customized versions (like the link you provided). I only want to update my version of CWM, but stay on the same kernel as before. What Rom Manager is able to do, is updating your version of CWM (the official ones).
If I'm mistaking, please let me know.
No, that's right you can update CWM by flashing a kernel, but you can also find a standalone recovery.img, sometimes a flashable zip, or you can use ROM Manager. All three of these methods won't touch your kernel
I got the oposite problem...
Hi all i am new .. but basicaly my issue is:
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my rooted Galaxy SIII I19300.
I've placed the rom inside an external sdcard, entered Recovery mode (clockworkmod CMW-based Recovery) and clicked "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard", after that the console presented me with an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/".
I've tried to select "mount /sdcard" in the mounts menu and it errors:
"Error mounting /sdcard!"
The sdcard works fine and I'm able to read/write from/to it without any issues in GSIII and in others cellphones..
The SDCARD got 2 gb and its formated in FAT32.
Any one help plz?
Format your sd card !
respected sir,
format your SD card , since cwm, twrp, and other recovery mods require mostly 'FAT32' format.
so, please take a bkp and format it to go ahead without probs!

Try recopying the zip again from the your computer to SD card.. If that doesnt work check wheter the zip is completely downloaded.. verify the size of the zip online to what you have..

OK. Did you format your SD card / partition your SD card anytime? Try to backup your SD card and then format your SD card once again and copy the zip back from the PC to SD and try flashing
I'm on my tab
Flash New recovery and try.

Hi everyone, I downloaded the Fantasy HD rom v11 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341030 and was very excited to start using it. After rooting my samsung s3 I9300 and installing clockworkmod recovery I copied the downloaded zip file to the my SD card, for some reason it would not copy and kept saying "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". So i ended up putting my SD card into a card reader and copied it that way and it finally copied onto the card. I loaded up recovery mode, selected install from zip and when I click the rom it says something like installing...(bad) and just stops. Please can someone help me with this I dont understand what is going on. I thought maybe the download was corrupt so I redownloaded the file and still wont copy to the SD card although other files copy to it with no error msg. Any help will be very much appreciated

Problem In The Meta-inf aka. Mainfest
Change It
And Check If The Rom Is Complete
I installed a custom rom for my Galaxy Player 3.6(YP-GS1) and I can't figure out how to fix this error.
First it boots like normal then straight into cwm. After a brief time it reboots by itself. I think I know how to fix but I don't know how to flash a rom with an external sdcard. And It seems that whenever I try to install from my internal sdcard it gives me an error like my internal storage is corrupted.
The error says
-- Installing R0m.zipFinding update package...Cannot mount sdcard/R0m.zipInstallation aborted
I would be very greatful to whoever can fix my issue.
I have seen this mentioned a few times in several threads without any resolve that I can find.
Since flashing CWM 6.0.4.5 it no longer will go straight into a backup or restore without stopping at the CWR recovery screen with the following error message:
waiting for sd card to mount (20s)
SD card mounted...
Verifying SD Card marker...
SD card marker not found...
Error processing ROM manager script. Please veri
fy that you are performing the backup, restore,
or ROM installation from ROM manager v4.4.0.0 or
higher.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockwor
kmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to re
port the issue.
Well it has been reported several times and I am up to date with ROM manager.
Has anyone else experienced this? And if so were able to resolve it?
Maybe we can figure this out. :fingers-crossed:
I don"t know if this is related but in ROM Manager it identifies the sd card as: extSdCard/ But when booted in recovery CWR identifies the sd card as: /storage/sdcard1
I downgraded to ROM Manager 6.0.3.1 and now it will perform a backup or restore seamlessly without the error but I will not be able to flash any 4.4.x roms. Also the sd card path now states: /storage/extSdCard/
any help is appreciated!
I fixed it! I have converted to twrp recovery and rom installer as my interface app. (it was already on my device included in rom toolbox) they work together seamlessly. Thanks everyone for your help!
