This sort of happened to me before. try downloading and installing the file attached. It should do the trick. N.B- You need to have root access.
ok thanks. I have root access (i think, fairly new to all this, apologies).
How do I run the file??
Thanks.
sorry to be a pain

Boot your phone (make sure the file is on your phone), then simply select the file and follow the onscreen instructions. After that, select it's icon in the menu and choose to allow it to automatically operate when USB is connected. Then just allow root access and you're good to go. Try your rom flashing again and it should be successful.
hey
thanks for your help, but I currently have no ROM / OS installed on the phone, so can only boot into recovery / fastboot etc.
not into android os.

Since you can boot into recovery and access your phone from your computer, then just flash the stock windows mobile rom to your phone. I think that would work and it does make sense. If it does work then you can continue doing what you want after you have done it.
Do you mean flash it via fastboot? I'm sturuggling to get files across from my pc... sorry to be a pain...
I can access the SD card to drag files in recovery. but cant isntall from the sd on my phone.
tried flashing files direct to phone with fastboot but coundt. probably just got it wrong. gahhh.

Have you tried a different SD Card or a sdhc card? One of them might help.
I haven't tried another card yet no.
I need to purchase one first, hopefully will get chance this week.
Any links to best guide to make a goldcard btw?
Thanks.

I recently flash one of the g2x to bionix 2 and it does not recognize the microsd anymore.
How can I go back to another rom without using sd card? It boots up and loads fine.
Clockworkmod recovery will still recognize it. Did you try booting into recovery?

No recovery won't delete the files on your memory card during a normal wipe of user data.
You can also get into recovery by powering off the phone and then holding the volume-down and power buttons at the same time until it boots into recovery .... assuming you nvflashed the recovery to your phone.
i can use nvflash to get into recovery, but when i try to browse to sd card, nothing.....

Which recovery did you flash? There are 2 versions. One mounts the internal memory and the other mounts the external sdcard. Make sure your files are in the appropriate location for the recovery you flashed.

i did both and they did not work, i ended up with the external.
wat u do mean by files are in appropriate location ? i thought i can put those rom files on the root of the sd card.

Yes you're correct. You can actually have them anywhere you want on the sdcard. What I meant was they need to be on whichever "sdcard" your recovery is mounting, whether its internal or external.

The only other suggestion I can come up with would be to flash the other recovery, the one that mounts your internal memory. Use a file explorer app on your phone to move the rom .zip to your internal memory and then boot into recovery and flash.
Maybe your external sdcard slot is fried? I dunno. If its not recognize by your OS or recovery then it seems like a hardware issue. Just my opinion based on what you've been describing.
Just unlocked using EZ. I'm running cwm 6.0.1.0 and the lk_aosp_jb_beta-v0.5 kernel. I am coming from stock rom I wiped data/cache/dalvik. I reboot come to the CMX cyanogenmod 10 boot animation screen and it just sits there with the screen flashing every few seconds.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong or what is going on. I'm using the 20120817-UNOFFICIAL cm10 rom. Id also like to note upon backing up roms I've been getting "Unable to find mounted volume /sdcard" "Error finding an appropriate backup handler" I try mounting the internal sdcard in cwm but it doesn't do anything, I can mount and unmount everything else. Please help me out?
Edit: I'm going to flash beans8 so I can check my external sdcard is formatted in FAT32
ReEdit: Still no luck. Any advice?
I think your best bet is to copy everything off of your sdCard and reformat it (Fat32 of course). Are you running the on-kexec CWM also?

I had ODIN back to stock and then ran adam's CASUAL to root and unlock
I took all the info off my SD card last night formatted both through CWM and will give this another go with the new nightly build today. It was strange, with my external SD card mounted in the phone last night plugged into USB on my PC it listed both the internal and external as General hierarchy File systems. But when I pulled out the microSD and put it into my card slot adapter it showed it as a FAT32 card. I'm puzzled but either way I reformatted it to FAT32 and popped it back in the phone. Then I formatted the internal via CWM. Like I said I'll try it again in a few after I make some backups and titanium my stuff.
Just tried again. Still stuck on the boot animation screen. Everything is as it should be according to everything I've read.
EDIT: Finally got it. I flashed liquid and then flashed the new nightly over that after clearing data/cache/dalvik.
I need help installing a ROM, I know how to root and i have superuse and red recovery, however, everytime I install a ROM, i get soft bricked with a robotic woman's voice saying, "convert system partition, data not available... Convert data partion, system not available.
Any ideas? I use the ODIN-one-clcik KJ2 tar i believe.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Finally Installed a ROM successfully, thanks guys for you help,
My solution:
Disable Anit-Virus from blocking important programs (SuperOneClick & One Click KJ2 ODIN)
SDCard needed to be partitioned to ext 2048 and swp 0 (backup card before doing so)
Place Recovery file in system/bin with root explorer, and update.zip on SDcard( Don't Flash !)
Delete any ClockWorkMod on your SDcard,
intsall Rom Manager,
Flash Rom Manager with Sidekick 4g,
reboot into recovery, by using 2click + power method, if still blue recovery, re-install packages; it should go to Orange recovery version 4.0.0.2
Make sure Mounts are correct before flashing ROM,
Thanks for all you help guys :good::good::good:

This is the voodoo/ext4 lagfix.
IIRC, and knowing krylon360, it uses the sd-ext partition on your sdcard to temporarily store your files while it converts your partition.
Backup your sdcard, go into recovery. Partition your sdcard. Give EXT 2048 and 0 for swp.
Then try Odin again.
Thank you, will do

after I ODIN, I get stuck on SuperOneClick now, *daemon not running. starting now on port 5037* and when I look at my processes, I have two ADB.exe running, I end the one with the lowest memory (984kb) and one click pops up a window "Automatic version check failed.

So, I'm guessing Odin worked and Linda talked a bunch and everything in that part worked.
If that is the case. When you boot to recovery, can you run 'adb shell' and get a root prompt?
If so, first mount /system
In adb shell:
Code:
mount /system
then close out of adb shell by typing 'exit'
Then download this zip.
extract it and cd to the directory it extracted to.
Then type:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb push busybox /system/bin/
adb shell
back in adb shell, we just need to make sure su and busybox are set with the sticky bit:
Code:
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
You now just need to reboot, go to the market, install supersu by chainfire and busybox by stericson and run them both (to mostly upgrade the su binary, but also to make the 'smart links' in busybox)
You are now rooted.
If you don't have adb shell in recovery, please point me to your recovery and I will fix it.
I was never very familiar with using ADB shell, is it, my cmd? Or is it in some kind of emulator?
After this , I think I'm will to have some one do it for me, I'll pay for shipping and everything
The recovery I have after ODIN restore is blue, with no mount options, advanced, etc. All it has is this:
Android System Recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete all user cache
delete cache data
I think my SD card is corruput, it doesnt show up when I plug it into an adapter to USB to computer; my 16gb does show up.
Im going to retry everything with the 16gb card and I found out how to ADB push, hopefully I'll be able to Root Again on the 16gb

The recovery you have after ODIN'ing is the stock default Recovery. You'll need to root, and replace the recovery. You can use ADB like he said, or just use any old Root File Explorer (By the way, Root File Explorer is on the Market, pretty good but you have to pay.)

When I copy the recovery file into the bin folder in system, and place the update on root of SD, it still comes up blue, however, if I take a recovery out of a ROM file and replace it, it still comes up blue, but, if I hit re-install packages on stock recovery. I was finally able to change my mounts, and now I get this after installing ROM in orange recovery, " Convert system partition, 2 min... back up operation." Wow, now I have a red VooDoo recovery. Wouldn't reboot, or install any ROM from SD because it wouldn't let me mount the SD CARD,

Does it say 3e?
Or is it version 3.0.2.8 (red or blue)?

Well, the version number is on every screen in recovery. It's always easy to find, because it says v3.0.2.8 or similar.
The point is, in the future, there maybe newer versions, and if you get in a good habit of knowing the version number, it helps to differenciate between different versions of CWR and other recoveries:
2x from Stock Android Recovery (v2 is from donut to eclair)
3e from Stock Android Recovery (v3 is from froyo to jellybean)
v2.5.1.x from Froyo CWR
v3.0.2.8 (Stock CWR- blue or Voodoo CWR- red) from early Gingerbread
there was a v4.x.x.x, but I don't remember how long that lasted...
v5.0.x.x from newer Gingerbread CWR
v6.0.1.x from ICS and Jellybean CWR.
It helps you to know where the recovery comes from. This info is useful for any phone you are on
No, I had stock recovery, I would place a recovery from the Glorious+Overdose ROM into the system/bin, and it would still come up blue, however, when I choose install packages on blue recovery, it takes me to Orange recovery, I'll check versions. And yes, I have an adapter for the sdcard, I checked it, nothing comes up, its done/fried. I'm afraid to try changing the ext and swp on my 16gb 10class because I don't the same results.

Sounds like you had a bad sdcard and did something wrong with the overdose rom stuff. I wouldn't be afraid of the 16G sdcard. Go for it.
Repartitioning your sdcard doesn't fry sdcards.
Maybe TheLastSidekick will chime in and help out with your recovery issue, but I'd still suggest moving to the 16G, partition with 2048M of ext and 0 swp and odin again. try the glorious+overdose rom directions again.
Cool, so I re-did everything (ODIN, rooting) I deleted the clockwork that was already on the SD with RootExplorer, put the Update.zip on root of sdcard, and the recovery in the system/bin and rebooted into recovery successfully with Rom Manager, I have Orange CllockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2, now I am going to partition the SD card.
Just one more question, Can I use the same 16gb SD card on my rooted HTC Inspire 4G for ATT? Or do I need to re-partition the sdcard?

Upon trying to update my TF101 device to Jelly Bean using this guide (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_tf101), at the 6th step of Installing CyanogenMod from recovery (i.e., Select install zip from sdcard) the tab says it's unable to mount the SD card.
The exact error is: E: unable to mount /sdcard/
I have CWM v6.0.1.3 installed.
Now, I'm stuck with a TF101 that isn't detectable via USB (or APX for that matter) running ClockWorkMod without root. What do I do? I'd like to upgrade to JellyBean but if that's an issue, I do not mind sticking with ICS.
Bear in mind that I'm completely new at this and I might need a step-by-step guide.
P.S. - I can't post links. Sorry.
If you boot to ICS and enable USB Debugging in Settings - Developer Options, is your device visible from the PC?
If yes, then I would try using PERI to root and install CWM.
If not, then I would try installing the Hybrid Touch 6.0.1.2 of this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 Download the file in ICS, place it in the /sdcard/, flash from Recovery and see if it will let you. If you can see your microSD from recovery put it there. Then reboot and you should have a working recovery.
I have seen quite a few people try to use that wiki 6.0.1.3 and have no luck with mounting the /sdcard/

No such luck. Still not able to mount the /sdcard/ and it doesn't seem to recognise the microSD as far as I can see.
Might be a bad USB cable. I have seen a few users (myself included) where my cable would charge, and be recognized by the PC but it would not do APX or ADB. New cable fixed it for me, and most others.
