I previously had bricked my Xoom and was able to get it back to stock (with help from the forum). I then rooted it and was going to try flash BRD's Kernal, 3.1 update, bootloader, ect. I DL'd the files and saved them to my SD card. Popped the SD card in. Rebooted into Clockword and could not see my external SD to flash from. I went into the advanced setting in CWM and checked to see if the SD card was mounted... It wasn't. I don't even have the mount/unmount SD option anymore.
I went to the forums and kept getting looped back to the Clockwork Mod 3.2.0.0 thread. Is there a way to push this file through ADB? I'm new to ADB so I don't know if it's even possible. If so which file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to the post, I can't see the external card anywhere. Not in the file manager or on my PC, via USB. I've formatted the SD card in my Droid 2 and my PC. That's all that I can think of to add to this.
You can push the recovery in fastboot. Make sure your CWM is version 3, not the version 4. Get it from the forums, in fact the link in my sig for all 20 stock images has everything you need.

if you loaded 4.0.0.4 already and if you have rom manager you can scroll to the bottom and choose "All ClockworkMode Recoveries" and choose 3.0.2.5, then go to thread i linked and flash that..
Thats how far my knowledge goes
Hope it helps
I've copied Turkawa's post as an alternative to pushing files through adb. If you go the adb route you need to download all of the necessary files on your computer. Also make sure to only flash the image file (.img) not a zip file through adb.
Good luck!

If you can't see your SD card anywhere that is problem number one. If you have a SD card in your droid2, put it in the xoom while it is powered off and boot into clockwork. If you can read the card you have narrowed your problem to the card itself. Try using Panasonic SD formatter (Google for the free app) to format the card and try again.
I'm at a loss. I don't know where I went wrong so maybe someone has some suggestions to lead me down the right path, Please and Thanks.
I've restored with odin and heimdall, used entropy and zen's kernel, but for some reason I cannot access the external sd card in red CWM. I've flashed cm9 so the blue CWM direct link to sd card works. In red when you use external is says no files found but exist. The files are there. You can access through root explorer or my files and they work. I've reformatted both internal and external. Every now and then I see something about no app2sd partition.
Im in a a bad reception and wifi area and won't be home for a month. Don't want to seem ungrateful if I don't reply back right away. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.
If you are referring to the CWM menu options and status messages relating to sd-ext that is not your external sd card. See this guide for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799917
To confirm whether your external sd card is available from red CWM, you can use ADB (if you have it) and check for files in /sdcard/external_sd. If you don't have ADB, you can load the Infuse Toolkit from CWM recovery (see link in my sig), run the Aroma File Manager option and navigate to the same location highlighted above. If you can see files or copy files to that location you are good.
If you have recently returned from JB and previously upgraded to JB without removing your external SD card, this may have caused your issue. See this guide from andros11 for recommended upgrade JB process:

Thanks Zen! I will try the adb route. I might not be explaining it right but the files are visible by any means besides red cwm. I will do so more work and get back. Thanks again for giving me another way to look at it.
Edit: I always keep my zip files on my external card. I was always able to access them with red cwm ( maybe they were still visible on the main menu). I stay on gb rom's. I only tried cm9 for the blue recovery and if i remember there was a menu option for the external or internal sd card ( sorry I forget) but my zip files were there and accessible. I thought in the red cwm i accessed them in the ext-sd option. I use your toolkit too. You the man and thanks for your help.

From the aroma file manager, i can see the files on the external card but they don't show in the red cwm. I can work around since I can still move the files but it is driving me crazy. LOL Thanks again. I'll keep trying. This was a warranty replacement phone and I don't have a spare sd card with me. I've never been on jb with this phone but my card might have.

This appears to be a...ahem... "feature " of the red CWM recovery. I copied a zip file to my external sd and attempted to access it via the install zip from sd menu option. No luck...
So.. Your ext sd card is fine - just make sure to keep all your CWM zips on the internal sd card.

Hi, yes you're right, more details:

Zip files was on micro SD card formatted in NTFS.
And what I tried with no success is to find teh file on sd card location.
So I test FAT? On SD Card?

That TWRP version is very old... but should be good enough for wiping.
How did you try to find the file "on sd card location"? Using "Select storage?" Or did you mount using the mount page? In which directory did you look? external_sd or whatever it's called?

Which folder did you put them into on the card?
My guess is that they are in that folder
Which rom.zip files btw?
Well... I try to developp a little bit more to get some help.
I installed in my micro SD formatted in EX FAT format and in the SD card formatted in FAT32 format the two zip files dowloaded here:
Download CM11.0
Download GAPPS
They are installed at the root of both cards, there is no other files or folder in it.
I start in TWRP and then click install icon and look for these files everywhere and found nothing.
When I cick to mount icon, I cannot mount the micro SD or the SD cards.
Could you help me?
Is it possible to install another version of TWRP if the system does'nt start anymore?

when you enter twrp you should press on install, then there is a tab that says choose storage press on that and choose sd card, then carry on as you have been doing. twrp doesn't automatically show things on your micro sd card

Morning all
I updated my Z5 to MM 6.0, and i am no longer able to access my external SD card. Card is a Sandisk Ultra 32Gb CLass 10
It was NOT set up as shared storage before the update, and worked fine before the update.
I have taken the card out of the phone and re-inserted it to see if it'll detect it, but that restarts the phone and still does not show.
I've also taken the card out and put it in a card reader on my laptop, contents show fine as they were before the update, and even tried formatting to exFAT to see if it would detect it, but the phone still does not see it.
Is there a fix for this? I'm a bit annoyed at this, and will be thoroughly pissed off if it won't come back as i use it for camera and music storage to keep the phone memory as clear as possible.
EDIT: NOW A FIX

My SD Card is now named 2885-BD47 but I still am able to access all content
At least via File Commander and also via Gallery and also games...
Same problem here. In addition, I could not delete anything on the card through File Commander nor format the SD card in the android storage setting (got some sort of partition error). I also connect the card to PC through phone (with card inside the phone and set to MTP) and the PC could "delete" it but the files are actually still there after that when I open them through phone. I don't have a card reader with me at the moment so can't try that. The card was working fine before I upgraded to MM.
I reformatted mine after it was causing the phone to crash after the update. Try normal fat32 and make sure it's an active partition

Done that this morning, still no joy. Reads fine in a card reader, just not in the phone.
Oddly, it does not show at all like DMC_UNIVERSE post, i've been through all the folders and nothing shows with the contents of my SD card.
Really annoyed now
Sony have advised me to try the Software Repair via the Companion software. Still not working, and i've lost all my data. Now have to set up the phone from scratch again!!!
This is a Marshmallow issue, not a Sony one. It happened to me on my Nvidia Shield Tablet after it got the MM update too...

Connect the sdcard to the pc with sdcard usb adapter or reader. Try to wipe its contents, format it with default settings, select quick format. (backup whatever u need first).. After thats done insert the sdcard in to the phone and format it using the phone format sdcard option in settings>storage.
If for any reason after you reinsert your sd card back in to the phone all the contents on the sd card are still there, then simply put.. Your micro sd card is defect. Throw it out and buy a new one. Lol. This is alsoa common problem with sandisk ultra micro sd cards. Sandisk even admit it in a forum i read once, cant remember the link im afraid. But a simpke google search is your best friend for that .

Oh something i forgot to mention, if any of you have a custom recovery and rooted device, try this, (as it could be possible your device had put a protection/lock on the sdcard). Try to format the micro SD card within the Custom recovery instead if it doesn't work from within the settings menu.. you'll also have a bit more detail as to whats going on with the card. If custom recovery fails to format the card, then the card is literally defect. Buy a new one

I'm not sure as to what the MM update has to do with it, It could just be coincidence that your MicroSD card just happen to become defected at the time of the update...
although it seems like too much of a coincidence.. there is only 1 way to be Exactly sure, that it aint your MicroSD.. If you have any data on the card that isn't important. Then try this and post back your results....
1. Insert the microSD in to your MicroSD adapter or card reader on your PC..
2. Try to format the SD card within windows either as eXFAT or FAT32 (Try both) Inserting the card back in to the phone after each Format with both File Systems
3. Check the SD card in files within your phone with a file explorer and see if the Data on your SD card is STILL there, If it is.. The Card Is Defect/Damaged/Corrupt etc..
4. If all the data is gone, Then navigate to your Settings>Storage>Format SD CARD (using the phone/device to format it)
Let me know how you Go..

There have many threads and discussions on the sandisk forums with many people having the same issues with these csrds.. Some people even bought 4-5 of them and had to send them all back to sandisk and get them replaced with working cards.. Apparently these cards do not handle being formatted too many times all that well.. Infact, people have been claiming that when they format it once or twice the card still works fine. Then after the 4-5th time, they just give out and just stop working all of a sudden.. Here is the link to the forum
http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...sk-Ultra-64gb-MicroSD-Wont-format/td-p/284884
One user claims he used this method and it seemed to have fixed the problem.

I had the same problem as everyone else here on the forum. Nothing worked but this.
You have to format the card using Windows Command level option;
1. Run and type "cmd"
2. Then type; "format L:"
3. Get a cup pf coffee and relax
*
Notes
** L = your sd card drive letter
** don't use quotation marks
** there is a space between format and the drive letter
------------------------------
Give that a try and let me know how it goes..
Good luck guys..
EDIT: I am infront of my PC now, so I am going to try format it this way through CMD PROMPT (aka MS-DOS), and because its a 64GB card, it will take a little bit of time.. So far it's been going smoothly and it's at 13% (roughly 1% every 45sec - 1min 10sec).. It must be doing a thorough format rather than a quick format.. Let's just wait and see if all ends well..
I Will post the results / outcome once format is complete and after I test it in one of my devices..
Edit: no good.

ReEdit:: Well, the good news is, my marshmallow Z5 detects and accesses my 32GB card with proper file pathing, rw access etc..
Maybe taking your sdcard out while updating to MM could have prevented a file pathing corruption, renaming.
But @ the person who's sdcard just stopped working altogether, but you're card done for man. Funny thing is, its mainly sandisk cards. I'm not a fan of sandisk, they are too unreliable IMO..
Right, after a lengthy formatting session using windows and CMD prompt, neither worked (exFAT or FAT32).
I downloaded SD Card Formatter as suggested by this post http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...tra-64gb-MicroSD-Wont-format/m-p/285302#M1787, and tried formatting with this (link to format tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html).
I tried 3 times with this, the only option that worked was to use the FULL (OVERWRITE) option within the software. Took a while, but once done, the phone discovered the card when it was inserted back into the phone. It is now recognized by all apps, and for good measure, i ran a format of the SD card from the phone's storage options in the settings menu. No prior contents showing, so all is good.
I've since copied the contents back onto the card, and they are now visible.
Thanks guys for your help!

Just something to remember for future reference, windows disk manager wont allow formatting anything bigger than 30GB to fat32.. You need to use a program like easeus partition master when doing so..
But im sure you're already aware of that .
Anyway. Glad you got it sorted anyway mate..
Well, i tried again using the tool provided in the link. Its a no go. The card is a dud.. I hate sandisk devices i tell ya.. Lol
same happened to me also the Play Services error, ended up reformatting the sd and clean install MM, all workin great now
i found a solution to your problem
try formatting your sd card to ur other phone and try it again on your z5
just sharing my knowledge hope it work
