My phone won't boot so I'm trying to use Clockworkmod to mound the USB storage so I can copy the zip files over and do an update using the recovery.
WHen I mount the usb, I see the sdcard on my PC. I copy the files onto it and they seem to be there, but when I go to install them using CWM, I can't see them and when I mount the USB again, the files are gone and I can only see what was originally on the sdcard!
Does anyone know why this would be or if I am doing something wrong?
Using Windows XP 64 and fastboot, Nexus S (now rooted and with CWM recovery, but still stock ROM)
I just tried formatting the sdcard using clockworkmod. It seemed to take a while and said it completed but when I mounted the USB Mass Storage, all the files were still there!
What is going on? Do I need to do something to allow the sdcard to be edited and/or changed in anyway?

I am needing install a rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment I only have fastboot right now. Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?
Use the "mount USB storage" in the CWM "mounts and storage" menu.
Why can't you move the file over? To use fastboot you need to be hooked to a computer anyways.
You could download rom file to your sdcard straight from the phone.

You can only flash img files via fastboot. I don't know if CM is released that way at all.
Is your phone even functional? I mean, you can boot to a regular rom, correct?

I cant boot the main rom.there isn't any file on SD that I use it.only problem that I have is moving files to SD to flash the custom ROM or nandbackup files so if there is any way that I can mount usb storage via fastboot with computer so I can do that.do you have any idea?
I have a rooted transformer that wont boot (probably due me to replacing the build.prop file), i have a backup of the original file.
How can i access the internal storage so that i can replace the file in the system directory?
I can get to ClockworkMod Recovery but nothing in there will let me access the internal storage?

If you can get into CWM recovery, just flash the ROM again.
Also I have never tried it on the TF but in CWM there's a "mounts and storage", did you try that?
you can go through adb and move the files.
when mine wouldnt boot i ended up having to do the nvflash method in the dev section
although couldnt get my data off the the sd card as it has md5 mismatch so just started fresh with the nv flash
I am looking for some help with my sdcard on my P3113
I can no longer mount my sdcard in recovery. "Error mounting /sdcard!" any time I try. Here is what I have done so far to try and fix it:
Reflashed CWM 6. No difference
Flashed CWM 5. No difference.
Used Odin to return the device to stock.
Flashed CWM 5. Still same issue
Flash CWM 6. Still same issue.
Any reason I can't mount my SDCARD anymore in recovery or any suggestions on what I can do next to fix it?

Have you tried formatting the card?
Yes, I have tried multiple different cards also and they mount just fine once the ROM is booted.
Which SD Card (internal or external)? Also, does the SD Card mount properly when booted into Android? I had the external sd fail to mount in recovery, when to use it in Android, and it wasn't recognized there either. Had to do a reformat before my tablet could recognize it again.

The problem is with the External SD card not be accessable while in recovery. Once I am booted into the OS I am able to access it and use whatevers on it no problem. I have formated the first card and that didn't help, so I switch to a different card and that didn't work either. I have tried flashing Recovery again as well as returning to full stock and rerooting. Recovery just won't see the card. It's not that big of a deal, i just want to make sure I am not going to start having other problems too...
same device, same problem, using cyanogenmod 13.
Im currently stuck in recovery without a rom to reboot too, because i forgot to put the zip in before. I'm trying to mount to storage using 4EXT Recovery touch, just cant seem to open my sd folder. I tried mounting sdcard and mounting system through the mounts/storage, no luck. Any help?

Select toggle USB storage and access from computer. Put a Rom on and then eject from computer then select install from sd card.

I just finished installing Maximus rom up to the part where I have to reflash the rom after firmware update. When I'm booted in android, I can copy the rom to my sdcard (I used "download" folder). However, when I get into recovery and click install, the only folder available on sdcard was "twrp". When I mounted the storage from twrp, Windows ask me to reformat my sdcard, but says only 50 megabytes is available. Can someone help me out please?
Side mount in twrp, copy ur stuff if you can and then format sdcard. and do a clean flash afterwards.Try that.

Something went wrong when flashing firmware. Make sure the hboot is 2.16 and make sure you have flash modified twrp from maximushd.

Which version of recovery are you using? Tried to switch to last version?
Okay, i did it now without sideload:
push rom to /data/media
somehow the partition for /data/media received 12gb
with twrp you can flash the rom from there, after the rom is installed you will have acces to the 12gb again when conecting the phone via USB cable
