[Q] not recognizing sd card - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am attempting to root my Xoom LTE (US) to EOS-Stingray-18 ICS.
So far I have unlocked, placed EOS-stingray-18.zip onto my SD card, booted into recovery with ClockworkMod v 4.0.0.4 but when I go to choose zip from sdcard the directories from internal storage (Alarms/, Android/, DCIM/ ...) are listed and I don't appear to be able to access the SD card. I have a 32M card in place and can view the files on the card if I boot up normally.
This is the first time I have tried to root my Xoom (or anything) so may be making some stupid mistake but would appreciate any help.

Stupid mistake is flashing that recovery.

That thread has the custom ClockworkMod recovery you need...

Or a better recovery..

Both good options...it's a matter of personal preference.

Thanks for the help. I used the Rogue Recovery and it worked!

[Q] Clockworkmod does not find sdcard

Hello guys,
I am trying to update to ICS on my WiFi Xoom MZ604.
Did a full wipe and cache wipe on clockworkmod, but it won't find my sdcard so I can flash it with ICS, instead it will show me the content of /sdcard and won't find anything on any directories, since I wiped it.
What should I do??
Thank you.
I'm assuming you are using the Tiamat recovery. Idk if it supports external SD or not. However, rogue recovery 1.3 supports both SD cards and adds a few other features. Not to mention it looks a lot cleaner.
I would suggest putting the rogue recovery on your SD card and flashing it.

thanks 4 the info
How would I flash it from the SD card?
yeah, still don't know what to do :-/
Plug you Xoom into your computer. Some kernels are sometimes problematic so put you CWM flash file on both the external card and internal flash. These can be distinguished in my computer. Be sure you have the latest drivers or you may have trouble finding your Xoom. http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
After that you go to install zip from sd and choose accordingly. Might I also recommend rebooting into recovery from the CWM app as I know in my case, I cannot access the recovery menu from the boot screen.

Bricking

I have rooted my phone. Will my phone be bricked if i remove external sd card and have also installed cwm which is there in sd card.??

Typically, when people say they installed CWM, they mean they installed a custom recovery. This means they flashed custom software on their device's recovery partition, which is internal memory. Removing the SD card will not, then, prevent you from booting into recovery (CWM), you just won't be able to do anything which requires access to the SD card (like nandroid backup).

If you're asking these kinds of questions, you probably shouldn't even be rooting your phone. Read, it's invaluable...

Did you select Internal at top of page. If yes. I would reboot phone and reflash TWRP recovery from Goo Manager.

[Q] CWM can't mount /sdcard

I've installed CWM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671598 and then from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 on my TF101 and neither one can see the microSD card to back up the data
Am I doing something wrong?

Change to TWRP, works so much better and can use the internal or external storage for your backup. Search the forums for the how-to.
Just tried it, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818452
No dice, can't select "external sd card" and can't mount it...
I will look up the TWRP install and link it to you. I did an app install to flash it. I just gotta remember how I did it. I didn't have my PC with me when I went from the HD rom to CM10 and I couldn't mount my SD card with CWM at all. I remember trolling these forums to find the TWRP install. I have 24 hour duty, so i will dig for it.
*EDIT*
Can you not boot into the OS? or are you stuck in CWM?

I can boot into the OS just fine and I'm not stuck in CWM. What I meant in my previous reply was that I installed TWRP via GooManager but after rebooting into it, it doesn't see my microsd card, just like CWM...
The booted OS (original, rooted) does see the card and it's empty

Install twrp, use super wipe script from android revolution HD forum.. super wipe will wipe and format everything, then format your micro SD card... then try doing a fresh install

Make sure your sd card is formatted to Fat32. You'll lose the ability to transfer >4gb files.

Thanks i kinda figured that was the issue that it doesnt support exflat. how would i go about installing team win recovery if i have clockworkmod installed same way with odin? i know team win supports exflat
Another question that pop in my mind would i be able to back up my rom on a differnt sd card with clockwork.

Just download "GooManager" from the Play Store. Press your menu button and select "Install Open Recovery Script" and the latest TWRP will install.
In regards to CWM and two sd cards. Sure can, but who really uses two external sd cards for one phone?
