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.

Do you have a physical sd card in the phone. The backups made in CWM are made to the 'external sd card' which is a micro-sd card you insert into your phone. If you are just using the internal memory I believe the backup will fail as it is looking for an actual sd card. Sounds like you are using ROM manager also. Probably the same reason it cannot download any other recoveries. But you should only flash a recovery with NVFlash. ROM manager does not install recovery to the actual recovery partition and does what people here call a 'fake flash' and is storing the recovery image elsewhere on the phone and tricking the phone to boot into it by having recovery apply an update.zip at boot. Use real recovery not fake RM recovery.
I figured it out, its just that my SD card went bad it wont even let me format it again. I pit a new SD in there and its working just right. Any one have any tips on the SD card card dying?

Is it a cheap Chinese SD card? If so just break it in half and throw it away. If a good card try deleting the partition, create a new partition, make it active and try to format it. There are also freeware apps you can download to try and repair sd cards. if that fails toss it, its life is over. :-( Not worth risking your device on a bad card. I had a cheap Chinese chard in a BlackBerry and the BlackBerry kept running erratically and rebotting, etc. It turned out to be the sd card causing all the problems. Once I put a new one in the BB worked with no problems again.
I assume that i had rooted the phone
i wanted to install a custom rom.
i did the One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23
well at this phone i downloaded the rom i dod this steps
Wipe data/factory reset
then i did
ount and storage = format/system
now when i need to go to install from zip card.
none of the roms show up in my sd card.
and when i reboot the phone it goes into a black screen .
i can only get to the CWM screen
is there anything i can do?
thank you ahead of time
Did u install the latest cwm?
Go back in your sd card and make sure the rom files are there. Its possible that u placed them in the internal memory so check both

Hey hi thanks i was using Flash CWM 4.0.1.5
but then i try
Flash CWM 5.0.2.0 and i was able to flash it.
thanks for the reply.
Did you download the rom using your phone or PC... reason I ask is if you used your phone to download the rom its saved in the download folder... I use my phone to download my roms...also if your promise on the external SD just choose install from SD, if its on your internal SD then you would choose install from internal SD... there's also a download folder on internal SD .. you can check there also...

4.0.1.5 is set up to use the internal memory. You can only flash from the internal pseudo "sdcard" and any CWM backups will be stored in the same internal memory.
5.0.2.0 lets you flash from either the pseudo internal "sdcard" of the "external sdcard." But when you do backups of your rom they will only be stored on the external sd card.
Use 5.0.2.0. It is better and more versatile in my opinion but you need an external sd card to fully utilize it.
Also, I wish people would stop misusing the term bricked. A true brick is a phone that does NOTHING when you press the power button. I did this once to an A71 variant phone and the phone was very dead. The condition you have is more like you "borked" your phone. The phone powers on so it is not dead, so it is not bricked. Plus as long as you can get into recovery I would not even consider your condition a "soft brick." A soft brick is when the phone is borked and takes extraordinary measures to revive it, but it is still fixable. A better post would have been "My phone is messed up. Need help reviving it."
Your title is fine, is has the word "maybe" in it. He's just one of those people..

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.

Both good options...it's a matter of personal preference.
Thanks for the help. I used the Rogue Recovery and it worked!
Hey guys,
I tried to flash my Eee Pad to official ROM and wiped everything off the tablet and when I tried to flash a ROM from my external SD card, the menu would go into the internal SD card only.
My tablet is stuck on the ASUS logo at the moment and it won't shut off nor will it recognize the external SD card necessary for me to flash a ROM.
What can I do?
In recovery...enable USB mount...plug to CPU...transfer the flashable zip to internal SD...
I'm on ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.5.0.4... I'm not seeing that option anywhere.
It's not under Mounts and Storage? Hmm. I used that recovery for only a minute...so not sure if that option was taken out....
I use Rogue version of the recovery. Its older...but for most of us normal flashers...it works well...it also includes the option to flash from external.
Is there anyway to transfer files from my PC to the tablet?

All fixed now! Used the NVflash and just fixed everything. Whew!

5.5.0.4 only read from internal sd
Well doesn't matter now since I used nvflash to revert back to stock but I'll keep that mind if there is a next time. Thanks.

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
