SD card doesn't show up in Recovery - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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.

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..

[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.

That's the way it is.
Go back to the one you had before if you want to flash from microSD.
OK but how can I do it?
I have the old CWM recovery file file but I'm unable to load it from SD card Also i can not run file manager to move files to internal storage

Yes the 5.5.0.4 and 5.8.1.8 flash file from the internal storage.
It work great, just keep in mind NOT to use something like the Superwipe script
as it will wipe everything from the internal storage, leaving you with nothing to flash and no OS.

[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

[Q] I cannot boot into my ROM (recovery only). How to restore ROM and boot into it?

Hi,
I'm running an Transformer TF101 with Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.4.
However some time ago I removed the zip file with the ROM from within the SD Card memory space - that of course being actually the internal 16GB of storage and not a MicroSD.
Since I cannot boot into any ROM and I haven't got a zip file with my ROM on my Internal Storage, what do I have to do to install a ROM back onto my transformer. It seems that unless I boot into the ROM itself (which by the looks of things has been wiped) I cannot access the internal memory storage.
Please help. How do I fix this and make it running again?
I have a very similar issue. I can boot to the ROM but there doesn't seem to be a launcher so throws up a load of errors.
Essentially I cannot access any external memory in the ROM or recovery so need the same instructions.
Cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 Follow the instructions in this thread. This will completely wipe your device and bring it back to stock no matter what SBK version of TF you have. You can then also choose to install a custom recovery as well as root it all from right here. Then you can install a custom rom back on. I also recommend using a recovery that uses the internal storage or external as it is much safer. You can always take out the SD, put a rom on it, replace it and boot into recovery. Much easier than using Easy Flash.
