[Q] clockworkmod looking in wrong file to flash from - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have clockwork mod 4.0.0.4 and I was trying to flash a rom from it. I went to install zip from SD card and then it brought me to the SD card directory, but for some reason my internal memory is renamed to SD card and my external SD card is named external 1, so instead of bringing me to the directory with all of the files that are on the sd card it brings me to the directory with all of the internal memory files. How to I flash a rom if I can't get to the right directory from clockwork mod?

Hi,
With CWM, it will only allow you to flash from your Internal SDcard only. Option 1, move your files that you would like to flash - to the Internal SDcard Directory, or If you would like the option to flash from either the External or Internal you can use the CWM Rogue Recovery.

Thanks. Its weird because I thought I flashed zips from the external SD card before. I thought that you should put all of the fies that you are going to flash on the external SD card just in case something happens to the internal memory. Or if you do a factory data reset then it will get erased and you won't have the file to flash.

LOL, it is good practice to copy the files to your external (if you have the space). I keep a copy of my needed .zips in a folder on my PC. Rooted - If you do a Factory Data Reset from CWM, all of your files will remain in tact.
As Always If This Was Helpful - Hit The Thanks!

Actually, it depends on the version you have installed. Solarnz' R4c v 3.2.0.0 custom recovery flashes from the external sdcard. Version 4.0.0.4 from Rom Manager only flashes from the internal "sdcard " and rogue recovery can flash from either.

True, there are other options; however he and I were referring to his current version 4.0.0.4.
and wanting the ability to flash from both the External and Internal
SDcards.

CWM and Externel SD card

After booting into CWM recovery, I tried to flash a rom but it was deleted off of my externel SD drive (Because I didn't know format /system includes it). Anyway, what's weird is that I was still able to boot to recovery because my CWM files were on the Externel SD card along with my backups. I confirmed this by trying to boot into CWM Recovery after taking out the Ext. SD card; did not work. Then I put my SD card into my computer via an SD card adapter and it said my Externel SD card had 7,789MB/7,789 MB free. Can someone explain this phenomenon? Thank you!~
P.S. The Rom is good to go now, I'm just curious as to where the hell my CWM files went.

How did you flash it? What were the steps you made?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I used the NVflash volume down and power. I formated and wiped everything possible. When I took the Ext. SD card out and put the EB froyo rom on it via my computer. Tried to boot into recovery to no avail; phone was bricked. put the ext sd card back in, was able to boot into recovery with cwm and the EB rom was there and so I installed it.
Which recovery image did you originally flash and what method did you use to flash it?
the one everyone's been telling me to. oneclickrecovery or something nvflash cwm i dunno. the image was after I rooted and after I removed Nova. The next time I flashed an image was after flashing EBFroyo.

I think their point is that you probably flashed CWM to your external card, which is an option in the flasher.

[Q] CWM cannot mount /sdcard

I just used the One-Click NvFlasher ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 to install CWM. It appears that there used to be an internal and an external version, but it sounds like the newest version now combines both into one? When I try to do a nandroid backup I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard." Is this because I have no external sd card, and if so, is there a way to backup to the internal sd card?

Use older versions of cwm that supports internal sd.

[Q] how to install eos 2

Hi guys,
I've got v.1 currently installed but I've seemed to hit a stumbling block trying upgrade to v.2. Normally I would go into recovery and install update via sdcard or zip.
But when I try to go to my sdcard all I can see is my internal storage and not the external sdcard. I have a feeling its because my internal storage is called 'sdcard'
How did you other guys install this update? Thanks
When I installed it, I went to "Install from SD Card" Then I Scrolled to the File and Flashed it, I think You have to put the 2.0 file on external1.
That's what I did. I put the new rom on the external sdcard. But in recovery when I choose 'sdcard' it only shows the internal storage. I have tried using a different sdcard but its just the same, it points to the internal storage.
Can I put the from on the internal storage space to update??.

i thought the updates had to be on the external sdcard, but i guess not.
thanks again

After ICS flash reboots to recovery

Hi guys
Please assist, i have unlocked, installed recovery.
My phone was not rooted, but apparently the ROM i installed wouldve done that automatically.
When rebooted, my device, booted directly to recovery?
I can access Fastoot protocol, access recovery fine, but it does not boot to the ROM?
When i tried to choose install from internal zip, it says "no files found" which is strange?
Please help me, device off, not sure what to do?
your rom zip should be on external sd card, not internal, internal sd card is what you should be flashing the rom too in recovery not from.

Thank you, i managed to get it sorted.
It seems like my download was corrupted or something (The actual ROM File)
Not correct, with a Motorola XOOM i flash the ROM with the zip file on the internal memory (folder DCIM) and work perfect like from a external sd card.

Are you using the rogue recovery?

no external sd in recovery

i have my rom on my external sd so that when I wipe data on my internal it wont erase it, but when I go to apply zip from sd card it give no option for external. Only when I go inside the internal I see the obvious folder for external sd, but theres no files. I dont want to transfer my rom to internal and then it disappear when I wipe system and data before I flash the rom.
oh yeah....v2.5.1.3 cmw

you will need the zip file to install your rom on the internal sd, it will not install from the ext sd....when you do a wipe of data it will not erase your int sd, believe me I have a ton of files on my inter sd, with lots of zip files of roms that I have install.
so what you have to do if you have already wiped and you are sitting on the red CWM...is plug the usb cable to your phone from pc, after you are in cwm go to mounts usb storage...hit that, you should see it the inter sd pop in your windows explorer, copy your rom to install over to your phone, then do your wipes it will not take the files away from your inter sd...then install your rom...
the only way to errase all the information from the INTERNAL SD, is going into CWM, advanced options, erase or delete all the information with the options on there
i just booted into stock GB and did a factory reset with a format usb. After it restarted, i put the rom on my internal. I wanted my internal to be wiped clean before i installed. You just dont know the crap left behind from old roms.
I think it's because of CWM is not mapped correctly. Correct me if am wrong.
