Hi!
I'm on SGS2 with Resurrection Remix v2.0 w/ Siyah v 3.2.6+ kernel.
My version of CWM is 4.0.1.5.
For some reason, I can't longer flash anything from CWM.
Whenever I reboot into CWM and choose the "choose zip from sdcard", I only get this error message: "E: Can't mount /sdcard". I don't have any external SD card on my phone, I have always used this method.
I've already tried to wipe cache without luck. If I choose "mount /sdcard", I only get "Error mounting /sdcard!" (This however, may be because it's referring to any external sdcard?)
I appreciate any answers!

So, when you put the .zip on your 'sdcard', are you putting it on the internal memory, or the external SD card?
And yep you're right - it's looking for an extsdcard to 'mount'.

I'm putting the .zip file in my /mnt/sdcard directory. Btw, when I can boot into the stock recovery, I have an option called "install zip from internal sd card". When I choose this option, I can access all my files and install the update that I want, but in CWM I can't!

Have you tried sticking the .zip on an external SD, and seeing if it shows up that way just to confirm? I remember having a similar issue on the Infuse a while back now, and I had to start flashing off the internal memory.
I think a re-install of CWM fixed things up, but that was a high-Development time, and we were getting new versions every day
Try the external thing, I reckon that's the problem. Might require an update to CWM in order to restore functionality. Alternatively, you may like to look into a replacement such as 4EXT or TWRP.
I found this kernel by Chainfire, which adds root and SU, and also CWM. You can flash it through ODIN as normal, very detailed instructions in there.
I also found this article, which may shed some light on the issue for you?
I cannot believe how hard it is to find a Recovery in the GS2 section. What a nightmare!

Hi juzz86!
Thank you for your response!
I do not have an external sd-card to try atm. I will look into the CWM alternatives if this does not work.
I found out that I had replaced my stock recovery with the CWM touch version, and this version allows me to use the "internal sd card" menu. This however, only works when shutting down my phone, and holding volume up+power+home. When using the fast option "reboot into recovery" from my phone, I still get the ordinary CWM - and I'm facing the same problem over again.
When trying to "mount /sdcard" in CWM, I get a standard "failed to mount" message
After looking into the Directory-bind app, I see that all my data is stored in my /sdcard folder, and nothing in the /sdcard/external_sd folder, so I followed the guide just for fun (since it doesn't really describe my problem), but it didn't work, and I still can't mount my /sdcard folder in CWM.
I'm going to see over the forums about the mount sdcard error in the forums, and try the kernel as suggested if nothing else works BB!
EDIT: I see that in newer versions of CWM, there should be an option for installing a zip from the internal sd card. My question is: Is it possible for me to update my version of CWM, while using the same kernel? I can't do this in ROM Manager.
Should be, yes. You'll probably need to use Fastboot or ODIN to flash it, so.e devices get zips but I'm unfamiliar with the GS2 Development.
Your best bet will be to find the CWM thread in one of the GS2 forums, and follow the instructions in there.
I wasn't aware that flashing a recovery through ROM Manager changed your kernel?

It didn't. My answer was a bit messy, sorry. I understand that you can flash a new kernel through odin or CWM, and therefore get a new version of CWM bundled - like the customized versions (like the link you provided). I only want to update my version of CWM, but stay on the same kernel as before. What Rom Manager is able to do, is updating your version of CWM (the official ones).
If I'm mistaking, please let me know.
No, that's right you can update CWM by flashing a kernel, but you can also find a standalone recovery.img, sometimes a flashable zip, or you can use ROM Manager. All three of these methods won't touch your kernel
I got the oposite problem...
Hi all i am new .. but basicaly my issue is:
I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my rooted Galaxy SIII I19300.
I've placed the rom inside an external sdcard, entered Recovery mode (clockworkmod CMW-based Recovery) and clicked "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard", after that the console presented me with an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/".
I've tried to select "mount /sdcard" in the mounts menu and it errors:
"Error mounting /sdcard!"
The sdcard works fine and I'm able to read/write from/to it without any issues in GSIII and in others cellphones..
The SDCARD got 2 gb and its formated in FAT32.
Any one help plz?
Format your sd card !
respected sir,
format your SD card , since cwm, twrp, and other recovery mods require mostly 'FAT32' format.
so, please take a bkp and format it to go ahead without probs!

hey guys and girls, hopefully you can help me out.
I'm using a t-mobile galaxy S, trying to flash a new rom after I rooted it. I followed the instructions, and I have CWM able to load. when I got into select the install from the SD card, I'm able to select the file (trying bionix frost), it tries to load it, but then comes back telling me 'Can't mount /sdcard' and any subsquent attempts to even browse for the install zip give me the same error. I can boot the phone into the rooted stock image, access anything on the SD card there fine, copy files to it, etc, but CWM will not install the ROM's or keep the /sdcard mounted.
anyone here run into this issue? I'm using CwM Voodoo lagfix Recovery 3.0.2.8x
It's been awhile since I flashed that ROM...
Did you change the mounts manually? Does the OP say to change mounts? Back then we had to change the mounts ourselves in CWM to UMMU.
I'm at work and just sending a quick reply..check the OP to see what your mounts should be
to clarify a bit, this isn't just on a specific ROM, this is for ANY rom I try, after I access any ZIP file through CWM, it unmounts the SD Card and won't let me get back to it unless I reboot, and the cycle repeats.
Ok. Sorry I can't help you with that. I'm still kinda new.
I'm sure you'll get the help you need soon especially with your last reply.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be of help.
I'm backing up and will format my SD card to see if this is the problem, saw this fixed a couple of errors like this for other peeps.
So since I couldn't get CWM to install the rom, I used ODIN and flashed to gingerbread. that's installed and working (had it fail the first time, but the 2nd installed and was up inside 10 minutes)
A buddy suggested posting this here instead of dev 'cuz my problem seems possibly more general
When I Odin flash CWM 5.0.2.6, CWM is never able to see, mount, or format my sdcard.
I'm stuck at square one. Without being able to mount or see the sdcard I can't actually use CWM for anything. I've tried several combinations of repartitioning and formating the sdcard in CWM (can't format it since it wont mount), in Android and in Windows, but no matter what I try CWM can't access the sdcard. Otherwise, I have no indication that there's anything actually wrong with the sdcard.
I should say it's an _internal_ sdcard as I have no external, if this is relevant. Any help is appreciated.
I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6 as there doesnt seem to be a newer one floating around (that's Odin flashable anyway)

Galaxy S2 GTi9100
Hi,
I rooted my phone today and am now trying to install Cyanogen Mod. I followed all steps on their Wiki but now am facing a problem.
- The wiki says "Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card. "
- I placed the update .zip file on the root of the external sd card. Seems like that was not what was intended.
- I followed these steps successfully:
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.- The next step is "Select the CyanogenMod update.zip. "
The problem is I don't see the CyanogenMod update .zip file anywhere in that list. Seems like I may have placed it in the wrong sd card?
When I try and reboot it just comes to the screen with the giant S and goes no further.
How can I resolve this problem?
Adding some more information after reading a few other threads.
- Looks like I placed the cyanogen mod update .zip file in the external sd and not the internal one (stupid!!).
Now I cannot get back inside the phone to try and place it in the internal sd.
How do I solve this?
Connect the phone to the PC and mount usb in recovery. You should see a storage device in windows & then just copy the files on it.
Ok. Just tried that. After I select 'mount usb storage', the next screen says on the top:
USB Mass Storage device
Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC
I then see an option to unmount.
On Windows explorer, I don't see the device.
Thinking back, I may have unchecked 'USB Debugging' before I started the process (for some reason that I cannot remember now). Would that cause a problem?
USB Debugging should not matter because you're in recovery.
I've not understand at well the question. You want flash the CM9 from clockwork mod? I've a Galaxy Gio, but in my case i have only to:
1 - copy the ROM in the root( after flash with manager of Android, with an SD adapter or in the other possible way)
2 - backup the old rom from cwm;
3 - reboot in cwm and if i have mount errors of /cache /data or some other partition i format it and mount it manually from cwm
4 - flash the zip i've copied at step 1
Then you have to wait and at the end, reboot.
What goes wrong in these steps for you ?
EDIT: If you don't see the .zip try to remove SD and use a SD Adapter, so you can copy files manually. Or if you want use CWM you can mount the device connecting device with USB cable, go in clockwork and do "mounts and storage -> mount USB storage" and copy files in the root "/"
You can use adb push command in recovery to push files to the phone.
You can also use fastboot to flash image files to the phone.

Step 1 went wrong
I copied the ROM in the external SD instead of internal sd. Now trying the adb option to push the ROM into the device root. Hoping that works.

This guide is same as my gio guide. The ROM goes in the root of external sd, not in internal memory. Try to reinstall CWM if you don't find the zip.

Thank you my friend. This worked!
Little did I realise that this simple sounding statement above would require me to set up a complete android development environment on my computer.
I'm still not sure if all that was needed but I was finally able to get the files on my device by doing an adb push.
Lovely education for me today!
Glad it helped. Sorry I forgot to mention that ... it's kinda natural to me (having the sdk installed).

I am (or was at the time of this post) a complete noob with no programming qualifications but now I have gone through a crash course.
I now have my S2 running CM7.
So ive been at this for 2 days. I finally got the micro sd card with both files to install rom but in clockworkmod recovery i cant mount sd card nor format or anything. I can mount and unmount in the normal settings of the device and see it in root explorer but thats it. Its formatted to fat32. also on rom manager where it says to install from sdcard it only takes u to the internal sdcard which makes no sense because i was told u cant install a rom from the internal sdcard.
PS. This is my first Android Device!!!!
yeah
I am in the exact same situation. I am rooted on 4.0.3 and I wanted to install 4.0.4 or one of the custom ROM's. This is not my first android device but I am at a loss. I can not enter fastboot, can't load anything from the SD card in CWM recovery (get the message E:Can't mount /sdcard/), can not connect via ADB on my PC.
I feel that I have enough skill to do all of this because I have done it in the past. My ADB works fine with my Galaxy Nexus (just updated that and installed new kernel) so I don't know what is causing the problem. I have tried different SD cards(3) as well and nothing.
The biggest problem is I can not get into fastboot and SBF if I wanted to. I have been having issues with drivers even though I have installed motohelper like 6 million times.
I have tried factory resets and wipes and everything. I tried to do the factory update that is being pushed to me and I get an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is stealing your thread but I think we are having the same problems.
check out my thread at xoomforums:
I PM'd it to u cus it dont let me put it here
Read all 3 pages. I think it will help u. posted same question there and a guy suggested to install the rogue cwm 1.5 recory via adb fastboot or whatever. he says that will read your sdcards. if i were u id try and fastboot on a different pc cus it looks like thats what we both have to do unfortunately. it looks like a pain!!! u have a xoom?

If you are using CWM recovery from Rom Manager (not recommended for Xoom) it does only read your internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???). So you need to flash a different custom recovery using adb/fastboot to flash a recovery.image file or, if you can flash through cwm (from internal sdcard) a recovery.zip file (either EOS or Rogue, depending on the ROM you will flash afterwards), Actually, any custom recovery is supposed to work for any rom, but in reality Eos works best for Eos and Rogue works best for the CM9 Kang.
Please, just remember, never flash a .zip file through fastboot, only an .image file!
+1 i agree with the above, fixed this last night. I download a couple recovery images, which were blank for some reason, so i downloaded the zips and extracted the recovery image folder. Then opened the command window from the folder with the recovery image and flashed it with fastboot. Now it works perfect.

This is my first attempt at unlocking and rooting. So far I did manage to get unlocked. Now I am stuck at: Can't mount/sdcard . . . . .
I have been following the thread: [HOW] Rookie Rooting, Flashing And UnRooting Under One Roof
It seems to be layed out quite well and well, I'd never have gotten this far if it weren't for following those directions. I'm not discouraged because I know this is just a stumbling block. I can't wait to kill the bloatware and see if I can O/C this beast just a little.
Good luck to the folks who posted above me. I will post my results here.

I think the solution is much more simple...
The recovery uses normally e: an external sd card , you just trying by d: internal sd card , so take another sd card and dun let it be internal sd card...
And the recovery back on working with you
I'm new to the SGS4G (been rooting for years since the early CM days on my G1), so please pardon my ignorance here. I'm unable to mount my SD Card with CWM. Yes, my card is formatted as FAT32 and is known-good in other devices.
If I boot into GB (VUVKJ6), then it has no problems accessing the SD Card locally or in Mass Storage mode via USB to my PC.
To get to the point where I'm at now, I followed this (to make sure I was fully stock KJ6) and then followed this beginning at step 6 (to get CWM on there so I can flash ROMs) but I get stuck at step 11 since I can't mount SD-Card.
I've tried at various stages with both red and blue CWM without luck. I've tried simply letting it mount it itself by trying to choose an update.zip from the SD Card and I've also gone into the Mounts menu to try and manually mount it.
Any thoughts?
-----------------------------
UPDATE: Solution was to format the SD Card within Android and on this specific device. I had cards formatted within Android on 3 different devices and they all had this same problem.

Weird. I wonder if it would help if you copy all of the files from the SD card to your computer, go into Settings, SD card and phone storage, Unmount SD card, and Format SD card, if it would then read it in CWM?

Weird. I wonder if it would help if you copy all of the files from the SD card to your computer, go into Settings, SD card and phone storage, Unmount SD card, and Format SD card, if it would then read it in CWM?

Not tried this yet. Will try this now with a couple of the cards I've tried.
By the way, thanks everybody for trying to help me! I really do appreciate it!

And what do you know? Of all things, this was the problem and I verified it with all 3 uSD cards I've tried! They've all been formatted via my old TBolt, a Fascinate, and Droid X and worked just fine in those devices.
Thanks for suggesting such an obvious and simple thing to try!
