Make sure your as card is readable in your computer. I've actually make the mistake of formatting my SD card thinking it meant internal SD. So I pull it real fast just to realize I list ALL my data anyway. Point is, after that my SD card wouldn't mount. As long as your SD is in good shape it should mount in recovery.

Not the issue. I KNOW what he is talking about. It is specific to the new recovery.

I re-read and noticed the "latest" recovery. I never upgraded myself. Still 5.8.1.3.

I know this may be a stupid question, the G2X did not come with an SD Card, so is there a way to flash a custom ROM without an SD Card?

Yes there is!! Go over to the development section and read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 you would have to.
1.root
2.install INTERNAL recovery via nvfash
3. Flash away...
Internal recovery will let you flash stuff in the g2x internal storage..thus eliminating the need of sd card.
G2X
Yep. Flash the latest internal SD version of cwm in the Dev section

NvFlash has been updated to use internal or external by Krylon360!
Read some more!
.....
Kept reading, and did not see anything about internal...and if I wanted a ROM, I would have to place it on the SD Card, I am just going to get one of the Gingerbread ROM's, but my question is, how is the battery life, is it still horrible? Can someone post a video tutorial about how to internal recovery via nvfash? Internal recovery is Clockwork Mod Recovery Correct? I am coming from installing custom ROMS on the HTC HD2, so I am not new to this, but I would like a video step by step, and even if I get that far, I have to put the ROM I want on the SD Card which I do not have, in order to flash it....
Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I have the correct video and info, so I do not brick my phone
Hi. I just installed CM 7.1 on my G2x and for some reason it's not detecting the internal SD card. Is there some thing I need to do to fix this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It's at /mnt/ennc
Weird place for it IMO, but I'm sure there's a way to change it.
Aha. So it is. Unfortunately apps like the gallery and camera are saying I have no SD card. Is there a way to mount it so it's detected properly?

Yes there is. CM7 has a setting for swapping the mount points of the internal and external sdcards. I am not running cm7 currently though and can't remember where the setting is. After you change the setting, reboot for everything to mount properly. Ask over in the cm7 thread where the setting is or hopefully someone else will comment here.
The other solution would be to get an external sdcard for your phone. In my opinion that's the better solution but it also costs money so ...
Thanks for the replies. For right now I restored the stock ROM. There were a few things I didn't like about CM but I'll probably flash it again when I have more free time to mess with it.

I looked for an answer before posting but couldn't find it and hoping someone can help out. I rooted my rogers skyrocket and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot in recovery I cannot see the .zip file on the SD Card but I can see it in file manager. Any ideas or solutions?
Is the zip on the external or internal SD?
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
If on internal u have to select install from internal

Its on the external card.
Is it on the root of external sdcard? Excuse me for asking the obvious question but a lot of times its something silly that's been overlooked.

Yes, its on the root of the external SD card but I can only see the folders and no other files.
Look at the file format. Make sure its .zip and not .zip.zip. sometimes copying files from your computer to your phone will do this.

Its .zip and not .zip.zip but I am only seeing it in the file manager or on the computer when the phone is connected but in CWM all I see is the folders of the SD card and no other file.
This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.
I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.
Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.
Try flashing cwm again or flash touch cwm.

Is there any way on the gs3 to save your nandroids to the ext SD card?
Mine shows the option greyed out.

If you booted into CWM using the EZ Recovery app then you would notice that you can manually save backups to either sd card.

It might also be that you don't have your external card formatted to fat32. CWM doesn't like the exFat format that I believe all big cards come in.

If your talking about rom manager then yea thats normal!
On a side note, I recomend flashing files manually in CWM recovery...you would not believe how many threads I have helped folks get out of a softbrick or bootloop situation by flashing with rom manager. The app works great, but you still need to know the background information on what your flashing! To many people think since they can pull the file up on RM, it must be compatible, or they flash with the wrong recovery = soft brick! Part of the main reason my guide is written in its fashion...provides proper instructions to flash, makes one read a bit, and repeats its self to pound the info into ones head. Not tryin to preach to ya, just wanted to share some possibly useful info to yourself and others. thx
I was wondering the same about saving to external from rom manager. So our only option it looks like is to boot to recovery and manually go to save it to the external sd?

Yeah that's what I was saying. And I don't flash anything with room manager lol. Just bought it back when I had the OG droid and then I seen that option so I was just curious.

If you mean when you're on the CWM and try to do anything you get an error that the SD can't be mounted, then I'm afraid you will need to take the phone back to stock mode and go up until the version you were running when the issue happened.
If you search over Google with the exact error you will find lots of solutions, even here on XDA, but I wasn't able to get it work (it happened to me once) and I solved it by doing what I just mentioned above.
Good luck with this!
