Currently when trying to access my SDCard in CWM it says "Error mounting /sdcard!" I have tried formatting it on my computer to exFAT and trying again but it still can't mount it. If I try to format on TF I get the same error so it won't even let me format it! Help please! I am able to boot into Android. Also the MicroSD appears to mount fine once in Android. Why won't it mount in CWM?
Running the ARHD superwipe script from cwm should mount and format it so it can be mounted in the future.
I flashed superwipe and it still can't mount SD.
And superwipe didn't delete all of the files in /sdcard/!
And just to clarify the thing that isn't mounting is my MicroSD.
You need a CWM that supports MicroSD (E.G. Rouge or Roach 3.2.0.1)
The directorry is /removable/microsd
internalstorage is /sdcard/
Nothing has changed and it worked before perfectly. Like when I do install from sd card and then instead of hitting internal which showed /sdcard/ I hit the other option which showed /removable/MicroSD/
You've Formatted your MicroSD to Fat32 correct?
No, I need to do that currently it is exFAT.
Allright I formatted and about to see if it works. Will update.
That's probably the issue then, give that a shot
Fixed! Thanks!

I attempted to partition the sd card with ext4, and was not able to get it to work. I then attempted to return the sd card to fat32 using but now Clockwork Recovery refuses to mount the sd card, failing with only 'Error mounting sdcard'
I've done this procedure before, and was able to use Windows XP to re-partition and format the sd card at which point Clockwork was able to mount it, but this time it's not working.
So my questions would be, what are the specific parameters of the partition is the phone looking for? Should it be MBR, GUID? Is there some sort of option during the partitioning or format I'm missing? What about volume label?
I've checked fstab and recovery.fstab and they both list vfat as the partition type. At a loss here, would hate to have a bricked phone simply because I can't take the darned sd card out.
Hey Guys
I am eager to use the revolver rom supplied here-so i downloaded it and started in recovery mode.
the problem is i cannot mount my sd. I read in the forum that i should format my sd. then i try to do this in clockwork it gives me the same error cannot mount sd card
i have clockworck v3.1.0.1
any suggestions?
Thank you.
use a small sd card, 2gb or less
I wanted to wipe my phone entirely and start clean before installing Virtuous Inq but I messed up somehow and now my SD Card won't mount. I had MIUI running on my HTC Sensation.
Here's what I did to my phone today -
1. First I copied my entire SD card to my computer.
2. Next I formated my SD card and deleted everything on my phone.
3. Then I went into Clockwork and Wiped Date/Factory reset.
I was hoping it would bring me to Stock but that didn't happen. It just reset MIUI. Then when I tried to mount my SD it just says I can remove even when I click mount.
Anyone know what I can do?

I suspect the problem was in the formatting of your SD card. For the phone to mount it you probably need it formatted as FAT32. Did you format using a computer? Win/Mac/Linux?

This is the same SD card that I got w/ the Sensation. I never had to format or do anything to it.
OK, but you said in your original post that you formatted the SD card (item 2). If you formatted the SD card using a filesystem other than FAT32 (e.g. NTFS or HFS+) then your phone won't be able to mount it - that was what came to mind.
Have you tried to remount it using adb?
CODE: mount -o rw,remount -t /sdcard

Please see the above thread. I think the trick may be you need to insert the formatted sd card into the phone while its running VI.

Well I formatted the SD card with MIUI I thought that would wipe it clean so I start a new basically. Apparently that wasn't the case.

No because I don't have a Micro SD Card Reader. Without that am I pretty much screwed...?

I don't have a Micro SD Card Reader. Does that mean I have no other options?
Bump. Character Limit.
What ROM recovery are using right now. If you are using 4EXT Recovery it have format tools on the recovery. If CWM wipe the sd card is same as format. Or you can't just mount the card using ROM recovery and format on PC.
I had the same problem with the SD card. Formatting in CWM didn't help.
Resolved it by these steps:
1. Format the new SD card with fat32 on pc.
2. Switch off the phone and remove the battery.
3. Insert the new SD and the battery back.
4. Power on in recovery mode (volume down+power).
5. Find "Partition SD card" and partition it with 64KB (CWM will partition the SD to 4GB). It should do the Mounting.
6. Reboot the phone normally.
7. Go to Settings>Storage. It should be showing 4GB free space on SD.
8. In storage options pick "Unmount SD card" and then pick "Erase SD card" in same menu, Don't remove the card from phone!!! , it shoud bring SD back to original storage.
9. Mount SD back and copy back the data from the original SD.
Hope it'll be heplful.
Hi guys,
My SD card got corrupted before flashing a rom, so I'm a bit stuck (I can access the CWM menu, the kernel is fine).
So I formatted the card to FAT32 (tried other formats) but when I try and flash an update.zip from it I get
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
I also can't mount the sd card from the CWM menu.
So I'm thinking, are there some files missing from the SD card that CWM/android need to interact with it? I can imagine these files were wiped when I did a format. Like superuser files or something? You know also, those hidden files beginning with '.'
I've tried all the usual methods like formatting using SDFormatter and stuff - still, CWM can't see it (my computer can if USB is mounted). Am I right in thinking I need some kind of system files on the SD card?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Card could be bad, try another one. If it works, trash the 1st one.

I also think that the SD card has the problem, I had also the same case before, but when I try my cousins memory card the SD card is now mounted in CWM..
for fixing you can try this commands on cmd
chkdsk /x /f (your sd card name)
and then press enter
WARNING:after fixing some bad sectors you will noticed that your some apps or things were zero bite on sd card.
INFO:"(your sd card name)" is means your card name for example like h: s: k: etc.and like this command
chkdsk /x /f h:
I hope this is appropriate for the Development forum as it relates to the two recoveries here - CWM 6.0.1.4 and TWRP 2.3.0.0. I have previously posted in both those threads. I have not seen any comments about problems so it would be good to know if I am not alone.
I have the 64Gb version of the TF700T with JB (unfortunately, no NVflash).
I have been using the Sandisk 64Gb UHS1 card. It came formatted with exFAT and was one of the few that worked OK under the original firmware. I could not get either CWM or TWRP to see the card at all in recovery mode.
I found a spare 16Gb card that was formatted in Fat32. That worked fine and mounted without a problem under both CWM and TWRP.
I then did a full format of the 16Gb card under Windows 7 to exFAT and it would not work. With CWM I tried a simple backup and got 'Can't mount backup path'. Then tried to Mount /sdcard and got 'Error mounting /sdcard'. In TWRP I could not select or mount the card.
Next I did a full format to NTFS. With CWM I still have the same problem. With TWRP it allows me to select the card and it can be browsed in TWRP's File Manager. However, when I try to create a backup I get an error creating backup path.
Is it just me or can no one properly mount and backup direct to the external card with CWM or TWRP when the card is formatted in exFAT or NTFS?
As the 64Gb card cannot be formatted with Fat32 then does that mean I will not be able to use my 64Gb card and backup direct to the card?
TIA
norm
EDIT: The precise error I am getting from TWRP is 'E:Unable to create folder: /external_sdcard/TWRP (errno=30)'.
It has to be FAT32 for some reason. I had the same issue so I bought a cheap card just to have an SD Card with my nandroid backups on it.
NTFS mounts as read only in TWRP which isn't all that useful but that's due to the kernel. exFAT has a much stricter license than regular FAT so I doubt that you will ever see exFAT support in a Linux kernel.
Maybe I will dabble with the kernel config & try to get NTFS to mount writable.
What about ext4, is it possible to format in ext4 and have android recognize it and the recovery... just a thought since Linux does support it and IMO ext4 is superior to fat32 and ntfs.
Moved to correct board (hint, unless you actually POST development, it doesn't belong on development......)
