Greetings, everyone. I do not own the device, but my girlfriend does. Lately, she tried rooting her Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200 and asked me for help, I downloaded the correct root.zip file via my phone and sent it to her via bluetooth. After that, I made sure that it was saved on her MicroSD card and not just on the internal memory. Then I booted up in recovery, chose apply from sdcard or something like that...but then it always displays something like "No sdcard found" or something similar. Are there any ways to fix this or any other way of rooting her tab?
P.S. Forgive me if this issue has been raised before, I simply do not have the time to read other posts, threads, etc. I'm too busy with this semester in school. And I'm used to using cmd.exe for complex commands for my phone in Fastboot mode. :fingers-crossed:
Try having her transfer the zip onto the tablets internal memory instead and re-try it. I'm assuming you're using the v5.x.x CWM that aorth and/or gary built. The latest CWM that aorth built (v6.x.x) seems to have an issue with reading the external memory, if I remember correctly.

maybe you could try installing a different recovery, try the clockworkmod recovery that can be found in android development section of tab plus
continue loving your girlfriend!

oke question for TS:
1. are your girlfriend tablet use HoneyComb or already in ICS?
2. are you using CWM recovery instead of original recovery from Samsung?
if,
1. using honeycomb and haven't install CWM, download root.zip, and put it in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install update from EXTERNAL storage, reboot when finished.
2. using honeycomb and already install CWM, use the same root.zip above and put in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, choose root.zip and choose yes - install root.zip, reboot after finished.
3. using ICS and haven't install CWM, read my post here
Thank you all for the responses. I'll try to do it again sometime this week. At the moment, she's still on honeycomb and we used stock recovery from samsung. If I were to update it to ICS, I'd just connect her tab to my pc and open up kies, is that right?
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Is it possible for that 6.0.x cwm recovery by aorth to be flashed on this still-honeycomb tab?

about update to ICS, if u are at Austria yes u can do it through kies but if not, just download d firmware it from sammobile and apply it with odin, as simple as that..
Btw i rooted my P6200 using the stock HC and it was flawless.. good luck again
To everyone out here, is there any other way to root the P6200 model? The stock recovery always fails to recognize the sd card and internal memory.

Are you 100% sure it is on the external SDcard? By what method did you verify this?
Not being mean or dismissive at all - When I was running Honeycomb on my tab plus, the only easy way I was able to get things to the external card was to use Kies, or possibly mount via straight USB.
I didn't see an easy way to get to the external card via bluetooth or an onboard file manager because IIRC Honeycomb doesn't list the external card in the directory tree , the /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both point to the internal card.
I never did try a simple linuxy type mount command, partly because I am not sure what the target would have been named, but of course to do that one would need to be rooted, first.

update from kies only available on Austria. Do manually with odin to upgrade to ICS.
i guess it's possible to apply CWM 6.0.1.0 by aorth on honeycomb.

I downloaded rom manager and it said there was an update for my recovery. I installed it (version 4.0.0.4) and then flashed launchpad kernal. So far no issues. Just curious if anyone else has usedit or knows what improvements have been made.

CWM 4 uses the internal memory. This means you will not be able to see your external sdcard in recovery. Other then that it is great.
Thank you
Unless you don't intend to use your external sdcard for flashing or to hold a Android backup, I would recommend that you "downgrade" to solarnz's recovery from his thread in Development.
I am attempting to root my Xoom LTE (US) to EOS-Stingray-18 ICS.
So far I have unlocked, placed EOS-stingray-18.zip onto my SD card, booted into recovery with ClockworkMod v 4.0.0.4 but when I go to choose zip from sdcard the directories from internal storage (Alarms/, Android/, DCIM/ ...) are listed and I don't appear to be able to access the SD card. I have a 32M card in place and can view the files on the card if I boot up normally.
This is the first time I have tried to root my Xoom (or anything) so may be making some stupid mistake but would appreciate any help.

Stupid mistake is flashing that recovery.

That thread has the custom ClockworkMod recovery you need...
Or a better recovery..

Both good options...it's a matter of personal preference.
Thanks for the help. I used the Rogue Recovery and it worked!
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.

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.

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?
anyone figured out how to sort this?? really frustrating it just sayin E:can't mount sd card.. any help will be appreciated!!

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.

Fastboot
I had to use fastboot to flash an entire stock config when I got stuck in this loop.

Thanks for saving the last half of my hair which I hadn't pulled out yet.
Got the backup on SD ONLY after flashing the EOS recovery 1.5.0 (i tried the latest to begin with, did not work, made it worse flashing recovery from ROM Mgr)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...ing-flashing-unrooting-under-one-roof-59.html has this particular recovery listed.
I still cannot boot in recovery using power+volUP...i have to get at least adb running. Any suggestion would be golden.
error mounting /internal_sdcard!
error mounting /internal_sdcard! pls help me it got stuck in boot loop tried to wipe cache and user data bt cwm says error mounting /internal_sdcard!

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
