[Q] Can't mount sd card

Hi,
I have a tablet EEE Transformer TF101 build number 8.6.5.21 rooted with CWM Recovery v3.2.0.1-roach2010-tf101-r1 installed but when in the recovery i try to access the sd card (for backup, for example) says "can't mount sd card". I already tried to find solutions such as formatting the sdcard into fat32 but nothing works.
Some help pls?

Not sure if this would work or not, but worth a shot. Have you tried downgrading to 8.6.5.19, then trying?

I'm thinking it has to be external, because it isn't mounting the sd card? I thought cwm always mounts the external card.

It does. External micro-SD card.
Internal SD-card is not supported, at least not with Roach's recovery. Not sure aboutthe XM Rogue recovery, but it seems to sport better support for lots of things, being based on CWM 5.x.x.x.

yes, from a friend of mine and it still doesnt work! ((

How are you formatting the sd card?
Try a program like SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

go back to Team Rogue Recovery and it will be able to mount both the internal and external SD memory

yes this is true. team rogue-cmw recovery will let you choose between the internal /mnt/sdcard/ and the /Removable/MicroSD/ for your backups. or you could flash a full clockworkmod recovery img and just make nandroid backups with rom manager or rom toolbox pro.

How do you go back to Team rogue recovery if your sd card will not mount? I have tried 4 different micro sd cards. Am I correct that they need to be formatted to fat32? Anything else need to be done to them?
Thanks in advance!!!

ok if youre trying to flash a different recovery.img to the tf101 you dont need a micro sd card at all. remember theres internal storage memory, then theres /mnt/sdcard/ which is also part of the internal memory , if you plug in a micro it will list as /Removable/MicroSD/ it looks as if youre getting them confused. now depending on the recovery it could be called someting else. team rogue recovery will call your internal /mnt/sdcard/ -internal memory- and it will call /Removable/MicroSD/ -sdcard- so it can get tricky. to make it easy you can always do backips to your internal and then copy them over to the microsd later.

had the same problem, try this:

[GUIDE] Format your new SDCard (especially 64GB) to FAT32

This is a very simple and quick guide to show you how to format your external SD Card to FAT32. It took me a total of about 4 minutes from start to finish to format my 64 GB SD Card to FAT32. The main benefit of this is that your SD Card will now be recognized in CWM. I could not get Windows to format my SD Card by itself, which I was I use the program mentioned below.
Step 1: Download and Install EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition
http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html
Step 2: Insert your SD Card into your computer with SD Card reader and open up the partition program
Step 3: On the main screen you should see your SD Card. Right Click and select format partition. Put in Partition Label (Optional), Select FAT32, and select a cluster size. The smaller the cluster size, the less wasting there is of disk space. I chose 4kb. Then Click "Ok"
Step 4: The Format will go into Pending Operations. Now click "Apply"
Step 5: Profit! Your card should now be FAT32.

Also you can just use this simple tool: fat32format

I have refrained from doing this to my 64 gig card because IIRC doesn't FAT32 prevent you from saving any file over 4 gigs??

you're fine with exFAT as long as you don't want to flash a CM/AOSP based rom. Otherwise, you're just going to end up with a corrupt sdcard.

That is correct however you might want to read this article: Team Epic: Why not exFAT?
Also CWM and TWRP can't read your SD Card properly until you format it to Fat32.

I realize that, but I have movie RIPs that are over 4 gigs, so I just let CWM write to the internal storage & then back it up to my PC.

As of this moment, unfortunately, CWM doesn't support internal storage. There is one alpha build out there version 6.0.1.0 that I haven't tried yet, but so far every other version up to 5.8.4.9 either doesn't work properly or doesn't have an option for internal memory. In that case you may want to switch to TWRP and just use the internal storage there if you want to keep exFAT on your external SD Card.

What version are you on now? Try choosing to flash a zip file, anytime I have done that it errored out and went back, wouldn't let me read the partition. The only exception is version 5.8.4.9 non-touch which uses the external SD card as it's only memory option and even then you still need to reformat it as FAT32 to get it working. So far, no version of official CWM has supported internal SD card at all, the default was always external but only started working with 5.8.4.9.
EDIT: Just checked CWM 6.0.1.0 is the first version that not only shows options for both the internal and the external memory, but also works with both as well. But upon further checking it's not official CWM either, just CWM-based.

The version I'm using (5.8.4.9) works just fine with the internal storage, I use it all the time & have done 3-4 restores from it also with no problem,
It also installs zips just fine, I do it all the time.

I'm using the kexec cwm right now listed as 6.0.0.8. Can't remember the other version number but it was the one included in the original root thread. Also didn't have an issue with the touch based kexec cwm that was linked with the first cm9 rom. Only errors related to flashing a zip file I've seen were corrupt downloads or flashing a kexec rom on a noncompatible cwm. Haven't tried the official one through rom manager but I tend to avoid that app anyways.

Just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, I just restored a CWM BU made two days ago from my internal storage (I figured worst case scenario I have to start over with all my apps)
The restore worked perfectly & it is definitely coming from the internal storage as CWM does not see my 64 gig card at all.
There is no way I am going to format a 64 gig card to a file system that limits me to under 4 gigs in file size, half the reason I bought that card was so I didn't have to worry about large file size.

I find it very interesting that CWM is giving you an option for internal SD card. Please tell me which version you are using and the exact words you see. Perhaps a photo? I just flashed 5.8.4.9 non-touch and I see no such option for internal SD card. The only memory option there goes directly to my external SD card without even asking.

I am using (5.8.4.9) non-touch version.
I could care less if its touch or non-touch or what it looks like as long as it works.
Mine has been backing up to the internal memory /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup by default & never gives me the option to do it anywhere else.
When I first installed it, I was pissed that it didn't detect my 64 gig card not realizing at the time it was because of the file system.
I tried to find an option to BU to the card, but there was no way to choose it. At that point, I figured who cares really as long as it works.
I flashed the root66 ROM & immediately made a BU. I then restored it to make sure it worked before I went any further.
It worked fine, so from then on every few days I copied the BU's to my PC & didn't worry about it.

Wow, I feel like a complete idiot. Apparently (and I have no idea how this happened) but my SD card got cloned onto my internal storage. So actually what's happening is that CWM 5.8.4.9 is by default to internal storage and in fact doesn't give you an option for external SD card at all. CWM-based 6.0.1.0 that I linked finally shows and works with both and so does TWRP but only when you format to FAT32. So ignore that I said CWM doesn't see internal storage, that was in fact it's default this whole time.

Format Int or Ext SD?

I fell upon this thread for 2 reasons
1. Insufficient memory downloading apps from GPStore ( 9/16GB Remaining on SD + 9/16GB Remaining on Enternal + 600MB Remaining on System)
-- I dont understand why that is happening.?!?!?
2. Is it neccesary to Format the Enternal memory (16GB)?

@open1your1eyes0,
so what you are saying is:
- its NORMAL to see CWM in both Internal and External SD? Therefore, it does not matter which CWM I use to flash a ROM? CWM 6.x.x.x vs CWM Touch 5.x.x.x vs TWRP?
Like right now I am copying all my internal storage to my PC & external storage card(merging)

Only CWM 6.x.x.x will see both where as CWM 5.x.x.x will see only internal memory. But even if you use CWM 6.x.x.x, to work with external SD card it has to only be formatted in FAT32.

[Q] External SD Card Space

just flashed paranoid android 12, while i was doing that i made a backup of my old rom in CWM and it never ended up showing up on my SD card, after flashing my rom i opened up my SD card on my laptop and it seems to be that alot of memory is going to no where.. i highlighted everything in the folder and it says its all about 350mb and all my music is about 300mb. Before i open up the SD card it says that theres 500mb out of 1.8gb free. 1.8gb - 300mb = 1.5gb. Is it the backup that i cant see thats taking up all the memory? if so how would i make it show up? or is it something else?

That is weird normally you should be able to see your backup as a folder. Mine is set under sdcard/clockwordmod/backup and the backup I got is 581mb and is very visible both to es file explorer and to my desktop pc. Something maybe up with your sdcard. I've had invisible files on a knock off 16gb MS Pro that I ordered from china. Fixed it by formatting the memory card a few times with the PC though.

Could my internal storage be dead?

Suddenly, from last week onwards, my internal storage seems to be having some problems.
It stopped working last week and is showing some very strange issues.
Under Settings > Storage, it only lists 1.45 GB of total space instead of the 8 GB it's supposed to.
Nothing gets mounted to /mnt/emmc
Using adb shell, nothing related to the internal storage appears when using the mount command.
Under CWM, I cannot mount /emmc
I've tried reflashing CWM and ROMs using NVFlash and still the same problem persists.
Every time I start Cyanogen Mod, the little "SD card is safe to remove" comes up
When I try to mount /mnt/emmc from Cyanogen Mod, it just brings up this message again.
Any opinions?
Thanks.
EDIT: It works now, I did a nandroid restore of the stock WIND firmware and that freed up /emmc... I don't know why this happened when all of my other efforts did nothing.

/emmc/ is your sdcard, not internal flash.
I've had CM7 corrupt my drive. Had to format and start over.

My Sandisk 8 GB class 10 microSD card become corrupted. Most files were OK but some jpg and a backup were unable to be read. When read/transfer/copy was attempted of the faulty files it locked up my computer. I tried various programs to fix and/or retrieve those files and tried a CHKDSK repair but those also locked up my computer so I saved whatever I could and did a full reformat, not the quick one, which completed without a problem and appears to work in the phone without any problem (yet?). You should do the same.

I lost my emmc early this year, think from flashing the wrong kernel. Couldn't find a way to recover. Will start doing more frequent external SD card backups.
Another odd thing I have is going into car mode even though I froze it with Titanium backup. Comes and goes with flashing different stuff. Recently flashed Mazout's on 2.3.4 and working good. But occasional BSOD that requires a battery pull and wipe Dalvik.

...Except no.
When my SD card was removed the problem persisted. Missing 5+ GB.
My SD card is 4GB... How could I be missing more than the capacity of my SD card?
/emmc/ is the internal SD card... the way this ROM manages internal storage. It is configurable in CyMod.
/emmc/ is my internal flash in this case, no doubts.
For anyone who is curious, be careful with mount commands as they will make recovery from this difficult and may be the cause of the problem.

Blank MicroSD Card

I used to have to have a 32gb MicroSD card in my Note 3 which i used to use for my files. After I rooted my phone, I thought it would be a good idea to store my TWRP backups to my MicroSD card as it frees up internal storage but however after I initially made my 1st backup to my card, the system booted up and apparently the card was blank. I know this to be false as I have loads of photos on it and I selected the MicroSD card in recovery to make my nandroid backup to and after like 3 minutes, it was made.
Question is. How do I get my MicroSD card back to normal. I'm aware of formatting it and then mounting it in recovery but I don't want to lose my files on the card. I inserted the card into my laptop and the command prompt said it had a RAW file system.

I used Recuva. It's from the people that make CCleaner. Worked for me. But honestly, don't let it restore files that are partially damaged, because if they're music or photos or videos, they won't play/display correctly, and it'll cause wakelocks from the media scanner until you find and delete them.

Don't reformat, just put the microSD card into your computer (with an adapter, or with something that will let it show up as mass storage, not MTP). Point Recuva to the card. It'll tell you what files are partially restorable and fully restorable. Like I said, don't restore the damaged stuff. From experience, what'll happen if you do is you're gonna get wake locks and no app will be able to tell you which files are damaged. So you'll end up having to format the entire card anyways to get rid of the wake lock/damaged files.
