Just unlocked using EZ. I'm running cwm 6.0.1.0 and the lk_aosp_jb_beta-v0.5 kernel. I am coming from stock rom I wiped data/cache/dalvik. I reboot come to the CMX cyanogenmod 10 boot animation screen and it just sits there with the screen flashing every few seconds.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong or what is going on. I'm using the 20120817-UNOFFICIAL cm10 rom. Id also like to note upon backing up roms I've been getting "Unable to find mounted volume /sdcard" "Error finding an appropriate backup handler" I try mounting the internal sdcard in cwm but it doesn't do anything, I can mount and unmount everything else. Please help me out?
Edit: I'm going to flash beans8 so I can check my external sdcard is formatted in FAT32
ReEdit: Still no luck. Any advice?
I think your best bet is to copy everything off of your sdCard and reformat it (Fat32 of course). Are you running the on-kexec CWM also?

Have you ODIN back to stock or rooted stock ?
plus /mnt/sdcard is the internal card /mnt/extSdCard is your external card

I was using the CWM 6.0.1 that was posted a few days ago for the kexec stuff. I was going to update to the latest official cmw but have not as of yet. I used EZ to flash the CWM I have now so I don't really know?

I had ODIN back to stock and then ran adam's CASUAL to root and unlock
I took all the info off my SD card last night formatted both through CWM and will give this another go with the new nightly build today. It was strange, with my external SD card mounted in the phone last night plugged into USB on my PC it listed both the internal and external as General hierarchy File systems. But when I pulled out the microSD and put it into my card slot adapter it showed it as a FAT32 card. I'm puzzled but either way I reformatted it to FAT32 and popped it back in the phone. Then I formatted the internal via CWM. Like I said I'll try it again in a few after I make some backups and titanium my stuff.
Just tried again. Still stuck on the boot animation screen. Everything is as it should be according to everything I've read.
EDIT: Finally got it. I flashed liquid and then flashed the new nightly over that after clearing data/cache/dalvik.

Hello fellow Transformers,
I've flashed Clockwork recovery and I have root access but when I try to flash a custom ROM I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard".
Tried reflashing the recovery img, tried manually mounting the /sdcard ... same error.
I used this thread to gain root access + flash recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714 .
I don't have a microSD card so the /sdcard I'm talking about is the internal 16GB one.
Hope it's even mountable... or do I have to use a microSD card?
Would appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Edit: tried a microSD card - won't mount as well
That root method seems to be pretty unreliable, judging by all the comments in that thread. Try flashing this version of CWM and try your custom rom again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093818
If that still doesn't work, I'd say you should unroot and then try one of the more reliable rooting methods.

I saw that thread but how can I flash this Clockwork img if I can't mound SD card? can I use fastboot boot recovery ?
Hah! Good point. You got me there...
Do you have another microSD card laying around? As far as I know CWM requires you have the files on a microSD, not the internal SD.
This is the method that I used and had no issues with:
http://asustransform.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19-how-to-root-your-asus-transformer/
You could try re-rooting your device. This method requires you to downgrade your firmware, though.
Thanks , i'll try the rooting method you did.
Try another microsd card first. I've seen people in other threads with this problem, and a different card did the trick.
Did you find a fix for this? I did a factory reset twice and re-rooted twice via the guide above. Also tried a differnt root method. Tried 3 different SD cards and reformatting them to fat32 (also tried fat and ntfs just in case ) none of them will mount in CWM recovery??
My tf will recognize the SD card when booted but not in clockwork. Im using the "standard " CWM as I can't flash the modded version. Anyone please!! I'm stuck on 3.0.1

Used the nvflash method, which flashes the modded CW, and bought a simple 4gb microSD card and it worked great.
Make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32.
Thanks for the quick response. nvflash it is then. forgot that's used for more than just unbricking

Well, I was able to nvflash the modded cmw and prime 1.4 which was my primary goal but even this cwm won't mount the removeable or internal sd for me (still not sure which one mounts) reformatted 2 different cards to fat32 on my pc even tried formatting on the tf still nothing. Any other ideas ?

In that case, assuming you did everything, I suggest RMA... It should work so if it doesn't, maybe there's a fault with the sd card slot...
The best test is to take a microSD card that works for someone else on the Transformer and test it on yours, but it's hard finding someone with the same tablet next to you I guess...
That's what I don't get. It mounts fine when the tf is on, mount no problem on my other devices, they just wont mount for cwm on the tf. I'm gonna mess around a bit more to see if anything else works. I have some light screen bleed so it would give me a reason to return if I end up needing to go that route. Thanks again for the suggestions !
Edit: not sure why but CWM recognized the sdcard when I partitioned it, then I was able to mount it and do a backup. Still a little confused that it would recognize/mount the SD to partition but not to install or backup. But it works now

I have screen bleeds as well but very small one and I didn't even notice them until I saw that "Screen bleeds" thread so I'm not going to return it for now... if it'll get worse I will.
It Works!
Thanks to jcarrz1 reply to my post in Clockworkmod recovery 3.2.0.1 roach-tf101-r1 I found the solution to my SD Card not mounting. It was indeed solved by first Partitioning my external SD card. After that CWM mounts the SD card just fine and uses any files I have stored there.
i have the same problem
can u explain what are you exaclty doing to fix it ?
edit : FIXED !
Mount Error Fixed
After battling with the error of the Clockworkmod recovery not been able to mount the SD Card for days, I was finally able to get this to work by formatting the SD Card using the SDFormatter. It can be downloaded here
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
After installing the SDFormatter, formt the card accepting the default settings.
Good luck

I tried to do a search on this but found nothing, and I'm also apologizing ahead of time if I'm posting in the wrong section.
I am trying to get my LG G2x to a stock ROM using this guide: (can't post link since it's my first post, but it's "how to unroot the tmobile g2x" at the unlocker.
I was able to follow the steps and installed clockworkmod on the phone (v4.0.1.5). I am however having problem on step 6. When I do the the backup on clockworkmod (CWM), it automatically is doing the backup on the phone's internal memory, and not the sd card.
I tried to mount the phone with the PC and cut and paste the folder to the SD card, thinking CWM would pick it up after a reboot of the phone. However, this is not the case. I tried to find the SD card by trying to do "install zip from SDcard" in CWM, but there is only a DCIM folder in the _ExternalSD folder, and nothing else. No matter what I do, the backup is always saving to the internal memory, and not the SD card. If I leave the backup on the phone's memory, it is showing up under recovery in CWM, but I'm guessing it's not possible to flash the phone while it's running from the internal memory.
I formatted the card at least 3 times, and even tried another card just to be sure, but no luck still.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to do something to mount the card or unmount the phone memory? If anyone could please help. I have to send in my phone for warranty in a few days, and I desperately need to get it back to stock. Thanks.

Worked like a charm. I guess I had flashed the internal and SD option for nvflash, and that's what was messing up. 5.0.2.7 allows you to save only to SD card, so it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

Hey guys,
So I flashed my Rogers i727R to CM9 a4 and found that when I installed ROOT browser to get to my files on my internal sdcard it was completely blank yet the files/apps/back ups are there still for sure. Is this a known problem or is mine just messed up?
Thanks
External SD is emmc not /emmc/SD card. Internal is /SD card. That's how it is with mine on cm9 a4

The standard mounting in CM9 on a SkyRocket is for the internal sd card to be mounted in /emcc and the external sd card to be mounted in /sdcard.
Thanks guys, I figured that out. It looks like the problem is MUCH deeper. When in CWM recovery I can not back up or restore at all. I can navigate to "clockworkmod/backup" and SEE the folder but it says it's empty (it's not). I get "E: can't mount sdcard". I've tried the CMW Touch version too and I get the same outcome. I've formatted the card through stock, I've odin'd back to stock, I've done everything. "E:Can't mount sdcard" has plagued my fu**ing life. I have googled and searched my fingers off yet nothing works. I can see the card, the card has data, I can backup and recover through the ROM Manager with stock firmware but no matter what I do I can't do sh*t through recovery. What makes things worse is when I was using CM9a4 I couldn't back up or restore anything at anytime and when I went into storage I would have the memory greyed out (no colors indicating pictures/data/music/etc.) yet I could access all my data.
I'm ready to pitch this thing out the window. I try ONE ROM, follow instructions to the T and this happens...

I just now restored to CM9 a4 using touch recovery. I go back and forth between this and Sky ICS. Not sure what your issue could be.
I have no idea what to do next. I've tried everything.
Here's one thing...
when I navigate through ROOT Browser the sdcard is showing in the initial folder AS WELL as in mnt/sdcard
so the same card is at:
/sdcard AND mnt/sdcard
is this weird?
have you resolved this?? it just happened to me, can't mount internal sd
Isn't the internal sd mounted at /emmc on cm9?
Edit that's what I get for only reading the last 2 posts... NM, I guess.

Just a heads up. I was in the process of flashing a new rom and used goomanager to update my recovery. It had me flash twrp 2.4.0. It was a successful flash. I then rebooted into recovery, did my normal wipes, including system, and when I went to install, when I hit external sd, it bounced right back to internal. I tried to access my sd card, and it showed it was empty. I had to odin back and start over.

I experienced the exact same thing. So after you flashed back via odin, did that fix the missing external sd issue in TWRP 2.4? For now, I just flashed the previous version of TWRP. I was then able to see my external sd again.

What size is you ext SD card? TWRP has been known to have trouble recognizing cards over 16GB. I have a 16GB ext sdcard and the latest TWRP and Ive never had trouble flashing from external.
Not using an sdcard here, but all has been fine for me this far.

Hmm. Maybe they broke something when they added exFAT support? What formatting is your card btw?
Hi,
I can't mount the SDcard in any recovery. The strange thing is that I CAN acces the card in the OS(Maximus HD) using ESfile explorer, and I CAN acces the card when connected with USB to my PC.
So at this moment, I can't flash anything anymore..
I have S-OFF and running Maximus HD. It happend when I tried to flash another ROM. The installation went fine but after the installation there was only 47 MB left as phone storage the rest was ''other''.
I couldn't fix it, so I wiped the rom, formatted the SD card so I had a clean start to try another ROM.
After this, the pc recognized the SD card as only 47 MB(total size). This was a problem, I couldn't reinstall a new ROM because there was not enough space..
I fixed this using ADB sideload and pushed the MaximusHD rom back to my phone. This worked and so at this point my phone is running fine, all the storage is back But as I said, I can't flash anything anymore
I tried different recovery's but they all say, can't mount /sdcard/.
Anyone ideas?
Thanks Allready!
