Ok first thing first
if you are going to insult me because this is toooooo easy for you then please then move along, I installed ClockworkMod on Tmobile G2X and Samsung Galaxy 4G and it worked great
With that said, I installed ClockworkMod by clicking on the download.bat, the forum is Nvflash unbricking released!
Anyway, with that ClockworkMod I can't read any files in the microSD card or the SDCard in the keyboard
Any help will be MUCH appreciated

No insults, but why would you not post this in Q&A? This is not development related at all. Mods will move it for you.
Now on to the Q&A:
You shouldn't be able to read the SD card in the dock IIRC, but the µSD(MicroSD) in the TF itself is readable, because it's the only way to load update.zips. Have you tested the µSD in a card reader, and is it accessible in Android? Some µSD cards don't show up in Clockword. Try a different card to make sure your CWM install is correct.

Your likely to be "insulted" because you insult others, ask questions that make no sense and then post a question in the development thread.

I already have Asus Eee Pad Transformer with ClockworkMod 3.2, works great, and Gingerbread 3.2
Anyway, I just think people like you are annoying. I said if you are going to insult me then PLEASE don't type, but there you go, Keyboard Warrior
Anyway, there is a guy that posted a thing that was actually working, System.dmg and everything
I think it's useful to teach to other people, but in the spirit of this forum, 99% of questions are stupid, so I'm getting the hell out of here because of smart @sses like you

Your killing me smalls
just try a small sd card, like a 2gb. i have trouble with larger sd cards
CWM Recovery has support for the various storage locations "hard-coded" into the image. That's why you see differnt versions for different devices. If you look through the Transformer development forum, you'll find several tweaked Recovery images that support the internal flash, MicroSD slot, dock SD slot, USB slot, etc.
I'd love to see CWM Recovery with dynamic storage support, so you could backup to or restore from whatever's plugged into your device.
Had same problem. Formatted the card in my android phone and it worked after that

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.
I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.
Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

Hello All,
I wanted to post this to the Android Development section but since I have fewer than 10 posts I am forbidden from doing so.
Intermittently I will notice some apps do not load images or act as they normally should, and upon opening Solid Explorer to do some investigation I receive an error message (Cannnot browse to "/mnt/sdcard". An unknown error occured.). I find I am unable to access the internal sdcard through Solid Explorer, and when navigating using Root Explorer it only displays an empty folder.
This seems to happen at least once a day, and restarting my phone usually fixes it at least for a few hours. Sometimes ending all applications through task manager & clearing RAM memory through RAM manager will allow me to normally browse my internal sdcard using Solid Explorer for about a minute or so, and then become unaccessable again. Phone reboots seem to be the only fix, albeit a temporary one that only lasts a few hours.
I am unable to save screenshots when this occurs, unable to save pictures, some apps do not function properly -- all which makes sense if the phone is really unable to access the internal sdcard. I have performed numerous wipes (full wipe, cache, dalvik) & reinstalled newer nightly SynergyROMs but I have been unable to fix the issue. Searching these forums has not brought me any relevant information which pertains to the same issue I am having.
I appreciate any help or insight you guys can provide, thanks for taking a look.

Why would you think to post this in Android Development? This is a question, and thus belongs in Q/A (where it is posted). Android Development is for people who actually developed something, like a ROM, Kernel, etc.
I don't know what kind of advice to give you though, besides try formatting in advanced options of CWM, a reprovision (*2767*3855# ) on stock (back up everything first, to somewhere other than internal SD as it will be wiped) or maybe a 32GB PIT, with a PIT being the least likely solution.
I second this question!!

I logged in today because I am having the exact same problem. Same ROM as well, Synergy r73. I've tried formatting the SDCard, tried a complete reformat of the phone. But nothing seems to help.
Also, to clarify, it isn't restricted to the external SD card (which mounts to /mnt/etxSDcard folder). It's the entire /mnt directory that hangs. I'm able to go into options and mount and unmount the external card fine. But as soon as I try and access /mnt using any app (andExplorer, Wifi File Explorer, even a simple 'ls' in terminal) the phone hangs, stops responding to button presses, and eventually reboots itself.
Also, I've found my timing matches Kenshingtx's as well. If I reboot the phone, I can access external storage, and the entire /mnt folder for that matter, just fine, and it stays this way for about an hour or so.
Any further ideas are greatly appreciated.
btw, I think he mentioned posting the Android dev because there is a thread specifically dedicated to this ROM with numerous questions and answers in it. (Albeit hard to follow since it's over 800 pages) I already searched in there and found no mention of this issue.
The SD card problem sounds like something that used to happen with the old modems.
Go to about phone and check your baseband. If it doesn't end in G7 or HD then you have an older radio that had this issue.
Here's a link to where you can get what you need that explains everything better then I could.

My phone has the G7 modem in it.
Thanks for everyone's input so far. My baseband ends in F2 so I'll try updating my modem and see what that does (even though nerfage seems to be having the same problem with the G7 modem). And you're right, I wanted to post in the synergyROM development thread thinking the problem might've been specific to that ROM.
I'll also look into reprovisioning on stock rom per Zalithian's suggestion to wipe the internal sd card, and see if that helps.
@nerfage - I dunno what the problem is then, could be ROM specific. If you figure out what's wrong post how you fixed it here. You may also want to try flashing the HD rom. Might fix it, might not.
@Kenshingtx - Not sure if the wipe would help so make sure that's an absolutely final thing, googling around is always useful. Hopefully the flash thing does the trick though.

Flashed the latest modem ending in HD, and tested my phone over the weekend. Still having the same issue where the internalsd becomes unavailable. Wondering if the hardware in our devices are faulty..?

My phone appears to be fixed. I backed up all the files on my mnt/sdcard, performed full/cache/dalvik wipes, formatted internal memory through recovery, flashed the rom again (decided to try Beans ROM this past week) and I haven't had the same issue come back. It looks like the cause of the problem was something on my internalsd, try formatting it (after backing up any files you need) to see if it'll fix the problem for you too. Good luck.
Note: the fix does not appear to be related to the ROM, i was having the same issue on the Beans ROM as well until I formatted the internal memory
I am asking this again here, as my previous thread seemed to be hijacked by someone elses question!
I recently decided to root my inspire as i am no longer using it as a phone, so i thought that it would be interesting to do and fun to play around with all of the options available (i recently did the same thing on my Nook Tablet, and that was the single best decision i have made a while!). I started out researching the manual techniques to do it, but i didn't really like the high risk factor there (i really dont want to brick my phone) so i tried Ace Hack Kit. Of course, it has to download the phone from 2.3.5 to be able to work. During this process, it has me hold volume up and power twice, and every time i do that, it flashes up really quick something about holding volume up and volume down and power, but then it skips past that. Anyway, here is where my problem comes in: It says that it should reboot in to hboot, which it does, but that hboot should run a test, then prompt me to continue by pressing volume up, and then should reboot, flashing twice, and that should be the end of it. THe problem is, it does boot in to hboot, but it is just a standard hboot screen asking to recover, load bootloader, etc. When i reboot from there it just boots in to the phone as normal. I have tried 3 different SD cards, all of which work and are recognized by my PC, my other phone and my Nook tablet. I have also inserted a working sim card, just to be sure that wasnt the issue, and i still cant make it work. Does anyone have any experience with his issue, or any idea what i might be doing wrong?
Opening multiple threads on the same issue is frowned upon. Even if someone supposedly hijacked your thread. I read it and only 7 posts ,I'd call that far from hijacked.
Now at the issue on hand. As mentioned in the other thread. Its the SD card. Also their is a hack kit irc go there. Plus pasting the output would help aswell

OK, as i have stated, i have tried a new SD card (2, actually, with the same results.) as far as an output screen, there is none. Ace Hack Kit goes through the whole downgrade process, my phone gets in to hboot, but it is just a standard hboot screen, and it doesn't downgrade. When my phone restarts, it restarts like i just did a factory reset.
There is an output,copy what ever it says. There probably is something you missed
As too the SD card ,try adifferent one again. Your SD cards are corrupt and you need to find one that works with the kit
Also since your on a sense 3.0 did you do the changing of the boot img before running the kit?

by changing the of the boot img do you mean downgrading it? That is what i am trying to do. The kit is supposed to do it automatically. If that is not what you mean, please explain!
As to the output, copy thing, no, there is none of that. I have followed the instructions about 20 times. After starting the downgrade process, the phone restarts and comes up with a red triangle. At that point i am supposed to hold volume up and power, and it goes and reboots and i do the same thing again. At this point, i am told that the phone will boot into hboot and check the boot image. When it is done, i am supposed to hit volume up to confirm, and then the phone will reboot, this time in to the down graded image. That is where my problem comes in. Instead of checking the boot image, it just goes to a standard hboot screen. There are no error messages or warnings, and i have followed the instructions to the letter.
As far as the cards are concerned, the maker of the kit suggested a 2 or 4gb Sandisk series 4 or 6 SDHC card, so i bought 2 of the series 6 4gb, along with the 2 others that i already have. I also have 2 series 4 4gb and 2 series 4 2gb Sandisk cards, as well as an 8gb and 2 4gb PNY cards. All of the cards recognize in my phone and PC, and the older cards also recognize in my Nook (and were used to root and load custom roms on several other devices), i have not loaded the new cards in to any other devices besides my laptop and the phone for fear of corrupting it. So i find it difficult to believe that the cards could be the problem.
I know what the kit says. What I'm saying is In the command prompt it spits out a lot of info. For example it will say stuff about zergrush and or taco root. THATS the important stuff, this is what is used to allow the downgrade to be possible. If their a failure in the process it would state it there. That's why I keep asking for it. Don't understand your reluctance to do a simple copy and paste
The changing of the boot img is something that is different and you should read about it on attn1 site. Version 3.20 has a slightly different method

I appreciate the attempt to help (the reason why i didn't post a direct copy paste was simply as i was in no position at the time to take one, not any reluctance to ultimately do so...) In my recent attempt to provide you with a full copy paste of the process, i was able to figure out what i was doing wrong. For anyone who may have the same or similar issue: format the SD card while it is in the phone from your PC right before starting the process. Thats all it took. Even for a card that was brand new and untouched, or formatted before putting it in the phone, i couldn't get it to work, but it worked doing it that way, and i am now happily rooted and ready to install CM9!
Glad you got it figured out. Formatting the SD card in the phone is a must, since the phone puts important files on the card after formatting.

Wrong. There's no need to format the sdcard to run the Hack Kit, unless your sdcard is not in fat32 system file format. The only requirement is that your sdcard must not be corrupted to work as a goldcard. Corruption of the boot partition of the sdcard can not be solved by formatting and is produced by improper dismount of it.

I'm just speaking from experience. Every SD card I've put in my phone I had to format in the phone because it was giving me problems. After, no problems. Maybe it's just my phone. or the cards weren't FAT32.
You're last sentence is probably where most people screw it up. You can't just yank an SD card out of whatever device it's in, which I think a lot of people do. But I have fixed cards that were removed without unmounting by formatting. Maybe other parts were corrupt but not the boot partition?

As far as I am concerned the boot partition can not be restored by formatting. SDCARD should always be dismounted properly.
I bought a new Kingston 32gb class10 microsdcard, because i decided to test Data2sd on my tf700.
I installed data2sd zip from recovery and when I booted up it said "Encryption unsuccessful", and I can only reset tablet.
I cant make a factory reset as it just reboots and displays "Encryption unsuccessful" again. I can go into recovery TWRP but all my files on my internal storage is gone, so I cant flash CROMI again.
So I copied the CROMI rom on my 32GB fat32 formatted card, but in TWRP console it says E: Unable to mount '/external_sdcard'
I should have never done this
Can anyone help please?
Apparently you didn't partition or format your card correctly - did you use gparted?
This indeed sounds like yo uare one of the many many, many that still used MiniTool, our warnings notwithstanding. Try Gparted.
Furthermore, if you can access any other storage partition in TWRP and would like to copy your backup(s) so you can reinstall you can do so with the AROMAFile Manager found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Boot into recovery, flash the AFM zip file and it will start the file manager. It's a convenient option to have, but it does take a little getting used to.
I used minitool. Any gparted alternative on windows machines? I have ubuntu on my virtual machine but it cant see the internal card reader :/
TWRP couldnt recognize my Kingston 32gb, thats why it was unable to mount it. I used a old 512mb sd card and I have managed to install CROMI again. Awesome!
One thing I find confusing reading the Data2SD thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507)
I am confused as to whether I need 2 partitions or 1. I always transfer files between my tablet and computer via USB cable. So should I make one 32gb ext4 partition? Or make a small 8mb fat32 partition and the second as my ext4 partition?
Allright got my questions answered else where.
I am using the Gparted CD to boot up from and format my SD card.
To anyone else do not use MiniTool as it doesnt work!
Thanks guys.

Yeah, the latter effect is what I'm trying to stop: I was in the same situation, with the added bonus of nobody having figured out how to recover. It took me an entire evening and a lot of stress to get back my microSD card after it stopped working altogether. Once a thread gets more than, say, 300 posts you can't really blame a new reader for not going through all of them -- the OP should be updated, however, when an issue is as clearly established as this one is.
