Ok, so I unlocked the phone, flashed the new touch recovery. I put SU on the internal storage. I mount system and flash and it fails. Any help would be much appreciated.
No ideas?

You mount system? You don't need to mount anything manually from within recovery. Simply boot to recovery, flash SU, be done.
Any error message? That could help us help you!

You put the su zip in the internal memory? It belongs in the external memory, also known as USB storage or sdcard storage. From there, you can select install zip from SD card then, choose zip. No mounting required.

OK well I didn't know about it needing to be on the sdcard. But after trying 3 different recovery and 4 different superuser zips I got root now. All were on internal. But its a old version. And I cant get it to update through market. Gonna retry on the SD. Thanks for the help
Also, am I not supposed to flash anything from the internal storage? Or is that just for su?

I'm sorry, when I said internal storage, I didn't mean internal phone memory I ment the internal SD memory, or internal USB memory. Sorry for the confusion

Use the su zip from this thread

Everything you want to flash goes on your sd card/usb memory

ohh.. thanks for clearing out, you got everyone confused. Things lost in translation haan
BTW no external memory card in Nexus S anyways... Its 16GB Memory partitioned into internal memory and sd card, 1GB : Remaining 13.5GB
Everything through recovery is done from SD-Card, and put in root of the card.

My nexus is gonna arrive in 2 weeks time im praparing to root and install roms, but i keep seeing steps that require access to sdcard? Nexus s has no sdcard slot, so how do we copy or install from sdcard?

Check out my reference thread in the development section. It'll get you going in the right direction

Alright I found a step
"drag/drop the su-version#-signed.zip file into the root of the internal SD of the SNS"
I assume nexus S does have a SDROOT folder, an internal "sdcard"

it does have a /sdcard/ folder.
OKAY Look. The NS not having a SD card slot is deceiving.
NS does have a "internal" sd card. It does not have a external.
It has built in 16GB that cannot be removed. It does have "sdcard" but you can't EXPAND it with a microSD card.
E.G. Vibrant has internal 16GB and external SD card slot.
Internal: /sdcard/
External: /sdcard/sd/
A lot of the previous phones like G1 (and others) didn't have a hard drive internally. So all the space were primarily stored within the SD card.
thanks for sharing..

Is there a way to install the apps to the internal storage instead of the sd card? I remember awhile ago there was an option on CM that allowed internal/external settings. I can't finder it anymore. My sd card is only 1gb taken from my old G1.

Which rom are you using right now?
If you're on stock (based) ROM, then you can use ADB/terminal to issue the command pm setInstallLocation 1 to force apps to use the internal storage, if on CM7 the option is under CM Settings => Application => Install Location
In CM if we set it to internal will apps install on the internal sd card or on the internal rom (is that the right word im looking for?)?
They'll be in /data/app, so what you would call 'internal ROM'
Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if there's a way to move apps to the internal sd card (not internal ROM)?
I have a 16gb class 10 microsd card but i want to use all that space for music. That 5gb internal sd card is just sitting there, i'd really want to use it for app installation space.
Any clues?
I think you have to change the setting to internal and reinstall the apps

Did you get this resolved? I have the same issue. I'm trying to get apps to install in the 5GB internal SD memory.

If so you can use the zip from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144553
Flash the one that says it makes external secondary. It will mount your internal sdcard as /sdcard and will mount your external as a folder /sdcard/_ExternalSD

Thanks. I think that did the job!

when you nvflash there is a choice for internal or external.
reflash recovery and choose the internal and oull be set.
thanks alot guys..
Use this tool to install the version of CWM that uses the internal memory. I think that should work.

I noticed not too long ago that when I connected my nexus s to my computer it would show that there is only a total of 14.3 gb of total space available on the SD card when in fact there should be close to 16. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I've tried formatting the SD card and fresh installing everything but nothing has cleared it up. I've done some searching as well and I couldn't find any useful information
Dude, the SD card is partitioned between internal memory and user storage. It also doesn't help that windows and memory makers measure space differently. You're good dude.

Sweet thanks! and now that I was an idiot I formated the SD Card using Disk Utility Mac OS 10.7 and CWM says "Error mounting /sdcard" when I try to install a zip
I'm still able to mount the USB storage to my computer and copy files over but CWM can't access any of the files on my phone. So basically for right now i have a bricked phone
UPDATE:
I may have solved the problem. I just relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again and when I select choose zip from sdcard in CWM 5.5.0.4 it says "no files found" instead of can't mount sdcard. I'm going to copy files back over to the phone and see if I can flash the rom I was on and get back up and running.
Let us know what happens! Hope you get it fixed.

Yeah it turns out locking the bootloader and then unlocking it again got it all sorted out. Back up and running and everything is working great
Sweet! Glad you got it worked out.

Hello Developers and life savers,
After I updated to EOS 117 update for JB in my WINGRAY, I have lost my SD CARD Storage in recovery both internal and external. Now I can't update or flash anything because I keep getting "Can't mount SD" in recovery.
I would really appreciate anyone's help please bear in mind that I'm a noob.
Thankfully
