Official CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7

As Undeads thread has been closed, I needed to start again.
Basically when flashing the new 5.0.2.7 recovery with any method, via Rom Manager or ADB Fastboot the recovery just doesn't work proper.
My sdcard can't mount, hence I can't navigate nor install any roms?
Performing backups & restores don't work for me either.
I've had to roll back to 4.0.0.9, annoying because I want to try out Blues Bulletproof.
Please someone what is the definitve solution to getting the officion CWM recovery to work as I'd expect.
I've even tried a :
fastboot erase system -w
before fastboot flash recovery 'recoveryimage'.img
Rolling back to 4.0.0.9 allows me to do everything as per usual in recovery, but not with 5.0.2.7
I'm really quite baffled with this

1 - Download the recovery via real computer.
2 - Plug in your doubleshot, transfer to sdcard main directory.
3 - Disconnect from computer, use a root file manager (root explorer preferred) to copy the image from /sdcard to /data/local
4 - Open up terminal emulator.
5 - Type:
Code:
su
6 - Then type:
Code:
dd if=/data/local/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-doubleshot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
*Make sure all letters are lowercase. You will have to juggle the hardware/software keyboard to get the first "i" after "dd" to be lowercase. Try typing a few characters past it, then using the trackpad to move the cursor back to it. Keep trying the hardware and software keyboards until it sticks as a lowercase "i"
7 - Let it transfer, then exit terminal emulator.
8 - Reboot into recovery, should be good.
**Note - pay close attention to the file name for the image. What Undeadk9 typed into his guide is wrong, what I typed here is correct.
Post if you have any further issues.
Edit:
"if" stands for "input file".
"of" stands for "output file".
dd
One thing I love about the official clockwork recovery is the ability to mount the sdcard while plugged into the computer, and drag and drop files to and from the sdcard while the doubleshot is in recovery mode.
Good luck, hope to see it working for you soon.

Thanks, but still same issues
Hi Blue,
I'm still getting the same errors dude.
I just tried your method, hence I've now tried to install the new recovery with all 3 methods (adb fastboot, rom mamanger and this dd terminal command.)
They all flash/install correct, and when rebooting into recovery each time it looks fine.
But when I try to navigate to 'sdcard' (install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card... i get "E: Cant't mount /sdcard/"
When I go to mounts & storage/mount sdcard, again I get "Error mounting /sdcard!"
When I attempt a backup, I get this "Can't mount backup path."
I hope you can decipher my mayhem here...... very weird!
Maybe it's my sdcard - however, it works as perfect on modaco 4.0.0.9, I'm unsure on whats going on here

I had similar problem, was something stupid. Think usb was still mounted or something. Not plugged into pc, right?

if you are using an older version of a rom you have to mount system and data.
Try mounting those and then trying to install from an sd.
If I were you I would do a full wipe /formatsystem/data/dalivk/sdcard. Backup the important things on the sd card to the computer and start fresh with an updated rom and a clean sd card.
You could always try swaping your sd card out but i dont think its the problem. The older roms make running the NEW CWM much more difficult than it should be.
I am not sure it appears you are trying to get an older ROM to run with the new CWM.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??
Whats happened to my recovery guys???

so am I the only one who literally can't get this recovery to work at all? perhaps I should contact koush and get him a log... basically, it won't mount my SD card. sd card is not defective as I can mount it fine through modaco recovery without any issues.
I guess I could try formatting the card and then trying the official CWM recovery again, but until then I'm just sticking with the modaco version.

Conlculsion...?
I'm sure I saw it around here somewhere, hell if I know where off the top of my head. I am pretty sure it involved formatting the sd-card if memory serves right.
I have to go, will be on the road for a bit then tied up with the family of my Lady for a bit, so not sure when I can check back in.
Hopefully pmcqueen happens to see this and posts the missing info that was not updated...
I realize I quoted you from the other thread, so this issue has been hanging for you for a while? We need to figure out how to solve it - wish I could be more focused on your problem at the moment.
Try formatting your sdcard through Clockworkmod.
If you can't try powering off the phone and formatting the card directly in your computer.
It sounds like you have Clockworkmod successfully updated to the 5.0.2.7 version, but now reading the sdcard is the problem.
Can you try a different MicroSD card, do you have another one?

What ROM are you using? Becaause anything that dates before the official ROM.manager release date was unmounted. Basically there was a feature that the new ROM doesn't have. Undeadk9 confimed this in that thread. Everything you need to know is there. They go into full detail as to why it wasn't working. Even decided to open a full wiki about why. Did you even read it?
Basically you have to manually mount. Also in the rom try scrollong down and keep going until it unlocks.

Not sure if you already tried this, but if you haven't, try doing:
Get the SD Formatter here and format your sd card (use a card reader if necessary).
Use quick format, but make sure "Format Size Adjustment" was off (all available under options...)
Two reminders:
1. The recommended filesystem for an android SD Card is FAT32
2. Remember to back up whatever you have in the SD card so you can put them back in once you're done formatting

Thanks for all the input guys.
Will try an sd format etc and report back soon.

I can almost guarantee you formatting the sd will fix your problems with sd mounting in 5.0.2.7
You won't be able to do it via cwm recovery (it's not able to even recognize the sd, that's why you're having mounting issues) but if you put the card into an sd reader and format it for a normal fat32 partition I bet that fixes it.

So I just thought I'd chime in here...
I recently updated from Modaco to CWM and had this sd card issue however, I have like 10 different sd cards and the first thing I did was put the ROM I was trying to install on a sd card with nothing on it and BAM it worked. I'm going to try and put my 16gig back in after everything settles in the rom and I'll update with the results. tomorrow.

Hi guys,
similar issue here
I can't make a backup or restore, I can't install somethink because I always get "Can't mount sdcard"
any idea?
thanks

Oh damn I completly forgot to post my results.
Sd card needed a reformat, then the new recovery was able to mount sd etc.
Thanks to everyones 2cents in this thread, helped me out.
Enjoy

I've tried to format but without result

Did you try SD Formatter using a PC? I was able to resurrect a dead 16gb microSD using that method.

[Q] HTC ONE X - Recovery Help

Ok, I have a problem very similar to threads Ive found by with some minor differences. Hoping for some answers to this nightmare....
I have an AT&T One X - unlocked, rooted and flashed. I was running Viper XL and using TWRP recovery 2.3.10. Yesterday, I decided to flash a Liquidsmooth ROM using flash image gui......everything went fine with install until it hung on liquidsmooth boot screen, for an hour. Figuring there was an install error, I rebooted into twrp to do a recovery. Recovered back to Viper XL and was thrown into bootloop - HTC screen/Viper Boot...over and over again. Finally decided to stop before I destroyed anything.....so here's where I am now. The phone has been reset, sd card was wiped but I can still boot into TWRP without a problem. However, now there is no backup or ROM zip on this SD card.
So my guess is that first and foremost I need to get a ROM on that SD card, however (I'm on a Mac) when I plug the phone in, I get a "No Android Device Connected" in the dialog and when trying to mount SD card via TWRP, the "Mount SD Card" box wont tick.
If I view the log file in TWRP I see a lot of 'could not mount SD card' errors.....
I don't want to keep screwing with it and make things worse. Considering this has happened with both CM10 and LiquidSmooth, my guess is I should just stick with Viper for now, so any help getting this back on here would be hugely appreciated! I have no access to a PC, only a mac.....
Boot screen info:
TAMPERED - UNLOCKED

HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0,19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot

If you're on Hboot 1.14 and are S-On you need to manually "flashboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot from the bootloader menu whenever you flash a new ROM. Go to the bootloader and click "fastboot" then plug in your USB connected to the computer and it should now say "fastboot usb" assuming your drivers are installed (it might install them after you plug your phone in). Now you can flash the boot.img from the rom zip manually via the fastboot command window.
EDIT: Sorry didn't realize you were on Mac. I would first figure out how to mount the SD card as removable storage and not an Android device. You may have to format it as a file system first. At least that's what I had to do when this happened to me when I first flashed but i'm on Windows. I should of read your post more thoroughly.

So this would be done from the terminal? I was able to boot onto fastboot, connected USB cable and now show fastbootusb. I downloaded the ViperXL rom again, so I should extract the boot.img and flash this via terminal?
Are the commands the same on a mac? And how do I then get the rom onto the SD card?
Am I correct in my assumption that this is the answer? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693372

I don't want to give you too much advice since I don't have a mac but I would assume they're the same except you need to have fastboot/adb on your computer but since the ones I have are .EXE files they're not going to work on OSX. However, If fastboot usb came up the computer is reading the phone so you may be able to open the SD card as removable storage on you computer thats how it is on Windows. So once you do that you can just move the ROM zip onto the card. But, like I said you're going to need to figure out a way to flash the boot.img separately or else you won't be able to boot into the ROM when it's installed (you'll just bootloop). You're going to have to do that with every new ROM you flash if you're still S-On.
Wish I can be more help but i'm not that versed in OSX.

you can use [APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode! to flash boot.img fine before flashing the rom. it will search the rom zip for the boot.img and flash it. you can also flash recovery using the app also. some roms place boot.img in other locations other then the root of the zip in which case you might have trouble selecting the whole zip, but you can just extract the boot.img and flash it fine.

No problem - thanks for the help you can offer. It seems my bigger problem is getting a ROM onto the SD card - Ive read several similar threads and from what I can tell, doing a factory reset through TWRP means I need to reformat the SD card, which is why it wont mount. Does this sound reasonable?
And if so, is it as simply as "Wipe external storage - SD CARD" in TWRP?

And yes you will have to reformat the SD card I don't know how to go about doing it OSX though. I'm sure a google search will help. The method should be the same for any type SD card plugged into OSX. But remember flashing the boot.img will be the other issue.

doing a factory reset in hboot corrupts your sdcard.
once you get adb/fastboot working try running "fastboot erase cache" that clears out the part of cache where the settings for twrp reside, that is why when you format cache in twrp you always see 16MB when you fastboot erase cache it goes to 0MB but for recovery to store it's settings you need to rewipe cache and dalvik in twrp.

I think my inner idiot is kicking in. I believe I already have fastboot installed - perhaps Im missing something. I went through this process before and have all of these same files still on my desktop. I'm able to boot my phone into the bootscreen (white screen) and TWRP without problems....the only issue I have right now is my SD card and getting a ROM pushed to it. I've gotten two conflicting bits of advice that im reluctant to try....one of them states I should just boot into TWRP and do a "Wipe external storage" and the other one says I should format it using disk utility in OSX. When I boot into TWRP and hit "mount", Im given four options, mount system, mount data unmount cache and mount sd card...the ONLY one I cant select is mount sd card.

Not sure what you should do really this happened to me but I forgot what I did. I ended up just formatting the card with the disk utility in Windows but I don't remember if I had to re-flash the recovery or not afterwards.

So I should just use this method again, regardless of whether I may have done it before, correct? This will format in stock recovery?
In the APK folder, there are two fastboot files, one 'fastboot' and one 'fastboot-mac' - i want the -mac one obviously, right?

TWRP Recovery 2.4.4.0.

I cleaned my tablet tf300, to install a newer and different rom, now i can't get twrp to see my microsd card to install the rom, how can i get the rom file to my internal sd card to proceed, as i can't get adb to work either, i've no idea how to copy the files to internal to get going again.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure the SD card is mounted in the "Mounts" section of TWRP.

I did that but it won't stay in that mode, keeps on reverting to internal.

Did you try unmounting the internal, then mounting external?

I have zero luck in getting it to stay on external SD, I've tried to unmount the internal and then mount the ext sd, so I am stuck. I don,t even see USB mode when I hold volume down and power, the only option is recovery Android and wipe data, so I don't seem to be able to get the zipped rom i want to install copied where I can use it.

Thats how the new bootloader works, fastboot protocol is enabled the second you boot to that menu. So make sure you are on the patched 2.4.4.0 recovery.

I've downloaded a patched version of the twrp 2.4.4.0, but i can't access usb function to use fastboot or any other method to get the patched file to my internal storage on the tablet. Any ideas as how to transfer the needed file? Hope it's not bricked beyond repair. Plus my pc fails to install device driver, i am stuck at the starting screen that says "the device is unlocked" and asus logo.

Stuck with ICS in CWM and no USB.

Upon trying to update my TF101 device to Jelly Bean using this guide (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_tf101), at the 6th step of Installing CyanogenMod from recovery (i.e., Select install zip from sdcard) the tab says it's unable to mount the SD card.
The exact error is: E: unable to mount /sdcard/
I have CWM v6.0.1.3 installed.
Now, I'm stuck with a TF101 that isn't detectable via USB (or APX for that matter) running ClockWorkMod without root. What do I do? I'd like to upgrade to JellyBean but if that's an issue, I do not mind sticking with ICS.
Bear in mind that I'm completely new at this and I might need a step-by-step guide.
P.S. - I can't post links. Sorry.

If you boot to ICS and enable USB Debugging in Settings - Developer Options, is your device visible from the PC?
If yes, then I would try using PERI to root and install CWM.
If not, then I would try installing the Hybrid Touch 6.0.1.2 of this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 Download the file in ICS, place it in the /sdcard/, flash from Recovery and see if it will let you. If you can see your microSD from recovery put it there. Then reboot and you should have a working recovery.
I have seen quite a few people try to use that wiki 6.0.1.3 and have no luck with mounting the /sdcard/

If yes, then I would try using PERI to root and install CWM.
If not, then I would try installing the Hybrid Touch 6.0.1.2 of this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 Download the file in ICS, place it in the /sdcard/, flash from Recovery and see if it will let you. If you can see your microSD from recovery put it there. Then reboot and you should have a working recovery.
I have seen quite a few people try to use that wiki 6.0.1.3 and have no luck with mounting the /sdcard/

No such luck. Still not able to mount the /sdcard/ and it doesn't seem to recognise the microSD as far as I can see.

Might be a bad USB cable. I have seen a few users (myself included) where my cable would charge, and be recognized by the PC but it would not do APX or ADB. New cable fixed it for me, and most others.

It was working till right after I fell into this rut.

I used mine for ADB, 3 days later I tried it again and no dice. Thought it was the ROM I was on, tried another one, still no dice. Flashed back to stock rooted, still nothing.
New cable, viola!

I'm unable to mount/unmount USB, as in, it doesn't do anything at all. My laptop still doesn't recognise the tab.

You should mount the sd card using recovery and then use your PC to copy the zips you need back to your sd card and then flash them. Some recoveries will automatically mount the sd card as soon as you connect the phone and the PC with the usb cable. In others you may have to go into the mounts (or Mounts and Storage) menu and select mount USB storage or sd card.

Plug her into computer
Make sure drivers are working for adb by mounting storage than running the command "adb devices" assuming you have set up your sdk. if your device shows up. Run this
"adb push ROM.zip*/data/media" in the prompt.
If your device is not recognized.
Update drivers manually using the device manager on your computer. You will need to install the drivers. That's easy. Just look up how to. That should fix it with minimal confusion
