Hi guys,
wanted to root my TF300, i reached to the stop where i have CWM- based recovery v6.0.2.3. but aterwards when i wasnt to flash with root-signed.zip to root. i get error, cant mount sdcard. there are bunch of errors like cant mount /casche
any help?
For those that have updated to 4.2.1 (bootloader) and are now unable to mount: cache, data, external sd card etc.. in recovery.
TWRP (2.4.4.0 or below) & CWM (all) will not be able to mount these partitions. You need the modified TWRP for 4.2.1
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp421.blob
download link can be found here
Cards that may not work on modified TWRP for 4.2.1
sandisk 64gb micro SDXC class 10 (not sure if this is size, type or class issue)
Working cards
sandisk 8gb micro SDHC class 4
sandisk 16gb micro SDHC class 4
What if you cannot flash another recovery because the system when restarting loops and eventually enters CWM?
My CWM 6.0.2.3 cannot mount sdcard as well. But I cannot flash another recovery neither.

Try this,
When in recovery (CWM) connect to pc with usb cable and open command prompt (run as admin) & cd to your android-sdk\platform-tools folder and run command
Code:
adb devices
if it does not return your device s/n then adb is not setup. Here is a good how to, just follow on from the device manager part if android-sdk & java already installed
Once adb is working run command
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
and see if that does the job.

The only SD card I can mount now using the modified TWRP 4.2.1 is my old Sandisk 2g (FAT) Works just fine (installs, backups etc.) This card works actually in many other JB TWRP versions fine as well.
I had a Sandisk Ultra 8GB MicroSD (micro SDHC) class 10 in my Tf300t prior to update to 4.2.1 which worked fine then in twrp recovery. No version of TWRP will mount this card now, uncluding the above mentioned version.I have tried for days now, tried several partitioning tricks, formating etc. Just does not work.Card works fine when JB loads and I can use it okay in the o/s, just bombs in Recovery. I also have a 16gb Sandisk ultra 10class, no go there as wel in recovery. Stuck witht the 2GB card so far.At leastI was able to root my tf300t now on US 10.6.1.8 firm. via the 2gb card using TWRP 4.2.1 installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip .Also was able to do a backup on the 2GB card. So all is working great, just stuck with 2GB SD for now I guess.
Anyone else having this problem using the mentioned Sandisk Ultra SD's or other types ? Any info or updates to a fix on this ?
Thanks,
Julian
I also have this issue with 64gb class 10 & from what you say above it now makes me think the "external sd won't mount" issue is class related, not size & class 10 cards will not work in twrp on the new 4.2.1 (10.6.1.8) bootloader - but do work on 4.1.1 bootloaders.
Modified TWRP for 4.2/10.6.1.8 bootloader:
Sandisk 64gb microSDXC class 10 won't mount
Sandisk 8gb microSDHC class 10 won't mount
Sandisk 16gb microSDHC class 4 mounts fine
Sandisk 8gb microSDHC class 4 mounts fine

Thanks that worked. Actually I tried it before without success, but now with the universal drivers it works.
So now I'm able to get into bootloader. However cannot flash anything. When I fastboot the process goes fine but the device seems to freeze and at the end of the process 'fastboot reboot' command does not reboot the device. I have to manually reboot it holding the power button. It then reboots again into CWM and i have to adb it to the bootloader again, thus the flashing is not working.
Any suggestion? Thanks!

I'm trying to install ubuntu to my sbk2 tab using this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566&highlight=can+t+mount+microsd+card
But, to do that, I need access to both the external sd card, and ADB access. Is there a single recovery with those two features? I've tried all of roach's recovery, team rogue, normal CWM, I've tried everything I can find! If it has easy access to external sd, it doesn't have ADB.
Does such a recovery exist?
If not, how can I manually mount the external sd card (microSD)?
Regards
Smith
EDIT: Partially solved. Have yet to find a recovery with these features. However, you can mount the microSD card as follows:
# mkdir microsd
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 microsd
Learn something new every day I suppose!
Team Rouge recovery will read from internal and external sd.
You probably need to update the driver
Team Rouge latest touch reads from both and I use ADB just fine.
I will check that out again because art time of writing adb didn't work on the rogue recovery.
Thanks guys!

Guys: I am a noob in every capacity, but after a couple of searches on your forums I cant figure my issue out. I bought a TF101 that was already loaded with TWRP 2.1.5. A couple of weeks have gone by and now the tablet is stuck in the boot screen. I have already tired doing a factory reset, and restoring to previous backup. All of which hasn't worked.I have new rom loaded on my sd card but I cant find the SD card on TWRP
Has anyone had this issue before? If so how did you fix it?
Any help would be appreciated!!
I never used TWRP 2.1.X.X to know if it sees external storage. It will only see microSD, not full SD from the dock.
Also, be sure your microSD is formatted for FAT32. It will not work for an exFAT, NTFS or any other partition table.
If that does not work, I would boot to APX mode and use EasyFlasher to load TWRP 2.2.X.X. You need the Naked Drivers to get the best APX driver.
Flash that TWRP, then it should see the external (microSD) card when you choose external storage, flash ROM, enjoy!
So...kinda hoping I'm not totally hosed here. I'm an idiot and wiped my ROM and stuff to the point I can't copy a ROM over to my tablet.
I can get to TWRP, but TWRP will not mount an SD card (using my keyboard dock of course). Fastboot does recognize my device, but without a ROM copied to the internal storage I don't think I can flash it at all.
From the boot menu if I select the USB fastboot mode my computer will see the TF and install drivers, fastboot sees it, adb does not. It's not listed in my 'computer' under windows.
Hopefully that makes sense.
You can do one of the following:
... use adb while in TWRP and copy the ROM via adb push.
... put the ROM on a microSD card and use that in TWRP.
... use fastboot and flash the ROM's blob via your computer.
Except ADB won't work, just fastboot oddly.
Edit - I'm going to see if it'll recognize a micro SD, it's possible the SD slot in the keyboard dock isn't supported by TWRP.

TWRP only detects micro SDcard on the tablet, NOT the SDcard in the dock. So the easiest solution is copy the file to your MICROsdcard, then turn off your device, insert the microsdcard, then boot up into twrp, you should able to see the file on the micro sdcard.

This ^^ -- as far as i know, no recovery supports the SD card in the dock.
My Phone:
Rooted Inspire 4g running Stock ROM -> Rooted using Easy Ace Root Tool
Running TWRP recovery and a stock ROM(unable to flash new ROM due to SD)
My Problem:
My phone(either fully booted, or in TWRP recovery) is not reading my MicroSD card.
TWRP gives the error E: failed to mount /sdcard
and when in the settings of the phone, it says to insert a SD card.
Logs:
This includes
-adb shell blkid
-adb shell ls /dev/block
-adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
Located at pastebin.org at /BTPcfc0w
What I've Done to try and fix it:
Okay so after quite a bit of searching I've found these solutions given most by people
Cleared and Factory reset everything under the sun on this phone.
Format the SD using a PC into the FAT32 filetype
Code:
On this, I used my MicroSD Adapter and plugged it in to a computer.
Since the phone isn't recognizing the SD card it is NOT giving me the option to mount USB
To reboot into fast boot, and run the following commads
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
I haven't been able to find anything further, and nothing yet seems to of worked so;
Question:
Does anyone have any advice on what I might be able to do?
Have you tried the SD card in the computer without the phone. You may need a external Sd card reader or a laptop of some sort with a card reader. If neither of those work then you need a new SD Card
hi all,
as stated, i cannot perform any backups.
TWRP only shows internal storage, which is down to ~6000mb.
Micro SD shows 0mb and will not mount.
USB shows 0mb and will not mount.
I am using the latest TWRP 3.0.0.1 i believe.
my external card is a class 10 sandisk 32gb that shows up in windows when i connect my phone via usb.
any helpful advice here?

Nobody?
Just went ahead and reformatted to removable media.
TWRP 3.0.0.1 didn't even load on my cricket version and i had mounting issues with TWRP 2.8.7.... try and find TWRP 3.0.0.0 for this phone if you don't have everything in recovery working (but always save backups where they are safe) and install it or try 2.8.7 for this phone if that doesn't work. 3.0.0.0 works perfect for me.... Good luck!

Thanks man. I tried all three of them. They all worked, but wouldn't recognize external SD card if it was formatted for internal.
Try a different brand or different card and let TWRP format the sd if possible.... I take everything on my sd card and drag it to my computer and try different formats (ext 4 and or fat 32 or exFat) and see what works with your comp and recovery; as well as os
Im having the same issue.
No matter what twrp I use ext sd is 0 cant mount sammy class 10 128 gb
I had this issue on my s5 and had to upgrade twrp to 3.1.1-1 i think but cant find one for cricket idol 3 that works
