He's asking what version. You should have v3.2.0.0 which was specially developed for Xoom to access Micro sdcard. If you use Rom Manager to boot into recovery, it may have tricked you into updating to a newer version of CWM recovery which only uses internal storage and isn't completely compatible.

thats whats happened :/ what a douch i am, i have v4.0.0.4, anyway i can downgrade? thanks

Just reflash the image file through fastboot or the zip file from your internal "sdcard" if possible. Remember not to flash a zip file through fastboot.

[Q]

So I realize I did something stupid and I'm hoping I can fix it. I was in the process of rooting and installing a new ROM on my brothers phone. I made it S-off, and I didn't want clockwork recovery so I just skipped that. I updated the firmware so I can put an ICS ROM on it and now it's stuck in a bootloop I would imagine because there is no recovery on there. Can I fix this somehow? How do I install a Recovery when I don't have a recovery?
Thanks

you can install recovery from bootloader/fastboot and then rom from the recovery
here follow the post #2 from this guide to do that

download mode is not required for HTC phones.. we can flash stuff from bootloader
to go to bootloader
power off phone then remove battery ,reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down button ..will take you to bootloader ..there you can flash the recovery ..and a lot

So I downloaded the pg58img file and put it on the root of my SD card. went into bootloader and it saw the file but for some reason didn't give me the option to install anything. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

No. RUU is a last option.
This is way too simple for that.

Just need to flash a recovery; preferably 4ext. (only step 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345)
Then nandroid backup from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Backup | Restore > Backup)
Then put an ICS ROM on SD Card using the Toggle USB Storage" option (main menu of 4ext > Toggle USB Storage)
Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Format | Wipe > Format all partitions (except SD Card) )
Then flash the ICS ROM from the recovery (main menu of 4ext > Install zip > Choose zip from SD Card).
Simple as that.

(Q) CMW recovery can't mount sdcard in jelly bean

Hi..
Could somebody tell me that CMW can't mount sdcard in jelly bean? Is that is because sdcard change into sdcard0? And how to fix it.. now i can't flash anything
Thanks..
Sent from my new house

no one have an idea about this??
cmoon..

AFAIK it's still working here

it cant mount sdcard here.. so i cant flash anything..

What version of cwm are you using?
What steps did you make when trying to access the sdcard.

you have ur device encrypted?

Reflash it or try an older version. Mines fine.

i hate to tell you this, but if u cant unlock your bootloader using "fasboot oem unlock" command, then your sdcard is faulty

CWM cannot mount encrypted SD

hangs at HTC white screen and can't be detected

Hello Geeks
I have rooted my htc sensation last night and Flash CWM Recovery HBoot 1.27.0000.
I managed to root and installed superuser. After i installed a new font installer apk, the problem started.
I reboot my htc after installed it and it stuck at HTC (Quitly Briliiant) screen.
and I tried several times removed battery and put it back. it can't solve the problem.
I can access to Hboot, and i see Fastboot, Recovery, Factory reset, SImlock, IMaGe CRC,
i tried to recovery, it hangs, samething to Factory reset, (didn't try simlock) and Image crc work fine.
And another problem is after i unplug the phone from usb or wall charger, the red light is still on.
i have no idea what to do.
HOPE can someone here help me with something?
thanks in advance.
(will post more detail if someone needs it)

Perhaps you would like to try and re-flash the CWM Recovery again? If you can't access recovery, most likely your CWM Recovery is corrupted.

what if the phone can't be detected by pc? i can't connect to pc via usb last ngiht.

can you boot into bootloader?

yes. i can go into bootloader

from bootloader you can flash the recovery
jus connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
get the recovery.img and copy it to your adb/fastboot folder
then open command window there
and type this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that should give you the recovery ....then go to recovery and reflash the rom

let me try and get back to u, sorry for late reply, just back from work
btw, how do i get recovery.img file ? sorry for noob q
i m kind of newbie to rooting and those stuffs

if you are S-ON then follow this thread to install a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
don't forget to superwipe first before install a rom and also enable smartflash if you have 4ext recovery installed
if not then i suggest to install that recovery

i don't think it is a battery issue.maybe a corrupted file(or it is an old link)
follow the steps from the guide and report results

i managed to install 4EXT and i installed custom ROM (MIUI-PyroMod-Pyramid-V1.1.zip).

ok then start again:
1)superwipe
2)enable smartflash from recovery
3)flash the rom again

wait ..no superwipe for AOSP/CM9/CM10/AOKP based ROMS ..its not compatible
use inbuilt wipe feature in 4EXT
4EXT -> wipe | format -> format all partitions except sdcard

i have an error msg, installation aborted!

[Q] SD card wont mount, and is repeating on Bootloader.

I NEED HELP! :crying: It's been 2 days and I have been searching all over the internet to find an answer and i cannot. I flashed Cyanogen 10 and it started up but after that, the sd card wouldnt mount, ive tried everything i could, but nothing is working. I need some help please!
Im on Wind Mobile, Hboot is 1.14.0004.
I couldnt find an RUU that worked, and my cid is Globa001

OK so do you have a working ROM and just can't mount with that rom? Or are you in a boot loop and can't mount in recovery? What recovery are you using?

I had the cyanogen rom but it wont start up anymore, I just installed it through recovery TWRP 2.1.7 but it didnt work! I turn it on and i get stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant with the red writing at the bottom "this build is for development......"

hi!
it seems like I had the same problem some time ago after flashing CM10...
my solution: flash a recovery img with fastboot where u can access your internal sd via the usb cable. format it, done. I use the Team Win Recovery v2.3.3.0 - I hope u can do that with v2.1.7 too. After formatting the sd card, I flashed a new ROM (ViperOneS in my case) and everything worked fine again.

You need to flash stock recovery and then factory reset in bootloader.

Well i flashed it, but it didnt work. Then i tried to adb push it to /data, but the zips didnts install. I got an error. So the phone still freezes at the "HTC quietly brilliant screen."
So when i try to flash a stock it says "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

What did you try to push to /data?
If my memory isnt failing me, /data isnt accessable by ADB by default (needs ro.secure=0 in default.prop).
Whatever you pushed, push it to /sdcard instead.

ADB push worked, the zip when through, but i just couldnt install it. I'm trying it now again to see if it works this time. and then im going to try to push it to /sdcard, but since its not in im not sure if it will detect it But i will try it right after i push it to /data/sdcard
Edit: Didnt work! im trying to push to /sdcard now.
Edit2: Well i tried to flash to /sdcard but the file did not show up
Edit3: So i got the file onto my phone, but it will not install because /sdcard and /cache will not mount. :'(

Can you flash a different recovery? - That's what I would try first, then make shure that the SD is mountable. I remember not being able to install a ROM without a working SD...
