I am looking for some help with my sdcard on my P3113
I can no longer mount my sdcard in recovery. "Error mounting /sdcard!" any time I try. Here is what I have done so far to try and fix it:
Reflashed CWM 6. No difference
Flashed CWM 5. No difference.
Used Odin to return the device to stock.
Flashed CWM 5. Still same issue
Flash CWM 6. Still same issue.
Any reason I can't mount my SDCARD anymore in recovery or any suggestions on what I can do next to fix it?

Have you tried formatting the card?
Yes, I have tried multiple different cards also and they mount just fine once the ROM is booted.
Which SD Card (internal or external)? Also, does the SD Card mount properly when booted into Android? I had the external sd fail to mount in recovery, when to use it in Android, and it wasn't recognized there either. Had to do a reformat before my tablet could recognize it again.

The problem is with the External SD card not be accessable while in recovery. Once I am booted into the OS I am able to access it and use whatevers on it no problem. I have formated the first card and that didn't help, so I switch to a different card and that didn't work either. I have tried flashing Recovery again as well as returning to full stock and rerooting. Recovery just won't see the card. It's not that big of a deal, i just want to make sure I am not going to start having other problems too...
same device, same problem, using cyanogenmod 13.
I used the US OTA .zip, reflashed twrp 2.2.2 and found myself unable to root with it. What is the fix for mounting /system as /system instead of external sd as /system from within twrp's adb?
Did you check the twrp thread? Pretty sure it says not to use it on jb.

Of course I did! I also saw that Asus says not to unlock my bootloader... You don't get far by obeying every rule, just the important ones. This one is not important to follow when you are comfortable in fastboot and nvflash.
I am bringing information to the table and asking what I can do with it, if anything. External SD mounts, but it mounts as /system. I am just looking for a workaround to mount the actual /system.
I have unlock TF700t and i have installed TWRP 2.5 On internal disk i do not any operating system. I cannot mount sdcard 16GB FAT 32 (unable mount). Is possible upload ROM or any file over USB cable to device? I can run only TWRP recovery mod. I try fasboot but if i run fastboot on computer in command line was "waiting for device"

It seems you wiped/formatted your internal storage.
You should be able to mount by USB to your pc if you have your drivers for the device installed though I have never tried.
Few things you could try.
1.) reformat microSD card(fat32) and put rom on it and see if it is mountable again.
2.)If you are getting the message unable to mount internal storage try formatting the internal storage using twrp(data will be lost).

I try new SD card and reformat but same situation. How driver i need for connection over USB?
You'll need to use adb to connect your device whilst in twrp. However why don't you just copy a ROM to SD card and flash that way?

This looks to me as if you're another candidate for this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343
The instructions are for an old ICS rom, but still work with JB 4.2
You may want to search for users ssnova or jjgrantham in the CROMIX thread in the development section and pm them.
They had exactly your problem: only thing they could boot to was TWRP and solved it using above method.
Good luck, let us know if it worked!

Well, after looking a solution to ADB sideload write error from TWRP, I just rebooted TWRP, asked me to install SuperSU, rebooted, and sideload worked perfectly.

That sorted my sideloading error too - many thanks!
I am relatively new to the world of rooting and ROMs, but I have successfully installed CM10 on a previous Samsung phone, so I am decently literate.
I am currently attempting to install CM10.1 on my Verizon Galaxy S III (following the instructions on the Install CM for d2vzw page on the CM wiki), but I have reached an impasse at step 7. I was not aware that I had to put the VRALE6.bootloader.zip file on the SD card before starting this process, so I am now attempting to get that file onto my SD card either by sideloading through CWM or by pushing it to the SD card through adb. The issue is that CWM gives me an error (can't mount SD card) and adb doesn't recognize my device (I have tried installing and reinstalling various drivers for the past few hours). I enabled USB Debugging mode before starting the process, but I am only able to get into Download and CWM modes right now (if I don't do the Download Mode or Recovery Mode key combination, I am stuck on the Galaxy S III screen). Am I bricked at this point, or is there a way to get VRALE6.bootloader.zip onto my phone and continue with the ROM process?
It is important to note that I formatted the SD card before starting this process because I wanted enough space to put the Cyanogenmod file on it. However, I think I may have formatted it generically rather than into FAT-32. Could this be the issue?
I am going to pick up a microSD card reader today in order to flash the SD card to FAT-32 and put the CyanogenMod file on it.
I am getting 5 errors upon startup of CWM (E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, can't mount /cache/recovery/log, etc.). When I try to mount the SD card or external SD card, I get E: Can't mount /sdcard/
Same issue with sd card not mounting.
I'm having somewhat of the same issue. I've tried both Clockwork recovery and TWRP and have the same issue.
Should have mentioned that i still have access to the stock rom and can use my phone just fine.
I some how got Clockwork mod recovery to work using the Rom Manager pro App.
I wish i had been paying better attention to what i was doing but i know i updated CWMrecovery from in rom manager and chose to install my chosen rom with that.
My suggestion is to start over completely. There is a much easier way to do this.
My suggestion is to flash one of the rooted stock ROMs through Odin. There's a thread in android development that has rooted stock. Then when that's done boot up your phone. If it bootloops wipe data. Then use Ez-Unlock 1.2 app to unlock your bootloader. Make sure it's 1.2. Now use GooManager to flash TWRP. You are done! This is probably the easiest way to do this.

I am not familiar with TWRP, so is the process the same for flashing CM (putting CM zip file on sd card and going to install from SD card in TWRP)? Are there any additional steps beyond this?
I am following the directions in the thread linked above to root and install TWRP. So far, I have the rooted stock ROM running fine, but I can't get TWRP to work. I downloaded Goomanager and attempted to get TWRP using the Install Openrecovery Script option. However, it said that it couldn't find a recovery for my device. I also tried to use the adb method, but nothing happened after I put in the commands. I even tried to flash the latest TWRP .tar file from their website using Odin, but it keeps failing. Is there any way to get TWRP on my phone?
EDIT:Whoops, I skipped over the EZ-Unlock step. Now everything works. Thanks for the help, Sandman!

Alright, maybe I'm not quite fixed up yet. I have TWRP installed and I can go between TWRP, download mode, and the normal stock rooted ROM fine. However, I cannot get to the SD Card in TWRP in order to install CM. TWRP gives me the following errors upon booting into recovery:
E: Unable to find parition size for '/boot'
E: Unable to find parition size for '/data'
E: Unable to find parition size for '/recovery'
Updating partition details:
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: TWFunc: :Copy_Log - - Can't open destination log
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
Upon trying to go to Install, I am unable to select the external SD card, and an additional error appears when I attempt to touch Micro SD Card (E: Unable to mount '/external_sd').
I guess I could try to sideload the CM zip file through adb, but I would rather fix the SD card for future use. I have been researching and working on the SD card for the better part of today, to no avail. I am pretty sure the issue is in the formatting of the SD card (it appears to be RAW rather than the required FAT32 for CM), but I cannot format the SD card into FAT-32 no matter what I try (both Windows and 3rd party formatting tools). They all say that the SD card is either write-protected (I have already checked the read/write switch on the side of the SD card adapter) and/or the format cannot be completed. I have tried both my old SD card that I have kept for a few phones (an 8GB Samsung microSD card) and a brand new Sandisk 8GB microSD card, both of which will not work.
I am able to transfer files to the SD card with no issue (with both ADB and through dragging/dropping in Windows), but I cannot install from SD in recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to allow me to install CM on my phone?

Do you have another computer to try formatting the sdcard with? And you said that you receive the same errors when trying to reformat the new 8 GB sdcard as with your other sdcard which is formatted to RAW?

I do have access to another computer, but I ran out of time and patience yesterday. I will try it when I get home later today. And yes, both cards are RAW (even the new one) and I can't get either one to format or work in TWRP.
So it appears the the issue with formatting was due to my computer's drivers (even though I installed the latest Samsung USB drivers) and not the SD card. I was able to format the SD card to FAT32 on another computer and put CM and GAPPS onto it. When booted normally into TouchWiz, the phone sees the SD card fine. However, I still get the same "Can't mount external SD card" error as well as the others previously listed when I attempt to install a zip from recovery. I even tried to sideload the ROM from ADB, but it still didn't work.

Which version of CWM and also TWRP are you using?
And the problems keep rolling in. I was able to mount my SD card and get rid of the TWRP errors by installing a modded TWRP 2.6.0.0 from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44277901). However, when I go to install CM (cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip), I get the following error:

E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip'
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/cm-10.1.3-d2vzw.zip'
Updating partition details
I did a factory reset before attempting to install this, but I did not format data or do anything else.

Well, that is for the Sprint S3 my friend. We can't interchange recoveries between the different S3 models to flash roms. You may want to ask Kennyglass123 or any of those other guys if they can make a change for the VZW S3 for you to test it out.

Sounds good. I think the problem has been isolated to being something with needing a modded TWRP. I tried using an older, non-modded TWRP (2.5.0.0), which didn't work.

Would you mind trying this soft brick fix? If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're experiencing this same issue--excluding the Sprint TWRP issue you just mentioned. You will need to flash your VZW custom recovery either through GooManager, Rom Manager, or Odin btw.

Hi,
I am on TWRP 2.6.3.1 and CM11, but I can´t mount ext. SDcard for backup or flashing ROMs. I have to copy them to internal storage before flashing or restore something. Is this a bug in newest TWRP? Backup and restore to internal storage went well.
