[Q] How to fix a CWM boot loop? - General Questions and Answers

I installed a custom rom for my Galaxy Player 3.6(YP-GS1) and I can't figure out how to fix this error.
First it boots like normal then straight into cwm. After a brief time it reboots by itself. I think I know how to fix but I don't know how to flash a rom with an external sdcard. And It seems that whenever I try to install from my internal sdcard it gives me an error like my internal storage is corrupted.
The error says
-- Installing R0m.zip​Finding update package...​Cannot mount sdcard/R0m.zip​Installation aborted​
I would be very greatful to whoever can fix my issue.

[Q] error with mounting /sdcard and flashing

hey guys and girls, hopefully you can help me out.
I'm using a t-mobile galaxy S, trying to flash a new rom after I rooted it. I followed the instructions, and I have CWM able to load. when I got into select the install from the SD card, I'm able to select the file (trying bionix frost), it tries to load it, but then comes back telling me 'Can't mount /sdcard' and any subsquent attempts to even browse for the install zip give me the same error. I can boot the phone into the rooted stock image, access anything on the SD card there fine, copy files to it, etc, but CWM will not install the ROM's or keep the /sdcard mounted.
anyone here run into this issue? I'm using CwM Voodoo lagfix Recovery 3.0.2.8x
It's been awhile since I flashed that ROM...
Did you change the mounts manually? Does the OP say to change mounts? Back then we had to change the mounts ourselves in CWM to UMMU.
I'm at work and just sending a quick reply..check the OP to see what your mounts should be
to clarify a bit, this isn't just on a specific ROM, this is for ANY rom I try, after I access any ZIP file through CWM, it unmounts the SD Card and won't let me get back to it unless I reboot, and the cycle repeats.
Ok. Sorry I can't help you with that. I'm still kinda new.
I'm sure you'll get the help you need soon especially with your last reply.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be of help.
I'm backing up and will format my SD card to see if this is the problem, saw this fixed a couple of errors like this for other peeps.
So since I couldn't get CWM to install the rom, I used ODIN and flashed to gingerbread. that's installed and working (had it fail the first time, but the 2nd installed and was up inside 10 minutes)

Can't mount/access external_SD after flashing

After flashing a stock ROM, my A701 is stuck at the first screen with the "acer" logo.
I can get into fastboot mode and also start CWM recovery, but can't access external_SD - when I try to mount it in CWM, it gives an error.
So I can't copy an image to the A701 to reflash again.
Any idea how I can fix this problem ?
Many thanks in advance !
This usually happens to me when the card is removed without proper unmounting it, put the card into a cardreader and plug it in to your computer, maybe it checks for errors automatically, if it does not, scan manually.
This usually helps me when my sd card is not mountable.
Since you're able to get into recovery, have you tried to do the adb push method? Something like adb push /ROM.zip /sdcard0" I can't recall of the top of my head what the default sdcard directory is, but I hope you get the picture..
Thanks guys, I succeeded with flashing Iconian ROM from another external SD and my tablet is running again.
Now I would like to go back to a stock ROM, preferably 4.0.4 - is there any version which is CWM flashable ?

[Q] Internal memory

Hello,
I'm having some problems with an old (rooted) samsung galaxy apollo (i5800). I tried to flash CMW recovery but afterwards, I
1. Don't have it
2. ! I don't have any internal memory !
The second one is the main problem. Sometimes I read that you don't need internal memory for installing a terminal emulator, but when I try to install it, it still says: not enough memory. Installing on my sd also doesn't work (I just can't). Does anybody have a solution? Also, the phone resets itself everytime I boot it. I can get into the recvery mode, I thought may be something with the update.zip?
Thanks in advance!

CMR, CWM or my device?

I have seen this mentioned a few times in several threads without any resolve that I can find.
Since flashing CWM 6.0.4.5 it no longer will go straight into a backup or restore without stopping at the CWR recovery screen with the following error message:
waiting for sd card to mount (20s)
SD card mounted...
Verifying SD Card marker...
SD card marker not found...
Error processing ROM manager script. Please veri
fy that you are performing the backup, restore,
or ROM installation from ROM manager v4.4.0.0 or
higher.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockwor
kmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to re
port the issue.
Well it has been reported several times and I am up to date with ROM manager.
Has anyone else experienced this? And if so were able to resolve it?
Maybe we can figure this out. :fingers-crossed:
I don"t know if this is related but in ROM Manager it identifies the sd card as: extSdCard/ But when booted in recovery CWR identifies the sd card as: /storage/sdcard1
I downgraded to ROM Manager 6.0.3.1 and now it will perform a backup or restore seamlessly without the error but I will not be able to flash any 4.4.x roms. Also the sd card path now states: /storage/extSdCard/
any help is appreciated!
I fixed it! I have converted to twrp recovery and rom installer as my interface app. (it was already on my device included in rom toolbox) they work together seamlessly. Thanks everyone for your help!

Help! Asus SL101 stuck in CWM, can't mount /sdcard, error mounting /data :(

Hi all.
I've been searching the net for hours for a solution to this issue, to no avail.
I have an Asus Slider SL101 that I wanted to upgrade to KatKiss so here's what I've done...
- Root successfully (1-click transformer root 1.1 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193)
- Installed CWM Recovery (6.0.1.3) successfully (also using above)
- put all the relevant zips (katkiss, gapps, slider comp pack) on the sd card ready for flash
- booted into recovery...
Next I went to wipe data/factory reset... but it froze so I did a hard boot and tried again: same thing.
So I went to install the rom zip from sdcard and I get error message 'can't mount /sdcard/'
Also getting 'error mounting /data' and 'unknown volume for path [/sdcard/].
I can't get back to my original Android settings at all, I'm assuming it's all gone or something. Maybe the reset did work.
The big issue is I can't access the damn zip files on the sd card to install a rom.
I have these ADB tools (with adb and all these random executables and various files scattered about) but if I can't start Android then I can't use them can I?
It's a bit of a mess really. I'm thinking if I can just get the slider to mount the sd card then I can install the rom and I should be back in.
I'm not sure how to go back to stock recovery (whatever that means) so if you advise that I should 'flash' then I'm afraid I'm going to need some clear instruction.
Stupidly, I forgot to do a backup, which is probably half the reason I'm here, although that still doesn't account for the sdcard error...
Anyway, please help a moron out?

Ive got the same problem. CWM cant mount the sd card. Ive been searching for days, but all the links in any solution i did find are outdated. I did read somewhere that it means that the CWM version isnt compitable with the Sl101. I can't find any other/older versions then the Manager i downloaded from Playstore. I want to flash the Twrp Recovery and then the kisskat ROM, compability pack.. Gapps
.etc but i cant seem to get any of that done if CWM can't mount the damn sdcard. (Sorry i got a bit frustrated over this). Ive never rooted anything before so im new to this. Did anyone find a solution for this? Or has an link to some other version of CWM that is compitable to mount the sdcard? Thank you very much in advance)
Probably not what you wanna hear, but I didn't find a solution and had to throw my beloved slider away!
