Can't mount /sdcard in ClockWorkMod - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am no expert but I have a decentidea about flashing roms and kernels. I recently flashed droidkang rom and elemental x kernel on my nexus. When I boot into recovery (CWM) now and choose install zip from sdcard I get an error message saying 'Can't mount /sdcard'.What should I do now?

You didn't encrypt did you?
Can you access in rom still?
Tried different recoveries such as Philz or TWRP?

Yeah that helped. I installed TWRP and now everything's fine. Thanks.

Clockwork recovery 5.x on Nexus S?

Hi all,
My son upgraded his Nexus S to clockworks 5.x recovery (using ROM Manager recovery update) and now he cannot backup from ROM Manager, just directly from the recovery.
When he tries to backup from ROM Manager, the recovery complains about a bad script from ROM Manager and aborts the backup.
1. Is this a known problem?
2. Where can he find a clockwork recovery known to work with RM on Nexus S?
Thanks,
K.
Reboot. Or reinstall rom manager. It works fine.

[REF] List of Custom Recoveries (3-08-14)

Custom Recoveries​
This is the most recent list of recoveries for the SCH-i535 Verizon galaxy S3. I will be keeping this up to date to make it easier to find the most recent recoveries for our device.
Installation
CWM and TWRP are .img files and are easiest to install from EZ Recovery or Flashify apps from the play store.
​EZ-Recovery
​Flashify
Philz is installed by either using odin to flash the .tar.md5 file or by flashing the zip in recovery.
Safestrap is installed through an application.
I don't hold any responsibility of what happens to your phone due to flashing these.
Clockworkmod Recovery
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
Clockworkmod Touch Recovery
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
TWRP Recovery
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0 - 10-21-13
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1 - 11-24-13
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0 - 3-08-14
Philz Touch Recovery
Advanced CWM Recovery
Philz Touch Recovery 5 - v. 5.15.0 - CWM 6.0.3.7 - 10-21-13
Philz Touch Recovery 6 - v. 6.15.4 - CWM 6.0.4.7 - 2-13-14
Safestrap Recovery
Only use on VRUCML1 base! Modified TWRP with sdcard partitioning ability for custom roms on locked bootloaders.
Safestrap Recovery - TWRP 2.6.3.1 - 1-10-14
Updating the Update-Binary
If you receive a status 7 error when flashing a zip in recovery, pull the update binary from the latest CM nightly. This should be resolved in Philz Recovery as it automatically works around it, but may throw errors in the latest CWM recovery.
Here's how to replace the file:
Unzip the folder
Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android
Replace the older update-binary with the newer one
rezip
This will allow files to flash on the newer recoveries until all developers update the binary on their own zips, or a fix is in place.
I want to thank @andybones for giving me this idea, and giving me permission to make an updated thread.
I also want to thank all the developers of these great recoveries.
I don't always have time to check and see when these are updated, so if someone could reply to this thread or PM me when there's an update that would be great. I'll provide a link for it and update the thread.
Thank you ever since i flashed an aosp rom and created that stupid 0/ folder i javent been able to flash a new recovery. Stuck on TWRP 2.6.0.0 for months

I used flashify to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.5.0 to 2.6.3 just fine.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy SIII, via Tapatalk.
Flashify works fine, I just recommend ez recovery because the interface is very simple and it's made for flashing recoveries only.
It's also made for this specific phone model only and it flashes recoveries more reliably and without any hiccups that I've seen with other recovery apps. I think it's very well made despite it being over a year old.

For some reason when I've used ez recovery, it didn't change my recovery version.

Sometimes it does that, I usually flash from my internal card and that fixes the problem, try moving the file and try again.
You can tell it was successful because it takes a second to flash, if it doesn't work the notification flash successful will come up instantaneously.

It doesn't even show up from the internal SD card when I'm in recovery. I've tried using ez and flashify and both say the same thing but same results. I've even tried downloading it from the website and it won't even download the img file

Some browsers don't download the file properly, I use Chrome and it works. You should be able to move it to your internal SD card, find it by hitting the ellipses next to custom, and flash it.
If you still can't do it, there's a tar file on their website that you can use to ODIN flash.

Prolly just do it that way. Will it erase my ROM and all that or will it be safe? Haven't ever reflashed a recovery after being rooted

Does anybody know of a recovery that will work with a new Verizon GS3? I just got an insurance replacement that is brand new. I can't find a recovery that will mount the internal or external SD card. I was able to root, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery but neither TWRP or CWM will mount the SD cards (or any partitions that I can tell).
It sounds like the guys with the Sprint GS3 have figured it out and I'm wondering if anybody has a modified recovery for the Verizon GS3. Here's the Sprint forum about this issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
Any help would be appreciated. I miss my CleanRom!

Make sure you are on the newest version. They both work.

Thread updated, official Philz touch recovery is now supported for our device! Give it a try if you like CWM recovery.
I can't flash any roms with Philz recovery. Will edit with more info in a moment.

Nexus 5 problem after cwm install

Hello,
Does anyone have a problem with cwm unrooting phone after reboot? The phone gives some options while I try to reboot to fix root but whether I pick yes or no it unroot the phone. Cwm was installed with rom manager app.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
1) don't use rom manager
2) use other recovery that allows this to be disabled. Philz or TWRP

Can device have more than one recovery?

If I flash a different recovery, will cwm be erased?
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
Of course! It replaces the old recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
So to flash a certain kernel I'll temporarily add the derfuel recovery. And then later I can go back to cwm?
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
You can only have one recovery.
When flashing kernels they do not replace your recovery. They are separate images.
If you flash TWRP (A different recovery) and you have CWM installed. It will be over written.
The recovery doesn't matter when you flash kernels. Unless the developer states? :s
