Hi there,
I rooted my phone today and installed CWM.
I then wanted to perform a nandroid back up, factory reset, then install a custom ROM.
However i've been having a problem that's been driving me crazy for the last couple of hours
When i try to backup with CWM to my external SD card it says
>Can't mount backup path.
So i go to mounts and storage, try to mount external_sd and it says
>Error mounting /external_sd!
And even when i try to format it it says the same thing!
What can i do? i completely formatted my SD card and it still won't work.
Also another question. It will back up to my internal SD, but then if i do a factory reset, will it not erase EVERYTHING on the internal storage, thus erasing my back up??? NEED HELP BEFORE I GO MAD!
If anyone has had this or seen this before i'd really appreciate some help! I'm running on a galaxy S3 which is such a common phone i'm surprised i've got any problems. The sd card is a sandisk 64gb.
hopefully someone can give me a hand!
thanks!

I have a HTC Desire,
Rooted my phone with Unrevoked 3.31, everything went fine.
As soon as I got into recovery menu, Clockwork, I cannot mount my SD Card.
When I go to - Install zip from SD Card, and I'm trying to read my sd card to load the ROM zip, it says that Its unable to mount it.
I've seen a couple of posts with information and tried to follow suggestions, but no luck.
Thank you.

Same here. +1....
+1 I'm having this same issue. Been looking for a resolution for 4 HOURS now...
+1 for me...
Same issue here, was there a resolution?
Had this issue with my friends card as well. we ended up pulling the card out and throwing it into a computer. then we reformated it as fat32 put it back in the phone. and it worked. we also went from Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 back to 2.5.x.x Alot of ppl ive talked to are having issues with 3.0.0.5 and some roms/mod/kernals cant be flashed with it.
Also make sure the sd card is not locked i know that sounds like a stupid statement but it needs to be checked lol
i also ran into this problem,, all i did was format my sdcard.. and if u have another card laying around try using it... if formatting through computer does not work, try formatting it through your android phone
Any Luck on the SD card issue
I have the same issue.
no ROM installed so can't boot.
Can't mount SD in recovery (got clockwork mod 2.5.0.7)
tried formatting SD, no luck.
Any ideas??
Hey guys also couldnt mount sd card at all either. Took out my sim card and it works fine...... Telstra sim card. WTF?

Anyone figure this out?? I had trouble flashing Kings Alliance ROM and I had to do a battery pull and then I wanted to get some dust out around my SD card so I unplugged it and not when I'm in recovery it can't mount. PLEASE HELP?!
+1 here. i formated in windows for fat32. after it i wanted to flash a new rom, but in recovery my phone tells me, that he can´t mount my sdcard.
Co can I back up my CWM backups to my computers hard drive? Then If I wanted to restore to a "last known good" put them back on the SD card to flash the backup in recovery? I've looked around and could not find this direct question. I keep getting unexpected unfpunts and want to try formatting the card.
Thanks
Yep. Just copy the Clockworkmod folder off of your sdcard to your computer.
Awesome. I'm hoping a format will resolve the unmount issue.
I messed up bad!!
i wanted to set path for internal sd card as external and switched the two mount points in vold.fstab i do not remember exact script last paragraph was using eagleblood v.08. when media scanner finished it said sd card damaged reformat so i did. Stupid Stupid!!! currently i do not have an actual sd card. i am running clockwork recovery v5.0.1.6S from there cant mount I cannot MOunt ****!!
no internal no cache nothing i wiped everything u can have fixed permissions the only thing i havent done is partition sd card. and im afraid if i do that i will take this royal **** up and Cristen it. i can get software all on computer but then again i do not have sd card and even if i did how could i posible load files onto it?
can i reinstall clockwork via nv flash and also flash rom through nv
**** AGHHH Thank you in advance for any ideas
also
I was also wondering if i got my hands on a sd card with a rom on it would it be able to mount as i screwed with that file Am i totally screwed
DAMIT DAMIT DAMIT
I would suggest flashing Clockwork with NVFlash and then trying to flash a rom through recovery.
tried that
nothing will mount in recovery.
not the cache not the internal
i havent got a sd card so never tried that but being that i switched script on file im doubting even if it would work

Recovery doesn't read any scripts you changed in the OS. In recovery the memory and sd will be as they are designated in the hardware. You should be able to flash from an sd card even if your internal memory is hosed. If not do the new NVFLash full GB recovery method to return your phone to GB stock. That will fix your partitions.
I second what jboxer said to do I would just reture to stock GB. Make sure that you NVflash CWM to the external SD card not the internal. Dont worry man this phone is almost unbrickable well at least permanently anyway. You will be fine. Good luck man
So I had rooted my phone no problem, been using it for over 2 months now. Again, no problem what so ever. I've just installed CM7 on my mytouch 4g slide and noticed a lot of bugs that still needed to be worked out. so I wiped my phone clean and restored it to an earlier date. After I did that, my sd card has been giving me an error as stated "SD card blank or unsupported filesystem." I've tried formatting it, other SD cards and nothing works. is there anyone that can help?!
i wouldn't know how that happened to your sdcard, but when you say you tried formatting it, how did you format it? i once got an sdcard from an ebay purchase, and it gave me that very same message and was unusable(and formatting it with the phone wasn't working). i made it usable by formatting it with a program called SDFormatter, which i downloaded free for Windows. took a montrously long time for the format, but once it was done, the sdcard was fine.
that sucks that you seem to have lost all your stuff tho?
Try flashing a different ROM. The CM7 we have is still in alpha. Give Team Douche time to work out the bugs.
the problem doesn't seem to be the SD card. because all the data was still there. I tried using another SD card thinking maybe that was the problem but it gave me the same error.
I've already factory reset my phone and its still showing the same problem
Could be dust in the SD card slot or some other debris. Try a little bit of compressed air..

I installed the SDFormatter program you mentioned and formatted my wife's 16gig card. Prior to the format the card wouldn't mount in either of our phones and very sporadically on the PC. Now the card will mount without a problem and is usable again.
Thanks bud,

awesome, glad it worked for you also
Hey guys, I need help.
After countless hours of stressing over my SD Card, I still can't get it to mount. I even went downtown to get a new one. I have a Motorola XOOM.
Problem is, I can't even get adb to work cause I can't access usb debug, because I wiped data hoping to re-install the rom. Now I'm still in CWM with nothing to do.
What could it be that's causing my SD Card's to not mount? There was one SD Card that mounted but that's not here right now. Would it be the SD Cards? I reformatted them to FAT32 as well.
Go here see if you can find some solution, search.... the search is a powerful tool, thank you sir.

It happens some time
I have two sd cards
One of them shows in recovery mode other is not mounting though both works great in device for other stuff..
I think its due to lack of some files on them after i use the second card for one week in my device for now they both mounts in recovery.
So what you have to do is use your card in some other android phone for some time..
Installed one or two app on it etc.
Then try again
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
