[Q] How do I install clockworkmod recovery?

Hi, I have tried and tried to get CWM to put over my old version of CWM but it never works. I was wondering if you guys could pack this file into a .tar. Would installing the version I have on my computer right now by going to the old CWM menu then clicking install zip from sd card>install zip from internal sd card and then click the CWM file I have install CWM properly?

You cannot flash recovery, while being inside a recovery. Install zip from sd card will install over the system partition.
This is probably not what you want.
Use fastboot to flash your img file.
ROM Manager can also flash to recovery coz the recovery is not mounted when device is boot normally.

Mobile Odin is the only way I can flash 6.0.0.19, 5.5.0.4 works through Windows Odin though for me.
Just remember you should be flashing a recovery.img file

"E:Can't mount /sdcard/" on CWM Recov. 5.8.3.1

"E:Can't mount /sdcard/" on CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1 with Touch Support on the Motorla Xoom with the ROM My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)
SD Card is 64GB and has previously worked. When I was unable to mount the SDCard, I put ROMs on a 8GB card formated to FAT32 SDCard but still got the error.

You can use fastboot to flash the img files.
fastboot flash recovery <filename>

Using that command, where do I first put the img file on the tablet?

You have to put the img file on computer and use fastboot to flash it with Xoom connected to your computer.

And now I'm stuck at "Starting fastboot protocol support."

I have searched the Forums for this issue. And while there are several post related to this issue I am still having problems getting my 64gb class 10 SD card to work on my verizon s3 using JellyBeans 14- Stock Kernel.
I have done the following.
1) Formatted the card in Fat32 using easeus on my PC
2) I am using CwR 6.0.3
3) Transferred files from 32GB to 64GB
I can read and access the files once I boot up the phone, however if I am in cwrp I cannot mount the SD Card (e:/ cannot Mount SD)
Apologize in advance if this is redundant, but am I experiencing a unique situation or have others experienced it..

[Q] SD Card no longer detected when downgrading from 12.1

I am facing a really weird problem.
Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.
The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.
But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.
It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.
How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?

Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.
Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)

Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.

Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.
Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.

It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.

How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.

If you have not installed TWRP recovery then you can't install anything not directly from alcatel. See the thread in android development.
