I am about the flash a custom firmware on my UK Xoom wifi.
I have done it previously several years ago, but am learning all over again how to do it.
My problem is, I have unlocked it and installed cwm recovery and I can get into recovery.
When I select install something from usb, there are no files showing on my SD card, but they are there.
What have I missed?

Hello all,
My little brother has bought this phone a few months ago and he is having the error above. I am able to see the sd card via recovery but once the os has loaded the sd card cannot be mounted. I've tried with three different SD cards already, same issue. I've even tried to format it on the phone to no prevail. I was going to try another rom to see if that fixes the problem but since the os cannot mount the sd card I cannot put the files on the phone. When I try to mount via PC it doesn't recognize it at all. PLEASE HELP!

If you can see the SD card mounted in recovery then you should be able to flash the ROM. Can you not see your files in recovery? Is the phone rooted?
The phone is rooted but I cannot get to cwm. I always get to stock recovery "Android system recovery <3e>" and when I try to flash it gives me the signature verification error.

First sounds like you do not have cwm. See my links in my signature for the iset page, there are odin and one click methods listed and while your add it just to help you better understand read my other link, i understand your doing this for your brother...
I've installed a Gingerbread rom from Jscott30 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523 that came with CWM and I installed a CWM alone via Odin. The rom said it came with everything I needed but I can't boot into the CWM.
I actually had the same problem with the SD card.I was also using the same Gingerbread Rom .I tried installing CWM separately still i was getting the signature verification error. So i went ahead and installed the rooted stock version which was available from the below thread

Now i am using the REMICS rom and the SD card problem has been fixed.
Hello, Good afternoon.
So here's my problem, as you may or may not have (hopefully you have) read the post title i am having troubles with my CWM mounting my SD card so that i am able to either A: Load a ROM or B: connect it to my PC via usb so i can transfer over a ROM.
I have used the all in one toolkit to unlock my bootloader and root my phone, i have also installed the latest versions of SU, so originally after doing all of this everything was fine, A-OK. i then proceeded to download one of the cyanogenmod nightlies via CWM (the latest i believe) this is where as they say "**** hit the fan" so it seemed like everything installed all fine but then it reboots and nothing for hours it was just stuck on the HTC screen. i then switched the phone off and booted into recovery (volume down and power button) i then not sue it if was the right thing to do i wiped the data from the phone thinking it was corrupted and could simply put a new rom on via usb and boot it. however i have the problem of it not being able to mount my USB either to the pc or on the phone it self, i believe i still have access to the phone via ADB (im not 100% sure what ADB is) but i can flash new recoveries via CMD prompt. i have tried older CWM (modecco < did i spell this right? its the touch CWM) and i also tried TWRP Recoveries both of which cannot mount SD card and recieve the error "unable to open ums Lunfile" or "error mounting SD card".
i have searched many of the forums but form what i can see my solution requires me to boot into the OS but i cant do that nor can i mount my SD card to load a new one i.e putting on an Update.zip file to load a rom/os to the phone.
i dont generally ask for help as i enjoy trying to solve these issue and problems but i have been trying for a few days now and thought i would ask the experts.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Dear all,
I was flashing a new ROM and as usual I backed-up my phone before. The new installation didn't work and it got stuck rebooting. I went to the recovery mode and tried to recover my data but when it said successful and rebooted it got stuck again. So I decided to install again the ROM I was using, and it worked. It allowed me to recovery my backup, BUT without the SD-card functioning. Apparently I lost all my data, I can't use any of the apps related to the internal storage, there's no sd card now. I tried mounting the device through the recovery but the computer doesn't recognise it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
I already solved it, I flashed a new recovery and got access to the sd card again.
Thanks anyways
Hi.
I have a problem with my Sony Xperia Tipo. I have CM10 and I downloaded rom based on it. Everything went ok, but this rom needed storage fix. I've changed file that was needed for this in Root Explorer (because some people said that doing that in CWM isn't working), so I have done that. After that, when I wanted to restart the phone the phone restarted itself. After few restarts I've seen that my phone is bootlooped. I pasted rom zip on my micro SD card with computer and a reader and I did factory reset and formated /system. After this I've seen that CWM can't read the external_sd, probably because of some problems with this before. I want to send this file through ADB, but I haven't unlocked USB debugging yet. What should I do? I have CWM, now useless ADB, unlocked bootloader and formated system ;_; Sorry for my english.
I'd say flash an FTF, or flash the CM10 ZIP again. You should be good.
Thanks Flashed ftf with flashtool and it is working right now.
//EDIT
Don't close mod.
Phone still don't see external SD. What should I do?
//EDIT 2
All right, restarted the phone and now it see a ext SD.
I had a asus tf101 tablet lying around and thought a new rom would be nice .i flashed a rom (katkiss) with making a backup and it just bootloops. i have and older CWM recovery which does not support sd card so i cant flash anything off of that. ive tried formatting it to fat32, still no luck.i cant connect the tablet to my any of my pc's because the only usb cable i have is bad ( it only charges the tablet) .so my question is, how can i get a rom (any rom for the tf101) on to the tablet? only my recovery works. i have a twrp image on the tablet's storage and i've tried flashing the zip inside CWM but when the tablet reboots its back to CWM.
