[Q] internal SD not mount in the correct place - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

hello team,
i have an I777, the problem i receive is : E: can't mount /emmc/
the i read a lot articles about this and non of them is looks like my problem, because the internal sd is detected in the MCW recovery like the external SD, abd when you try to mount the internal SD he just reconize that one like a external when i connect the external SD card in the phone, he detect that one like the internal SD, and let me mount the OS, but when the system restart to open the OS is not working and just send the galaxy sII screen and then shoot down the cel.
help please!!

If I'm understanding this correctly, in settings>storage and in there you can swap the storage settings.
Sorry if this isn't your problem. You might want to explain more.
Cheers!

well the problem is the phone not enter to the OS, if you try to install the factory image same issue, when you enter to the recovery mode with the CWM you can see the 2 SD card the internal one and the external but in the options display like the internal SD card is detected like as an external and when i mount the external SD he detect that one like the internal SD card, I'm not able to enter to the android just to the recovery mode, i use odin to install different kernels and the problem is the same, i install the gingerbread stock OS and the problem is the same.

I think I understand your problem. It has to do with which kernel your using. On some the two sd cards are swapped on others it is correct. There is really not much you can do about it in recovery except try to keep track of which is really which. I suggest making a folder on your internal called "internal" and a folder on the external called "external". Then you'll always know which one your actually in.

He's right. Try flashing something else and see what happens.

welll i'm not able to use the phone, just to connect in the computer with the recovery mode and use to mount usb, but when i do that the systems i connect the phone not detect the external SD, but detect the internal SD when i change the kernel the CWM detect both SD cards, but in the incorrect places, when i install the siyah 3.1 not run the phone i was just able to enter to the download mode, then i use the NEAK, enter to the recovery mode and not detect non of the SD and not let me mount the SD cards when i go to the mount options, i use the rogue sm recovery to reset the settings but the problem persist, then use the sph cwm fixed but the problem is the same, then i install again the gingerbread ( the factory OS ) not pass the galaxy s II screen, but if i connect the cell by usb he enter to the gingerbread,
this is something ready weird!!!!

Thats not weird man, Samsung screws with stuff, AOSP builds attempt to right this. The fact that you cant mount your sdcard to your pc in recovery, doesnt seem that big of a deal, put a file on internal and flash it, how hard is that?
And after going back to stock, a reset in 3e recovery might be required.

Hmmmmm. Try putting another kernel on an external SD card maybe?

not work what you recommend .

not work also.
if i connect the cel to the usb he enter with the gingerbread os, but sometimes shutdown the phone, if some one have any way to make a total reboot the cel because when i try to do that to the internal sd and the external sd not delete the information and also i don't try to delete or format the external and internal card in the computer when i have that one connected because i don't want to screw up more my phone.

Please don't take this the wrong way. But I'm guessing english is not your first language? What you are saying is not making much sense. At least not to me. Is anyone else making sense of it. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's hard to help you when it's hard to understand what your doing or trying to do.

well what is happening is that the internal SD is being detected in the cel and the external and vice versa, while the phone is connected to the computer via USB does get into the operating system, but sometimes goes in that way, that only is possible if I am with the gingerbread installed on the phone, and install different versions of kernels and none detects the internal SD where q is everyone sees the external SD as the primary I formatted both SD and still the problem, I put different fix to return to the state makes the phone but still the same problem ....
if as you say English is not my first language and as I am somewhat accelerated by this problem I have with the phone not devote myself to see if I'm giving me to understand what he said I hope this explanation makes more sense than the above and thank you for support as in any other forum I've read and seen q talk about a similar problem everyone talks about simple things that disabled the internal SD or q does not detect the external and stuff. but an investment of both and therefore it can not install the operating system to separate the kernels mentioned roms or installed from the CWM or from odin.

What rom are using and which kernel.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2

the kernel use in this moment is the CWM 5.0.3,
also test with the NEAK and the Siyah 3.1,
the CWM is the only one can see both SD and enter to the recovery, the other 2 not let me enter to the recovery, in this moment i have install the gingerbread stock rom,

So you're trying to use an ics kernel with a gb rom?

no, i now install that kernel now because the system not enter to the recovery mode with the stock kernel.
in this moment the cel have the CWM install because i will try to install the serendipity 9 .

Ok i'm done if I respond to this im gonna say something ridiculous. Lol. Good luck man. I honestly can't understand what he is trying to do it seems he is just randomly flashing hoping it works.

lol ^
Im not sure either.
sdcard location inside CWM doesnt matter.
Put a ROM on either sdcard and flash it, following the instructions on the ROM's Original Post(OP)
End of story.

[Q] Question about Clockworkmod Recovery

So I had a restore point on my TMo Stock rom created using the Clockworkmod recovery. I tried to update to Axura 2.1 from 2.0.5 today and the update messed up halfway. I'm going to take a wild guess it's my horrible mac book pro's wrong doing, faulty download (I'm a mac hater, it's a company issue device). Anyway, my phone is basically stuck at recovery and I have to wait till I head home to use the USB Cable and redownload the rom.
So my questions:
1. Is there no way to access the external SD Card? So I thought of copying a new download of the rom to the external SD, but all I can access is the internal SD card contents when installing zip from sd card. I tried to mount ext-sd (or sd-ext?) and it fails.
2. I tried restoring to the restore I created when I had my stock rom. It seems to go through it but then it just goes back to the recovery after reboot?
3. When I go home, how do I copy the files to the internal SD Card? For some reason, I don't think it's as easy as pluggin the usb cable to the phone while in Recovery mode?
Help would be appreciated.

[Q] Cant mount sd card to phone. Need help PLEASE

I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Need help recovering photos from bad vibrant

I'm trying to get files (my photos mostly) off the internal storage of my Vibrant. I don't care about getting the Vibrant working again, just getting my files off it. I can get into recovery mode, but mounting usb storage *does not work*, even tried unplugging and replugging the phone but no dice. I can install zips from the sd card (though it takes 5x longer than normal) but any ROM I install, stock, cyanogen, slim, etc. won't actually finish booting.
Because USB mounting doesn't work, I'd like to use CWM to copy all the files on the internal storage to the sd card. Then I can put the sd in another computer and get the files off. In CWM I can do a backup to sd, but that doesn't backup photos, just the rom. Is there a way to generally copy files from internal to the sd using CWM?
Also, the entire time I'm in recovery mode my PC makes the sound for a usb device being connected and then disconnected, assume that has something to do with the Vibrant being generally busted.
In summary:
Trying to recover files from vibrant phone storage
Can't boot any regular ROM
Can get into CWM recovery
USB mount in CWM recovery *does not work*
Can install zip from sd card
Can backup to sd card
Have a spare working vibrant for charging battery
Any ideas?
Okay I'll see if I can help any. First of all, can you successfully use Odin to return to stock firmware? Have you even attempted using Odin?
Can try using recuva or there is another one too but the XDA search is missing right now. Moped_Ryder usually recommends that one that I can't remember right now, but once the search button is back, I'll let you know what it is. Works like a charm. Droid recover or Droid Files, ahh I can't think of it but there is a solution on here somewhere.
Try a program called Android Commander.
Ive transferred files in CWM with it all the time.
Agreed with android commander. It has always worked for me. There are other solutions too with these new kernels these days. You can download Devil kernel or subzero via PC(They both include new file manager in recovery).Put it on your external card, flash, reboot back into recovery. Mount your internal and external cards from mounts and storage menu. Go to file manager and copy/paste away.

[Q] Think I lost my paddle...

Ok, without getting into the cascading series of screwiness along the way, I think I've managed to effectively brick my phone. I'm posting in hopes that the part of my brain screaming "No, you're missing something" is right.
e970, already rooted, running CyanogenMod 10.1 and TWRP 2.6.3.0. In pursuit of a "clean slate" to deal with remnants of sloppy uninstallations, I thought I'd clear everything with TWRP and just put CM back. So, I pulled out my SD card with my saved data, and had TWRP wipe everything, including the CM zip on the root of the built-in storage. I copied the newer CM and GAPPS to a spare SD card, plugged it in...
and I found the external SD card wasn't recognized by TWRP. There's only 1 storage location listed, which is the built-in area I just wiped.
I can't get the phone to be recognized by a desktop running Windows 8.1. I have freshly installed the drivers, downloaded the SDK, rebooted, etc. from that side. The phone is never recognized by either Windows or ADB. So, I dug out the laptop I originally installed CM from some time back (last year?). Same story - no Windows or ADB recognition.
Ok, fine - maybe the USB port is dying on me. I'll try formatting the SD card and see if that's the issue. FAT32, copy the files back, still no luck. Great. Maybe it's the card, so I copy my data and put the zips on the original card I had in the phone. Still no dice.
So, here I am. No OS installed, no image on the internal drive to recover from, TWRP won't recognize my external card(s), and I can't get anything to acknowledge the phone via USB to do a sideload.
Am I missing something, or did I completely hose myself?
I forgot to mention: I did try different cables and ports on both computers before arriving at the idea the e970 USB port may have having issues.
Have you tried a different SD card?
SD card have a finite lifespan, and I've seen them fail n the middle of normal use. The first thing I'd try would be a different SD.
If that doesn't work, you may have to just LGPNST back to bone stock.
(You may want to play with the "Partition SD Card" option under "Advanced" in TWRP. It'll wipe any data on the card so back up to your computer first, but this may kick the SD card into being recognized by the phone [though I dont know how windows would react to it])

I did, in fact. I tried it on a spare first, so I didn't have to worry about erasing the data on the SD card I pulled out of the phone. When that failed, I tried copying the zips onto my original card, which was also not picked up. I've found other posts on here that suggest this particular version of TWRP had issues reading external cards, but I don't see any way to get a different one on the phone at this point.

I might be missing the mark here, but wouldn't this format the already-empty internal storage (since it's the one selected) rather than the external card?

If you can boot the phone into fastboot (should be VOL UP + Power), you should be able to flash the recover that way with:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
You'll need to get the .img instead of a flashable zip obviously, but that can be done even by grabbing the "recovery.img" file from a flashable recovery zip.

I've honestly not messed with this option; I just know I've solved similar problems with flash drives in the past by formatting in different ways.

How is he going to do that? He can't get a PC to recognize the phone.
Maybe try a Linux box? You could make an Ubuntu live USB stick with some extra storage space on it, and try running adb from there.

There's a thought... I think I have a Knoppix disk around here that I could boot from. I don't have high hopes, since it's not being recognized by the laptop I did this on originally, but I'll give anything a shot at this point. I'll let you know how it goes.
No dice. ADB gives me the same response whether the phone is at the fastboot screen or the sideload inside TWRP.

Check ALL your cords
Another update. After presuming me e970 dead, going to Best Buy to shop for an AT&T Next upgrade, running the HTC One m8 for a couple days, I get a wild hair to try the HTC cord on the old phone. Oddly enough, it works and the phone was picked up immediately. I've already pushed CM over via adb, and and working on gapps now.
Apparently both of the cords I tried previously weren't up to spec for smartphone use. I'm going to have to come up with a labelling system on what's good for trickle charges and what's good for data.
I'm not sure what a return will do to my upgrade status, but I'd rather wait on a new phone. It even looks like I know what I'll get. Thanks for the ideas along the way.
Nice, glad you found a solution. Unless things have changed with the new plans, you should be OK to return the phone within 14 days and keep your upgrade.

Wiped all system data, now stuck on cwm custom recovery mode

I am a complete newbie to rooting. I followed the kingoroot guidelines and rooted my Idea Aurus 3 phone. Root was success. The next step I did was downloading custom recovery and cyanogenmod ROM from here to my memory card
I flashed the custom recovery with flashify. The next step I did was wiping all data from the device by entering in to recovery mode (including cache and everything)
I was hoping I could simply install zip from sd card. But when i click on this option, I cannot find my sd card nor zip file (I checked most folders including emmc, etc, sd-ext and couldn't find SD card. The custom recovery name is Phylz touch 6
Now basically I have a phone without OS and all I can do is accessing custom recovery. I don't have a back up too
I can also see an error log "Cannot mount custom path"
I formatted the memory card to exFAT from FAT 32 hoping that would work, it didn't help as well.
Also tried to connect phone to pc using USB (thinking I can move rom to system memory), but wouldn't detect phone memory
Now, is there any way to get this fixed? Any help would be awesome
Thanks!!!
Mount USB option is how you see phone from computer if I remember correctly I haven't used cwm in awhile I always use twrp

download ur rom again.
put it on another sd card and flash the rom from sd.
or there's always a way to flash stock
If u were on philz 6, u cud just hit 'clean
to install a new rom ' and flash ur rom without wiping extra anything.

I mean external sd card. The ROM is in external sd card, but i cannot see it in recovery mode.
Also, I just tried to sideload rom by using sdk tools.
The result i got was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\platform-tools>adb sideload cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.z
ip
loading: 'cm-12-20150320-OFICIAL-5020.zip'

Remove sd card and reinsert it while in cwm and in twrp you mount partitions do the equivalent for cwm for your SD card and make sure your SD card is not corrupted

Resolved!! Yay!!
Finally, all fixed.
Let me explain what I did:
I was not able to see zip or sd card in recovery mode. So I pushed the zip file to data/media/0 and installed zip by browsing to that path.
I was not able to flash Cynogenmod, because during the process the reboot was in to my old logo, So I assume it was failure. Then I downloaded a stock rom of my phone model and pushed it to the same location and installed it.
Now, is working fine so far.
Thanks everyone!

I have to remove battery to insert card, so I cannot do that while in recovery mode. However I was able to push the zip to system memory with adb (sdk tools). Cynogen mod didnt work for me, so I used a stock one again
I will still search for a new version as this one is JB 4.1
Well glad you got it fixed
