CWM can't mount USB Storage please help!!!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In clockwork recovery I press mount USB storage to get the storage to show up, but nothing is coming up on my laptop. I need to a flash a new rom and my internal memory has been formatted.
I also can't boot up in my current rom, it just freezes on boot
Please help!

It's normal doesn't mount USB storage with the original CWM/kernel. To solve it install/flash another one (Siyah, Fluxxi, etc).
About it doesn't boot your current rom, back-up all the information and format/wipe everything.

I'm having the same problem, only with a HTC One M8. When I connect to my Imac and select "Mount USB Storage" , I get nothing on screen. I'm using an Imac with Yosemite.

[Q] Can't mount internal storage

So I was running Mean Rom just fine, and then a little while ago I decided to flash Paranoid Android. I ran the v3 superwipe, and it got stuck on /system as it usually does for me when wiping after I had a Sense rom. I rebooted back into TWRP, and it took about a minute and a half to load, and now it can't see the internal storage. It keeps failing to mount dev/block/mmcblk0p38. I tried to wipe internal storage and got that same error that it can't access dev/block/mmcblk0p38.
Is this a hardware thing what? Kinda perplexing.
Internal is most likely corrupt, go into recovery and select mount/mount usb and plug it into pc, it will prompt you to reformat. If not then try updating to the latest twrp if you haven't and mount to pc again

[Q] How to access recovery after flashing Google Edition?

I recently tried to switch over to the HTC One Google edition rom. When I installed it boots up and says com.android.phone has stopped working and constantly keeps spamming it. I imagine I flashed something wrong no big deal I thought just reboot back into recovery and flash again. However I can't manage to get back to recovery, I tried to press down and power to access it and that didn't work I've tried both volume keys and power that didn't work. I've tried turning the phone completely off holding down and then power on and that didn't work. I'm not sure what else to try.

Okay so I fixed the first issue, however now I'm having a new problem. I'm trying to mount the internal storage from my recovery because currently I have no OS on the phone because I accidentally deleted all data instead of just the factory data. I have the rom download on my pc but when I go to mount on recovery it make the noises that windows does when a device is plugged in but it doesn't show up on my computer now. How do I mount the internal storage so I can paste my rom into it and then flash it?
There is no mounting the internal storage from recovery, flash a custom recovery that supports adb sideload and use a guide on here to do so...

[Q] need to bring a file to the phone, no ROM installed

I've attempted to flash a newer version of cyanogenmod on my phone (10.1.3 to 11). I'm using TWRP 2.6.1.0
I can not boot because I've wiped the phone (dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache), and I suspect the ROM I have is corrupted but I can't connect it to my computer and transfer the file via USB because I have no ROM installed and can not boot. I also can't take the SD card (since there's non) and put the file that way.
My phone is Oppo find 5
My root file flashing was successful, but installation of the ROM cm-11-20140204-NIGHTLY has failed. I assume the file was corrupted, but I have no way to find out what it is.
I now realize my mistakes, like wiping the system unnecessarily.
Is there any way to get another file on the device? any other suggestions?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was not able to find the right place. I apologize in advance.
Eyal,

Check that thread, set up adb and push a ROM to the internal sd of your phone via adb. You can use adb in recovery mode (I could in CWM, dont know about your recovry) so if you can boot into recovery, you can push the rom. (There is info on the thread about adb pushing/pulling)

Cwm has an option to mount storage to PC in mounts & storage menu
Check if twrp has the option
You can mount it that way:good:

Seems like a corrupted backup. Did you install the proper drivers for your phone? I would suggest you to reflash neatrom( if you already have the zip file in your internal sd card). If your pc can't detect your phone, how are you supposed to put any files into your phone?
there is the last kies & drivers in my laptop and it can recognize my brother's galaxy s4
also the last flash zip file was from long time and i delete it
my pc can't detect my phone but before format i put aosp neatrom to ext-card by wireless by es explorer !
i don't know why not recognize and why corrupted backup in same time ><

Ii had a version of neatrom on my device i forgot wich. But i think the ex-card has some errors couse i could mount exsdcard. I had the same problem with restore don.t know why. I suggest you take microsd card to pc and formaat fat32 before you recover your data. Put also o new recovery and a desire rom zip. And try again . if is not working try with other microsd card.

[Q] Help! Internal USB Storage and SD Card Problem

Okay. Here's the thing. Let me try to break the story down:
I tried to flash the MIUI ROM. So basically, I followed the instructions to the best of my ability, but when it was time to flash the ROM itself, I got a Status 7, and installation aborted. When I rebooted, the screen was stuck on the Mi logo (which was peculiar since the installation aborted). It was taking a long time, so I assumed that, yep, bootloop.
So what I did was I flashed stock ROM using odin. Just the stock rom (ie, you have to repartition before flashing the miui rom). But one think I noticed before I flashed the ROM, was after I repartition through ODIN, the USB storage was 0.00b/0.00b. Several bootloops after, I finally got my phone working, but this time I can't access my USB storage. When I go to the task manager, it says 0.00b/0.00b. When I plug it in my PC, the only drive I see is the SD card (when there should be two, right?). PLUS, when I boot the phone and go to the media files (example, music app, gallery app etc.) it says I have no SD card inserted. When I do.
On screen, the notification says the USB storage is something, like unsupported and when I tap it, it says I have to format my USB storage. When I do tap format, it says that it's still checking the USB storage, and the notification comes up again. If it's imporatant, I also tried formatting the USB storage via CWM, but it says cannot mount /emmc. I ALSO can't find my phone on my PC now. The GT-I900 doesn't come up in my drives when I plg it in
I've tried flashing the stock PIT file, but to no avail. Please help. I just want a faster phone (hopefully via MIUI) or
Oh, and please bear with me. I'm a complete noob.
After re-partitioning, you need to wipe the partitions (/system /data (sdcard0). Make Backups and don't forget to flash a Rom/Kernel after wiping /system, because else your recovery will be lost.
I'll try to help you since I did installing MIUI v6 ROM by @blackra1n which also require resizing system partition.

Status 7 could be possible you were using older custom recovery when installing the ROM.

So, you were repartition using PIT file then install MIUI— failed, then now go back to STOCK ROM (stock firmware?), right?
Did you do repartitioning again to stock PIT version before do flashing the stock ROM?

Please don't do something careless with /emmc as it might risking your EFS which may loosing your phone info such as IMEI, WIFI, and other radio related data. Please try to repeat the procedure back to flashing stock ROM:
1) Turn on your phone and boot to download mode (home+volume down+power). Connect your phone to PC through USB cable. Run Odin on your PC.
2) Press PIT button and select the stock PIT. Make sure the "repartition" checkbox is ticked on Odin.
3) Press PDA or AP and select your suitable recovery tar file. CWM or Philz recovery should be fine but avoid using the very older ones. Make sure the "reboot" checkbox is UNCHECKED because we don't want the phone reboot to system when flashing is done.
4) Press start button on Odin. Wait for awhile, then if Odin said it's all done, disconnect USB cable and reboot your phone to recovery mode (home+volume up+power). Optional but recommended, keep pressing until first Samsung logo appear, then release power button. Release two remaining buttons if recovery screen appear.
5) Assuming you're using CWM, go to "mount and storage" then choose "format /sdcard0" or "format /internal-sdcard". If prompted for file system format, choose "FAT32" if possible. If not in the list, just select "default".
6) Optional, to make sure the internal storage can be recognized by PC (Windows), still in CWM go to "mount and storage" then select "mount mass storage". Connect your phone to PC and see if Windows recognize your sdcard. If so, open properties dialog for this sdcard and check if it is formatted as FAT or FAT32. If not, right click on sdcard and choose "format". Quick format should be fine, leave all settings to its default.
7) Now, before installing the stock ROM, make sure to format phone's partitions. From CWM, select "mount and storage" then choose "format /data", "format /cache", and "format /system". Next, you may install the stock ROM or else.
It adviced to remove your external sdcard prior perform the steps above to avoid confusion and prevent your external sdcard reformatted accidentally. Also, I hope you were making backups for /efs partition.
Have a try, and good luck as you may need it! [emoji1]
