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.

Do you mean external sd card or internal SD card if you have a external sd card pop it out of your phone and use an SD card adapter on a pc and place the ROM and appropriate gapps on it

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

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

I rooted my Motorola Triumph and did a LOT of customization to it and ended up needing to go ahead and put the stock ROM back on it. Somehow in doing this, my phone isn't working and I'm not sure what to do at this point. I got almost to where I was going to recover and restart, but I got this code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I downloaded Eclipse and got everything I need (I think..) including SDK and ADB stuff
I tried mounting my phone to my computer via the CWM boot menu, but that isn't working and I'm just not sure where to go from here...
HELP PLEASE!?
1. Place the rom on your SD card via the card reader on your PC
2. Re-insert it in the device
3. Boot into recovery
4. Do a full wipe of data and cache
5. Flash.
Is there another option if I don't have a card reader?

You have to be able to place the rom on your SD card. You could place the SD card in another device to transfer it from your PC then re-insert it in your phone (just use any way you possible to place the rom on the SD card).
I used ODIN to get CWM on the phone, and when i boot into CWM i tried to install the root .zip file but it always says it can not mount SD card. any suggestions on how to resolve? No issues with the SD card when trying to access it from within the OS or through windows when connected to the pc.
you can try to reformat it via a pc, but your best bet is to replace it with a class 6 or higher unit.
I will give that a try when I get home. Thanks
I had an issue awhile back where I couldn't mount the SD in recovery unless I booted from power off (not reboot).
I ended up using my sd card from my droid x2. It worked fine with that one. Thanks for the suggestion. Once I got root I just put my original card back in since it works fine from within the os.
HI folks,
Total newbie here looking for advice. With the excellent instructions on the site, I was able to quickly and easily burn CM7 to a class 4 SD card and boot my 16 gb nook table w/ no problem. I love CM7 and it blows away the Nook OS and the absurd limitations B&N has placed on the tablet.
Here's the question: I now want to open up additional storage and want to know if it is worth rooting the Nook internally?
I also wonder if it would run a little faster vs. running from the SD card?
I see no reason to ever go back to the B&N environment. On other hand, don't want to accidentally brick it in the process when it is running fine from the card.
If I choose to go with internal root, I am also bit confused on the best (most sound) way to go ahead and load CM7 internally, given that it is running now from the card. Do I just move it over or do I have to do something with CWM?
Thanks!
David
Easiest way to get a rom on the internal:
1. Make a bootable clockworkmod sd card (similar to your CM7 card, but this card will allow you to boot into a custom recovery).
2. Transfer desired rom (zip file) to local memory of the nook.
3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery via the card.
4. Make a backup of the current rom.
5. Install zip from sd -> choose the zip file you placed on the local memory.
6. Wipe data/cache.
7. Reboot into your new internal rom. If you would like, you can use indirect's app to flash clockworkmod to the internal memory and then format the bootable sdcard so you can use it as media storage.
If you ever need to return to stock, you can simply restore your backup via recovery.
Thank you very much!
That helps. I guess I am still trying to decide if it is worth doing that.
Will I have memory free on the device that I do not now and will it run any more efficiently or faster (vs. running off the SD card)?
Thanks again.
I think you'll have full access but it won't be mounted when you plug it into a PC.
If you want it to be mounted, you'll need to repartition. There is a guide for that or you can go to B&N and have them do it. Though, the B&N repartition is only half and half; doing it on your own you can get a lot more.
This is only for CM7 based roms though. CM9 does not have the internal memory mounting yet (I'm sure eventually it will).

Hmmm I need to search for a guide to mount the internal memory again.
I have done what the OP is thinking about doing on my Nook Tablet 16gb.
It works flawlessly but I don't see the internal memory when hooking the nook up to a PC. I just get an exclamation mark in my device manager. I can browse the internal memory through cm7, and it shows that I have nearly 12 gigs of free space on the device itself, but I cannot drop content from my pc on there.

Try modifying your build.prop file as shown in this post

I got an error msg (Unable to mount "/bootdata") when performing 4. What did I do wrong? I use TWRP to backup the ROM on bootable SD Card.

If you are trying to backup stock ROM and then install CM internally on emmc, I'd suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871 for info/pointers.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Can anybody help me with this?? (apologies - I first posted thisin the 'General' forum and then realised it should have been put into the Q&A section)
ClockworkMod Recovery (v6.0.1.0) will not mount my SD card (SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra Card) and posts "Error mounting /external_sd!"
I have successfully rooted my phone (GT-I9300 running the stock I9300XXBLFB at present) by following the various threads on XDA.
I formatted the sandisk SD card by using the S3's menu>settings>storage>format SD Card. The card is then visible when I run the the "My Files" app, showing both the internal /mnt sdcard and my new /mnt extSdCard which shows a total of 59.47GB space.
I subsequently installed the 'ROM Manager Premium v5.0.0.8" app from the Play Store and then flashed "ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.1".
My problem is that when I run ClockworkMod Recovery and select 'Recovery Mode' - 'mounts and storage'/'mount /external_sd' the app wont mount the SD card stating "Error mount /external_sd"
What am I doing wrong. I have searched the forum for similar problems but have drawn a blank unfortunately. Is it a known issue with the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra Card?
I am confused because the "My Files' app can see the card but the ClockworkMod Recovery app cannot.
I am trying to mount the external SD card so that my PC can recognise it and transfer some new downloaded ROMs to it.
A related (or maybe not) issue is that when I open the CWM Manager app it shows the following warning "this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM .1.1 or newer. It appears that you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."
Help!!!!! Although I registered on XDA in 2006 I have been in the Android wilderness for several years having 'jumped ship' to the iPhone before returning back to the Android fold.
Unfortunately my knowledge isnt what it once was and I need a helping hand.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this.

Recovery - ClockWorkMod (CWM)
A custom CWM 5.5 build is included in CF-Root, taken from this thread. This provides for the ability to install custom ROMs, and do nandroid (full device) backups and restores. Now also support OTA updates, but an OTA update itself will probably remove CWM, so you need re-flash CF-Root after OTA.
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead (installed by CF-Root automatically)
Util - CWM Manager
My management application for CWM is also installed, see the recovery thread linked above for further details. It allows you to command CWM (install a ROM, make/restore backups, etc) from normally booted Android.
1st of all the cwm version your using is flakey at best with extsdcard support its something that has only been introduced in version 6.0.1.0 and seems to be still giving bother. If you want extsdcard support I would recommend chainfires version which is non touch but vgood extsdcard support.(find it in original android development)
Secondly cwm manager is the app to use with chainfires cwm versions not the other cwm versions flying around.

Thanks for the helping hand JJEgan .. very much appreciated. I am finding the learning curve for Android a bit steep at the mo because of my time spend throwing money at Apple!!
For anyone else who has a similar problem to mine then follow JJEgans link above, download "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" to your PC then follow these instructions
* Your phone should not be connected to your PC yet
* Start up Odin3 v1.85
* Click the PDA button, which is located under the Bootloader button
* This opens up a box, all you need to do is locate and select the "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" file
* Turn your phone OFF
* Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, it will ask you to cancel or continue ... press the Vol Up button to continue
* This will put the phone in 'download mode' it should say downloading...
* Connect your phone to your PC
* Make sure the Repartition is NOT checked (by default it should not be anyway)
* Click START
This worked for me and meant that I now have CWM Manager v3.60 running without the warning "this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM .1.1 or newer. It appears that you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."

5.5.4.8 Touch works ok, dunno about mounting external, though. The none-touch that comes with CF-CWM works ok.
One question : Why you terribly require to mount the SD card from Clockworkmode??? since you have other options to tranfer your files to SD card.
I dont think you can mount even on the Cainfire's CWM, since SGS3 is not supporting to mount SD cards as mass storrage even booted condition.
Thanks SwiftSmoke, Kryten2k35 & ZACQ8 for the help!! much appreciated!!!
I have gotten myself terribly confused with all this although the 'mist' is now starting to lift a wee bit now
I have the premium version of the following CF apps - Rom Manager (CW Manager v3.60); Mobile Odin Pro v3.0; Triangle Away v1.70 and ROM Manager Premium v5.5.58 (CWM 6.0.1.0)
I have 'rooted' my mobile and successfully run 'Triangle Away'.
All my problems began when I tried to change my mobile from 'stock' ROM to a Cyanogen ROM (I downloaded a stable v9 Cyanogen ROM and placed it onto the root of my external SD card. All my problems then began when I rebooted CWM v3.60 into Clockwork Recovery mode to find out that it would not recognise my SD card).
I have now successfully applied CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip.
Question: what is the simplist way to flash to Cyanogen from here? Can I download a ROM and simply use Mobile Odin from now on?
Thanks again for your patience .. I joined XDA way back in 2006 so im disappointed my skills are not up to much at the moment (like many many others I got seduced by the Big Apple!!)
Bob
dont use ROM Manager anymore with this CWM (CF)
use Vol-up+Home+power to enter CWM
you should be able to see now external SD, choose your CM9 zip file from
'install zip from SD card' / 'choose zip from SD card' then, you will find the zip,
if not your SD card is not supported, reeboot and place the zip on the internel SD card through MTP
then select the zip from "choose zip from internel SD card"
dont forget to do the other steps (wiping cache. dalvik etc.. as per the ROM thread instruction)
Thanks ZACQ8 - that is exactly the advice I need
I'll post back later as to how I get on so that anybody else with my problem can follow this through.
Bob
All sorted!
I have now got my mobile running CM9.0 RC2
What I didn't realise was that you can access both your internal and external SD card via the Kies app (it works on both OS X and Windows PC when connected by USB cable).
During the reboot my mobile automatically detected that I am on a UK/O2 sim (I wasnt too sure if it would and was initially put off changing the stock ROM thinking it would cause problems - it didnt and hasnt!!)
Thanks to all who helped!!

Any idea why that is? I'd like to use my sdcard the same way as any htc did, using TotalCommander and seeing it as an external drive. I had all sorts of backup and sync-scripts working with my htc, now they are all useless, because of this stupid restriction.
I guess I'll wait for someone to crack through this silly wall created by Samsung.

Lots of technical reasons. With a running phone you can use the APK 'Easy UMS' to mount the sdcard as mass-storage anyway.
You _should_ be able to run the commands manually through adb in CWM.

So it appears the problem is ExtFat is the problem...is there a way to format a 64GB card with FAT32? from what I have read on other threads using windows or the phone itself will use the EXTFat format.

**UPDATE 2** found another XDA thread with the fix found here:

I tried the Fat32 format and I was able to format the SanDisk Mini SD 64gb to Fat33; however, CWM still won't recognize the ext SD. Were you successful in any way? I May just downgrade from 6.0.2.3 to the 5's as mentioned in another thread, but I have to refind it. I'll update once I confirm that the ext SD will in fact in CWM.

Thanks for the helping hand JJEgan .. very much appreciated. I am finding the learning curve for Android a bit steep at the mo because of my time spend throwing money at Apple!!
For anyone else who has a similar problem to mine then follow JJEgans link above, download "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" to your PC then follow these instructions
* Your phone should not be connected to your PC yet
* Start up Odin3 v1.85
* Click the PDA button, which is located under the Bootloader button
* This opens up a box, all you need to do is locate and select the "CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip" file
* Turn your phone OFF
* Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, it will ask you to cancel or continue ... press the Vol Up button to continue
* This will put the phone in 'download mode' it should say downloading...
* Connect your phone to your PC
* Make sure the Repartition is NOT checked (by default it should not be anyway)
* Click START
This worked for me and meant that I now have CWM Manager v3.60 running without the warning "this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM .1.1 or newer. It appears that you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."

I just found out I have the same problem. I am about to follow these steps but apparently it's inside the S3 thread.
Can I use this method for my Note 2 N7105?
I had the same problem on my Note II N7105 with ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 and a 64GB SanDisk.
I backed up my SD card, then used this tool to format it to FAT32 on my Win7 Laptop: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/ind...at32format.htm
After that I copied everything back. Works perfectly now. Thanks Rafi_ for pointing me in the right direction.
I've got SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC formatted FAT32 with 32K cluster size and CWM 6.0.3.2 can't mount it. Installed PhilZ Touch 5, which is also based on CWM 6.0.3.2 and same issue.
Also can't read the contents in SlimBean or LiquidSmooth. It works fine in FoxHound, OmegaROM and Sotmax. My 8GB microSD works fine everywhere.
Any ideas why I'm not having the luck with this 64GB card with FAT32 format and 32K cluster size?
