[Q] Can't mount SDCARD in recovery - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I have recently just unlocked my bootloder and i am trying to flash SETweaked through recovery. I installed Blend kernel v2 and then booted into recovery but it won't let me do anything because it says that it can't mount my sdcard. I also booted into CWM_for_Arc.img, but still the same problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
cheers guys

kormatoes you legend!!!!!
Did what you said and all is working perfectly, thank you very much. This is now solved but may help someone else in the future.

just download and use SDFormatter 3.0 to format your SD card
it works for me ...
if not , you must use Flash Tool to Flash Kernel & Offical Rom too

So you just need to format the SD card into FAT32? wouldn't all the files inside be lost?

Need a bit more info mate, do you mean CWM recovery or stock recovery? Also are you using a custom Kernel like Merruk? Which ROM are you trying to install? Tell us and we can help you

Corrupter internal memory

Hi friends,
As you may know the build 2 of CM9 from our lord Arco sometimes mount the internal memory instead of the sdcard when the usb cable is connected.
Well, my problem is that I was formating it thinking it was my sdcard... the problem is that I have removed the cable in the middle of the format process. Now I'm not able to mount this partition.
How can I fix this issue?

As a basic solution:
A:
Can you still use CWM?
B:
Can you still boot into download mode and flash stock ROM? If yes, do so, flash CWM using ODIN and then flash CM9 again. (If no....... ask other members and see if they can help.)

As already mentioned:
1. Do all the backups you can make of your files.
2. Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery if you have not only done so(I guess you did )
3. Open ClockWorkMod Recovery:
I am not sure whether the memory swap in CM9 effects the management of the memory in CWM, but this is how it normally defined:
internal SD: mounts and storage-> format/sdcard ->confirm
external SD: mounts and storage-> format/emmc -> confirm
But I guess it does not make a difference for you, because you want to format both "sd cards" anyway.

[Q] Internal SD Problem, help please!

Hi all, i've a BIG problem.
Today, before installing ARHD 6.1.1 i've wiped all with SuperWipe and i format internal sd card with SDFormatter.
Now pc see internal sd with all file tranfered but recovery can't mount sdcard with this error:
E: can't mount /sdcard
I can't mount via adb also
so i can't flash rom or switch on my phone!!
Can you help me, please?
flash the new recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Also did you have enterprise mail on your phone. If so, your phone SD will be encrypted. So you may have to format SD in recovery.
I've last recovery yet and i've trouble formatting sdcard via recovery:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
skipping format...
Done.

Try to format with pc again and without sdformatter (fat32, 32 klusters). When I format with sdformatter, phone says wrong SD format.

Did you try and format it as fat 32? and 32 k clusters?
Also what happens if you try and flash a stock Ruu onto it, that would probably tell the phone to reformat it.
I've formatted by PC in Recovery 5.8.4.0 after USB Mounting
The problem persists
I can't install RUU 'cause my HBOOT is 0.94 for 1.28.166.xx

If you're talking about flashing .zip's in Recovery mode, you just use the "Install zip from sdcard" option instead of the "Apply update from sdcard" option to flash your update files.
As for the sdcard mount problem;
What exact model is your defy?
Can you mount the SD card from the launcher via; Root Browser or ROM Toolbox?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when the phone is at the Launcher?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when your phone is in Bootloader mode?
I think I had this problem a while ago but a Quarx nightly update fixed it...

[Q] HOX - SDCard Can't be mounted issue again.

Hi guys, I was trying to partitionate my sdcard to get a bigger /data space.
After a try, I decided to get me Sdcard back to previous state...
0.mounted usb to my pc.
1. formatted in fat32 format, as primary type with "minitool partition wizard ..."
3. umount and restart the phone, surprised my partition cannot be mounted yet and it's not recognized on my system.
So... Here comes the dispair... I erased all my phone stuff, format and delete all sort of things but /sdcard cannot be mounted...
After that I'm charging the phone right now on recovery mode, later I'm gonna try to install Ruu but I don't have the latest, only the previous... Is that any problem??
Tks guys!!
