[Q] SD card wont mount in cmw recovery

The sd card has never given me an issue, I can always make changes to it and the phone reads it fine. But when I go to recovery mode to flash a rom it gives me an error that it can't mount the sd card. I've already rebooted the phone, took the card out and still the same. Any opinions? Do I have to format the card or something? I really want to avoid that

A noble request. I, too, would like the solution to this if there is one. The specific error I receive is "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Thank you.

I had same/similar problem and had to format the card in the phone not in a computer. Would not convert to ext4. Back up your card, format, and install CWM. Transfer back your folders. Worked for me..

What he said.
Sounds like your cards have became corrupted. Just back up what you want to save to your pc. Format the sd card using cwm.

I guess I was misreading the post.
I thought you were saying that when you attempted to Mount your SD card you received an error as I did. I had no problems converting to ext4 and installing ROMs, my error only occurs when I attempt to use the Mount SDCard function.

Thanks for that. I wasn't actively looking for the solution as it really didn't bother me that much and just opportunistically jumped at this thread when I saw it.
My apologies.

If you have cwm then.boot onto cwm using the three finger method. If you use an app or adb then you will get that message due.to the redirector.

I tried that, but when I boot using the three finger method, it boots unto cmw 2.5.xxx (I can't remember) then I have to reebot using the advance option to get to the new cmw. And still it won't mount.

Download the rom on your pc, connect the phone to the c via usb cable, on the phone select mount as disk drive, it'll pop up on your pc, drag it over, unmount / disconnect, reboot into recovery, do all the wipes I listed previously [dalvik cache is located under advanced] then install zip > select and flash, reboot.

my computer isent showing my device is it maybe because htc sync?

Did you mount as Usb mass storage in clockworkmod?

[Q] Use clockwork with no .zip on sdcard

I am trying to update my gnex to jellybean and in the process of doing so i forgot to put the .zip files on the sdcard. I have a functional cwm in recovery mode but have no files to install. Is my device done since i have no sd card slot or is there a way to transfer the files to the phones internal storage. My pc wont see the phone as an adb but will as a fastboot device. Any suggestions? Please help!

You need to make sure your drivers are set up properly for ADB. Do this by being booted in CWM, and install them on the "Android 1.0" that pops up in Deveice Manager. (Use 1wayjonny's universal driver in the dev section.) Once that is done, move the zip over to you sdcard by typing: adb push <name-of-file>.zip /sdcard

If you have adb setup.
Go into mounts and storage and Mount /data
Then
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media
Then unmount /data and you should now see the rom you forgot to put on the phone.

In Cwm try going to mounts and storage > mount usb storage and connect to your pc then transfer the file over.
Maybe that'll work?

[Q] Retrieving files from "damaged" SD card after flashing CM10

I fllashed CM10 M2 on my S3 and got the error that the external SD card is damaged. After reading some threads here I found that CM doesn't handle the exFAT format so I restored stock image from backup expecting to be able to access files on the external card. However, I'm still getting the bad SD card error. I found this thread that mentions the same issue that I'm having but the solution proposed there didn't work for me. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.2 and when I connect through ADB when in recovery, I don't see the contents of the external card. Mounting sdcard from CWM mounts /sdcard but that is the internal storage which is not what I want. I also tried connecting the card to my laptop running XP using a micro-SD card reader and running chkdsk but that reported the disk as a RAW partition. Any ideas on what else I can do to copy files off of the card?

Plug it into the computer and run a recovery software. There's tons of free ones.

Exfat should be readable by cm10. I would try in a Linux os to retrieve your data. Or the recovery method as mentioned above.

I have the same problem how can i backup my files ftrom ex_sd befor do format
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

You'll have to copy to the computer. Use an adaper to plug into a usb port. Or if you can see the files on your phone copy to computer via usb cable or wireless file utility.
If I'm not mistaken, exFat is only supported in our stock kernels which is why you can't read it in cm or aokp. I've also had problems seeing it in cwm and twrp recoveries, but I can't remember if I had a stock kernel at the time.

How are you seeing the files from CWM? Do you connect through ADB to browse the files?

Try sgs3 easy ums app. I think its on the market but you can search for it here in xda as well.
Or as I said before you can try a wireless transfer utility from the market.
Otherwise take the sdcard out if the phone and plug it directly into your computer via an adapter.

this happened to me last week actually. When I went to settings/storage it only showed up the app storage and not the internal storage.
What I did was a bit extreme and scary, since I only just started flashing roms 2 weeks ago. I did a factory reset and wiped EVERYTHING in recovery including the sdcard and system, then I used an all-in-one toolkit to push the boot image and the rom through adb sideload. I used the following excellent post and flashed twrp recovery, as clockworkmod doesn't support adb sideload, apparently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Maybe as a last resort you could do it, it worked for me. but I would wait a day or two to see if someone with a bit more knowledge can suggest anything.

Thank you for you help i can see sd storage the seetings>apps but it only says 468mb is there anything else i do or will have have to wipe and start again??

That 468MB is your app storage partition... (apk)

Mount your usb storage from a custom recovery and backup the whole SD on your pc, then boot into the rom and mount the SD on your PC then restore all the files.
Or simply, move all SD content into the "0" folder or whatever its called in your rom.

How did you sideload the boot.img?
AFAIK you're only able to sideload a .zip-file.

Didn't word that correctly, the toolkit flashed the boot image in fastboot and then pushed the rom through sideload. I don't use toolkits now though, find it much easier using fastboot and adb commands
