I read ur forum on partitioning SD card for app2sd n I seem to be having a similar problem. I recently flashed amon ra 1.6.2 thru clockwork mod on my HTC hero...I was trying to install a custom Rom cm 6.2 stable. I booted into recovery n did a nand backup n it worked fine. But when I chose the option to install zip from SD card it said no zip found. That was after I did a complete wipe of the system data. And as I tried to restore the nand backup I get n error message saying the directory cannot be found. So now I'm completely stuck. I was wondering wat I can do at this point. I was reading about partitioning the SD card n I was thinking I should try ur suggestion...I already tried rebooting several times n still the same problem. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Re-partition SD card = wipe all data off card. Sounds like you wiped your card of the back-up image as well as the .zip file for the ROM. Is that what you did?
Do you have an external card reader? Is there a .zip file on the card?

Hello All,
I've been trying to back up my ROM using CWM but it always stopped with display like this:
CWM v 5.0.2.7
Waiting for SD card to mount (20s)
SD card mounted...
Verifying SD card marker...
SD card marker not found...
Checking internal SD card marker...
/temp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to report the issue
May i know why is this happening? I used to be able to back up easily before, and the last thing i did was flashing (full-wipe) Chracks ROM then flashing file ICS+Domination_v1.1+Galaxy+Note+UNIVERSAL.zip for the theme here.
Any advise would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

are you using CW touch recovery?
it seems that the CW touch recovery isn't compatible with CWM from chainfire
i flash the Redpill touch recovery kernel, problem gone.
Thanks for your input pal, really appreciate it here
Yeah it was quite frustating, anyway once i flashed back Chracks ROM v14 + Jkay 13.6.1 and back up using same method, everything turns normal again.
Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,
after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.
The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.
When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.
Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.
Also i can Copy and paste like normal.
When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.
Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...
Does someone know what this could be?
Thnx in advance,
Henk
what sd card do you have? did you try format it?
It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.
I install the roms via this sdcard.
I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.
there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.
In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.
I checked mini cm shakira,
herodroid
gx stock
prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.
Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.
(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )
In''storage settings it always say:
-total space
unavailable
-Available space
unavailable
-mount Sd card
Insert a sd card for mounting
-erase Sd card
erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.
(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)
I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.
It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.
(Both in windows7 and windows xp)
Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.
(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,
since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.
All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.
With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',
which is my sd card.
After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.
Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.
Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?
I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.
you're using 2nd ext partition?
if yes, trying to solve it and boot via cwm and format it using partition sdcard (advance > partition sdcard) you need to backup your data first
if not using 2nd ext partition, try format using this http://hard-disk-low-level-format-tool.software.informer.com/ but i'm not test it yet
maybe u must check and repair your sdcard
1. try with another sdcard
2. make sure if your sdcard format is FAT
or
3. backup your sdcard data to your pc, then format it!
it must be work
Your idea doesnt work

Maybe the ROM doesnt have the necessary drivers. Any idea on how to install them?
Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with froyopro's disk checker.(same file in froyopro rom)
Yes,this is the file which scan & fix ur sdcard For errors in startup.
This must help u.

CWM Recovery won't read my SD card. I've wiped factory data, but can't install the new ROM because it won't read the card. The files are zipped, the SD card is in the slot, and the files are on the EXTERNAL card, not internal. Any work arounds? I need help, since I'm now out a phone until this is resolved.

What is "apply sdcard:update.zip"? Do I need to run this first?

When to "- mounts and storage", clicked on "mount /sd-ext." I got an "Error mounting SDEXT:!

What rom are you on now? Does the version of cwm your using have the option to install zip from ext sd? If not I don't think you can. Put the zip on the internal sd by plugging into a pc that has the captivate drivers installed and from recovery go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb. that should allow you move the zip onto the internal sd.
You don't need to use update zip.....you will always get that error trying to mount ext sd from mounts and storage. I always have anyway, not an issue.
Edit: just tried and I can mount ext sd, but I remember I couldn't in the past, so knowing your rom/kernel would help. There are multiple threads on how to flash roms and I'm betting one of those, especially one for the rom/kernel you have, and want to flash, could explain in better detail than I can how to successfully flash.

Wiping and factory reset shouldn't mean your phone is dead. You should be able to boot the phone into normal operation, then copy the zip from your external storage to internal, if mounting in recovery is a problem.
Did you uninstall ROM manager as I suggested in your other thread? It just doesn't work well on Captivate and you can see threads here where people get into trouble with it.
If you are stuck with CWM recovery and cannot boot normally - then read on
It's not SD-ext. Which mounts are listed in the CWM mount menu on yours?
Depending on where you are in the upgrade process, it might differ.
What version of CWM recovery are you running - it is on the first screen you see.
You may see USB storage, which refers to your internal 'SD Card' and you may also see emmc which may refer to your external SD card, the one in the slot on the back, above the battery.

Here's the update:
I used the USB connection this morning, and I was able to complete the flash process. Everything went well, other than the phone will not recognize my SIM car. It also reboots every 5 minutes, so I guess I have a few bugs to work out. I'll start searching these issues.

Hi everybody!
Yesterday I wanted to flash a rom via recovery but the flashing got stuck at "opening update package" and then CWM said: error opening rom.zip (bad).
So I did a quick search in the web and I've read that my sd card should be formatted in fat32. My sd card was formatted in exfat and it was partitioned so that could have been the problem. So I formatted it in fat32 (only 1 partition) and everything worked again.
What was the problem? Exfat filesystem or partitioned SD card?
Thank you!
No the error you have can also indicate a corrupt zip file. No need to perform alot of hard things just redownload the rom and try again

I think it wasn' t the rom, I have saved it on my pc, then formatted the sd card to fat32, copied the same rom installer and it worked. Without redownloading.
