Roms on my external micro sd!!!!

Everytime i put a rom on my micro sd card and go into ClockworkMod Recovery i can never see it but if i put the rom on my phone memory i can see it!!!!!!
Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks mimic
If you should install roms with cwm, the zip has to be stored in internal sd card.

Strange Sd card problem

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.

[support discontinued/rom still active]How to get CM10.1 Working on LG 2x su660 100%

Experience CM10 like never before!!
Assuming u have the LG and Apx drivers installed then proceed with the installation.If not back off!!
I had only the stock froyo rom and i had found installing other roms kind of a pain i wanted the ultimate quick experience to crown this device with a great retirement(adding jellybean to it). Lets get started.
Downloads:
-Cwm special installation file. (u need external sd card for cwm to work)
-My Patched CM10.1 aka 4.2.2-
-gapps
What u need to to:
-put ur device in apx mode.(remove battery, then hold vol +&- for 4 secs then connect usb and dont let go until u notice device is linked to pc)
-go to cwm and run flash.bat.Wait till everything is done and it tells u "press any key to continue..."
-On reboot u should be stuck on CWM no matter what u do.
-Now move to mount and storage and mount usb storage.
-Transfer my patched file and gapps to ur device.
-Then install zip from sd card and then install my file and reboot.
-Boot should take abit long but it eventually boots and works flawlessly.
Issues:
- u need an sd card for cwm & rom to work very well or else ur phone wont be able to read ur memory and so wont store anything.
-After installation the internal SD card wont work so go into recovery and flash this file.(u need an external sd card as this will swap your external and internal storage)fixed with this
-The method above is usually reverted and as of now i've found now way to keep it stable to use external memory!!
-During call hang-up doesn't work.Go to accessibility in settings and choose "power button ends call" & "home button answers call" for the workaround to this.

is this is the right step???/
1.) put my android su660 on
2.) go to camera pretending you have to take a picture (i see the word telling no internal sdcard)
3.) after that put my external sdcard on while on camera mode then
4.) then go to setting/storage click mount
i did that procedure but i still getting an error no luck on mounting my internal sd card..

I changed sdcard0 to sdcard1 and any sdcard1 to sdcard0 in this file, but Now the external memory is detected as internal, and the internal is not detected.
How can I do?

Then just undo what u did by reversing what u changed.If internal storage doesnt work then cm10 doesnt work with ur internal storage so get an external one.(way cheaper than getting a new device):angel:Normally my tips in previous post should help.
hi, the changing of sdcard0 to sdcard1 worked for me but same as others my internal storage is not being detected funny i also tried to reverse but no good, good thing i have extra sd card lolx too bad we won't be able to use the 16gb internal storage... if there is any news for this please share thanks!
edit for follow-up: i tried to reinstall the rom you created but this time this is what i did,
1. put phone to apx then flash.bat
2. put phone to CWM mode
3. mount sd card
4. my computer detected the external sd card and the internal but it says format so i did format the internal
5. installed the rom and then gapps then when i try to mount emmc on CWM this time its working hehe
6. reboot phone then i checked the storage BOOM! there it is! internal and external detected! then only problem i have now is the camera app is missing lolx any help???

those are some known bugs and im not sure their fixes are out yet.But audio on calls works for me though!!
If you are rooted, just use Clocksync. It will automatically sync the time and date for you, so no more going back to 2007
hi there!
I managed to flashed CM10 with CWM 5.0.2.8e recovery. Problem is rom can't mount internal & external sdcards. while I can manually mount the internal sdcard in cwm to copy files, external is no way to be found in cwm. I already posted a reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772 but seems wkpark is such a busy person. Also flashed those 2 patch zip files (su660-emmc-fixer-default & switched) but to no avail.
Hope you can give me light on this. I love having JB on this phone (SU660). Just aching on this in/ex sdcards mounting problem.

Anyone have a solution or other custom rom to flash through cwm ?

please help to load a cooked rom in a i9000.. we

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi all,i read a lot in these forums about the procedure to put a cooked rom in a samsung i9000,so the exact work that i did was:
1) root the i9000
2) from the market i bought rom manager premium 5.5.2.3
3)installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0
4)holded vol up + home button + power on and booted in clockworkmod mode
5) i looked for the cooked rom i put on the external sd drive....
.....BUT when i look for it the phone doesnt see the external sd so im stuck here i cant load the cooked rom cause i cant see the external sd,perhaps i dont follow all the steps?????
please give me some help here im stuck since 4 days now!
P.S: the sd card works fine,im sure about it and the firmware version of the phone is 2.2.1 file is I9000XXJVE
thanks a lot
recovery mode
connect to pc
mount "internal sd" as usb storage
copy rom/zip/files
you cant install a rom from external sd on cwm 3.x or below so dowload this
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ndlAeElddhbDRmb0JvWTNmRlk/edit?usp=drive_web
extract it on internal sd then go to install zip from sd card aroma fm/ tmp/and theres a zip install the zip and it will open a file manager and then copy ur rom from externel to internel enjoy!!! also u cant install cwm from rom manager on our phone due to the recovery layout...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
thanks guys but i dont follow your help!
i downloaded aroma.zip installed in the internal memory of the phone launched it from the recovery menu but this sw is all mess up and i cant work with it!
i would like to know if i can install cooked rom from the internal memory of the phone,i guess not cause if i do so the phone will just hang up cause i can share the rom and the installation space right?
since im quite sure i cant use the internal memory of the phone i can only use the external sd card to install the cooked rom but it looks like u are telling me that i have no hopes to use the external sd card to install the rom so....what am i supposed to do?i cant use the internal memory,i cant use the external sd card so....what am i supposed to use???????????????????????????
thanks again!
I am not even sure why you made the assumption that you can't use the internal memory in the first place. The internal SD as it is sometimes referred to is separate from the OS. Case in point, factory restoring your phone will not wipe your internal memory.
So just use the internal memory.
