[Q] [SOLVED] Flashing rom from Internal SD

Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.

recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.

I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

I was on stock froyo V10a, anyway after a couples of tries a notification that the sd card was corrupted popped and gave me the option to format it once again, this time it worked.
So solved, thanks guys.
More comments on my new little issue would be much appreciated

Turn off phone, take out sd card, put it on nd turn on phone again.
"can't mount from sd card" happened if you connected to pc with usb cable or sd isn't inserted ok!

i tried that still wont work. could it be a rewrite demon on the sd. the cwm on the cm7-2.0.7 can read my sd i dont understand why the cwm in the ics kernel cant. ive put cm9 on 3 other x8s and ive never had this problem.

turn on your phone without sdcard first..
then use card reader to check your sdcard..check the format is FAT not NTFS
put those files in your sdcard..
after that turn off your phone, and insert your sdcard and turn it on again! :laugh:

mount sd-card
ok, i think i figured this out, and i have had to register in order to share my findings. i was having the exact same problem, bootloader unlocked the kernel flashed and couldn't access the sdcard.
what i did...this worked for me with a 2gb sdcard
1. in the clockwork menu partitioned a 1024 partition and if i remember correctly the 256 swap. it takes about 1 minute dont worry if nothing seems to be happening.
2. i was then able to mount usb storage
3. passed the rom and gapps to sdcard through usb, and installed from sd no probs
4. after configuring minicm went back to try and partition the full size of the sd card but wasnt able to for some reason. maybe some light could be shed??
hope ive helped anyone and thaks to this thread.

You must install total commander from play store and you should see your sd.

Not sure if I understand correctly... Are you saying that in all ROMs you have tried so far, except CM10, you CAN'T see External SD at all? This doesn't make sense... It is all about how the storage is mounted in a particular ROM, but both Internal and External cards should be visible on the OS level (some apps may have problems accessing one or the other, but that's a different question). For example, in a stock-based ROM I am currently using the Internal SD is mounted as /sdcard, and the External SD is mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD. Other ROMs, like CM10, may have different mounts, but any file manager should give you the access to both, as long as you know where to look...

That's the way it's always been for me... I am currently using a stock-based GB ROM, and I can access both Ext and Int SD cards from the OS, from CWM recovery, and from a PC when connected by USB (yes, they show up as two separate drives).

I think you should flash stock rom via smartflash. If your problem in software you will fix it. If reflashing willn't help you have problem with hardware.

[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.

What i did because i had this error was to get an external sd card and put in while the phone was on and the tried to take a picture which it did.After i went to settings and mounted my internal sd card and it mounted.Sorry if this steps dont work again i have a diff answer on one of my other threads.I'll posted before the end of the next 24hrs.Peace mate
-[update]:"u need to edith vold.stab in system/etc and do viceversa sdcard1 and sdcard0 then reboot."Meaning change any sdcard0 to sdcard1 and any sdcard1 to sdcard0 in this file.(They are a bunch of code u can read using cmfile manager.)

=(

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.

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.

SD card not mounted

Hi there finally flashed a custom rom and got cwm working still odin doesn''t recognize my phone anywhere and now my sd card cant be mounted and i cant even format it in my pc?
Its seen as on the phone and pc but not mounted or to be fromatted
Anyone have a solution or other custom rom to flash through cwm ?

``small edit:when i put in the sd card in other phoen sgs2 then it won''t boot up?
is sd card broken maybe?
Is then only solution to replace sd card?
When i put it back in the gts5570 i it says blank or not supported sd card.
Pleas answer?

use sdcard reader or another phone to check is it broken or is formattable.
