Hello everyone.
I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot into CWM and try to create a Nandroid Backup it says that it cannot mount the internal sd card. But when I go to 'install zip from sdcard' it accesses the card and its contents perfectly.
This is reversed for the EMMC. I can mount EMMC from 'Mounts and Storage' yet cannot access from 'install zip from internal sdcard'
This is annoying since I need to create a backup recovery, and then install the ROM.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
I have the same problem
Try using CWM other version

I'm probably not saying anything new to you but it seems that CWM has some trouble with our O2X's scheme for internal/external memory, because O2X uses an "internal card".
However, you can check this thread for a CWM that uses the internal memory a bit better, and maybe you can consider just using internal memory?

So it seems that after installing a custom kernel (hp) from Spica, when I boot into CWM, I can't seem to see my sd card, the external one. If I go to 'choose zip from internal card' it shows up fine, but when I go to choose zip from sd card, it says error, can't mount sd card. How do I fix this? Also, I have an update.zip file in the internal sd card that I can't seem to install, says it's aborted from emmc.
So, after i did the rooting and flashing steps, and istalling with CWM Recovery 6 a CyanogenMod 10 ROM, all goes well(the installation steps) but after rebooting when i started my phone i realize that i can see just 2 gb from 16gb internal storage, why? i mentioned that i don't have an external sd card. I've tried to mount from CWM but it's says: 'error mounting /sdcard'...i've tried to see if i can to the steps again for flashing and when i have to chose a zip file from sd card, now i can access it from internal storage card(an option below in the menu)there is the only way i can see what really in my internal storage and after i want to format sdcard it's says: 'error mounting /sdcard.android security' ....hope you understand me 'cause my enlish sucks! what should i do to view my all internal storage?
PLEASE ANSWER!
Thank you!

Did you tried to mount external sd? In some cwm versions its swapped.
Change the kernel. Flash Hydracore....

Hey guys,
Ok so i was on CM10 old bootloader, decided to make the switch to
ICS CM10 ( Pengus77 )
Used AIO tool to install new layout then flashed a new recovery CWM
I put the new ROM on external sd card then boot into recovery
Heres the problem , when in recovery E: Cant mount /sdcard/ !
I go to advanced mount /sdcard error mounting /sd card !
How can i install new ROM if i cant see any of my cards?
or cant install any ZIP's through Recovery?
When i plug my phone in PC...i can see two removable disk labeled D: & E:
but i click them : Please insert a disk into the drive...(?)
I tried everything that i know about...wich is not a lot...kind of a noob with all of this.
Any help would be gladly appreciated...kind of lost here
Cheers,
VP
In some recoveries the internal sd is marked as external and vice versa! See as you have changed your bootloader version, internal sd has been completely wiped. But i think just mount the External sd from mounts from CWM..
If you come from gb BL,
1. Nvflash stefan ics v28 and wait to fully reboot your phone
2. Open aio tool
3. Press number 4, 1 for the new ics layout, press 3 for new cwm 6
4. Copy pengus rom on external card
5. Enter cwm first try to access internal and external if this cards can access it show a message "no files found"
6. If the e: can't mount copy the sd card fix and system format ext4 then flash it
7. If you can't access both card try to reformat your system, factory reset,cache and dalvik
8. Flash sd fix and format ext4 again
9. Try to access both cards again

My note can't see the internal storage after trying to copy a file on it (which wasn't succesful). Now in PhilZ touch 4 CWM when I try 'install Zip' --> 'Choose from internal sdcard', it says 'E: can't mount /emmc/
Please help me to recover my files. Which steps I should take (otherwise then format) to recover my files and the internal storage?
Tnx
Edit: can't format emmc, can't mount it
What to do?? (
mount /emmc from mount & storage option in CWm recovery
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?
Courtney
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.
