I'm apologize to make a lot of new posts for each problems that I can't solve...and, I apologize too for my bad english
When I rooted my phone, yesterday, I had other version of CWM and that version can mount my SD...but today I've installed ROM Manager to can install costom ROMs, but the CWM that had been installed by ROM Manager can't mount my SD card...
My phone mounts the SD card...but just in CWM doesn't
I've formatted the SD card, but the problem it's still there
Can you help me guys?....
EDIT: Huh...SD card it's mounted with an older version of CWM, but not with latest
ya itz a known cwm bug...

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 will not mount /sd-ext and now I cannot get my ROM installed on to the phone.
everything inside the phone has been formated
I think the next step should be to update recovery to the latest version and see if it recognizes the sd card. If this is the case I'm not real clear how to go about doing this. , or if there is an alternative way to load a ROM.
Any help would be appreciated
As an alternative u could flash (through Odin) a Dev Kernel that has CWM baked in, reboot into CWM and flash ur Rom from there. Ur choice of Kernel is dependent on what Rom ur wanting to go to... Froyo, Gingerbread, i897, i9000, etc. [as a side note, if u want a gingerbread rom, u will need gingerbread bootloaders]
I'm not sure how to flash through Odin (ill look that up) any other recovery on my phone at this point, i've always had a rom installed any time I change or update a recovery.
Let us know how it turns out.
Why are you trying to install a Rom from the external SD card? From cwm, click on mounts and storage, mount usb, copy your Rom to the internal sd card
Sent from my Inspire 4G
can you explain with some more detail the process of coping the rom to the internal sd card? I know that cwm can recoginze the internal sd card and if I get the rom on there I'm sure I can get this phone working.

reboot to recovery
plug phone into computer
'mounts and storage'
'mount usb storage'
copy rom of your choice from your computer to the drive that now shows up on your computer
unmount
in cwm recovery, browse to INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD
point it to the rom you just copied to the internal sdcard
confirm
after flash reboot...new rom
Thanks to Pirateghost & For2ndTwin for you input. Pirate, what you suggested worked like a champ and I now have the phone working.
Hi all,
my fist post on xda and a noob as well with my first android.
I had someone do my first root and put GEOs rom, as i wanted close to stock to learn android some more, I now want to jump on your rom. the A2SD version
so I try to partition SD card for A2SD+ through clockwork.Then download your rom. By rom manager.
before flashing rom phone info shows (android version 2.3.3 GRI40) and then after flash showing (android version 2.3.3 GRI40) ?
how can my phone be the same rom version pre & post flash with out doing nand back-up?
as that must mean I must have screwed up after flash ?
do I flash this as well ? GRJ22 system dump (boot.img/system.img):
if I do do I flash rom first or system dump first ?
as well not positive when partition SD card for A2SD+ through clockwork that it did partition sd card right way?
I am noob to use ADB and prompt commands and my micro sd slot on comp is not working
is there android app to partition SD card and or check if partition worked on sd card ?
sorry for long post
can anybody help
PS I am trying to flash this rom
[ROM] [GRJ22] N1 2.3.4 OTA ROM v5 (deodex, root, zipalign, busybox, A2SD, TBAlert

If the custom ROM you flashed is base on the same Android version than it's still gonna be the same Android version.
What does the "MOD version" say?
You can partition SD card using CWM or Amon Ra recovery. This is not an app, it's your custom recovery. If I'm reading it right you already have CWM recovery.

I am on GEOs rom Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GRI40)
and i want to flash this Gingerbread 2.3.4 [GRJ22] the App2SD one from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13430563&postcount=1
I went in to recovery to CW via rom manager and then run partition tool in
recovery, but when trying to DL a APP that needs sd card to be partitioned
it fails to run. saying sd card must be partitioned first.
so I take it CWM recovery failed to partition my sd card and I cant figer out how I my rom version stayed the same after coming out of flash ? with out having to do a droid back-up if I screwed up the flah process? afrer trying to flash a 2.3.4 rom. that is App2SD supported rom.
If you were trying to flash another ROM and it fail to flash for whatever reason, than you're still running your
current ROM. That's why when you left cwm and booted up, it just went back to whatever you had already.
Basically it never got to a point of writing anything, it did some check and found you didn't have correct partition
so it probably aborted.

ok but status bar in recovery did its thing for around 5 minutes with no error message. So I take it CM recovery cannot partition SD card properly ?
is there away around it besides CW recovery and command promts via sdk on pc. like a APP?
or even a APP to check if CW is Partitioning sd card Properly ?
thanks for the help
ClockworkMod recovery should be able to partition your card without an issue. When doing it, it will wipe your card, so make sure everything is backed up. Pay attention to what is on the screen when you do this. It will show you any error messages that may occur. So, if you didn't see any error messages, your card should be partitioned. Same goes for when you flash. It should show you why it didn't flash (assuming it didn't).
You can use minitool partition wizard on your PC and it will preserve your data without wiping it out like Gparted/Unbutu.
To check your partitions download terminal from market or use adb and type
Su
Busybox df -h
It will show partitions fat, ext and swap sizes.

I had problems partitioning my SD card with CWM or rom manager... Installed Amon Ra recovery and first time I tried partitions were set
My galaxy mini got struck at "galaxy mini gt-s5570" logo that come after samsung and in not starting up:crying:. Pls help me.
These are the things i did.
1.I rooted my phone. had superuser access.
2.I installed CWM v5.0.2.7 as instructed in http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UPZey_KD_Sk
3.Then i installed a custom rom CyanogenMod 10 Nightly. version---: cm-10-20121020-UNOFFICIAL-tass.zip. as instructed in http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/09/cyanogenmod-10-20120831-nightly-major-update-of-android-4.1.1-for-galaxy-mini-pop.html#.UPZey_KD_Sk
4.Then i do a nandroid backup.Up to now my cell is good and working very well.
5.The internal memory of my cell phone is very less so I feel its good to partition my sd card.
6.I did partition as instructed in http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html#.UPZc5fKD_Sk
8.After partitioning my mobile started well but all my sd card data is gone. I had made a backup of all my data in sd card and I have nandroid backup also saved as a backup in my pc.
9.Then i flash darktremor as told by yagyagaire. My mobile rebooted twice as told by him. But in second reboot it struck at galaxy mini logo screen.
10.I remove battery and tried to power on again but same thing happened. But my CWM recovery is well and good. So i dried data wipe/reset option in the recovery and reboot, but no use.
Pls help me. I will be very gratefull for your help.
when you partition your SD card, please make sure that you have backup in computer of all your SD card data, coz new partitions are created in SD card so it's obvious that all data will be deleted once!!!
and plz don't root and install Roms from other sites (as you have mentioned) coz it's very risky.... from now onwards use only Xda
for your solution,
download any Rom from computer, put it in your SD card using any card reader!! then put it in phone, go to recovery, do data and cache wipe, go to mounts and storage, do format data and system, than go to install zip from SD card, choose that downloaded Rom and install, than reboot!!!
it will be fixed

@op
flash the rom again and after that try link2sd
you can copy a rom to your sdcard through mount sdcard option available in CWM recovery

it is not and outside website it is a tutorial blog written by a xda member "yagya"

You don't have to change any default settings in mount storage in cwm. It'll not change any performance lag.
Get rid of the lag by a clean and proper flashing.
If you are using cwm5.5.0.4 you cannot install zip from ext sd card. Try a newer version of cwm for that.

You said your ext sd card is not recognizing in your laptop.? Then change it.
If you have a Rom file already in internal sd card, flash it properly. Do a full data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Then flash the zip, flash gapps.

One alternative if you don't have a file in internal sd card and you can't get an ext sd card at the moment, try push the ROM file via adb.
