I'm sorry to tell you, but whatever was on the SD card is lost......bummer

If you have problems with novaterm, there is a work around on page 12.
Make sure your battery is fully charged, you don't want to run out of power while running the procedure.
After you're done, re install android (gapps, moboot and cwm) using acmeinstaller3.
Good luck.

Thanks ... but do i have to use the doctor? can i just unstall n then install android again?
Or is there any other better way? By the way, webos is working fine ...
Thanks ...

You have plenty of things to try before doing what's posted above . Boot into webos, install preware, then find a program that will allow you to see the file system. At the very least at least have a look at the touchpad on windows under both webos and cm9 to see how much of the free space is used. What version of cwm are you using? What's the log say after you try and mount the system? Can you flash twrp to see if it can find the sd?

SD Card unreadable after root

I've rooted my phone and used many Cyanogen roms.. but ever since the last one (4.1.11.1) I can not read my SD card when I mount it to my PC. It says it needs formatting when it really doesn't as I'm using the phone as normal, saving pics.. backups etc.
Can anyone help me with this as there is no way I can get Cyanogen's latest mod without access to my SD Card.
Thanks!
Have you tried to access it in Ubuntu?
Also can you mount it in adb and push an update to the card?
I haven't tried either of those but I will and get back to you..
Thanks!

ClockworkMod Recovery Can't mount SDcard

For some reason it can't mount the SDcard.
What to do?
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Same thing happened to me yesterday either. I did this:
Take off the SD card
Install everthing on another disk.
Format the SD card from the hidden menu
Copy superuser to the root of SD card
Put the SD card back
Re-flash the rom
Voila! this time it could mount.
After reboot install everything back to the SD.
This is what i have done. And it worked. Needs a little work. If anyone has easier method use that if not use mine. Cheers.
Sorry I am a retard...
I accedently had the SDcard taken out.. God dammit.
How do you boot into CWM?
The my root succeeded, I guess. Since I am with a new ROM and everything.
But I need to boot into CWM and install SuperUser.
OR can you do it any other way?
I just wrote what to do.. What procedure are you exactly doing. Are you installing Huexxx's rom or just a v20x rom?
OH, didn't notice it was you Pondera
Well, I installed the v20N ^^
Just to get a soft start
"Install everthing on another disk.
Format the SD card from the hidden menu"
Easier terms?
Disk = sdcard?
What is hidden menu?
I am sorry, android rooting is hard do understand.
I am a techguy, usually, haha

Your rom is not rooted right now...
Well, SD card is the small external card you put back at the phone. Take it out. Copy everything on it into another disk (C: or D: or E anywhere you like. I mean copy the content.
Put back the SD card on the phone restart your phone. Press phone like you are about to make a call. Type 3845#*970# This is hidden menu. Here enter "Factory reset" Then press Format SD card. When it is done. Copy the superuser to SD card.
After all this start the procedure again. press volume + ..... an so on. This time in CWM mode SD card will mount. When flashing the rom is finished, after reboot. Copy the files from C: , D: or wherever you copied back to the Sd card. You are good go now.
I ma sorry if it seems complicated. I don't know how to explain different. Sorry.
Thanks, tried while waiting for response.
I managed to fix it.
I re-did everything from the start.
Installed the rom and when I got into the CWM again, I succesfully installed SuperUser
Thanks for your effort man (Y)!
I just checked out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454274
Can you do this with ROM manager?
sorry for asking so much

No problem, glad if i could help. Actually you can only do it with CWM so: Yes, you can do it with ROM Manager. I am actually leaving gotta get up early and go to work. Keep me posted if you install Huexxx.
Successfully installed Huexxx last night. Can gladly say that it increased the performance with roughly 100%! (stock-ROM Quadrant scores vs Huexxx-ROM Quadrant scores)
In general I've noticed a smoother user experience and games now run ALOT better!
Can I use this Kernel together with Huexxx ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332311
It says that it's for CM7.
If I recall correctly the Huexxx ROM is a modded stock rom?
Or am I total wrong?
Ur right and since it is NOT CM7 what's the conclusion? I doesnt work, right ;-)

Unable to Mount Internal SD

This from a real noob, but I thought I would solict some additional input if there is some trick I have missed on my problem.
Since installing CM 10 on my Vivid, everything has worked well except the fact my internal SD has gone away. Based on stuff I have read here I have tried the following:
1. Factory Reset - no help
2. Mount drive using installed recovery, CWM - No Help
3. Install TWRP recover and try that, no help
4, Try various apps from Play Store, No Help
At this point it seems best to me to return the phone to factory state and see if the internal card is there, if it is, unlock the boat loader, install TWRP recover, then flash the rom, then boot imate (s on) and hope it works.
Any app that requires root and access to all the drives errors out.
A large group thanks to all of you who post so much info on the phone, and how to do things.
I assume you've tried mounting Internal SD in the Settings/Storage menu?

Internal Mounting
Thanks for reminding me about this, but yes, I have tried it numerous times but it doesn't work. A bit frustrating since it keeps me from storing certain stuff or using some rooted apps. Unless I find some other way, I will give the restore option a try in a few days when I get home.
Appreciate the reply.

My guess... Is you did a reset from fastboot...
If that is the case... I recommend getting twrp... Installing that... Mounting both storages in recovery... Then hook to your windows PC... And let windows format your internal SD...
After a reboot... Your phone will either mount your internal... Or offer to format it again... At which point it will work...
Unless we are talking about apps2sd in CM11...

As far as I know I did not reset from fastboot, but I have been in that mode a good number of times, so it is very possible.
I replaced CWM recover with TWRP and it would not allow me to mount the internal card, but the phone booted up OK, just no internal card. So I tried another factory reset and while in TWRP I noticed I was also getting a "can't mount /emmc/" message. Phone still boots up ok and works except for apps requiring access to the internal card.
I ran across some reference to a recovery called aroma something that is supposed to help with this problem, but am not sure it will work with my phone, still researching that.
So maybe this is pretty good evidence I did screw up and reset from fastboot?
I figure I am going to have to restore the phone to factory status, and start over, but I will wait to see if there any other suggestions.
Thanks again for the feedback.

Have HP Touchpad, was at 10.1-20131207-snapshot-bluetooth and downloaded 10.2-20140421-unofficial. Booted into cyanogen mod and installed from SD card. Booted up and no can't access SD card. Cleared cache but still can't mount. Can see SD card under system, but greyed out.
What should next steps be?
Thanks, Marcus

Hi, a little bit more information would help. Exactly what moboot, recovery and which 10.2 ROM will allow more members to offer advice .
Moboot is 0.3.8, not sure the ROM, don't find that info on pad...all downloads to PC were lost as on new PC.

Sorry but if you can't say what rom or recovery you are using I really don't know how to help you. It may be best to start again using one of the guides here.

[Q] Transerring files through CRM

I currently have no rom installed due to me wiping the cache and data. I'm trying to put the cyanogenmod 11 zip on the sd card by mounting usb storage, however it doesn't allow to copy it over to the sd and just says "discovering items". Upon mounting the usb storage it recommends me to fix the device as there are some problems with files, I tried the scan and fix options but it did not help.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

On some kernels you can use connection to PC when you are in recovery, on some not. I do not know on what kernel and recovery you are now. But it seems it is not working. So solution is to do nandroid restore if you made a nandroid backup in recovery. I suppose you did not, so now your option is to flash stock JB from Download Mode with Odin, and copy ROM while you are in system. Or use some other phone and put SD card in it and copy like that.

Mmmhh ... I'm so shocked and curious. Turns, to move files in CWM could be done to the PC. Is it possible in CM11, senior? (noob quetions) Maybe one day I'll need it.
Thanks In Advance..

Some of it has, some do not. I am not sure what version has it and what do not. I remember some version, maybe CoCore opens internal and external storage on PC automatically. But I can't remember was it CoCore or some else.

Actually it's something interesting, a senior. Like when Windows95 new entry in our country. At that time the system "DOS For Windows" is still very familiar in computer lessons in our education. (Developing Countries). So we can still do "Copy" and "Paste" via diskette in the system "DOS". I think CWM is almost similar to the DOS system. I mean, CWM will be very useful if a time on the android main system can not be done. Of course may be done through CWM. cmiiw.
