[Q] Cant see Internal storage card in recovery - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I want to flash the GT-N7000 of a friend of mine but here 's the thing.
I got all i need (raw kernel, philz cwm, rom, gapps etc)
when i boot into stock recovery i can select install from external storage. That gives me the message: failed to mount.
We looked into the phone and tadaa there was no SD Card.
My question is: is it possible to mount / install zip files from internal card? I can access the card trough USB cabel on my pc. I copied all the zip files there but i cant acces it trough the stock samsung recovery.
I hope u guys can help

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

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

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.

[Q] help please P1010

I installed cwm 5.0.2.7 via odin 1.6, now it is telling me that error 7 basically telling me it is not the right rom for my device. I double checked and it is. I found a work around erase the get asset portion in the script. The issue is now the file is on the internal sd card, and I can't access it and cwm won't mount my external sd card, to put a modified rom on there. I can't boot into download mode as it just keep putting me back into the cwm recovery screen. Is there a way to access the internal sd card, mount it with a usb cable in recovery mode, or is there a different way to put it in download mode, and download a different rom on to the internal sd card. This is my nephews tablet, and he will be devastated if I can't fix it.
I don't own a P1010
but I think you better restock and follow what is done in this thread:

[Q] Cannot flash zips from self-compiled ClockworkMod

I compiled ClockworkMod myself and flashed it to my P970 running CyanogenMod, but now I can't flash zips. When I try to mount the sdcard, I receive an error: "E: cannot mount /sdcard". This device's storage is of course located in /storage/sdcard0, so I suspect that might be the problem.
I don't think that this is the problem. Try to clean sdcard then reboot in recovery. If it doesn't mount, share your recovery with me, I will test if it works
I formatted the SD card from inside CyanogenMod, but now I can't mount it at all. If I choose "Mount SD card" in the settings, it briefly flashes the stuff on the card, and then says "Safe to remove SD card". I performed a factory reset, but it still doesn't work.
What version have you compiled?
//Edit
I remember that to get a fully working recovery for our device you need to edit some files in the device tree, maybe you need to edit some .fstab files or BoardConfig.mk, Evisceration has already compiled cwm for p970, you could ask him for help.
//Edit2
To edit .fstab files (maybe you should edit recovery.fstab) look at gingerbread's device tree.

6.0.3.6, but that doesn't solve the problem with the SD card, which I now can't mount at all. I tried plugging in the USB cable but my computer can't see the card. I may just have to buy an adapter from PC to SD. This thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/55182/cannot-mount-sd-card-with-error-sd-card-safe-to-remove says to format it with a PC, but that's for a different device.

Do you mean that you can't mount it even when you're running Cyanogenmod?
Yes. After I formatted the SD card, I can't mount it even in CyanogenMod. In the settings, I select "mount SD card", but it doesn't mount, and I get a notification "Safe to remove SD card".
It could also be a hardware problem, just to be sure send me your recovery or post your sources.
//Edit
I have compiled cwm 6.0.4.6 using 4.3 device tree and everything works good.

EDIT:
So, the good news is I solved the main problem. I changed the file "recovery.fstab" to have the other possible partition for the SD card, recompiled, and flashed. Lo and behold, it worked! I can now flash zips from the SD card in ClockworkMod.
But I still can't mount the SD card within CyanogenMod. I know I can flash zips with
Code:
adb sideload
if need be, but I would still very much like to be able to store pictures, etcetera, in that 8 GB of space.
EDIT 2:
I went to the store and bought myself an SD card adapter. I used that to format the card, but now I can't even access it from ClockworkMod.
I flashed your recovery and SD card works.
Which file system is your SD card using now?
If you flash a stock based rom from sideload, can you format SD from settings?
I bought a new SD card for $28 and everything works now. Note to self: never format SD card again.
