hi everyone,
i am using TWRP 2.2.1 on my sgs+ for a long period w/o problems, but now i did some mistake and i cannot anymore read external SD from TWRP.
what i did is: full wipe and factory reset (as i always did before any flash), but this time i also did an internal storage wipe, because i wanted to try a clean installation of a rom.
after this internal storage wipe, i went back to install menu, but i am not able to see external storage. it seems that i only get access to internal storage.
if i try nount menu and i mount external sd card, i can correctly see the sd on my win7 pc, so i am sure that it works and the files are inside it.
but if i cannot access it from twrp, i cannot flash any rom!
i try to play wit mount menu, and check some field (mount system, mount data, mount cache...) but i do not even know what i am doying!
any hints?
thanks in advance!
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.
I'm having this problem all of a sudden...
I don't know how to fix this..
I try to change on other ROM but same result.
Please help me guys...
If I download something from xplorer it will display SD card unavailable.
If I open play store it will suddenly close...
Unfortunately Google play store stopped........
Also I can't access my internal storage.....
I use twrp

Wipe data,system,cache and data/media (internal sd card).
Format your external sd card via recovery or PC. (optional)
I think it's happening due to corrupt file system.Though if the problem is within your internal SD card instead of external one, there is no need to format external sd card.

You might still want to wipe data/media after sw update.It only wipes data, system and cache and not data/media.
I know this because I've had my internal sd card (data/media) corrupted before, preventing my phone from booting.Was only able to fix it via recovery, by wiping internal sd card.Stock, CWM or TWRP a wipe should do it.But SW update doesn't format internal sd card.

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
Hello,
I believe I have a problem with internal memory card... Full wiping not working sometimes (says it cannot mount '/system'), and time to time new image installation stops on the extraction phase...
Is there any way to format internal card except TWRP wiping?..
Or maybe there's some other way to reliably clean up the intermal card?
Please advice.
Format from settings and just delete everything on phone. Let phone boot then Odin. Alternatively twrp has option to wipe internal, just be sure you have backup and new rom on external before you wipe.
