[Q] CWM does not see SD card - Galaxy Tab General

Help guys, i just go the tab and i tried to flash overcome1.4
In CWM my SD card seems to be the onboard memory so I can't find the Rom zip
This is what I did so far:
I managed to get CWM recover v3.0.1.9 installed.
go to install zip from SD card
go to choose Zip from SD card
**here it appears i'm in the onboard memory..not the 4gb SD card i put in**
Help im stuck here.

This is a "Known Issue" with the new kernel. See first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
Try to connect the Tab to PC in whatever mode that's working. Maybe internal SD will show up and you can copy.
Otherwise, research "ADB" in recovery.

[Q] Problem copying CM7 zip to SD card using Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7

Hi,
I'm new to the scene and I wanted to try out CM7 booting from SD before I install it to the internal memory. I am having a problem pasting the CM7 zip file on the card. The instructions state "Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file."
After I burned the installer image to the card it only shows up as having a capacity of 115mb. It is a sandisk 16gb card. From what I read I need to access another partition, but I dont know how to do this.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

If you are seeing a partition named "boot" that is 115MB, that is correct. The CM7 zips are all around 95-97MB. You will not be able to see the other partitions in Windows without additional software (Windows only sees the first active partition on a drive).
(You will, however, see the storage partition (in your case ~13.5GB) if you use USB storage mode to connect your Nook to your PC once your CM7 SD install is set up).
Edited: Sorry, ignore me!
I posted in the wrong thread and couldn't find a way to delete my post!
Yep, the "only one partition" that you see is the "only one partition" that you need. Put the zip in there, put the card in your NC, and gogogo.
Thanks for everyone's reply. I was able to get everything working. I actually just had to rename the zip file to Update-CM.zip for everything to run correctly.
Thanks again.

[Q] CWM Error mounting /sdcard!

I used the NVflash root method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714, but when I tried to update CWM from v3.0.2.8 to v3.1.0.1 it can't mount the sdcard. Every solution I've seen says that you need to format the sdcard but I can't format it using Windows because it views it as a media device and I can't format it from CWM because it needs to mount it to format it. Any ideas on how I can get it working? Or should I try flashing roms by another method?
Pic shows all the different things I've tried and the messages that it produced.
take a micro sd card and put it in
go into recovery and go down to advanced
repartition the micro sd card
reboot
put what evere you want to flash in the micro sd card and flash
take your sdcard out and use SD Formatter 3.0 to format it. Now try re-flash the new CWM.

I formatted it, it worked. Now to get it to stop aborting the roms I'm trying to install. Thanks guys

[q] urgent help needed!!

Ok, I have CWM and I can access it. I cannot read from my External SD Card to install a rom. I can access my Internal SD but I do not have a rom in there.
I cannot boot into the previous ROM since I erased everything and when restarting I get boot loops. I need the tablet to get back to work tomorrow.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I have a ROM downloaded in my PC but when I connect the A500 to the PC (via USB) I cannot mount it to copy it there and flash.
HELP please!!!
What version of CWM do you have. I think the new one can install ROM from USB drive. Also try reformatting the SD card in a PC in FAT32, some time its just that and some time tablet is picky what SD card it can read and what it cant.

I was able to put the SD Card from my phone and flashed the new rom. The tablet is sill not recognizing the SD Card though. I put it on my PC and it wont detect it (cant format it that way). I put it on my printer and I am able to read from it but I cannot format it. It tells me that is right protected.
I need to find another way of formatting it.
Thanks for your help.
I suggest you get a new sd card. Clearly the one you're trying to use is not working.
I'm not even sure if you can "write protect" an SD. Maybe something on the micro SD adapter perhaps (switch)? Or an option in Windows Explorer (check the sd's "properties". If it says "write protected", then turn it off.

External Sd not Mounting (CWM)

For some strange reason My external Sd card does not show up in the cwm Recovery. The Sd card is fine, it worked on my S2 Fine but for some reason its not working on the cwm Recovery. Currently running Stock Tmobile 4.0.4. Cwm 5.8.4.7. I am able to see my phones internal sd files, just the external sd appears to be missing. i have also tried mounting the external sd but have been unsuccessful. any help?

Anything newer than 5.8.4.5 isn't seeing the sd card on the AT&T version. I doubt yours is any different. You can download what you need here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

"no SD card" - cm13

Hi, I flashed cm13 on my klte, chose to format SD as internal, flashed 13 again(don't remember why) and then my phone wouldn't recognize my sd. Thought I had corrupted it so I bought a new one and formatted that as external, still the same. I can see the SD card and what's inside it with file manager, and I can transfer files to and from with my PC, but if I try to download anything from a browser I get "no SD card"
Any suggestions?
