Hi,
Yesterday I installed MIUI RC5b, and had the external sd error. I read around and found that if you get a garbled screen after the bootloader, you have to downgrade it because you have a gingerbread one. That was my problem since I come from JVK, so I flashed EZBase and that fixed it.
I was getting the Cyanogenmod logo after the bootloader one, but still, I had no external sd, so I decided to flash a Doc's Kitchen rom back. After that, the phone gets stuck in the boot screen, does not even get to the boot animation.
I flashed a clean JM9 firmware, and got no problems, but if I install CWM and flash anything else, it locks again. From CWM, I cannot mount /system /data or /cache, because I get a "Cannot mount /system: !" error message.
I've also tried applying / removing lagfixes, and flashing EZBase and upgrading to the kitchen rom.
Reinstalling MIUI I got "SD Card damaged" notification, but everything else works fine.
I'm pretty out of ideas here. I've been reading around and haven't found anything similar.
By the way, MIUI rocks. I just wish I could solve the external SD problem and I would use it forever.
Anyone has any tips?
Thanks.

Could you try to use another sdcard?
I think you should try to reinstall again. Follow the guide provided by galnet or itskapil.

I have installed RC6, and I have exactly the same problem.
When I insert the microsd, I get a "damaged sd card" notification telling me I have to format it. If I press "format", the card formatted is the internal sd, instead of the external.
And after that, /mnt/emmc is still empty and I cannot copy anything there.
It must be a deeper problem, as I thinks it is what makes me unable to install any other ROM.
did you ever fix the miui problem, or get into download mode to reflash another rom? I used miui, then bricked my phone trying to flash back to darkys

I know I am not the only one... over the last two days I have done ALOT of reading in this forum and others. I have seen other with this problem, but I am not seeing solutions.
I used DL09.tar.md5, the "Official" release from the development forums. Then I rooted. No problem. I can use various file managers to browse the SD card, no problem. I can even install apk's. Most of the time I can see the SD card from the computer, no problem. But every single time I try to load any .zip through the clockwork manager, I get:
can't mount /sdcard
in CWM recovery, I even get this when I try to browse the sdcard for .zip
Please, someone tell me there is something obvious I am missing. Is my sdcard just bad? Am I just going insane? I really just want to stop fighting with it and be able to get a stable build! but I need to be able to use .zips through CWM!
i had this same issue when i was upgrading to DL30. For some reason when it couldn't mount the SD card I said "screw it" and physically ejected the SD card then reinserted, it worked. Sometimes it makes the Recovery boot, but others it didnt.
now, randomly, after removing CWM and redoing it it worked for a bit... failing again though...
Make sure you have the latest cwm. There is a new non voodoo one.. I had some issues last week.. It was telling me the card was busy.. I used the di01 md5 tar to odin back to stock and that seemed to fix

Hi,
i think i have a really big issue here.
I tried to install the Mondo Rom, but i had cm7 and android 2.3 before, so i had to flash back to amon-ra recovery.
I did everything the tutorial said, but it just wont work, soo then there was a great idea that i came up with:
lets try to format the sd card.. and yeaah now i got one problem.
My Phone stucks while booting at the "Tattoo" logo.
I just can boot into recovery or hboot , fastboot wont work, because my computer isn´t recognizing my phone :/
What should i do?
oh and i can´t go into mount usb either it just says:
"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
please help, because i need to go to the hospital tomorrow and i need my cellphone :S
If you can boot to recovery, why you don't flash the rom again, or maybe another rom, in case that you have problems with mondo rom?
same problem
i´ve updated yesterday my tattoo to the latest cm7 rom. Everything worked very well, but today it´s restarting the whole time.
it come untill pin and then restart. I dont undestand whats the problem.
I´ve flashed the rom again and wiped erverything but nothing
Try to put your memory card in another phone or in a card reader. Format your sd card again. Put a rom on it and try to install it.
problem solved
i solved my problem after installing an old backup of the old sense rom
and after that i wiped data and installed the new rom
and nnow it´s working
So yesterday I rooted my Atrix and loaded CM7 on there. Everything was going fine. I then started seeing errors saying that my SD was unmounted or not found while in the OS. I tried looking it up and all I could find was that I should try formatting so I wiped everything off it, didn't work. So now I went into ClockworkMod recovery to reset to factory and now it's not booting up to the OS at all. It just sticks at the logo screen where it says "Unlocked". I am able to get back to recovery screen but that's it. I can't access the SD card at all because it's empty and it can't find it.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Reinstall CM7. you can enable USB mode from recovery, just copy the CM7 zip back on from your computer, and you should be good to go.

Did you wipe the internal or external?
If I were you I would do a complete fastboot wipe and flash another ROM. That way you eliminate a bunch of possible problems.
When I try to mount USB storage, it says "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Also, I wiped the internal one. I don't have an external SD. And how do I do a fastboot wipe?
Do you think it might work if I got an external SD card and put the files on there? Then try to flash CM7 from it?
Something got messed up when I tried to flash my acer a500 from a rooted version of 3.1. One problem I have (and I admit it was my fault) is I did not move my backed up ROM to my external card - so I don't have anything to restore.
My device will boot to CWM (v5, rev 1.3.4), I've tried loading several different ROMs just to flash something on there to get my device back to square one.
I got in this predicament because I had regular OTA 3.2 and couldn't root. I downgraded to 3.1 (buggy and endless FC), but I was able to run gingerbreak for rooting, do a backup (titanium) and my impression at that point was I could flash a custom mod through CWM.
Nothing is working. I have formatted the sd card in CWM and tried ROMs like Thor 14.2, Tabooney 3.0 and several 3.1/3.2 Acer stock ROMs. After wiping data/factory, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik and Battery Stats and then trying to load a zip file from /sdcard it either tells me the installation fails (which most believe is a bad dl), or (in the case of CWM_ROM_A500_701414_GEN1.zip), the install actually goes through - Finding update...opening update...Installing update... - but whenever I reboot after a *successful* install my device just hangs at the Acer logo/splash screen forever.
I've tried resetting the device (power/ + vol /lock on/off/on/off) and it hangs for a long time Erasing Cache.
I'm overwhelmed. I just want to get a stock ROM on that will install successfully so I can have a functional machine back. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or what I can do here? Thanks
Never mind
I used a different SD card and that did the trick

Enjoy the little things in life
Probably have a corrupted SD. Might just do a full format on it and still be usable.
Can someone please help me? I have a Samsung focus that was recently acting up.. Games wouldn't open etc.. so I decided to reset it.. After I reset it.. Its now stuck at the Samsung logo after resetting.. I am guessing that I need to reflash it.. If so, I need to make sure my battery isn't dead. Does the Phone charge while showing the Samsung boot logo?? Help Please..
I dont have a focus but with a Google search looks bout the same as I wud do on my epic ..found this if it helps http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...ks/130642-help-stuck-samsung-boot-screen.html
Alright, heres what I did.1. Rebooted in*CWM2. Wiped data/factory reset3. Wiped cache partition4. Wiped dalvik cacheAt this point I couldn't reflash because I forgot I couldn't access my SD card, I kept getting the "e:can't mount /sdcard" message whenver I went to install zip from sd card.5. Took off the back and pooped out the SD card and put it right back in. Seemed to work6. Flashed 2.07. Flashed kejar's sd card fix8. Rebooted through*CWMPhone starts up, do all the set up stuff, but still can't access my sd card or anything. Booted back into*CWM*just to see and was getting the "e:can't mount /sdcard" error again and couldnt reflash anything, so back to step 1.Here's a list of other things I have done since the original crap out a few days ago that might be affecting this.*1. Yesterday I tried reflashing 2.0 and it seemed to be boot looping again. So I just wiped data and cache partition and flashed 1.9.1 that I had on my SD card. Was having the same problems so that was the only time I tried it. Not sure if built in kernels might affect anything or whatever.2. After it seemed like I had a stable 2.0 again last night. I flashed blue*CWM*because I've had yellow this whole time. I also flashed EP1 radios through ODIN because I was planning on going to GG 2.1 (I was following your video dave! its awesome btw*).I'm not sure at what point I lost access to my SD card. Ive read a lot this morning about voodoo lag fix affecting things. Could this be a problem with what I've done?

Thanks for your help but seeing as your phone is an Android phone, I don't think the same process applies. But thanks for the effort, I have this baby up and running now.. I just had to reflash the ROM.. Thanks again :good:

If you have decided to reflash then use ROM provided by 'voluptuary' (3.10a). And moreover, to flash, it would not matter if your battery is getting charged. Just plug the device to your PC using the USB cable and flash the device.
Be VERY sure you flash the correct ROM for your phone. If you have a version 1.3, then ONLY flash 1.3 ROMs to it. If you have a version 1.4, then ONLY flash 1.4 ROMs to it. You can find the version number under the battery on the sticker. If you flash the wrong version of ROM to it, you will end up with a brick.
When having problems like this, I would recommend flashing the Stock ROM to it first to set everything back to normal. Then, if that works fine, go to custom ROMs if desired. Stock flashing will replace everything back to new settings, including spl, radio, etc... Some of the custom ROMs are truly worth flashing, FASTER, stable, nice features.

I know I had 3.05a and reflashed 3.10a Clean Rom.. It works great now... I remember I use to have problems with the 3g but not after reflashing it works great
