I had an older full-size SD Card that I put into my Transformer's dock but ClockWorkMod only read /sdcard and could not be mounted. Even without any sd card in, it still says I can try updating/install the update.zip from /sdcard. Is this reading the /sdcard folder that the Transformer has? I ordered a miniSD to have me actually install a Kernel but how will I know its reading that, not the /sdcard folder?
I had an older thread I made where I could not mount the 2gb SD card but I guess Clockworkmod never read it -- only the /sdcard folder I have in my transformer; yet there is no update.zip in there.
So.. can ClockworkMod only read microSD cards? Sorry for my confusion, I just cannot find a clear answer to this..
Yes clockworkmod recovery only reads the microSD. Normally /sdcard is the Transformers internal memory, but the latest clockworkmod makes the microsd card mount as /sdcard so you can use and format your microSD through clockworkmod.

THANK YOU! I pressed thanks and I greatly appreciate the reply.
Hi guys, gals and droids.
I successfully rooted my tf101 using this guide
addictivetips.com/mobile/root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-asus-transformerhoneycomb-3-1/
The CWM installed (v3.0.2) without a problem which was nice.
However, now i am suffering from the same issue as a few other people.
CWM wont mount the SDCard (2gig sandisk)
I have been transferring the .zip to the SDcard via the tf101.
I am going out now to buy a new one, poss a couple of different brands in both 2gig and 4gig along with a sdcard reader.
My aim is to install Prime v1.5
Any advice on how not to mess this will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Sorted,
Bought a 4gig sandisk msdhc, updated cwm, and now running prime 1.5.
:-D

This is, unfortunately, normal. None of the builds allow the micro SD to be mounted as a USB storage device on your PC. Stock is the same.

Thanks for the reply, Then how do i install Clockwork v08? it says it has to be installed on Micro SD, I'm trying to install VEGAn.
When u add it to the SD card (by removing it from the tablet and reading it directly for your PC)) then reinserting it to the tablet), and then power off and then back on with the volume+ held in, it will read the files on the SD card.

And actually, if you use clockworkmod .08, it reads /sdcard by default (that's the internal memory) when you use it.
I have a ZIP of cwm .08 in my TnT Lite dev post, and that is setup to be used on /sdcard, not micro SD. you drop the update.zip and /recovery folder to the root of /sdcard (via the drive letter on your PC), reboot into recovery and it should find and install clockworkmod.

Thanks so much, I will try it.
I need this space to put the 3.1 update zip
Is there a question of some kind? This thread confuses me.

i need a solution
just put in an micro sd card, then mount the card
I have the same Problem ... I put a 128 MB micro SD-Card to my xoom and the xoom does not recognize the card. Then I formatted the sdcard and the xoom shows me, that i have a 3mb card ...
if the thing is showing you 3 mb, then use a sd card reader to put the microsd in your computer and use Windows/Mac/Linux to format it back to 128 mb. From there, just use the file manager (i.e. Windows Explorer) to chuck your updates in there, plug the sucker in, and then reboot into recovery. Make sure you have the recovery 3.2.0.0 r4c from solarnz in the dev section.
Make sure you plug in the microsd card before you boot into recovery! otherwise, it won't see it (like it did for me 100 times) >.<
And as much as you can try to mount the internal SD from your xoom to the computer and reformat it, you'll always end up with 3 MB. ._. stupid thing.
let me know how that works out for you! oh, and if i got any details wrong, please do fix me >.< I am new to the whole tablet/xoom scene, so im learning about the different quirks, like this stupid SD problem which shouldn't have existed in the first place >=[

As i said in the title I have problem in clockwork recovery. For partition the internal sd and increase internal storage i need install partition.zip from external sd. But in clockwork recovery i can't enter ext. sd. How can i increase increase int. storage?
You could try formatting your external sdcard and then try again in recovery.

which type i should format?
Just put sdcard in and go to settings>storage>format sdcard. That should make it work.

this happens to me too, I formated the 16gb card many times and do not work. With one 4gb sd card works
No one knows how to solve this, I dont have any hopes. because of this I cant inscrease internal memory or make backups for my sd card that I use. it sucks
So I rooted this stupid tablet and put the custom acer recovery app or whatever it is on it. Installed the proper CWM, and when I boot into recovery and try into install zip from SD card all it shows is "Lost.dir". Nothing else. What am I doing wrong?? The ROM/Kernel I want are on the root of my sd card, why isn't it showing up?
Because the tablet isn't stupid it knows exactly where the files should go but you didn't put them there? You just put your files into a wrong directory namely your internal storage.
/sdcard/ = internal storage which isn't used by CWM
/mnt/external_sd/ = SD card which is accessed by CWM
EDIT:
And in case you're looking for USB... The tablet mounts it under /mnt/usb_storage

Files can also be put on a USB flash drive and CWM will see them there also

Some SD cards can not be seen bybrecovery.try formatting your card on another android device or a format utility from your PC.use fat file system.if still no luck try a fifteenth SD card
Goodluck
FAT, FAT32, external sd, usb drive, no matter where I put it, or what i do doesn't show it.
I give up.

Take your time and have patience. I know the feeling. How are you transferring the data to the micro SD card? Can you use a file manager app to access the card, /mnt/external_sd?
Sent from my HoneyVillain 1.1 HC3.2 using Tapatalk
Again over and over ..try another SD card maybe two this is a very common issue.very common
Try diffrent SD cards if you have not
Or use a USB drive and flash from there. I do it all the time if I'm to lazy to copy the files to my SD card.
I am also stumped with the the acer reading the micro sd card. I am able to see it using root explorer. However, I cant see it when it is connected to my computer. I had to place my sd card in my galaxy tab in order to transfer files to it, and then place it in the iconia. That appeared to be the only way to put the rom on the root of my sd card. I want to save my stock back up to my computer in case I damage my sd card, but there seems to be no way to do it with out removing the card and placing it in another device. Am I missing something? Dont want to start another thread, so I'm asking here because it looks like it's been seen by other users.

FYI ( just in case ) !!!
When fully booted... SD CARD is the internal storage... and the physical card is shown as EXTERNAL SD CARD !
When at CWM recovery... SD CARD is the real physical card !
again KNOWN ISSUE

This Is a flaw.well if its actually a flow its a honeycomb issue.nothing you can do to fix this.unless I have missed it recently
its talked about alot on this forum.
No problem here but I am running the rom listed below. I see it on the tab and when I plug it in the computer. Everything works.
Sent from my Acer Iconia A500 running HoneyVillain 1.1 HC 3.2 for A501, OC'd 1.5GHz
So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.
I find it kinda strange, because once I reboot my tablet, everything's working fine, but it's not letting me install a custom rom
And yes, I have...
1. Unlocked by booloader.
2. Rooted my phone along with installing superuser.
3. Installed CWM recovery through fastboot (or whatever it's called, lol)
Has anyone gone through the same thing?
Bump....
Cm on guys I really need to get this rolling ...
What class SD Card are you using? I have issues with CWM on this Tablet reading anything above a class 6. I have a Class 10 SD Card that I have to swap Out and put in a different slower class card to flash roms and what not so I personally have had to deal with this because of the speed. Anyway hope that helps you out.
I'll try another sd card and see if it work out. Thanks for the advice!!
Bump. Using a different SD card didn't work, unfortunately

Back up all ur SD card files to PC
In CWM, you will find a Advance/ partition Sd card
Use this and make a 128 mb one, Reboot to CWM and CWM will recognize your card.

thank you very much....really helpful
Please help me i have a similar problem. I tried to partition it and it worked but it wouldnt recognize my sd card. Idk what happened maybe i formatted by mistake and now i dont have a system (or atleast it wouldnt boot up) and i have a cwm that doesnt mount recovery so i cant flash.
please someone help me! i need my phone
FIXED!
Nevermind. I did it wrong. U were supposed to partition sd card make it 128-128 and then while still in advanced setting restart launcher. Then you have to go to mount the card manually through mounts and storage.
if you just shut down the device it wouldnt work.
thank you for helping me fix this demonntl
