I am trying to apply a morph that i saved to my SD card, but when i go to the sd/ location i get the error no files found?
any ideas?
Thanks.
You mean /sdcard? If it's a morph, you don't install from recovery, you install with the Metamorph app in the market.
Yeah man, no need to be in recovery.
And with that said (unrelated), in clockwork recovery you can only install .zip files on /sdcard (internal), not /sdcard/sd (external).
my sd card is listed as /sd.
but anyway how come we cannot access the external sd card?
Also, i want to restore a nandroid backup it HAS to be on the internal memory?

These Morphs are for the battery and specifically state to be installed in clockworkmod recovery.

There is no /sd, not on a stock phone. What have you done to it?
You can access the external SD, you just have to do some manual stuff first. Kosh hasn't seen a reason to include it in the ramdisk for Clockwork, but you can mount it if you know how.
To restore a nandroid, yes, it has to be on internal. Unless you use an adb shell and run the script yourself anyway.

Then they are not morphs. Around here, "morph" means you install via MetaMorph.
Are you talking about the battery % mods in the themes and apps forum? Yes, you can install those in recovery. Download them and use ROM Manager in your booted phone. Select "Install ROM" and navigate to where it downloaded, the default is /sdcard/download. Select the ZIP and tell it it's OK to reboot and install it.
Update fixed the SD was broken I don't exactly know why but it explains everything so thanks for all your help and sorry for not being very
clear.
Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"
Oh crap I just formated the boot partition and now my phone won't boot at all!
It still won't find any zip. What now? Is there any way to restore clockworkmod?

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)
I was trying to install Tiamat for my Xoom running version 3.2 as per the instructions on the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
I was able to install ClockworkMod, put the Tiamat 2.0 zip on my SD card, boot into recovery mode, select the ZIP file for Tiamat, and it claims to install. However, once I reboot, nothing appears to have changed. My kernel version still remains the same. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a step I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is your Xoom rooted?
What version of CWM recovery did you install?
You can certainly install the Tiamat Katana kernel or the Tiamat Manta Ray Rom (which also contains the kernel) but you may need some additional steps, depending on your current situation.
I am having the exact same issue, except im on 3.1 and tiamat 1.44
Everything appears to install fine, but when i boot into the system I do not see that the kernel has changed....
Do you really need an external microSDHC card to make this work? I thought the latest CWM let you install from the internal media?
HALP!
You really need a micro sdcard, and you need CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c version.
Can the SDCARD have other data on it or just the ZIP file?
any will do.

I have the same question. I returned my 2 week old SGT10.1 for a Xoom yesterday, and I miss being able to flash roms from internal media.
I have CWM 4.0, it LOOKS just like the SGT version: is there a reason why I shouldn't try to flash Tiamet Manta Ray from the internal storage? Surely someone has tried...

It can have other data on it. Just make sure you have enough room for the zip file and a nandroid backup if you plan to make one.

I had the same problem but I think I figured it out. I had been trying to flash the overclocked version. As a shot in the dark I downloaded the stock Tiamat kernel and tried the process again. BINGO! ! I was then able to overclock to 1.7 using setCPU.
Okay, I found part of the problem...
Turns out, the Xoom is mounting its internal storage at /mnt/sdcard and the actual external SD Card to /mnt/external1. From the CWM recovery, I can't seem to navigate to /mnt/external1. What should I do?

I suspect that it's your version of CWM Recovery that's to blame. If you have Version 4.0.0.x you have the wrong version...it doesn't see your external card and you can't flash. If this is the case, you must download and install the Tiamat 3.2.0.0. R4c version, available in the Development section.

I was able to flash without seeing the external flash card. I booted up my Xoom,
connected the USB cable from my laptop which automounts the internal storage which is what is found at the /mnt/sdcard mount point. I copied the stock CPU .zip file to the base directory. Disconnected, rebooted into recovery. Once there I chose "Install zip from sdcard". Then chose "choose zip from sdcard". Then scrolled down to the bottom of the directory listing where I found my zip file and chose that zip file. Then I chose "Yes" to install and it finished from there. FYI I am running CWM v4.0.0.4

It's your choice, but the developers recommend flashing from and backing up to an external sdcard. If you do a nandroid backup with your current recovery version where will the backup be stored? At mnt/sdcard, your internal storage. What if you can't boot one day and have to end up wiping all of your user data before you could restore? If you backup to the external sdcard, that wouldn't be affected by a wipe. Anyway, I guess if you don't have/can't afford an sdcard it's a way to flash from recovery, but I think that version is more for phones which have only one sdcard--external--and only have a tiny amount of internal storage.

Those are just mountpoints, they have no bearing on how they present the contents.
CWM and Tiamat just have different mountpoints to the same device, the contents are the same.
If you put a file in /mnt/external1 you will see it in CWM under /mnt/sdcard, exactly the same.
Going back to Tiamat 3.2.0.0. R4c from CWM 4.0.0.4
Hi, somehow i mistakenly update CWM to 4.0.0.4. How can I back to CWM 3.2.0.0 R4c? Any advised much appreciated.
EDIT : Sorry, managed to back to 3.2.0.0 R4c by flashing again.

Would I be able to flash back to 3.2.0.0 R4c (from 4.0.0.4) even though I am already running the Tiamat kernel? I am guessing yes but I just want to be sure before I break something.

Seriously, you have to provide info on your setup. CM7 version, CWR version, SD or eMMC install, etc.....
Without knowing what you were initially trying to fix or what materials you have on hand, I would say make an up-to-date CWM card:
eyeballer said:
Download 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 sdcard image from here. MD5 of .zip: 1319739d33642ed860e8044c3d55aa56. (I made this based on work in this thread. credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen, and kevank for hosting). You really only need the 1gb image for this guide, no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.
Extract the clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard using win32diskimager (free) or winimage (shareware). These apps will need to be "run as administrator." If you're not sure how to do this see step 3 here. ***Some internal laptop/desktop readers will not work to do this, you may need an external USB reader if you run into problems.***

In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.

and

unpack teh two files from recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip onto your sd card, and copy the whole flash_image.zip to sd card.
enter magldr
select 'boot ad sd' which will start cwm but from your sd card, from there you choose 'instal from zip - select zip' and select the flash_image.zip, which will reinstall cwm into the recovery partition on your nand, and now you should find that magldr 8 - ad recovery now works, and your rom hasnt been touched. plus you now have the latest cwm.

Please, confirm if I get this right - the only way to make Rom manager work with HD2 is to use CLK bootloader, is that right. I had similar troubles to these decribed in the above posts and solved them in similar manner. I dont want to go all the way and install CLK and rom, restore back-ups and see it is too not working with Rom manager.
