How to access sd card from ClockworkMod Recovery Mode

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.

[Q]Update fixed Clockworkmod isn't working

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)

[Q] Can't read SD 4th partition (verygreen CM7)

I had CM7.1 installed onto the microSD (verygreen's method) and also had MIUI on emmc.
Today I decided to the unusable MIUI and install CM7 to emmc. Installation went fine but post installation of CM7(emmc) I booted into my SD CM7 to do a TB to restore onto emmc but it couldnt read/find the supposed SD(i.e. mmcblk1p4)
Next up I tried NookColor UMS. It mounts emmcblk1p1 as boot and I can add/remove files but the emmcblk1p4 gets mounted as a removable drive that "needs to be formatted".
(P.S. I did try mmcblk1p2/p3 but couldn't see anything in them either. I assumed they must be ext and since I'm on win7 I cant view them)
How do I get the emmcblk1p4 to mount/read?
thanks!

Did you use the same sd card to install CM7 to the emmc as you used for CM7?

Are you sure that you didn't format your card when you wrote the boot image to install CM7 to the emmc?
How did you go about installing CM7 to emmc? Which emmc install method did you use?

Here's what I did:
1. Reboot into recovery. (Emmc CWM, not verygreen's installer.)
2. Unmount/remove SDcard.
3. Wipe/data factory reset.
4. Insert/ mount SDcard
5. Install zip from SDcard.
6. Choose zip and confirm
I know when we do a wipe data/factory reset then the sd-ext partition is formatted and that would delete any one of my CM7 SD partitions so I removed SD before this step.
Could it be that during flashing something happened to mmcblk1p4?
I had no ideas about the various methds for emmc install. I thought this was the standard procedure. Please tell me how to recover. Also if possible can you tell which would be the best method for doing something like this?

How possibly you can use ONE uSD for both CwMR and CM7?

As I stated in my previous post..the CWM is emmc while have 2 copies of CM7 (sdcard- verygreen and the normal emmc). And CWM recognises emmcblk1p1 as sd-card. So I put ROMs there.
And my emmcblk1p4 can't be read.

You can either use stock to download the CM10.1 zip directly to the internal SD or connect the USB cable with stock booted and use the cable to copy the file from your PC to the internal SD.
Once the file is on the internal SD, you can boot to the SD again and use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option.
And my files are attached to the post he quoted (my HD+ Hybrid thread linked in my signature) and instructions are there to. I have a section there devoted to the HD Hybrid.

I am really sorry to be so dense about this. I copied the ROM and the GAAPS to the Internal SD, I didn't put it inside any particular folder. Now when I boot the nook back up, choosing install zip from SD/Internal memory - it asks choose which zip to apply - i do not see the ROM zip and the GAAPS zip.
Did I need to extract the Flashable ROM zip and copy those files to the internal SD or the copying the entire folder is fine?
What am I missing....

I'll attempt to describe this to you as easy as possible, and hopefully you should have your Nook ready in minutes. It doesn't take too much effort or time; mainly waiting for install requires time, other than that it's a quick process. It's not difficult either; the more you believe it is difficult, the more it will be.
I'll start from the beginning; and you go can go from there.
1. Download the latest ROM for your Nook HD (this is a hummingbird variation) from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
The latest version is, as of today (CTRL + F in your browser, then paste the first line of the following quote to find it easily):
cm-10.1-20130418-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird *** NEWEST ***
MD5: 26dcb32d40fdcf7779ac0d34843c4404
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Now you need to download the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery for your Nook (to install the ROM). Once you download it, you must also download the latest update file. Download CWM & the Update from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097731
The latest version of CWM + the update, as of today:
sdcard-cwm-hummingbird-hybridv2.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
update-20130221.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download both these from the link on step two (above; in this paragraph).
3. You optionally can install Gapps too; which I would recommend to access all of Google Services, including the Play Store. So download it from here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
4. Let's get started! First, if you have a Windows machine, download WinDiskReader32 (click). This is to burn the CWM .img to your SD card. Now plug in your SD card into your PC. Extract the CWM files, it was downloaded in step 2. You should have a single file with the extension .img. Load up WinDiskImager, select the CWM file, and also select the drive which your SD card is inserted into. Make sure you do not overwrite any other drive (i.e. C drive), as you will wipe out your whole PC OS. Then hit the "Write" button on WinDiskImager. Your SD card will now have CWM installed (and your SD will be partitioned. This is fine, and you should only see around ~160MB on your SD card; again this is perfectly normal).
5. After burning CWM to your SD card, extract the update file (also downloaded in step two) directly into your SD card. So basically, extract the update file into your SD card, and it will ask if you want to overwrite any existing files, confirm this.
6. Connect your Nook to your PC, whilst on the stock B&N ROM and in MTP mode (if you don't know what MTP is, most likely you haven't changed it, so your can ignore it). Once plugged in. Transfer the ROM file you downloaded in step 1, and Gapps which you downloaded in step 3 to your Nook's "Internal Storage". Transfer the ROM & Gapps (DO NOT EXTRACT THESE FILES, JUST COPY THEM TO YOUR SD CARD) to your Nook HD's internal storage via PC. Once fully transferred, move onto the next step.
7. Turn your Nook off. Eject your SD card from your PC. Place the SD card into your Nook. Turn on your device. At this point, your Nook will constantly restart as it sets up your SD card (don't touch it at this point, let it do it's thing). After a while, you should be booted into CWM. This is when the process of setting up the SD card has been complete.
8. In CWM, select "install .zip from SD card", then select "install .zip from internal sd card". Locate and install the ROM. This may take some time. Once complete, locate and install the Gapps file.
9. This isn't mentioned in the original setup, or anywhere else, but I would recommend that you fix the permission of your Nook HD now, as a fresh install before you proceed to use it. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233688 and start from Section 5 on the link, once done, return to this thread, then move onto the next step here.
10. Optionally (if you don't want to install, skip to step 11), now you can install a patch by leapinlar. For example, if you boot into CyanogenMod, you cannot use your internal storage. You can only use your SD card. However, if you would like to use your internal storage when in CyanogenMod, install this fix by leapinlar:
NookHD-HDplus-Hybrid-SDSwap-for CM10-10.1-rev2-(03.09.13).zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094 If you install this fix, your internal storage will be used instead of your SD card (this is a bonus for those who are using 2GB SD cards, since they're limited on storage). After this fix, all your apps and everything will treat the internal storage as it's default native storage space.
11. Go to the root menu on ClockWorkMod Recovery, and select "reboot system now". Your tablet will now reboot into CyanogenMod perfectly.
You are good to go. All the best.

Since you wiped it after installing Gapps, there's no need to do it again; as it won't make a difference. But if you want to, simply boot into recovery.

Use the boot menu to get to stock. To get to CM10 from rooted stock, install an app from Play Store named Quick Boot by Sirius Applications. You can use that to tell it to reboot. If you do not have stock rooted, you must power off and back on.

Then don't use CWM. And if you use the installer script you must use a nightly earlier than 5/15 until I get the script fixed. That is unless you are using steven676's experimental version of CWM for use on SD installs. If you are it is not yet ready for prime time and you may have glitches.

Ok, just to make sure I understand what you mean by "installer script", I can not use the Rev8b image with a post 5/15 CM11?
That's actually what I tried first and it didn't work which led me to try and get CWM6.0.4.8 working. I will try a pre-5/15 image with 8b shortly.

The installer script is part of 8b. It is the penguin with the scrolling text. And you need to use a CM11 zip older than 5/15.

That worked - I had used the 8b image but with the 5/18 nightly, which obviously was a fail.
I downloaded a 2/10 build and it booted and worked, albeit quite slow. Without CWM, how do I flash the 5/4 build? Or do I just have to redo the whole img creation on the SD card again?

No, just copy the zip to the boot partition and boot to the SD recovery (the script installer). It will find and install the new zip.

I'll give that a shot. I tried re-imaging 8b with the 0504 build and it doesn't like it; same behavior as with the 0518 build. Looks like 8b needs builds older than 0504. I'll go back and try the 0210 build and then copying just the 0504 to the boot partition like you suggested.

Copying 0504 to the boot partition of the 0210 SD card worked. Can I do the same method for newer than 0515 versions?

Steven676 said the issue happened a while back but didn't know exactly when it happened. Once you get a version of CM11 installed, any new nightly will update (I used it right up to 5/15).
Note: If you have trouble installing gapps, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49942253

Thanks to both of you for your help. So can I put a version of CM10 using this method, to see how it runs?
Pretty interesting to see how each version incrementally performs better. The Feb one was uber-slow, then 0504 was better. Just tried 0518 and it's another increase in performance. I'll keep working my way up.
