Clockwork Recovery 3.0 Corrupted My 16gb Sd Card

I had just finished installing Myns New Rom and Flashed the combo radios aswell, I ran Titanium Backup and installed my apps. I opened Rom Manager and said I had to flash Clockwork Mod and it updated to 3.O. I then proceeded to make a back up of the rom and then my phone went straight to boot loader, It would not reboot and would not enter recovery just reboots back into boot loader. I finally removed the sd card and rebooted after 10 mins it went back to my rom. I then tried to open my sd card on pc an nothing shows up, I tried 2 others and nothing, cannot even format. I borrowed my friends evo and went to recovery with sdcard in to format it say error can not mount and nothing. I tried within the phone, with cm6 installed and it said the sd card was blank or wrong something, (I forgot) No luck. I think it might have destroyed my sd card, Im trying to find a software that may allow me to do so any luck.
-not visible in pc
-cannot mount or format on phone or recovery mode.
-16gb Micro Sd card Sandisk class 2, bought when touch pro came out for 110 from bestbuy (got 100 back from Htc Touch return so really only 10)
-Had partitoned earlier to run mikifroyo app2sd, unpartioned by formatting.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Ok when I Insert My SD card it just boots to loading and reboots over and over again. Any ideas?

try looking in the forums for the lastet recovery in .zip format.
Copy it to the root of the sd card. (if you think that you have an issue with the SD card, then take a fresh SD that is formatted to Fat32. Make sure it is not NTFS. If you formatted on the Mac, make sure the partition format is MBR and not GUID, if you don't know how to do this, I can explain further. The easiest way would be to make sure that you do it on a windows machine)
Start your phone, and hopefully it will install the recovery automatically.
After you install the recovery, and get your phone booted into android, you can locate a pre-rooted rom of your choice in the forums here or at the "other" place if you prefer.
You can read more about it in this other section of the forum. The information below is from that forum, in case you can't find it or are too lazy to search.

Thanks, I was planning to do this but Im more concerened about my sd card, The phone boots well with out the sd card now, So I was planning to install the zip later. Thanks though I really appreciate the help and thoroughness of your answer which is great. But do you by anychance know what I can to do to recover the card back?

[Q] ClockWorkMod Rom Manager - Won't Mount SD Card

Hello,
So I realize their are opther post similar to this one, but nothing that fits my symptoms. I have a Xoom WiFi, rooted, with Tiamat Kernel 2.1.0 (Tachi). So far I have unable to get the ROM Manager or Recovery Mode to mount my SD Card.
When I reboot into Recovery Mode I get an error that says "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". I tried many different things to resolve this, including trying to use the option to format the SD Card. I have tried 2 SD Cards, a 4GB and a 32GB. Both cards work in the Xoom in regular mode, just not in Recovery Mode.
When I tried to format them with Recovery Mode, after I selected my options, it said "Waiting to Mount SD Card", it failed and rebooted.
So now I don't believe there is a problem with the formatting, just a problem with the mounting.
Is there something simple I am missing. If I can't get this working, I will not be able to transfer files to the Xoom if I screw something up, so I don't wont to go any further until I get this resolved.
Any help for the Noob. Thanks

What version of clockworkmod recovery are you using? Version 4.0.0.4 does not recognize the external sd card. If you are attempting to boot into recovery through rom manager it probably 'updated' your recovery to the 4.x version.If you want to be able to access your micro sdcard in recovery, you need to flash the solarnz CWM 3.2.0.0 R4c recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979.

Thank you for the quick reply. I think I had just found that posted elsewhere too. Its good to know its not a problem with my system, but why was hat feature removed. Just obsolete?
And Yes, it is 4.0.0.4.
Thanks Again

Just a follow-up question. If I can't mount the SD Card within thsat version of Recovery, how are you supposed to transfer files onto the Xoom if you are trying to fix a screw and the system won't boot?
If I plug the Xoom into my computers USB while in Recover Mode, it mounts the Xooms drive, but won't allow me to access it. Am I supposed to be able to make that happen?

I think it is for phones that have only one sdcard (external) and only a really small amount of internal storage. Tablets have an internal sdcard and this is whhat version 4.x reads and writes to. In addition, some tablets, like Xoom have an external sdcard and therefore require a custom recovery to take advantage of it.

There is also a newer recovery based on the cwm 4... series that is built specifically for the xoom/honeycomb' and that does read the sd... I've found it much more user-friendly... search for rogue recovery,you won't br disappointed
Re: rom manager, my recommendation is to uninstall it... seems to cause more probs than it is worth, and with the new roms' automation of boot into recovery and the ease os use of rogue recovery, there really isn't a need for it.

Very nice. Now I think I understand, and I have already switched over to the Rogue Recovery and it is working great. I like the ability to mount the SD card or switch to the internal storage. Now I feel better, and as someone else said, I do like seeing that Rogue graphic on my zoom!
Thanks again for the help!

@hchxoom--You are right and that version may be a good option, but it seems the problem right now is that he can't boot into the os, can't access the external sdcard with flashable files and maybe a nandroid backup and the Xoom can't be accessed via adb/fastboot...
@krpto1973--Is this right? I'm a bit unclear about your current state.

Oh sorry, no. I saw that situation you described and was worried about doing anything further if I couldn't mount the SD Card. So I wanted to find a way to mount it in recovery so that i could feel more comfortable messing around. I am not as familiar with ADB commands as I should be, so I also wanted the SD Card option.
But thank you again for the quick response! you guys rock!

OK, cool. Glad you got your answers.

Why is everything force closing?

Just bought the parents some nook colors and I've been trying to rom it up with no luck...
The nook came with 1.3.0
These are the steps i took:
I used Win32DiskImager to write the 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer.zip image to the boot SD and booted into CWM.
I removed the SD card and formatted it. Then added the rom zip and gapps zip to the sdcard.
I then reset to factory settings, then installed the rom and the gapps, then i reset factory again.
Then i would remove the sdcard and reboot and the rom would start to load...
I tried 3 different roms, cm7 mirage, phiremod and an ics rom... all 3 do the same thing, extremely slow and practically everything force closes... I cant even reboot to recovery, it seems like it stayed on the sdcard and didnt install to the nook...
Noob questions:
Should I have rooted it first?
Does it have to have an sdcard?
What can I do?
Thanks a million in advance!

I don't think this for the "Android Development" subforum.
Anyways.. unless you have a Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD, or cards with similar performance characteristics, you will see stuff like that if you run from SD card because the card is just too damn slow for small writes.
Look for "4k random write" benchmarks. Get a card that scores high on that. It's important for approximately everything that's not a large video.
You can benchmark yourself under Windows with CrystalDiskMark for example.

dammit, you're right - i could've swore i was in the Q&A forum... can a mod please move this thread?
also, regarding the sdcard quality, I actually want it installed on the nook itself, i dont want to have to depend on an sdcard...

You don't need to root first. You also shouldn't be booting to CWM after burning the image or reformatting afterwards. Your description is vague so it sounds like you may be trying to make a bootable SD card instead of installing the ROM internally. Certainly the crashing issues sounds like a slow SD card running a bootable ROM.
To install internally start with a freshly formatted card. Burn the 3.2.01 CWM image to the card. Then copy and paste the ROM zip (CM7, CM9, MIUI or whatever) and the Google apps zip files on the card. Do not unzip the files and do not put them in any folder.
Safely eject the card from the pc, insert it into the Nook and power up. Wipe data/system, clear the cache partition, go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. This ensures you are totally clean for the ROM.
Next choose install zip from SD card. Then flash the ROM zip. Choose install zip from SD card again and flash the Gapps zip. Then unmount the card in the menu and remove the card and choose reboot. Or you can hold the power button for a few seconds to power down, remove the card and then power up.
You should now be in your new ROM installed to internal memory. Follow the official thread for the detailed instructions.

Are you using an internal card reader to burn the image? Use a cheap usb card reader. And be sure to use win32diskimager in administrator mode.

What @leapinlar is saying is that the built in reader is part of the problem. Get a little <$5 reader and use that to make the SD card.

The problem is the OP doesn't provide enough info. Before we offer help, pls do tell us what your intention?
1. Install CM? into eMMC (a.k.a. internal memory) or
2. Run CM? from uSD (a.k.a. external memory card).
Provide solid info then you will get more help that lead you to the right direction.

Maybe. Others have had problems using an internal reader. Just try a cheap usb card reader and see.

...I had the cwm image on my 8gb sd.. correctly. BUT also had the ROM zip and GAPPS zip on the very same card! somehow the clockworkmod would get stuck. I started over with the cwm image on one card, and the zips on another one... worked fine then.

thats how i did it initially... i'd write the img to the sdcard, boot up in cwm no problem... take out the sdcard, format it, put the roms in the sdcard, then put the sdcard back in the NC... install the zips... installed fine... then massive force closes... i will try again, when i get home...

And we are using CWM 3.2.0.1...

U8800 pro serious problem

Ok lets start from the beginning:
I was trying to upade from 2.2.2 official to 2.3 official and now i'm messed up because after the step : "upgrade sd card" my phone restarted and my usb cabel was still on and phone started charging,after that i tried to turn on my phone.It worked but after 20secs my screens freezes and cant do anything even turn off i need to take battery out,also phone not detects my sim card...
Any idea? My phone is rooted,have installed CWM5.0.2.3,but have no backup only public one...But i can't mount usb storage because i get error like "E:Unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)
ANY IDEAS????
I can get to pinkscreen aswell

If you have an external sd card put the public backup there and try to restore via cwm (if you get boot till there). You can also try the update procedure(the dload folder and stuff) but put them in the external sd card! The phone should boot from there.
Anyway,better wait for more answers since I'm not the best in here.I just know how to flash some custom roms.

sorry for dumb question but microsd = external sd? if yes - then i placed the backup in the card but in cwm only phone memory shows no sdcard...
Edit: external i got that

well it actually is an external microsd card
did you manage to restore via cwm?
P.S. if cwm doesn't see your se card go to advaced->reboot into recovery
should be able to see it now

When i do "reboot into recovery" my phone double restarts and 2nd time it turns on normally not into recovery...

Don't know why this is done,but I think we should be happy that your phone isn't bricked
Maybe someone else here can help you and provide better solutions than mine

Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639761.
Has a link in it to how I solved my issue of constant reboots.
Also , since you can load pink screen, you can connect through usb and change your recovery to 5.0.2.7. That's the one i used. Make sure that you have a cust.img file in the "image" folder. That is where the recovery should be too but am guessing you already know that.
If for some reason you dont have cust.img you can find and download a generic version in these forums. Did not need it so I did not bookmark the post I found it in but I think it was the Kalo's Honor Port thread in the pro development section.

Hi,
Look HERE
Try PhilZ recovery.
Make sure you choose the correct variant of the phone.
Use the "Clean phone for new ROM "option.
If it fails ,try again from scratch.
Sometimes it takes a few goes.

Hey I've tried this 10 times but it didn't work .

Hi, try downloading the ROM onto your internal storage and flashing that way. If it works, then you may have a problem with your sd card

I mean make a folder on your internal storage called 'ROMS' or whatever
Download your ROM on your computer and using your preferred file explorer, transfer the zip into the ROMS folder you made earlier in your internal storage.
Boot into recovery and Factory Reset, then flash zip from your internal storage.
If this works, then you may have a problem with your external sd card
