Guys, all of a sudden CWM can't mount the sdcard. I wiped the data in order to install Vanir's ROM. I was previously on Rayglobe's. Is there anyway to come outta this? I'm desperate guys, please help me. I don't want this costly phone to become a brick! It's D802 BTW.

Sorry,correct me if my knowledge was wrong - but how u want to mount a SD-Card when the phone has no slot for it?
Hi,
Yes, you can't mount sdcard in recovery with phones without sdcard (the recovery can't mount the link to the internal memory, even if it's called sdcard), if you have an USB OTG cable you can mount your external sdcard and make backup or put into it some flashable zip's...
If you wiped data, why you want to mount your sdcard , you have your rom in the internal memory so just flash it...

Internal storage is named "sdcard", even though that doesn't make any sense. I've Nexus 4 and it shows the same thing too.

I used to flash other ROMs through "sdcard" from CWM menu before, it was working perfectly until now. There's also "external_sdcard" sub-menu too.

Hum... No need to mount your sdcard to flash your rom... Like I said external sdcard is if you use an USB OTG cable, it's the link for your external USB storage.
In CWM navigate to the sdcard then where you put your rom, simple...
But if you wiped your sdcard in recovery, it will be harder for sure...
Or I don't understand what you mean
So I flashed TWRP D802 ver. from Flashify, but now I can't even do a factory reset as it says that it cannot mount /data. Now I can't wipe nor can I install a zip from TWRP. Please help me.
Just flash stock. Go to general section. "Go back to stock"

By default, CWM makes a backup to my external sdcard. The only problem with that is my sdcard is 1GB, which is a little under the total size of the backup, and so the whole backup doesn't complete. One solution would probably be to remove the external sdcard and run CWM so that the default storage location would be the internal sdcard, but that's annoying. There should be a way to specify the backup location.
EDIT: I removed the external SDcard, and now I get the error E: Can't mount /sdcard. So I guess it won't use the internal card if it can't find the external one... So I pretty much can't backup my ROM. And the problem can't be that it doesn't see the internal SDcard, because I can go to choose zip from internal sdcard and it will show the folders from the internal card.
If you using romracers cwm you have options for both..

Sorry I should have specified. I flashed CWM from ROM Manager. I guess I'll try out romracer's cwm.
EDIT: Yup, romracer's cwm work's great, and it was easy to flash.
So this was solved by using a tool from sdcard.org to format my sdcard in a PC. Once formatted with that tool cwm started seeing correctly.

I'm running 3.1 rooted
I've flashed Thor's 1.4.2 recovery.
I have two sd cards: a 2g and an 8g.
Both work when accessed on a PC and on the iconia.
Neither work in cwm so I can't flash any roms.
I have tried formatting the sdcards on two different PCs. for the 2g I tried both fat and fat32. The 8g is fat32. In every case cwm says it can't mount it.
Additionally, I can't seem to use a USB key, although that may be that i don't know how to use it.
Thanks for any help.

When in CWM and you go to install zip from sdcard do you see any folders where you choose the zip. Just wondering if it isn't mounted already. Physical sdcard is in /mnt/external_sd
and not /mnt/sdcard.

Thanks for your reply. I'm prety sure It's not mounted already.
I'm attaching a screenshot to show the exact message I get when trying to browse for a zip. I get a similar message when I go to mounts and storage and try to mount the sdcard.
im bumping this because I'm really becoming concerned that the device is defective in some way.
I'm hoping that someone can give me some guidence on what I may be doing wrong.
So, brosell, did you figure out a solution? I have the exact same problem - cannot mount sdcard in recovery and I get the exact same message.
When the system is booted normally, the internal storage mounts ok as /sdcard
EDIT:
It seems CWM treats the external sdcard as /sdcard, not the internal storage. So, to flash an update, you need to place it on an external SD card
I always get that error, and I never had to mount anything using cwm, just booted it selected the zip to flash and flash. I still don't mount anything...?
And the zip goes on the external sd not the inturn
Can't format SC Card in Window. If won't mount.
Guys,
Unfortunately SD cards for Android must be formatted by Android. If the card is not properly formatted CWM can not mount it, nor can CWM format it. The best way to get it properly formatted is to put it into an Android Phone and use its format functions. There really is no way on the Icona Tab to reformat an improperly formatted card or a new formatted card. If you don't have an Android phone borrow a friends. You will know that it is properly formatted when you see a lost files folder created on the card by the Android phone formatting process. This is a common problem that many people encounter when performing their first ROM flash. If it was formatted under windows as FAT 32 you can access it and store on it in normal operation mode. But ClockWorkMod can not mount it in recovery mode. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Can mount SD card in Recovery
I should have also mentioned last night in my post here, that my experience has been that it is much easier to flash a new custom ROM from a USB thumb drive. Flashing a custom ROM from USB seems to be less problematic than from an SDCard that appears otherwise to be good and formatted with FAT32, but CWM can't mount it. You can fast format the thumb drive on Windows to clean it off. Then copy your custom .zip ROM to be flashed on to the thumb drive from within Windows then insert it into the USB port of your Icona Tab, boot into CWM recovery (I'm assuming you know how to do that so I won't go into it here.) I forget exactly where in the CWM menu it is, it might be under the CWM advanced sub-menu but it say's something to the effect of Install zip from USB. It always works for me with no problem. The advantage is that you do all your prep work on Windows and then flash from the thumb drive which I believe has an ISO standard across all platforms and usually comes already per-formatted. This is an alternative method if you can't get your SDCard properly formatted (see my previous post in this thread for how to get it properly formatted so that it will mount under CWM.) Again, good luck!
I want to cry!!
I tried re formatting! Nothing! Cmw is not on sd card! Nothing is working! Still stuck on acer start screen! Yes i am a noob! But i read alot into this stuff b4 i do it! I wish there was someone i can have come to my house and do this for me! I have tried everything!!!!!!!!!!! So frustrated!!! Someone pls help me!!!!
in CWM recovery, there are 2 options,sd and "internal sd" i think(for me atleast). i chose the internal sd and it mounts.

thanks brosell, for the solution,
I have a 512MB SD card in the g5360, was FAT formatted. reformatting the sdcard with the tool from sdcard.org worked for me as well, afterwards it could be mounted by the stock recovery
and could install update.zip (prior to install CMW)

Good Evening Everyone,
I am opening up this thread because I am not able to use the Backup Current Rom feature in my Nook Color using ext3 or ext4 file system on my micro-sd card.
Is there any way to fix this problem without using fat32?
This is what happen:
I select Backup Current Rom
The nook restarts
Waiting for SD card to mount
Can't mount SD card...
Bye and thank you very much in advance
Nook Color using Cyanogen mod 7

This sounds like you are running CM7 off of SD... you DO NOT use CWM for SD installs.
If you are not running off of SD... then I'd make sure you have the current version of CWM (3.2.0.1) and try mounting the SD from the menu's before trying anything else.
Hi, First of all, thanks for answering to my inquiry
Yes I run CM7 on from the internal memory of the Nook Color and yes, I am running CWM (3.2.0.1).
If I mount the sd card from the menu settings->storage->Mount SD Card, the sd card is mounted without any problems... The problem is when I try to Backup Current Rom
I tried also to reboot manually in recovery mood and do:
mounts and storage
mount /sdcard and I get Error mounting /sdcard!

Assuming you have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD.
Plug it into the NC, when powering up, it should be automatically booted into CwM Recovery. From there, do the Backup.
No need to mount SD card. In fact, don't know why you would do that?

1- How do I know if I have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD?
I have the one that comes with the CM7 updated to 3.2.0.1.
2- I went on ROM Manager ->Backup Current ROM but still, when I am in the recovery mode and I click on
backup and restore -> backup
I get the message Can't mount /sdcard
I have also tried to turn on the nook and enter into the recovery mode by pressing the n key but still, I get Can't mount /sdcard when I try to backup my ROM.
What do I do wrong?
P.S. In case my CwMR is not good, how do I remove it?

Ehhhh, honestly, no clue what you're trying to say.
Anyway, let's start from scratch.
Firstly, pls let us know your current system such ROM version, where it boots from, .....
Secondly, what are you trying to do? Make a backup?

It boots from eMMC (I think... I installed the ROM in the Internal Memory)

I am trying to make a backup on my micro-sd that has an ext4 file system
Bye and thank you very much.
Clear!
Now, if you did install ROM into eMMC yourself, then I assume you know how to create a flashable CwMR uSD and it is good.
Assuming the flashable uSD is fresh and good.
1. Insert the uSD into NC. Power it up. It will boot into recovery AUTOMATICALLY.
2. From the CwMR menu, using volume up/down button to to Advanced, then Backup. Let it run until finishes. Theoretically, the entire backup .zip file should be around 100MB.
3. Remove the uSD off NC.
4. The backup .zip file should probably be in the "clockworkmod" folder under ROOT. Transfer it to PC or other space to save.
That's it.
There is absolutely no need dealing with "mount SD" or "ext3" or "ext4"
I have successfully rebooted into recovery but I can not mount the SD card to ROM this thing. I have read through a bunch of threads and to little help. So could someone please throw me a bone here? Thank you.
What your mean u cant mount, is it doesnt detect your sdcard.
so what your sdcard partition?
and what ROM are u using...
It will not detect the SD in CWM. I am not sure of the partition. I am using the stock ICS ROM.
If you are talking about the microSD card, some versions of CWM will not mount it. Some will only use internal memory. I'm guessing that is a big part of your issue.
Ok. What version of CWM do I need to use to see my microSD card?
fixed it.
I have this same problem. How did You fix that problem? At the moment I can't make a backup in CWM
I didnt bother doing a backup. I went into CWM and used the oldest version it would let me. Then I could see the internal SD. It wasnt until I booted as you would a ROM the CWM fixed for the TF101 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723. This is the one that worked for me.
My Moto G4 Plus doesn't detect the internal storage in the recovery . I even tried using the PC but even on that the internal storage doesn't show up...I can't do anything with my phone now as no updates or installation to the ROM can be made and booting to the ROM is resulting in a bootloop..Someone please find a solution.

Check if internal storage is mounted in recovery [ TWRP recovery > Mount > select /data partition ]
If still not?
Have you tried downloading files on external storage?
Move files to external memory card or USB OTG stick and mount them in recovery and try to flash.

Internal storage dead
I had same issue with one of my previous phone, turns out internal storage was dead and only solution was to change motherboard.
But don't spend a buck on this phone now. Time for a new phone ,party!!

You might try flashing the stock ROM in fastboot. If that doesn't fix things, little else will.
Before you ask for a link, use the search function on the forum.
Try this!
Flash the stock Recovery and then do a factory reset! and then check if the internal is showing up! did you encrypt your phone??
