Hey guys,
In CWM there is an option in saying mount storage. But when i select that the phone wont show up in my PC as it used to in my old phone(Galaxy S). Why is that? How to access folders while in CWM recovery mode?
Thanks
Maybe there are some missing drivers?
You could use adb to access the folders, it should even work when the normal MSC mode, mounting in cwm, is not working

I have reinstalled the drivers but still not working. By the way, Adb is working.

Hi all,
I've come from Desire S which is a little different from this one when it come to flashing a roms it seems.
I'm unable to mount my sd card in recovery after a full wipe to put the zip onto it, I can do side load and have my custom rom on now but needless to say when in recovery i like to put my zips there and now cant.
I've noticed I don't have a 4EXT folder on my sd either if that means anything.
Help
What recovery are you using. You won't see a 4ext folder because there is no 4ext recovery for Nexus 4

You can't.
The nexus 4 doesn't use ums storage.
It uses mtp which can't be mounted in recovery.
You can always use adb with
Adb push ROM.zip /sdcard

Rgr guys thanks for the info just a new way of transferring then compared to DS.
Folks - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was trying to instal CM-10.1 on my U8800, copied the file downloaded from here on my SD card and used CWM to install. Forgot to make a backup (Noob mistake ).
The software didn't fully install and now the the problem is that while I can access both CWM Mod Recovery and the pink screen, I am unable to mound the external sd card (cannot write to ums lunfile) and neither are the drives showing up when I connect to the pc via USB in pink screen.
Very worried on how to install a rom as both internal and external sd cards are inaccessible by pc and phone respectively.
You can use adb push while cwm is running.

I'm not sure how to do that. I've just done a few google searches, not sure if I have the right results. Would you have any link/tutorial ?
If you haven't done so already, download and install the Android SDK from developer.google.com.
What you want from it is the debug driver and adb.
Then boot your device into CWM and connect it to computer, use the debug driver from the SDK.
Mount internal storage in CWM and check its mount location.
Open the folder where adb.exe is located on your computer and copy your ROM.zip to that folder.
Open a command prompt there and type "adb devices", your device should show up in the list.
Then type "adb push ROM.zip /mnt/sdcard/ROM.zip" to copy the file. (replace /mnt/sdcard if your internal storage is mounted elsewhere)
Good luck and be careful, I'm just trying to help but I'm not responsible if you do something without using some common sense.

So I was about to flash a ROM and I had too many things on storage and cleaned and wiped everything. I then went on to use Format Data, hoping that it will only delete files and not the OS too. So now it deleted the OS and I'm stuck between bootloader or recovery mode and I can't seem to find a way to copy the zip file to my internal storage. Tried adb using cmd but it's not recognized and I'll have to dowload Google's SDK. This in turn will take about 2 hours and I'd really like to fix the problem ASAP. Anything I could do please?
Thanks and much appreciated.
You could always go to recovery, Mount your sd card and copy the file that way. Or setup fast boot and flash the stock image, or even just push the rom file through adb. You have a few options.

Adb-toolkit is in the folder but cmd is not recognizing it unfortunately. And through TWRP I have no option to mount USB... usb-otg doesn't work...
Anyone please? I have no idea what to do at this point and I'm pretty much phone-less...
Hi all,
I tried to switch from cm10.2 to crDroid today.
What I did:
- Switched to TWRP recovery
- Installed crDroid
- Cleared data, cache
When I rebooted, the sdcard seems to be reformatted.
However when I checked the partition using "df" command,
it shows that "/mnt/shell/emulated" uses up 9GB out of 12
i.e. my original sdcard usage.
Can anyone help me identify what happened?
Or how can I recover all those files from the sdcard?
Thanks a lot!!!
UPDATE:
I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEY ARE IN \data\lost+found
ARE THERE ANY WAYS TO RESTORE THEM?

With a root explorer, go to /data/media/0. What do you find there?
it goes to the new formatted sdcard...

Did you have encryption enabled before you flashed?

I was using a pattern lock before flashing. It requires pin/pw to encrypt the phone right?

It does, but just pattern lock doesn't mean encryption. Can you copy the data to a PC?
Yes when I connect to the PC I am able to copy the present data existing in the "new SD" (~200 MB of data)
But the disk info still tells me there is ~10GB data
Thanks To solid broWser, I discovered that all of my files are in lost+found folder.
Are there any ways to return all those files to their original form?

Just use MTP and put the rom in the root of the internal sd card
I've been stuck in Clockworkmod recovery and cannot access thru ADB, if only my phone is working i can use MTP. Any ideas how can i resolve this?
