Hello there
I was wondering, can the internal sd card can be mounted with CWM?
If so, can you provide the button count to do it?
I have a S4 with a broken LCD, and I want to retrieve the data, but since I can't enter the passcode, not kies or windows see the files.
I managed to root it and flash CWM but now I got stuck and I just don't remember if I can't mount the internal SD with CWM

install android sdk if you dont have it.
boot your phone into cwm and connect to pc.
open cmd line where adb file exist, and type:
Code:
adb devices
you must see your serial number with recovery
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
when it finish, "sdcard" folder in "c" directory

So, after some struggling with the adb drivers I got the device detected by adb and gave this a try, but I think I hit another wall.
sdcard showed 0 files, so I entered the shell and realized the sdcard was not mounted.
I tried to mount it by running mount /sdcard/ but it says sdcard can't be found in fstab{
This is what my fstab has:
cat fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system ext4 rw
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I'm thinking that maybe CWM didn't flash correctly (I did it from Odin, and since I'm going blindly there is no way for me to know for sure)

did you try this
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard

I did. That's when it said that /sdcard/ coudn't be found in /etc/fstab
****************************
UPDATE
I got it to work.
If anyone is interested, this is how I mounted the sdcard
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /sdcard/
where mmcblk0p21 is the partition that sdcard usually mounts.
After that, it was a simple as exiting the shell and run
Code:
pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
as recommended above

So last night I installed the newest JAC Hero build and it was forcing close on google maps and a few others. In the thread it said to format your ext2 partition so I used paragon and I thought I formated it but now It wont get past the HTC screen. I can go to recovery and fastboot but when i try to push any new update it just updates to the hero rom again. Also if I use ls to list the files it shows nothing in /sdcard but obviously it has stuff since it still will flash the hero rom fine. How can I make a new update override this one when I push it to the phone? I dont have a card reader so I have to use my phone.
You must have your FAT32 partition first, the big one,where you put your update.zip and then a ext2 or ext3 partition of ≈500mb.
have you respect this order ?
Yes, I have a 1gb card and my 600mb fat32 is first then a 400mb ext2.
When you are in adb your ext2 partition is /system/sd
More than likely you need to do this part from my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874
Delete existing apps on SD
Code:
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app-private

You have 500mb of bacon?!?!
When I try those commands it says no such directory or file for both.
EDIT: I just got it fixed with these commands from brandenk's thread:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell rm /sdcard/update.zip
adb push *filename* /sdcard/update.zip

if you are in recovery you first need to mount the ext partition:
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

Ok, so I thought it was fixed but it was stuck at the android screen. Im guessing because of my apps still on the card? When I tried your command it said no such file or directory also so I did mkdir /system/sd and tried again and it said invalid argument.
I got it into android now with the sd card out when i turned it on. So now is there any way i can completly wipe the sd card of all partitions from in windows so I can start over?
EDIT: Got it formatted from the sd card settings on the phone lol... now I can start over thanks for all your help.
I'm hoping someone could help me with loading JAC's 2.2 Hero rom
I've never had any problems updating, but I had never tried a hero rom before
When trying to update i get this error
"Copying files...
E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin
(No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 12:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0
6755 SYSTEM:xbin
Installation aborted"
Anyone know whats causing this?
There's a handful of people also experiencing this issue
I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to put an update (nighty) on an sd card without having to remove the card and attaching it to your computer.
I have wifi pro and that doesn't look like it allows me to do that and just hooking the nook to my pc doesn't look like it gives me the option either. Am I missing something?
I've haven't done myself yet but heard people mentioned about the app called "Root Explorer"??? or "Root Folder" or something with "root".
Download nightly build directly on the NC then use the app to drag the zip file over the "boot" partition.
I think it should be able to do, not done that myself.
The best I can offer is, if you eject the card long enough to start booting to stock, then re-insert it before stock fully loads (on one of the splash screens), the boot partition will be mounted as storage and you can connect to your PC by USB to drop an update file in there.
It might help you out if the issue is not having access to a card reader, but you still have to pop the card out and back in.
ETA: I never had any luck getting an update on the root of any SD, even one formatted for storage, using a file manager.
NookColorUMS allows you to mount any partition. Turn off compatibility mode in spare parts and then reboot to see app in full screen.

If you're running off of SD and adb is working then:
adb shell busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ***UPDATEFILE*** /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
If running from EMMC then:
adb shell busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ***UPDATEFILE*** /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
Hello all! New user here. I looked in the forums for this and can't find this question answered, but I am sure I missed it. My apologies before hand if that's the case.
I have a Nook with a 16GB SanDisk card with CM7 running off the card itself, which allows me to dualboot back to the original Nook software if I want to.
My question is this. Is there a way to automatically update CM7 and/or Google Apps without copying them to my Sd card on my PC, booting into recovery, etc?
I know there's the paid version of Rom Manager, but if I read that correctly, that only works when the Nook has CM7 running on the Nook directly and not on the SD card?
Thanks in advance for your time!
You can use adb and mount the boot partition to an empty folder on the partition CM7 sees as the SD card and push the nightly to that location... then just use adb's reboot recovery command...
(FIRST TIME ONLY) adb shell mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push (UPDATE FILE) /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
Thanks!
I will give this a try! Let's see if I can not break my root.

Hi all,
i formatted my sdcard with ext3, but CM7 doesn't mount it. I changed the 'vfat' in the fstab to 'ext3', but it still dosn't mount the card. I can manually mount it with 'mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard', but then I can only access /sdcard via Terminal Emulator or the adb shell. Root explorer says that it is not mounted although it is mounted. Does anybody know how to fix that?

Hey dude, I feel ya. I wanted to ext3 all the way, but google thought Android users would rather use fat for their sdcards so we're bound to trying to work around it. You might want to look at your sdcard permissions, check that you have "X" permissions for user, group and other, or just go crazy and do "chmod -R 777 /sdcard".
You could look into what this guy did: http://android.modaco.com/topic/308568-how-can-i-bind-mount-eg-systemsdxxx-sdcardxxx/#entry1511967
but I backed out mainly because it looks too much like more trouble than its worth.
Good luck!
Hi
Nexus 7 is rooted and trying to update ROM...Stuck on Google logo screen at start-up..
Can get into cwm recovery.
Trying to put rom in storage so I can flash it.
In the mounts and storage menu when i select mount /sdcard...Nothing happens.
When i select mount /system...the name changes to unmount /system
I just need to access the storage so i can flash my rom
I cannot see the flash storage on my computer when I select mount /sdcard or /system
So I tried just pushing the rom from adb.
#adb devices
#adb mount /sdcard (command does not work)
#adb mount /system (command does not work)
#adb push SmoothROM-v4.1.zip /sdcard/SmoothROM-v4.1.zip (just get back " _ " No transfer rates or anything)
Please help me flash this ROM
Thank You
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok I fixed it...I pushed the rom using qtadb....with that software i could see the filestructure...i pushed the file to /data/media (i think)...and i could find the zip from clockwork...rom just installed...works great...
Please can some clarify how the storage works in nexus 7? Where is the sdcard files? is it stored in /data/media ?
why did the adb mount command did not work?
Adb push (file name) /mnt/sdcard/(final directory of your choice)
Shouldn't need to mount anything
