Have you mount it in TWRP?

I tried to mount SD card but the X does not stay on when I try to pick it. When I click on external SD , it only shows " up a level"
The card works fine when using any of the ROMs and can be seen no problem, it just doesn't show in recovery.
I USD the same card on my note 3 and did not have a problem.

Can't Mount SD Card in CWM 5.x!

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.
I find it kinda strange, because once I reboot my tablet, everything's working fine, but it's not letting me install a custom rom
And yes, I have...
1. Unlocked by booloader.
2. Rooted my phone along with installing superuser.
3. Installed CWM recovery through fastboot (or whatever it's called, lol)
Has anyone gone through the same thing?
Bump....
Cm on guys I really need to get this rolling ...
What class SD Card are you using? I have issues with CWM on this Tablet reading anything above a class 6. I have a Class 10 SD Card that I have to swap Out and put in a different slower class card to flash roms and what not so I personally have had to deal with this because of the speed. Anyway hope that helps you out.
I'll try another sd card and see if it work out. Thanks for the advice!!
Bump. Using a different SD card didn't work, unfortunately

Back up all ur SD card files to PC
In CWM, you will find a Advance/ partition Sd card
Use this and make a 128 mb one, Reboot to CWM and CWM will recognize your card.

thank you very much....really helpful
Please help me i have a similar problem. I tried to partition it and it worked but it wouldnt recognize my sd card. Idk what happened maybe i formatted by mistake and now i dont have a system (or atleast it wouldnt boot up) and i have a cwm that doesnt mount recovery so i cant flash.
please someone help me! i need my phone
FIXED!
Nevermind. I did it wrong. U were supposed to partition sd card make it 128-128 and then while still in advanced setting restart launcher. Then you have to go to mount the card manually through mounts and storage.
if you just shut down the device it wouldnt work.
thank you for helping me fix this demonntl

What ROM are you using?
By the way, android needs to format a new sdcard so it can be used to store data on.

aurora ics. i want to get back to stock 2.3.5 cause can't stand the battery drain any more but i can't as bootloader doesn't recognize the sd card
So your sdcard is pretty much completely dead? Can your computer recognize your SD card? If your pc can recognize it but your phone can not then you should send your phone to service. Also try reformatting the SD card and installing Aurora ICS by doing a clean install through your internal SD card.
EDIT: You can install zips from internal SD card using TWRP v2.5.0.0 by forumber2.

Hey. Thanks for your reply. Yes computer recognizes the card just fine. I tried formating the card but don't work. There are times when card is being recognized but not for too long. And that happens to recovery mode.Can u give me steps or link to flash rom via internal sd?

Ask someone on the u8800 forum. I have a u8800pro sorry. I'm assuming that you have to move the zip into your internal memory, then install twrp 2.5.0.0 and choose install zip from internal memory.

yeah, the thing is that i cannot use my internal memory. when i try to download the rom from my phone it asks for sd and when i try to move rom from sd to internal sd it says error. i also tried to make my internal sd card "external sd card" but when i try to safe the system/etc file it says it can't be saved
Why don't you download the ROM to your computer and move it to your internal SD card with a USB cable?

I realised it is my new sd card. Its micro sd too but a little different in shape. So I just used a tape to get it well attached to the port. Now everything works good

[Q] Class 10 SD Memory card problem

hello recently i bought samsung galaxy s4 GT I9500.
I bought a 16gb micro sd class-10 from japan. When i insert it in my s4 it shows the blank sd card and request to format it. I used this sd card in my previous version s3 and s2. All shows ok. Even when i insert this sd card in another any mobile it shows ok. But it dose not work in S4. I already tried this SD card in other S4. They shows the same problem.
So my question is......is the S4 did not support class 10? or any other way that i can use my SD card in S4?
One think I have to tell you that I already Update my S4 via kies. Before and after up gradation problem is same.

Just remove the micro sdcard from the phone and put it into an adaptor so you
can plug it into your computer, after that format the card using FAT32 only.
Once you do that it will work just fine in any phone including any galaxy S4.
Good luck with it.

Have you formatted the card using phone..??
Do format it using Setting -> Storage -> Format memory card. DON'T format if using any file explorer.

Here is a good way to find out what the problem is.
Install a file manager from the play store if you don't already have
one and see if it recognizes the externel sdcard if it does then go
into cwm recovery mode and see if you can read the external sdcard.
If you can access the sdcard using your file manager but not cwm recovery
or rom manager then the fault is with cwm recovery or rom manger and
perhaps you need to get the latest versions.
What I would do is to go to the playstore and get "goomanager"
which is free download and use that to flash TWRP recovery which
is a full touch recovery system and which will recognize your sdcard.
TWRP has all the options and features which cwm has and even more.
When you are in goomanager just click the menu key and
select "installopenrecoveryscript".
Once it gets done flashing, select "reboot recovery" in goomanager
and it will boot to TWRP recovery.
Good luck!

External Micro SD read only file system- (Only in recovery)

Hi,
I have tried a couple of cards in my Note 4 and they work fine within the OS and fine if i uses them in my PC - i can read and write to the cards but when i go into recovery i can't make a backup or install a rom from the external SD, i always get a message saying the card is read only and installs or backups fail?
I have formatted the card to all formats and it makes no difference.
Anybody got any ideas to to fix this as i am running out of space on my internal.
I have used Phils recovery and am currently using the latest version of TWRP.
Thanks for any help.
