[Q] CWM Error mounting /sdcard!

I used the NVflash root method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714, but when I tried to update CWM from v3.0.2.8 to v3.1.0.1 it can't mount the sdcard. Every solution I've seen says that you need to format the sdcard but I can't format it using Windows because it views it as a media device and I can't format it from CWM because it needs to mount it to format it. Any ideas on how I can get it working? Or should I try flashing roms by another method?
Pic shows all the different things I've tried and the messages that it produced.

take a micro sd card and put it in
go into recovery and go down to advanced
repartition the micro sd card
reboot
put what evere you want to flash in the micro sd card and flash

take your sdcard out and use SD Formatter 3.0 to format it. Now try re-flash the new CWM.

I repartitioned it but now I can't add anything to it. The TF can't find the card and my computer can't read it.

I formatted it, it worked. Now to get it to stop aborting the roms I'm trying to install. Thanks guys

no reboot with SD

i flashed kyrillos v6 and partitioned sd with cwm. now my g3 dont boot if the sd card is plugged in. if i plug in sd after boot the ext partition is not shown in titanium backup. HELP please.

same problem with kyrillos' rom v5.7 +fugumod ultra kernel+ apps to sd.

i fixed it. i partitioned again with cwm and now it works fine!

Tried repartitioning, didn't help for me. I will try reflashing rom to v6.0 and partitioning sd again.

I had the same problem but what I did is
1) removed sd card and wiped all partition with sd formatter on pc
2) then reflashed kyrillos v6.0
3) and then re partitioned sd card using CWM
.............try it worked for me!!!!!!!

After partioning, keep doing a data wipe with SD card in phone in CWM till the phone boots up.

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

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.

Recovery can't mount SD after marshmallow adoption

Guys please I need help. I am with an unofficial CM13 rom. Everything was fine until trying to flash Xposed I realized that my recovery can't mount the SD I have earlier formatted as internal. Wanted marshmallow so much especially because of that SD adoption. But didn't know that will make unable to use my custom recovery after that. Any suggestions?

You can always reformat your SD...

Formatting SD as internal in MM will cause that you can just use the SD Card on Android 6 as Internal. Recovery wont recognize, that its an SD Card. You could reformat SD as external again and than you should be able to use SD Card in recovery again. But I guess that shouldnt be a problem bec you can flash files from internal (which is also ur SD Card) too.
