[Q] [SOLVED] Flashing rom from Internal SD

Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.

recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.

I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

I was on stock froyo V10a, anyway after a couples of tries a notification that the sd card was corrupted popped and gave me the option to format it once again, this time it worked.
So solved, thanks guys.

i tried that still wont work. could it be a rewrite demon on the sd. the cwm on the cm7-2.0.7 can read my sd i dont understand why the cwm in the ics kernel cant. ive put cm9 on 3 other x8s and ive never had this problem.

turn on your phone without sdcard first..
then use card reader to check your sdcard..check the format is FAT not NTFS
put those files in your sdcard..
after that turn off your phone, and insert your sdcard and turn it on again! :laugh:

mount sd-card
ok, i think i figured this out, and i have had to register in order to share my findings. i was having the exact same problem, bootloader unlocked the kernel flashed and couldn't access the sdcard.
what i did...this worked for me with a 2gb sdcard
1. in the clockwork menu partitioned a 1024 partition and if i remember correctly the 256 swap. it takes about 1 minute dont worry if nothing seems to be happening.
2. i was then able to mount usb storage
3. passed the rom and gapps to sdcard through usb, and installed from sd no probs
4. after configuring minicm went back to try and partition the full size of the sd card but wasnt able to for some reason. maybe some light could be shed??
hope ive helped anyone and thaks to this thread.

Buddy you are awesome and a life saver for me!

[Q] sdcard0 corrupt

I tried taking a picture yesterday, as it was taking my phone crashed and rebooted. Usually I don't find this to be a big deal, but when it rebooted the phone came up with a notification that "Blank SD card: SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem." When I click on that it says "Format SD card? All data on your card (under path '/storage/sdcard0') will be erased. This action can't be reversed!"
Although I believe sdcard0 is internal memory, I backed up my sd card just in case by plugging the micro sd card (32 gb patriot class 10, about 22 months old) into my computer and it read just fine, so I copied all the data off of it, formatted the sd card, copied all the data back on, and turned on my phone. I still get the same error and can run ES File Explorer and it shows all my data on the sd card in /storage/sdcard1 (although opening up the Gallery app shows "No external storage available" but opening up pics from ES File Explorer still shows them behind the message). Just to confirm, sdcard0 is the internal memory right? If I format sdcard0 will that format my entire rom? Am I better off wiping and reflashing? I don't think I have anything important on the internal memory.
I'm running cm-10.1-20130806 (waiting to upgrade to 4.3 when Bluetooth is working).

Wiping internal memory worked fine, thanks again for the help. I thought I would have more free time to try out your pac rom, hopefully I can get around to flashing this weekend.

Dunno what to tell ya. It worked for me the entire time while on vacation. Make sure to click bluetooth and go into the deeper settings and turn it on in there.

[Q] Cannot flash zips from self-compiled ClockworkMod

I compiled ClockworkMod myself and flashed it to my P970 running CyanogenMod, but now I can't flash zips. When I try to mount the sdcard, I receive an error: "E: cannot mount /sdcard". This device's storage is of course located in /storage/sdcard0, so I suspect that might be the problem.

I don't think that this is the problem. Try to clean sdcard then reboot in recovery. If it doesn't mount, share your recovery with me, I will test if it works

I formatted the SD card from inside CyanogenMod, but now I can't mount it at all. If I choose "Mount SD card" in the settings, it briefly flashes the stuff on the card, and then says "Safe to remove SD card". I performed a factory reset, but it still doesn't work.

What version have you compiled?
//Edit
I remember that to get a fully working recovery for our device you need to edit some files in the device tree, maybe you need to edit some .fstab files or BoardConfig.mk, Evisceration has already compiled cwm for p970, you could ask him for help.
//Edit2
To edit .fstab files (maybe you should edit recovery.fstab) look at gingerbread's device tree.

6.0.3.6, but that doesn't solve the problem with the SD card, which I now can't mount at all. I tried plugging in the USB cable but my computer can't see the card. I may just have to buy an adapter from PC to SD. This thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/55182/cannot-mount-sd-card-with-error-sd-card-safe-to-remove says to format it with a PC, but that's for a different device.

Do you mean that you can't mount it even when you're running Cyanogenmod?

Yes. After I formatted the SD card, I can't mount it even in CyanogenMod. In the settings, I select "mount SD card", but it doesn't mount, and I get a notification "Safe to remove SD card".

It could also be a hardware problem, just to be sure send me your recovery or post your sources.
//Edit
I have compiled cwm 6.0.4.6 using 4.3 device tree and everything works good.

EDIT:
So, the good news is I solved the main problem. I changed the file "recovery.fstab" to have the other possible partition for the SD card, recompiled, and flashed. Lo and behold, it worked! I can now flash zips from the SD card in ClockworkMod.
But I still can't mount the SD card within CyanogenMod. I know I can flash zips with
Code:
adb sideload
if need be, but I would still very much like to be able to store pictures, etcetera, in that 8 GB of space.
EDIT 2:
I went to the store and bought myself an SD card adapter. I used that to format the card, but now I can't even access it from ClockworkMod.

I flashed your recovery and SD card works.
Which file system is your SD card using now?
If you flash a stock based rom from sideload, can you format SD from settings?

I bought a new SD card for $28 and everything works now. Note to self: never format SD card again.

[Q] Cannot find internal sdcard. :/

-SOLVED BY USING ODIN, AND FLASHING A STOCK ROM-
Samsung GT-S5830
So i installed some custom GB rom a long time ago on my friends phone.
Now he gave it back to me because nothing was working anymore.
The problem is when i try to open the file manager in the phone it says there is no internal sdcard, furthermore in the settings at partition settings it shows me:
/system 183mb/ 206mb
/data 65mb/178 mb
/cache 4mb/ 25mb
/sdcard (FAT) 0.00B / 0.00B
/ext-sdcard (EXT) unavailable (not 1 in the phone)
As you can see, the phone acts like it has no internal storage at all wich make it impossible to put anything on the phone.
I have tried using ODIN to flash a factory default rom, but my computer does not recoqnize the device when i put it in download mode. so that does not work.
I however installed the lastest TWRP, to try making my own partitions in there but that also did not work.
after that i downloaded cm11, put it on a external sd card and flashed the rom.
this all worked fine, but still NO INTERNAL SDCARD.
I am guessing that my friend has been screwing with some files or whatever.
Anyone got any tips?

Why your sdcard have FAT format instead of FAT32?
Try to backup it using a PC and then format it in FAT32, but forget ext partitions for the moment

Sir, it is impossible to format an INTERNAL sd card just simply by connecting it to a pc. You are talking about external sd cards here. (that's just part of the memory the phone internal has, there is no physical sd card here).
Anyway, i fixed the problem by flashing stock rom in odin wich has reformarted, and partitioned, it correctly.
