Does anyone know if a 32gb sdcard would cause problems with cwm for Arc? The card itself is fine, formatted(a few times) to fat32, and I've tried with and without an ext4 partition for link2sd but anything I try to flash, or if I attempt to manually mount, format or partition via cwm(from dooms v15 kernel) it returns unable to mount. The card is fine, no data loss or corruption.

Works fine here.
Had to format it with the phone once untill cwm could mount it.

Like Flo95 said, try to format the sdcard again.
I'm also using a 32 GB and it works fine.
Strange. I've got no issues with the card i.e. when I switch off and try anything with cwm I get a message that says 'Error mounting /sdcard' , 'Can't mount /sdcard' or 'Can't mount backup path' but I still have all the data on the sd when I swich the phone on, there's no corruption or anything particularly unusual.
Take a backup of your sdcard and try to format it in CWM directly.
Can't do anything via cwm, just says unable to mount. Weirdly, the sd card now launches with pc companion/windows instantly, but the partition tool can't detect it...
Solved, re-formatted while in mass storage, partitioned via cwm. Thanks to all...

Odined 13-extended and still get "Can't mount SD card"
This problem seems to be common but haven't found a solution.
I have looked!!!
Any help would be great!
Clicked repartition in Odin...
Popped sd card in and out and rebooted
nothing
Solved: I had formatted my sd card way back when in my laptop. After reformatting in phone all is right with the world!
Are you using the three finger to get into cwm? That happens to me if I use quick boot cause of the redirector.
Yes...using three finger. CWM starts up just won't give me ext4.
It can't see sd card at all. Tried fixing permissions. Tried just about everything.
Also started with deoxed 13 and same result as soon as it gets to ext4 "can't mount sd card"
Wow I don't know then. It works fine for me using the three finger. Sorry. Good luck
If you are looking to go the EXT4 route, Odin back to stock EB13 and then run One-Click Root w/CWM3. That will convert your phone to EXT4.
[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13!
Tried that....used deodexed eb13. When cwm3 reboots and I restart withthree finger it should convert to EXT4 but it hangs and I get "Can't mount sd card"
Tried with stock EB13. victory_8G_100528.pit and SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 USB debugging checked.
File systems need to be converted to ext4.
A backup and restore will now take place.
If anything goes wrong, your backup will be named
before-ext4-convert-1298846544. Try restoring it
in case of error.
Can't mount /sdcard
Can't mount /sdcard
It just seems odd that CWM3 is the only prog having trouble with the card.
Tried a new sd card and same thing so it's not the card....
Hi all, i've a BIG problem.
Today, before installing ARHD 6.1.1 i've wiped all with SuperWipe and i format internal sd card with SDFormatter.

E: can't mount /sdcard
I can't mount via adb also
so i can't flash rom or switch on my phone!!
Can you help me, please?
flash the new recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Also did you have enterprise mail on your phone. If so, your phone SD will be encrypted. So you may have to format SD in recovery.
I've last recovery yet and i've trouble formatting sdcard via recovery:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
skipping format...
Done.

Did you try and format it as fat 32? and 32 k clusters?
Also what happens if you try and flash a stock Ruu onto it, that would probably tell the phone to reformat it.
I've formatted by PC in Recovery 5.8.4.0 after USB Mounting
The problem persists
I can't install RUU 'cause my HBOOT is 0.94 for 1.28.166.xx
The only RUU on line 166 (VODA CH-DE) is 1.26.166.xx
As the title suggests my SD card (Sandisk class 6 16GB) has been acting up as of late. Apps frequently crash en masse (Using Sandvold's ICS rom with A2SDX). When I put a new rom onto the root of the SD card and delete 0.16.1 (since it's broken), the new rom remains when flicking through windows on my desktop but when I enter recovery, the new rom (and any new folders I make- Which as soon as I make on the desktop and click to go into them, they're full of gibberish files and folders which when clicked spark up "Can't be opened" errors) disappear and 0.16.1 has reappeared (As if I hadn't touched the SD card at all). I try and counter the mass app crashing by restoring a previous backup but when it reaches "Restoring SD-ext" it brings up "Error while formatting /SD-ext" (But strangely rom installations flash to SD-Ext just fine without an error) (I'm using 4EXT recovery). Strangely the backup acts fine even with this error (but around every 3 days after a restore or update of apps, they crash again). If I try and format the Fat32 partition on Windows 7, regardless of a quick format or slow one, it always comes back with "unable to format" (This error occurs with both third party programs and window's Disk manager/explorer).
Is this a sign my SD card is dead/dying or is it just a fluke and can be fixed?
Any help is appreciated.
Try partitioning and formatting with 4ext. It is supposed to be stable. But all roads finally lead to gparted which is the standard linux tool. There is a guide in my signature.
like handy says use 4ext recovery. Make ur sdcard all fat32. in recovery go to
tools/partition sdcard/ remove all partitions and start from scratch/
skip
skip
skip
this will make sdcard fat 32
then in tools format sdcard (twice)
this will definitly wipe it clean. then partition ur sdcard to whatever ROM requires. this should sort out sdcard. try installing ur rom without restoring any backup coz ur backup could also be the problem.
PS: try another rom, not ICS :sly:

Tried formatting using 4EXT. Strangely it tells me the format was a success but files etc are still on the card. Tried Gparted and it seems to remove the Ext 4 partition and format the entire card but when it reloads the drives, the partition is back and so are my files. It seems there's no means to actually format it.
Just buy a new card, it is cheap
I am having issues mounting my external sd card in clockworkmod after I made a nano backup. It appears that the touch is also not working. I am on clear rom 4.5. Any help would be great.

I literally just hit the exact same issue. The phone, PC, and CWM all recognized and could mount the Ext SD, then I told CWM to backup to External SD....
Now I can't mount or read my SD from the PC, Phone, or CWM....
I've read a few forums claiming that this process reformats the SD to Fat32, but even then, it should be able to read it through at least ONE of those three mediums...
Any luck finding a solution?
Looks like i have ran into the same problem as well..
I Was running jedi 14, i decided to flash the new jedi 16. booted in cwm, format x2, flash jedi... wipe cache...... and then it boots me back into cwm. If i try to restore it wont mount the sd card. But it allows me to access jedi 16 and even run the aroma installer.. very weird
Hi there,
I was about to flash a new rom on my Dinc, and right after I formatted /system, the sdcard became unable to mount and now I can't access the .zip for the new rom. I've tried flashing 3 versions of CWM as well as one of TWRP but none of them can access my SD card. I also reformatted it in my PC with no success. I currently don't have any operating system on it so all I can work with is hboot and recovery.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Did you format it fat32 with the pc? If the cards fine (can be used by pc and fat32) and recovery and hboot still cant find it, then id venture to say the sdcard slot is damaged or went out.
Using adb in recovery, you should be able to push a rom file to emmc and flash it from there.

I did format it FAT32, and the SD card is definitely fine. I don't think that the slot is the problem either because other things won't mount either.
Actually the only thing I can mount in recovery is /system, everything else is inaccessible. It was having mounting problems before which is why I decided to flash it with a new rom (was running Jellybean very poorly). I also tried flashing the original recovery, doing "clear storage" that way, and reflashing with CWM but it had no effect. During the storage wipe it said that /datadata doesn't even exist. It also shows errors that it can't mount the files /dev/block/mmcblk01 and /dev/blk/mmcblk0p2
This is what the log shows when I did the CLEAR STORAGE using the stock recovery
Restore factory NV setting...
Formatting DATA:...
E: format_root_device: can't find mtd partition "datadata"
Formatting EMMC:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Wipe ALL failed.
E:Can't mount DATADATA:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
The same thing happened to me long back. What I did was that I cleared data, cache, and dalvik cache... Worked for me... You can try but i wont take any responsibility
