When I first rooted the phone I had installed an 8 gig memory card; however, after having some issues and deciding the internal storage is sufficient, I removed the memory card. Before doing so I moved the clockwork folder from the external card to internal memory. I got into recovery and tried to do a new backup, and it said Cant mount /sdcard. I thought by moving the default folder I confused CWM, so reflashed it via Odin, but still getting the same error.
What do I need to do to get CWM to use the internal storage as default?
I am pretty sure there is an option to "backup to internal sd card" Click that.

Thx sarni. I'll keep that in mind although I'd like to keep the non-touch CWM if possible. worst case scenario I can flash back to stock and re-flash.
Anyone else have any ideas?

I seriously just checked. Try flashing CWM 5.0.2.7 from ROM Manager. It is in Backup & Restore.

Holy crap.. wit the root guide they give u old cwm, install rom manager n install t-mobile cwm through that, has internal sd option n works better.. also on android, it "mounts" the sdcard similar to a hdd, to remove ALWAYS unmount from settings b4 removing, in cwm goto mounts and storage, unmount sdcard otherwise u can corrupt data

I have no idea what youre trying to say here. There is no tmobile cwm. Theres tmobile's recovery and theres cwm.
Anyway. I flashed back to unrooted stock, rerooted, installed cwm 5.0.2.6, and still having the same issue. Nandroid says "cant mount /sdcard, and ROM manager, when trying to download a newer version of cwm, says "an error occurred while trying to run privileged commands", I have a feeling my internal sd card is corrupt.
Im going to flash back to unrooted stock again, perform sd card wipe/format, factory reset, and start again.

I never said t-mobile cwm, I said simply install rom manager feom market and install cwm from there the version under guide is old..
And yes actually, under cwm when it asks u to verify jr model it lists it as tmobile, I stated this BECAUSE OF THE WAY ITS LISTED and the EASIEST way for a n00b to get it, at least try the above before posting and rying to correct me.

Ye idc bout u correctin me, I wrote that in 2min on my way home from my phone, excuse me if I worded it quickly.
My entire basis is simply the version in guide is OLD, 5.0.2.6 to be exact.
N no not hostile, just can't stand stupidity, and there is a difference between lack of knowledge and stupidity (not callin u stupid here don't jump to conclusions here..) and no, not new had an account a few years back left bout almost a year ago cuz of the stupidity and ammount of people who would rather DL and complain about it then look at wat goes into it, or simply rather flame people and throw off a topic rather then post relative information (last few posts are comming close to being under this category) or the trolls and morons who like to post crap or responses to which they no nothing about.
And fine, if u don't wanna use rom manager download odin flashable from their site, its 5.0.2.7 and has internal support, I said rom manager cuz technicly its the easiest manoeuvre.
Again I'm not new, just grew tired of the scene and decided to come back fresh and c if things have changed..
And I'm as nice as I need to be, when I need to be. Simple as that.
As far as "jumping down everyones throats in every post",
I never once said anything outa line (k, mayb that once when buddy told me to piss off, I gut pissed off alright)
Everything Ive said ive had a reason for. And actually, I try 2 help out, but topics like this are a prime example, if u don't word it 100% people are WAY to quick to jump on it.
When I do jump in pissed off its cuz I see a new post go up with the exact thing stated a couple posts down.

I think my internal was corrupted. Here's what I did:
In CWM 5.0.2.6 formatted all possible things, including emmc.
Flashed back to unrooted stock via Odin
Re-rooted with recovery-cmw-hercules.tar (CWM 5.0.2.6)
Downloaded ROM mgr again, and flashed to CWM 5.0.2.7
Now I have the choice in CWM to backup to internal (5.0.2.6 doesnt have that option)
Re-flashed Darkside 2.5.1
All is working flawlessly now. Looks like I had a corrupt internal partition somewhere.
And doug36, I appreciate your attempt to help, I really do. But frankly, your posts are extremely difficult to read and follow.

You should be able to Google Rom manager 2.5.0.1. They transfer it over to if SD card and name it P36IMG.ZIP and reboot holding volume down button and it should read it. Make sure the file is in the root directory of the SD card.

what exactly are you stating:
1.) you used a random backup on your SD card? If so do you know what the backup consisted of, was it a backup of your current rom?
2.) You had rom manager 3.0 installed when u restored the backup? What version of Rom Manger do you have installed now? and now your stating the Rom Mananger wont flash anything?
3.) Maybe someone else can help but what does gapps have to do with you downloading from the Market if you have CM6 installed?
4.) Did you backup any of your apps before restoring, if so you can use any file browser and reinstall Rom Manager v3.0
I hope im helping in some way just want to clerify what you saying
Hey whats up guys?
so......Im not really new here guys, But i am new to APP2SD....i partitioned my card for the KINGDOM ROM which turned out to be really cool. Everything went GREAT with the partition, I followed VIRUS direction to the "T".......now i deleted all my old backups because i was told that some files may be corrupt and what not, so i made 2 backups of the B3 ROM from virus.....to try to make a long story short, when i restore one or the other of the backups i have, the APPS that required ROOT, tells me they cant find ROOT>....and believe me...im ROOTED LOL.....im not that lost.....i was even given a command for TE......"app2sd--cachesd"......and the PERMISSION WERE DEINED ACCROSS THE BOARD......now i can get to the titanium backup's =main screen and it shows i have APP2SD= 1.91mb........so im guess the app2sd isnt installing the apps onto my SDcard...im not sure if i have to move every app to my SDcard myself...not sure if that the issues....but to me something sounds wrong....ya know, ive deleted all the apps and re-installed them....i even installed them from amazon...NO GO....so if i RE-Flash, the apps will work...cause i setup my phone with TB.....but its after when i RESTORE my backup, that everything goes screwy...ohh and i am backing up SDtext.....and wiping it if i flash another ROM or restore a differnet backup.......Cant really find any info on anyne having this same problem....This is the first time im actually making my first thread so go easy on me LOL......thanks alots guys...I really appreciate it...
EDIT:.....ohh and all my apps sometimes show up in SU and they are allowed.....and SU is updated

I'm not sure I quite follow you, but, if you have the time, try this: after you've gotten your rom setup how you like it, reboot into recovery. Hopefully, you're using amon RA v2.3 as your recovery. If so, go to the wipe menu and wipe the cache & dalvik. After that, go to the backup/restore menu and, in addition to what is already selected to be backed up, select sdext and .android.secure. now create the backup and afterwards, reboot. Now to test it out, for back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and then go to the backup/restore menu and restore the backup you just made. If using amon RA, the name of the backup *should* have a BSDEA beginning or something to that extent. Afterwards, reboot. Your system *should* restore back to the way it was without any problems.

It will be automatically activated if whichever Rom you are flashing had it cooked into it
If it's not cooked into the ROM, then it must be activated ( by flashing the script via recovery, i think....) Sorry, in kinda new to aa2sd too

I'm more familiar with my nexus, but my friend has the epic 4g touch for sprint and he needs my assistance in getting CM9 on this. He has a rom on it now, but it sucks and giving him issues. I don't think he has clockwork on it, just an ODIN mode and I'm not too familiar with that.
Can someone lend some insight and help for me to help him do his phone. I need to get CM9 on this guy. Is there a clockwork I can flash? Can you flash at all, or have to use ODIN? I'm not familiar with using ODIN at all. Does it work the same way with putting zips on the sdcard and flashing? Can I even get clockwork, and then flash cm9?
Thank you!
Ok so I found out, he already has agat_recovery trec v0.2.1 on it.....which I guess is clockwork but for this phone. So that's cool. I want to nandroid, but its saying it cannot mount the backup path. I think because we took out his microsd card. Is there anyway we can make it so it mounts to internal rom instead?

Choose the 'switch to internal storage" option.
I got it, thank you! So just throw on cm9 alpha 6 zip, flash, and call it a day right?
Ok so the nandroid backup failed. Error: while making a backup image of /data!
which ok, whatever..if I can't backup my image that's fine. Maybe its cuz I only have my 1.6G free on my internal storage
Only time I've seen that is a space issue. Id say that you're correct.

According to this, the E4GT isn't supported by Cyanogen:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung
I myself run (and prefer) the stock rooted rom with cwm. That may change one day, but I find that I can customize my setup and software to my satisfaction. In fact, I tried the OTA FF18 (rooted) and didn't like it, especially the fact that Google seems to be more invasive (i.e., auto signing into all google sites with no apparent recourse). I also had wifi LOS on 2 separate E4GTs that required me to turn wifi off and back on every few mins.
I odined back to GB, installed a hack to get rid of the OTA update nag and haven't looked back. I guess I'll wait for the next rollout.
Well, it clearly works at least tho...

I wouldn't flash anything until I had a known good nandroid. In fact, that's the first issue you should address, even if it means making room on the card or getting an external SD card to write it to.

I go into CWM recovery....

If you guys could help, could you kinda try and make it in simple terms. I am really trying to learn this stuff, but I am just starting out, so sorry for the novice level guys.
I did try and google some info, but I feel even more confused now.

If you guys could help, could you kinda try and make it in simple terms. I am really trying to learn this stuff, but I am just starting out, so sorry for the novice level guys.
I did try and google some info, but I feel even more confused now.
Any help would be great.....
thanks guys!!

The first solution to any recovery problems should be to check if there is an update to CWM, which fergie716 already linked to. This is why they release updates... because sometimes things are broken (and they only pop up in unique circumstances).
Also, I personally use TWRP, and always recommend it. I have had no issues with TWRP (when I keep it up-to-date). But I always throw in the disclaimer that backups made with CWM will not be able to be restored in CWM. If you have too many backups in CWM that you want to keep, switching to TWRP might not be up your alley.

The main reason of this problem is SD card
I was also getting this error...
After I inserted a 16gb microsd card the problem got fixed
Heyy everyone! i have a samsung sgh t989D (telus edition) and i tried to root it. I put CWM and Cyanogen on it via Rom Manager and when i started my phone up it wouldnt get past the boot screen so im stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the CWM recovery page but i dont know what i should and can do to get out of this boot loop. I backed up i phone when i was trying to use the samsung toolkit a while ago but i still dont want to lose my data. I also dont care for the rom or root anymore. So i guess im asking what the best way to unroot my phone would be. Also my phone disconnects itself from my computer at times (my laptop makes the noise that a usb has been unplugged) and im using the stock wire with a usb 2.0 port.
Can you get into download mode or CWM without it rebooting? If not, does it get partially through the boot process before going into an infinite bootloop and vibrating every few seconds? If so, you could be another victim of power button hardware failure.

Please please please tell me you did a NANDROID backup before making any changes after getting CWM on there!
If you did, you should be able to restore from backup when in CWM. If not... well... flash from an SD card?

i can easily get to the clockwork recovery page and idk if i did a nandroid backup :S i used ROM manager to put CWM on my phone but before that i tried rooting with the samsung toolkit and that made me do some sort of backup i think so i might have but idk. what can i flash from an sd card? pretty much what happens when i start my phone is that it stays at the screen while its booting like the boot logo where the background is moving and stuff and i can turn my phone off and hold volume keys and get into CWM recovery
Check every other thread... they are pretty much the same thing. You answer is Darkside Super wipe. Flash it, flash your ROM, flash GAPPs, reboot!

Ive got a new problem :S i now know exactly how to fix my phone. But there are some pictures on the internal SD Card that i really need. Theyre pictures from a family vacation to Washington DC an theyre really important. I tried to mount my phone from Clockwork Mod Recovery but mounting the system but it didnt work. Then i tried selecting all the options and mounted them all but all my computer does is reckognize that something is plugged in. I cant get into the files of my phone. I also checked and my computer says the my phone is a "Storage Device; Modem"

Your not suppose mount the system, just storage. In TWRP you can mount internal or external storage. Also, I'm not quite getting what you're saying. You have tried taking out the SD card and mounting it directly on your PC and it didn't work?

In the CM9 thread it says to ensure you download/install a CWM Touch recovery - if you don't you're guaranteed to get a boot loop. Their "fix" was to download and flash darkside-wipe-cache-only.zip via recovery and that will fix the problem.
I ended up having the same issue and that's how I fixed it.

Im saying that im stuck in a bootloop and i wana get the data off of my internal storage. I can only get to CWM recovery. I also wana just go back to stock ICS but if i can fix cyanogen without wiping my phone that would be great! i tried to plug in my phone and get my computer to read it so i can browse my phone's internal memory and get the pictures off of the internal storage but it wont recognize my phone. I tried checking all of the things in CWM but none of them worked.
