I was having no problems using and accessing my external sd card from within CWM. Than after some flashes and wipes trying out different roms, and even a complete reset to original rom through ODIN to try and fix it. I can no longer use my external sd card in CWM. It says something along the lines of E:/ cannot mount external sd. Does anyone know what could be causing this, and if there are any solutions?

If the card still reads on your PC I would try to take everything off it and re-format the card.Also maybe try TWRP.I don't have CWM right now but there is probably a selection in it to mount/unmount sd.I know in TWRP the option is there.
HaHa, I had the same problem last night and after spending 5 hrs +, I finally fix it...
After flashing some PA, Jellybam roms, both recovery and the rom can no longer see my mircoSDXC 64gb card. Flashing the latest cwm or twrp did't work. Doing numerous quick and full format on the card to fat32 and exfat didn't work. Restore the stock rom and finally the rom can see the card; however recovery still can't read it. Formatting the card with the rom didn't work. Went to the store and grab a brand new card and still no luck. FINALLY... odin a new cwm recovery fix the problem.... :banghead:

Did you use goo manager to flash? That just pushes the recovery img to the phone not flash it. Ive never had a problem with TWRP with any phone or tablet ive used. CWM on the other hand....thats a different story.

Here's my data point. I had the exact problem of clockworkmod unable to mount external sd card while making a nandroid backup. I tried it via the paid ROM manager plus app without any luck. I sent them a log file.
Then I tried goo manager + twrp and it worked. I donated to twrp.

GooManager/TWRP worked for me.
Sucks trying to use internal memory to flash with only 16GB total.
This is a limitation of driver support for ExFAT, you can force windows into formatting fat32 using a 3rd party utility like this one:

Hi, I'm stumped and I've seen others post who are experiencing the same thing I am:
I don't see my 32Gb SD card when I boot into recovery?
I've tried updating to the newest CWM and then I even reformatted the card in this new phone and still nothing? All that shows up is the internal storage? I can see the card in all other cases, like to save/play music/photos and the likes...I'm stumped, anyone have something I can try?

CWM 5.8.4.7 is the latest version that will allow you to flash from both internal and external.

download mode, odin, ??????????, profit
well right now i have no files on my internal sd card cause i formatted that :S
i think one way i can fix it is if i can restore from external sd card which i can't find a cwm recovery version that supports it at the moment...
Have you tried using TeamWin recovery? I cant confirm if it reads external SD but others have reported that it does.

i flashed twrp through odin and flashed a new rom from external sdcard since i only have a 1gb microsd on hand.
thank you so much!
External sdcard readers and a recovery that reads external (cwm touch 4.8.4.5) ftw. I'm pretty sure twrp does read ext also though.

Since updating to latest recovery it can't mount or access external SD. There's no problem with my card but touch recovery, nothing can access it...
Anyone else? Ideas?

JDEVIL HYBRID ROM
Hello,
I am a new member of XDA but have been using XDA for a while without an account. I have a Droid Incredible that I achieved S-off and rooted. I just recently tried installing Cm9 on it using ROM manager and cwm. For some reason my cwm didn't work (wouldn't come up,no recovery) while trying to install cm9. I decided to take battery out and forget about it. It work for all of 3 hours then rebooted and now will not leave a boot cycle I have tried multiple pb31img.zip files but it always says wrong image. I am obviously not so familiar with the dinc as I am with my Samsung galaxy exhibit because that phone is running cm10 and running perfectly so this isn't my first time. So if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it

Sounds like your sdcard hasn't been formatted properly. You need to ensure your sdcard is formatted to fat32. First, back up your data off it to your computer, otherwise you'll lose it all. Then format your sdcard. As for recoveries, try the latest TWRP (they get more updates, more features, and less issues than CWM for our device, imo) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38633018&postcount=163 then go back to flashing the ROM of your choice.
Well there's another problem. I can't get my phone to connect to the computer..

If it won't leave the boot cycle, and you can't connect to the pc, how did you get multiple PB31IMG.zip on there? Remove sdcard and use an external reader to plug it directly into the pc, perhaps?
I used my Samsung galaxy exhibit and downloaded to external SD and put it in the other

Do as pons said and use a mirco sd to usb adapter to read and write to the card with your pc. If you dont have an adapter you can get one for like 4 bucks at walmart. Or try using the sdcard out of your other phone. Or use your other phone to format the sd of the inc.
My problem is, I have a fresh reformatted external SD fat32 I place the pb31img.zip file on SD (no folders) and I get something to the sort of

Hey guys.
So my phone stuck in TWRP screen cause like an idiot I accidently erased system files as well.
Now I tried to adb push a rom bout I tried everything and couldn't get my both mac/windows to recognize the device.
So I now got a OTG cable to connect my USB key which I transferred a rom to use, but how do I get TWRP to recognize my USB key? If I go to INSTALL > EXTERNAL CARD it will not let me click on it.
Thanks!
Can you just load the ROM on an external SD card ? You can flash it from the external card in twrp.

Yeah so I transferred a rom.zip to my SD card than I went into INSTALL on TWRP to locate the file externally but it will not allow me to access the external memory.
Put the device into download mode and flash stock ROM and reroot

Male sure your drivers are installed properly and you are using a micro USB cord that supports data. If not it wont see it. When you say it wont connect have you opened Odin to see if it sees your phone in a com port ?
Not sure why it won't see your ext SD card. What's the size of it ?
