Hello,
i wanted to flash Cyanogenmod on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. If I want to install a zip from sdcard, Clockworkmod says can't mount /sdcard.
What's wrong?
Thank you!
More info. Is your bootloader unlock, are you on 2.3.4 firmware, is it the correct cm zip folder? Lots of information missing. Sorry cant help you.
The Firmware version has been 2.3.4 i think. The zip file was placed in the root of my sd card. I have done the following steps:
1. I have unlocked the bootloader
2. I have flashed the boot.img from the cyanogenmod zip file with fastboot.
3. Then in clockworkmod-based recovery I was not able to choose a zip file on my sd card because the message 'can't mount E:/sdcard appeared.
I have not rooted my phone before doing the steps, maybe this was the mistake?

Root has nothing to do with the problems your having. What concerns me is why your sd card isnt mounting when it already should.

Hi all.
I have a clockworkmod problem -
Following an update i applied, i cannot boot past android launch screen. no problem i thought, i had just made a backup from clockworkmod )). So i rebooted into recovery, and selected restore - the clockworkmod tells me i have no backups (there were 3 backups at least there...). the sd card mounts to clockworkmod as i can see its contents when browsing for a zip to install.
I then went to reinstall the rom from fresh, but as i dowloaded through rom manager, i can only see the 7.0.3 cyanogen update, not the full rom...
So i'm stuck with my desire unable to boot - i cant copy over a backup or rom image, and there are no backups on my card (but there were!!!).
Any ideas?
ps , yes i have used search but can't find anything that'll help me.
Ignore.

You can always take your SD card out of the phone, and using a memory card reader (or similar), download a ROM on your PC and copy across to your SD card. Put it back in the phone and boot into recovery and flash away...
Good Luck

yeah i thought that would be possible, just don't have a micro-sd reader...
is ther any other way of getting data onto the sdcard without using a card reader?
What did you update?
You could use fastboot to push the ROM file to your sd card.
And / or use recovery to mount the sdcard.

i attempted to flash lordmod kernel + PUV mod. i knwe that the PUV can be problematic, so backed up before i flashed. the backup complete, and i flashed the kernel. after finding the kernel wasn't working, i went to restore and no backups there at all...
looking up restore via fastboot now. only problem i have a mac, but could run it via VM...
maybe quicker to drive to the store to get a reader!!
OK, finally got fastboot working on my mac, device recognised as "HT11MRX11410 fastboot"
i have nothing shown with "adb devices"
How do i flash a rom or a clockworkmod backup to this device using fastboot?

hi all, sorry for my bad english...
here's my problem:
i tried to root my htc desire with unrevoked3 but i did this at the 3rd try for some reason. root program said "it's ok, phone is rooted". then i've installed rom manager and tried to install cyanogenmod rom, but recovery said "can't mount misc" and i can't do anything now. i rooted it one more time and it doesen't help.
Phone version?
Bootloader information?
You guys always forget about the details.
Have you also tried to install ROM directly in clockworkmod recovery ?
download the ROM zip file, check md5 sum, copy to SD in FAT32 partition
reboot in recovery
Install from SD -> choose zip file
Do not use rom manager. It's a horrible software which causes many heavy system problems here. All operations you can do with rom manager can be done directly in recovery. Sometimes you have to partition your sd card with gparted, because this cannot be done in recovery, but gparted is not that difficult to use.
Conclusion: You do not have to use rom manager.
Referring to your problem, I subscribe with black3yed's post.

Yes it can be done, just not with CWM recovery.
Hey guys,
I just flashed the boot.img via the boot.img in the Custom Rom (CM10) (./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img) and then I found out I didnt put a rom.zip but a rom folder on my phone.. So I wanted to reboot but it doesn't really reboots.
When you hear that chime, it plays that 3/4th and then goes to 'HTC One tm' screen and stucks.
How.. do I fix it?
I flashed it with latest recovery thingy, 5-1.8 as I can see in my download folder.
Thanks so much in advance!
Go in to Recovery(like TWRP), mount USB, put the ROM on your SD-Card and flash it.

I can get into my SD, but I cannot move/paste anything onto the drive. Both SD as Internal folders.
edit:Ok, I got the CM10 rom.zip pasted on the SD-card, but when trying to install: It says 'installation aborted'
2) What you mean with flash it? Just 'install rom from sd card .. .. and select the rom.zip?

Then the zip is probably corrupt, download it again. Yes, flashing a Rom means installing from sdcard.

Probably you have to disable the signature check in your recovery. After that, it will succesfully install.

#1: Remove the back of the phone and remove the microsd card (or buy a cheap one)
plug the microsd card into your computer then download a basic twrp flashable
rom and copy it onto the microsd card and put it back into the phone.
.
Here is the direct download link for the basic rom:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472801
#2: You need to ODIN flash CF-autoroot and TWRP recovery.
None of the above will wipe/delete/erase or destroy your files
or data. Here is the direct download link for ODIN: (just in case you need it)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/odin1.85.rar
#3: Unrar odin to an empty folder and unzip the contents of cf-autoroot
and twrp recovery zip files into the same empty folder as odin is in then
flash cf-autoroot first, then flash twrp recovery.
#4: Once your phone is rooted and has twrp custom recovery, you are
ready to flash the zip file which you copied to your microsd card.
Flashing a basic twrp/cwm flashable zip file rom will not destroy,
delete, erase or wipe your files and data in the phone.
#5: Be sure NOT do perform a factory reset before or after flashing
the rom, twrp or cf-autoroot.
#6: For best results, flash cf-autooot first then flash twrp recovery.
Here are the links for cf-autoroot and twrp recovery:
CF-Autoroot:

TWRP recovery:

Good luck!
Thank you so much for answering. Because i have the same issue. But I'm stuck on 3. It sounds like i have to do them on the computer. If so wouldn't that require that i have USB debugging on and adb?
I don't have that option clicked on the phone and I can't click it due to the fact I can't unlock the phone either.
Thanks for your help. And thank you for any future clarification

You don't need to have usb debugging since all you need the computer for
is to copy a twrp flashable zip file rom onto a microsd card which in turn
would be the source of your zipfile rom and then you can use twrp recovery
to flash the zipfile rom.
That way twrp will have a zipfile rom to work with since twrp will recognize
the microsd card as the source for the zipfile rom which you need to flash.
Remember that the microsd card needs to be plugged into the computer
temporarily just so you can copy a zipfile rom file onto it.
Then once that's done the microsd card needs to be plugged back into the phone.
No ADB no USB pushing of files required.
Look at it this way, if your phone was working properly right now and you wanted
to flash a custom rom you would have a choice to flash it from internel memory or
the microsd card in your phone. If the rom is on the microsd card then twrp can flash
the rom from it instead of using the internal memory of the phone.
Good luck!
OK so let's make sure I understand 100%. I only need the computer to download and move the files. I don't need the computer for the process of rooting and flashing.
Odin.rar will be a first. I flash that via the so card and then flash the recovery. After that i will flash twrp/cwm flashable zip? Once this process is complete I can use the aroma file to remove the password.key file. Does this sound right. Again thank you very much. This is great help

I don't plug the phone in the computer. I take the card out and plug it into a usb Micro sd card reader. I then just put the card back in the phone.
Hello,
I need someone to help me make my phone work again.
here are all the steps I did before:
1- I downloaded HTC all in one kit
2- I unlocked my bootloader
3- I installed TWRP from HTC all in one kit
4- I downloaded this ROM : htc_m8_generic/da67a982c7dbf1dd45f8e34735eb591ac8d56b11.OTA_M8_UL_M60_STOCK_UI_MR_Google_WWE_5.07.1700.6-4.04.1700.10_release_454832.zip
first of all, when I booted to my current OS and I connect my phone to computer, the Internal storage not 16 GB anymore !! it's 10 GB and not a single folder inside, and I can't write anything there..!!
anyway I copied that ROM to my SD card and booted to TWRP recovery, I press Install and choose my zip file from my SD card and swipe to install ..I get this error:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy unkown command
I wiped everything and now I can't boot to my OS it's not there..so I want to install the ROM I mentioned above.
Few doubts :
1- does it or doesn't matter to be rooted to install that ROM through TWRP ?
2- does it matter to be S-OFF ?
3- does it matter if the zip file on SD Card or internal storage ?
4- does it matter if I'm not using the last TWRP version ?
I need help correct me if I'm wrong..
