you need to partition your SD card first before installing that ROM.
how to partition
can you pls help
If you have latest CWM recovery then you must have an option there.
recovery>advanced>partition SD card.
select any size with 0 Swap size.
if you dont find that option then you need to flash latest recovery first.
I updated clockworkmod recovery through rom manager. Rom manager said the install was successful. So then I boot into the recovery to flash the cyanogenmod 10 preview build. I do all my wipes data, cash, exe. Then I go to install the rom and I realize now with the new recovery I can’t install/restore anything from /extsdcard (external storage). It only has the option to install/restore from /sdcard (internal storeage) which would be fine except all my roms/backups are on my micro sdcard (external storage). I have already wiped everything so now I can’t boot my phone to fix it. Is there a way to install the old recovery after I have wiped everything. I was thinking about using Odin to flash the old recovery in download mode again (like I did when rooting) but I am not sure if this is ok to do. I tried mounting the internal storage to my pc to copy the files I need from my computer to my phone. When I plugged it in the box in the bottom right popped up and said installing drivers and they were successful but when I try mounting (anything) the computer does not recognize it. So I can’t transfer the files. Would someone who knows more than me give some advice please?

While youre in recovery, can you mount through the mounts and storage option? Im not on the recovery you are talking about but if you can mount it you can throw the rom on that way. If you cant do that you should be able to just boot up the rom thats currently on it and mount it that way. Just because you wiped everything doesnt mean that it wont boot up, it just cleared all of the data. It should load up with your previous rom.
Thank you very much. It gave me more insight on what was going on. I have my phone back up and working. I was able to flash the old recovery with odin and i hope this information will help someone else in future as well.

Ok guys, long story short my cell phone stays on a loop while booting, I'm running JB 4.2 (AOKP).
I need to get some information from the internal storage before wiping the device, so far I've tried to mount the USB storage from CWM and it only shows my external SD on my computer. I tried mounting/unmounting "emmc" and "sdcard" (and pretty much every other mount point) whithout success so as a last resource I'm trying to pull the data using ADB, however when I start the adb server it doen't show any device (the device is on recovery mode at the time, CWM v5.0.2.7).
So I guess my question is, how can I get ADB to detect my cell phone in order to pull data from it while on recovery mode?
Of course, if you have any other suggestions as to how to get the data from it please let me know.
just mount the internal sd card
First an easier method would be to just flash the latest twrp via odin and then mount the internal sd card from there because the cwm your using is way outdated and has alot of problems. also i said twrp beacuse its easier to use than cwm and the layout is better
Prior to today, I had not installed TWRP or rooted my T310 device. I believed I followed the instructions to root my device correctly (found here). Going through TWRP, I rebooted the system to install the Superuser package. I then rebooted the system, loaded up TWRP, and began to do a system wipe (followed instructions found here) to prep the flash of the rom and gapps.
I selected the following partitions to wipe: Dalvik cache, system, data and data. The instructions werent clear, so I checked both 'data' boxes.
After the wipe executed, I went to flash the rom and GAPPS I loaded to the internal sd card aaaaand... there were no .zip files. Crap. I went to reboot TWRP and it alerted me that my device does not appear to be rooted. Double crap. Not panicking, I went to mount and tried to see if I could mount the internet SD card to my device. Nothing. Windows now shows a 'Samsung_Android' device but it is listed under 'unspecified'. Reloading the drivers have done no good.
I'm guessing SuperUSer was never installed correctly *or* I did something during the reset.
I, of course, did not perform a backup prior to all of these. I have rooted my devices multiple times and it was always a breeze so why backup now? Weell...
So now I'm sitting here with a nonSU device, with no OS, no backup, and I'm unable to connect my device to Windows. Outside of loading a rom from an external SD Card, what options do I have?

You can either download the whole firmware and use Odin to flash or get adb setup and push a rom zip to the internal card using adb.

hi,
you will need a microsd card 32gb and properly formatted that comes with a card reader for your pc.
download your rom and get it onto the card, insert the card into your device
boot to twrp, and flash,
now, if twrp still spits the no os message at you, which is an issue with twrp,
you next need to go to your wipe options, select advanced and do a full data format/wipe,
NOT SYSTEM, DATA. meaning /data and /data/media. when that completes you should be sorted
but expect your initial boot of the new rom to take a little longer.
never wipe system with twrp. the rom's updater-script will manage that function.

Thank you both. I lost my SD cards and card reader in a move so while that orders, I will attempt to utilize ADB. I'm pretty green but I'm certain there are guides out there..

I'm having a hell of a time getting the rom to install from the SD card. I believe I am not formatting the card correctly. Is there a guide on how to do so? I have a primary partition in SD in FAT32 and the other partition as EXT4 but no luck. Any help is appreciated.

hi,
your external sdcard should be formatted as single partition fat32 unaligned,
if you running windows, use bootice, look it up
On linux , gparted may give you issues, if so, on debian at least there is another better utility
though the name escapes me at the moment, disk manager i think.

Well I was able to find a good stock firmware download, flashed that via Odin and I'm back to square 1. I am going to forego the external SD route. Perhaps too technical for me or some other hang up is abound but I am leaving that method alone for now. Thank you for your help : )
I've successfully managed to flash 2 roms to my HTC one m8 phone in the past, but now it seems I have a problem: I'm trying to install a zipped rom stored on my 64gb micro sd card, using PhilzTouch 6.57.8 , but I can't get install a zip from sd-ext. the message: /storage/sdcard1: Idle-Unmounted keeps appearing. I also cannot reboot my phone into the previous rom as i cleaned it in preparation to install a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do
Cant even mount sd-ext as I get 'E:Error mounting /sd-ext!'
Flash TWRP, mount storage, copy rom, flash rom......done
