how can i access the external sd card from cwm? ive noticed everything has been installed and downloaded into internal sd. i did a factory reset from phone and erased my internal sd card now my phone wont boot and i cant access my external sd card from cwm. i can get to cwm but no access to card and everythings been wiped from the internal memory. is there a way to access the external sd card? also seems to be a bigger problem than just this when i tried to install xda app before i did wipe it wouldnt allow me since xda is stored in sd cARD. its like it doesnt access the card. anyone????
ok so i did a factory data reset thru phone thinking this would solve some of my issues and instead created more because i went into continuous bootloop. then my internal memeory was wiped also and i couldnt flash anything and for some reason you cant access external sd thru cwm. so i actually thought about intentionally bricking my phone so i could take it back to sprint. lmao!! anyways so finally io went into cwm and went to mount and unmount then hit mount usb and text changed to unmount usb so i plugged my phone to my pc and bam it connected and this gave me the oppurtunity ti put a rom into sd once it synced then i was able to acces it and flash it and now im back lol. but when you do a factory reset it wipes everything from your internal memory all your roms and zips to flash are gone and you can no longer flash anything. i dont know if this was already spoken of or not vut i searched the forum and couldnt find anything to help my situation so maybe this will help the next guy at least until we get further into the development of this phone.
hope this helps someone!!!
Man I hope this works I just got my phone and i bricked it.... wow.
I noticed that you can't access external_sd from cwm *yet*. I was going to say you always have odin if you can get the phone into download mode, but looks like you figured that out.
So I've got a bit of a weird situation here. I was doing a nandroid backup today in preperation of updating to the newest version of Cy mod and at the end it failed. I let it time out and reboot on its own.
After that point my phone was completely borked. The phone will get stuck in a boot loop (black to htc logo, to black over and over) if it's not connected to a computer, however if it's connected via usb it'll boot up into Android.
If it's not connected though, I can get into fast boot, but if I try to get to recovery from there it will get stuck in a boot loop (unless, oddly enough, it is connected via usb to a computer at the time, it seem to have no trouble booting if connected via usb).
Even so, if I do have it connected via usb and manage to boot into android or the bootloader it cannot mount the SD card. I've confirmed that the SD card is properly seated, but do not have the ability to test out other sd cards.
Even more weird is that WiFi and Bluetooth now suddenly will refuse to start up. They worked just fine before I attempted to do the nandroid backup.
And even wierder still, earlier today, after the whole phone went to **** but before now, USB debugging would still work in android but now it will refuse to work, so I can't even adb into it while it's booted. I also, for some reason, can't seem to adb into it while it's in fastboot either.
Basically, right now I have no sd card, and apparently no ability to adb into the phone, it'll boot loop if started without being connected to a pc, but will boot to android if it is connected.
I can still download things from the phone's browser, and I have access to the terminal on the phone. Can this be fixed or am I pretty much boned?
What recovery are using? What rom or kernel?

Rom: CyanogenMod 7.0.3.1
Kernel: 2.6.37.4
Recovery: Rom Manager
Unfortunately I'm really not in a position to change any of those things unless you can come up for a solution to fix the sd card or my problems connecting with ADP, or if I can somehow flash it with the terminal while in android proper.
ROM Manager is not a recovery, it's an app, which makes me think you have CWM.
Since you can boot up while connected and you can get into fastboot (Can you get into Hboot?), I'd drop the PC36IMG for Amon Ra onto your SD Card via a card reader, then boot up by using Vol Down \ Power and when it scans and asks to update, hit yes. then try to get into recovery.
If that fails, you may need to reformat your card, again via a card reader, then run the RUU for your phone and try to flash recovery again.

Yeah, sorry I meant CWM, I had a brain fart there.
I cannot mount the SD card. Even if I had a card reader to put that stuff on it I wouldn't be able to use it to update from it, although, maybe the drivers that fastboot run from were unaffected by whatever screwed up my phone, so it might be able to update if I grab a card reader. I'll try this and report back.
Also, I have no issues getting into CWM when my phone is hooked up to my computer via usb, it just will not mount the sd card.
You don't need to mount the SD Card if Hboot will see the file on it.
Okay, here's the deal. Hboot will see a pc36img.zip. It'll load it up, check it, and then won't give me the option to update from it.
Yes I have the engineering hboot (0.76.2000)
If it's any help, I think this all started when I was doing a nandroid backup and the sd card ran out of space.
Is it possible to update an RUU from my computer without using adb?

First thing you're going to need to do is clear some space off your SD card.
Check on the root of it and see if you have any files with "qxdm" in the name. If so, you can use the SD Card fix from here to get your SD card mounted again (you have to be connected to a PC in fastboot mode, with the correct drivers installed, for it to work).
It sounds like your partitions are out of whack, so you really need to flash your misc partition, and that may normalize your device. Problem is, you need working adb to do that. If you can't get into recovery, then that won't work. Can you boot up your device at all? Is it recognized at all over USB? If not, as long as it'll stay on and it's rooted, you can use Wireless ADB to flash the misc partition. I did it here.
When cleaning up your sd check the LOST.DIR folder it may be several gb's and you can just erase the whole folder its similar to the recycle bin on windows and can be safely emptied if its full as it is mostly incomplete or partial files that are created during sd scan on boot and/or created if you unplug the phone from your pc with out properly disconnecting the storage first by right clicking the drive and clicking eject usb drive

Try flashing the stock recover/firmwares through Odin or RomToolKit. I'm hoping you didn't somehow mess up the partition on the internal.

okay thank you will try it now and report back.
Need help too
I have a very similar issue right now and am able to still access download/recovery mode. I attempted to use the TOOLKIT V3.0.0 for att to restore back to stock. But the problem is it says "waiting for usb debugging to be enabled" which obviously isnt going to happen since it cant boot. Is this still the case with trying to flash back to stock in Odin manually? Please help. I spent practically every penny on this new phone and havent even had it a week...
Set up odin on your computer...go to sammobile.com dl your fw for your phone..extract it to a .tar. .open odin. Press pda put the. File in yhat slot. Make sure only auto reboot and f reset are cheakd...make sure phone is in dl mode flash away

You can always use the advance mode in twrp to copy the file over from external to internal and then flash. Also I'd you have the right drivers installed on your pc you can just connect your phone to computer and copy the ROM over to internal sd. If twrp isn't reading the external do a recovery reboot and try again.

So my phone is in a bootloop. I made a dumb mistake, and restarted my phone to be met with a bootloop. My question is - is it possible for me to get my files off of the phone before reinstalling/doing a fresh install? I have access to both download mode and CWM Recovery - I just have some files on here that I really need, and unfortunately, they aren't replaceable. Is there anyway for me to get them off of my phone? I'm running WFTN.
I've tried starting up CWM and backing up to external-sd, but every time I do I get a "can't mount backup path" error. So I go to Mounts and Storage and try mounting my external sd, but I get a "Error Mounting /external_sd!" message. Can anyone help me out?
Edit
Actually, I managed to get the files I needed. I needed some recordings off of the phone, and I was able to plug my phone into my computer via usb (in CWM) and it gave me access to the phone's internal SD card. So I suppose all that's left is actually re-flashing the ROM. I was running an older version of WFTN, I suppose i was due for an upgrade anyway.
However, I suppose my original question remains - is it possible to backup the files on the phone (without using the usb)? Is there a reason I was unable to mount my external sd card?
Just because you are flashing a rom doesnt mean your recordings or anhthing on your sd card is wiped when you flash a new rom. The exception being if you use odin to put a oneclick of a jellybean rom on. Then it wiped internal. And if you are worried about sd card just pull it out. Iirc I was always able to pull files from both internal and external while in recovery using el26 kernel. Not sure where the problem was. But glad to know you got your files.

Hello, I was installing this rom when I was in recovery and after making wipes, I will install the rom, and is not. or the internal memory or external, I test the external sd on other devices and is dead. not to do. I put other external card with the rom, but don´t recognize it, I still think the other, I can refresh it somehow? Can I reset the Note and re-enter recovery after doing the wipes? What I can do?.
Right now I'm in openrecovery and I do not recognize the new card.
I've finally been able to fix it. thanks to all
