[Q]mounting the so called SD card in clockwork recovery

One the things I used to do with phones with a physical SD card was to mount the SD card while I was in recovery to transfer files. This kind of helped not to use adb/fastboot or boot normally and do it as a mass storage. It saved time. I've noticed that this is not possible using CWR. Is that everyone else's experience also? Is there a workaround?

External SD card

Hi,
Just changed my phone because the other one was dead. I have a 16 gig external sd card and if I remember correctly on my other phone I had a folder externalsd or something in the root. Now the only place I see my external sd card is under /mnt. If I use recovery it does not see the external sd card. Am I missing a link or something?
Thanks,

Try updating your cwm from clockworkmod. com. The newest version should recognize your external sd card. Also, it's normal to show up under mnt.

TWRP 2.3.3 - Can't mount internal storage

This is a SGS3 question for Sprint users using TWRP 2.3.3.0
Does anyone know how to do a mount on internal storage (/sd-card) using TWRP? If I go to MOUNT under TWRP and select Internal Storage, and click USB Mass Storage, it still keeps mounting /ext-sdcard which is the micro SD card.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 QCom ToolKit v2.3 Drivers as all suggest.
USBview says its SAMSUNG HD204UI USB Device version 6.1.7601.17577 Mass Storage drivers. (if that helps :fingers-crossed

I was having this exact same issue, but I didn't have a SD card present. It never mounted the internal SD and default settings mounted a unusable CD drive and external storage (probably a place holder for the external SD card).
Are there any further requirements to achieve this?
I also had sideloading issues with both CWM and TWRP, neither worked to push to the internal SD

Formatted internal storage and TWRP is not showing external sdcard

I rooted and unlocked my device using Freegee and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0.then i copied the rom zip to external sd card and booted in to recovery.then i advanced format to format everything including internal storage,now i don't have any rom and TWRP is not showing my external sd card which still has rom file.
I inserted that sd card in to my another phone(HTC explorer) and and booted in to TWRP recovery and there recovery detects my card but not when i insert it in to OGP.
Now i don't have any ROM ,please somebody tell me how to mount SDcard or how to push file to the internal storage.
thank you.
EDITk fixed.moved file to internal using ADB and it worked.still i don't understand why it won't detect my external SD card.thank you.

TWRP cant see external SD card

selling my G3, first formatted my 32GB external SD card (to Fat32), and then went into TWRP 2.8.6.0 to do a factory reset.
then removed the external SD and copied the CloudyRom.zip on it.
when i boot back into TWRP, i can see my internal SD card is wiped as needed, but TWRP won't recognise my external SD with the rom zip i need to flash.
how do i get TWRP to recognise my external SD or how do i get cloudyrom back on the phone again..#
any help is much appreciated!
