Can't mount sdcard from Recovery Mode/Clockworkmod

[luda3455]

I'm trying to install a custom ROM on my rooted Galaxy S2, I've been following this guide: Android 4.0.4 for Galaxy S2 i9100: Flash the F1 GalaxyNexus ROM

I've placed the rom inside an external sdcard, entered Recovery mode (clockworkmod CMW-based Recovery) and clicked "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard", after that the console presented me with an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/".

The sdcard works fine and I'm able to read/write from/to it without any issues.

Hey, I moved this to the international GS2 All Things Root section. Thanks for understanding.

there are two sdcards, the internal sdcard which is the phone's built-in USB storage, and external sdcard which is the removable sdcard that is physically located at the back of the phone and is sealed by your phone's battery.

so technically speaking you should be choosing the "choose zip from external sdcard" based on how you described storing your rom.

I'm not sure as to why your sdcard is unmounted, but you can remount it back using CWM. There should be a "mounts and storage" section in CWM menu, where you can remount the internal USB storage by selecting "mount /sdcard".

I have the same issue. My phone is rooted one. I tried to mount through CWM menu but getting "error mounting/external_sd!". Can you please help me?
