I am also having this issue,
i'm using an 8G and 2G sd cards, tried to format them through the computer and through the phone but with no luck
i'm using clockwork recovery 2.5.1

try making a folder on your sd card, clockworkmod.

tried that, and it started working for me, dunno if it was a coincidence though.

RE: [Q] Defy automatically reboots when screen off

Hi all, I'm traing to install a fix, and clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard.

I had the same problem. I think its due to the original JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 sbf.

SO... Use this:

When choosing your firmware select the Nordic 2.2.2 (Froyo) version [JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005]. Then re-root using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709

Then you should be able to mount sd card in CWM.

Please tell me how you installed CM7 on the Defy.

I've been trying to install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) all day on my phone but now I'm pulling my hair out by the clumps. This seems to be one stubborn device to play with. My desire didn't give me any trouble at all.


Please help with the following queries I have:

I have installed 2nd init boot and then was accessing clockworkmod through that.
But when I try backing up my ROM I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard".

On the defy if I press up and power on I get the default bootloader with battery check. I can only get into clockworkmod from the recovery app.
On my desire, I can directly boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by pressing up and power button. I don't remember now how I got t to do that, but I would like that in my Defy too. I suppose this will solve the sdcard problem?

What must I do to install a custom ROM on defy??



EDIT: I followed the cyanogenmod wiki at first and in their method I got stuck at the cp -R command, where I got the error "cannot stat, no such file or directory found" or something like that. I'm at my wits' end here, please help me!

This is hell annoying but simple solution worked on LGO2X. Reinsert SDCARD while in Recovery. It should work in all devices. Nothing stupid to try. Tell me...

It is because you formated your sd card with some other file system. Just go to settings / sdcard and storage . Unmount your sdcard and format it. It will get mounted in cwm from now on .

Still Can't mount sdcard, after formatting and creating folder on sdcard

phone and software details:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8
Motorola Defy Eclair, OS 2.1, kernel 2.6.29
SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (Defy 2ndinit)
Android Bootmenu v0.6.1
USB Debugging is NOT on when I reboot.

I formatted the card, remounted it in normal operation, then tried going into the Android Bootmenu and mounting the sdcard, formatting it, backup but none of them worked b/c it couldn't mount the sdcard.

I also tried doing the same thing, but not remounting it in normal operation and shutting it off to no avail.

I also tried adding the folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod but with no luck.


Specifically, when do Custom Recovery, then in ClockworkMod Recovery, do backup and restore and do backup, I get the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0{
(No such file or directory)
Can't mount /sdcard

This particular version of the OS makes rooting very difficult. z4root doesn't work as it exploited some security feature that was figured in the firmware update. Since I have a mac, even after using mono, I was not able to get SuperOneClick working (it hangs on "waiting for device"). So the only way I found to root was from this post:
[ROOT] G2x Easy Root for Mac and Linux

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to be able to get a nandroid backup and then use CM 4.03 for Motorola Defy:

Same issue on Galaxy S Plus

Have to same situation here with a Galaxy S Plus (9001). Everything works great mounted on the stock rom, but not in clockworkmod. Card is formated as FAT32 with clustersize at 1024 bytes. It's another phone but it might be the same issue ... Reinsert card while in recovery doesn't work, it reboots the recovery I think. Putting a folder 'clockworkmod' on the sdcard also doesn't work.

Is there any advice for this problem? I have the same problem. I realized the last time i rooted and flashed a moto defy (different one than now) i was on T-Mobile USA 2.2. The current phone is T-mobile 2.1. Also, the custom recovery menu is green now. I followed these directions exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447

any help is greatly appreciated.

I just want to have a test phone to put cm10 on. This way i can keep my cm7.2 for daily use, and play around w/ cm10 on my 2nd phone.
