I just want to confirm with other Tmo gs3 users which cwm version they are using. Ive been using 5.5.0.4 which was made by team epic for the Sprint LTE variant, and all other US gs3's. Everything seemed to be working and it was recognizing the external sd card and writing back ups to it. Then I got the new official Tmo CWM from rom manager but it would not recognize the external sd card or write backups to it? I tried both the regular version & the touch version with no success. I ended up back to Team Epics version because it was the only way Im able to use the external storage which is a must in my opinion.Im wanting to know if other Tmo users experienced the same issues, because in the other threads, it seems to be Sprint users only that are saying the official CWM from rom manager is working & recognizing external sd storage.This is one of those times that combined forums can get a little confusing I guess...
Bump.... C'mon Tmo guys, which CWM are you using and is it able to read and write to the external SD card?
T-mobile recovery 5.8.4.7

I am using 5.8.4.7 and I am not having any problems with my external sd card.
I'm using 5.8.4.5 touch version. No issues whatsoever. The other versions wouldn't read my external but this one does. Btw I used the image file posted on the clockwork website
I was so confused last night on which cwm to use. Can you please post a link to the team epic version that recognizes the external sd? Thanks a lot

That's very strange, because I flashed the same version 3 times from rom Manager & it did not recognize my external sd, and the same with the touch version? I'm pretty confused here why it would work on one Tmo phone but not the other & I've found posts in other threads now that confirmed other Tmo users that experienced the same issue I did?
5.8.4.7

Works flawlessly

can someone explain to me the difference between odexed and deodexed?
Your going to get a flame for adding this but basically odex is the system files are broken in to 2 files an apk and an odex file. It preloads the odex file to run slightly faster but makes theming impossible.
Deodex removes the odex and compiles it all into the apk making theming possible... if you search you can find a more detailed technical answer but that's a basic one

Roms have to go on internal memory to flash on gs3
this message brought to you by my GalaxyS3 running Phantom's Blazer v1.6
I don't know how you feel about using TWRP 2.2, but that recovery will allow you to flash roms stored on your external sdcard.

I would like to know what version of CWM for the GSIII your using that alows to to flash ROM's from the external SD card.
I have only found TWRP able to do this as CWM does not read the external SD card on the GSIII yet.
Need some help guys. I wanted to try out TWRP and was currently using CWMR 5.5.0.4 so I flashed and everything went fine. Didn't really like it so I odin back to CWMR. Now in CWMR it won't see anything on my ext sd card. All my files and my CWMR backups are there and usually when I go to restore I would have the option to restore from sd card or internal sd card. Now I only have the option to see my internal sd card. How can I get my CWMR to see my ext sd card again? Also I was looking for a newer version of CWMR but could only find the odin version of 5.5.0.4. Thanks again guys for any help.
A lot of the first cwm recoveries don't support external sd. Upgrade to at least 5.8.4.5.

Problem fixed thank you. But where is the newer CWMR? I can't find any good links anywhere. Even google.
www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
What didn't you like about twrp?
It does the same thing but is touch screen.
I love how I can just flash without manually going into download mode too. Goo manager does it all automatically for you through twrp

Also, just for good measure, make sure that you download team epic root from recovery zip just in case...so that if you lose root, you can get it back.

Thank you both, I did find them on my own after I posted this.
Somehow I lost the nandroid back up on my wife's phone when I put a 64gb SD card on her phone. It may still be on the internal memory, but I don't have her phone with me at the moment.

The GS3 has problems with the 64GB memory card.

Not really. A 64GB card will work just fine with one exception. The recoveries can not access the 64GB card if it is formatted as exFAT. The ROM will handle it just fine but the recovery can only handle it if formatted to ext4 or FAT32. I still have my 64GB formatted as exFAT but I do not use if for nandroids. I either backup to internal memory or I pop in my 32GB card for recovery use.
Yes I formatted the 64gb card to fat 32 before using it in the phone.
My problem is I don't think I saved her nandroid back up from her old card, and the old one is wiped clean.
Could I use a nand from from my GS3?
I know I couldn't on my EVOs.

Hi,
The USB port seems to be broken on my Roger's Glide and from what I can tell it seems to be a hardware problem. I get the "USB not recognized" message when I plug it in to a PC and it seems to be only charging intermittently. I have tried everything including different cables, USB ports, PCs and reinstalling drivers. I even tried mounting the USB in CWM but it still doesn't connect.
I had updated to the latest (stock) ICS rom from AT&T but I need to revert back for warranty reasons. Since the USB is not working I can't flash using ODIN and mobile ODIN does not support our device. I have CWM 5 recovery installed but there doesn't seem to be any CWM flashable stock Rogers ROMs available anywhere. I don't have a nandroid of my stock ROM, is there anything I can do?
Can anyone point me to a guide on how to convert a stock tar.md5 into a flashable zip? I found this after searching a while:
http://www.igottadroid.com/ModMarket/Listings/dman32851484578.html
but it's not specific to the Glide and I don't know if I need to do anything else.
I had used dsixda's Android Kitchen in the past to build a flashable zip for my desire Z but It looks like the Glide is not supported. Does anyone have any pointer to getting it working for the Glide?
I'm not certain Odin TARs can be converted to CWM ZIPs... for one thing, CWM for sure doesn't have access to BCT or EBT right now. If the ICS leak replaced the Rogers bootloader splash with the generic "SAMSUNG" one as is on AT&T devices, you have no way of changing that back.
The biggest problem is we don't know what all the OneClicks do. They might change the PT, they might not, they might change the BCT, they might not, they might have a bootloader, they might not.
You could try just sending it to them as-is. Then it becomes a question of "not covered" vs. "voiding" -- you have a leg to stand on here, because 1) the firmware presently on the device IS Samsung official 2) the flashing could not have damaged the USB port. Tell them you have your data backed up (and be telling the truth here damnit) and just want a phone that charges correctly again.
Thanks for the info. The splash screen is still the Rogers one so I am ok there. The stock ICS ROM (I927UCLH2) I have on there was the flashed with ODIN. From there I rooted it and fixed the keyboard light issue through a couple CWM flashes.
As for converting the stock TAR.md5 it looks like it is possible using dsixda's Android Kitchen: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and loosely following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390903
Since the Glide is not officially supported I am just in the process of creating an edify_def file.
Does anyone have a edify_def file for the I927 they could send me?
Thanks!

Why don't you format system and data. Flash back the stock recovery and hand it over to samsung ? And they fix it for you.

I formatted /System and /Apps and I went to flash the original recovery but for some reason CWM does not see my ex-sd card. I am running CWM 5.0.2.7 and I can only see the internal sd card. When I navigate to the external sd card folder it just says "no files found".
Any ideas?
Is there anyway to ADB into my phone? All I have left is recovery

In the phone copy the files from external storage to the internal storage.
Unfortunately that won't work since I already formatted /system. Why can't cwm see the external sd card? Am I doing something wrong?
CWM for the glide doesnt mount external sd i think :/

Use the 'recover without usb' guide by cprager in this forum. He just wrote it few days ago.

After hours of fiddling with it I managed to get the usb port working long enough to transfer a rom to the internal sd. It's so stupid that cwm doesn't support external sd cards for the glide.
Anyways thanks for help. The phone has been sent off for warranty repair now
If anyone is curious I cleaned the port with compressed air and rubbing alcohol then I pushed the usb contacts upward with a exacto knife. I had to also insert the usb cable multiple times and wiggle it around until it finally connected to my pc.
I was having trouble too, my problem was a bad usb cable. Have u tried a diff one?

Which ROM did you flash to get back to stock ? URL to it ?
CWMR 6012 has external sd support. But upgrading your CWMR v5 may be tricky without the USB working.

I used the inception rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612251
But I have to stress, the only way I was able to fix my issue was to get the usb working again (briefly). Without access to the external sd, working usb or an phone that will boot it is impossible to fix this phone. Coming from the desire z which doesn't treat internal storage as an sd card, I learned a valuable lesson about cwm and Samsung phones
Thanks, mate!
The Captivate Glide i927 I have was functional, rooted, dead USB port, and with NO recovery!!!!
I used this guide that you referred to and got a recovery on it [TWRP] and now I am going to flash LiteROM since I've backed up my current stock GB
Thanks again!!!
Hello all.
Got my Note 2, a couple of months back. Beast of a phone.
Rooted, and installed Team Asylum CM10.1 ROM [01-29-13]. Ever since installing that ROM, the external SD card used to get unmounted when i locked the phone, and re-mounted everytime I unlocked it. I thought that was how the ROM worked, until recently when the External SD card stopped working. Neither the CWM Recovery nor the ROM recognize the card anymore.
Lost my Nandroid backup too, since it was in the external SD card. But I'm hoping that if it ever comes to it, I'll be able to install Stock ROM again through Odin.
Any suggestions, guys?
Thanks in advance.
Cm10.1 doesn't support exfat format it to fat 32 via pc.
