Hi, I'm stumped and I've seen others post who are experiencing the same thing I am:
I don't see my 32Gb SD card when I boot into recovery?
I've tried updating to the newest CWM and then I even reformatted the card in this new phone and still nothing? All that shows up is the internal storage? I can see the card in all other cases, like to save/play music/photos and the likes...I'm stumped, anyone have something I can try?

CWM 5.8.4.7 is the latest version that will allow you to flash from both internal and external.

I guess I wasn't clear, I have the newest cwm on my phone.

Thanked you by accident, but if you are using a repack kernel than you won't be able to. Try flashing stock.
Oh boy...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
What modem and kernel are you on?
You have to unmount the SD so it can install on the internal storage.
I have been having the same issue. Running stock kernel and unmounting SD card doesn't seem to help.
Sent from the phone my girlfriend said was too big.
seems like just another reason to stay on GB for a while...

Seem to remember something through kies...maybe im wrong but wasnt there some option when you set up the phone for default save??

Same here mine worked with an older version of cwr then installed the one from Rom manager now just recognizes inlay internal memory.

Use TWRP recovery instead.

I'm currently using it now but it makes your backup s separate from cwr so your left with two kinds of backups

Hi guys, just got my gs3 last week, coming from the evo 3d. I tried searching and couldn't find anything, but I'm sorry if this has been addressed already. Anyway, once I root, will I be able to backup and flash roms without an sd card? Im just confused because rooting doesnt require one, but I thought that doing data wipes/factory resets in recovery will also wipe the internal device storage. Clarification would be very much appreciated!!

You do not need an sd card.... Twrp or cwm will work without it... I suggest twrp... Which you can find over in the development thread....

Hope this isn't too off topic, but I have a 32gig class 10 sd card from my htc evo and am seriously considering the S3 when I upgrade. Can I use this sd card or do I even need it with the S3?

Just noticed it will not use the external 64 gb SD card formatted as exfat. Are there any newer versions that will work with it,and still be able to restore older backups. Thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
well considering CWM 5.8... what ever is old... i would suggest trying the newest CWM. 6.0.1.2
Download Rom Manager from the market to install the newest CWM.
or move your backups off your external sd to your internal sd and restore them from there...
note: cwm 5.8.... if i remember correctly had the external and internal backwards, and cwm 6.0.1.2 has them correct..
for further information, cwm has their own website... clockworkmod.com

Didn't really answer my question.. intrrnal and external are not backwards in my version. And from what I've read 6.x still does not support xfat. And also if I upgrade I will not be able to restore my backups.

Connect your card to your computer directly and format it to fat32.

Did More digging apparently EXfat is not open source so even the latest recoveries ie 6.0.1.2 don't support it .

I read a while ago that becuase it would require a license from Micrsoft, CWM will never support exFat. I strongly suggest that you don't format your 64Gb card to FAT32. The performance of that card will degrade greatly. You should just get an 8Gb card to use with CWM.

I don't understand how that is possible, when exfat is significantly slower that fat32 by design...

I was having no problems using and accessing my external sd card from within CWM. Than after some flashes and wipes trying out different roms, and even a complete reset to original rom through ODIN to try and fix it. I can no longer use my external sd card in CWM. It says something along the lines of E:/ cannot mount external sd. Does anyone know what could be causing this, and if there are any solutions?

If the card still reads on your PC I would try to take everything off it and re-format the card.Also maybe try TWRP.I don't have CWM right now but there is probably a selection in it to mount/unmount sd.I know in TWRP the option is there.
HaHa, I had the same problem last night and after spending 5 hrs +, I finally fix it...
After flashing some PA, Jellybam roms, both recovery and the rom can no longer see my mircoSDXC 64gb card. Flashing the latest cwm or twrp did't work. Doing numerous quick and full format on the card to fat32 and exfat didn't work. Restore the stock rom and finally the rom can see the card; however recovery still can't read it. Formatting the card with the rom didn't work. Went to the store and grab a brand new card and still no luck. FINALLY... odin a new cwm recovery fix the problem.... :banghead:

Did you use goo manager to flash? That just pushes the recovery img to the phone not flash it. Ive never had a problem with TWRP with any phone or tablet ive used. CWM on the other hand....thats a different story.

Here's my data point. I had the exact problem of clockworkmod unable to mount external sd card while making a nandroid backup. I tried it via the paid ROM manager plus app without any luck. I sent them a log file.
Then I tried goo manager + twrp and it worked. I donated to twrp.

GooManager/TWRP worked for me.
Sucks trying to use internal memory to flash with only 16GB total.
This is a limitation of driver support for ExFAT, you can force windows into formatting fat32 using a 3rd party utility like this one:
