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, 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.

I'm actually having the same issue on my phone as well with all the versions of CWM that I've tried.
The 5.8.4.7 v. will allow flash from ext. and int. the newest v. will not

i accidentally formated everything in the recovery and not sure which affected it but now my phone doesn't boot. it only starts until the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo. any help would be appreciated ><
If you have a backup you can restore do that... if not flash a ROM/kernel combo

download mode, odin, ??????????, profit
well right now i have no files on my internal sd card cause i formatted that :S
i think one way i can fix it is if i can restore from external sd card which i can't find a cwm recovery version that supports it at the moment...
Have you tried using TeamWin recovery? I cant confirm if it reads external SD but others have reported that it does.

thanks infamous_cheez
i flashed twrp through odin and flashed a new rom from external sdcard since i only have a 1gb microsd on hand.
thank you so much!
External sdcard readers and a recovery that reads external (cwm touch 4.8.4.5) ftw. I'm pretty sure twrp does read ext also though.

Can anyone recommend a touch recovery with both internal and external storage?
I currently have the latest CWM recovery but it only has access to the internal storage.
I was hoping an update will come out for the last few weeks and so far no luck.
thank you.
Try twrp. I have access to both with that.

Is there any rom that I can use odin since I don't have microsd?
Only stock based roms that I am aware of. But you don't need sdcard. You can copy them to phone storage and flash them from there.

What he said, but still I'd buy a cheap 2gb sd card at least, as you can't nandroid to internal storage methinks.
Yes,you cant backup on internal sd.
Couldn't you use twrp to backup to internal?
sent from my BAD A$$ Epic touch
You can backup to internal. You could do it on the previous cwm kernels and you can on agats kernel. Haven't tried any others.

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.

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.

Doubt its going to happen. Try TWRP, it might support it but idk.

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...
