Install zip from external SD missing? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have CWM v5.8.4.9 installed and a few days ago I use to have install zip from external SD but not it seems to be gone? I did use the Partition SD card in ROM Manager, would this have messed it up? I have since installed a new SD card and have flashed a new zip from internal.

Hopefully this ROM has great battery life lol but just use ROM manager and an older cwm that version don't support extsd

I installed it and I can't see emojis now. I thought the OP fixed all the bugs. Where's the most recent changelog?

E: /sdcard cant mount in CWM

I upgraded to the newest ODIN image on the SGS3 (ATT) and flashed the recovery.img , i can go into the recovery but cant mount sdcard .
I even updated to the touch and it shows the same message E :/sdcard cant mount . Any help will be appreciated as even though phone is rooted it cant flash any MODs.:crying:
AFAIK sd access is borked in cwm, try team win recovery (twrp) sd card works and Imo its all around better. If you wanted to stay with cwm there is an older version where sd card works, not sure which.

twrp back to cwmr please help

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

64GB Micro SD Card, EXFAT, and TWRP Recovery

BestBuy has the class 10 SanDisk 64GB micro sd card for 43 bucks.

I took the plunge. I've been reading a lot of posts that claim it doesn't work on the Note 2, but an equal amount that say it does. I know you can either format it in fat32 or exfat. Exfat allows you to store files larger than 4GB, such as HD movies.Is there any other advantage to using exfat than the 4GB file size option? Also, I'm pretty sure exfat won't work with TWRP recovery, right? I'd be stuck with stock recovery if I opted for exfat formatting, right?
TWRP is a recovery not a kernel. If you're running stock kernel exfat should work.

It will not find the your SD card if you try to do a backup and restore if you formatted the card using exfat. I wonder what would happen if I went ahead and installed TWRP, but when I did my back up I inserted a smaller, back-up card that formatted with fat32. I could reinsert the fat32 card only if I needed to restore the backup...

Can you do a backup to your sdcard? If so, how?

I have no idea. All I know is on my ATT Inspire the nandroid backups were always stored on my SD card using CWM.
For CWM, if you want to back up to extSdCard, you have to select "backup to external card" or something like that.
for TWRP, the latest version supports exFAT & when you are in backup, you can select if you want to backup to internal or external sdcard. its a radio button.

Pretty sure I saw one of the TWRP developers say today that it does not support exfat... could be wrong though.

People are saying clockwork mod rom manager does not support note 2 yet. I think you can use Odin to install it however. Maybe it's just that the app doesn't support note 2 yet. I wonder if I should just wait until the goole play clockwork mod app adds note 2 support. I suspect it won't be long.

The latest version supports exFAT because I'm using TWRP with a 64gb formatted exFAT & the dev released a version that supports exFAT in the TWRP thread.

You don't need to use ROM manager because CWM & TWRP does everything it does and if you want to update CWM then you'll have to use ODIN.
Can you post a link to the version of TWRP that supports exfat. I can't find it. Is it just the latest version, 2.3.1.3?

Just download GooManager from the Play store and select to install Open Recovery (like previous poster said). The first few releases of TWRP did not support exFat, but the dev was nice enough to add it.
I just booted into TWRP and confirmed it's there.
Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for clearing this up! The developer of TWRP should consider noting that TWRP now offers exfat support on the TWRP OP. That's a pretty big deal IMO.
My phone arrives Monday, but my 64gb card probably won't be here for a while. In the meantime I will be using a 32GB fat32 card. Any harm in just powering down the phone and switching cards when the new, larger exfat card arrives? Switching cards never seemed to be an issue on my old Inspire. I mainly just use the card to house music and movies.

Can't mount ext SD card after installed Wicked rom

I can't mount the ext SD card after installled Wicked ...Plz help
format the SD card to fat32

i did but same thing
I am having the same issue. I have a 64gb Samsung SD Card
There's a patch you need to flash to get the SD card to work. Something about rooting needing to flash a new kernel. The new kernel breaks the SD card mounting. There's a fat32 patch you can flash to get it to work. Lemme find the link, its here on the forums. I had the same issue. Flashed the patch and its miraculously working. I'm sure its the same issue when you flashed the new ROM. Stand by.

Correct. Ktoonsez's is one of them. Grab a stock kernel for backup, but I haven't had any issues with flashing it. Totally plug and play.

Is it ok to complete change sd cards when I've got a custom recovery installed?

Ok, so this is probably a stupid question, but the last time I tried to do a factory reset on my phone and install and format a new sd card I ended up soft bricking my phone and I don't want that to happen again because I don't have a computer at my house. But...if I'm running stock JB 4.1.2 flashed thru odin, rooted, and I have TWRP installed can I change sd cards without a problem? Or, are there files on my current sd card that the phone needs to read the recovery or root or whatever? Thanks.

I may be wrong but I'd say you need your SD card with your recovery on it to be in your phone.. I've never really tried removing the SD card.. Good question tho.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking but I needed a second opinion. I am wanting to switch sd cards bc I've got way too many pictures on it and I really don't have time to borrow someone's computer and sit down and go thru what I to keep, then organize them all and put them on disc....so I was hoping to just start fresh on a new card for now, but it doesn't look like it's gonna be that easy. So, would I have to put the new sd card in my phone then flash the recovery via odin? Or would I have to reflash the stock Rom or what? Any suggestions?

Just turn your phone off and switch SD cards. Nothing should happen to your recovery.
What about super user

I don't know what to tell you. I have no problem switching SD cards. Did it earlier today.
My guess would be to make sure to have either twrp or what ever recovery you use on the new SD card you want to use.

When you flash a recovery it is installed to your phones internal memory. Not to the external SD card.
