twrp back to cwmr please help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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

[Q] Can't restore because of sd card not mounted?

My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?
Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.
There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

Where to keep Nandroid Backup

Ok I took the plunge and installed CWM and Ardatdat Kernel. Thank you to both Ardatdat and utkanos for your wonderful work. Now I made a Nandroid backup of my phone and I have lots installed so it is big. It comes to 1.897.535.488 ok close to 2GB. Now It of course places this in the SDcard as it does not see my 32GB MicroSD card. Everything great so far.
Here is the question....
If I transfer this to my MicroSD to save room on the SDcard internal. If something goes wrong and I screw up on installing another rom and the phone does not boot, how do I get it from the MicroSD Card to the internal SDcard???
I am kinda stumped on that one. Only thing I can think of is before trying any new Rom make sure I transfer back those 2GB of Backup files to the SDcard.
Please any help on this would be appreciated.
Hey mate,
I've done the similar thing. It's a but weird having the mount point for the external sd card /within/ the mount point for the internal storage...
I thought that I had read that the mount points used in the CWM were configurable... But I'm not certain. I will have a read over some of their docos and see what I find..

I kept mine on the computer, so whenever I need to restore, it's right there.
How? Is it not only a CWM file? Can you use the nandroid backup files via ODIN? Because as I am saying, say your phone no longer boots and you need to replace the ROM and your nandroid backup is on your computer how do you place it on your phone's SD card to flash with CWM. (Assuming Odin does not work) If Odin Works then you just flash via ODIN and on the computer is fine.
Can you map to your External card via CWM?
See, I also have an HTC Desire HD for other purposes, and when I tried to put a new rom, it would be stuck at bootloop. There is this option in CMW Recovery that lets you still view the files on the computer (Mount), and exchange files. Then from there you navigate to where you put the backup via backup and restore, and boot it.
CWM should always be there with the Vol down + Power buttons, and you should be able to recover it.
It's my first time experiencing with Odin since I got this device, so I really don't know much about it.

Very interesting are you telling me that you can mount your computer's hard drive on to your phone? Is there somewhere I can read about clockwork mod?
No, he's saying that you can mount your phone to the computer from recovery.

Cool just tried this and it works great. This makes complete sense. Now is there anyway to mount my 32GB card in Clockwork mod?

Look in the CWM thread. Pretty sure it's possible, but it takes an editing/adding of code

CWM and Nandroid problems....Can't mount backup path????

I ran into problems trying to make a Nandroid backup.
Currently on CWM 5.5.0.4, Odin 3.04 and stock Rom.
I go into CWM recovery....
I select backup and restore....
I select backup....
Then I get "Can't mount backup path"
I hope I just forget something simple here.
If you guys could help, could you kinda try and make it in simple terms. I am really trying to learn this stuff, but I am just starting out, so sorry for the novice level guys.
I did try and google some info, but I feel even more confused now.
Any help would be great.....
thanks guys!!

Use this newer CWM Recovery
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM_TOUCH_7-12/recovery.tar.md5
You can flash it using Mobile Odin or Odin on your desktop.
You can find instructions on how to flash that here

The first solution to any recovery problems should be to check if there is an update to CWM, which fergie716 already linked to. This is why they release updates... because sometimes things are broken (and they only pop up in unique circumstances).
Also, I personally use TWRP, and always recommend it. I have had no issues with TWRP (when I keep it up-to-date). But I always throw in the disclaimer that backups made with CWM will not be able to be restored in CWM. If you have too many backups in CWM that you want to keep, switching to TWRP might not be up your alley.

The main reason of this problem is SD card
I was also getting this error...
After I inserted a 16gb microsd card the problem got fixed

Twrp/cwm not reading internal memory.

Anyone else having this issue? when I reboot into recovery it reads the external sd fine but when I toggle the internal button I get nothing... I flashed it from the toolkit via odin after I was already rooted through the toolkit. Problem persists on multiple roms stock, and xquisit thus far. And cwm, as well as twrp recoveries.

I've been able to use external SD storage with CWM for making and restoring nandroids as well as flashing .zip files. Just choose "Flash zip from external SD" or "Backup/Restore from external SD" in the appropriate menu.
Yeah me too, lol. I was just wondering if it was a known issue or if I screwed the pooch doing something wrong on installation.

[Q] CWM 6.0.2.5 external SD card probs?

I just updated CWM to 6.0.2.5 and its not reading my external SD card. (32gb).
example: when i try to install something from the external sd i get an error message "E: Can't mount /external_sd/
so i go back and go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount /external_sd and im getting the error message "Error mounting /external_sd!
i rebooted my phone and went into my gallery and all of my sd card contents are still there and playing...
any way to get the external sd card to work with CWM 6.0.2.5???
I had the same issue with cwm I'm sure a lot of people running cwm 6 did as well. I don't have a solution. I would switch to teamwin recovery if I were you..I'm running 3.2.2.x I've had no mounting issues or aroma sticking issues. Until theres a fix for c.w.m 6... I'm on team win. Hope this helps.

I was using CWM and tried formatting multiple times using multiple different programs with no results. I just flashed the latest TWRP via ODIN and BAM!
Success!!!!! My 64gb sdhc class 10 shows in recovery, finally.
Life after CWM
I have been a life long CWM user and lover but after today I am a TWRP fan for life (until something better comes along). I was in a panic until I found this tread! My external_sd was not mounting in CWM. I flashed TWRP from goo manager right over CWM and boom - external_sd is alive and well.

TWRP version?
What version of TWRP you got? Latest TWRP also not working for me? If you can tell me the version you are using, that will greatly help.

The app is called goo.im, it is in the play store. once installed and open hit you menu key and bring up the settings drop down, fourth option should be install OpenRecoveryScript, hit that and fallow the steps, it will overwrite CWM. That is what I did. Flash at your own risk. Good luck. I attached a screen shot of the menu.
