is my phone not reading my SD CARD?
In cwm, go to mounts and mount external SD card.

When you go to "install from sd card" are you seeing two options(should be first and last) for install from card or install from phone storage? I ask because there are two different CWMs out there.
What he means is that the new versions of cw would not support External SD even when u try to mount then.
For flashing Rom I recommend internal SD if that's what you are trying to do.
CW Touch 5.8.4.9. No ExSd
Last time just to see the difference I flash back to 5.8.4.6 and it those show both sd with out the need to mount then.
Hope this help

Formatting Internal SD Card Via CWM

Hello,
I am having a bunch of issues with reception/call echo issues while using all JB roms. I wanted to know if formatting my internal sd card and reinstalling a jb rom would help with my issues? I've never reformatted the internal sd card before because i'm worried about bricking my phone/wiping out files needed in my OS. What i really want is to clean up my internal sd card and only have files that are needed to flash a new zip/rom. Can anyone give me specific instructions on how to format internal sd card while still being able to put a rom back on my internal sd card so that i can flash roms like before. Thanks
You really don't need to format your internal storage. Try just wiping/formatting data, wipe cache, formatting system, then flash your ROM again. Let me know if that solves the problem

Yes you can flash from internal sd card. Same procedure as if flashing from ext sd card.

Hi there. You would in cwm touch choose install zip from internal instead of install zip from external sd card option. Cwm touch is pretty straight forward. Follow the choices. Also make sure you do your nandroid backup before flashing anything. You would want to save that backup to your external sd card when you get it to save device memory. A few backups on internal storage will eat up ALL your internal storage space on the phone so sd card is important to have. If your using cwm you MUST in settings specify for backups to go to EXTERNAL sd card other wise by default they go to internal storage.word of warning this will quickly use all your device storage so make certain once you get your sd to fix the settings so it will go by default to EXTERNAL sd card rather than internal device storage. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes

[Q] CWM backup

Hello,i did a cwm backup and i cant find it with root explorer or when i connect my phone to the computer.If i try to restore cwm recovery shows me backup in /sdcard/cwm/....
Why is that?
It's in internal sd card, not in external. Next time you need to choose backup to external sd card.

If you want to restore, just go to recovery and choose restore. Then you can choose one of your backups. If you dont have external sd card, then the backup is in internal memory. Your backup will have aprox. 1.5GB, I recommend you to buy an external sd card, because soon you will have space problems, specially if you perform more backups in CWM recovery.

[Q] Partition SD Card

Just formatted my SD card and now wanted to reflash a new ROM. However, there are no ROMs on my card when I look at them through recovery. The ROMs are on my SD card when I look at the SD card on my computer. Do I need to repartition my SD card? I did a factory reset on my phone and now I'm in a boot loop. Please help.
Thanks

Are you looking for file on internal or external SD? Are you in the right directory?

Ok,
1. Forget about re partitioning your card.
2. Use es file Explorer (or similar) to locate the files on your ext sd card. If you can see it/them then you know you are looking at internal storage in recovery.
3. Change to "storage: micro SDcard".
4. Flash away...
