Updated CWM can't install zip from external sdcard?

I am trying to flash cm9. I just updated CWM to version 5.8.4.7. When i go into install zip from sdcard, there is no option to install zip from internal sdcard. When i go into choose zip from sdcard, it shows my internal sdcard (the rom is on my external). I tried to mount /external_sd and nothing changes. When i try to mount /sdcard, it wont mount.
Should i just try to install the rom from my internal sdcard? I heard that it was dangerous and it has to be the external sdcard. Is there something wrong with my cwm? I installed it by downloading the recovery.img to my internal sdcard and running dd if=... of=...
Sorry if i explained it poorly, again i cannot choose the zip from my external sdcard in cwm.

5.8.4.7 doesn't support the sdcard. I cant speak for who ever said its dangerous to flash from the internal...but I've been doing that and I haven't had a single problem.

Why doesn't the latest version of cwm allow flashing from external sdcard? Is it the best version to use?

Why? Idk.
Best one to use? Depends on you...some will like the touchscreen one others will like this one....I've never had a problem with it.

Flashed successfully from internal sd card, thanks for the help

Quickest way to Wipe device ?

I'm using as custom room and got lots of crap on my "SD" card.
I want the device to run this custom rom (or any rom, it doesn't matter)
Clean, with Clean SD card. (But the leave the custom recovery)
How can I do that?

Settings > storage > Erase phone storage me thinks.

Yes, but will it leave nandroid and the recovery files?

It will not leave your nandroid backups. Recovery will stay installed.
Copy the clockworkmod folder onto your pc, wipe sd and then copy the folder back to your phone. Backups will be safe then.

Thanks!
Are you sure about the custom recovery?
Doesn't it need the files it created on the sd card?
I mean, where does it's files located?

Yes, I'm sure. Recovery is a partition like boot, it has nothing to do with sd card and it can not be wiped without using fastboot.
Your backups however are at /sdcard/clockworkmod/, so save them before wiping.

TWRP Wiping & Another Question on Safe to Delete???

I'm wondering if within it I wiped cache (All by itself, not dalvik) if it would delete all my installed app's or just set them back to default freshly installed as if I'd never opened and set them up yet?
Also I applied this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796 on another rom and later on decided not to use it anymore, but ever since removing it I am always getting on the very root base of the phone
extSdCard (Same as storage/sdcard1 )
sdcard (Same as storage/sdcard0 )
storage / emulated / sdcard0 and sdcard1
Which of those "sdcard0 and sdcard1" is safe to delete? I suspect this is from the mod I had before...
But I wiped my internal storage before flashing PAC-man 4.2.2, but now I keep getting a insufficient storage available on certain apps.and I have 7.19Gb's of space left on the internal sd. So I believe one of those questionable sdcard directories is making stuff go there then thinking I'm out of space of stuff.

Wiping cache would not do any of that to your apps. I'm not sure about your second question. On 4.2.2 roms, sdcard0 is internal and sdcard1 is external

Ok concerning the sdcard0 folder! If you went back to a TW Rom, and you now have that folder still there! Sdcard0 you can move everything (pictures, etc) from there over to the original sdcard folder. And then you can delete that other folder. And your apps shouldn't say anything about insufficient storage!
Same thing happen to my friend on here. And he had to do the same thing.
Because those 4.2.2.Rom's create, that folder?? and you know that already!!
Hope that helps you...

TWRP Format Data
Ooopsy crapola!!! Accidentally deleted my whole external sd card somehow. When I didn't even touch Wipe - External SD in TWRP...
Trying to hopefully recover all my files on my external sd card with MiniTool Power Data Recovery. -fingers crossed!-
Well now that the external sd card is gone what does Format Data do? Does it just format the internal sd or both external and internal?

Internal SD and AOSP roms

Tried Google search and didn't get an answer to this. I flashed the PACman ROM yesterday night, and after everything booted I couldn't find my internal SD card with root explorer. Where would it be stored? I loved how responsive the ROM was and would like to try it more, but I have things on my internal SD that I need to access.
Also the SD card was not erased. I use TWRP and did a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik before I flashed. I restored my nand after trying out the ROM and everything was still there on my internal SD after reboot.

When you flash an aosp 4.2.x ROM you will get your internal SD card repartitioned and you will have a new "0" folder upon boot and all your data should be in that "0." This happens to every 4.2.X ROM because when the new update was introduced there's a feature that allows multiple users that does this. If you want to reverse this and get rid of that "0" folder so your stuff gets saved correctly and you can access it at ease first, copy all your data from that 0 folder out to the root of your internal SD. After you have moved the contents delete the folder. Now the folder might not delete because its encrypted to prevent that so all you have to do is rename that folder and reboot TRWP recovery. If you have cwm I would flash twrp because cwm doesn't have a file manager. That being said once your in recovery hit advanced I believe and then file manager. Scroll and find internal SD, then find that folder you renamed and open it. Now at the bottom right it should have tap select and then tap delete and swipe to delete it and you should be done. Hope this helps

OK so issue is partially resolved. When I am in pacman from 4-2-13 I can only see part of the files on my SD card. I cannot see anything on there from the last 60 days or so. I have been running TW ROMs for a while and in root explorer my internal storage shows as sdcard0 for them. Is that causing some sort of conflict with how 4.2.2 reads my SD card? How do I get everything on my internal to show in one folder? I thought about renaming sdcard0 to just sdcard on my TW ROM and then flashing 4.2.2 but I would rather ask before doing so.

Sdcard0 is the factory name to your internal SD card no need to mess with that, but inside that directory will be the "0" folder which is where all your stuff is if its not in there maybe its in your external SD if you have one I know my phone switches back and forth it gets annoying but I can handle it.

[Q] Galaxy Grand GT-I9082 nandroid backup question using Philz Touch recovery

Phone: Galaxy Grand GT-I9082, stock ROM Jellybean 4.2.2, rooted.
OK. I've searched enough and have a question I couldn't find an answer to.
I know how to, and have sucessfully performed a nandriod backup on this phone, but the location it is deposited is not where I want it. The file is located on my internal sd card, but there isn't much room there.
Using Rom Manager 5.5.3.7, the "Backup current ROM" location is set to "storage/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup". This is where I want it to go, but it doesn't.
Selecting this re-boots into recovery - Philz Touch 6.58.7 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1, which mounts "/storage/sdcard1". This I know is my internal sd card location because of the size noted, but this is not where I want the backup. I want it to go to the location Rom Manager is directing it to go.
Question is how do I set the navigation to this location for the back up in Philz Recovery?
Thanks from the NOOB for any insight.

Did I hear noob?
Have no fear, noob is here!
Sdcard1 is external.
Sdcard0 is internal.
Maybe u have 8gb sdcard?
Also, out of 8gb internal, 4gb is gobbled up by system, rest only 4gb is usable and shows up. So you were seeing external SD, not internal.

Thanks for the info Noobin.
Actually I had just installed a new 64GB SanDisk class 10. When either selecting sdcard0 or sdcard1, they were showing the same space available.
I'll try it again selecting sdcard1 and see what happens. What I had to do last time was copy the file over to ext sdcard using file explorer, then deleting it from internal memory, it was almost completely filled up.
At least you cleared up which sdcard was which, thanks for that.

OK this is what I got.
In Philz under backup and restore: I can select two option:
/sdcard - selecting this shows 3135mb free, 2093mb needed. This is located in internal memory.
/storage/sdcard1 - selecting this shows 401mb free, 2093mb needed. This also is internal.
File explorer only shows these available:
/storage/extsdcard. This is located at the external 64gb memory.
/storage/sdcard0 - this is located in internal memory.
In Philz under advanced menu - sdcard target: there are only two option that toggle:
/data/media/0. This is internal memory
/data/media. This is internal memory also.
File explorer shows both to be located in internal memory.
How can I configure Philz to navigate to /storage/extsdcard under backup and restore selection.
Should I just install another recovery over Philz? I have this at the ready - 4.2-THL-CWM-Touch-6.0.3.6-Baffin-Odin (tar file) using Odin.
Thanks,
