Sorry, but there can't be your problem. Explanation:

The android os mounts the /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 partition under /storage/sdcard1 and links it to /extSdCard.

But those names haven't to be the same on cwm. Cwm mounts also /dev/block/mmcblk1p1, but to external_sd. If the mounting fails, it's most probably because of a unsupported filesystem.

@koush:

Could you tell cwm to mount a ext4 partitioned sdcard also, please?

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Musko:
Thank you for your answer.

Then I must come back to the 5.5.0.4 version?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
For a exfat formatted extsdcard yes, because exfat is microsoft licensed :(

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Musko:
I haven't exFAT (only FAT32), but I don't see my extSDCard in recovery. Then I need to use older recovery.

Sure?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
You can't mount it? Try to install zip -> install zip from external sdcard and see what happens. Normally fat32 formatted sdcards should work.

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Musko:
I will try and report.

Thank you again.

EDIT: Something is wrong. I have FAT32 (I check it two times :laugh: ) on my SD Card, but I cannot install from it because

See in attachment.

Can you help me? What I do wrong?

Thank.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Save all your files to your pc, go to cwm -> mounts and storage -> format external sdcard.

After that copy the files back on place and check if it works then.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] noriya:
Hi im new to S3 what did i require to flash it,example root.......pls tell me.thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Musko:
Not working for me.

Because I don't have external_sd. I have extSdCard.

See attachment.

What I do wrong?

Thank.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
See at this post from me one page back. In short, that's only the name of the mountpoint. In the os it's extSdCard, in cwm external_sd ;)

when itry a backup with cwm touch and i check my backup its only 16mg? is this backing up properly? i have the version i paid for:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gio999:
There are probably two subfolders containing the backup, check the second one.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] betovanbuuren:
Is any difference when restore a nandroid backup if i select .tar format or the default format? I mean with both formats can i restore equally?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gio999:
Read the first post guys! There are answers exactly to your questions there!

Default format means backup in two folders, tar option makes one folder.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Yes it is backing up properly. The real backup is in the blobs folder

The option to choose the backup format affects only the way the backup is made, but you can always restore both types.

Is it possible to flash OTA file downloaded by system update with custom recovery manually? I mean the situation like this:

1. System update downloads OTA automatically

2. System asks me to restart device

3. Custom recovery reports error after restart - OTA file cannot be flashed

4. I select OTA file manually to flash it by custom recovery

5. Update is flashed and device is rtestarted.

If it is possible where (which folder) to find downloaded OTA file to chose it in custom recovery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saranyan:
Afaik, Nope, Remember Chainfire's initial cf-root recoveries supported ota's.

Easier option, Get mobile odin --> Just before ota, Reflash stock rom without wipe with Everroot option ticked. After ota just flash CWM touch from mobile odin.

You get to to keep root and get ota by this method.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gio999:
Thnx for explanation dude! Is the OTA file stored somewhere after download in zip/tar/_any_other_normal_ format?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bourch:
Same problem here :( Back to non touch version cause I need nandroid backup possibility
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] earthworm1102:
This is getting confusing to a lot of people. Maybe a video wont be so bad if anyone already used this successfully. It is actually a simple procedure , as we all know, it goes to backup and inside clockworkmod folder. The problem arises when we start to restore and get "error".

I tried those Nandroid backup folder from Jelly Bean (XXDLH6), and i was able to restore them without problem. I wonder what kind of recovery it uses.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Remember that cwm can't restore a backup if you rename the folder and put spaces in the name. If you do that it will always give youa md5 mismatch. Maybe that info helps?

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GabrielSousa:
mount sdcard (usb storage) on recovery still dont work on this last version :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zabalba:
I can't restore backups made in 6.0.1.0. They all say MD5 mismatch. I made a new back up and tried to restore and it says the same thing. MD5 mismatch. I copied the whole clockwork folder to the internal SD but I can't mount the internal SD. When I try to mount the internal SD the menu refreshes but it does not mount the internal SD

I updated the latest version 6.0.1.2 and still no dice.

I never renamed the backup folders. They are as they were created. Can the OP maybe shed light on this?

I need to restore one of these backups because I need to unregister my google wallet. Until then my NFC is borked.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FISKER_Q:
So i got External SD Card backups running, but i still can't activate the "External Backups" feature in Rom Manager, even formatted the sd card using the recovery just to be certain.

Is there something i'm missing to enable this or?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Iormangund:
If the issue isn't exfat then my guess would be just that Rom manager is looking for the wrong mount point. In recovery the sd card is mounted to a different place. Rom manager I doubt changes the mount therefore isn't looking where it should.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] blazingcaloy:
Question guys. .why was it when i flash cwm on my friend's gt i9300 it just keeps getting back to stock recovery 3e?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
Because he has a stock rom on his phone? On certain roms there are 2 files in the system folder that will recover the stock recovery on every reboot. You need to rename these 2 files and the custom recovery should stick. You can get more information about this (and rename the files if you wish to) in the S3 ToolKit but you need root to do it.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] blazingcaloy:
Exactly mskip it is a stock rom im tryng to install cwm. .i already downloaded your toolkit but see im not so familiar with the s3 . .im using your toolkit for gnex. Would you be able to give me A quick instruction . . Thanks man tia
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
If you have V5.0 of the ToolKit (released today) then select your build or nearest build in the Model Selection Screen, install drivers if they haven't already been installed, goto rooting options if you haven't already rooted and select option 3 (ALLINONE) it will root, flash recovery, install busybox and also rename the recovery restore files. You may have to reflash the cwm recovery if it doesnt stick the first time it will stick the second.

If you dont want everything then just select root and then rename the recovery restore files from the main menu.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] blazingcaloy:
Just a follow up though that what did you mean by boot?is it the phone in stock recovery state?haha unlike gnex that has fastboot mode im kuat a bit lost lol

Touch/Normal Recovery 6.0.1.2 i9300 CWM (ext SD card supported) flasheable zip file: http://android.donka.hu/SGS3/Recovery

If you already have an older version of the recovery (touch or normal) just flash one of this zip file from the recovery then go to the advanced menu and select the reboot recovery option.

You can easily switch between touch and normal version with this. No need an usb cable, connect to pc, etc..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] morg01:
@vadonka

I take it you don't mean exfat aswell?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vadonka:
if your current recovery support exfat then should be no problem,

but exfat dont have any reasonable advantage above vfat. i dont think its worth to use it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] temasek:
Vadonka!!!

I thought u don't have i9300 anymore?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gio999:
As I remeber after first run of tuoch recovery it asks about rename that file to avoid reflash of original recovery, right?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vadonka:
yes you're right. i sold my first sgs3 because of the black ink spots (the hungarian service dont replace the screen becuase of this issue)

but one of my friend gave me an another sgs3 as a gift :) and this model dont have the black ink spots issue (at least just only a few little small dots)

so im have an sgs3 again :)

Welcome back.

Abit off topic here but still the community here will love u when u kick start your i9300 kernel dev. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vadonka:
well, i need to investigate the kernel source first. its not the same like the o2x kernel. i have some test build already but im light years behind the siyah kernel :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] morg01:
@vadonka

I'm not quite sure what you mean, current cwm recovery doesn't support exfat, I thought you uploaded a cwm based recovery with this included hence the external sd support comment . . .

Incidentally do you know how hard it would be to implement in cwm (I understand exfat is proprietry, but that hasn't stopped hardcore from supporting it in his kernel for instance) . . . just a question I thought you might know how to answer being a kernel dev yourself.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zabalba:
Bumping my question for the OP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vadonka:
Sorry if i was not clear :)

I mean external vfat sdcard is supported.

This recovery is the official cwm recovery. I just made a flasheable zip.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zabalba:
Ok I figured out part of my problem out. Turns out for some reason 6.0.1.0 was not creating the MD5s for my earlier backups. Only reason I know this was because I made a backup today using 6.0.1.2. I noticed in today's backup the MD5 was there. I was under the assumption by looking through my earlier backups the MD5 was somewhere lost/unintelligible in the blobs folder.

After searching for a while online and I was able to find some commands to create a MD5 for my earlier backups.

Fair warning: this solution is to create a missing MD5. If your backup is corrupt, and you create a MD5 for that backup you will restore a bad backup and who knows what that do to your phone. If you are feeling frisky as I was then go on and enter these commands through adb or terminal on your phone.

Enter each command right after another. Also change the path to reflect the location of the missing MD5 file.

adb shell

cd /mnt/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-08-22.21.48.21

md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

After I found a backup I made that had Google Wallet active, I deactivated it, then restored my current rom/settings. Install the latest hacked Google Wallet, activate it (without being stuck at adding account like last time) and add my cards/payments etc.

I still was not able to figure out why I'm not able to mount the internal SD.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
Sounds like the backups weren't actually successful. I experienced this problem (where the recovery created all the files then failed at the end). It happened whenever /sdcard/.android_secure/ existed. I'm not sure whether the bug still exists in the new recovery version.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
i'm doing to try ths out. can't mount it in recovery as well

edit: done! now i can mount my external SD Card
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] samouri:
Kindly help, i flashed several times but still when i go to recovery i have the normal android recovery
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Usual generic reasons .

One bad file download .

Two not following the instructions

Three not using Samsung USB cable and main board USB port

Four Kies running in the background

NOTE: You can see whats happening in the message box in Odin. When the flash completes you should see 'RESET' in the top left the box and your phone will reboot.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
Actually no.

There is an auto recovery restore system on stock roms that will reflash the Stock Recovery on a Stock Rom. If the restore files are renamed then CWM Recovery should not be overwritten after a reboot.

You need to be rooted and then delete or rename the following files:

You can then flash recovery without it being overwritten.

You can also do all this through the S3 ToolKit ;)

Press YES.

If you press NO then when the boot complete you lost your touch recovery by the default one.

Should be possible: CWM from Chainfire has it!

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mopral:
Still quick to shoot!

1-I know that it does not support exFAT

2-I know that if I want exFAT support, I will have to flash Chainfire CWM

I download the 5.8.4.5 version from ClockworkMod ROM Manager.

which way to make the file to flash it?

recovery does stick and I can boot into this new recovery, but when I use RomManager App to do a Nandroid, system boots, (new) recovery starts and then starts counting seconds while it is attempting to mount the SD

fails after 20secs...

external SD is a 64GB SDXC, i.e. one formatted with exFAT

could this be the problem?

no such problem with the 5.8.4.3 Recovery, so I am back to 5.8.4.3 and backups to the internal SD, but of course still cannot use the external SD in the recovery
