yea, niether is mine, I was wondering if it had anything to do with the size, its a 32g? I had been planing on posting a question here soon to ask about it? I always have to use my phone as the only choice when looking in CWM?

I am having the same problem. My ext sd is not showing in cwm. My version is 5.5.0.4. The same thing when doing backups. Only internal.

Twins! Minnesota baby!

Same thing here. Ext sd was working then I flashed the newest version through rom manager and now my external doesn't show up. The card it fine and worked prior. It also works in android

I saw this too. I had an external in and had to place it in both DCIM folders and it appeared in one or the other

I flashed 5.8.4.5 via ROM manager and everything is right as rain. Both internal and external show up now.

Should have read sooner. Seems v2 was the culprit. Back to v1 for now
Use V4 it works properly. V1 has possible broken backup.

Help installing CM10

I'm having issues upgrading from CM9 to CM10...
I downloaded the zip file of the most recent CM10 experimental and when I try to install the zip in CWM recovery it says that no files were found. I can't seem to pull up any of my files on the internal sdcard.
I had no issues installing CM9 or any of the nightlies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anything I can do to check into this? I have never had any problems access my internal sd other than this issue...
Maybe you switched the mountpoints in CM9? Can you access your external SD card (if you have one) from the recovery?

I don't have an external SD. I have no problem accessing my internal SD when the phone is on but just not when I'm in recovery.

When I go into "choose zip from internal sdcard" I get the option to install emmcupdate.zip . What is this all about?
Any ideas?

Just do it the hard way. I can't think of anything else. Flash a Samsung stock ROM, then check whether the same problem exists there.

What I do is create a file on the s/d card. I name it +Flash. Then whenever I download anything to flash .. It goes into that file.
When you go into recovery and look at your files .. the + makes it be the first file. Makes it easy to find.
Hope this helps.

Thanks but the issue is that the zip file isn't showing I know where the file is stored but for some reason it's not showing for me to zip? I see the file when I look for it but when I go into recovery the zip file can't be found anywhere?

What file path do you have it saved to? Internal or External?

You most likely have placed it on the external sd card. Check. If so, move it to internal.

Is this a new thing? I used to always put zips on my external and flash from there. Now mine is similar to the OP. Some roms I put on my external and CWM sees them no problem. Other times the folder is empty. If I go in and move the file back to the internal it shows right up. It was nice being able to dump the roms on the external which has more space than internal.

I have always used the internal. I use TWRP recovery. You can select internal or external sd card to view when flashing.
Before when using cwm, I never had to worry. Placed everything on internal and it was just there when I was ready to flash. You could always use a file app to move older roms
To your external to save space. Take a look at TWRP. Its very quick for Nandroid backups.

I second using TWRP; best Recovery program, imo. I had a few problems with CWM (even Touch version) back when I started flashing ROMs, but no problems with TWRP.
There's also an issue with the External SD listing coming up under the root emmc folder, rather than under Internal; can always check there for missing files stored on your External SD.

installing custom roms

I have been having a weird problem installing roms to my rooted galaxy s3 I9300
i have the phone rooted, i have it backed up with nandroid, and i have clockwork mod recovery on the phone.
when i boot it into recovery mode the phone doesnt see the roms i have on the SD card. from all videos of "how to install" they were left in the zip folder therefore i decided to leave them there.
any ideas anybody?
Are you selecting sdcard then ext sdcard?

i was checking just sd card

(Request)

Recently somebody posted a zip file of CWM that could be stored on SD card, the point of it being that if a custom Rom is installed on a locked bootloader,thus deleting the recovery, there is no quick way to recover from any bootloop or freezing problems.
The CWM file is installed from SD card after installing the Rom and before rebooting.
I have lost the file and despite searching XDA I cannot find it again.
Anyone able to help please?

No, XParts gets deleted. This is a zip file of CWM that is stored and run from SD card.
