I would try what BHP recommended. So does it not give you the option to back up to external SD card?

You using a 64GB MidcroSDXC card? If so if it's extFAt that would explain why you couldn't copy to it.

You need to flash a tw loki patched kernel directly afyer you flash omega rom. Ktoonez has one in the verizon original development section that works great. Download it and flash it immediately after you flash the rom and your golden

[Q] Help! How to backup phone without screen?

Smashed my SG2 sceen, it's going off for repair and I'd like to make a ROM image back up but I can't see the screen. Any tools out there that can do this from the PC?
I've used the screencast function in Droid Explorer to make a Titanium Backup but I'd like a full ROM backup for extra peace of mind.
Any ideas?

You could try using MHL out to mirror your display to a TV.
i think you can do via adb in recovery but i dont know the commands

I'm not certain. That's why I said "try". I've never attempted it, so I don't know if it would work. The idea to do it in adb while in recovery is a better one though. A bit embarrassed I didn't think of that instead of the MHL idea.

I used this in the end. And it seems to have worked. Was a bit nervous doing it though. Now just got to wipe the phone and put on the stock rom ready to go for repairs!

[Q] The files on /sdcard/ and /external_sd/ are reversed. Help !

So I just flashed an update of Resurrection Remix rom from 1.9.1 to 2.4, at first it was working fine, then, I noticed that the usual internal memory card files were in /emmc, which was typical for AOKP roms, so I went and looked for the solution, and then, theres this post about a workaround, right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568 and so, it said to install directory bind and all that stuff.
Well because I'm stupid, I rushed and ticked the 'transfer files from target to data' which was not the thing to do. So all my internal files from /emmc went into external_sd.
So to sum it up, the files originally from my /external_sd/ went into /sdcard and the files from /sdcard went into /external_sd/.
I actually restored from the backup and thank goodness it was back to normal, BUT! I really liked that update but whenever I reflash that update back, for some reason the problem returns.
If anyone can help me, I'll be deeply in gratitude

You could try but i doubt that. Just to make sure make a nandroid backup first. Do a factory reset and flash the rom you wanted and see if it fixes it. Anyway, you could just restore your backup if something goes wrong like you did before.

[Q] I'm getting E:can't mount /emmc/ when trying to flash. How do I fix this?

Basically, I went to flash AOKP and a a fluxi kernel update today since I hadn't updated in a week and when I went to choose the file from the internal SD card, I'm getting the message: "E:Can't find /emmc/"
I have no clue how this would happen at all nor how to fix and I don't have an external SD card. Anyone know anything about this or how to fix it?
Sorry, I can't help
But I am in the same boat....
Try reflashing the orginal firmware and bootloader. It worked for me on my mytouch 4g.

Thanks for all the support guys. Looks like I should have stayed up a little later.
I'm downloading the stock stuff now and I'll see how that goes.
@pirateghost- I can get the ROM on and flash through the sdcard, but the external card won't mount through CWM. It's also having different issues once I am running the ROM (Gallery not showing images, but showing music... weird stuff). I'm not totally effed, but I would like to have my access back.
That's if I understand your suggestion.
Thanks again guys.

Well, I found one in creepyncrawly's signature but I'm hesitant to use it...
(If I did use it though, would I throw it in the .tar file and change the .ini file for odin?)
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
I'm not sure all hope is lost.
I think that I just have a limited understanding of the situation...
So I'm back to the stock ROM and the gallery app picks up the photos on my sd card. Not only that, but esfile explorer says that there is a /sdcard/external_sd/ path and allows me access to it. Plays music and all that stuff. Pretty cool, huh?
So at that point (last time and the time before that) I was tempted to root, which I did using zedomax/odin. All went fine, but that's when I lost access to the external card. Again.
Weird.

[Recovery] TWRP 2.2.2.1 for the GT-I9300 International SGS3

I managed to compile twrp for the SGS3 GT-I9300. I loved this recovery on my SGS1 (until I couldn't get it to activate on devil kernel) and my Galaxy Tab 10.1. It has saved my rear end several times while testing the A1 kernel. With its on recovery terminal I could dd flash the stock kernel. CWM Touch is nice but I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE the blobs backup format. It makes it darn near impossible to save nandroid backups on your computer. I can understand the logic behind the blobs format but I still hate it. Also, I think it's a shame that the American/Canadian Qualcomm SGS3 has TWRP but the international power house doesn't.
I just downloaded the twrp source a few hours ago so this is TWRP V2.2.2.1. Unfortunately, the external SD does not mount but I did manage to get adb to work. I think that you could always adb push a rom zip in the event you cannot boot, forgot to make a nandroid, and forgot to have a "just in case" zip. Also, when rebooting, YOU MUST CHOOSE REBOOT SYSTEM. If you just poweroff, it will reboot into recovery the next time. If you forget and choose poweroff and it reboots into recovery, just choose reboot system and everything will be fine.
Attached is A1 (the character my A1 kernel is named after) holding my I9300 showing the recovery. The source is also uploaded, which includes files that I've changed in case anybody is interested to know how I did it. There is a rootzwiki page with instructions I followed. Just a few minor deviations from the instructions. I did "make recoveryimage" instead of "make amp amp..." that they recommended. And the obvious deviation, our device is called i9300 not tenderloin. That's the HP Touchpad.
I flashed the latest CM10 nightly from it, the latest siyah kernel and a touchwiz zip and nothing went wrong. Also tested backup and restore. Went fine.
Here is a youtube video demonstrating TWRP on the Galaxy Nexus by some random person on youtube.
Credits: team win, siyah kernel developer (recycled your zip to make the recovery zip). None of the code is original from me. I only tweaked the recovery.rc to enable adb.
sounds Good .
I'll wait for few replies
and I'll test it myself later on
Could you add A video of you showing all the menu's around this recovery ?
one more thing:
did you check that all the functions are working ?

Checked flashing. Flashed a cm10 nightly, siyah kernel, cm camera fix, touchwiz launcher. All of those are working. (Say what you want about touchwiz but Ive always liked the launcher) Just checked backup and recovery.
And... my phone is not yet dead as evident from my signature. Video?? How?? Just tape it running from my tablet??
Sent from my GT-I9300
yea if you could film it from your tablet or even post an video that shows this recovery on S1 ( you said it was used on s1)
btw where did you find camera fix for cm ?
Edit:
found this video on youtube add it to the main post
this recovery looks amazing
I just flashed this Recovery seems Good one thing bugs me there the slide to confirm it's not smooth but besides the smoothness of the it's great
Thanks for your effort. I love this recovery, it rocks.
I use it on my Asus TF300.
Please also add externalSD support.

Dont give BS m8, it took 7mins to backup ARHD ROM. HOw can you backup almost 2gb of rom in 10secs?
BTW great recovery, much better than CWM been using for ages. Thanks.

[Q] phone bricked in twrp mode with no rom? help!!!

hi ,
i try to flash a new rom from the phone turned out that was not the correct zip file i downloaded. now i wiped cache and system and when i try to system boot it says no os so i cannot boot again. basically i'm stuck in twrp. can somebody please help. how should i flash new rom ?
Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .

There should be two choices, flash from internal and flash from external. Did you choose the correct one?

sd card but can from adb sdk whatever. but i cannot seem to figure out head or tail even if i read the steps .

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

That was my next question, what zip, exactly, are you using?

That error will always happen. You can safely ignore it.
Wait so if you can get to TWRP why not just push the zip you need using ADB?
