while in any recovery be it fastboot android recovery or cwm when i try to install zip from sd card the internal card shows up not my external even with rom manager same thing .i know i did something wrong because it was worrking a few days ago
Did you update ROM Manager by chance? You ned to reflash CWM.
ROM Manager does not support ext-sd as of right now. You need to use RomRacer's CWM.

I cant get clockwork recovery to see my ext-sd I did a factory reset now I cant restore (nandroid) because it was saved on the ext sd. when I select restore it says no files found. I put the sd card in my computer, sure enough all files are there. when I try to install a new rom, I select install zip form sd card...there isnt a selection for ext-sd. I adb pushed a zip to /sdcard to get a rom installed

Which version of cwm are you using? Maybe flash the most recent recovery again. I prefer romracers.
I am trying to flash zip files from my SD card in cmw.. I go to choose zip from sd then after choose external_sd/ when i choose it, it does absolutely nothing( I hit the home button and it says no file exists but i know the files are there). I also manually mounted the SD... I was originally trying to do the fix speaker sound.. But due to the fact i could not get the sd to read, i did it from the internal memory. Now i cannot use my phone app at all it just crashes. I now want to flash a new rom on to fix the issue, but as i said i can't flash the zip from the SD. If anyone can give me some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
For flashing Roms you ALWAYS put them on your sdcard WHICH IS THE INTERNAL UNREMOVEABLE SDCARD. Your external sdcard on Samsung roms is called external_SD and in cm7 it is called emmc. On stock based roms (Samsung roms) you will always have to put the files on the sdcard NOT the external removeable sdcard.

Sounds like you already have a rom installed. Which one? Or are you still on stock? If stock, you can't flash from stock 3e recovery.
Assuming you have CWM Recovery, put the flashable zip on the root of the internal sdcard *not* the external sdcard, and not in any directory. If your directory structure on the sdcard is fairly long, the files may be hidden at the bottom, and you will have to scroll down to see them. Use the vol+ button to scroll in the up direction is easiest. Then you should be able to install the rom by selecting "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Do not use "choose zip from internal sdcard".
I am running a stock rom rooted.. I was falling a sleep while typing it.. I ment I was trying to choose the rom in CWM.. I saved the ROM on my external SD so i can try to pull the file and flash my phone to it.. What i am saying is when i go to pick the ZIP under in CWM i can't access it. As i wrote in my original post
If you have stock rom plus root by Entropy512, then the kernel is straight stock with 3e recovery, and you can not flash a rom from 3e recovery. You will need to install a kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery first. See the guide linked in my signature for detailed instructions on how to do that.
And go back and read both RockRatt's post and my previous post, to learn that you can not install a rom from the external sd card. And you should spend some time reading in general, so you have a basic understanding of what you are doing. And then do some more reading.
external sd

Why is it so difficult to put the zipfile on internal sdcard for flashing purposes,
then after flashing using a file manager simply move the zipfile to external sdcard?
Of course if you were using CWM Manager you would not have the
problem in the first place, CWM Manager (apk) can be downloaded
here: http://megaupload.com/?d=TGXMLL1G it is fully compatible with
CWM recovery but you do not need to go into recovery mode.
With this app you will have access to external sdcard with no problem.
It has most of the same options and features as you would see in Rom
Manager but it's fully compatible with our phones and flashable zipfile
roms, kernels, modems and mods. (it even installs apps )apk).
This is a perfect solution to backup and restore roms too.
(fully CWM compatible Nandroid with option to name the backup)

Sure there is try mount sd card before flashing anything,
if that doesn´t do the trick your olny option is flashing from ODIN, i can get you the stock recovery but since is need to be flashed from sd card i don´t know if that will do ...
hello, I just MAde a mistake . In recovery mode i flashed a rom then after flashing rom i wiped data and wiped partiton.
after rebooting the rom is stuck, so now i want to get back to stock but , i have not placed stock rom on internal sd card

Assuming this is a Samsung phone, Odin would be your best bet, however as you've mentioned, Odin didn't work out. Your next choice in options would have to be going with ADB and pushing a zip to the phone since it has a internal SD that can't be mounted from recovery to your PC. Hope this gives you some insight.
I do not remember the adb commands to do so nor the sdcard mount point for your device. You'll have to look for these also.

I had rom manager and I deleted it. I am rooted. I have goo manager and twrp manager.
I have a 64gb micro sd card installed with folder mount managing 3 folders.
When I start TWRP manager and set up to backup to ext sd card and then start recovery
the s4 goes into clockwork mod 6036 and cannot write to the ext sd card.
I would like to use TWRP and not use clockwork mod which I thought would be gone when
I uninstalled rom manager. I can't figure out what to do next.

You need to install TWRP before being able to use the manager. Easiest way is open goo manager, tick menu, install open recovery script, confirm.
Just as a heads up tho, many users have had issues with TWRP beyond the 2.5.0.2 release. You can find a flashable version of it if the current version installed by Goo gives you any issues.
