I think I have the latest cwm installed. its the v5 one, and i can use my external sd card. However my problem is that when i go to make a backup it says no sd card found and then no ext sd card found. but when it finishes the backup it is in fact located on my external sd card, but the file name is weird its not the current date but like some 1970s date.
Anybody else having this as well?

So i seem to have hit a wall here when trying to get a new Whiskey rom... Currently running standard bonix, but looking to get a bit better battery life. Here is the issue.
When I get into clockwork recovery, And I go to install from SD card.... It actually shows the internal memory, and has a folder called "SD" but for some reason it never allows me to select it. It just goes back to the main folder. The log shows its trying to load it from /sdcard/sd... seems like its a mounting issue?
Of course my first attempt trying to install not realizing it was internal had write errors, but luckly I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS and got to restore a backup.
Anybody seen this issue or can advise on how to correct it?
Update: just confirmed the issue is infact that Clockwork is mounting the internal storage as the SD Card. Removed the SD card, still getting the same results. Unmounting SD card only results in error msg.
bump.... still looking for suggestions
I don't follow, is the.zip on the internal sdcard/ root (no folder)?
Not sure why your sd card would be involved. What am I missing?
perhaps I am confusing terminology? Is 'sdcard/ root' not the same as the SD Card?
No, root means not in a folder. If your zip is not pasted to sdcard/ that is likely the problem.
Ahh gotcha. I understood concept of root folder, but I missread sdcard/ to be the Expandable SD Card, which it was in the root folder of.
:O *Facepalm*
Heyy All,
I have a couple of questions.. I wanted to partition my SD card so that apps2sd would work. Here are the steps i took:
Did a nandroid backup
I copied all information from SD card to my computer
rebooted phone into recovery
chose partition SD card when finished upgraded ext2 to ext3
copied and pasted all files back onto the SD card
nandroid restored
in recovery I am able to access all files on the SD card but when i reboot my phone an icon comes up in the notification bar that looks like a SD card with an exclamation point with the error "Blank SD card or unsupported file system"
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or why my files are no longer on the SD card when I reboot my phone?
Thank you all very much!
You shouldn't have posted this in two different places. See my answer in the other thread.
Howdy,
I searched but couldn't find the answer. I have a 32 gb sd card which I inserted, formatted and mounted into my phone. I can copy and paste files from the phone storage and files to it, and vice versa, but when I backup and restore using clockwork mod, it never gives me a choice to backup to external sd card, or to restore from external sd card.
I've tried everything, but can't get clockwork mod to recognize the external sd card. Any suggestions?
Also, if I try to install a zip file from SD card, Clockwork mod does see the card and the files on it, but it just won't list it as a choice to restore from or to backup to.
AFter a bit thinking about it, I guess my question is whether I can backup and restore directly to and from external sd card, or whether I backup and restore to internal card, and then just copy the file to and from my sd card using file manager or explorer?
backup and restore should by default go to external sd. Which version of cwm do you have?

Yep, thats how it is on mine too
I've got 5.5.0.4..
I just installed the a custom ROM (latest Resurrection Remix 3.1.2, based on AOKP/CM10, as well as its recommended patch fix) and can no longer see my external sd card anywhere.
/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, and /storage/sdcard0 show the contents of the internal sd card (in file explorers like TotalCommander)
/extSdCard, /mnt/extSdCard, and /storage/sdcard1 are empty, though before installing the custom ROM it was showing the contents of the external sd card
I used ClockworkMod Recovery to successfully revert back to my nandroid backup, which was stored on that same external sd card, of the preinstalled ROM from Samsung (which was updated from 4.0 to 4.1 through OTA updates) that I had on my mobile but unfortunately in my notification area it says "Preparing SD card / Checking for errors" followed by "Damaged SD card / SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it."
But I doubt there's some hardware problem with the external sd card because it's brand new and still accessible/usable from ClockworkMod Recovery.
Hi,
I just updated from kitkat to MM. I have installed TWRP first and made a backup. After that, i could never see my sd card again in TWRP.
Now most of the apps can't find my sd card anymore.
Some do though. They can access the data, but then if you look for the card in the app it's not there.
Now I found out that this is the path to the SD card :
storage/9C33-6BBD
But some apps simply dont work with that path and say i have no sd card.
Solid explorer identifies it as the external sd card.
Why is that and what can I do about it?
Thanks
