Rom Manager Premium won't backup to ExtSD card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Rom Manager Premium 5.5.2.3 and CWM Recovery 6.0.3.2 and my problem is that I cannot backup ROMs to my external sdcard. I've gone into RMP's settings and checked 'Use External Storage' and when I'm in CWM recovery, when I choose 'Backup' from the menu, they always backup to internal sd card. And when I choose 'Backup to external sdcard' I get the message 'Can't mount backup path'. Anyone have a solution/ workaround to get RMP to backup to external sdcard?

Format your sdcard to fat32

Use CWM not Rom Manager

[Q] Internal SD has disappeared from within OS

I have searched and can't seem to find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
I am running cm7 nightly #116 and siyah Kernel (latest version)
I booted into clockwork recovery to do a nandroid backup, and when I performed a reboot afterward my internal SD was no longer visible from within the OS. My external SD card is mounted as /sdcard and there is nothing in /emmc. I tried removing my microsd and when the phone boots it does not see itself as having any SD storage. (neither internal nor external)
When a run a df -k from the terminal I do not see my sd cards partition.
However if I boot into clockworkmod recovery I can still browse the contents of my internal sd partition with no issues. (via flash zip from internal sd card) Does anyone know what could cause this or what method I should use to try and fix it? I believe my backup should be ok.... but I have no method of getting the files out of my internal sd because when I "mount usb storage" it only mounts the external sd.
Fixed. Formatted system and did an advanced restore from an old nandroid backup. Reboot and voila.

Can't format internal sd card - /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: no such file

My phone (Omega 13 - siyah kernel 1.5.2) works great but i can't do a full wipe, format INTERNAL /sdcard, restore nandroidbackup or mount internal /sdcard. The error log by cwm recovery is that:
checking for extendedcommand...
skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: no such file or directory
W: filed to mount dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (file exists)

error mounting /sdcard!
I hope someone can help me, thanks!
p.s. i have no external sd card insert in the phone
look for a file called superwipe, or megawipe. this will format the internal card however you do need to backup your memory card, you will loose any non backed up data... doing a nandroid backup will NOT back up the internall sd card...
Last time I check, mmcblk1 is external SDcard and not internal SDcard
I understand why it does not work: it try to format external SDcard but as you said you have none
Which recovery do you use?

I supposed that it could be this. I use cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5 (built-in omega 13)
Sorry but i'm android noob i think that recovery is installed on nand but it's built-in with custom rom, right? how can update i my recovery?
This error is strange because even if it does not find a external sd should still format the internal sd instead the process stops

No it could not switch to internal: command are created with a fix mount point in them so it only apply to this mount point and nothing else
AFAIK, the only thing that can format your internal SDcard should be a factory reset but it will also erase all your apps/contacts/settings in the process so make a backup if needed
There is maybe "format /data" in recovery but I am not sure if it will wipe the full internal SDcard or just the /data partition which contains your apps

very thanks
Format data is data only not sd card ..
Custom roms may have recovery built in or not .

[Q] twrp

I have twrp on my sdcard and sdcard ext_sd where is it supposed to be?
If you boot into twrp without an ext sd installed it will automatically make a twrp folder on your internal storage therefore giving you an int sd & ext sd twrp folder.
Since my downloads go into my ext sd,I would probably use twrp with that partition also because it may take away mounting complications

Help! Stuck on CWM when trying install CM10.1

I was following Quinny889's method to install CM, but after step 9, booting in CWM, I couldn't find the option to install from my ext sdcard. I have the rom stored on my ext sdcard...
any idea, please?
I think you have to mount your sd car. You can do that in "mounts and storage" section when you enter CWM.
it the external sd doesn't work use the internal. you can copy the zip into internal through sde. goto developer menu and something like export data partition. connect to pc and copy zip. then go back to cwm

twrp trouble

i have installed android 6.0.1 with twrp 3.1.1-0
and i cant install anything from internal/external memory , cant see anything in file manager(twrp) , wtf where is my internal in twrp?
I assume that with internal and external storage you mean /sdcard0 and external SD card? Check in TWRP if everything is mounted. If yes, try out an older TWRP build.
BTW, how did you repartition?

no everything not mounted , just blank window (select storage), also i cant see anything in partition SD card , blank aswell ,
There is a submenu somewhere in TWRP (I think 'mounts and storage' or similar). There hit 'mount sdcard' - is this option available?
