Can CWM install an update.zip from the external sd card? How?
I don't have access to a pc or have cable to flash after formatting the internal sd so the external card is my only option it seems.
Any other recovery suggestions?
After a drop down, my phone started to beep and charge itself without connecting to charger or USB. Usb couldn't recognize it as USB2 device, so I'we done a factory reset, every thing was ok but CWR can't see my sdcard.
I tried, stock rom, custom roms, repartition, format, kernels, older cwr, nothing, so I'am stuck with odin.
Can u help me, pls.
RESOLVED. - clean flash new stock rom
Can your phone when on see the SD card? If it can, and you're just wanting to flash .zip files from CWM recovery, why not put them on the internal storage?
I can acces my internal storage, with file managers but not in cwr, he can't find any files or folders on my internal (USB) storage.
Im sure cwm doesnt read external sd card
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I have no external sd, this is about internal storage card, what is not recognized by cwr
So why did you say can't acces my sdcard?
Are you sure you're using CWM recovery correctly? For example, Apply update from .zip file on SD card --> choose zip from internal sdcard.
Note, I said choose zip from internal sdcard (5th option), not "choose zip from sdcard".
You are right the new CWR has separated options.....
Meanwhile a got it, after installing new Sijah
Can u install rom to external or set it to instal apps directly to external sd?
I have no idea what you're asking, but didn't you just say you don't have an external SD anyway?
With my old (broken) rom, i couldn't acces my internal storage with cwr, the new cwr 5 has separated storages as you mentioned,
Now i reflashed clompletly my sgs and i can see all my files and install .zip. so i resolved, it.
But hey thanks for underlineing the new options in cwr.
hello.
i don't have sd card in my SGS I9100G, but I'd like to root the phone soon.
I read few threads in here, they required me to install the .zip files in sd card.
Is it possible for me to install the .zip in internal memory instead in sd card?
Yes, a lot of the time sdcard refers to internal memory. An external SD card is never required.
For flashing with a zip file (over cwm), the zip file have to reside on internal usb storage !!
For restore and backup purposes it is better you have no sd-card, because the actual cwm have problems with sd cards.
cwm V 4.* ==> no problems
cwm V 5.* ==> problems (kitchen doesnt work 100%, backup/restore problems)
If you are using a sd-card, you will get problems with cwm 5.*
thanks guys,
i thought the one they referring the sd card is for ext sd card.
thanks again guys for quick response
Hi guys,
I'd like to format my SD car prior to flashing a new ROM as it's all very messy now with tons of random old folders and such. Is there a preferred way to do this such as through CWM?
Also, if i were to format the SD card it would also delete the ROM zip file that i would be flashing. Is installing the ROM zip from my external SD card ok?
Thanks

1. Yes. Just use format internal sd card or (/emmc) option in cwm.
2. Yes, Installing from external is fine, it doesn't make any difference.
