Im using Philz recovery and I have been installing new roms just fine. I wanted to format my internal storage cause the new rom required it. and now when I go to install a new rom it says E:Cannont write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ .last_install_path. How can I fix this?
Try mounting the storage, wiping again, and try flashing again.

Yes, this. After you wipe everything reboot to recovery from within recovery. When/if prompted to install superuser, do so. Get the latest recovery as well if you are not already on it.
Good luck.

For some reason, when I fastboot into CWM and go to Android Recovery and then "install zip from sdcard", my SD-Ext doesn't appear in the menu even though the SD card is installed??
Not sure what could be going on...
Yes, that is a known bug I official cwm

I didn't have any troubles beforehand when I installed Ninja ROM. Anyway to access it so I can install my bootanimation or should I place that zip file to the internal storage? Also, I made a backup of my current ROM and this sucks since I cannot access it right now (if need be)
Edit: Nvm, I had ROM Manager installed and that is what caused the problem. I deleted the program and reflashed CWM and everything is good now.
ext-sd is showing up for me.

Flash another rom with desktop odin, or put a rom on an external sd and flash it.

No need to mount. Simply choose "install zip" in cwm.

you say you 'failed at the last second' when trying to install CM10... what actually happened?
you say you can access android recovery so I would initially try a factory reset (on the first page of recovery) 'wipe data/factory reset' and see where that gets you
report back if you require any more help :good:

I tried the wipe data/factory reset and all it does is finish up and upon reboot just hangs at the boot screen.
As for what actually happened when it failed, I got the following error
"set_perm: some changes failed"

You could try a fresh install of the CM10 rom that you have installed but first you need to do a full system wipe (go into recovery>select 'mounts and storage'> format the following >>> data, system, osh, preinstall and cache)
What else do you have installed on your sd card (that you can see in Recovery)... if the install fails again you're going to have to go back and instal a rom that you know will work (if you haven't got any on the internal sd card you are going to have to install one)

You're going to have to install it on your phone first. As your not able to start up your phone you are going to have to take your external sd card out of your phone and, using a card reader, install the rom that you want on your external card from your pc and then put it back into your phone and access recovery again.
I would recommend that you do a full system wipe before installing the Rom. After you have done the wipe go to 'install zip from sd card' and instead of selecting 'install zip from internal' just select 'choose zip from sd card' and you should be able to see the rom that you installed on your external card.

If this were me now, I would be trying a stable proven rom like CM7.2 (link here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus)
Repeat the installation process and make sure you're doing a full system wipe first.
Do not install Gapps with rom... let's get your phone working first. (just reread your post... after you've installed the rom your phone should not reboot itself?)
Ok, i found a few posts about the internal sd being cluttered with the sd and a/0 that are basically the same. Best answer was use twrp and format data. anyway i recently tried to check out the CWM, but i like twrp a lot better. Now i cant switch back to twrp, even when i select it via CWM, and want to wait to clear data with twrp................ any suggestions on how to get twrp back and or which formatting options i should use in CWM?

Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
Gent
Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.

That was the exact situation I was in. I tried mounting the ext/sdcard and transferred the rom to it, but it didn't let me to install it, it said installation failed.
