You can put the flashable zip form here

On your phone's internal sd card.
And flash with TWRP.

I can't seem to get cwm to make a nandroid backup to the external SD with my att gs3. Other people seem to be able to do it but I can't figure it out, any suggestions?
+1, i cant seem to get my sg3 to mount extsd...i tried to install zip from extsd, and im getting an error, cant mount extsd...help...thanks in advanced...
Hello.
You need to make sure that the external sdcard is using FAT32 as it's file system, as CWM doesn't support exFAT or NTFS.
Thanks, now on to my next problem...my card was formatted to exFat...and when I'm trying to format it with my computer, it's only giving me the option to format it to exFat and NTFS...how do I format it to fat32? Thanks in advanced...

You could probably do it with third party software or within CWM recovery consol. I am able to format my 64Gb card to FAT32, but according to Microsoft, 32Gb is the maximum volume size for FAT32 file system.
What is it listed as in cwm? I dont see extsdcard.
If I recall, there are two different versions of CWM 5.5.0.4. The first version of the that came out before the tool kit for US SGS3 was released and it didn't have the option to save a backup to the extsccard. I believe that the CWM in the tool kit has been modified to allow backing up to the extsdcard.
After reflashing the CWM recovery to my suprise the version number is still the same but now it the backup and restore options there is listed as follows. (I don't recall these additions to the earlier version of CWM 5.5.0.4)
The changes I noticed will be marked with asterics.
backup
restore
advanced restore
*backup to internal sdcard
*restore from internal sdcard
*advanced restore from internal sdcard
I don't recall seeing the options before to backup to internal sdcard. Did you install CWM from the Tool kit?

FYI. I have been an iPhone user since the first iPhone simply because I didn't know about Android at the time. I was getting very sick of apple's control over the whole user experience so I decided to look at the Android system. The SGS3 is actually my first Android phone and while I'm not new to jail breaking the iphone, I am new Android jail breaking - if you will, and I find it far superior to iOS.
There is so much to learn things of wich that have been learned over the years, it's a little hard to figure out where to start.
I hope you have success as I did. Nandroid backups and restore to the extsdcard seem like a must.
Okay guys thanks for all the help...what I had to do was d/l a 3rd party app, and that did the trick...and now cwm recovery is able to mount my extsdcard...Thanks...remember to back up all of your data to your computer before re-formatting...

what 3rd party app did you use
I seem to be having the same problem. I can't see it in cwm. However, I can go into partitions, mount it (still doesn't show), and format it. After I boot up it does show that it's formatted.
Ihave formatted using a3rd party app on my pc. I have formatted using fat32.
But sure what I am missing to get it to work in cwm. I did flash using the kit. Didn't know there was a different version....

Is it the one refered in post #7? Which one did you use? There is one that is 7,000kb and one that is 556kb (this one says it is version 0.87 whereas the one I have says v3.0.7 on the zip file).
Thanks
It's the link in the first thread. The one to the rootsprint.zip file. In that zip contains the cmw for rooting the tmobile s3.

Thanks but I need the Sprint. I know this says it is for the Sprint Siii but the root method I used said to use CWM v3.0.7. Not sure if this version will work. Don't want to risk it.
so, if you watch the video in that thread it says it is the same one for the sprint. Anyway, does anyone have a link to the "good" cmw that will see my sd card?
I don't think I can link to anything yet, but the CWM version I am using is from the US Toolkit for AT&T, which is hosted in this very website.
the backup and restore options will backup directly to the extsdcard, you'll know if you have the right version becuase you will have the option to back and restore to the internal sdcard too.
For those of you that are wondering what 3rd party app i used to format to Fat32, i used easeUs partition. i dont have the link but i know that google should give the results your looking for...hope this helps...

OK I wasn't sure of that. When I just try the "backup" option it says "can't mount backup path". I'm assuming its because my 64gig card is formatted to exFat instead of Fat32? Does the "format sdcard" option format the internal or external SD and if it is for the external will it format it to Fat32? Sorry for the noob questions.
thanks.
found cwm v4 now all is fine.
Hello,
So I have a I9300 intl and after flashing a custom ROM i seem to lose anything that was on the internal memory, but it is still there i just can't access it.
does anyone have any ideas?

what do you mean?
At a guess you are flashing Aosp Roms and ending up with a sd/0/0/0 etc situation, so it pays to wipe sd card if you keep flashing so you just end up with the initial sd/0 situation where the files are easily retrievable, it's a pain in the ass basically!

with 4.2 rom like CM10.1 your sdcard is mounted in a diferently way because of multiuser functionality. So, you could access your things somewhere in /mnt if you have root and move them to the new sdcard mount point
In 4.2 sdcard/0 becomes your sdcard/, you can't access the root of the storage
happen to me too..
Need help too..

My friend has a Galaxy Note and he has forgotten the lock screen password. I rooted the phone and also installed CWM and did a backup. He has files on the phone (pictures and sms messages and more) that he wants to save and a total wipe/hard reset is not what he wants to do at this point. Is there anything I can do to this phone to get around this forgotten lock screen password?

Thanks for the suggestion but it says 'not compatible with this phone'. His Note is on AT&T and I have no idea why it's not able to be installed.
Flash latest twrp in PDA slot with Odin..it just replaces recovery. Use the recovery file manager to move files to external SD card. Wipe except external. Reflash ROM. You now have access to phone. Files should be safe on external SD card if you didn't wipe it.
You also could mount phone to PC through recovery and transfer files to PC. Then just wipe everything and reflash ROM. Then move files back. Easy way.

I was able to get around my PIN lock by doing this (I'm on stock odexed ICS):
1. Dirty flashed JellyBam ROM. It didn't boot all the way (no surprise) so I powered down and rebooted into CWM.
2. Then I dirty flashed BSX. It booted w/o prompting for my PIN. My phone was still setup with all my apps and launcher how I left it and my pics and stuff were still there.
For the record I am not suggestion this "method" over anyone else's. Just trying to help.

Looks like I've been sleeping on TWRP., didn't know it could do that.
Thank you so much gentlemen! I'll be able to try the TWRP suggestion on Monday when he's back at work, that's a great idea and the safest for now.
I saved the data with the TWRP and then reset the phone...thanks again Darkchyld!

when you flash an wp7 rom with one sdcard, that sdcard works only with the flashed rom!
if you wanna make it work flash again the rom and keep the sdcard inside phone

i think you get a message that says : your card is corrupted or something like that .... right ?

switch off phone remove for a few seconds the battery and press power button to release all the charge from phone then, put batterry back and try to press camera + vol up + vol down + power; keep them pressed or try cold boot .... save, or both, if none of these does not helping you it means that the card is broken
P.s.
I still insist to do again to reflash it, 'cause i had the same problem, was telling me that the sd card is corrupted and after i reflashed my prob. was solved ( if this helps you and i hope it will i used QPST to flash ) Cheers!

Hi There...
I flashed to 7.8 today but I don't have a USB option under settings, and with no available free memory I cant install anything else. What can I do??
So things happened, and now I am stuck on the EMUI recovery screen where it says "Reboot system now, Apply update from sd card, etc etc..."
So I am trying to get to Jelly Bean since Lollipop and CmMod are not so good for me.
Anyways, I need help urgently. Thanks in advance!

I just tried it again and it says OTA was not found.
I downloaded the HUAWEI MT2-L03C00B322 and dragged the dload folder to my external sd card.
Has to be unzipped
Sdcard/dload/vendorupdate.app or whatever that named it.
