Lol, me and a buddy had the same problem. We realized we were putting our. Zip files on the external SD card. Make sure that any. Zip files you want to flash are on the root of the internel SD card of this phone.

Does anyone know if the clockworkmod/rom managed installs a file called updat.zip on the root of your sd card?

oooh i think i can answer this one!
go in to CWM and check your mounts...the sdcard needs to be mounted?
Did you use the RFS formatter?
thanks for the replies! but the mount thing wont work for i cant even go into recovery cwm! and uhm whats a rfs formatter? is it in odin?
Check drhonk's Bali 3.1 thread. In the post, there's a link to download rfs_format.zip. If logic serves me right, it'll format your phone back to rfs completely.
You just need to flash it via krylon360's CWM. Make sure you read the OP for directions though.
THANKS BRO!!! wait will it in any way like just change my phones rom?
alright, i cant place anything on my card -___- (god bless me) and uhm should i just place it in another sd card and flash it and try again?
I had this issue and I emded up having to reformat my sd card.

I'm wanting to test out another rom, but for some reason I cannot back up my existing rom in cwm. I'm currently on CM7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I choose backup existing rom, then shows the little android guy but there's the huge exclamation mark next to it. No clue what's going on. Never had this problem before.

Hold power and both buttons on the volume rocker until the phone reboots. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of power, but keep holding the rocker down. This boots you into recovery.

Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Well still no luck. After the back up says complete, this is the log info.
No/sdcard/.android_secure found.
Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd - ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete.
so I reboot the phone after that, went into cwm and there's no backup from the back up list. :/

Even the internal storage is pretty much open. I have no music/videos/anything. Maybe a couple apps and that's about it.

Have you recently tried to move any files between your SD card and PC? Sometimes cards can become corrupted, or certain files at least can also become bad and not read. The more you mount and unmount the more degraded it gets. If you tried to delete any files, did you accidentally delete something from your internal SD?
Not that I'm aware of. When I get home ill try transferring a small file over. As far as the internal SD card its fine.

Nothing at all? Sigh. I really wish I could find a solution to this.
I guess ill try out Odin to put it back to stock and then root and unlock it. I just hate the fact I can't back up anything.

You can't use the internal SD card in CWM.
Sent from my GT-S5300
put the zip on external sd card and then try flashing it.........
So I use use this phone as a play phone since I have a Skyrocket. That being said i really dont want to get negitive comments.
So I accidentally reformmatted the SD card when i was going to update the rom from a 4.1 to a 4.2
The issue that I'm having now is that the phone won't be read by the computer. I've tried 2 different things.
Mounting the usb so I can move over the ROM files and re flash. Didn't work since the computer won't read the phone
Tried using ADB to push the files but same issue. ADB doesn't recognize the phone when plugged in. I plugged in my Skyrocket and ADB recognized it.
Yes I have the drivers installed and to be safe reinstalled them. I'm running everything up to date and can't seem to find a solution for my problem.
If anyone has a solution or give me any other idea I would appreciate it.

I used the Samsung toolbox program and on that you can do a temp boot thing then mount SD card and put stuff like backup back on SD card.

Put phone in fastboot mode and flash Google image. This should fix your phone.
