I am running rushdroid now with a backup. I would like to try ThaiZ 2.7, but I'm out of space on my internal sd. Can I save ThaiZ to my ext. sd and flash it from there with cwm?

Yes, you can, just mount it from the CWM Recovery and you're set.
Thanks... I thought so, but just making sure.

Are you sure you can flash from an external SD card.
I'm really trying to work out how to do it on a Samsung Galaxy S.
I have a discussion going in this thread (How to flash a ROM with out USB) if you'd care to explain.
If you could provide pointers I'd be most grateful.
Thanks.

i cannot speak for your phone, but as an o3d user and flash-a-holic, i can readily tell you that i am able to flash/back-up roms from/into both the internal and external sd cards. i have done it countless times... if it doesn't work on your phone, maybe you can give rom manager's dev team a message

Start cwm and choose "install zip from sdcard" and on the next screen you have two options one at the top of the list(your external) and one at the bottom(your internal)

I looked for an answer before posting but couldn't find it and hoping someone can help out. I rooted my rogers skyrocket and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot in recovery I cannot see the .zip file on the SD Card but I can see it in file manager. Any ideas or solutions?
Is the zip on the external or internal SD?
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
If on internal u have to select install from internal
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
Its on the external card.
Is it on the root of external sdcard? Excuse me for asking the obvious question but a lot of times its something silly that's been overlooked.

Yes, its on the root of the external SD card but I can only see the folders and no other files.
Look at the file format. Make sure its .zip and not .zip.zip. sometimes copying files from your computer to your phone will do this.

Its .zip and not .zip.zip but I am only seeing it in the file manager or on the computer when the phone is connected but in CWM all I see is the folders of the SD card and no other file.
This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.
I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.
Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.
Try flashing cwm again or flash touch cwm.

I'm new to the SGS4G (been rooting for years since the early CM days on my G1), so please pardon my ignorance here. I'm unable to mount my SD Card with CWM. Yes, my card is formatted as FAT32 and is known-good in other devices.
If I boot into GB (VUVKJ6), then it has no problems accessing the SD Card locally or in Mass Storage mode via USB to my PC.
To get to the point where I'm at now, I followed this (to make sure I was fully stock KJ6) and then followed this beginning at step 6 (to get CWM on there so I can flash ROMs) but I get stuck at step 11 since I can't mount SD-Card.
I've tried at various stages with both red and blue CWM without luck. I've tried simply letting it mount it itself by trying to choose an update.zip from the SD Card and I've also gone into the Mounts menu to try and manually mount it.
Any thoughts?
-----------------------------
UPDATE: Solution was to format the SD Card within Android and on this specific device. I had cards formatted within Android on 3 different devices and they all had this same problem.

I just went to Red CWM (which I thought handled this but I've also tried manually adjusting it). By default (when I first boot into CWM), it displays:
- unmount /cache
- mount /data
- mount /sdcard
- unmount /system
It doesn't work this way. When I go to choose my update.zip to flash, it errors:
"E:Can't mount /sdcard"
I've tried to select "mount /sdcard" in the mounts menu and it errors:
"Error mounting /sdcard!"

Sorry, old terminology. "An update.zip" essentially means any zip flashable in CWM whether it's a ROM, gapps, a kernel, etc.

Step 11 of this guide says: "11) Flash the GB rom you put on your sd card". When I select "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard", it tells me "E:Can't mount /sdcard". I don't even get a directory structure to go find a .zip file in.
My goal: I'm simply trying to flash a ROM + GApps at this point.
Oh ok... I'm sorry never had that problem before... Then only thing I can suggest is probably start from scratch again or get and us a different sd card

Weird. I wonder if it would help if you copy all of the files from the SD card to your computer, go into Settings, SD card and phone storage, Unmount SD card, and Format SD card, if it would then read it in CWM?

Apples to apples. You mention gapps. Are you trying to get CM7 flashed? Or a custom GB ROM flashed? Gremlin Remover is a one-click odin and will work with what steps you have mentioned you took thus far.

At this point, I'm just trying to get CM7 + GApps. Doesn't matter what I'm trying to flash - Recovery can't mount the SD Card whether manually or automatically. That's the problem.

I used Heimdall to get to stock and then was using Odin to get CWM + CM7 on there. I'm at the point where I have CWM but cannot get CM7 because of the SD Card issue.

Therefore backup need choose the function of Backup to external sdcard.

Please check if your sd card is formated as exFAT.
Official Clockworkmod doesn't support exFAT formated sdcard's.
what does silence mean here? does it mean it is so stable and all working good? does it flash themes and wiping properly?
as long as wiping, backup and restore works great on this I think it this is good news. Trying this out.

As I said in the other thread, you're using exFAT which isn't supported.
Also, there is an official CWM 6.0.2.8 now, look here. (his tar has the wrong version number in its filename, it actually is 6.0.2.8)

my phone GT I9100. I formatted by my phone under ics on my 64gb cl10 card was fat32 about year ago. Recently I upgraded to jb due to boot loop peoblem, I wipe my phone including formatting msd card. This time it formatted to exfat and many problems I had encountered cwm and mobile odin no recognised it. So I should said for 64gb msd, under ics format by phone was fat32. Under jb it will be exfat.

Thanks for port. The recovery won't mount sdcard though so cannot sideload anything. Why is that?
when i go to backup my rom in clockwork it wont let me back up to ext sd it says cant find ext sd is that a reason because i have a 64gb sd or whats the issue thanks
