Make sure your sd card is formatted to Fat32. You'll lose the ability to transfer >4gb files.

Thanks i kinda figured that was the issue that it doesnt support exflat. how would i go about installing team win recovery if i have clockworkmod installed same way with odin? i know team win supports exflat
Another question that pop in my mind would i be able to back up my rom on a differnt sd card with clockwork.

Just download "GooManager" from the Play Store. Press your menu button and select "Install Open Recovery Script" and the latest TWRP will install.
In regards to CWM and two sd cards. Sure can, but who really uses two external sd cards for one phone?

I'm on CWM right now...I just got done completely wiping the phone and went to restore a backup I have and I get this error:
MD5 Mismatch!
And it won't do anything. I can't reboot the phone because I just wiped everything, so I have no where to go. Please help!
RUU?

What does that mean?
I think my only option right now is to go to the store and buy a microsd card reader so I can put a rom zip file on my sd card and then get it up and running.

You're using CWM and you don't know what an RUU is...Great.
Go flash a stock ROM via USB and that way at least you will have a ROM back.
Or, go and use the mount SD card option in CWM to mount your SD card to the PC that way. Then you can copy over a ROM zip file and flash that way.
Alright I'm downloading a stock rooted rom right now.
Any ideas what caused this problem? Only thing I can think of is I made all the backups in cwm 4.0.1.5, but I went back to 4.0.1.4 because of the charging issues, and 4.0.1.4 was the one I was using to try and restore my backups.
I just want to know for next time.
I'm pretty sure that means there was an error signing the backup.
You also didn't have to buy an SD card reader, you can mount your SD card in CWM under mounts and storage

After I get this up and running I'm going to try and do a backup with 4.0.1.4 and make sure it works with that version.
Whew, back up and running on stock rooted rom.
So I rooted through the NV recovery flasher and flashed miui I wanted to switch and try eagle blood. But my recovery is being dumb and won't let me make a nandroid it say cannot write sytem data or something.

Do you have a physical sd card in the phone. The backups made in CWM are made to the 'external sd card' which is a micro-sd card you insert into your phone. If you are just using the internal memory I believe the backup will fail as it is looking for an actual sd card. Sounds like you are using ROM manager also. Probably the same reason it cannot download any other recoveries. But you should only flash a recovery with NVFlash. ROM manager does not install recovery to the actual recovery partition and does what people here call a 'fake flash' and is storing the recovery image elsewhere on the phone and tricking the phone to boot into it by having recovery apply an update.zip at boot. Use real recovery not fake RM recovery.
I figured it out, its just that my SD card went bad it wont even let me format it again. I pit a new SD in there and its working just right. Any one have any tips on the SD card card dying?

Is it a cheap Chinese SD card? If so just break it in half and throw it away. If a good card try deleting the partition, create a new partition, make it active and try to format it. There are also freeware apps you can download to try and repair sd cards. if that fails toss it, its life is over. :-( Not worth risking your device on a bad card. I had a cheap Chinese chard in a BlackBerry and the BlackBerry kept running erratically and rebotting, etc. It turned out to be the sd card causing all the problems. Once I put a new one in the BB worked with no problems again.
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?

If on internal u have to select install from internal

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.

Is there any way on the gs3 to save your nandroids to the ext SD card?
Mine shows the option greyed out.

If you booted into CWM using the EZ Recovery app then you would notice that you can manually save backups to either sd card.

It might also be that you don't have your external card formatted to fat32. CWM doesn't like the exFat format that I believe all big cards come in.

If your talking about rom manager then yea thats normal!
On a side note, I recomend flashing files manually in CWM recovery...you would not believe how many threads I have helped folks get out of a softbrick or bootloop situation by flashing with rom manager. The app works great, but you still need to know the background information on what your flashing! To many people think since they can pull the file up on RM, it must be compatible, or they flash with the wrong recovery = soft brick! Part of the main reason my guide is written in its fashion...provides proper instructions to flash, makes one read a bit, and repeats its self to pound the info into ones head. Not tryin to preach to ya, just wanted to share some possibly useful info to yourself and others. thx
I was wondering the same about saving to external from rom manager. So our only option it looks like is to boot to recovery and manually go to save it to the external sd?

It is okay to do a full format for your internal memory, if and only if you don't need anything on your SD card. Be sure to have copied everything you need to another storage before proceeding. But how can you flash a ROM from CWM if you formated everything. Just format after flashing the ROM not before.
Why you can't backup using CWM?

If the ROM is on an external sdcard, it shouldn't matter. still, that is good advice, as accidents happen. For instance, when i started using twrp I formatted my external sdcard instead of my internal, and lost my backups. Live and learn..

CWM will not backup my ROM and i think there might be some corruption on the SD card because CWM goes throught the motion of backing up the rom but says it cannot find SD card or SD ext.
Can i reinstall CWM over its-self?

Are you certain there is no backup? I know i have had it say something like, can not find SD ext skipping SD ext, or something, when using cwm, and it really didn't matter. Uhm, but yeah, you can always reflash it or try another custom recovery, like twrp.

What i have learned is that in JB 4.2. CWM put these backups in a safe place on the SD card (cannot find the with a file explorer) but when i use CWM to ro restore my image it does it 100%
Don't know how to backup to ext SD.

If you use Philz touch recovery you will find the option to backup to external sd. I don't remember if it's possible with Cwm too.
