In mounts and storage in CWM there should be an option to mount external sd card, then just go install zip from sdcard then choose the external sd card

Hey guys!
Is there any recovery tool like ClockWork recovery, that allows "install zip from external SD"?
Thanks in advance!
External SD? How would that work? Where would you put the sd?

"External" means not internal. Like memory card, the one you put to get extra memory on the phone.

But all Recovery tools work with sd card. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?
They don't instal recovery onto the sd card, but they can read and flash zip files from the sd card.

For some reason phone's original SD Card is not accessible... Tried copying the zip ROM from Mem Card to phone using ES Ecplorer, it failed...
Tried booting CM7 with ROM manager, it comes up with the following error:
"SD Card marker not found...
Error verfying extendedcommand
etc
"
Maybe you can help?
Sounds like your SD card may be corrupt in some way. I've seen that before. I suggest you copy everything off your sd card then format it, then copy everything back and try again

Formating doesn't work... It does not delete all the files...
i have my rom on my external sd so that when I wipe data on my internal it wont erase it, but when I go to apply zip from sd card it give no option for external. Only when I go inside the internal I see the obvious folder for external sd, but theres no files. I dont want to transfer my rom to internal and then it disappear when I wipe system and data before I flash the rom.
oh yeah....v2.5.1.3 cmw

you will need the zip file to install your rom on the internal sd, it will not install from the ext sd....when you do a wipe of data it will not erase your int sd, believe me I have a ton of files on my inter sd, with lots of zip files of roms that I have install.
so what you have to do if you have already wiped and you are sitting on the red CWM...is plug the usb cable to your phone from pc, after you are in cwm go to mounts usb storage...hit that, you should see it the inter sd pop in your windows explorer, copy your rom to install over to your phone, then do your wipes it will not take the files away from your inter sd...then install your rom...
the only way to errase all the information from the INTERNAL SD, is going into CWM, advanced options, erase or delete all the information with the options on there
i just booted into stock GB and did a factory reset with a format usb. After it restarted, i put the rom on my internal. I wanted my internal to be wiped clean before i installed. You just dont know the crap left behind from old roms.
I think it's because of CWM is not mapped correctly. Correct me if am wrong.

Hi,
Is it a new sd card?
Did you format it to FAT 32?
Make sure you backup all your stuff first.
Format it from the phone
Which .zip are you trying to flash? Is it anything that needs to be renamed?

Make sure that you have the recovery for the correct phone and that sd card is formatted with ext/2/3/4 or fat32
