CMR, CWM or my device? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have seen this mentioned a few times in several threads without any resolve that I can find.
Since flashing CWM 6.0.4.5 it no longer will go straight into a backup or restore without stopping at the CWR recovery screen with the following error message:
waiting for sd card to mount (20s)
SD card mounted...
Verifying SD Card marker...
SD card marker not found...
Error processing ROM manager script. Please veri
fy that you are performing the backup, restore,
or ROM installation from ROM manager v4.4.0.0 or
higher.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockwor
kmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM manager to re
port the issue.
Well it has been reported several times and I am up to date with ROM manager.
Has anyone else experienced this? And if so were able to resolve it?
Maybe we can figure this out. :fingers-crossed:

I don"t know if this is related but in ROM Manager it identifies the sd card as: extSdCard/ But when booted in recovery CWR identifies the sd card as: /storage/sdcard1
I downgraded to ROM Manager 6.0.3.1 and now it will perform a backup or restore seamlessly without the error but I will not be able to flash any 4.4.x roms. Also the sd card path now states: /storage/extSdCard/
any help is appreciated!

I fixed it! I have converted to twrp recovery and rom installer as my interface app. (it was already on my device included in rom toolbox) they work together seamlessly. Thanks everyone for your help!

Cant backup ROM

I'm trying to back up my ROM via ROM manager and its not working. When the phone reboots I get the following:
ClockworkMod Receovery v5.0.2.0
Waiting for SD Card to mount (20s)
SD Card mounted...
SD Car maker not found...
Checking Internal SD marker...
Error verifying extendedcommand.
Error processing ROM manager script. Please verify
you have ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher installed.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkMod/
recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report issue.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Don't worry I've now sorted it.

[Q] Unable to mount SD card

Ever since I first got this phone, I have been unable to detect/mount the SD card in CWM, and under "Storage" in "Settings."
Oddly, I have no issues accessing "sdcard" in the My Files folder, or in Root Explorer.
Whenever I flash a ROM, I have to select "choose zip from internal" instead of "choose zip from sd card."
I have no issues with doing this, however the reason I think that I should fix this is because I keep having problems with Market FC's and "phone is not compatible" error messages when trying to get apps from the market. Also, I am unable to use Nandroid in CWM because of this.
I have followed the instructions here except I obviously was unable to format the SD card.
Thanks for any help!
I got help in another thread and fixed my Market compatibility problems.

LCD Density Modder Pro installs a custom Market app that maintains compatibility despite a changed density. Have you changed your LCD Density?

Thanks to Schwaxdoc for that.
So no more issues with the market anymore. I'm still interested seeing if there's anything I can do about my sd card not mounting.
I've had the same issue, ROM Manager tells me that the SD card needs to be mounted when it already shows as mounted in settings OR it says "unavailable" in the space for both internal and external.
I can fix it by removing the SD card, turning off the phone, inserting the SD card, and turning the phone back on.
It almost always reoccurs every time I flash a new ROM.
I'm having the same problem, and I've tried to use seanscreamz fix in the link you posted but that didn't work (but, like you said, since I can't mount the sd card I can't format it ).
Does anyone have another solution? Even after going back to stock, wiping data, cache, system etc. nothing seems to work. I can't use ROM Manager, can't restore nandroid backups, can't mount the damn sd card!
I've attached a picture of the Storage display if it helps (USB Storage appears to be my sd card and the sd card is 0 out of 0).
Woo hooo!!! Fixed it. I can now run Nandroid backups and presumably restore them.
I'm not sure what worked, but I think it was flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager. The Odin-flashable cwm I had didn't have the options for "Backup to Internal SD Card", "Advanced Restore", etc.
Other things that may have helped:
--Tried seanzscreams repair here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21424179&postcount=1 (but obviously couldn't format the SD Card that I couldn't mount).
--Flashed back to stock, wiped data/cache in 3e recovery.
--Rooted, then clean install of Alien 5.5 rom using DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE first (new! found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706)
But I'm pretty sure that flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager was what fixed it.

SD card marker not found?

I was just doing a regular CWM backup on my phone when I saw this message. It's the first time I've ever seen it. It managed to continue to backup though. Finished all the way through to generating MD5 sums. Booted alright into my launcher. I'm just concerned because this is the first time I've ever seen it. Can anyone clear this 'error' message up for me? Thanks.

just verify if ur backup is getting installed to internal sd or external..
are u using CWM or rom manager for backups???
that created an error for me... while i was using rom manager to get backups..
if yess try nad format ur card as fat 32 using windows.. might help..worked for me though..
I use CWM directly to manage my backups. My backups are stored to my external sd card. Like I said, no problems with the backup though. It's just that the error message mad me raise my eyebrows. Will attempt another backup sometime today to see if the message persists.
I too am having this same issue.
Backup of ROM from within ROM Manager app ends up in SD card marker not found error.
And, as the OP experiences, no problem when manually backing up from the recovery menu. I am running a Sammy G-Nexus, so I have no external SD.
I think it is a problem with CWM app itself as within the error text it states........
Verifying SD card marker.....
SD card marker not found........
Error processing ROM manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v.4.0.0 or higher
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sd card/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I have tried uninstalling ROM Manager, and re-installing.
Reflashing v.5.8.0.2 recovery
Clearing Dalvik then booting back in, and reflashing recovery.
Tried clearing all ROM Manager data and cache, uninstalling, re-installing then reflashing.
It keeps insisting I am not running a current enough version of recovery, but I am running what appears to be the lastest ROM Manager version and CWM recovery version.
Not a huge deal as manual backup and restore are working fine but I thought I might post and see if anyone else is seeing this. Next, I am off to try to get thru to the CWM support via email.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions ahead of time.
EDIT: I am wondering if maybe my ROM / kernel combination is the cause of all this. CWM backup and restore are working fine from within the ROM Manager app on my Acer Iconia a500 tablet running FlexReaper Extreem
I might flash back to my Apex Nandroid, and see if ROM Manager is OK running on it. Will update if I see something worth noting.

[Q] TWRP , can't find SD in install

I had issues with the last CWM release so I decided to try TWRP. I use Rom toolbox Pro to get into recovery and wiped all to flash a new rom. Problem arose when I went into" Install" program of TWRP, I could not find my SD files. I change from root to SD card and only saw twrp, cwm and upper level. I tried many ways , but could not get to the files in my SD card. Any help would be appreciated...
Check in /data/media
If your stuff isn't there its gone. If you don't have any ROM zips and you have already wiped system you will need to setup and use ADB to push one.

Have you tried formatting your SD Card with an external card reader, then loading the files?

I tried an earlier version of TWRP and my SD card popped up fine in the Install section. Maybe it's me.... but I dunno the latest versions of recoveries CWM and Twrp have had bad sections....

[Q] Not sure where im @?

Hi I'm a little bit confused and lost between stock recovery, cwm, rom manager and my new SD card.
I browsed 100s of threads and watch alot of good and some not so good videos but 'im still not sure what my best next moves are and why some things dont work.
I have a

I wanted to use apps like Titanium BackUpPro and Avast so I rooted my phone flashing CWM v3.55 via Odin and have been using it with out any problems for a while.
Then I decided that I would like to flash a custom rom like cm and I downloaded Rom Manager thinking it to be the right tool... ?
I let Rom Manager flash the latest version of CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 ...
but when I look on the apps on my phone I find CWM v3.55-Chainfire ? and
if I try to update I get directed to:

When booting in rcovery mode my phone enters the android system recovery e3 and I get an Error message:
E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument)
What exactly does this mean ???
Should I try flashing CWM 6 non toutch via Odin or flash back stock ROM?
I thought I would try backing up to an ext SD card so I orderd a SanDisc mircosd 64GB card but the problem still remains.
I still cant back up my ROM using ROM Manager or CWM
Why ? What happend?
I tried formating the SD card with ROM Magager but SD card fails to load. I tried formating with gparted fat32. Still wont load...
The ext SD card shows up in the file exlporer on my phone just fine but
I can't seem to be able to get Rom Manager to recognize it and CWM recovery isn't working.
So instead of backin up my exsiting ROM to the SD card maybe it would be a better idea to install CWM and CM to the SD card
and keep my ROM on the internal SD as it is???
I tried creating a bootable ext sd card with CWM and CM like here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim
but when it comes to booting the phone in recovery mode I still get the E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument) message....?
How do I boot from ext sd card?
Whats my next best move?
I have a working rooted ROM on my local SD card with all my apps backed up in clowd. But my recovery mode issue remains to be resolved.
and I have a 64GB ext SD card with CWM and CM on it but I can't install with Rom Manager? because SD card fails to load.
Thanks for trying to follow so far!!!!

First option:
1- Download Philz recovery from: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5
and flash it with odin 3.07or newer
2- Downlad SuperSu root from: http://vk.com/doc167892454_171297436?hash=877f29ccdb4e944a70&dl=28aabb49a7217e1962, copy to your device, go to recovery mode and do 'install zip from...'
Second option:
1- Download CF-Auto Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip, extract and flash it with odin (that should enable root permissions in your device).
2- Download CWM Manager from PlayStore and do a flash, or better- flash the Philz recovery as above (you don't neet the root file)
Follow the Odin packages instructions...?

Yep, follow it,
And yes- both backup and exSD use (called sdCard0 in the recovery), here's the developer's thread & guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
Easy way to flash CWM or Touch wiz is to download EZ-Recovery from the play store, open the app scroll to recovery, click recovery and choose which one you want and click flash. Done. I personally like TW.
