External Sd not Mounting (CWM) - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

For some strange reason My external Sd card does not show up in the cwm Recovery. The Sd card is fine, it worked on my S2 Fine but for some reason its not working on the cwm Recovery. Currently running Stock Tmobile 4.0.4. Cwm 5.8.4.7. I am able to see my phones internal sd files, just the external sd appears to be missing. i have also tried mounting the external sd but have been unsuccessful. any help?

Anything newer than 5.8.4.5 isn't seeing the sd card on the AT&T version. I doubt yours is any different. You can download what you need here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

[Q] CWM does not see SD card

Help guys, i just go the tab and i tried to flash overcome1.4
In CWM my SD card seems to be the onboard memory so I can't find the Rom zip
This is what I did so far:
I managed to get CWM recover v3.0.1.9 installed.
go to install zip from SD card
go to choose Zip from SD card
**here it appears i'm in the onboard memory..not the 4gb SD card i put in**
Help im stuck here.
This is a "Known Issue" with the new kernel. See first post:

Try to connect the Tab to PC in whatever mode that's working. Maybe internal SD will show up and you can copy.
Otherwise, research "ADB" in recovery.

Mounting Issue in CWM

I can't get my SD Card mounted in CWM. When the phone is on it is fine but when I try to flash from CWM is says the SD Card is not mounted. Any one have any suggestions?
What ROM are you on?
I tried for the longest time to use CM7 and CWM refused to mount my SD card. I asked about it on here and have seen several other threads but with no resolution or fix.

[Q] Access SD card from recovery

I just bought a T959 off of ebay. It came with Bionix-v 1.2 and I was trying to upgrade it to Bionix-NextGen-V2 using CWM.
I have the Bionix-NextGen-V2.zip on my external microSD. I can't seem to access the external microSD to select it via CWM.
Am I supposed to flash it from the internal flash memory? I don't think I have done that with my other Android phones... If so, will that cause any problems with wiping data off the phone?
Thanks for any help!
Yes with regular CWM it needs to be on the internal sd. Eugene has a kernel that can access the external sd but installing that kernel then flashing from your exteral sd would be much more cumbersome than just moving the rom to the internal sd to flash.
Cool... thanks.
Flashing now...

Have you mount it in TWRP?
I tried to mount SD card but the X does not stay on when I try to pick it. When I click on external SD , it only shows " up a level"
The card works fine when using any of the ROMs and can be seen no problem, it just doesn't show in recovery.
I USD the same card on my note 3 and did not have a problem.

Recovery can't mount SD after marshmallow adoption

Guys please I need help. I am with an unofficial CM13 rom. Everything was fine until trying to flash Xposed I realized that my recovery can't mount the SD I have earlier formatted as internal. Wanted marshmallow so much especially because of that SD adoption. But didn't know that will make unable to use my custom recovery after that. Any suggestions?

You can always reformat your SD...
Formatting SD as internal in MM will cause that you can just use the SD Card on Android 6 as Internal. Recovery wont recognize, that its an SD Card. You could reformat SD as external again and than you should be able to use SD Card in recovery again. But I guess that shouldnt be a problem bec you can flash files from internal (which is also ur SD Card) too.
