A quick question, looked around a bit, couldn't find a similar one.
When I had my Samsung EPIC 4g, the version of CWM I was using allowed me to access my SD card by selecting "Mount USB Storage". However, I dont find this option in the current version of CWM I am using for my galaxy s3. Is this feature not available yet, or is it listed under a different section/name?
Also, whenever I have my phone plugged into my PC while I am in clockwork mod, my PC always alerts me that the proper drivers arent installed. However, I know this isn't true because when my phone is on I can use odin and my PC recognizes the device. Anyone have any idea whats causing this?
Thanks
We don't have the option to mount in recovery yet. Don't believe any version of cwm supports it. And for the drivers find ur phone in the device manager while ur in recovery and hit update driver. Manually install an adb driver for it. As far as the PC goes ur device in recovery and download mode are 2 different devices. It just doesn't know how to identify it when its in recovery. If you install it as an adb interface you can push/pull stuff to it if u need to
if you use an older version of CWM, like 5847...you can, but for some reason in 5849 it stopped....

Didn't know that.thought I'd tried them all. Guess I missed one. I'll have to revert later n try the older one.

I tried putting cockworkmod 3.0.0.4 onto my epic but nothing happened the first time I tried it. I had usb debugging on before so I know its not that.... but now it won't even recognize my phone when I click run in the oneclick root fle.
Should I reset my phone and try it again? If so how do I do that...
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? If no then download and install them, if yes then redownload and reinstall them.
Is your data cable good? Can you get into mass storage? Why Clockwork 3.0.0.4? Go with 3.0.0.6, it is much more compatible with most ROMs. And make sure you have an EXt4 compatible ROM ready to flash after the file system conversion.
I had a similar issue with mine. If you have the current drivers installed, and a better USB cable, it seems there's not a whole lot else you can do besides cross your fingers. I tried mine on 2 different computers (work and home). My home computer, which CWM has never liked in the past, was the one that did the trick. Had to experiment with different USB slots, and restarting the computer every time it didn't work. Also don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the CWM version I finally got to work was from the links in the youtube how to video for SyndicateROM - Frozen (not the links the syndicate guys provided) . Good luck!
I had to use an old XP machine for my first one-clock root/CWM install. None of my win7 machines would work.
Not sure why, but now the win7 machines work fine. Using the same drivers on all of them.
Again, it's a shot in the dark, but have you tried an XP computer?
Here are a few things you could try:
1) First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. This will allow you to access your phone through adb which is required in order to install any version of CWM. You can download the SDK from here, developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Next you have to set up the environment variables which will allow you to use adb to connect to your phone. This is a very important step and it must be done correctly. Here is a You Tube video which walks you through the process, youtu.be/b1qgKA_eT2g
3) Once you have those two steps completed you can begin to install CWM. Here is another You Tube video for that portion, youtu.be/cFrA__9bURo
Troubleshooting tips:
1) Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed on your machine. If you can connect you phone and access the SD card then you have the proper drivers already installed. If your unable to access the SD card then you may have a problem with the drivers.
2) Make sure that your plugging in the USB cable directly into the back of your computer. DO NOT plug it into any type of USB hub or the front of your machine.
3) If it is not being detected in one of the USB ports, unplug and try another.
**Im unable to post links at the moment so you will have to copy and past the youtube and other links into another browser window to access the web pages**
Good Luck
1. You don't need the SDK to install CWM.
Tips: start here first and these should fix your problem.

Taking a look in the CWM3.zip folder it looks like the program bundles adb within the program. I may have been incorrect in stating that you need to install the SDK onto your machine.
I have been rooting different Android phones for over a year now (I still dont claim to know everything) and the SDK has been installed on my machine ever since then. My previous phone required the SDK in order to root and I just assumed that was still needed for CWM3.
Thanks for the correction Top Nurse.
Any luck getting CWM onto your phone jsoileau2?
Why CWM 3.0.0.4 and not CWM 3.0.0.6?

It was not too clear if you had root already or you was trying to run one click a second time. If you do have root, try dl rom manager from market then let it install cwm for you. Win7 people try using the 32bit drivers.
If you downloaded one click 2.5.5, it has all the files you need to root and install cwm 2.5.1.0. No need to set up sdk stuff, it's all in the zip of one click. Also try reboot computer and phone if adb isn't seeing the phone. Try different usb port on computer if rebooting doesn't help.
Try turning off any antivirus program you might be using.
Don't use Rom Manager, there are many problems with it on the Epic.
I don't know if it makes any difference but I've always went to start, run, cmd, cd to directory where one click is, then run.bat
Sometimes it is necessary to be at a command prompt instead of just clicking on the file. I don't know if this is one of those instances or not.
Rom manger doesn't install the cwm (well on epic it tries to.) But it does download it. Try it.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirrorbrain.cynogenmod.com/ and the cwm zip will be there.
Install it.
It worked for me.

Hey guys,
I'm having some issues with mounting while I'm in the recovery. In fact, the computer (win7) won't even recognize that the phone is connected via USB. The device manager just shows "SAMSUNG_Android_SPH-L710" with a yellow exclamation mark. Whenever I connect the phone in recovery to the computer, it tells me driver installation was unsuccessful. I searched around before posting and made sure of few things.
1. Using the Samsung USB Cable.
2. Installing the Sprint_L710_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe found on Samsung's website.
3. I reinstalled the driver after it didn't work the first time.
I did read that I need adb drivers to get my computer to recognize my phone while in recovery mode. Is that true? If so, can someone please provide me the link to those drivers. I googled it but want to make sure I install the right version and don't end up bricking it.
Is anything else can be the issue here? Also, is mounting in recovery supported in latest CWM/TWRP?
I'm stock rooted with the LI3 update and trying to wipe everything clean before trying out Paranoid Android ROM. I haven't wiped anything yet since I want to make sure after I wipe my external/internal SD Card, I can place ROM files in the storage. Please let me know and any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Not sure why you are trying to access your computer from recovery mode.

1) Because a lot of root instructions tell you to
2) Because it's really annoying to reboot the phone, load a file, reboot to recovery and flash
I root devices part time and use that feature pretty often

It is hit or miss and I don't know why. Sometimes it mounts for me, sometimes it doesn't.
Save yourself a ton of time and heart ache. You shouldn't lose and internal or external memory when you flash a rom on the SGS3. When you wipe, it only wipes your system and data which is on a separate system storage. I have read some people report a flash wiped their internal storage, but certainly not the external.
Btw.. Are you selecting "mount usb storage"?
Sent from my Jelly Bombed SGS3
Thanks guys for replying. So I finally got it working. After the first reinstall of the drivers, it still wasn't working. I was getting frustrated so I was like let me reinstall one more time. Give it a one more try. This time, I have no idea what changed but it started mounting. It still shows up in device manager with yellow exclamation mark. However, when I click Mount USB Storage in TWRP, it mounts. It does seem random in a sense that it works sometimes and doesn't other times.

I have the same problem. I need a driver for device manager while in twrrp.
For this particular phone. Using clowork atm, but want twrp but hesitant unless the backup files are compatible.so are they?

use philz recovery. it is compatible with both cwm and twrp backups.
Yeah I did that but it doesnt allow mount usb. it Says "sdcard0: shared-unmounted"
to sum:
philz recovery 5.15 and 6.01 doesnt allow usb mounting (which i need cause i can't boot into android)
twrp 2.6.30: no touch, can't even unlock the screen
is there a working recovery with usb mounting for one x? preferably touch but no-touch is fine as well
5.15 definitely works. Enter the recovery, hook on the usb cable, tap the last option in the mounts and storage list. Then wait......may take a few minutes so give it time.
hmm, nothing is showing on 5.15, i clicked "mount storage", another window opened but no response until screen turns off due to timeout (im guessing it shouldnt take this long!?)
I'm using Android universal naked driver instead of having one for every device, could that be the problem? The phone is recognized as an "android device" on my computer though, and can fastboot commands OK.
I don't have the HTC one x fastboot/normal drivers, is there one handy around?
uninstall unofficial drivers and re install HTC syncmanager with it's drivers.
The recovery works just fine, trust me
do i need the sync manager or can i get away with just the htc driver? space is kind of a premium (old laptop), never had to use the manager in nexus one and sensation before...since i only need to use the mount usb from recovery (boot loop)
Just try
Uninstalling universal, installed just the driver. Exe took like30 minutes to install the drivers(mtp one took forever) but finally able to recognise 1x on laptop. But then bsod before I can move anything
Thanks anyway Mr!
What's the problem, and be specific !
bsod=blue screen of death, don't remember what the error was, but it's definitely caused by the new driver
Weird, can you try the same on a different pc ?
I'm trying to install driver for my X9006
But my PC recognizes a drive which is "corrupted", Windows can't open the drive, so I can't install driver.
Instead my phone is recognized as a "portable media player". There's no green Oppo logo on the DVD drive which is supposed to appear.
I cannot flash anything because I'm stuck on stock recovery. I tried to flash stock ColorOS 1.2.0i but installation failed halfway. Same goes for ColorOS 2.0.0i beta. All failed. I want to wipe the whole thing clean.
So I'm thinking it might be infected perhaps? The only thing I could think of was, I rooted it using Root Genius. It installed Kinguser, which is a fishy app. Granted me root access but God knows what it did to my phone (you know... Chinese and their hackers and malwares..)
Help! I run windows 7 64-bit btw.

Well your device is a portable media player in its own way....is it not? Mine is also recognized by my computer that way.
The driver should appear where your dvd drive is. It'll have the green oppo logo.
Can you access you phone when you plug it in? When you click on the phone can you see your internal storage/sd card...if so it is being recognized.
Have you installed any third party roms or recoveries? I'm assuming not since you say you are stuck on stock recovery.
Try googling the stock firmware...or go to oppoforums website and go down to colorOS and you can find downloads there...I know versions 1.2.3 and above failed halfway through for me too...but wiping and using the original stock firmware and then upgrading via OTA worked fine...If that fails as well...you could try reinstalling the recovery as well..

I can access my phone alright. Everything is there, in the internal storage.
It's just that the driver doesn't appear where my dvd drive is. It's driving me nuts. No green oppo logo, nada.. and clicking on the dvd drive that appears when I plug in the phone makes windows come up with an error message that says something like "windows cannot access this drive"

Are you sure the drivers weren't already installed?
You could also try manually installing the drivers. I'd post some links...but I'm still new so it won't let me.
Do a quick "oppo find 7a drivers" google search, first or second link should do the trick, just make sure you read to make sure its the correct driver for your phone and computer's OS.
Is there a specific problem you are having with the phone? Or are you just trying to start fresh? You can still wipe data/cache in stock recovery, as well as flash stock roms, but like i said, they are finicky for whatever reason.

Okay you might be right. So I suspect the driver has already been installed when I used Root Genius to root the phone, that's why I didn't see any Oppo green logo on the dvd drive.
No specific problem with my phone.. Just that I wanted to try flash other ROMs and was following instructions when I got confused as to whether my PC has the driver already..
The other day I was trying fastboot and apparently the PC didn't detect anything. I tried many things, forgot what did I do to finally manage to make it able to detect my phone (via command <fastboot devices>)
Thanks.

Well you have the drivers for the phone installed most likely.
As for fastboot, did you install the androidsdk?? You'll need that in order to flash a custom recovery.
Do another quick google search: "how to use fastboot with oppo find 7a" the second entry from oppoforums has a guide to root the phone...I know you used "rootgenius" which i have no idea what that is I've always rooted android myself through custom recoveries (although it may be a similar process, just automated). That guide will at least show you how to install the tools you need to use fastboot correctly. If you have any troubles, let me know, ill do my best to help
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------
I forgot to mention, if you do use that guide...make sure you don't flash the x9077 TWRP version that the guide uses as an example. Just go to TWRP's site and find the version for your phone.... x9006. Then follow them as normal.
Can anyone please assist to get data off an S3 which sticks at the blue-backed throbbing SAMSUNG splash screen just after the android rocket take-off.
The history is that the phone started constant-rebooting and I left it off for a few weeks. Then I took it into a shop to get the power switch replaced and the repairer noticed that it no longer reboots, it just sticks at that SAMSUNG screen. When neither of us could get it into safe mode, he diagnosed that it was "definitely" a software problem. Resetting caches from recovery mode doesn't do anything and as I am trying to get data off it, I am a bit reluctant to follow other solutions I have found here and do a master reset!
I THINK this device is rooted (with towelroot)? See below
I can get to an Odin screen and can get the device recognised on the computer and wondered if I could do resets from there with one of the 4 files included with 3.07. Curiously enough one of them did succeed (though the success was too quick to convince me it had actually flashed very much) and the device did reboot but still got stuck at the same splash screen! Taking the battery out and restarting/cleaning caches again etc didn't help and now, none of the Odin files will 'flash' successfully, which is why I am not sure if I am still rooted or if something is returned to stock. I am just not sure which file or what exactly flashed successfully and what it did to the ROM, bootloader, CID, etc etc etc. SO I am assuming that if I can still load Odin and get the S3 recognised, it is still rooted.
Is there anything else I can try either through odin or independently to get me into the os please? I have loaded skipsoft and run it and it has connected to the S3 (and changed things) just by connecting to the computer in download mode: But I can't see where in skipsoft I can diagnose or correct whatever is wrong
Flash TWRP via Odin, boot into TWRP, mount data partition, connect the phone to a computer, and try to copy the phone's data to the computer.
What that guy said ^^^ Install a new OS for your system which should replace your old one. You don't need to boot TWRP if you are going to boot a new OS. My method involves you losing all your data so you have been warned. You can get the stable version for that here http://techbeasts.com/update-t-mobi...o-android-4-3-jelly-bean-t999uvuemjc-guide/2/. Good luck
Thanks for that guys but I have apparently already loaded Philz and it SAYS it has backed up the data and/or storage to sc card and I am wondering if Ican restore it to a new Galaxy J7. I especially need to figure out if I can restore telephone text messages from the S3 onto the J7 but i could make do for the moment with knowing whether such messages have made their way onto the SD card.
Yes, I am a bit reluctant to do a full wipe and restore until I can figure this out.
Or if I can access the files through my computer as you suggest, what file / format would they be in?
If you used Philz to create a backup, I don't think you'll be able to restore the data to the J7, but I could be wrong because Philz hasnt been updated for a long time which means there may be no Philz for the J7.
Philz can only be restored with Philz and possibly cwm.
I got Philz installed through Skipsoft but am wondering whether there is any newer utility I can install over whatever Skipsoft has put there? Or is that what TWRP is?
I am a bit reluctant to install anything through TWRP if it is going to not only overwrite the OS but also delete all the data I am trying to access! But is there any utility which might conceivably get my phone working again without deleting all my data please?
If I load T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB,md5 through Odin, will it delete all my data??
Flashing twrp should not over write the rom, only the recovery.
Was the phone recognized as a removable when it was booted into philz?

Why did you ask me that? 'cos I was pretty sure it was recognised but checked again and it isn't recognised by the computer at all when I plug it in (and obviously isn't recognised by Odin)
Philz shows as Touch 6.26.6 and ClockworkMod v 6.0.4.8
Why would I ask? Because twrp can mount the phone as a removable drive to copy off the data as you wanted to do in your original post.

Sorry to harp but are we agreed generally that there is no way of getting this phone working again, - whether with some utility or by re-flashing the stock or some new ROM?
Once the phone starts hanging at that third throbbing SAMSUNG screen, is it effectively dead save only for the purposes of getting data off it as a media device please? I really need to access my text messages and couldn't even identify them on a file directory and wouldn't know what format they were in if I could access the file browser. That was sorta a last resort but I am now downloading T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB for installation through Odin? Or for installation through Philz if I can get the file onto the SD card.
Did you try twrp and use a otg usb?

If the phone is not recognised by the computer, either the drivers are not working properly, the USB port is damaged, or the USB cable is not compatible with Odin.
Until the phone is recognised in Odin, you can't flash a stock rom from sammobile.com.

I am not exactly a newbie at this but I am beginning to wonder if I havent just got a developing massive hardware failure. I have tried a number of computers, including ones which formerly recognised the computer/cable/S3 setup and none can now recognise the phone, eg in Odin.
The phone is detected on plugin to Windows 10 (with the recognition beep) and is then not seen in windows explorer. Changing cables doesn't do anything. I am assuming it should automatically appear on the drop-down menu in TWRP's app in the playstore. That menu only shows a phone I plugged into the system about 6 months ago (without it being rooted) and asks for root permissions on this now-nonexistent phone.
The phone is not now recognised as it was up till only a few days ago in XP. Nothing is now recognised on a Mac, though on all three units the phone charges.
Restarting in download mode a few times changes nothing.

The only other thing I can think of is putting some TWRP file (?) on an SD card, booting into recover/Philz and can i not install TWRP or reflash some ROM from there?
I'm not sure if twrp can be flashed from Philz as I have always flashed TWRP via Odin.
You have done everything I would have done to get the phone recognized short of a installing a fresh installation of a Windows OS.
You could also try Heimdall (http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/).
