I have twrp on my sdcard and sdcard ext_sd where is it supposed to be?
If you boot into twrp without an ext sd installed it will automatically make a twrp folder on your internal storage therefore giving you an int sd & ext sd twrp folder.
Since my downloads go into my ext sd,I would probably use twrp with that partition also because it may take away mounting complications

I have searched and can't seem to find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
I am running cm7 nightly #116 and siyah Kernel (latest version)
I booted into clockwork recovery to do a nandroid backup, and when I performed a reboot afterward my internal SD was no longer visible from within the OS. My external SD card is mounted as /sdcard and there is nothing in /emmc. I tried removing my microsd and when the phone boots it does not see itself as having any SD storage. (neither internal nor external)
When a run a df -k from the terminal I do not see my sd cards partition.
However if I boot into clockworkmod recovery I can still browse the contents of my internal sd partition with no issues. (via flash zip from internal sd card) Does anyone know what could cause this or what method I should use to try and fix it? I believe my backup should be ok.... but I have no method of getting the files out of my internal sd because when I "mount usb storage" it only mounts the external sd.
Fixed. Formatted system and did an advanced restore from an old nandroid backup. Reboot and voila.

I am trying to create an sd-ext partiton so I can move applications and backup to that partition on my 4GB external SD card.
I've got ROM Manager 4.8.0.8 but when I select Partiton SD card it reboots and tries to reformat but I don't see anything on the Card just a LOST.DIR folder. I can't read the system messages when in Recovery mode cos it all happens so fast.
I tried via ADB and booted into recovery and selected the option to partition manually but still nothing. I reformatted the card with FAT32. Nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Just throwing something out there. Try rebooting into Clockwork Recovery. In CWR, go to Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Select the size. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't reboot your device (If I remember correctly). Take a look at the log (Advanced -> Show log).
Hopefully this helps a bit.
Hmmm he's right,you have to flash cwm first.
If your device is not listed in rom manager,find cwm for your device on xda and connect your device to the pc in fastboot mode,extract the zip and copy recovery.zip to the folder where fastboot on your pc is and give the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after flashing cwm,do as suggested
Also,you can partition it by downloading Easeus partition manager on your pc and choose the ext2 partition as the second one and a size of 512 mb is enough in most cases
go into CWM and select advanced thn move onto partition SD card
it would ask u how much space to partition after that select swap size as 642 or above and wait for few minutes.... remember tot ake a backup of ur SD card as all the data would be cleared while partitioning
Thanks. The first problem was that the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery 4.2 doesn't see my external SD card. No idea why. I used the 3.2 version which does see the external card and formatted the card first (after backing up!!). Then Advanced Partition SD card but I get a message saying : "Too many people have bricked their devices by doing this. Therefore this feature has been disabled."
I tried another Recovery Manager - Rogue Recovery and that showed messages saying it was formatting. I rebooted but when I looked at the SD card - nothing. However, I downloaded Easeus partition manager (looks good) and it showed that there is an sd-ext with a lost+found folder in it.
Is that normal? If yes then why didn't someone say that it would be invisible?!! If not, what happened?
Seems there are problems with the SD card. When I try to point TitaniumBackup to my SD card it sees the folders as Read Only. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18559 and http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18501. It was obviously a bit silly to call internal storage the same name as an external SD card. HD as in hard drive (I know its not) would be better. Or just Storage or whatever. NO doubt people have been accidentally formatting their internal memory instead of the card and that's why it was disabled in Clockwork Recovery. And by the way I'm using the hacked Android 4 - so the problem is still there even in 4 (Ice Cream)
The easiest way to get sd card partitioned is using Mini Partition Tool on PC.

Now does cwm also do the ext partition? and if not what program would work well I have a 2gb sd card for my samsung admire and I want to make a ext partition so i can move some more files to it.And later get larger card up to 16gb and do the same.
Thanks,

I'm selling my Amaze, keeping external memory.
Where is the location for custom recovery - is it on internal or external card, or somewhere else - in the phone?
I want to wipe the internal memory, keeping temp external card, reboot into recover and install custom rom from external memory, then reboot and remove internal memory.
Will the above procedure work ?
your internal memory is basically an internal sd card, so formatting that will not affect your recovery or system etc. there's a partition set for system files. Your procedure will work, just flash a rom and format the internal sd before or after, it won't matter.

Thanks, wasn't entirely sure, as I'm about to do all of this in front of the buyer. I guess formatting internal SD card from recovery is the safest way, as I read doing it via PC renders the card useless.
Thanks mate!

I was trying to do a factory reset and accidentally wiped eveerything from my internal sd card. Now I cant get into my phone. I have TWRP installed with Jewel PVT Ship S-on RL
I have some ROMs on my external SD card but everytime I try to install the ROM through TWRP form the external sdcard it fails because it says that the internal sdcard failed to mount. Is there anyway to get the ROM from my external SD card to my internal SD card since it is now wiped and can not mount. How can I get a ROM installed if it is currently on my external SD card. Thanks!

First thing is format the SD card. Then from with in twrp switch from Internal to External SD card, and then browse for your rom there

Can I format the card in twrp? What is the filesystem? EXT? After formatting it be able to mount? I was trying to install from the other sd card but it was failing due to not being able to mount sdcard. Hopefully a format will fix that.
You may have to go back to TWRP 2.2. That was the only way I got mine back to a functioning phone. Oh and copy your ROMs to the internal SD after you format it. It can be done through TWRP. Hope this helps cause I know the pain your going through without your phone.

Had this problem
Ended up having to USB mount the phone, then format using mac's disk utility. Certainly would have been easier if I had been able to successfully format it from within recovery!

At least you're back up and running. Hopefully you had a backup of your setup on your computer before you had to format.

Hi, I have formatted my SD card as internal storage using viperOs 3.1 but now I can't access it through TWRP recovery 3.2.1. Only some folders appear, but the downloads folder for example won't. What can be the cause of this?
Use the mount option in TWRP
