I'm having trouble adjusting to TWRP's
naming convention and mapping.
Its internal file manager has refernces
to sdcard, internal_sdcard, external_sdcard
and USB storage. sdcard is where it ended
up putting its output which seems to be
/data/media/0/. How do I tell it to use
the external microsd card as its data
target?
I have a brand new VZW HTC ONE MAX.
I so far have run Firewater s-off
successfully, (rumrunner didn't work),
reset my tampered and locked flags,
flashed via fastboot TWRP recovery
and let TWRP install SuperSU for root.
To remove the red warnings on the
splash page do I have to use a
custom hboot?
After that I rebooted to recovery
TWRP and went to run a backup.
TWRP wasn't able to locate the
external microsd card, I'm guessing
since it decided to breakup the
backup files, it was expecting
FAT32 not NTFS. I'll reformat it
and see if it can find it then.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't use micro sd in recovery.

micro sd card works just fine in TWRP for me.
I have the same problem with TWRP, it won't recognize my sdcard. I've tried 2 different ones,I even did a reformat and it still didn't work

Depends on the time you downloaded TWRP. It's been re-uploaded with working sdcard support for a while now.
Ok, so with a FAT32 formatted microsd card and
a current TWRP I should be to write the
files on the external sdcard, not just the
fake one?
Thanks
If you have a 64G card itbshiuld be formatted exFat. Its going to be a pain getting it back to that properly if you formatted to anything else. ExFat has a specific tiny block of memory kept at the beginning of the card. Just formatting back to exfat doesnt work properly without that block.
Will exFAT work correctly, except for hboot?
I know NTFS doesn't, TWRP couldn't see it.
I could buy another and clone the whole thing including the
unallocated space. Hmms Is there a something special
in written in that space, or just a partition boundary issue?
I did wonder why the partition started where it did?
It is fixable using a partition tool. It *may* havr been the official sdcard format tool (google it). I just remember it was a pain for me. Ymmv

I'm running TWRP 2.6.3.0, on a Sprint One Max, using a Sandisk Extreme 64GB external microsd formatted as FAT32. I've never had an issue with TWRP not recognizing my ext sd.

So basically my 16GB SD card was working fine but I was missing a few gig due to an old apps2sd partition I had for an older phone s I copied everything off deleted the ext partitions and reformatted to fat32 but now settings force close if I go to storage and recovery restarts if I try to format it? Any ideas?

Download the sd formatting tool, format it with that in your pc. If it still won't work then bin the card.

the card is fine i flashed a stock EMB5 rom and it works
So I recently rooted my Verizon Note II, rooted with casual and twrp. I flashed the milestone version of aokp and for some reason cannot mount my external sd card. I get an error message that says "sd card is blank or has an unsupported filesystem". The sd card was working fine on my rooted phone before flashing aokp. Any ideas?

Its my understanding some Roms dont support exFat, a file system format used by SD Cards. you should try backing up the data and then formatting it to fat32.

thanks for the advice. It seems like aokp can reformat the card itself, but I'm a little afraid to let it try. I was also just reading about using siyah kernal and another thing called vold-exfat that lets you use an exfat formatted card. I think I'm gonna do one of these two things but it seems easiest to let aokp reformat my card if it will actually reformat my 64gb sd to fat32. I haven't been able to find out what it will reformat to though... very confusing

It won't reformat a 64GB card right. Download something likr EaseUS or another formatting tool. There is one that is posted on XDA quite a bit but for the life of me I can't remember its name.

I am having some very weird issues with my SD card. I had a Samsung 64GB SD card that was behaving normally. I was actually able to see items in the SD card while in recovery. However, it was not allowing me to install any ROMs from it (they would just immediately fail). After that, it would not longer mount in Recovery. It would still show up on the computer when using MTP, but something happened and it got corrupted. I tried everything to bring it back to life, but nothing I found worked.
I then bought another 64GB SD card, this time a SanDisk. It too can be seen through MTP, but the SD card won't allow me to mount it in Recovery at all.
The only way I can flash ROMs is by using the internal SD card. That doesn't bother me, but I wonder if why this is happening. I suspect it has something to do with being a 64GB card...
Any help would be much appreciated!
If you have the SD card formatted exfat and you are using clockworkmod for recovery that would be the reason.
CWM recovery won't read exfat.

Had a feeling it might be that. I'll switch to another and give it a shot.
Any reason why it wouldn't mount while in a custom ROM? I'm using LiquidSmooth right now and it won't allow the SD card to mount. Just doesn't see it for whatever reason...

That would be kernel dependent.

There are a lot of kernels out there, find one that is compatible with exfat and you will solve that problem.
I have had good luck with faux kernel myself.

Solved use 64gb sd in recovery!

Your problem is not kernel or ROM based, but as noted, it is Custom Recovery Based. Due to legal resons, they cannot support ExFAT and I have tried NTFS. Use EASEUS PARTITION MANAGER TO FORMAT INTO FAT32 THEN RECOVERY WILL RECOGNIZE 64GB SANDISK SD CARD!!!! PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM

ChronicKernel --- THANKS CK for the only AOSP kernel i could find that worked with CM!(Everything else was TW) Fast charge should be standerd in custom rom kernels......
I picked up a new 64gb SD card and tried to use TWRP to backup a ROM and no luck trying to backup to the card, can do internal memory no problem.
Anyone think of a reason for this? I can move files to the card via USB and ES Explorer so it isn't a writable problem.
Maybe it needs formatting to the correct form?
I had to do that to my trusty 8gb sd card I've had for years to get it to work.

But how do you explain being able to transfer files to it while in the phone, and also download directly to it?
Are you able to choose the external card from within TWRP for backups or is it not even an option there. It should be there if you touch the bar that says internal.. Sorry not rooted ATM so I can't see exactly what it says.
Ok so I just got this phone today and I was fortunately on 10b right out of the box. I immediately rooted and bumped and now I want to install some roms. But it seems that every time I try to access my SD card (64gb) from twrp It just sits there and doesn't mount it. I need to flash roms! Lol
Let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Figured out that this version of twrp isn't liking exfat SD cards.... Is it possible to flash another recovery?

No.
Just get another card or USB OTG adapter with a USB drive.
I use a second card when I want to use TWRP.
Bummer. I was hoping someone would get us a note recent version of TWRP going with a fix for the SD card issue.

On my 64gb card, I backed it up then used twrp's built-in function to change to fat. Others have used an external pc-based program to change to fat, http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

You can format the SD card in twrp? Or just change what twrp recognizes?
Change the format. Go into Wipe-Advanced, there is an option to change the format of external sd.
Make sure to back anything on it up first, and that you select the external sd.
