What version are you running? I did the - x.x.x.3 and was able to backup to SD Card just fine yesterday. Although I used a temporary boot to preserve stock recovery to perform it although that shouldn't make a difference. I know some people have been talking about the format of the SD Card, apparently exFAT is no good but please look into that more before taking my word for it.

If your ext sd card is 64+ gig, it is likely formatted exfat which does not work with TWRP 2.7.x.x
In this case you'll need to remove the card and format in a PC with a third party utility that forces a fat32 format.

I have rooted my phone. Installed a custom ROM. Now my sd card is loaded with unwanted things. Wat shoud I do? Copy/paste the openrecovery folder to a comp. Format SD card and then copy that folder back to sd? Or update.zip again?
Anybody?

Thanks, had a similar problem and wanted to know this as well.
Remember to move all apps to phone memory before format.

What about update.zip? It is needed anymore on root of the sd card?

You can simply delete the update.zip file without any problems.

You need to keep update.zip on root of sdcard. It doesnt enter recovery mode if you not copy it back.

For such stuff, using the Droid Tool is the best way:

Format it with your android phone, or in recovery, not with your PC.

yea, niether is mine, I was wondering if it had anything to do with the size, its a 32g? I had been planing on posting a question here soon to ask about it? I always have to use my phone as the only choice when looking in CWM?
I am having the same problem. My ext sd is not showing in cwm. My version is 5.5.0.4. The same thing when doing backups. Only internal.

I saw this too. I had an external in and had to place it in both DCIM folders and it appeared in one or the other

I flashed 5.8.4.5 via ROM manager and everything is right as rain. Both internal and external show up now.
I'm running the latest MROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674 and everything is fine.
Though, every reboot, i get the message "Safe to remove sd card" right after "Preparing SD card"
I cannot backup rom onto SD card because of this.
How do I fix this?

If you are going to backup the ROM through recovery. You will just have to mount the SD card through recovery. BTW, is it the internal (if you have one) or external SD?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
External SD card, internal is working fine.

Did you have this problem on a stock ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Nope, even after I got MROM which was a week or so ago, it was all fine.
Ever since yesterday, i've been getting this error.

I would try re-flashing your ROM. and if the issue is still persistent, try fixing permissions through recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Problem solved!
All I had to do was Settings>Storage>Erase SD card (THE EXTERNAL ONE) and everything is back up working.
All I had was an old clockwork backup file and some music on it, therefore noting valuable is lost.
Thanks for everything !

What format did you use? Dont use NFTS, but use FAT32. That one worked for me. Try a quick format (use a adapter or something else) and try again.
I used fat32 formatted it and still says blank sdcard or unsupported file

hi i've got same problem too with 16 GB and 64 GB
it's suck ...
Did you format in the phone???? Sometimes this makes a difference. Just back up your card to computer before reformatting in the phone.

Your card needs to be formatted as FAT32. THis limits you to 4GB per file.
There is already a thread about this.
Your card is probably formatted as exFAT and the recovery doesn't support that format.

In clockwork mod select backup and in the middle there is a storage selection tab. This will also change the default drive for restore.
