I had the same issue. I tried otg and that was recognized fine....Not sure why.
I am assuming that your sd card is exFat. It needs to be formatted to Fat32 for twrp to recognize it.

Right, Windows doesn't format to Fat32 natively. There's a free program you can download that will do it though but I don't remember the name of it atm.
I have a 64gb SD card. I used Aparted from the app store to format it to fat32. Rebooted into TWRP and it allowed me to backup to external SD. The app is free and was very quick on the format

Format with TWRP and to ext3 or 4. But only prob is windows doesn't read those formats. I use *nix so I am fine but Fat32 via another option works just as well. Only now you will have file size limits. Ext doesn't.

That's partition. Dont use that. Wipe the SD card and select ext3 or ext4. I use 4. Just know you will not be able to read that SD card on a windows box.

Can u backup to internal memory than manually transfer to sd with an explorer?
Quick Boot, from Sirius, on the Play Store is very handy. (A random mention, but I vastly prefer it to access TWRP compared to futzing with the power button)
You can use TWRP to reformat to fat, which is then usable by both TWRP and the system, though you will have a 4GB size limit on a single file.
Back up your external sd card.
Start TWRP
Wipe
Advanced wipe
Check the external_sd box
Repair or change file system
Change file system
Select fat
TWRP will reformat the external sd to fat. Reboot and restore whatever files you had copied off the external sd.
If you use FAT you will not be able to backup a stock image. There is a file size limit. Use Ext.

I was able to create a backup on my Fat32 formatted SD card. The file size limit is 4gb and the size of my backup was 3.8.

I will rephrase... Not all backups will be the same size. Case in point mine is 6g. So if the backups will be under 4... FAT is an option.
Have you confirmed that option works with both TWRP and when running the system (sd accessible for read/write)?

Which option are you talking about? I can create and restore tibu back ups from my SD card plus my music is stored on my external as well. Note that I have the KK SD card full access exposed module installed.
I'll try ext, too. In the original thread people had tried several options.
Ok I reformatted to fat 32 with a mac computer and now I can back up my stock rom to the external SD card..

The TWRP backup functionality chops things into chunks that do work with a fat format. It looks like it divides at about 1.5GB boundaries.
When I did a TWRP backup, onto my TWRP-fat-formatted SD, I see two different system files in the backup folder, system.ext4.win000 (1.49GB) and system.ext4.win001 (618 MB). Similarly I have several data.ext4 files, the largest showing 1.51 GB.
As long as a single file isn't over 4 GB size, TWRP appears to be entirely happy with a fat external SD.
For kicks I might try shoveling a single > 4 GB file into my internal storage, to see if TWRP chops that single file up, though in my own use case that isn`t an issue.
It`s all good, having TWRP is a big relief to me

Hey guys i have been unable to move/install apps to my sd card ever since changing to MIUI I'm not sure whether this is a problem with the ROM or not (i think i may have insalled applications to SD on a previous GB version of MIUI)
I am using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with the latest MIUI based on 4.0.4. before MIUI i was on CM7 stable and i remember messing around with some settings there to try and get my phone to read music off the sd card as well as internal memory-(where all my downloaded music was going). I also may have done a dodgy partition on my old 32gb micro sd or some how partitioned my internal storage of my phone...
I have recently successfully partitioned my Sandisk 64gb micro SDXC to this tutorial...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343187
when i go to move a 'moveable' app eg. Paypal through 'Link2Sd' it comes up with an error saying "pkg:/data/app/com.paypal.android.p2pmobile-1.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]
when i go to move a 'moveable' app through 'App 2 SD Pro' it says 'couldn't move app'

try to format ur sd and repartition ur sd ext. and flash ur script again.
u may try amarullz "ad2sdx" or dk_zerocool "mount2sd" script...
did you try Titanium Backup to move those apps?
also u can do in adb shell "pm setinstalllocation 2"
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
when you partition the sd card doesn't it format it then? I repartitioned my SD card still the same problem.
I also went to back up my current rom today through 'ROM manager' and it said something along the lines of...
SD card mounted...
SD card space free: 30437MB
............(can't remember)
...No SD_EXT found
something something...checking MD5 sums
It then waited a little bit and rebooted without creating a backup. I then booted into CWM and tried doing a back up again. It came up with the same relative message as above but it decided to make a back up. The back up folder had 7 files in it (this seems normal to me) and also backed up to my micro SD which is new
Today i also tried moving apps with titanium backup. It moved them effortlessly or so i thought and then later i checked the SD card on the computer the apps files were no where to be seen so i double checked through Apps 2 SD, Link2sd and the system app info on my phone and they all show that the apps have not been moved to my micro sd card.
i havent tried the adb shell or script methods you have sugested but i will soon and let you know how i go.
thanks heaps in advanced!
i hv seen many ppl complaining abt cwm creating bad partitions. so i would suggest it via pc.
for formatting use "sdformatter"
for partitioning use "minitool partition wizard".
ur issues seem to be wid bad partition.

Precisely...the pictures in my first post show that storage sections labled 'internal storage' and 'usb storage' are both on my phones memory. I am able to take the micro sd out of the phone and these storage locations are still mounted and installed apps still work. Also when i open my native file explorer to see where my apps are and select 'SD card' it goes to the directory of 'usb storage'. This problem occurs with apps such as Astro and other file managing apps.
sry, am totally lost. may be someone else will help you out. gud luck

i know this is an old topic, but i just want to share in case anyone stumbles upon this error again.
I had this problem, i fixed it by changing the default install location to auto in link2sd. or ifg you dont have link2sd in settings set it to let system decide. hope this helps someone out there
Hi!
I have a problem with my Legend's internal storage. I used Link2SD and moved all my apps to my SD-card. When I download something från Play Store, it says that the memory is full :S ... Even if I used Link2SD, it says that the memory is full. When I look at internal storage memory, it says that only 35 MB is available and that I used 150 MB .. Any help?

In the internal storage are not only the apps, there are also the cache, the Dalvik cache and the app-data. The Dalvik-cache and app-data you can't delete, but you can search in the google-market for an app like this to clear the cache.

Open Link2SD, Create Link all apps you can. Some app you can't Create Link, update these app and try to link again.

Clockwork mod recovery will create an ext3 partition as well as the standard fat32 when you use the format SD card feature. When the option for 'swap' comes up select or type 0 (you don't need swap partition I believe)...
As you should already be aware if you format your SD card you will lose everything so copy it all to a PC first then copy it back again.

When I started Link2SD it asked me something about mounting and there some options too, like ext2, ext3 and someting fat32 and I picked ext3. Did I do right ?
Look at this screenshot, did create an ext och did format SD-card, look at my internal memory I have no app installed except Link2SD and it says that i've used 130 MB :s

Woohoo well done you have success, you have your ext partition. Just make sure in link2sd to turn on auto link in the settings to "link" your apps and stuff to the ext.
Edit: oh just noticed it says ext2 on your screen shot gotta check mine now... mine says ext2 even though I know its ext3....

Advice: get rid of the ext partition (do that on your pc), format your card and start over againg with partitioning. Use CWM for that. Do NOT partition your card without deleting the existing ext partition. you will end up with two ext, your phone will not understand that.
500MB at least for ext space, gives you plenty of room for apps, cache etc.

Exactly this ^^
Internal /sdcard is 11.35 GB but it is shared with /data so both /data AND /sdcard use that 11.35 GB
All you have done is swap /sdcard with /extSdCard, but apps still go to /data so that 11.35 GB still gets used.

To break it down (simply), your internal memory consists of:
/system partition - Where the ROM goes
/data partition - Where your Apps and settings are stored
So all (user) apps install to /data/app and all the basic app data (settings) goes to /data/data (as do your rom settings such as Which ringtone, alarm times etc)
Usually /sdcard is an external Micro SD card. But here, Samsung have made the internal memory 16 GiB in size. So in the /data partition, they have put /data/media which is also your /sdcard.
Android looks for /sdcard and it is "redirected" to /data/media.
What you have done is swapped the mount point for /extSdCard (external sdcard) and /sdcard. So when android looks for /sdcard, it is "redirected" to you external sd card. When android looks for /extSdCard, it is "redirected" to /data/media
Hope this clarifies,

Hello
My Dad gave me his 32 GB SD Card, so I inserted it into my phone.
And there was some of his files, so I had to format it. I went onto the storage settings and scrolled down to find "Erase SD Card"
So I simply pressed it, and confirmed..
So much regrets. It erased my god damn USB Storage filled with 11GB of files, even important ones with all my music, rooting files such as ROMS, downloads, images etc.
Sorry, but I am so ****ing pissed.
The ****ing thing said "Erase SD Card". NOT "ERASE USB STORAGE OR INTERNAL STORAGE".
Here's some screenshots:
So there's my actual internal storage...

And my USB Storage that is listed as Internal Storage...
And the Erase SD Card option, above the SD CARD.
I don't understand why the option says "Erase SD Card", instead of either ERASE INTERNAL STORAGE, or ERASE USB STORAGE.
It doesn't make any sense.
Now that I'm left with basically a new phone with nothing of my personal files left.
And why the hell doesn't my SD CARD not have a Erase SD Card option?
I know I can't get my files back, but at least, how do I fix this god damn problem?
My phone is rooted with Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3-i9100
Kernel is 3.12.06-rc6-Dorimanx-V9.43-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE
And yes, I can go into clockwork recovery mode.

'SD card' has always meant the internal SD card (I.E internal storage), external SD has always been labelled as such.
You can mess around with mount points if you want, but I don't see why you'd do that ? You did something a lot of people have done on here over the past couple of yrs, you now know what 'erase SD card' means & does, you're unlikely to do it mistakenly again.
Edit - If you want to format an external SD card, do it from Windoze (phone connected to PC via USB) or from CWRecovery.

Okay thanks, yeah, I formatted the SD card using CWRecovery, but shouldn't there be an option to unmount my SD Card in Settings > Storage?
And on CWRecovery, there were many options to format my SD Card; format ext-sd, format sd-card0, format sd-card1, and I think format external sdcard. Which one is the correct one? I formatted all of them except for sd-card0.

So, Moto E has some 4 gig of internal memory and around 2 gigs is for user use, most of it gets consumed when you install everything you need as not all apps can be moved to SD card. This itself is not big problem to me but I've noticed that applications like ''Airdroid'' detect internal memory as SD card and do not detect external SD card at all when tried to change that from settings.
This phone does not come with USB data cable/connector so being able to transfer files on Wifi is important function and I rely on it quite often. Small files do ok, but whenever I try to transfer file exceeding the free internal space it gives me error ''not enough space''. I've 16 gigs SD card so I would like it to be used by Airdroid directly, if that is possible.
Anyone?

Not without rooting. If you root, you can mount the folder where airdroid stores its data to external sd using foldermount or other similar app

I've very little to no knowledge about that, so is there anything like ''guide/how to'' lying around simple enough for newbie to understand?
Also, by rooting, you mean formatting the whole thing or something? And will it void the warranty?

My my, looks like this is not quite my cup of tea, I may try it in 6-7 months down the line though.
Thank you very much for clearing that up ^^

So, Moto E has some 4 gig of internal memory and around 2 gigs is for user use, most of it gets consumed when you install everything you need as not all apps can be moved to SD card. This itself is not big problem to me but I've noticed that applications like ''Airdroid'' detect internal memory as SD card and do not detect external SD card at all when tried to change that from settings.
This phone does not come with USB data cable/connector so being able to transfer files on Wifi is important function and I rely on it quite often. Small files do ok, but whenever I try to transfer file exceeding the free internal space it gives me error ''not enough space''. I've 16 gigs SD card so I would like it to be used by Airdroid directly, if that is possible.
Anyone?
