Ok, I need some help. I was going to flash [ROM]SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.7 but when I was reading the instructions and it says
"-place base rom of your choice on external sd card." I do not have a external sd card. Can I flash it off the internal sd?

The ROM files will still be on there after i system wipe and factory data reset?
Yes... You will be fine.
Just do not format internal & you'll be ok.
Formatting system won't erase those files .

I have a question regarding the external SD card. My applications wont run and it says error while launching application. And when I connect it via usb, the selection appears for kies, media, and mass storage. If i choose media, it will show on my computer, but if i choose mass storage, it just goes back to my home screen. I am really buffed because i can browse the contents of the SD card if i use the internal file manager.
I would appreciate the help...

You could just get another copy of tb from the market... But wiping your caches(and fixing permissions) won't effect your sd card or any data on it.
The only time I had a issue like this required me to re-format my sd...
Were you using some sort of app 2 sd? Perhaps you put a partition on it? What rom? Help us help you

After formatting and returning the files back to SD card, the error still persist... Will this error disappear if i flash to GB?
Do you have the option of mounting/un-mounting your card or does it just say mount SD? If it only says mount SD then your card is gone.

it does have unmount option. I can also see the disk spaces and also i can browse the files with the stock file browser. Bt, im now running GB 2.3.6 and still I am experiencing the problem... formatting did not fix the problem...
When you formatted it on the PC was it set as primary?
Were you trying to update your ROM by saving your apps on the sd card then reloading them onto 2.3.6? I was wondering about doing this. Maybe gingerbread and froyo read apk's differently, and if they are already installed on sd card I could see problems arising. Never worked when I tried that with any windows formatting

Re-format it using a PC/laptop.
It should solve the problem and don't format it using the NTFS system.
Hope this helps.

Insert the card in a card reader and attach it to a PC.
- Does the PC recognize the memory card?
- Can you copy a file to your external sd card using a PC?
- Does the card work in any other device that you have?
SD card is full

Go to the sd swap thread and download the vold from the last link on the first post. That has the memories swapped and allows movement of apps to and from sd card.

Hello Developers and life savers,
After I updated to EOS 117 update for JB in my WINGRAY, I have lost my SD CARD Storage in recovery both internal and external. Now I can't update or flash anything because I keep getting "Can't mount SD" in recovery.
I would really appreciate anyone's help please bear in mind that I'm a noob.
Thankfully

You mount system? You don't need to mount anything manually from within recovery. Simply boot to recovery, flash SU, be done.
Any error message? That could help us help you!

You put the su zip in the internal memory? It belongs in the external memory, also known as USB storage or sdcard storage. From there, you can select install zip from SD card then, choose zip. No mounting required.

OK well I didn't know about it needing to be on the sdcard. But after trying 3 different recovery and 4 different superuser zips I got root now. All were on internal. But its a old version. And I cant get it to update through market. Gonna retry on the SD. Thanks for the help
Also, am I not supposed to flash anything from the internal storage? Or is that just for su?

ohh.. thanks for clearing out, you got everyone confused. Things lost in translation haan
BTW no external memory card in Nexus S anyways... Its 16GB Memory partitioned into internal memory and sd card, 1GB : Remaining 13.5GB
Everything through recovery is done from SD-Card, and put in root of the card.

Tried to do a backup with Titanium Backup Pro today and got a message that the External SD could not be accessed. Couldn't access it with Root Explorer either. Took the card out and connected to PC, could read/write to card and all my data was there. Put card back into phone and used the file manager in TWRP Recovery. Again no luck. Tried "Mount" in TWRP but when I tap "ExtSD" it won't put in a checkmark and it can't be selected. I have no idea what to try next. I'm rooted on 4.1.2. Stock, TWRP recovery. Any ideas on how to fix will be appreciated.
Shut down your phone and take your card out and insert it to your pc. Transfer all your files to your pc and then format the sd card. After that transfer your items back to your sd card and put back into your phone. Boot it up and you should be good to go.

The phone can't see the card so I can't format it with the phone. If I format it with the PC which format should I use. Fat32, NTFS ?
