Hello, I couldn't seem to find this answered anywhere, but I'm new to the Nexus 5 and my question is, what are the proper steps to flashing a ROM? I'm used to there being an sdcard and being able to wipe everything but that and not having the zip file be deleted in the process.. Thank you in advance

The internal sd card is just like the external that your used to. It does not get wiped
I'm unable to make any Nandroid Backups on my i9500, running TWRP 2.7.0.0. Previously, I was able to make backups as well as restore them. But I've started having this problem since 15-20 days. I want to flash to a Custom ROM right now, but I can't because none of my older Nandroid backups are working, and when I try to make a new one, it says - Backup Complete, Failed. The same happens even when I enable compression. The other features are working fine, I'm able to flash ZIPs normally.
How can I get rid of this problem? Should I flash an older version of TWRP? If yes, how should I do it? Just flash it through recovery?

Hey there..
This problem might occur if there is not enough space left in your SD card.
please make sure that there is enough space left on the external storage before making a backup..
cheers
Hi!
There seems to be a few threads on twrp here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop
I'm not sure which you flashed, but you could try a different version found in thread above....just follow the instructions in the thread. Or explain your issue in the thread you got yours from.
I see you have only 8 posts, and you need 10 under your belt to be allowed to post in the development section. So just browse around the i9500 section in general and q&a and make a few "useful" posts.
Here's the i9500 section.

Good luck!

I just recently formatted it, from the option available in settings.
So there's like 6-7 GBs free space. I can't backup to Internal Storage or to Ext SD Card.
I'll try downgrading TWRP and see if that works.
Problem solved
I successfully flashed CWM. You may mark this as Solved/Completed now.
Thank you so much for your help.
Hey guys!
I'm having this slight issue I hope you guys can help me with.
Basically I've suffered from the softbrick that some of you guys experienced (Audio-FX/CM Lock Screen/Bricklooping)
[GUIDE]Fix!!! Brickloop/Audio FX FC/EFS Corrupt!!!
I managed to fix my phone & was able to recover from one of my nandroid backups.
But in any of the ROMs I recovered from my SDCard isn't available (Files, Music, Movies) nor do they show up on my computer when plugged in. Which is weird because I can access them in recovery (Philz) & flash a new ROM which are located in my SDCard. But if I do flash a new ROM from that would put me back in the loop.
I've read the guide above to fix loop. But I read further in the guide that to fix everything I'd have to wipe my SDCard clean to basically make a new one.
Is there a possible way to recover or pull the files from my SDCard before clearing them? or a possible way to remount?
Hello XDA:
Earlier today I successfully flashed my nook color to CM7.2 using TWRP 2.3.0.2 as described in this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227.
After that I successfully flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0.
Right now I am trying to flash CM11 with the corresponding g.apps, but the files are not visible in recovery. What can I do? This is my first time rooting/loading roms so any help I can get is much appreciated.
Hi there,
Try to put that files (zips of CM and GApps) on the external SD Card and try again. maybe is something wrong with that recovery and didn't recognize your internal memory.
Also give us more details about your device for better pointing to the right forum.
Thanks
Hi thanks for the reply. I was actually trying to load the files from an external SD the entire time.
I managed the fix the problem luckily. I had an extra SD card on hand so I re-downloaded the files and tried flashing them to the device from the other card. It worked.
Is this a good way to do things in the future? That way I can keep my files intact on the main SD card and use a seperate SD card to flash new ROMs etc. Though I dont know if the file systems on the main SD card will be interchangeable between ROMs.
The device is a Nook Color (encore). I used the link that I posted in the OP to load CM7 and then CM11. The Nook Color community seems rather dead, so I posted here.
Glad to hear that you have done it.
Take care with SD Card no name. You can loose important files like photos or other docs if something goes wrong.
Good luck

Hello All. I’ve run into an issue with my new Moto G4+. I rooted the phone a couple of weeks ago and all was well with that. I downloaded the AOKP rom last Friday and was going to flash it over the weekend. To my surprise, TWRP does no see my external SD card so I can’t do a backup. The internal storage does not have enough space to backup. I have the 16gb model. I can see/use the SD card with no problem when the phone is running. I’ve searched the forums for a solution, but the only thing I’ve found is to format the SD card as internal storage. However, folks seem to be really, really divided on this solution. I really want to flash AOKP, but I need to do a Nandroid backup first. I tried doing an on-line backup with the TWRP app, but it doesn’t provide me with an MD5 for verification. Any help with getting TWRP in recovery mode to see the SD card would be greatly appreciated. TWRP file manager and terminal allow me to see the card (sdcard1 is its name in TWRP recovery), but it does not show up for "select storage" or "mount" options.
Thanks.
