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

SO, i'm kinda new to flashing roms onto android, but I followed guides and might have run into a problem. I flashed clockwork recovery mod onto my internal sd, and when i try to install cyanogenmod, clockwork defaults to my internal sd. As far as I can tell, I have to wipe that to install. Is clockwork being on my internal sd a problem? And if so, how would i go about fixing that.
Thanks in advance for any feedback, and sorry if this has been posted somewhere else.
It's not ON your internal sdcard. It reads files FROM your internal sdcard. Recovery will remain on your phone no matter what you do to your sdcard. So flash away.
Heyy Everyone,
I am running CM9 ROM on my HTC Chacha,is there any solution for low internal memory?Can i install apps directly to Extsd instead of Internal memory,please anyone help me..it's really Annoying
Wrong section. This is a question for General. And yes, there is. You can also find solutions in the CM9 thread (I wrote one of them).
Where is that tutorial and does it apply to HTC Chacha?

It's not a tutorial, but basically amounts to install Link2SD.
I myself use D2EXT from here:

It works nicely. But don't delete dalvik cache with it installed as you will get bootloops. It's not hard to fix, though, but you will need a computer and adb installed. So just don't delete the dalvik cache and you will be fine.
To install it, you will need to partition your SD card and create an ext4 partition. You will lose everything on your SD, so make a backup first.
Use the guide on the link I posted . You will need a fast SD card.
And next time use the general forum.
Good luck.

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.
