Got current TWRP installed. Works like a champ.
Though I don't see that it recognizes my external SD card, am I missing the setting somewhere?
Can't figure out how to backup/restore/install from SD card.
Thanks in advance!

You have official TWRP release? I have it on my M8 and it works with both FAT32 and exFAT formatted microsd cards.

Maybe I'm being dense (happens) but how does it manifest? In other words, how do you install a zip from your SD card for example?
EDIT: And yep, I'm being dense, didn't realize what is a button on the TWRP UI (coming from CM)

Click the install button. At the top it should have a text field that says internal storage and how much space it has. Click that and select external / micro SD

Ok I just bought a 32gb micro sd card.. and I put it in my phone..
how do i make that the primary card that everything gets downloaded it will go there...
because as of right now, I cant even move my games or apps to the external sd card.
You cant.
I'd guess it wouldn't be possible without any custom scripting, similar to apps2sd.
Why would you want to move your games/apps to the sd card?
If you go to "Manage Applications" most apps can be moved to SD card.

But only to the internal SD card, not the removable one.
as long as your rooted. I use root explorer and cut and past to my 32 gb ext card. Its easy with a file program as this. Until someone writes an APPTOExSD its the only way to make it happen. I know it sucks.

Because my internal phone memory is only 1.3 GB
You could run the CyanogenMod custom ROM. That points /sdcard to the microSD and /emmc to the internal memory. Warning, you have to load it on to your phone and you need to install a custom recovery. If that means nothing to you then I advise you read the development forum for a while before attempting anything. If, on the other hand, you know what I'm talking about then you should already know that it's a nightly build, not stable with no ETA of stability. That said, I've been running it for a few weeks now.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058131 for details on the ROM.

Try looking at an app call GL to SD.
Works on my tablet to move gigs of data to external, and the app will still open the apps.
Its like a temporary mount swap.

On latest CMR. This has never been a problem. Bought a new sd card. Card works perfectly. Went to flash an update and have error saying can't read external sd card. Reformat. Remounted. Still no luck.
It's a 64gb.
Any one have a solution or had a similar problem?
Try TWRP... ****ty solution, but worth a try.
Lol yeah, thanks for the response though.
I would try it, but since I already moved all my files off and on after reformat I feel like I wasted too much time with this already.
I can still flash from internal card, and my external sd card works perfectly otherwise so it really doesn't make a difference.
I guess we can all just make note that a reformat doesn't work in this situation so it can save some people trouble and time.

Must be formated to Fat32 for any recovery to see it. It comes formatted ExtFat.

Nice, thanks!
How can I tell what the card is formatted to? Any reason not to leave it the way it is?

Haha the above scenario is why you likely don't want to leave it as is. No recovery will see your external sd card if it's formatted to exfat. So, you'll have to use your internal storage to flash roms if you don't have it formatted to Fat32.
You can check the format by plugging your external sd card into a computer right clicking the drive and pressing "Format" (don't worry a second window opens) or I think you can also see it by selecting "Properties."

Hi, yes you're right, more details:
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.1
Zip files was on micro SD card formatted in NTFS.
And what I tried with no success is to find teh file on sd card location.
So I test FAT? On SD Card?

That TWRP version is very old... but should be good enough for wiping.
How did you try to find the file "on sd card location"? Using "Select storage?" Or did you mount using the mount page? In which directory did you look? external_sd or whatever it's called?

In TWRP I choosed "Install" option and look for .zip files I copied. I looked in folder SDCARD and EXTERNAL_SDCARD located at root and I found nothing.
I didn't use the "mount" option.

Which folder did you put them into on the card?
My guess is that they are in that folder
Which rom.zip files btw?
Well... I try to developp a little bit more to get some help.
I installed in my micro SD formatted in EX FAT format and in the SD card formatted in FAT32 format the two zip files dowloaded here:
Download CM11.0
Download GAPPS
They are installed at the root of both cards, there is no other files or folder in it.
I start in TWRP and then click install icon and look for these files everywhere and found nothing.
When I cick to mount icon, I cannot mount the micro SD or the SD cards.
Could you help me?
Is it possible to install another version of TWRP if the system does'nt start anymore?

when you enter twrp you should press on install, then there is a tab that says choose storage press on that and choose sd card, then carry on as you have been doing. twrp doesn't automatically show things on your micro sd card

Kind Regards

Hy,
No,i didn't know that this is necessary. What file system is needed? NTFS,Fat32 or is there a Special System for Android
Do i need a special Software to format the Card or can it be done with Windows?

It can be done with Windows. I don't know if this will work or not, but just play around a bit. Maybe Samsung formats it for their phones only ?

I was asking if you were using the "adoptable storage" feature, it's a feature that comes with android Marshmallow.
I guess you aren't using it since you didn't even know what it is.

Ok don't use it because since I know it, I have no SD card. And since I buy sd card, SD CARD CORRUPT problem is detected.
