[Q] Installing larger SD Card with Safestrap installed - General Questions and Answers

I followed the great directions here for my phone and got it successfully rooted on 4.3 with the locked bootloader. I then installed Safestrap 3.71 and it installed without error. I created a recovery for my Stock ROM and I now see it located at /extSDCard/TWRP/BACKUPS. I also just realized (duh) that I really need a larger SD card if I'm going to be able to work with more then one Virtual Slot. Before I go further and create Virtual ROM partition slots, I'd like to put a larger SD card in my phone. I've completely backed up my current SD card to PC, so My question is:
Can I install a larger SD Card without boot problems from my initial Safestrap install, provided I restore the TWRP sub-directory in the root of the new SD Card?

[Q] Data2SD unable to install Cromi

I have formatted my micro sd card (samsung class 10 64GB) in Gparted with 1 FAT32 partition of 8GB, and the rest is EXT4.
Furthermore I have the following files on my FAT32 partition:
data2sd-jb42-that0_modByHundsbuah.zip
hundsbuah_v3.2.0-OC_JB4.2.1.zip
CROMi-Xenogenesis ODEX 4.7.0_Signed.zip
mount-data2sd.zip
First off, my TWRP 2.5.0.0 gets stuck on the splash screen with the sd card inserted, so I have to take it in and out again. Then, I flash the mount-data2sd.zip, and then I want to do a wipe. However, after this is done, the files on the FAT32 partition are no longer visible in TWRP and I'm unable to install anything more. What am I doing wrong in the process of installing Cromi on my SD card?

It looks like the TWRP can not read your External SD card. You probably need to format your External SD again. There are a few things you need to pay attention.
1. Your first partition is a fat32 and set it as a primary partition.
2. Your second partition is ext4 and set it as a primary partition also.
After a reformat, you can try to use TWRP again and hope that it can read your SD. Good luck.
I've done it twice, but I guess third time's the charm. Going to try with different software and see what happens
The same thing happened when I Tried it again.
Booting into TWRP with SD card inserted will cause the splash to be shown until the card is taken out
So I take the card out, and I'm ready to flash files from the fat32 part of my card. I flash the mount-data2sd file, then press back. Now, at this point the Cromi file itself didn't appear on the card so I press home. Trying to access the memory card again, no files show up this time...
I fail to see why, but what am I doing wrong?

Do you have another SD to try out? It could be something wrong with the one that you are using. It looks like you still can access to your external SD once when you first insert it in. These are the options you can try them out. First, when you first insert your SD, you need to copy all the files that you have from the external SD to your internal SD. From there, you can install from your internal SD. Second, when you first insert you SD, you need to install the cromi x first. When you have it up and running, you can connect your device to your computer and transfer all the file that you need to install data2SD. Good luck.. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Nook Tablet running Sdcard bootable ClockWorkMod

I'm looking for a bootable sdcard that can run ClockWorkMod Recovery to backup my Nook tablet stock rom. I'd rather use a stable allready created rom rather than make from scratch. My Nook tablet is model BNTV400. I also plan on using a Sandisk 64Gig class 10 sd card. I'm already using a Sandisk 64Gig class 10 and have had zero issues with it.
I've created bootable Sd cards before when I first ran triple boot Sd card Cyanogenmod running on my Nook Color years ago.
After I can backup my current stock to the sd card I plan in doing a factory reset on the stock and backing that up also.
After that my first key goal will be to create a triple boot sd card much as I did for the Nook Color. Or if at all possiable a sd card bootable cm 10.1 Version 4.22 to test fully before in installing to the emmc.
The basic steps I remember. 1 Download a generic boot image and burn it to the sd card. Download a cyanogenmod image and burn it. Resize the fat 32 partition using a Windows app. Put the sd card in the Nook, turn it on and then immediately hold down the Nook button until the menu appears. Go thru the steps to do a backup to the sd card. Finally choose reboot and injoy.
Any steps I've missed or put down incorrectly?

Why is TWRP installed on my SD card?

Whilst upgrading to LP I removed my SD card and realised I couldn't boot to recovery with it removed.
Assuming I buy a new microSD card to increase storage, how will I flash zips etc?
