Hi guys, I will like to know if it's safe to move TWRP folder from the internal storage to the external SD card to free space on the internal storage?
Will my device be able to boot to recovery when I transfer the TWRP folder to the external SD card?
Hi,
Would be best to know your device and exact model....so I can point you to the guys that know your device best....
But if you move it, twrp may not find it when you go to restore. If you can't get into your OS at the time, that could be an issue.

Actually, I believe it is possible to backup and restore to external SD. You may possibly need to mount the external sd if twrp doesn't already see it.
Moving it manually should work, as long as the folder structure is the same.
Just experiment with it and you should see. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.

I own a TF101 and this morning I wanted to install a custom rom because I want my TF101 to be fast as hell!
First thing I did was rooting my device with the latest version of Razorclaw. This worked flawlessly. After this I tried to enter recovery but I kept getting a large yellow exclamation mark. So I assumed (maybe wrong because it was better I think to FIRST ask here ) I needed custom recovery so I succesfully installed one-click-recovery-installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180&highlight=recovery
After this I downloaded a custom rom, renamed it to UPDATE.ZIP and installed it on a FAT32 formatted SD card. After this I went to the recovery (POWER+VOL DOWN) and tried to install ZIP from sd. NO matter what I try, I keep getting a message that sd card is not or cannot be mounted. I tried to use 3 different SD cards and formatted it different ways with the W7 format option and SD formatter utility but it just does not work.
Now what........
thxz for help!
EDIT: for you info: the SD card is recognized ok in android itself.
looks like others are seeing similar. Looks like there might be a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126477&page=2

Also future reference, no need to change to update.zip forflashing roms. Only radios, kernels etc. So rename to romname.zip and choose install from sdcard.
You have to do: Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard.
Or do a NVFLASH if possible
If your sdcard isn't mounted, then you might need to reformat or create a partition on it. I had the same issue when I first rooted and the card wasn't mounted, and it was fixed when I used gparted or whatever the hell partition program I came across to create a partition on the card. Didn't need to do that for another usd card I got, but that might solve your issue.
Is it on the MicroSD card, thats where I had to put mine.
I have a serious problem, I flashed CM9 on accident when I was already on CM10 nightlies which put my phone into a bootloop so I did a factory restore from fastboot. Somehow this made it so that my phone can no longer recognize the SD Card. This makes it impossible to install ROMs or even apps. Basically my phone is useless without a recognizable SD Card. I tried everything from updating drivers to mounting USB and recovery and nothing seems to get the internal SD Card recognized. Any ideas?
Bump!

Here is another thread with the same issue. No real solution there, but maybe you could pm the OP and see if he had any luck: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870861
Really happy with Tab 2 in general, but..
I've always used App2SD or similar and this fails to show SD card as an option.
SD card is seen by system, system can/has formatted SD card.
Root access is good, thanks one and all for the posts.
With ES explorer extSDcard is not always shown, have to enter root first then mnt etc to find it.
Can safely browse, add and remove files with most applications.
TiBackup has used SD card.
I really want to keep the system/application storage at maximum free space. Is it just App2SD or does everyone have the same issue?
Cheers
Alec.

This script simply swaps the mapping, external becomes internal and internal would be external. Not sure that helps. Guess you can shove in a big ol uSD but probably best advice is don't load a bunch of unused apps. 13GB internal is a lot of space.

Just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-ville.zip. Turn on USB storage doesn't work - throbber keeps spinning forever. Logcat shows
Code:
E/MountService( 677): Failed to share/unshare
E/MountService( 677): com.android.server.NativeDaemonConnector$NativeDaemonFailureException: command '36 volume share /storage/sdcard0 ums' failed with '401 36 volume operation failed (No such device)'
Anyone seen this before?
I had this problem when I accidentally deleted the sd card during a poor flash attempt. Took me a really long time to fix, formatted the sd card in windows after mounting on twrp. Does the phone find the sd card?

Yep the sd card works fine in the phone, it's only when connecting via usb to my (Linux) laptop to transfer files that it fails to mount it.
(I would post to the CM10.2 thread but I don't have permissions...)
same issue here
I just installed cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and not able to access not even the internal storage. I go to file manager, sdcard0 is selected at the top but no files are displayed.
I then wiped off everything and installed the previous build cm-10.2-20130823-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip . Same issue. Don`t know what to do..

Ok, so now i`m running the first build for CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130819-NIGHTLY-i9100 ) same issue.
Basically when i open the camera it`s says No external storage available. If i go to Settings->Storage it shows Internal Storage 2Gb in size (this is where my apps are installed). Under that it shows SD Card with 16Gb (this is actually my external SD Card).
I really don`t understand what`s wrong here

I suspect you may have better luck in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 forum, as this one is for the HTC One S.
Unless you're trying to install the i9100 rom on the One S, in which case I'm surprised it even boots.

There are a lot of data recovery tools in this thread. If you have any questions, you should try asking in there.
