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?

heres the deal i am using a 32gb micro sd card in my samsung vibrant flashed a backup image onto sd using rom manager now i deleted recovery image but my laptop still reads it as 8gb instead of 32 and no device can mount, read, or format it how do i fix it

My CWM is pointed to my external SD card, so I can't install new ROMs, etc. How do I get CMW to point to the internal SD card when I boot into recovery? Thanks.
Hello,
I have installed TWRP 2.3.3 on my LG G2x (rooted Android 2.3.4 OS) per the instructions on the teamwin website http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/63. I can backup to the internal SD but the external SD backups disappear upon reboot after backup. I can see the external SD backups after backup but before reboot via file manager (although the dates are wrong....they say 2007). But, when I reboot, all that was written to the external SD is lost. If I copy the internal SD backup over to the external SD, then TWRP sees it on both the internal and external SD (it is not lost or deleted). My external SD card is a 32gb class 10 card formatted with FAT 32. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get TWRP backup to external SD working? Thanks.
I would have posted to the appropriate developers forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749678&page=9 , but I am not allowed as I am a noob with less than 10 posts . Thanks.
Best Regards,

Never mind . I ran H2testw software on my SD card and determined that is is a fake. Sold to me on ebay as a 32gb card and it is actually only a 2gb card!! Filing a dispute with the seller right now!!
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?
I've flashed my tablet (SM-T800) according to the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...android-6-marshmallow-tab-s-10-5-lte-t3219759
One of the instructions mentions coping SuperSU and GApps to the SD Card afterwards so they can be reflashed after an update. Does this mean I can't format the SD card as internal storage?
You can. But you still can copy files to SD card AFAIK.
