CWM, your ROM should be in the INTERNAL memory.
TEAMWIN is either, you have an option within RECOVERY to choose internal/external SD.
In regard to making backups to microSD... You cant as of now... They are working on it...
If you want to use your EXTERNAL SD through TEAMWIN, boot to recovery, click on the MOUNT button and look at the middle of the screen, click on the box to the left of the "Using exterlan SDCard" and you will be able to flash from your microSD.
Hope that helps...

Atfer i format my sd card by the computer , the partitions will have gone and i'll need to creat them again?
there are directions how to do that?
tnx very much!
You shouldn't need to create partitions on the SD card after you format it. In fact, you can format it from the phone too. >Settings >SD & Phone Storage >Unmount SD Card >Format SD Card

the problem is that i cant choose "Format SD Card".
Only "Unmount SD card"..
Do as I said. You have to unmount before you can format.

Hello,
IN recovery under mount and storage menu, there is an option format/SD card?
My question is that, will this format the external SD card or will it format the internal SD card ?
I want to make sure, because what I want to do is format my external SD card.
I tried formatting the card with my PC, the phone still can not see it.
My 32 GB external card , doesn't show up. Maybe If I format it using the phone, the phone will be able to see it.
thank you in advance
If your phone can't detect the external memory card, how can it format it? You'll end up formatting the internal card. Looking at my settings, I do not think the phone even allows you to format the external card from the Storage menu.
mmm. ...... I inserted an 8GB card in it, the phone was able to detect it, but when I insert the 32GB it can't see the card.
Any ideas what the issue maybe?
how do i format the internal sdcard? im using cwm and that thread says its not possible. figured since it was internal after a wipe it would also clear it.
In "mount and storage" sHould be an option to format internal sd card (it might be listed as sd card only) Make sure you have all the files you need to flash on external sd card and your recovery is able to see your external sd card (our have ADB working just in case)
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393 , and where it says:
"Make sure file tmo_kk_extsd_fix.zip is in your Internal SD Card (Phone's Internal Memory < < < DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE, SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE IT IN YOUR PHONE"
My questions are:
How do I get it to my internal SD Card - I'm assuming I have to flash it in Odin, since you can't just copy/paste thru the phone via the PC?
Do I have to format the card first?
I have twrp, do i need PHILZ recovery?
I am rooted and using Wicked 4.4.2

Why can't you copy and paste from the comp? I can. That or take your SD card out and use an adapter.

Oh okay. So you're saying there's nothing wrong with taking a micro sd reader and copying it that way? I thought I would have to format it first, but if not that's great

Okay I just powered off the phone and connected it to the PC and I definitely can not copy and paste files to it, let alone the SD card
> How do I get it to my internal SD Card
If you are on the device downloading then it will go to '/storage/emulated/0/Download'. '0' is the internal SD card. Just copy it up one directory so it will be at the top level of the SD card.
If it is on your PC you can put it there through MTP -- the Windows directory 'N900T/Phone' -- or through ADB. ADB requires that it is enabled on the device in 'Settings-->Developer Options' (search 'enable developer options'). Then on the PC in a command prompt window:
adb push "whatever the file is" /storage/emulated/0
Then you boot into TWRP, hit the button 'Install', explore to the file you put on the SD card. After seeing the nice explorer in TWRP you'll know that you could have saved the zip just about anywhere, like the Download directory.

Sorry if Im being super thick, but when you say "internal SD card" do you mean the internal storage, and not the Micro SD card? Because if I put the Micro SD card in the GN3 it says "blank SD card". After downloading the file and going to TWRP my options of select storage are:
Internal Storage (19580MB)
Micro SDcard (0MB)
USB Storage (0MB)
I can only select internal storage. So should I just install it from internal storage?

Yes.
Internal Storage (19580MB)
AKA: SDCARD, internal sdcard, '/sdcard', fixed sdcard, non-removable sdcard , external sdcard .
Micro SDcard (0MB)
AKA: Removable sdcard, external sdcard.
Note that both have 'external sdcard'. Originally 'sdcard' was for the phone (not on your list) and they added a fixed 'external sdcard' for shared storage and the 'sdcard' was known as an internal sdcard. Then when they added a removable sdcard the term 'external sdcard' began to cause confusion. People thought of the removable sdcard as an external sdcard, so the external sdcard was thought to be the internal sdcard.
The ability exists for there to be multiple removable sdcards so be prepared for more confusion.

I did it then rebooted. Now I get an endless loop of Blank Card/Mount/Format/Erasing , and then it goes right back to blank/unmounted. Brand New Card too.

At this point you should go back to where you got the fix and report the problem. I don't have Android 4.4++ so I can't help.

Hello,
i have been using adoptable storage for a while and i like it.
My adopted card however is getting close to full so i would like to switch to a larger one.
Has anyone done this? Is there anyway to transfer the data from the old to the new adopted card?
I dont have enough space on the phone memory itself to move everything back to the internal storage.
i can move pics and music to an hdd but not sure about apps and associated data that is on the card.
Thanks in advance!
You can send all files in sd card with a secondary app like zapya to computer and resend them to sd card when you adopted new sd card in your phone
Have you looked at HTC SyncManager?
I wasnt aware of these options i will look into them and report.
Thank you
Shouldn't it work if you just copy everything on your SD card to a PC, place the new SD card, format it as internal storage, copy everything back and restart?
I'm not sure if this works, but your apps are still installed on internal storage, only app data is placed on SD card.
Check settings > storage
If you tap on your internal storage, there should be some GB at apps and just a few MB on your SD card.

Except that pulling the adopted storage eviscerates the file system...
The only strategy I could fathom would be to duplicate the image onto the new SD card plugged in USB-OTG. If that were even possible, a concern would be changes during copy, making it inconsistent.
converted to adoptable storage but no data import option in the SD Card in storage
I am using a Samsung galaxy S5 and i converted my SD card to adoptable storage using adb shell process. after that there are two options showing in storage settings, internal storage and SD card.
Is it converted to Adoptable storage? If yes then why is there no option of importing data in the menu of 'SD card' storage option.
and how can i transfer from internal to SD card. or can make use of adoptable storage properly?
