What kind of sd card is it? What did you format it as? (Exfat, fat, ntfs, etc)

I finaly got myself a memory card reader. Is there a full guide on how to partition my Sd card? Can i do it with stock rom?
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
just root your phone, install the cwm, and then use it to partition your sd by entering the recovery, and after that you can install a2sd or other for activating your ext. you can search the complete tutorial in the forum. hope will help

If you are using linux, I can walk you through doing it on Gparted, or I can walk you through doing it in ClockworkMod.
U can use gparted or mini partition tools on windows.
Or through CWM ( need root )

I know this will sound stupid, but I'm kinda new to this and I accidentaly formatted everything on my phone. Basically the only thing I can do now is boot into recovery mode. How cani fix this? Can I just flash a rom from my external sdcard?
Yes you can

So you didn't format everything if your sd card still good. Also in yourcase you should of probably have had a nandroids backup on the sd card.

If you formatted everything including the SD card that had your nandroid like I did a while ago, you can follow this guide:

Put a rom on your sd card from your PC... put sd card back in your phone. Boot into recovery and flash.

I tried to run a backup using CWM recover 6.0.3.1 and I keep getting an error "cannot find mount point." it will backup to the internal storage but will not backup into the sd card. I have tried almost everything. Backing up to internal and moving it to sd, that takes to long. I have also tried to un mount/mount the card, move backup path, fix permission, re flash CWM. Please help! Thanks

I downloaded a rom and its in es file folder when boot into recovery I cant find the rom nowhere.I had no problems with finding roms using 4 ext touch anyone know where the rom is at in clockmod recovery this is driving me crazy lol
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Try putting it on the root of your SD card and make sure you are looking in extSdCard.
I cant find a wipe for dalvic like on 4 ext touch.so basically when installing a new rom just wipe everything except sd card then flash rom then wipe partition and then reboot.

Your not extracting the zips are u? Do not extract the zip file. Then put the zip file on your sd card and boot into recovery. Then apply zip from ext card. But first go into advance options on cwm and wipe dalvic cache, wipe etc. Etc

In recovery select 'install zip from SD card'. At the next screen select 'choose zip from external SD card' if that's where you put it. If you select 'choose zip from SD card' it will look in the internal storage.
Hey it on my device storage how do I get to it through recovery or hoe do I move the rom from device storage to my sd card.

If is on your phone, select install zip from SD card then select choose zip from SD card and then go to wherever you saved it. If you want to move it to your external SD card, plug phone to your computer and move it to /extsdcard. Then in recovery select install zip from SD card and then select install zip from external SD card. What is the link to what you downloaded that you can't find?
Hey I just found the rom and I downloadrd it then I wipe dalvic and cache partition and then I rebooted my phone and my stock factory rom is still on my phone what did I do wrong.
