CWM and external_sd - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At first Galaxy Note there were no problems with installing ZIP's from my MicroSD card. You just need to format MicroSD card with SDFormateer V3.1 tool and it will be available at CWM. But this method didn't work on Galaxy Note II for some reason. How can I make available my MicroSD card for CWM in Note II?

select "mount sd card" from the CWM menu?

[Q] formatting SD card

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.

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...

When you go to "install from sd card" are you seeing two options(should be first and last) for install from card or install from phone storage? I ask because there are two different CWMs out there.
What he means is that the new versions of cw would not support External SD even when u try to mount then.
For flashing Rom I recommend internal SD if that's what you are trying to do.
CW Touch 5.8.4.9. No ExSd
Last time just to see the difference I flash back to 5.8.4.6 and it those show both sd with out the need to mount then.
Hope this help

SD card is not recognized in CWM recovery mode?

So, I have a 64gb SanDisk SD card formatted in exFAT format.
When I boot into recovery mode in CWM, it does not show an external SD card.
I even went as far as trying to manually mount the SD card... but when I tried, it said that the SD card was not mountable.
Is there any way to fix this... to make it be recognized in CWM recovery mode?
Format card to fat32. Don't think cwm can read exfat

I think you might be right...
Im going to format to fat32 and then see if it makes a difference.

Yup! exFAT was the culprit!
I formatted to fat32 and now CWM recovery can mount the SD card.
FYI, if it helps anyone else that comes across this same issue... it took me a while to find a good program to format my card...
I found one that someone created that worked like a charm!

The simple answer is Yes . Install PhilZ Touch 4 Recovery 4.88.5. All credit goes to PhilZ and all CWM folks :good:
PhilZ Touch 4 Recovery 4.88.5 based on CWM 6.0.2.9 will support both ext4 and exFAT filesystem under recovery mode.

[Q] TWRP defaults to wrong external sd path

Ok first of all I'm using dandroids latest rom and I recently installed the latest version of TWRP because Clockworkmod would not work with exfat and I read that TWRP would. So when I tried to do a backup with TWRP to my 64gb microsd card, it detected my external sd card as /storage/emulated/0 when it should really be /storage/extsdcard. Because it detected the wrong path it made a backup on my internal drive. When I use TWRP's file manager, I can navigate to the external sd path just fine and see all my files on my micro sdcard. When I click on the internal sd card button within the file manager the path shows simply sdcard. When I click on the externalsd button it shows /storage/emulated/0. How can I point the external sd to /storage/extsdcard instead of /storage/emulated/0?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I guess when I boot into recovery, I can choose the external sd card but not straight from the app icon. Its weird, but it works. I just have to boot to recovery first.
What App are you referring to ?
Try Nandroid manager to mange your Backups.

TWRP is what I was talking about. works great from recovery but not so much from within android. Maybe its just the Rom I'm running or something. I was more concerned with pointing recovery at my micro sd location where my nandroid backups are saved.
Can you Re-flash latest TWRP version for your Device ?
