Hey guys, I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer. Basically, I'm having trouble with TWRP -- it won't mount/recognize my SD card at all. All the advice I've seen so far is to format the microSD card as fat32. Unfortunately, this fix doesn't work for me, as my SD is already formatted to fat32.
Are there any other alternate options?
Thanks!
EDIT: this is on TWRP 2.3.2.3
you probably need to update TWRP. If you rooted using the Galaxy Note 2 tool kit, it's a slightly older version. Here's the thread on TWRP, which you can find the latest version.
I think i'm on the newest version. I updated it a couple days ago using goo manager to 2.3.2.3, which seems to be the newest one
that would be the newest. I had that problem till I updated. My SDXC card is formatted in NTSF. Maybe, you need to reformat it in your phone.
yea, I'll try that. wish me luck

That's about right for available space you'll get. But can you mount or browse the card in twrp?

It seems that I can't format my SD card through TWRP. The phone itself sees the SD card just fine except when inside TWRP

I'll check in a little bit phone is dead and cycling battery. But my 32gb showed up. Are you sure you're not changing it to show external storage

you need to go into advance menu, file manager. Then you need to look externalSDCard directory or similar name. That's your SDXC card. Don't use that external/internal option in one of the other menus.
This tends to be case in some of the file manager apps as well such as ES File Explorer.
ok, so, it seems it's not under external_sdcard, but under sdcard. So I guess to access the sdcard i have to go through that. Thanks for the help
Is there any way I can change the default backup location for TWRP to use the SD card? I can't backup to internal storage since I don't have enough space
I had a similar issue with this 2 days ago. ..Could not mount the 64gig sd card in trwp but works fine on the phone. ..I updated to the newest twrp yesterday and that resolve the issue. ..

I don't understand your problem when you go to twrp click install, you have the option to check to either internal or external right at the top.

This internal/external partition card storage is kinda hidden in plain sight...presuming the OP's SD card isn't toast.

Hidden in plain sight, really not that hard to see lol. If you can't take the 3 seconds to look where it says internal or external you shouldn't even bother trying to worry about it simple as that.

Tapping on "use external SD" just has it snap back to "use internal storage" and the error message "unable to mount '/external_sdcard'" comes up. So no, it's not that I'm blind.
Never really heard of this, but i was told from my brother that after putting a new SD Card into my phone i have to format the SD card.. I thought you just put the SD card in and bam its ready to go. So if i do have to format it, how do i do that? Thank you.

Menu>system settings>storage>unmount then format or you can do via recovery as well depending on which you use

Yeah I couldn't find it via recovery on TWRP, but when I go into setting and storage.. all it has is unmount SD card and when I do that, it just tells me to mount it back up. But w.e I already started putting ROMs, kernels and other stuff on my phone. All seems to work out well so I'm good I guess

If on TWRP then select wipe and should give you options for cache, dalvik cache, system, factory reset, SD card, internal storage and android secure.

what is the process for formating an internal drive that says i have 225 apps stored on it. Actually its only about 60, which means some how the internal was partitioned when the new load was being installed.. is there something i can do to have access of whole drive save stock apps and rom.. let me know please.. I cant install the modem until i create space on the internal drive.. thanks again
You can flash from external as well. For formatting go to menu> settings> storage. You should find it there. Formatting will wipe everything off of your internal sd.

So im a rogers S3 user. I have a Sd card and internal storage of 16 gigs. currently I am running cyanogenmod...and for some reason I cannot view all the files of my internal storage. I keep moving pictures over to my SD card but not all pictures go nor do they even come off as what is being used in the internal storage. currently under miscellaneous there are 10 gigs of memory being used on what i do not know. any recommendations on how to lower this..should i just delete the entire miscellaneous and start new? its really confusing as I looked into my SD card and I had moved everything but i am not sure why the SD card is not showing all my pictures yet on my phone the pictures are somewhere yet i cannot see all of them from the internal storage either..any ideas?!
Well you can always transfer your stuff to a PC then go into recovery and make a nandroid. Then completely wipe everything, then restore your system

The thing is it looks like everything I save to sd is going to internal
Well just transfer everything you want from there onto your PC and wipe it all including your sd card if you have one. That's just what I would do I've never cared to mess around. I'll just wipe all then go from there, doesn't take long

Ok when I got my note 2 I formatted my sd card through the phone. I was using it with my Droid Charge. No problems. Now that its in my note2 every CWM backup I do doesnt go to sd it goes to phone.(or titanium) I went to filemanager and I cant move the back ups to sd card. So my question is.. did I format sd incorrectly? Meaning I shouldve used PC or am I just missing something? I dont have a card reader and its a 32 gb sandisk.(rooted and stock) any help is appreciated. Thanks

When you are in CWM are you choosing to back up to external sdcard or just backup?

You can try formatting the memory card by connecting your phone in 'USB storage' to PC and format by PC and then repeat the process.
Hope it has works for you
