First time flashing rom and little apprehensive. I have AT&T note 2 i317 rooted last week running stock 4.4.2 and NE5 bootloader. I have downloaded TWRP 2.8.0.0. Also downloaded DN3 to external SD card. It seems that TWRP is not able to read the external SD card. I saw the video and it tells me to wipe my internal SD card so I can't put DN3 over there as it will wipe it. I have enough space to put it on internal SD card. My question is that how do I put it on internal SD card after I wipe it completely and second questions is do NE5 bootloader will create any problem. Any special precautions I should take. Thank you very much for your replies. Still learning the ropes but very excited too.
When you select the mount option in TWRP is your external SD card checked? I'm on 2.8.0.1 with a 64gb exfat SanDisk with no issues. I have never wiped my internal storage flashing any ROM so I honestly don't see that being necessary but in TWRP you can select the mount menu then MTP and should be able to copy files to your storage while connected to your computer this way. I don't believe the bootloader causes any issues other than Knox void and unable to downgrade it.

In cwm, go to mounts and mount external SD card.

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

Thanks guys for the help i do notice i have ver. 5.8.4.9. I did go to mounts and mount external sd card and it showed the roms i have on it.
Hey everyone. Got an annoying problem.
So I just tried to install a ROM, downloaded the file onto my SD card. Went into recovery. I didn't see my external SD card under Install from ZIP
Usually I see install from SD card and install from external SD card.
I went into mounts to try to see if I could mount it. External_SD was able to be mounted but when I tried to mount SD card it wouldn't mount.
I also had a weird problem in the ROM itself. I couldn't see my external_sd card folder no more. When I go into a TW based ROM and select My Files from the app drawer, it shows the sd card and the ext_sdcard. But when I go into Root explorer, there used to be a folder in the root directory for ext_sdcard. Its not there anymore. I went into mnt/ and saw it there.
Did something happen to my recovery? I flashed CWM to the latest version and confirmed MD5.
Any help would be appreciated. I rather flash and save my ROM filed in my SD card and not internal memory.
Newest CWM Doesnt access the ext sd card. he said on his twitter he plans to fix it.

correct, for now all flashing to be done through internal memory only.

TeamEPIC's recovery does access both. I've been using it. Trying another one as well just to see.
Thanks everyone. Thought I was going crazy.
TWRP for the win!
Do you know if your SD card is still good (or going bad)? It's a reasonably obvious question, but I had 2 SanDisk 32 GB cards go bad on me so I know the frustration. The /mnt/extSdCard in Root Explorer is a little misleading, I can create empty files in there without actually having a card in the slot. Something I discovered when I was troubleshooting my bad cards. Just a thought.
I rooted and unlocked my device using Freegee and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0.then i copied the rom zip to external sd card and booted in to recovery.then i advanced format to format everything including internal storage,now i don't have any rom and TWRP is not showing my external sd card which still has rom file.
I inserted that sd card in to my another phone(HTC explorer) and and booted in to TWRP recovery and there recovery detects my card but not when i insert it in to OGP.
Now i don't have any ROM ,please somebody tell me how to mount SDcard or how to push file to the internal storage.
thank you.
EDITk fixed.moved file to internal using ADB and it worked.still i don't understand why it won't detect my external SD card.thank you.

I'm having the same issue, too. I just installed TWRP thru FreeGee...waiting for fix on this issue myself.
selling my G3, first formatted my 32GB external SD card (to Fat32), and then went into TWRP 2.8.6.0 to do a factory reset.
then removed the external SD and copied the CloudyRom.zip on it.
when i boot back into TWRP, i can see my internal SD card is wiped as needed, but TWRP won't recognise my external SD with the rom zip i need to flash.
how do i get TWRP to recognise my external SD or how do i get cloudyrom back on the phone again..#
any help is much appreciated!
Been long time since I messed with my tablet the sd card reader is broken inside. Have twrp recovery but no back up. Can I flash stock update in twrp or roms
Yes, flash from internal memory is possible.
