accidentally erased all data on sd card

I was in the fastboot menu and deleted all my stuff and I was trying to fix a endless reboot loop so I can't get into it. I have a restore spot on my computer but don't know how to get onto the desire.

Take the card out of the phone, put it in a card reader, put the card reader in the computer, copy the backup to the card, take the card reader out, take card out and put out back in the phone.
If you don't have a card reader boot in to recovery, go to mount and mount the sd as mass storage. You obviously need a usb connection for this.

Yeah I figured it out and now I have it working. Thanks to all that helped

Search up EASEUS on Google. There should be a data recovery program on there which should help you restore erased item's.

SD Card Missing

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.

Found!!!
Copy your all data from SD card.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
This will delete all your old partitions from SD card.
Now reboot in CWM recovery and partition your SD card according to your need.
Restore your data.
Cheers!!!

[Q] No Data in SD card in Recovery

My SD card is not showing up in recovery. There is data on the card. When I go to external_sd the folder is empty. My recovery loads to /sdcard. I'm running TWRP v.2.8.3.0
Any help would be great.

Nevermind I'm stupid. I forgot to partition my SD cards after I formatted it.

SD Card, TWRP and Windows 7

My Tab S is wiped clean, has no firmware, except TWRP.
I am trying to use an SD Card to install ROMs from it.
I am formatting the SD Card in Windows 7, copy the necessary zip files into it, insert it into the Tab S, reboot into recovery. I have tried FAT32 and exFAT.
No matter which format type I try, TWRP does not see" the SD Card.
Can someone please tell me what's happening and how I can get TWRP to "see" my SD Card?
PS I have tried 3 different SD Cards to make sure.

Try another sd card. That might help

You need to select whether you want to use internal storage or Microsd card first.
Look under MOUNT.
