TWRP cant see external SD card - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Bricked Micro SD Card

Last night I went to flash a new ROM and first made a nandroid on the external SD card as I always do. I then cleared cache, dalvik system wipe and cleaned out the old ROM to start fresh and clean. The battery then fell out and I was unable to get the phone to see the external SD card (no ROM installed) and I wasn't able to install the new ROM via internal as there was no way to load a ROM onto internal memory. I eventually found a stock ROM and flashed it through ODIN. The phone is up and working 100% today; however with the process of the battery falling out/reboot now windows NOR the phone can discover the 16GB SandDisk card with all of my pics/videos/files and most importantly the NANDROID backup. I have other micro SD cards and readers and have tried them in the phone and my CPU without trouble... SO what can I do to "unbrick" that SD card... what did I do with my S3 that bricked the mircro SD card in the first place?
TIA

That has happened to me when i had my evo OG and only solution was to get another sd card. .

Formated SD card through TWRP Recovery

I have a small problem
I formated my internal SD card using twrp and now it only thinks that it has only 2 GB on the SD card (but it really has 16gb)
Because of that I can't make any backups, is there any fix or I wasn't supposed to format the SD through recovery?
It seems formating the SD card through the phones format setting worked

[D855] SD Broken?!? [SOLVED]

Hi everyone!
I upgraded to CM 13, big problem was the fact that my Samsung Evo 64 GB SD card was not usable as internal storage or external. I entered recovery mode and wiped all to install Cloudy 2.5. I have an issue now, the sd card is not formatted in its own original filesystem, and after i tried to change it to exFat or ext4 it shows me a 15mb sd card, rather then a 64 GB one.
How do I fix this?
You can take your micro SD card, put it in the adapter and then plug it to your computer.
After that you can take a software like "minitool partition wizard" and use it to format the micro SD card.
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard
3. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat)
4. Place SD card into phone
5. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
6. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
7. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT

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.
