Is there currently a custom recovery and root that support external SD Cards? The only one i've found thus far is TWRP and it openly states it doesn't currently support external sd cards. Was just wondering if there's anything out there that does support it.

I have an unlocked edition that I changed the CId to dev edition in. Either way, they're the same phone, one just comes factory unlocked and one doesn't.
I have TWRP and have made 4 or 5 backups to my external SD card, as well as installed several apps through my external SD card on TWRP. It works. Just make sure you have v 2.7.x.x.

I tried to flash the recovery but i get the message:

I renamed the TWRP disc image into recovery.img
The command is wrong.

It can see CM 12 backup because I have put them into the zip file. So when u flash the zip the backup will automatically extract to correct DIR...
That dual boot system different. That was have only one system partition. And My one have 3 new partitions. On that system I tried lot of times. But sometimes not get worked. I don't know why... Maybe my fault. I have tried CM 12 on that. On that u said guide I cannot switch back to other rom after installing the CM12 untill format the system... My one have New recovery. So Your phone will get two recovery modes. And much more...
That's why my Dual Boot system was different from that guide.

Oh for gods sake..everyone now a days is the XDA police. Why dont you let the moderators decide why the thread is here and not there?
Why not just thank a developer for doing something that you neither have inclination nor the calibre or the talent to do or understand. Why not just say "OK cool...dual boot system...nice..I'll try it out..maybe I'll see something different from the 'thread already posted there'" instead of *****ing about it and asking for explanations like you own this forum!

Yes We can install any... But if you flash any New Rom as Second rom Please remember to change the Updater Script Partition paths and partition paths of boot.img of new ROM...
Table will be Like this
Second Rom System Partition = mmcblk0p30
Second Rom Data Partition = mmcblk1p2
Second Rom Cache Parition = mmcblk1p3

Just a guess but I would try flashing that https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550733 rename to '0PJAIMG.ZIP' and place on sd card and try and flash from download mode.
Try and update once installed, it may well wipe your device!

those are the steps
rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.
Can't be exact right now, in bed about to go to sleep lol, I presume you know how to get into download mode, not recovery. If the file is located in the sdcard at root it should commence flashing if named as I said before. Good luck.

Are you putting the file on the Ex SDcard ? and is it the correct name ? and is it a fat 32 card ?
sd not mounted = wrong file name or not fat 32
here just use the RUU EXE much easier

be aware all these will wipe your internal storage
Is it formatted and named correctly as stated.

I've recently updated my htc 10 to Android 7.0 using the 2.38.617.6 firmware and added twrp to use for backup purposes. I have attempted to root the device with chainfire's supersu, but failed due to data being in the wrong format.
First off, I managed to find out the the system partition is ridiculously large (17,592,186,044,365 MB) leading me to believe that the system partition has been corrupted.
I've checked the format type for each partition (data, system and cache) they check out to be ext4.
As the title of the post states, I've also ran into that problem before the system partition size issue.
Also, when trying to reboot the system through twrp, I get the message, "No OS Installed! Are you sure you..." but the phone boots up just fine.
Any help is appreciated.
ensure you flashed the latest unoffical twrp from the xda twrp thread. not the official one.

I have fixed the issue. I had to find and flash the latest ruu because I had restore the /data partition from when I had the phone rooted and downloaded xposed. I ran through the same process after the flash without restoring the data partition and now it work.
Only downside is that I can't restore my data until xposed has a compatible framework. Thanks for replying.
I got a clean backup of the twrp formatted the sd card with external memory I mounted the backup in the external sd and restored the system .... With that I was successful:dedos cruzados::dedos cruzados:
Hi everyone i have an A7 2017 model A720F
AND ITS BROKEN BUT it can still run twrp and nothing else
if it is possible for someone have the same model to backup all his partions [BOOT/SYSTEM/DATA/EFS/VENDOR(if exist)/CACHE...] and uploaded them
i would be grateful thanks a lot.
Instead of restoring a backup from someone else (which is generally a bad idea) it would be better to just download any custom ROM and flash that instead.

I've done all of that,
all i have to do now is a twrp restorationmaybe it will help restore the corruped partitions.
If you have an A720F can you perform a twrp backup to all partitions and upload them if possible
If you access to recovery mode use "Repartition tool for A5 and A7 2017" script 2 times to format your partitions (second time for come back to normal partition mode).
