I just bought a T959 off of ebay. It came with Bionix-v 1.2 and I was trying to upgrade it to Bionix-NextGen-V2 using CWM.
I have the Bionix-NextGen-V2.zip on my external microSD. I can't seem to access the external microSD to select it via CWM.
Am I supposed to flash it from the internal flash memory? I don't think I have done that with my other Android phones... If so, will that cause any problems with wiping data off the phone?
Thanks for any help!
Yes with regular CWM it needs to be on the internal sd. Eugene has a kernel that can access the external sd but installing that kernel then flashing from your exteral sd would be much more cumbersome than just moving the rom to the internal sd to flash.
Cool... thanks.
Flashing now...

Hey just picked up a a500 with android 3.2 on it. I don't have an sd card nor do I really want to buy one since I have the 32gb model and really don't need the extra space. I'm wondering if after I root my tablet. Can I flash a new rom onto it without an external sd card.
Thanks,
Chad
Yes, once you are rooted and have the newer version of cwm installed you will be able to use internal memory as an option in recovery. The problem is, I believe the version of cwm that installs with the acer recovery installer does not support the internal sd so you will have to borrow a microsd card to root and install the upgraded recovery. You can always use the one from your phone.
You can also use a USB Memory stick....
For some strange reason My external Sd card does not show up in the cwm Recovery. The Sd card is fine, it worked on my S2 Fine but for some reason its not working on the cwm Recovery. Currently running Stock Tmobile 4.0.4. Cwm 5.8.4.7. I am able to see my phones internal sd files, just the external sd appears to be missing. i have also tried mounting the external sd but have been unsuccessful. any help?

Anything newer than 5.8.4.5 isn't seeing the sd card on the AT&T version. I doubt yours is any different. You can download what you need here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
What's currently the best recovery that can access both the internal storage and external SD Card?

I'm using the TWRP version installed via GooManager and it does support both internal and external memory.
You can read/write nandroid backup from/to both memory as well as install new ROM from the 2 mem.
I have not been able to share the internal/external memory to my PC via USB cable while I'm in recovery mode.
It's probably a driver issue on the PC side, I have not investigated too much this issue since I can easily get around it.
I've been stuck on some extremely old CWM that I installed from rooting months ago so thank you!
Is it possible when you make as cars as internal storage would you be able to flash ROMs or will it brick the phone?
Using the latest TWRP (3.0.0.0) you should be able to flash roms from your sd card being used as internal storage, it also prevents you from losing access to the sd card after you flash a new rom (I use my sd card for internal storage as well). I havent tried flashing anything from it, but I cant think of a reason it wouldn't work.

Guys please I need help. I am with an unofficial CM13 rom. Everything was fine until trying to flash Xposed I realized that my recovery can't mount the SD I have earlier formatted as internal. Wanted marshmallow so much especially because of that SD adoption. But didn't know that will make unable to use my custom recovery after that. Any suggestions?

You can always reformat your SD...
Formatting SD as internal in MM will cause that you can just use the SD Card on Android 6 as Internal. Recovery wont recognize, that its an SD Card. You could reformat SD as external again and than you should be able to use SD Card in recovery again. But I guess that shouldnt be a problem bec you can flash files from internal (which is also ur SD Card) too.
