it doesn't matter, but you need an ext partition if you want to have app2sd.
So what should I do now ?
3.Go to "partitions menu", choose "mount USB storage" when i go there i have only unmount and go back
4.Upload rom and patches to sd-card, for example in a dir named "-install-"
5.When files are uploaded, unmount phone on your computer, click power to go back on phone
a make next step from instruction??
If you have backed up, you are ready to got for ROM Installation.
I prefer to copy the backup files on my pc to have them at 2 places.
The warning about ext partition is ok. There is no such partition on stock phones/sdcards. But ext partition is necessary if you planning to use App2sd.
But at your current point, you can ignore that warning.
Next step for you is to install the rom files+patches you copied to your sdcard.

all you have to do is, dl the rom and patches to your pc, mount your phone via usb normally and put them on your sd card. then reboot your phone into clockworkmod recovery, and do a full wipe, then go to install zip from sd card, and then flash the rom.

@kevin2516
the most easy way ive come across to load a rom! thanks, and appreciate ur contribution to noobs like us. could u shed some light on what is clockwork mod recovery (is it the manual mode to put it in recovery with "volumne down & power button"?) and how to change the clockwork mod recovery on a htc wildfire?

I (along with other people) find it weird that Asus chose to mount the sdcard to /Removable/MicroSD instead of the traditional /mnt/sdcard.
I would like Titanium Backup to store the files on my sdcard instead of the internal memory, but the problem is that TI only checks the /mnt/sdcard directory. So in my infinite geek knowledge I had the idea to symlink /Removable/MicroSD/TitaniumBackup to /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup. The problem is that FAT32 doesn't support symlinks, so I formatted the sdcard to NTFS and popped it back in but it wouldn't mount it, which I realized was because it doesn't have the NTFS modules. So I popped it back out and formatted it as ext2, but it still wouldn't mount automatically and I couldn't mount it manually because I didn't know what the device name was.
Anyone have any solutions?
You can try ask the developer of TitaniumBackup to include support for asus TF.
Obviously I already did that but I'm looking for a fix on my end.
As with most other tablets, the internal SD is mounted to mnt/sdcard so external SD has to be mounted elsewhere.
As far as TB goes, you can choose where to store backups. Have currently got it setup to backup to Removable/MicroSD/TitaniumBackup
EDIT: If you go into TB preferences menu, scroll down to Backup folder location, then press the Back icon (the system one) to get back to the root folder. Then you can choose the Removable/MicroSD/ folder. Click on "create a new folder", call it what you want, then open that folder. Click the "Use current folder" button and there you go...Backup folder on external SD!
Took me a while to realise that the back icon took you back up the folder tree, rather than closing the folder location window!
It would be nice if we could get a custom mount script or something that would mount the sdcard to something like /mnt/sdcard/music. I'd love to have my music synced to card and everything else stored internally...

Thanks! Thats what I needed to know, I was thinking its kind of stupid that they only have a "detect" button.

What? You're doing it backwards!
If TI is writing to /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup, but you want it to write to /Removable/MicroSD/TitaniumBackup instead, then /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup should be the symlink, pointing to a directory on the SD card!
The target's filesystem doesn't matter (fat32), only the source's (i.e. ext4 on the internal storage).
Good catch, either way it doesn't matter now because I don't need symlinks since I know how to do it in TB now.
alrright guys, i dont know what happened and it happens first time in my 4 years with android but when i installed CWM my sd got locked when i tried to open it up (to flash zip custom rom) and since then it doesnt unlock. doesnt format, although i can see the files in it and copy from it, but not write. Any ideas?
fix permissions might help i think... try go to advanced and fix permissions...
fix permissions in cwm? where is this option?>
it didnt help. Apparently in cwm it displays the option to delete some files from the card but as soon as click delete it freezes. Whats the hell, plz help
Mount the card on pc with an adapter, backup your files/folders, and then open windows partition manager, delete and recreate the fat32 partition.
when I back up it's placed in my internal memory
isn't it supposed to back up my system to my external card?? how do I fix this? Do I need to use another recovery?
I tried to look for my card using TWRP but I only see an empty folder named sd-ext but my sd card is called external_sd when using file manager
Is this normal for an A500?
Thanks in advance!

I really don't like necroing a thread, but this seems, too, relavent -- and someone may need an answer
I am using TWRP 2.1.3 right now (just installed it).
Apparently it places the backups on internal storage by default.
If you tap/select the 'mount' option on the main screen you can select that the sdcard be mounted.
You can also select whether to store backups on the internal storage or on the external card from here.
On the backup menu, you might need to tap/select 'refresh free space' or similar option.
Then select what you want to backup, and swipe to backup (as per on-screen instructions).
Hi
I have LineagosOS 17.1 installed on my N910F, and the directory (symlink) /sdcard points to /storage/emulated/0 whereas the sdcard files are in /storage/3839-3131
Is there any way to make /sdcard point to the right place ? or to fix this mess ?
thanks
Seems that sdcard is read only. Any idea?
When I run Titanium backup (I have root, TWRP and LineageOS 17) and go to Preferences > backup folder location, if I choose /storage/3839-3131/TitaniumBackup it says "the folder doesn't have write access"....
Can anyone help?
