[SOLVED][Q] TWRP not detecting micro SD card - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a problem backing up my rom on TWRP, I only have 1 GB of available space (4 GB max) and the backup is 4 Gb in size. I want to backup to my external SD card which has 12 GB of free space. But when I try to select a different storage, the SD won't show up.
All I see is internal (1 GB Free) and SD card (1 GB free). I see the same thing with two other SD cards I've tried.
The first card is a 32 GB UHS-l class 10, second is a 16 GB UHS-l class 10, and the third card is a 16 GB SDHC class 10 (Fat32)
Im not sure what format the first two cards are.
There's no hope for using a flash drive either, since there's no OTG support on Tab 4.
Help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Flashing the latest TWRP (2.8) via Odin did the trick. Now I can use my SD card for backup. I was on TWRP 2.7 before.

Question about switching sd cards... (cyanogenmod rom)

Ok so I have a mt3g rooted with the latest stable cyanogenmod (6.0 I believe). I currently have a 4gb card in it class 4. I do not use apps2sd, but I do use the install apps to sd feature. The whole sd card is formatted to fat32. I just ordered a 8gb card class 6 online to replace the 4gb I have now since it is becoming full. My question is, can I simply move the data (copy & paste) from the 4gb to the 8gb? Or is there something else I would have to do? Thanks.

[Q] SD Card Space

My nook has 7.0.3 encore stable, 4 GB card, and I was wondering if there was a way to increase the SD card space in Android to greater than 39 MB.
On my computer, I did extend the partition, but the extended area shows up as the internal storage, and I need the SD card space for some apps.
thanks
R u running CM7 from eMMC or booting it off uSD?
Do pls indicate clearly
I am booting CM7 off of the uSD card
If so, you should have at least 110MB+ space on "boot", roughly about 1GB for /data and /system and the rest, probably 2GB+ left over, for your own use.
Use a tool such as Minitool Partition Wizard, to extend the 4th partition on your SD card all the way to the max. You should get roughly over 3 GB of space on a 4GB card when running off uSD.
what I'm talking about is the "virtual" SD card that android recognizes. I did extend the fourth partition, but the space for my stuff goes under internal storage. is there a way I can make some of that space go under SD card that android recognizes?
did you ever get an answer or figure this out? I have been searching for 2 days and cannot find info on which partition CM7 thinks is "the phone" for the purpose of installing apps. I get 2-3 on then it says I am out of space.
Yes, when I used a 32 gB card, the internal storgae partition was about one gb, and my SD card partition (inside android) was 28 gb
So I guess it would depend on the sizeof your SD card?
Thanks for this thread guys!!
Minitool partition allowed me to upgrade my 8Gb microSD to at 32Gb microSD.
Now I can REALLY load those PDFs, ebooks, and music onto my Nookcolor's Android C7.

Maximum SD Size

I'm sure this has been asked before.. but if you are running 2.3 or higher.. what is the maximum SD card the phone can take?
I believe a 64 GB card has been reported to work. As my largest is a 16 GB SD card, I can't confirm for sure.

In the original manual I have for the phone says that 32 Gb is the maximum. At the store when I bought it told me to use 16 (as I am) to avoid having a slow phone.

i have a 32 gb card. the issue is that I think Fat32 can only support up to 32 GB.
can you have an ext2 formatted SD card working in the Dinc?
I just tried putting in an 8gb SD that I had reformatted to ext2, the phone doesn't want to mount it. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this or not. I've been able to use the Easeus Partition Master to reformat a 500gb hard drive in fat32, so that will probably be able to format a 64gb card in a fat32 partition so it can work in a phone. Won't know for sure until someone with a 64gb card can try it though.

Click to expand...

It appears your ext2 question is answered below but as for the size limit of FAT32, it's much larger than 32 GB. The largest a file on FAT32 can grow is 4 GB though.
It looks like FAT32 can run 2TB drives so there's no problem there.

cannot move more than a few apps to sd card? out of space?

Ok, I am pulling my hair out. I only have about a gig of internal space left. I put in a few different SD cards... two are 32 GB and one is 64 GB. I can only move a few apps to the SD Card and then I get a message stating "Not enough storage space." I know I'm not out of space. I only moved a few apps. I check anyways. Still shows there's over 30 GB of the 32 GB card free. I've swapped out the card. I have 3 of them. All are doing the same thing. I just went to the extreme earlier. I rooted the tab A (It wasn't rooted earlier today and I've been having this problem for 2 days.) I then tried to use link2sd and same exact problem. I have the 2 partitions. Both are fat32. One is 31 GB and second is 1 GB. I'll link a few apps over. Then I'll get the same error. "Not enough storage space." Well, apps2sd gives a slightly different error... "Unable to copy Data. No space left on destination." Opening a drive free space app, it shows I have 28.57 GB of 28.69 GB free.
Why are you partitioning the sdcard with 2 FAT32 partitions, in particular 1gb?
When usink link2sd You should be using exFAT for the second partition and the first should be ext 2,3 or 4. Recommended ext2.
I'm also confused how you can possibly have a 31gb and 1gb partition on a 32gb sd card that will only yield 29gb at best.
Rather than link2sd maybe you should consider adoptable storage.
