[Q] Error flashing from ext SD - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone suggest why I get an error when I try to restore a Nandroid backup fron my ext SD card? If I copy the same backup file to the internal card and restore from there, there's no problem.
It's no big deal to always use the internal card but I would like to try to learn what's going on. The obvious answer is there's something wrong with the ext sd card but all other reading/writing operations to/from the card cause no problems.
I'm using the Ultimate JB XXLSC v5.1
Anyone got any experience to share about this problem?
Thanks in advance
Trevor

What's the error?

Thank you for replying.
It just says, "Error restoring backup..." and then goes back to the CWM menu. Not very helpful, I realise. I thought at first it was a corrupted backup file but it happened with older backups. Everything works fine hen the backup file is copied to int sd card.
It may be just a small bug in this ROM or some other glitch that could disappear with the next ROM upgrade. I'll keep monitoring. Meanwhile, I'll try re-formatting the ext sd card and see if that helps.

Yes was gonna say to reformat the sd and try again also check if the sd is mounted to the correct mount point.

Quick Question About Partitioning SD Card

This is the situation:
I had a message on my phone (G1) stating the SD Card was damaged and I may need to format. Long story short, I formatted the card. Before formatting I moved everything from my card to my desktop.
After formatting, I moved everything back to my card. I then partitioned my card. I tried to partition first but got fed up when I ran into problems attempting to do so. Now after rebooting I was able to see about 1/3 of the apps I downloaded (I had almost a hundred and change- 16g card).
So, the question is: Do I have to reformat the card, partition, then put the files back on the card? Basically do everything all over again. Or is there a way to "restore" all my apps somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Did you transfer you ext partition? If not then you are going to have to redownload and install everything cause you wiped your entire card losing your apps2sd links.

What exactly do you mean "transfer you ext partition"?
After messing around some more.......
I connected the usb to my computer, copied the "whole sd card" to my desktop, transferred everything back to my card after after wipe, format and everything.
Now when I go into a file manager, which I had to download again, I can see all the apps are on my card.
How do I get them in the "app tray or app launcher", I think it's called.
And when I go to settings, application whatchamacallit, I see my card is partitioned. I use Amon-Ra partitioning thing.

[Q] [SOLVED] Flashing rom from Internal SD

Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.
recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.
I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

[Q] Phone's been saving to "sd" folder is in internal storage

I have been experiencing a weird issue. For some reason, when I save something to what I want to be the sd card, my phone is mistaking my internal storage for an sd card. I first noticed that with titanium backup. I backed up everything in preparation to flash my first rom. But when I looked for the backup file on my sd card it was not there. When I went to flash similar problem. I noticed while in safestrap (ver 3.05) there was a folder "sdcard" but my rom was nowhere to be found. It was in "sdcard-ext". This seems to be persistent, because i had wiped cache and delvik, then factory reset, things still aren't saving to the sd, but to the internal storage.
Anyone experience something like this? I'm on .906 running minimoto if it helps.
My only thought is this is my second sd card, i used to have a 1gb my roommate found, but obviously that doesnt cut it, so i bought and now use a 32gb.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Sdcard-ext it your micro sdcard
SDCard is the internal memory
That's how it's supposed to be
Your data(internal memory) is in a separate partition at /data

Marshmallow SD card corrupted

I'm using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn't show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it's treated as internal memory I'm not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn't backup them. I'm bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support
Hey , are you using stock original rom of lenovo a7000?

Use a Sd adapter and see if your sd card has multiple partitions that could be one of the cause

it has only one partition FAT32. the problem only found in nougat rom like the new cusrom DOTOs. when i change back to MM like lineage 13 it works well
I think your sd card has multiple partitions too. Let's use Minitool partition wizard to delete a partition
