If I'm looking to root and flash twrp to my phone, do I need an external sd card? I tried flashing twrp today, but it was not in the directory. Thanks.

I've tried 2 methods:
From Recovery mode, I select 'backup' and it says there is approx. 13GB space left on my card, which is correct. I then perform a backup - it takes about 5 or 6 minutes, then about 3 minutes into /data it just crashes out with an error.
From ROM Manager in my apps, I select backup (to external sd card) and it reboots into recovery, then fails after about 5 seconds saying it can't find the path.
Can anyone please advise what I might be doing wrong?
I've got about 3.9GB left on my internal card (it's a 16GB phone) and I've got 13GB available on my external card, so I don't think it's a space issue...
what error? what recovery? what file system?

Recovery is CWM-based recovery 5.5.0.4 - cf 1.5
I don't know about file system.
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Update your recovery. I advise using TWRP or PhilZ
Did you use a CF root zip? There's no CF root for i9305

I'm not sure what that is. I rooted my phone via the Toolbox version 7.0 which is stickied at the top of the i9305 forum. I can do everything else in there just fine (delete dalvik cache, install .zips from external or internal card, wipe battery stats, etc).
Ok then that's good.
As Gleburn said try TWRP or PhilZ Recovery.
I would recommend PhilZ as it is the one I am running and I've never had an issue. The last I heard TWRP had issues flashing vrthemes.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a go.
Well, well, well - I do believe it's worked!! (using Philz recovery)
Thanks again.

I have an old nexus one, which I'm trying to set up for my kids to play games on.
It's currently running cyanogenmod 7 and I tried to just to a factory reset, but it's now stuck in a boot loop.
I'm hoping to just download and flash a stock rom in the hopes of getting it working again. But the only way I've ever flashed it and the only instructions I can find all flash a zip from the sd card, but this phone no longer has an sd in it.
Does anyone have any advice on flashing without an sd?

Thanks, I'll look into that.

The only compatible recovery I can find is twrp, which constantly fails to do things because it's trying to mount an sd card that isn't there...

There's amonra clockwork and 4ext also, of hand not sure what has sideload functionality
Can you not borrow a sdcard for a bit and then return it?

ok guys this what happen.
i plan to refresh my phone. so i installed ARHD ROM with fullwipe, after that i formatted my internal storage thru TWRP.
after that, im stuck with the HTC Logo with the red warning.
i never thought that will happen since i installed the ROM.
i can still use the recovery TWRP but i cant do anything. the phone is totally useless.
i tried reinstalling in thru OTG by mounting it, but still to no avail. is there anyway i could fix this? i really need help.
my phone is running tha latest ARHD 52 (4.4.2)
i dont have any back up
If you can boot into twrp you can use ADB to push a rom to your internal storage then flash.
