THL W200 issue?

[deksman2]

Actually, I tried my hand at storing ROM's on the external SD and then installing them via CWM (I also tried to backup my ROM at the external SD), but at the time I got an error on both occasions which stated that the external SD cannot be mounted - that was the problem (the inability to mount the external SD card in CWM - otherwise the card worked fine in Android itself).

I decided to postpone new ROM installations just in case because I didn't want to end up bricking the phone without a 'safety net'.

The problem persisted on both CWM and TWRP until yesterday (when I changed the partition on the external microSD in MiniTool to 'Primary' - which is when I was able to mount the card without problems in both CWM and TWRP).

Now that I was able to get the external SD card mounted in CWM and TWRP, I can focus on trying some ROM's, etc.

I was able to install Gravity Box which fixed the Developer Options not displaying all settings (which seems to be a common problem with MTK devices) - but I needed the ability to mount the external SD in CWM so I can backup my ROM to it before installing Xposed Installer (which was reported as being able to break some devices - so I didn't want to risk it).
I didn't want to cram stuff up on my internal storage only to end up deleting something that I wasn't supposed to.
