I just purchased a 16GB micro SDHD card to put in my TF. Currently i'm running prime v1.5. I've formatted the micro sd card to FAT32 file system. When I insert it directly into the TF (not the dock) the TF recognizes and prepares the micro SDHD card when booted in the Android OS. I ran titanium backup and pointed the backup directory to my removable storage card. The process completed successfully.
Now the problem i'm having is getting CWM to successfully mount the removable storage card so I can run a nandroid backup. When I try to mount the card it simply gives me an error saying cannot mount sdcard. Is there something I need to do to get this to work? Any help is greatly appreciated.
bump - can anyone offer some advice on how to get this working?
The only thing you can do, it's change the sd.
I have the same problem and the only solution it's to use a 2gb old sd that works in cmw, so i can do a nandbackup and restore and the 16gb sd for anything else...

really? so 16GB cards dont work in CWM for anything? Just the smaller cards is all? Nobody on this forum has gotten a 16gb to work yet? I'll await a few more replies, if no solutions then off to Fry's to get another msdhd card, 2GB that is.

No, 16gb cards works on cmw, but not all the sdcards...
You aren't lucky, only this.
I have bought another 16gb in class 10 that works perfectly with cmw.
But the solution don't change, the problem is the sd, not the program, sorry for you
my 16gb works with CWM.

My Sandisk 32GB Class 10 works as well. (In case you're shopping for a new one.)
Have you tried booting into recovery mode without the MicroSD card inserted and then inserting and tried mounting once CWM has been loaded?
Ive a 16GB MicroSD from Toshiba which will only mount in CWM on my HTC Desire HD inif it's not present when CWM starts but will mount 100% of the time if I do the above.
In my TF I use a 32GB Lexar MicroSD this works fine for reference.

Hi there everyone, I just picked up my Transformer today, and while Im not new to the whole flashing business (done it lots on my Galaxy S) I cant seem to get this working on the tablet. Ive managed to get it rooted and CWM loaded, but every time I try to flash a zip from my sd card its lot letting me mount the sd card.
Was hoping someone would be able to help me out
CWM only read files from the Removable micro sd card and not internal sd card.
Also the removable micro sd need to be in a fat32 format

Are certain microSD cards not compatible? I've currently got one in FAT32 format and it cannot read that either.
Some people have reported problems with using a MicroSD when formatted as Fat32 through windows. Try using an SD card formatting tool. Apparently when formatting an SD Card through windows it doesn't format it correctly.
Also some people say they had to try a few card before one could be read.
Suddenly, my 32gb Sandisk microsd is not reading on either my phone or the card reader of my PC. I was doing a nandroid in TWRP. It finished, but, after reboot...nada. It's like the card isn't there. Is there anything I can do? I have a lot of pics on the card I definitely want. The other stuff, not such a big deal.
From what I've been able to search and find, I don't think there is a software solution here. Any weird tricks I can try? Thank you.

Where you trying to parttion the sd card using CWM recovery or were you just making a nandroid backup ? If you want to partition the sd card its better to use a software on pc than using CWM recovey since CWM is known to have bugs in the past.
I would advise you to download a partitioning software called minitool (free version available) from the internet and install it on the pc.
Then insert the sd card in the card reader and plug it to the pc. Now run minitool and if it detects your sd card repartition and format it.
If it doesn't then it is possible that the sd card is damaged. When you buy a new sd card try to partition it with minitool because it is far more reliable.:good:

Hello guys
I need help with this problem. Recently I bought a 64 GB sd card. When inserted the SD card into the tablet, it tells me that i have to format. When I tell it to format, it does nothing but get stuck at "Unmounting SD Card". I then inserted the sd card into a reader and connected the reader to the my PC. I formatted the SD card with SDFormatter 4. Once the formatting(Overwrite) was done, I then stuck the SD card into my tablet again. Still didnt want to mount the card and requires to format it.
Any one know the problem? And know how to fix it?

There is quite a bit of discussion on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611681
Post #106 on this thread explains why Sandisk class 10 cards have trouble while the class 6 cards behave. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=11
Is there any other formatting software that will allow me to change the SD card from exFAT to FAT32?

Which card do you have? Sandisk or other? Class 10, class 6, or?
I went through two class 10 cards before I got a class 6 card. I formatted the class 6 card with "FAT32 Formatter" from Ridgecrop and that one has been in use since October of last year.

I got the same error in the past with a PNY 32Gb Class 6, the solution, find a Camera which supports SD (use an adapter) and format the SD from there and Voila!! SD Fixed

Interesting - I assume you're running an MTN GT7+... Does it recognize the entire 64GB as usable? (Just curiosity; I really don't need anything bigger than a few GB in my P6210.)

I found a less drastic solution tucked in the VZW S3 section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
So I was able to format the 64GB SD card as internal storage and it now appears under the Storage menu. However, whenever I connect my phone to the PC to transfer some files to it, I can only see the main memory and not the extra space. So what is the benefit of doing the above if I am not able to use this additional space for files management and media storage?
Anyway I can solve that?
You may have not installed the correct/latest driver. I actually just tried this for the first time and it's the opposite. I could see my 64 GB microSD card, but not the internal storage (and yes, I did format it as internal).
the same for me, i can format like sd card , when I formated like internal storage , display me a warning (slow card) if I wish to continue, I said yes and then tell me damage SD Card .... any help please!!! sorry about my english....
my card is a SanDisk 32gb microSDHC UHS-I Class 10
I have 65 gig formatted as internal on my PC it shows as 80 gig well 74 gig really I also tried 64 gig SD card bought from eBay and told me card corrupt and ended up buying one from reputable company locally and works flawlessly

I had the same issue when I was rooted with S-ON. I have now gone back to stock and all seems to be working fine. Think it's got something to do with security/encryption maybe, I could be wrong but just a thought.

ok... I have root and s-on.... then thats the problem.... thanks....
btw if anyone advanced user have the solution... please.... thanks...
Maybe it's normal
I think it's normal. My unrooted A9 has an SD card formatted as internal storage too. When it's connected to a PC, only "Internal Storage" will be shown because it's merged by the device's internal storage and the SD card together.
You can see the space of "Internal Storage". It should be around 16G/32G (internal) + 64G (SD card).
Hope the above helps.

After trying it a several times and restarting the phone, all I can get now is the internal storage of the memory card. The additional 16 GB of the phone's original memory don't even show
Same **** for me. But my internal shows up as 10 GB?
Hi Guys,
Just installed a brand new Sandisk Class 10 64Gb SDCard and it stuck on 20% for the last 15 minutes, tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the white HTC Splash screen, any ideas?

I ended up giving up and sticking to using my 64gb SD as internal storage
Yea I went root last night and notice i can no longer see my 32gb sandisk :/
and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

My coworker had that issue with his 64gb card. But my 32 and 128 worked fine. Try formatting the sd card as fat32 maybe, then attempting to have it "adopt"?

it is not clear yet because using a USB flash drive to 32GB everything works fine, and the phone does its system memory.
