Look for a tool called MiniTool Partition Wizard. It's free, with it you have more formatting options and can check the health of the card.
CWM probably formats to a file system that your laptop can't read. Does the laptop run Windows? Try plugging it into a Linux system.
yes it's windows 7, but i've got linux on a virtual machine

Like I said, look for Partition Wizard. Free DL. But also plug it into the Linux VM...see if a bit of magic happens
Post the results. You've sparked my interest
ok installed minitool partition & it says bad disk, & the linux VM would'nt read it either. That sucks now i need a new SD card & i'm so glad that 32gb cards are cheap (sarcasim) LOL.

Hmm. I was hoping that wasn't the case, but in the minitool, there is a repair function.
I was playing around with ICS on a USB stick and fried it last week, and got the same...red dots everywhere, "your USB has screwed the pooch"...but I ran some repair job with minitool, and got it healthy again.
Try it a bit more, before you drop loot on a new card.
Good luck!
I tried that but no luck i'll keep messing with it, I mean the damn thing cost me 75.00 $ so i would very much like to get it work, just makes me wonder why did clockwork mess up my SD card ? I got it to mount only 1 time & it said that there was only 3.54gb & then it wouldn't read it ever again.

Tried repartitioning?
Worst case, scenario...buy one from Best Buy, repack this one in the packing and say, "Uh, I dunno what happened. It just doesn't work. Now gimme my money back, I dunno if I can trust a brand that sells faulty equipment that fails on first use.".
EDIT: Never claimed this strategy was moral or legal, but for any stone-casters, religious zealots, overly pious finger-pointers, preists, rabbis, Mr. Jesus Christ himself, or any others who generally haven't ever committed sin or been exposed to it...

Yea cuz that's totally not immoral and illegal.
If you can somehow get your phone to recognize it then reformat it via the phone's menu not CWM. CWM isn't really optimized for our device so there may be things that don't work properly. And the fact that it read 3.54GB is interesting because I once had a 4GB micro sdcard that got corrupted and only showed as a 2GB micro sdcard. All I had to do was format it using windows built-in format tool though and it fixed it. What are you trying to format it as anyways? Fat32?

Whew! Thanks!!
I edited my post.
I've tried it all & nothing will format it, My laptop says the drive is use by another program but it's not, & i tell i to format anyway & it says windows was unable to format the drive. I'm gonna try the minitool again & see what happens.
EDIT: I've been messing around with the minitool & when i put the SDHC card in my laptop it says unallocted so i do that & it says unformatted, then i format it & it always says BAD DISK, but if i pull it out of my PC & stick it back in it's the same process over again ? Why wouldn't it just say it's a bad disk again instesd of giving me false hope LOL
EDIT: I've been givin a new program to try i will post the results.Well here is the link to another SD card formatting program http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html maybe it will help someone else.

Hello i have one problem ... i have 16gb micro sd card and i cant format it .. if i format in pc .. all files is gone .. but if i take it in mobile(htchd2) all deleted files are back ... i cant copy anything or delete .. if format in mobile .. says cant delete ... unable to complete ...
please for answer how to result it ... thx for help
(sorry for bad english)
Seems like the format does not turn out very well. Please tell me, what file system are you formatting to? And are you sure your phone does support 16GB micro sd cards? If all else fails you could try a third party partition manager (Partition magic, acronis) to format the card. Even better would be to format it using linux, this works most of the time.
in pc i have win 7 ... formating (think FAT32) and i was use that card before im usin it about 1year ... in that time is everything ok ... but now i cant format ... (my phone support 32gb cards.) its HTC hD2 ( something info about phone ..) SPL 2,08 hspl 8g xe ... i before used AMandroid 2.3.4 cyan...
hmm ok, I suggest you try to use partition magic (you can find it using torrent networks etc. like thepiratebay.org). For some reason your pc just does not format it correctly which is highly unusual. So, in conclusion, if your pc and your phone do not want to format it like it's supposed to. Try using some third party software.
Also, isn't it sufficient to just delete all the files on the card? If so, use your phone to do this, it might also work and it would be the easiest option.
i try many programs ... but dont any effect ... and i try delete by ... MAGLDR v1.13 but nothing ... card maybe locked... ?? it is?? i try next day unlock it by reduction or i buy new card .... its esiest way .. to result it ...

Warez isn't tolerated here.
You can try and delete the partition in windows disk management. Right click my computer, manage. If you still have issues it's almost certainly a duff card.

Bump for this
I am having the same problem. I have a 32gb micro sd card that Im trying to use but I cant delete anything off of it or put any files on it. When I do try to delete items, it takes the time to delete the files and then removes them from the list, but when the card is put back into my phone the files are still there.This is also the case when I try to add music. The computer will take time to write the files, but in the end no new files are created
I have tried using windows to format it as well as SanDisks formatter. I also did a check disk in windows command prompt but no errors were returned.
It should also be noted that when I tried to reformat with Sandisks reformatter, I was using the adapter in my sd card slot and it said that the card was locked and to slide the switch. I tried it with a different card reader and the same error occurred. when I put the card into the phone it was "able to" reformat it. but the same problem is occurring.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
stupid questioN; but do you have activated some kind of write protection? ^^

The file format in order for the Samsung to read it must be Fat32, it's not the most efficient file partition setup, however Samsung does not read anything other than that right now, the card is probably formatted in some other type of format like NTFS. Search on the Samsung S3, using "Format SD Card", or something with SD Format in the search and you will find there are a bunch of apps for formatting the card for the Samsung.
Hope this helps

Completely untrue (it has to be FAT32 for CWM to read it, but not for the phone).
I porposefully DO NOT format my 64 gig cards to FAT32 as I have movie rips that are over 4 gigs & FAT32 will not allow over a 4 gig file size.
I have two 64 gig cards & both work fine just as they came out of the box.

so, why isnt vista recognizing my card? I also just noticed something as well..vista has started seeing the card but under computer settings it says ricoh sd device, but my other micro sd cards says secure digital storage device. I may have messed this card up popping it in and out of every device i could find..lol
update: I put it in my rezound and wiped the micro sdcard and i think thats why its saying ricoh storage device instead of secured digital storage device..If so will it harm or diminish the performance of the card?

Don't worry dude. I got a bad one myself. Got halfway through transferring all my data and then the card stopped transferring and hasn't worked since. Tried to nuke and boot it, HP format tool, fedora Linux, two different phones and nothing.
I just called and they are shipping me a new one. Since it will be a couple days I might mess with this one just hoping.
Edit: Something that shouldn't have changed anything. I put it in my htc rezound with amon ra, did usb toggle mode, and formatted, and it worked fine....stupid!

exfat is not compatible with cwm recovery...if you plan on running any rom other than stock, you will need to format as fat32.

I think It may be PC related..
1. formatted it in phone which gave me 59.4gb
2. put in my gf laptop which has windows 7, then downloaded easeus and formatted the 59.4gb it gave me to fat32
3. put the card in my laptop which has vista and it asked me to format it before use(but i didnt)
4. put it in my galaxy s3 rebooted to recovery twrp and it recognize the card...
So would you say its pc related?

Yep sounds like another reason why i hate vista lol.
So I've been looking around for help on this across various sites and I've had no luck fixing my problem.
I'm running the most recent CM10 nightlies, which I read might influence which formats the phone can read, and even after I formatted the card to FAT32 via the gui app and easeUS partition editor my phone still says my card is damaged. When I try to format it it just says "unmounting card" with the spinning circle and sits there, never unmounting and formatting like it wants to. I tried to mount/unmount and format in CWM, no dice. This card is brand new out of the package today so there's been no previous use or problems.
Am I just going to be unable to use this card while running CM10, would I have to go back to a TW ROM or stock to make it read correctly? It will show up on my computer when I plug it in and files transfer to it fine so I figure it's a problem on the phone's side. My old 16gb card from my DX works fine and that's what I'll use in the meantime but the space is dangerously low, hence why I jumped on this 64gb card when it was an Amazon deal.
If anyone has some insight or experience with this I'd really appreciate it, I'm guessing it's a problem with CM10 or I missed some tiny step somewhere but I've tried a lot and had no success.

What exactly is the partition editor you used, and why? The GUI program to format it to fat32 is sufficient...
I would guess either it's the card(what brand btw?) or the partition editor.

I used EaseUS Partition Master as well as the fat32 gui program that's been circulating, sounds like you know the one, and while the format was successful the phone still sees the card as damaged and won't completely unmount the card when I try to format it like it says.

Ah ok, looks like I'll have to buy an sd-usb plugin then.
Had the same issue on two different cards and eventually they said that they were an unsupported raw format. Called sandisk and they said there are a lot of issues with the 64gb class 10 cards and the SGSIII. I am on my third one. This one has been working almost perfectly. I often get a unmounting remounting issue with the card, but I am not blaming the card yet as ever since I flashed the cracked aboot I have been having odd issues. I am going to put my phone back to stock and start over here today or tomorrow.

I bought a multi-SD plug-in with USB, slid my card in there, ran the gui on the card, put the card back in my phone and it worked fine, the phone recognizes it. For whatever reason the card didn't want to format while it was in the phone despite my manipulations, so plugging the SD into the computer is crucial I think.
Thanks for the support guys.
I have done everything described here, and still have what the OP says. Card is not recognized, like its not even plugged in to the phone, is formatted as FAT32 and works in windows.

Well, I literally fought this for 3 hours, and finally I just deleted the entire partition and formatted the card in the stock ROM. Then I pulled the card and formatted with EaseUS partitioner as FAT32 and put it back in and it worked. Then I flashed back to CM10 and it still works.
How frustrating this is....
Hi Guys, I did a stupid thing last night and unplugged my SD card from the computer whilst wiping data on the card as it took ages to progress and I thought the application hung up. The sd card does appear mounted on the computer with the adapter but cannot access it. I used the following program to wipe data: easeus partition master. I wiped data(Tried at least) because I had issues with mounting the sd card on my nexus 5 with usb otg using stickmount. Edit: I've already formatted the sd card to fat32 days ago.

You cant do any of that on a non USB mass storage . You probably messed the driver and need to reinstall it again and maybe reflash cache.img to fix storage if the phone is softbricked.
Don't use any 3rd party desktop software to handle the storage in the nexus 5. direct access via explorer is all you need and cmd for adb and fastboot.
Hello,
did you try to reactivate the sd card with eg. gparted under Linux ? This tool is my first choice when it comes to editing partition information.
You don´t need to have a linux distribution installed, simply grab yourself a gparted live cd and you´re good to go :good:

Yes, Agree. Easeus is good but its only as good as windows so if you're having trouble mounting and formatting the sdcard in Windows, try gparted.
If that doesn't work, you could have screwed the sdcard. Luckily they're really cheap nowadays

You cant do any of that on a non USB mass storage . You probably messed the driver and need to reinstall it again and maybe reflash cache.img to fix storage if the phone is softbricked.
Don't use any 3rd party desktop software to handle the storage in the nexus 5. direct access via explorer is all you need and cmd for adb and fastboot.

Sorry what I mean was my sandisk 64gb micro sd card, not the phone's sd card.

Yes, Agree. Easeus is good but its only as good as windows so if you're having trouble mounting and formatting the sdcard in Windows, try gparted.
If that doesn't work, you could have screwed the sdcard. Luckily they're really cheap nowadays

£33 for an sd card isn't really cheap for me. But if it comes to that, I wouldn't mind buying another.

The one you lose may have cost that, but you can buy them cheaper now.
That said, i doubt it will come to that.

Yh I'm glad it didn't come to that, Partitioned and done. thanks once again guys.
First time I tried to use sd card on my phone today. It doesn't read the card. Card is working fine. I tested it on pc and on another phone. I formatted it on pc and nothing changed. Phone is us unlocked and running stock oreo. Anyone has the same problem? Or solution?
Edit: problem solved when I format the card through my old phone but not from my pc.
I've had the issue before.. Back up everything on it and format it through your phone, not from a PC... I know it's a well known fact, but in case you don't know, if you ever format a card from your PC, don't use the format tool that comes with Windows, it doesn't format correctly and could damage the card... Also, before you put the card back in the phone, try wiping the terminals on it before re-inserting it

What file system are you using on the card? Try formatting with a different file system to see if you can get it to read.. I had an Android set top box that wouldn't read exFAT but if read NTFS without any issues

For the heck of it, try FAT32.. If you can get it to read in the phone then, reformat it again from the phone.. If it still doesn't read, try another card in the phone to make sure it isn't the phone itself or the rom you have installed.. If the other card works, maybe contact the manufacturer of the card to see if you can get a replacement.. I've done that for a few SanDisk cards already and their customer service is pretty good from my experience
*Edit* I also have had luck with the format tool on SD card.org

Probably your best bet at the moment... The Windows format tool does not play nice with SD cards
