Hello xda !
I've got a 16GB class 4 sdcard.
Recently I tried to partition my sdcard using Mini Tool Partition Wizard on windows.
I wanted to get a 1.4GB ext2 partition to do App2sd, and keeping the whole 13.5 left in FAT32 for UMS (Mass Storage).
It wasn't working, I think it was because I was doing it by a USB connection through my phone. I tried it at least 4 times, each time I was able to reformat the whole card in FAT32, so no major problem.
BUT now, I don't know why but my sdcard isn't recognized anywhere, is tried though MOTOROLA DEFY, SAMSUNG GALAXY PLAYER WIFI 4.0 and MICROSD COMPUTER ADAPTER. Even in Mini Tool Partition Wizard, I can't see it.
SO is there a way for me to recover my sdcard ?
If someone could help me it would be awesome guys
Baxt, xda-lover

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.
Hi,
I have just bought a 32GB SD Card from Amazon. Komputerbay Class 10.
I have been running Sandvold's ICS ROM for the last month and all was fine, but I wanted a faster SD card.
I used Easeus Partition Manager using Windows XP and I created a 1GB ext2 partition after a FAT32 Partition.
However, I made it logical and wasn't able to change it to Primary, so I created another ext2 partition, this time Primary.
So, FAT32 partition of 28GB ish Primary, ext2 of 1GB Primary then ext3 of 1GB logical.
However, although my PC can see the FAT32 partition, my Desire cannot.
It can however see it in recovery which allowed me to flash the ROM etc.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
Perhaps you can format the card from the recovery, using 'Partition SD' option.

I read that it was not a safe thing to do to partition that way, but there shouldn't be a problem formatting that way?
But unfortunately not.
Still undetected.
I can put the old one in and it is found, so pretty sure it's not the phone.
As an update, I've just tried formatting to NTFS then back to FAT32 without joy.
Also, the ext2 does work as I had 988 MB of internal memory at one stage yesterday.
GPart Live worked a treat. All sorted.
The drivers on the laptop I used rendered the screen almost unreadable whilst using it, but at home it was fine.
I had a very similar problem: i create an ext3 partition and a fat32 one, but when i plugged the phone o the pc i cannot see any memory... After several tryouts, i made both the partition primary, BUT i place the fat32 at the beginning. And everything works fine xD
Hi Guys,
Can I get help on how to copy a file larger than 4GB to SD card? I tried to read up and try a lot of stuff but still really lost here. I'm on Virtuous rom.
- I tried to format my card in ext4 but the phone don't recognized it. (I read stock rom don't support ex4)
- I tried to format the card in the device but it didn't work. (I think the phone format the card to FAT32 but not sure as windows just say "generic hierarchical" file system).
- I tried to format the card in NTFS and the phone didn't recognized it.
- Tried to format the card in FAT32 and can't copy the 5gb file because of the 4GB limitation.
- I tried to format my card in exfat but phone don't recognized ( I read that stock kernal don't support exfat).
I think you can only have your card formatted as FAT32 for the phone to recognize it. 4GB is a limitation of FAT32. So that's it, you're stuck with that limit.

It sucks when alot of devices depend on fat32.

Hi folks
I have a 4gb sandisk sd card
I had a 512 mb ext3 partition and a 128 mb Swap partition
One day it suddenly became "read only"
I can access all files but can't add new.
Can't click pics etc..
I tried formatting via PC
My pc showed an empty disk but when I put the sd card back in all the files were back :/
I have tried DoD 7 passes wipe using MiniTool, unpartitioning the sd card, reformat, changing file system, everything!
But the sd card returns to its original state when I put it back on my phone :/
I've tried it on 3 different androids and a Java based phone.. I own a windows 8 32 bit PC.. with all drivers properly installed and USB slots fully functional.
Any help will be appreciated ASAP

Hello,
I have a problem with Link2SD which I hope someone knows an answer for. My setup looks like this:
Hardware
Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL
SanDisk Ultra MicroSD (64 GB)
Software:
Android 8.0.0 (A320FLXXS3CRK1)
Newest TWRP for my phone
Newest Magisk
Universal Init.d Injector v2.2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/mod-universal-init-d-injector-wip-t3692105)
How I setup the partitions of the microSD
First Partition as FAT32 (Primary) with a drive letter assigned. Second Partition ext4 (also Primary) without a drive letter. MiniTool Partition Wizard was used for this process.
Also tried a few variations of the above like making the second partition ext2 or setting the first partition to active but in the end it all made no difference
Now the strange part ....
The partitions are properly detected when I connect the microSD to the PC using a card reader.
The first partition is also detected as external memory by android and I can use it like every other SD with one partition
Link2SD is also able to detect the second partition, mount it at start and link apps to it
The problem is that my PC wont detect the sd card when I connect the phone to it. When I reformat the SD back to one partition the SD card is detected without a problem (explorer showing the internal memory aswell the external memory)
[*]Sometimes the card is also shown as not detected in the default samsung file explorer even tho the apps moved to the sdCard are stil working
Does anyone have a clue what is happening here or what I am doing wrong?
Dear user
I am having the same troubles with my a320fl when attempting to use 64gb sd card partitioned with fat32 and ext2/ex4.
Once I enter the card in the phone and restart it doesn't register on the phone.
I hope someone else can help us!
I have the same problem, also with a 64GB Samsung Evo, could this be an A3 issue?
