I have tried using ES file explorer, the Asus file manager, and FX file explorer. I get a copy failed message every time I try to copy a file to the removable SD card.
Anyone else have this issue?

Have you tried to reformat the card with fat32?
I just did. Seems I'm only having issues with the 32 GB size cards. Acting like they are read only. Can't find such a setting anywhere. Is there another format that should work?

Have you tried with the latest kernel (JB version .25) and what make and model of your sdcard? just wonder if compability issue and are we talking about Micro sdcard or full size sdcard? On the full size there is a little switch on the side to block writting to the card.
I'm only having issues when I'm using the tablet to copy files. I'm on CleanROM Inheritance. I don't recall if I had this issue with the stock rom. Sometime tonight I will make a backup of my current and then flash to stock rom. Since I'm talking about the removable SD card, it could only be the micro SD that is installed in the tablet. There is no switch on that card.

I think flashing the _that nodpi kernel should resolved your issue, give it a try.

download this http://d-h.st/M6j then flash with twrp, during the install pick _that_nodpi_stock kernel.
That did it. Did it replace the overclock kernal I selected when I flashed CROMI 3.2?

Yes, it replaced what ever kernel you selected during cleanrom installation. Since it stock kernel, you can no longer Overclock.
Is there another kernel that can be the fix and still give us over clock?

Sorry but nope, I believe as soon as Asus release source code, _that is going to make an OC version for this and it's going to be awsome. For now we just have to wait.

Hi.
I'm having a problem with my Samsung Micro SDXC I (Class 10) card. I've been messing abut with it for days now, formatting, re-formatting in exFAT, FAT32, NTFS but the problem persists; whenever I try to copy data across to the card, the first time the card is inserted, it starts to copy, sometimes even up to 1.5Gb of data but often much less, but then gives me a 'Write Error' or 'I/O Error' message & stops working. Sometimes it also deletes other data on the card when the error occurs. then, until I unmount the card again, it barely functions at all!
A big factor in buyinh this tablet, unlocking, then rooting it was so that I'd have an awesome, small, tablet that had loads of storage & could be transported around very easily. If I can't get the cards to work with it, that's a big part of it's usefulness to me down the drain.
I tried to download the kernal that was mentioned above the message of yours that I'm replying to but the file has been moved. Do you still have it?.......or know how I can resolve my problem without it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You don't say which rom or firmware you are currently using. Without knowing that I wouldn't go blindly flashing kernels that are nearly a year old
It could be that your card is actually damaged as I can copy files just fine on mine. I'm using a SanDisk Ultra uhs-1.

Hi sbdags,
Roger that
I'm not bad with most things tecchie but whilst I know which ROM I'm using, I'm not sure what the firmware is.
I recently updated to CROMI-X 5.2.2 from an earlier version in the hope that that might include an update or something that would solve my SD card problem.......it didn't
With regard to 'Firmware', I'm not sure where that's listed on the tablet but in the 'About' tab in my settings, it says:
Android Version - 4.2.1
Kernal Version - 3.1.10-g215ae8bf [email protected] # 1
Build Number - TF700 CHROMI-X 5.2.2 - 10.6.1.27.5 WW DEODEX
Pad EC Version - PAD-EC20T-0216
MobileDock Version - DOCK-EC20N-0207
I hope the firmware information you need is in there somewhere?
The card I bought is the latest 64Gb Samsung Micro SDXC Pro UHS-1 (Class 10) with write speeds of 20Mb/s & 70Mb transfer speed. I had read the formums & was torn between this card & the SanDisk 64Gb Ultra Micro SDXC (Class 10), the two-tone red/grey version, presumably like the one you're using but the Samsung was faster & at the time I bought it, the Samsungwas almost £15 cheaper. Since they were both reported to work, I opted for the Samsung card; maybe that was a bad decision?
I've just ordered the SanDisk 64Gb card, in the hope that that one will work because as i said, it really would be a shame if I can't make use of the extended storage that the SD crads give.
Do you use your SanDisk card in Micro SD form in the tablet or SD form in the dock.....or both......& have you got them formatted to exFAT or some other format?
Thanks again for your attention.

Hi sbdags.
I've tried using both the File Explorer that was included with CHROMI-X & another one from the Play Store that I use on my phone called Astro; the same thing happens with both. As I say, the card seemed okay to begin with but all I had put on it was my Nandroid & Titanium backups (approx. 2Gb total with lots of small files included). The problems started when I tried to copy a season of a TV series onto the card to free up space on the internal SD card. It started off okay & I wasn't expecting any problems but then approx 1.5Gb, I got an I/O write error & then all the problems I described in my first post.
As an aside, the card performed best when formatted to FAT32 but according to the SD Card Association, SDXC cards come formatted as exFAT, so that's how it's currently formatted; I thought if that's how it came & it initially worked okay, maybe that would solve the issue. Again, I was wrong!
So, I'll format it back to FAT32 again but as I've already had it in that format, I wouldn't anticipate any change to the card's behaviour.
The 64Gb SanDisk card should be here in a few days, so I'll be able to report on whether that one works or not then.
Did you have to re-format yours when you first got it or are the SD Card Association talking nonsense? Oh, & you didn't say whether you're able to use your cards in both micro form in the pad &/or full-size form in the dock? Also, was the Firmware information you asked for in that mass of stuff I listed. If not, where do I find it, so I know for the next time you ask

I've never tried my card in the dock to be honest. Both my cards; 32GB and 64GB are SanDisk, I am not sure now what they cam in but I am using fat32 as I formatted them myself.
As for the stuff you posted I just wanted to know the rom and bootloader version. So CROMi-X 5.2.2 on 10.6.1.14.10 would have ben enough. Maybe the kernel helps too. In your case you are using the stock kernel. You may get better results on thatv4 kernel?

So, I think I've grasped that the kernel is similar to the BIOS on a PC; is that correct?

Not really, the kernel is ... the kernel. The core of the operating system. Under Windows it's ntoskrnl.exe.
You could compare the bootloader with the PC BIOS - its main function (nowadays) is to start the operating system.

I tried this card before and the unit didnt seem to find it, it just showed at the bottom saying can be removed, but when i went to storage it wasn't there.
i put the card in my laptop and used guiformat to format it as fat32 but it shows as 29gb and not 64. the packaging says 64gb, am i missing something or do i have a wrong card in my packaging?
james
Look at the card to see if its a 32gb or 64gb. Use a laptop/pc and reformat it using exfat and see how much memory is available. I had that same problem when I I inserted in the
note, I did use EaseUS Partition Master to format to FAT32 and worked fine. Then I manually updated my firmware on the note N8013 and I was able to format through the note and back to exFAT.
It said 64gb on the card and the packaging, i have sent it back to amazon for an exchange, i had also formatted the card with guiformat as fat32 and it still showed as 29gb free. even after formatting it as fat32 my note 10.1 still wouldn't see it
Have you tried formatting fat32 using a different software such as the one I mentioned on my previous post? What 10.1 note do you own and it's build number?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
i own the n8010
Im not familiar on which is the latest update on the N8010, but you should post your build and maybe someone can help if it needs an update or do a search here on the forum. The only thing I can help with is eliminating if your sdcard is defective, but since you already returned its hard test it now.
my build is: IMM76D.N8010XXALGC
I have the exact same problem on my spanking new note 10.1 32gb N8013 (UEALGB) model with 64gb sdxc sandisk card. Can you share more info about the manual update you did?
I had this problem on an 8000... I don't know why but the note seems to partition exfat cards to a FAT32 32gb partition and an unformatted partition. It destroyed my new 64gb sd card as NOTHING would recover it....
Had to get a new card....
I got the SanDisk ultra 64gb sdxc and used it with my s3. I just put the card in my new N8000 and so far everything is working great.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
i have the same problem, when i insert the card on the phone it say blank card
when i insert it on the PC it read it EXFAT format
when i copy my data and put it back to the Note the card is read only where i cannot edit at all or add files or add new folder even\
Any idea??
steps to get 64gb working
can anybody please provide a step by step guideline including tools how to get a new 64gb card working??

The two tools I have used and found most effective are SD Formatter here and EASUS Partition here.. Both freebies and both very intuitive to use.
Also the latest update allegedly resolves some issues with 64GB uSD cards.
HTH
Quote -Also the latest update allegedly resolves some issues with 64GB uSD cards.
Correct. Latest update does handle the 64Gb cards much better. I was on the same firmware as previously mentioned i .e. XXALGC and when I inserted the card I couldn't do anything with it. So I downloaded the latest firmware for the GT-N8000 off Sammobile - The september German version as it said it includes UK, flashed it through odin and that was it . Card worked perfectly didnt have to do anything to it. I did format it through the settings > storage menu anyway to be safe and all was good.
Also, the update gave me newer versions of snote and polaris which helped cure a few little gripes too , so all good !:fingers-crossed:

It needs the updated firmware to work properly but as there ain't a later one just for the UK I went with the German one. No issues so far and yes I have a keyboard dock too

After quite a bit of researching + trial and errors, I'm kind of stumped on this one...
Basically what I'm trying to do is get a 128GB SDXC card recognized in a Verizon Galaxy S3 [(via SD to Micro SD cable (NOT OTG)].
However it comes up as Blank SD card or unsupported format.
It reads perfectly fine on my HTC Thunderbolt running ROM version "liquid.mecha.20111118.145810" with "imoseyon-6.2.1AOSP" kernel.
Also reads perfectly on HTC Sensation running PARANOIDANDROID
Steps I've tried:
- Format Card: fat32, ntfs, exfat, ext3, ext4 (via EaseUS Partition Master) - Comes up as Blank SD card or unsupported format.
- Also tried all available allocation unit size for fat32 - Still the same thing
- Tried formatting on the S3 itself - Still the same thing
- Tried formatting on the Thunderbolt and transferring the card over - Still the same thing

(Since I can't add pictures yet due to post count, just add http in the beginning)

I sure hope it's not a limitation just on the S3 itself.
I'm going to go back and try different ROMs on my thunderbolt to see if it's related to a specific ROM or kernel, then probably proceed to testing different phones.
However any type of feedback is greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:
Bump
Great effort! I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress.
Perhaps Samsung is intentionally blocking cards larger than 64GB on these phones. Have you tried apps such as NTFS mounter and tried mounting the card with other file systems such as NTFS/EXT3/4 etc? Maybe this will get around any space restrictions that Samsung may have imposed on the Android file system. But it seems like you already have.
Perhaps this thread may help out as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797499
It would be interesting to see what SDXC controller the S3 uses. If it is the same as on a phone where the 128GB card works perhaps it may be possible to patch the S3 with the driver in the other phone.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes I already tried using NTFS mounter with all the other file systems, nothing was being detected or coming up at all. Maybe NTFS mounter is targeted more towards OTG connection, not too positive on that one.
I forgot to mention I did try different kernels. Whichever came with the ROMs and including KT747, Lean, and Trinity (also the variants with touchwiz and AOSP).
I've also gotten around to testing the Samsung S3 variants on T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint... None of them detected the card.
However a friend of mines lent me his Korean variant S3 (SHV- E210S with Exynos) and that phone detected the card perfectly fine.
Phones that also were tried were: LG Spectrum, Galaxy S2 (International), myTouch 4G. All of them detected the card even in recovery.
*I don't believe it's kernel related, if all the other phones were able to detect it in recovery...
I also contacted Samsung via e-mail but they weren't much supportive on the whole topic. Just a simple answer of the Galaxy S3 was never meant to support anything above 64GB (in which I find that untrue with the Korean variants at least).
I'm about out of ideas on what left there is to try... hopefully someone can come up with something.
I really liked the S3 but having a 128GB memory card sitting around would be a waste.
Going to test on my friends Note II since Verizon is going to be getting their own also, then will probably just ships.
Hopefully my information has helped someone.
Have you tried a small capasity SD card to see if it has to do with the connection or if it has to do with the size?

I believe it would just be the size issue on the S3. 64GB SDXC works fine. 128GB does not.
Shouldn't have anything to do with card or connection if it worked on 5+ other phones.

Getting a 128Gb SD card working in the S3 would be awesome!
Have you tried 2 64Gb FAT32 partitions? or maybe several smaller partitions.
Maybe even just a single 64Gb partition

Has anyone figured this out? I just bought the converter and a 128GB SDXC card. At first I was on the TW Jellybean K3 11B ROM I hooked it up without formating and the ROM recognized it as 120GB. So I plugged it into my PC to throw some files on it some ROMs and back ups etc, then I put it back in my phone went into recovery to flash a ROM that I put on the card and it was taking forever? As if the converter cable was slowing down the speed? So anyways I ended up flashing a aosp ROM of of my micro SD card (Carbon 4.2.2) then I plugged my converter with the 128gb card back in but the ROM wouldn't recognize it? So I tried formatting it in recovery and on the ROM but I'm still having no luck?? Any Suggestions or ideas how to get it to work? Thanks!

(Since I can't add pictures yet due to post count, just add http in the beginning)

I sure hope it's not a limitation just on the S3 itself.
I'm going to go back and try different ROMs on my thunderbolt to see if it's related to a specific ROM or kernel, then probably proceed to testing different phones.
However any type of feedback is greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:

I believe it may specifically be a limitation of the Verizon s3 version. I have a 256gb card working fine on an att Note 2, and att and tmobile s3s have been proven to work as well.
I'm a regular user of XDA roms for flashing, but I ran into a problem that I think should be included in every rom listing, which is the type of micro SD card supported by that particular rom. I flashed a rom a few months back that, I thought at the time, had made my Sandisk 64gb microsdhc card unuseable. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has native support for these cards and the exFat file system. I ended up recovering my data on a PC, but I sent 2 cards back to Sandisk thinking they were somehow corrupt. I eventually switched to Scott's Roms which recognized the cards just fine. My humble advice is for developers to please state which types of microsd cards are supported so that others avoid this problem thinking that their sdcards are bad. Thanks .
Why not just format it to fat32? That's what I did to mine. Also cwm does not support exfat (I found out the hard way)

This is not a ROM issue this is a Samsung issue. If you search for microsd error or microsd no longer working you will find people having this issue. The consensus I got from researching is that it has to do with how Samsung handles exFAT and that you should go with FAT32 over exFAT. I had a microSD UHS-1 Class 10 card just stop working and didn't work anywhere and I was using CleanROM.
Cards using the exFAT file system cannot be read by open-source ROMs like Cyanogenmod because Microsoft owns the exFAT file system and in order to support it, Microsoft would have to be paid a licensing fee. Touchwiz-based ROMs can read them because the support is baked into Samsung's software.
If you want your card to work with all ROMs, you have to format it with the FAT32 file system. Additionally, not all formatting utilities seem to do it right for SDXC cards. I used the GUIFORMAT program detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735. Unfortunately this means that you won't be able to store files larger than 4GB on your SD card.

That was my understanding of the Touchwiz roms, but I just installed Galaxy MOD RLS11 and it is giving me that error "SD card safe to remove". I know there are some utilities that will format cards above the 32gb limit, but the 4gb file size is a pain for some of the movies,etc. I get with Adownloader. I have the 32gb S3 and the 64gb Ashcroft which makes me want to never own a Nexus device . No issues on Scott's rom, but it isn't as fast and it doesn't have the 4.2 camera or gallery, which I really like.

Kernel has to support ExFat also so if using stock kernel and modules are still in rom should work.
Please post questions in Q&A

I've tried formatting the sdxc-card in so many ways now. Using both diskpart. minitool partition wizard, sdformatter and easeus partition manager.
Tried using FAT32, exFat and NTFS. None of them works. When using exFat the card is recognized and the phone asks if I want to format, but nothing happens after it says it's erasing the sd card.
The card works perfectly fine in Windows formatted as exFat.
I'm running stock ICS 4.0.4 if it helps to know.
I also have a friend who is using a 64gb sdxc card on the same type of phone.
Which version he's using I do not know.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

I thought, the Desire S can work with up to 32GB sd-cards. I've read it many times on different web-sites.

So I've read also, but since my friend is using a 64GB without a hitch it should work. Unless it's only possible when using a custom rom? For a short period I managed to get the phone to see the card and report all 64GB, but then it was unmounted. Managed to do this using a certain cluster size as exFat if I remember right.

You could ask your friend, the correct model of the SD-Card, and buy the one he also has, or test his one and see, if it's related with your hardware or not. I'm still a bit noob, so, you'll better also hear opinions by other XDA members.
Might have found the issue
I downgraded from ice cream sandwich to gingerbread(?) 2.3.3 while I at the same time rooted the phone and set the bootloader to s-off.
Now the phone itself has managed to format the card and recognize ~62GB/64GB. I successfully formatted it using cwm too and the phone still recognizes it. At the moment I'm partitioning the sdxc-card with a higher cluster size since it was really really slow when I tried to copy a file from windows. Note that it's a class 10 card.
Appears to be a problem with ICS. If anyone else can confirm this we're set here I think.

Ok, the good news is, you made the phone to recognize it! That's really good, taking into account that reviews said it's only capable of having up to 32GB standard SD-card.

Formatting the card as FAT32 with a primary and active partition is the only way I can get the card to be recognized.
But as soon as I try to copy something to the card it gets removed and unusable again.
Could there be a need for several partitions? One primary and one logical perhaps?
I've changed to flinnys version of CM10.1 build 22 called andromadus (jelly bean) which at a couple of times reported the card as damaged.
Tips on software for checking and possibly fixing a damaged one?

So i have had the P900 for a few years now and want to try and get some use out of it. Im into photography and would like to use the tab for some light editing while on the road. My question is, will the tab be able to read a Sandisk 64gb Extreme pro SD card if i get an OTG? I am running and old version of Android, 4.4..2. I believe its original firmware only thing that was done was root. Thanks

First of all you should update to stock 5.0.2.
I'm having a 200GB card internally but if your OTG is good enough it should be able to read it of course depending on the file system it uses.
Why don't you want to insert it?
Btw my P900 is working with Lineage OS 14.1 = Nougat perfectly well.

Went ahead and updated to stock 5.0.2. Got scared there for a minute as i had done a mistake trying to flash a custom rom and took mea while to find stock rom. Now in regards to the external SD card, I use it on a Fujifilm mirrorless camera and my understanding is that the SDXC cards use the exFat format. I want to make sure, before i buy a OTG cable, that the tab can actually read the card. I want to be able to transfer pictures from said external SD card into the tab and edit them with Lightroom or Snapseed.
I also have another tab, the Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tab, and that one doesn’t read the SD card, i get an error message when i connected the sd card on its OTG. Something about “high power device” or something similar.

Afaik you can format cards like you need it.
Of course with the appropriate formater.
FAT, exFAT, NTFS, ext2, ext4.... depends on your necessities.
My P900 card was formatted exFAT and can read/write.
In other devices I use other formats (SDHX as well).
I believe I read somewhere that someone connected a 1TB portable HDD. I'll try to find it...
