Are you formatting the sd card as fat32? by default windows will pick NTFS.. worth a look. The phone needs Fat32.
What type of MicroSD card is it?
And where did you get it from?
Is there any possibility it could be a fake? So actually a low capacity card like 2GB (or lower) pretending to be 32GB?
I used to have a program which would write to every sector on the card and prove it's actual size, very handy for checking cards from ebay, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called!
Make sure you are not quick-formatting the card and that you have set FAT32 as the file system
If you can copy files to the card on a computer and then use them, the card is ok. Maybe try the files on a second computer to double-check.
You can also try filling up the card with data... I once bought a 4GB card and only 2GB were working :|

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?
here is how your format the ultra 64gb sdxc to fat32

sending card back to best buy and getting a new one and will start over.. My phone kept saying blank sd card....i had two partitions on it and was trying to rid of it and messed up somewhere down the line...Everyone makes its sound simple as putting it in your phone and letting it format it to fat32, but im sure the galaxy is putting it to extfat.. I will do some more studying on it...

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!

Alright, my new card is in and ready to give it another shot. I'm running windows vista. I was told to try:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm....When i insert my card it says 29, does that mean that it will only do 29gb? I hear people saying that they just pop the card in their phones and it formats it that way. Is that format exfat?

exfat is not compatible with cwm recovery...if you plan on running any rom other than stock, you will need to format as fat32.
Cool, thanks... I just want to make sure as to what im seeing when i pop the card in and hit format. the program is showing E:29, what exactly does that mean? It doesnt give me an option to go any higher
The phone formats the card as "basic hierarchical." not sure if it can be used with cwm

Yes, that's what it means. Download EaseUS partition manager. Format the card with that. The guiformat program didn't work for me, kept coming up as sd card damaged.

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?

Connect your sd card to computer with card reader and start command prompt.
Type the following:
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /r
This will Scan for and attempt Recovery of bad sectorsor
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /f
this will Automatically Fix file system errors on the disk
Try these commands and see whether the problem is fixed or not/

SOLUTION :
In the nokia storage's options, just click for 2seconds on the SD CARD STORAGE and it will appear an list of option as "delete password". I've just deleted the password which was put to get an private storage. That's why i could'nt use my sd card on other devices.
Now i can use my SDHC card on all devices that support it

Check if it is mounting on your computer when you connect your phone. If so, just format it and then try it on your phone.

not sure if this will definitely solve your issue, but try formatting the SD card in a PC or maybe in another phone if it recognizes it... :good:

First backup your data, by some means ( connecting to some card readers, etc)
Now mount your SD card in USB mode using some other device that support, or the same card reader itself. ( some non android phones are also capable of that, like HTC Smart that I had )
Using some partitioning tool, delete whole of the contents - not just data, but the whole partitions ( I tested it on Gparted in linux. Gparted live medium is available from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php ). Now your card doesnt have any partitions, or even a partition table.
Insert the device into your xperia L and turn it on. It will automatically format your card to fat32 partition.

If its permanently damaged, there is nothing you can do. As a final hand, you may try inserting it into a linux system, and check the output of command "ls /dev | grep sdb". If your card is being detected, the output will be sdb if you haven't plugged any other removable device.

same as me....my 32gb kingston sd card class 10 is not working. XL always say "sd card damaged"
XL has problems with class 10 cards. I had a Sandisk Class 10 16 GB sdhc, which I was about to get replaced due to the same reason, but lost it.
I then bought a transcend 16GB class 10 sdcard, which the phone showed as damaged. I then finally had that replaced, and after a formatting a few times and restarting a few times, it somehow worked.
plus many others reported class 10 cards not being read on XL
Luck by chance :/
with UHS-1 is works flawlessly

If ur fone is rooted .. connect ur fone to pc via usb cable, go into recovery mode thru ur fone , if u can see mounts and storage , select it and then select mount USB option .. ur sd card will be mounted .. copy the files to ur pc .. if u have minitool partition wizard , open it and format / delete and create ur sdcard , then copy ur files back into the sdcard .. So u got ur sdcard back !
