SD Card Issues

I bought a new 32 gig sd card, I copied the filed on my existing card to a folder on my computer then transferred it to my 32 gig sd card. When I try flashing a rom from my new card it doesn't go thru, if I try flash it from my old sd it go thru fine.
What is happening or what am I doing wrong ?

What is the manufacturer and speed of the card and where did you buy it from?

Its a Sandisk 32 gb SD card. I bought it online cant remember exactly where right now.

What file format did you use to format it?

Not sure I used the formatter in the link above. Is there a specific format and formatter I need to use?

Yeah, I'd like to know as well... I have an 8g card and I did a 512 ext and the rest Fat32... do I need to set the ext partition to ext3 or will that happen automatically depending on the rom...

Okay guys I need to figure this out so here goes again:
I just bought a 32gb scan disk SD card to replace a 8gb I had. When I try flashing a ROM or rebooting in recovery with the 32gb card in the phone it gets stuck on that black screen with the android logo and the triangle. If I use my 8 gb card everything proceeds smoothly. I have formatted it but I get the same result.
Can any one tell me how to fix this problem?

Do you have a card reader on your computer? I had a similar issue when I was using the "quick format" option in windows. Once I did the longer version it worked fine.

Kingston SDC10/32GB

I recently bought Kingston SDC10/32GB memory card and it has some problems with my LG P500 (looks like sometimes phone is unable to write information to this memory card).
I had partition it with 1920 MB ext4 /sd-ext partition (rest was FAT32).
First ever problem was restoring /sd-ext backup using Amon Ra recovery (recovery-ra-thunderg-3.06-gnm) - after waiting about 3 hours I connected phone to PC and with ADB looked that unyaffs process is running, unyaffs was not killable (with kill and killall commands) nor reboot command worked, at last I pulled battery to stop it.
Another accident was moving /data/app and /data/Dalvik-cache to this memory card - after doing this I wiped Dalvik-cache and /cache (via recovery), then phone didn't boot. After about 10 minutes of watching CyanogenMod boot animation I connected phone to PC, tried to run adb shell and it couldn't connect to phone (I killed adb daemon before connecting).
When I connected this card to PC (using USB microSD adapter) and checked it with Check Flash it showed no problems.
The question - is anybody using Kingston SDC10/32GB in his LG P500?
I think either card that I bought is malfunctioning, either it is somehow incompatible with LG P500 (I don't know - may be it drains too much electricity)...
P.S. Kingston 32 GB class 4 microSD card works well in these conditions.

Mmm 2gb of a2sd no ... test with max 1gb maybe this is rhe problem
I ear thar more 1gb is instable

Thank you for your answer! Strange - this works well with my 32GB class 4 card. Also I have made sector by sector copy of my old card and after cleaning Dalvik cache on new card phone hung on CyanogenMod boot animation.
What do other people say about this 1 GB limitation?

There is some discussion about this over on Android Central that points to sd-ext filesystems 1GB and larger causing problems with link2sd. Sorry I don't have a link but it should be something you can find. I saw it in the Optimus V forums.

SD card problem
I had a similar problem with my P509 and a 32gb class4 card check the pins in the micro sd card slot, the center pin was not making good contact and the phone was giving me all kinds of problems.

I adjusted microSD slot pins and it didn't help. Looks like my card has some electrical interface problems (overcurrent?) - sometimes with SDC10/32GB inserted my phone is not recognized as valid USB device by computer (Windows tray notification about misbehaving USB device is shown).
So does anybody have a good working Kingston SDC10/32GB (32 GB Class 10 microSD card) in his LG P500?

Trouble with 64gb SD card

Anyone have this card http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007W...-5410429?ref_=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_1 or any 64gb SD card? I'm having a problem getting cwm to recognize it. I already reformatted it and still it does not work in cwm. Anyone know anything about this? My 32gb card works just fine

Try formatting on a Mac. I have that card, tried three PCs with no luck but works perfectly after formatting on Mac using FAT.

I guess cwm does not support exfat which the gs3 defaults to when formatting 64gb cards. I found out here http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...ting-roms-hacks/184708-64gb-micro-sd-cwm.html I need to partition the card with a program. I'll do that tomorrow I'm going to bed lol

One of those "believe it or not" things: the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity = 64GB or more) specification says that the default (factory) format is exFAT. The GS3 recognizes both exFAT and FAT32, but some ROMS do not support exFAT due to Microsoft's funky licensing.

You don't need to partition it. You need to format it to Fat32 as was mentioned.

I am now on my 3rd 64GB MicroSD, the same one in OP.
It works when I get it, but it preformatted as exFat, which wont work with ROM.
The first 2 SDs I used EaseUS Partition to format as Fat32. Format went fine, but when I went to place files on card, card unmounted. This last one I used Ridgecorp’s Fat32Format, but same problem.
When I insert card, Win7 sees it, but if I go to format/write it disconnects.
Before I send this third one back to amazon, any ideas how to format it?
FYI, I took the last one to a frien with a mac to see if he could fix it, after i tried to format Fat32, but no luck.

Yea, I believe that's the same card I have(had for working on 3 1/2 months now) and I used the Ridgecorp GUI utility in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735 to format it as soon as I got it.
I've loaded it with music and continue to play said music all the time, use my ext for all my ROM downloading and storage. I access it all the time thru the phone and computer with no problems attributed to the card. (Some ROMs screw with my computer seeing my phone period)

Surprise! TW UI Did the trick!
S'up Crew
I don't know if this would apply to anyone on this thread but I bought a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC and my SGS3 Wouldn't recognize the card and all.
At the time I was running CM10 Stable.
After trying several different methods found around the forums (both here and external) nothing worked.
W7 would only recognize it as a 32GB because of OS limitations and with every single third party software I tried it was always the same thing (32GB only).
So on a whim I decided to try a slightly different approach.
I flashed a backup I had of the Original Touch Whiz UI I had laying around back onto the device. Shoved the SD card into it and LO and BEHOLD.. It recognized the card.. Erased the Contents and Formated it properly!
I went into Titanium Backup to see if it actually worked and there it was..
63.xGB.. Woohoo!
So apparently CM has problems seeing a 64GB MircoSDXC correctly and the Stock Touch Whiz UI OS works nicely to see it and format it.
Hope this helps the next person who reads this!

I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my Mac to fat32 and it has worked fine since.
CWM sees it as that size, TWRP does, both my Mac and PC do.

Thanks for reply, I also tried with an sd card reader, it's the same problem. Could Nokia set a protection on the sdhc card ?? If yes, I've just lost an sdhc card to be used on other devices....

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

Note 10.1 sd card won't mount.

Hey guys, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I just got a SanDisk 64Gb class 10 micro sd card for it. I have the same cars for my S4 and it works fine. However when I insert the new card into my note it says "checking sd card" and then will immediately say "safe to remove sd card". I can write and format the card in my computer and when I format it to NTSF (which I know android won't read) I get it to tell me that I need to format the sd card which I do and it works fine. Then once format is compete it does the same problem.
I put the new card into my S4 and it mounted fine. Now before you tell me it's a problem with my Note 10.1 read this:
I have a 8Gb SanDisk microSD that works just fine. Also when I put the 64Gb card in and boot to TWRP recovery I can mount and write to the card just fine.
I am running Hyper Drive rtl3 and I had the problem. So I wiped and updated to hyper drive rtl4 and the problem still exists.
I'm really baffled by this problem. Any ideas guys?
Also after I post this I plan to take the 64gb card that is in my S4 and trying it in my note. I'll post back what happens.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Alright so the Sd card from my phone which works in my phone did the same thing in my note. Could it be the ROM I am using. Is this a problem that's known in Hyperdrive? Again running the most current 4.0.0.0 version.

The attached file can format your Sandisk 64gb chip to fat32 if you need to. I used it to format my Sandisk 64GB 2 days ago.
If you need more help let us know.

Your ROM won't recognize a 64gb card. I went back to stock so that I could use mine. Lots of info on here about this.

Formatting to FAT32 worked perfectly thanks.
And yes this rom does support 64bit cards.

Sadly, formatting my Samsung 64GB UHC to FAT 32 from eFAT didn't help. As before, when I slip the card into the slot for a microsecond the "Mount SD Card" appears then greys out and in the tastbar appears "Preparing SD card checking for errors" and this message stays there for eternity or until I either take the card out or reboot.

Cmcole101 mine dose the same thing did you ever end up fixing it?
