Hello
I wanted to install Katkiss on my tf101. I wiped all the things I had to and headed to the installation part but my tablet couldn't recognize any external SDs. I use TWRP so it should have been supported.
I could get into apx mode but I don't know if I can put files on my tab from there. My PC can't recognize the tab if I try it in an other way. So someone can please help me and give some solutions for reaching the internal SD with a USB connection?
I guess I can install the files from TWRP after it .
Any help would be appreciated. ?
If TWRP is working, put files on a microSD and install the OS. Otherwise, you will need to use APX and something like EasyFlasher to install TWRP or the stock firmware.

I have spread installed TWRP as I remember I also used EasyFlasher to do it. As I mentioned my tf101 couldn't read any SD card that's why I've asked for a hint to put the katkiss files on my internal card.
How is the microSD formatted?
Did you boot to TWRP after installing the microSD?
What version of TWRP are you running? Not all of them support ADB via USB.
My TWRP version is 2.2.1.4 and the SD card is "general hierarchical". As I know I need a FAT32 card to make it work but I couldn't find a way to format mine. If you know a way to do this than it's also good for me. I also tried a FAT32 pen drive through the keyboard but it - of course - didn't work.

I don't have a card reader and my PC didn't find the card when I tried with a phone having the SD card inside.
Do you think it might work if I format my external hdd to fat32 or the tf 101 won't recognize it?

Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery.
HELP!!
have you tried using super wipe?
it should fix the partitions and if not that have you tried putting it into a computer and formatting it there?
http://www.mediafire.com/?rx2jhzabvlca5ae (Superwipe)
instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9126707&postcount=1
thnx for the fast commet.
but how can i upload this zip into the sd-card?
in recovery mode usb toggle drop it in the sd and flash....
follow the instructions though
or hook it up to the laptop like the normal and copy and paste either one
but i cant load files into the sd card by the computer..
it pluged it to the computer, but its only charge - i cant load files on the sd.
is that with or without an sd adapter?
does your sd show up?
have you tried to repair your sd by recovery...i think its under partition
because i had that problem once...well without the getting stuck screen...what about your nandroids though?

do you have an sdcard reader so you can try useing the card on the computer without the phone if not try taking the card out then going into recovery putting the card back in and then go into recovery again and try to format that worked once for me
ok have you tried formatting on the computer instead of the memory card?
also a friend of mine should be coming on to help in a lil but try to format on the computer...
if not turn off then take out sd card and try again
i've no sdcard reader, ill buy it tomorrow.
ive tried to format sd card in the recovery with no sd card, and than with sd card and it didnt work.
theres another way?
thnx very much to both of you!
hopefully that works man

i think you can format in adb but i have avoided learning adb sorry also if when you format it on the pc that me show that maybe your recovery is messed up could be if iam not wrong
ok i can use adb while the phone plug.
what i should write to format the sd card?
someone knows the command to format the sd card by ADB?
plizz
so your good now right?
I've seen this error elsewhere, but no solution. I'm running PRIME 1.4, want to upgrade to 1.6.
- I used the nvflash method. I re-did this, obviously that didn't work.
- I tried formatting the SD card via Windows and via CWM (which didn't work, because it couldn't mount it...duh). Used the default FAT32 settings to format. For others, this seemed to be the fix.
- I CAN read the SD card on the tablet once booted up regularly. I can also mount the storage on my PC.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
So I tried a different sdcard (8GB, if it matters). No issues. No idea why this worked, so I guess the mystery is unsolved.

Probably partition of your sdcard. Try reformatting it to another format like NTFS or something?

In fact, CWM can't real actual SDcard (dock slot), it read the MicroSD only (the tablet slot)
Try putting the zip at the root of the MicroSD, and launch CWM
For me it´s doing the same - can´t mount SD card. I have microSD card that I have formated into FAT/FAT32/NTFS - nothing worked. I try to put it into SD card adapter and nothing too...
Can someone tell us please, where is the problem??? I have root, flashed cwm 3.0.2.8, standart ROM...

MicroSD needs to be formated into FAT32 and only this format
If you read the post above yours, you would have also seen that the SDcard slot on the dock DOES NOT WORK in CWM

Yes, did this. I wasn't messing around with the dock, just the microSD in the tablet itself. And yes, the .zip was in the root directory--though it's not like I was able to get this far. I was not even able to see the root directory, at all.

Plug it in while android is running, and check if the MicroSD is seen in /removable/MicroSD
If, yes, that's pretty weird. If not, try another MicroSD
I had the mounting issue as well. But I formatted my micro SD card with SD Formatter (I am not allowed to post URL as a new user ), then it can be mounted.
myode is right, use SD Formatter 3.0 will fix your problem.
It use low-level format, where windows format don't.
I came across (i can't remember where exactly) some people swear that by formatting the microsd card in a android phone, the card no longer exhibit abnormal behaviour in the tf101.
I have a faves pad 10.1 model yx10a03, and i'm having trouble with storage.
When I go to settings and storage it says I have total space 0.00, even with an 8gb msd card installed. so I'm thinking the tab has lost all its mount points.
I have tried 6 different micro sd cards as well and none of them seem to be recognized, I get a message " preparing sd card then nothing registers.
What do I do? I can get apps to install , but anything that needs more space like google earth etc fails during install.
Some one help...I can't find a firmware update or a custom rom from anywhere.
Iv'e tried factory data reset, no joy. I need a total system reset but not sure how.

When you connect to your computer or using something like Astro can you see or navigate to the "external" memory card drive?
If I connect it without a Micro sd card inserted I get nothing.
But if I connect the pad to my P.C via usb cable with a Micro sd card in it, it registers as external 8gb drive which I can send files to etc.
If I use astro, it sees that the sd card as a mount but nothing inside. Also doesn't show any size or storage available.
I could do with rooting method and put a custom rom on it but can't find anything about it.

Phone/Tablet inits the device but it's OS (drivers?) can't read the format.

PC recognized the mounted initialized device and can R/W to the (fat32?) format.

Astro (AFAIK) ques the device's I/O system for file spec and info. It (again AFAIK) just sends commands through the Tablet's OS. Kinda like running LS might in IRIX or some other unix.

I have no idea and I'm a total n00b but... I wonder if the Tablet uses a proprietary/virtual FS on the SD card instead of the direct embedded card driver?
Is there anything in the instructions about formatting the card? Did you try to format the card in the tablet yet?
So this would be like when I format an SD card on my Mac... It can no longer be read by any other device until it's re-formatted by a non-mac device... But if mounted by said external device acting as a "card-reader" then the connected Mac can perform I/O normally. Only in this case your tablet is like the mac in that situation. Errr, if that made any sense.
Anyway, try to format the card on your tablet and see if that works.
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

I think you are talking about external sd card. There are many softwares for windows for formatting them.

£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.

hi all,
as stated, i cannot perform any backups.
TWRP only shows internal storage, which is down to ~6000mb.
Micro SD shows 0mb and will not mount.
USB shows 0mb and will not mount.
I am using the latest TWRP 3.0.0.1 i believe.
my external card is a class 10 sandisk 32gb that shows up in windows when i connect my phone via usb.
any helpful advice here?

Just went ahead and reformatted to removable media.
TWRP 3.0.0.1 didn't even load on my cricket version and i had mounting issues with TWRP 2.8.7.... try and find TWRP 3.0.0.0 for this phone if you don't have everything in recovery working (but always save backups where they are safe) and install it or try 2.8.7 for this phone if that doesn't work. 3.0.0.0 works perfect for me.... Good luck!

Thanks man. I tried all three of them. They all worked, but wouldn't recognize external SD card if it was formatted for internal.
Try a different brand or different card and let TWRP format the sd if possible.... I take everything on my sd card and drag it to my computer and try different formats (ext 4 and or fat 32 or exFat) and see what works with your comp and recovery; as well as os
Im having the same issue.
No matter what twrp I use ext sd is 0 cant mount sammy class 10 128 gb
I had this issue on my s5 and had to upgrade twrp to 3.1.1-1 i think but cant find one for cricket idol 3 that works
