[Q] SC card problem after ROM change

I have SE X10 and 8gb microsd sdhc class 4. Tried 5-6 different ROMs and every time have same problem. After installing ROM from Xrecovery, phone does not recognise SD card, it can only be seen in stock Android. Right after I restore stock OS from recovery it is working again like a charm.
So does anyone have any idea what can be wrong here?
Btw i have 1gb micro SD, and it is working flawlessly with any ROM.
I already tried to find sollutin on X10 forum but didnt have any sucess, so I am trying here.
thanks in advance

[Q] SD Card AFTER installing ROM

Once I install the ROM on my Transformer, can I take the SD card out and leave it out?
I am not a noob, I did search these forums and others before posting this and could not find an answer...
On my old WinMo devices, the ROM actually ran from the SD card... I am not sure of the newer Android devices and don't have another card for my tablet...
Your TF does not need a micro SF card to operate so yes you can take it out.
It's not a bad idea to have one in to make nandroid backup ect.

Sony Xperia L + MicroSD Card - Problem?

Hello. I have this smartphone since couple of days. Today I bouht a microSD Card TDK 16GB. The phone found the card, but I was unable to read or write on the card. I tried the card with MicroSD Card Reader and the card worked fine. I also tried to put my old MicroSD Card from my old phone on the Xperia L. The old card is Apacer 8GB with two partitions. The first is for storage and the second is for Applications linked with Link2SD. The Xperia L found only the second partition (for the apps), but I was able to write on the card and also read from it. I tried to format the new MicroSD Card from Windows and from the phone - no results. Then I updated the phone from PC Companion. There was a new firmware, I think. The Android version is the same 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The SD stared to work on the phone. I can read and write on the card. I decided to install iGo navigation. All ok, but when I put the maps on, the application starts to crash and says, that there is an error in the maps. The maps however work fine, because I have tested them on my older phone. Then I installed iGo on the internal memory of the phone (SDCard0 - that are saying ES File Explorer and Astro File Manager for the Internal Memory and the SD Card is SDCard1) and the Navigation now is working fine. Is there a problem with the phone or with the MicroSD Card? Separately they both work fine. I tried the MicroSD Card with other files - music, pictures, videos - all is working fine, but I have problem with the Navigation. What do you think? Is there a problem somewhere? Why I can't run iGo from the MicroSD Card? Is this a Software or a Hardware problem? Is the problem from the Phone or from the MicroSD Card? Is there a problem at all?

I have heard that older versions of firmware had issues with some cards and do not have the latest.
I'm using the latest and I have no problem with any card.
You are using version 15.0.A.2.17?
If not install it and see if the problem persists.
I found out, what was the problem with the iGo and the MicroSD Card. I tried GTA Vice City too. I need Root to be able to move the files from the internal memory to the SD Card. Now however I have another BIG problem. With the new firmware 15.0.A.2.17 I have the Walkman player problem. With the older I didn't have this problem. Now the player can't play proper the songs. I tried all. The tipp from Sony : Deleting the songs, format the SD Card from the phone, copy the songs - no results. I also tried to put the songs on the internal memory - same problem. I reseted the phone from PC Companion and the problem is still on. Any solutions for that?
Strange that.
I have no problem with the Walkman. Have you tried flashing the firmware for FlashTool?
Could you help me on one thing, you would have an MHL adapter with an HDMI cable to test the Xperia L is able to be passed the image to tv?
15.0.A.2.17 firmware fixed Class 10 SD card problem for me.
You can also try to format the card on another phone. I did it with my SGAce and it works! I also formatted in XL just in case, but it recognised the card after the Ace formatting.

wait did you just say that you were able to write on your sd card so is that equivalent of moving apps from internal storage to a sd card because I am not able to do that the thing is I have a xperia l and i just bought a kingston 16 gb sd card the phone reads that there is an sd card .... it also allows me to transfer pictures and videos and music ..... actually it forces me to do it cuz my phones internal storage is too low but i can not move apps into it. So can you please help me out ive no idea why this is not working and if you have an xperia l and you are using a sd card please help me out.

Seems like the problem is with the phone, try resetting it or better reinstall the firmware via Xperia Companion.

But from Android, my MicroSD cards in exFat (all my cards) are corrupt. I've check from PC all my card are working fine.
I think the problem is MM with exFat, I try Fat32, its work.
Can you help me please ?Hi luxmen
After rooting I found the same problem . I tried formatting on phone on Windows through card reader and again through cmd also through card reader and got the same result. I managed to get my old Xperia M2 back and reformatted which cured problem on the card in question [I reformatted using XA and problem returned].
I have seen on another post in XDA when formatted on another brand of phone this wouldn't work either.

Question ROM (10) Suzu AOSP stable on xperia x 5121 does not support my sd card?

My greetings to all,
I have a problem regarding the android 10 AOSP ROM on my xperia x (suzu).
I installed the ROM and everything is working fine if I can say it like that. Except my problem is the Sd card which is not supported. And he asks me to format it. What I did with a message which subsequently states that I can use my card now on the phone. Except that I still have nothing, not even a trace of the SD card in the file manager. Could you help me? I really like this ROM and would like to keep it. If there is a possible solution, please help me. I am attaching some screenshots to messages I got with the SD card. I also specify that to flash the ROM I have to send everything on the SD card and use TWRP to flash it. The SD card shows up well on my computer and the Oreo 8.0 Stock ROM on the phone itself. I have to format the SD card in Fat32, exFat, Ntfs but still nothing. I tell myself that maybe it is the ROM which does not accept the sd card. Ah yes I was going to forget, to flash the ROM, I used the kernel of android 9 pie and I don't have another SD card to check if it works or not with another. I also admit that I am not too good at handling. I just came across a tutorial here that I followed(rom-10-suzu-aosp-stable) . Thank you and sorry for taking so long.
