[GUIDE] Mount NTFS formatted SDcard with Read/Write Support

Hello,
This is my First thread on XDA
I wasnt sure whether to post it in General Section Or Development Section. So posted it i General Section.
Now its possible to mount NTFS SDcard on our phone
My config:
GLX-R ZCLA1
ardatdat kernel v1.7b1 voodoo
Please test on other ROMS and report below..
Before Proceeding:
Please do this at ur own risk
Steps:
1. Format the sdcard in NTFS using windows.. (Data will be deleted. Dont forget to backup Data)
OR
1. Download EASEUS Partition Manager and use Option "Convert to NTFS" (Data will be saved but still do a backup before formatting)
2. Insert ur NTFS sdcard and start the phone
3. Phone will recognize it as Blank SD card
4. Download The Attached Driver & restart the phone
5. Flash The driver using CWM
6. Start The Phone (Again Phone will recognize it as Blank SD card)
7. Install Terminal Emulator (From Market)
8. Run Terminal Emulator and type the following lines
Code:
su
ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
vold
9. Wait a few Seconds
10. Now SD card will be mounted as NTFS with Read/Write Capability
NOTE:
Steps 8 to 10 must be repeated after rebooting the phone
NTFS card will be recognized by windows but Steps 8 to 10 must be repeated after Using Mass storage mode
Most of the 3rd Party apps recognize ntfs formatted sdcard without any problems
Files Larger than 4GB can be stored
Use app "Gscript Lite" to place shortcut of the script on homescreen
To Automate steps 8-10 on boot use apps like "Autostart" OR "Script Manager"
(I use Script Manager)
[Known Limitations]
1. The "Blank SD Card notifiction Might not disappear, But dont worry ur sdcard will still be mounted as NTFS at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
2. Apps previously loaded on SD Card might Not Work.
3. U wont be able to move app to SD Card ("SD Card is full" error will appear)
4. Stock Video Player dont see files from NTFS ( Use MX Player)
5. Stock Music also dont see files from NTFS ( Use players like TTPod or MyMusicOn)
6. Stock Gallery also dont see files from NTFS ( Use PERFECT VIEWER)
7. Stock Camera will be able to take pictures and record videos, but preview is not possible within the app itself. For that use above alternatives apps
This guide is adapted from here.

Well great, but I have no use for ntfs.

Well, i have 32gb sd card and unable to store files larger than 4gb seriously pisses me off.. so i use ntfs
pudup said:
Just BTW the move to sd card issue can be fixed.

Thats nice... can you please tell me.. because my phone memory will soon be over..

Modify vold file and change asec=disable to enable
May not work. Backup first

It doesnt work.. Its the NTFS driver thats mounting the sd card...vold doesnt even recognises the file system (Hence it says blank sd card)..
pudup said:
You could try using winrar to split up a file and then merge it within the sd. Not sure if that works but it's an idea

Why to do that now... we have ntfs support and it allows us to store files larger than 4gb...

pudup said:
Ah I didn't read through your first post properly. Anyway I'll see there can be another way for movement of apps to sd.

ok.. Plz share as soon as you find it.
pudup said:
As for the winrar thing, I don't wanna go through steps 8-10 every time and so this works for me.

But those steps can be automated using the apps mentioned above..

I really want to do this, but after i formatted the card to NTFS and put it back in my phone i could'nt read anything from the card and when i booted into recovery to flash the zip file, CWM recovery couldn't read the sd card either.
Am i missing something important? If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Does CWM or TWRP recovery support backup/restore on NTFS cards?

[Q] SD card wont show using CWM

Hi
Flashed my Galaxy Note N7000 with STunner 4.2.2 JB rom on NX kernel and the SD card epic saga began.
The rom is awesome in every other aspect but this
A little background:
After flashing the above rom and kernel, the usb transfer speed is too low < 1mb/s (32 gigs class 10 card) so I searched and decided to try multi mount sd. This increased the transfer speed to normal but the phone would reboot midway of transfer. SO multimount sd failed didn't actually fix my problem. Next heard people telling me to transfer files in recovery (CWM):
1. The card mounts in recovery without any error (sdcard and usb storage tried both) but I cannot see it on my pc (Win 7 64 bit)
the card is formatted asd Fat 32 using windows and I have also tried sdformatter for windows (found this suggestion on the forum) but still it doesnt show up on windows ! Is it really that difficult to transfer files onto sdcard via USB ????
Any help on fixing this problem is highly appreciated. My aim is to transfer files via USB onto SD card at normal speed (10-15mbps) and not @ drop dead crawling speed (500kbps to 1mbps). Help people !!!!!!!

Are you finding your device in the device manager? Download the adb package and try to see if your device shows when using the command "adb devices"
It it shows up it is some driver issue.
Unplug the device, uninstall all usb-drivers you can find.
Reboot
and plug in the device again and hope it's working
I have also found out that it's a bit tricky to get working, but with just trial and error you will prevail!

Thanks for he reply mate!
Well here is what I have done and seems to be working finally for USB transfers:
Download and install multi mount SD
Connect USB and mount sd crads using android (Touch to copy files)
Safely remove the mount cards from windows
Unmount USB from android (touch to stop usb storage)
remount sd crads but use multi mount this time
And yes enable the option for the device to stay awake while charging
Thats it getting transfer rates of 20mbps without any problems since then

Card reader not being detected by the PC​ AND​ Why can't my card reader/writer be detected by my PC?​
[FONT="Gar"amond]SOLUTION 1 - Verify if minimum system requirement is met.
SanDisk card readers support Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000 SP4, Windows 7.
[COLOR="Blue"]NOTE:[/COLOR] No additional drivers need to be downloaded for the card readers as they are native to the above mentioned supported operating systems.
SOLUTION 2 - Verify the reader's status under Device Manager.
STEP 1 - Connect the reader to the PC
NOTE: It is recommended that you plug your card reader to the back USB port on your PC to ensure that there is enough power from the USB port for the card reader to be detected properly.
STEP 2 - Check under Device Manager
1. Right-click My Computer.
2. Select Manage.
3. On the left pane, click Device Manager.
NOTE: The card reader will appear in two places: Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controls as USB Mass Storage. If there is a yellow exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) next to the device, try to refresh the drivers.
STEP 3 - Refresh the drivers
1. Right-click the entry with the error mark, select Uninstall.
2. On the top menu, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes.
STEP 4 - Verify if the reader is detected
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. Look for the card reader under Devices with removable storage.
SOLUTION 3 - Try other USB ports.
A yellow exclamation point (!) under Device Manager usually means that the device is not receiving enough power. If the reader is not receiving ample amount of power from the USB port, it may not function properly.
SOLUTION 4 - Change the drive letters
NOTE:The SDDR-89, SDDR-189, SDDR-289 reader should show 4 drive letters under My Computer.[/FONT].

Please confirm that you had done an "eject" SD card from the MAC to unmount the SD card properly. This is the same as "Safe to Remove Hardware" for Windows. If not ejected (unmounted) properly, the next time you use it on another device, it may not be recognisable. If this is the case, simply insert the SD card back to the MAC and then eject it.
Otherwise, you can try re-initialise/re-formatting to FAT32 using software tools. Your phone recognises SD cards formatted in FAT32. If you format it with a MAC, it will not be in FAT32.
First, you can try formatting by using software for for SD cards, SDFormatter 4.0 - download from:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
If that does not work, use a partition manager to re-partition and format to FAT32.

If you have a Mac, use the Disk Utility app (you can find it in the Applications/Utilities folder) for format the SD card.
After doing that you should be able to read and write the card on the phone, Mac or Windows without problems:
1. On your Mac, connect the card
2. Open Mac HD on your desktop
3. Open Applications
4. Open Utilities
5. Open Disk Utility
6. On the left you should see the hard drive listed. It should show the drive size with a second indented line beneath it that shows the volume of the drive.
7. Click "Erase" at the top of the screen.
8. Select MS DOS(FAT) File System for the volume format option.
9. Change the name of the drive if desired.
Click "Erase" at the bottom of the screen. You will get a warning and will need to click "Erase" again.

It doesn't show in disc utility. Cause its internal and won't mount

Is the file size larger 4GB ? Either you sdcard is formatted with Fat32 filesystem with a maximum file size of 4GB per file OR the format is not compatible with MTP. Have you tried connecting the micro sd card to your computer via adapter or cardreader?

This time Yes.. But the error came out even on smaller files exceeding approx.100 MB..
It appears every 2 seconds during the copying process..

You'll have to connect it in another way. Either mount as mass storage instead of MTP OR use a card reader for the micro sd card OR convert the video files to a compatible format.

There is no 'Mass Storage mode'.. But converting video files looks like appealing.. Let me try out that..

O stock rom there is no "mass storage" mode. BUT why don't you connect the micro sd card directly to your computer??

Who does that??
I mean first
1. Open your Phone Cover. (Reduce Life of Cover)
2. Eject SD Card (Increased Risk of Damaging Card)
3. Put it in Card Reader
4. Copy Files with USB 2.0 (No benefit of USB 3.0 support)
5. Put it Back into Phone
6. Close Phone Cover.
and The whole process is time consuming and annoying to me..
Moreover, What you expect from a USD 750 Phone??

Ok i have checked whether it transfers data files other than video files..But no success:crying:. means there in no format related issue at all..

BUT seems to be caused by MTP.

Yes, as i said connect the micro sd card manually instead of using the phone for it.

Its not a fix..its an alternative..

But it's much faster, too. MTP provides lower copying speeds.

Note 3 supports USB 3.0. So MTP is faster than card reader..
Sorry for late reply..

[SOLVED]
I Use Airdroid to transfer files.. and its Fast too..
