Hi,
i just bought my gf a samsung evo 128gb sd card for her Nokia 5.3. At first it said its damaged and the formatting in android didnt do anything. So then i tried to use PC and saw that there was no file system at all, but even after formatting it it didnt work. Then i tried using adb to force it to format which kinda worked.

I read online both to use the id you get from list-disks aswell as those you get from list-volumes.
What did work was the volume id (179,64). However using "sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 90" was the highest number that worked, since sm partition disk:179,64 private" didnt work at all. The device simply didnt recognize the sd anymore.
And even now the device claims that most of the storage is already being used, despite the card still being empty.
What can i do to fix it and have the entire sd as internal storage??
When a SD-card is accepted as adoptable storage, the Android OS deletes the contents and writes a GUID partition table that defines two partitions:
A small empty android_meta partition reserved for future use. The GUID of the partition type is 19A710A2-B3CA-11E4-B026-10604B889DCF.
A large android_ext partition encrypted with dm-crypt and formatted with either ext4 or f2fs depending on kernel capabilities. The GUID of the partition type is 193D1EA4-B3CA-11E4-B075-10604B889DCF.

Hi,
After months of near perfect operation (HTC Desire running LeeDroid 3.0.8.2) my phone's SD card (Kingston 16GB Class 10) card all of a sudden became read only.
This had happened a couple of times in the past and after a chkdsk run the corrected file entries are fixed and the card is back to normal.
This time round even though there where a couple of fixes the rooted phone would not boot.
Since I had a ClockworkMod backup form a few days before I tried a restore. The restore process would start running, but then stop with an error that it was unable to format the sd-ext partition.
After a number of trials (and products) I used the gParted live CD to repartition the SD card. Even though gParted reports that is has correctly created the Ext3 partition when it refreshes it does not recognise the partition.

Is this normal and how can I determine if the card is dead?
Thank you in anticipation.
Update:
I loaded the card into MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and within this program the card (formated by gParted) is determined correctly. A Surface test of this partition returns that it is OK (screen shot: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/cZ2ET1Oz_3Df2geaE3rcM9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink),
I'm updating the progress of trying to restore the phone (without success).
The check of the Fat32 partition also returned no errors.
I now tried importing a prior backup. The photo at https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/__OUgtNbfs72dM_5L8ynztMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink (not clear) shows the progress of the restore.
The last two lines read as follows:
Formatting sd-ext...
Error while formatting /sd-ext!
Thankis.
I have a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSD HC-I card that I use in my Transformer Infinity tablet as a storage device. I had it setup as (1) 32 Gig FAT32 partition.
Well I messed around with the partition on it the other day and it no longer would work. I decided to just wipe the stick and create a new 32 GB FAT32 Partition.
The thing is, now all (partition) tools I have used says it is only a 30 MB stick and in a "RAW" format !!???
I have tried:
Windows 7 (64bit) Drive Manager and get this this result:
.
Code:
[B]C:\Users\John>chkdsk /X /F S:
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.[/B]

I know the sectors must be messed up. I have tried a Low Level Format but it just tells me that 30MB is to small to Low Level Format.
What can I do to make the 32 Gig micro stick show up as 32 Gig (fat32) not 30 MB ??
Please help if you can.... I will try anything. I do not have Linux installed, but supose I could if needed.
Thanks !!!

Hi, i had the same issue.
My phone ran too hot and shut down on its own.
After that my mini sd was displaying only 30mb.
Nothing helped and i replaced it under warranty.
Recently I noticed that Asus tf300t receives 4.2 update. I download, and use twrp 2.3 to flash system. While, sad things happen. I can't get into system so I press volume down + battery , there I cant find a USB icon, and when I get into TWRP, it required me ****ing password. I swear to God I never ever set up one. And, much more sad, I can't fond any files using install.

I know there are big apples, I really need ur HELP now. Anyone, plz give me some suggest
ions.
TWRP in this thread did the trick for many. Take a look.
Another thing that could work would be a factory reset in twrp. I used 2.4.4.0. I had that same problem, and a factory reset ended up fixing the issue
For those that have updated to 4.2.1 (bootloader) and are now unable to mount: cache, data, external sd card etc.. in recovery.
TWRP (2.4.4.0 or below) & CWM (all) will not be able to mount these partitions. You need the modified TWRP for 4.2.1
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp421.blob
download link can be found here
Cards that may not work on modified TWRP for 4.2.1
sandisk 64gb micro SDXC class 10 (not sure if this is size, type or class issue)
Working cards
sandisk 8gb micro SDHC class 4

Hi, i updated my moto G to MM
now i am stuck with this problem..
if i select my SD card as Portable storage after formatting .. i can use my SD card,
else
if i select my SD card as internal store, its Formatting then its moving 5 gb for more than 6hours, i observed that after 53% of moving its again starting from 20% is looping there only
so, i felt it would be better to Factory data reset : so that it wont have any files to move .. is it going to help ??
i mad this thread because Factory reset is taking long
Things i tried :
tried putting my SDcard into my Lumia 730,to check if its working or not ,
[
1) if formatted as portable storage then Lumia 730 is recognizing my memory card , but data writing is giving me error.
2) if formatted as Internal storage, then in lumia its showing as 15mb free
]
i tried recording and transfering files when used as Portable storage in my Moto G, its working fine
i also checked if SD card is really working with an app,

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the result
For the record : i am using Samsung 16gb Evo class 10
Connect it to pc...via adapter.
And full format ...then reset phone and insert card.
Hi guys,
I am pretty new in devices with expandable storage. I recently added one to my Z3 and I'd like to know if I can rename its name. I tried use Rename on Root Explorer, but it failed.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there's no way to change the "folder name" of the sd-card within android.
It's not like this is the name of the sd card like in windows etc. as android generates a path
to a mount point of said sd card and the name is generated from the sd card serial number / UUID (at least since marshmallow).
Changing this mount point could lead to a bad outcome as all links to the mount point wouldn't work
anymore and apps would literally "serach" in the wrong place for the sd card.
