no. CWM doesn't recognize exFAT
And yet I can flash off internal or external SD and I have the exact ad card described.
i do flash stuff from the external exfat formatted 64 gb sandisk micro sd card in CWM... no problems here

I really want to know how.
Are you sure you formated your SD as exFat?
So I went ahead and flashed the clemsys 1.7 with data2sd I have an 8 gig class 4 card that has fat32(512megs) and ext2(the rest) and this card works great. BUt when I do a 32 gig and load my zips on it TWRP wont even recognize it. Am I partitioning the ext2 the wrong size?
hi all,
I've been trying using my 64gb sandisk sd card for about 4days or so the problem i have come across in the CWM 6.0.1.2, it wont mount External sd card nor it would read that card whilst in recovery mode
Now i dont know whether its suppose to be like this or the CWM doesn't support or maybe there is something wrong with my Sd card?
I just need little help to fix this issue
Cheers
None had this problem?

How did you format the card? It is a known issue that ExFat Formatting on 64G cards will NOT work on the SGSIII and you have to format your card as Fat32.
Try and format the card on your computer as Fat32 and it should work.
It's because the 64gb sandisk is formatted by default as exFat, which is not supported by CWM
The only solution to this is to remformat the card, probably at fat32 as this is the most widely used but BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA FROM extSD FIRST!! as reformatting will wipe the card
Then CWM will recognise this as normal
Mind you fat32 does have its disadvantages, mainly that you won't be able t have a single file bigger then 4gb on it
eh more than 4gb? then whats point of having 64gb SDcard?
i didnt know that was issue with the s3 will there be exFat support in CWM? its really frustrating
Thanks for replies
It's not an issue with the S3 I believe, it's just CWM -no idea if it will be updated to support it though :S
The 4gb thing only means that any one file cannot be bigger then 4gb e.g. you couldn't have a movie file that is 4.5gb in size.
Really it's no problem to have it as fat32 unless you have seriously big files

It is unknown at this time if ExFat will be properly supported but I would assume that at some point it may be. Also, just in case you dont already know, The SGSIII is NOT capable of moving apps to the ExtSD card natively either so if that is one of the reasons you bought such a big card, I hate to "bring you down".
There are some methods to switch your internal and external SD cards to assist in this issue but you will have to search and read the threads to find out the methods.
Just so you know...
yeah i know that i just backup using appcontrol and then move them to exSD
thats quite helpful i didnt know all this else i'd have not given up my 32gb card its quite lame TBH!
cheers for the help least i wont keep formatting my sd card now lol

No problem...
I have a 32 GB sd card.. and I want to flash a custom rom.. some of them says that I have to format my SD card to fat32 if you have a 64GB card. DO I have to do this since I have 32? If yes, how do I format it to fat32 (sorry being a noob)

No you don't need to. I do however have mine as fat32.
To format it you need to insert it in a pc and right click the card name and format.
I have no luck with the Jedi roms and sdcards. They say to reformat the card with a particular fat32 block size..but I have a feeling that is what killed my sdcard. I have been using jelly bean swap kernel with a 64gb sdcard with no problems thus far (knock on wood)
