Do a full format instead of quick! After, fill it to make sure it wil write to full capacity, then delete the data & try in the tab.
Try SD card formatter

for some reason nothing is working :s
apparently I had to corrupt the SD card before it would correctly modify the partition table. thanks guys

Hello all, just got a new 16gb sd card and wondering how I should set it up. I plan on using bootmanager so I don't know if I need to partition the card or do anything else. Thanks for any advice.

Umm, just incase you have software already on it, but I would pop it in your pc, quick format to fat32, put it in your phone and you should be good to go. Unless you wish to copy over your previous recovery, then do so then install the card in to the handset.

Is formatting to FAT32 the only option for a phone? I ask because there is a transfer limit on FAT32 (around 4gb) and none on NTFS. I discovered this while trying to transfer a 6gb movie to my 32gb card. Anyone know if I can reformat to NTFS and have no ill effects?
I think for most ROMs it needs to be fat32. I was looking into formatting it to ext4, but I have not tried it yet.

I'm pretty sure if you format it to NTFS, your phone won't recognize it.
I suppose you could try it -- it shouldn't hurt anything.
FAT32 is the correct format for it.

Hmm, I guess tonight I can try but I'm thinking you're probably right. That blows. What I was trying to do was take good quality movies and convert to 3D..Which makes for around a 6gb file..no good if I can't get it on the phone tho. Whole reason I got the 32gb card. Guess I'll have to get some more music, lol
You shold try the ntfs.

I've been installing apps on my 16GB SD card, but just noticed that only 116MB of it are being recognized. So, I know I need to format it. My question is, can I just copy everything that's currently on it to my PC, format it, and then copy everything back?
Thanks!

May I also suggest using SD Format to format. Windows format has sometimes not formatted uSD well. If you are only seeing 116MB you might use EASEUS to ensure the whole disk is available to you.
Both utilities are free and quite useful!
Thanks! And I did plan on using SD Format.
Hey all,
Last friday i wanted to place some MP3's on the MicroSD-card in the phone, 16GB. Something went wrong (Phone shutted down) and since then the MicroSD-card isn't recognized by the phone.
If i place another MicroSD-card in the phone it works with no problems.
The MicroSD that doesn't work in the phone, does work in windows with an SD Adaptar... I formatted the card (FAT 32), won't work... Resetted my phone... won't work... I can use the card in windows normally, it writes and reads data like any other card... but my phone just won't recognize it...
Anyone has some idea?
Can you format card by insterting it into phone and then format in Storage settings?

I formatted the bad MicroSD multiple times in Windows using Minitool Partition... It says its fat32, cmd chkdsk says its fat32... I can put content on the microsd and use the content.
But the phone won't recognize it.. It's a 16gb card and if the phone does not recognize it, i can't format it... It's like he phone doesnt even know there is an microsd inserted...
A 4gb MicroSD doea work on the phone...

mayb u can try it from a friend of urs in case they have 1
I will try if i have someone with such a card... In the mean time wouldnt it be possible to make two 8GB partitions? Or 4 GBs?
If i make it an NTFS-card? Will it ask to reformat? If the phone can actually see the card... Sigh..

Didn't work... it's like the phone has turned off the SD-Card reader when inserted with that card
It's being checked on reading errors in windows..... but so far 0..
Well... no problems found..
I checked the info of the SD-cards.. changed the serialnumber of the one not working to the one working.. i also tried to change it to change the partition ID but that does not work.. it doesnt get changed..
Try this : insert SD card, go to settings, storage, and mount SD card.

I was just gonna say, if you have cwm you can format it from there. That's actually how I fixed one of my bricked SD cards. Only cwm could format it. Partition mini tool said bad disk.
Also try this from terminal or adb:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 and see what it says.

You can connect your phone on your pc and format sd card. Otherwise try system->storage. There should be something about microsd card too mate.
i dont have the format option in storage (maybe becuse im on CM) and i didnt understand how to do it in pc

When you plug on your phone to your pc, go computer. You should see the microsd if i am not wrong.
Does your pc has SD Card Reader?

cwm was the easiest solution, but i wanted to help you backup your data, that's why i told you connect to the pc.
Everything works fine now mate?

64GB SD is not longer Working
Suddenly I have a big problem with my 64GB SD.
Can no longer access it.
I tried it on Android and Win 10 but without success.
Even reformatting is neither Android nor under Win10 (Windows format SD format, Paragon and Minitool Patition Wizard)
Does anyone have an idea ??
Regards Klaus

Are you trying to access it while it is being attached to the phone or are you using an adapter to read the sd card on your computer. It could be corrupted or damaged.

Have tried both. Now I have it. Also with Linux and Apple tried but so far without success
It is always shown me the same - 3 partitions 24.6 GB from 58.9 GB free.

So lets elaborate what's happening, the sd card can be detected, but it can no longer be accessed right? It is in read-only mode right? By any chance was it encrypted by your phone or did you manipulate any permissions that caused your sd card not to work? Have you tried scanning for drive errors?
Thank for your quick answer.

If you cannot achive to access after formatting from Windows by using Mini Partition Tool, I think your sd card is dead by hardware not software. Sory :crying:
So now I have bought a new SD and from the old one I can still use 28GB.
Many thanks for your help.

I am still trieing to fix the SD Card.
I can see the SD Card and the Folders in TWRP Recover Menu.
And some of the subfolder are broken like Dir name like !?$ยง...
When I try to delete the Direktories or to format the whole SD Card i always the same Error message:
***
E:Unknown mtp message type 1
E: rm -rf %sdcard" process end with write error =1
***
It is the second time that my SD Card makes trouble (the first time SANDisk changed the card)
so I try to find out what is wrong and how can I fixed it.
