Android does not support NTFS, so unless you want to make a custom kernel with the drivers built in, it's not going to happen. Sorry.

The phone doesn't natively recognise ntfs. If your phone is rooted and the kernal your using supports ntfs then you get it to recognise ntfs. Though it's not an automatic process you have to run a script to mount the drive then another one to dismount it. Took a bit of faffing but my phone now recognises an external ntfs flashdrive Check this thread out:

Is there any kernels out there now that do support ntfs?

Hello xda members. I have a problem with my sd card. Tried to repartition in cmw and something went wrong. Now I can only connect sd card to computer is to mount in recovery. Also it shows that sd capacity is 2.9gb instead of 4gb. I cant transfer any files to sd card because they didisappears. I have searched in forums, tried everything, nothing helps:crying:. Please help me
Format the sd card and start again. Don't mess with partitioning this time.
already formatted with fat32. Doesn't work

As a rule of the thumb please don't use CWW for partitioning your sd card as it cause errors. Try a tool called minitool. Use it to repartition your sd card with your card reader and computer. Then format it to FAT 32 file system. Hope it works for you !

The official organizaction that designates the SD card standards has a tool for formatting SD cards called SD Formatter which can be found here https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/. Make sure select the full format option.

Maybe there is hidden corrupted partition and some programs cannot see it. In recovery I can't mount sd ext. Maybe problems are with this partition?

Another suggestion would be to try using the gparted disk partitioning utility if you have linux you can download it from here gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php or use a live CD/USB version of it http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php.

As long as you just reformat the SD card and not any of your other hard drive partitions it will not harm your computer.

I use EaseUs professional edition for my PC, but they have a freeware version you could try for your SD card: I can't post links yet, but if you search google for EaseUS Partition Master home edition, you should find the link to download it.

Make sure under the bios setup options you have CD as first boot device rather then the hard drive this should allow you to boot the gparted live CD.

There is at least a loss of 800 MB. Using mini tool see if there are unused space. Try these steps:
1) First of all delete all the entire existing partitions .
2) Then create a single partition .
3) Perform a full low level format using FAT 32 file system.
4) See if this works otherwise your sd card has got bad sectors which might be unrecoverable even using scandisk

Hey guys, I just flashed over to jellybam and so far its pretty tight. The only issue I came across was my camera. Everytime I hit the icon to bring it up it says that I have no sd card and closes me right out of it. I am currently using a 8gb sd that is fine and not sure what the issue is.
advice?
fyi: i am running s-on
You might try formatting the sd card.

Yeah, back the files up on your pc/laptop. In storage options, it'll allow you to format the SD Card.

Hi guys i want to format my micro sd card 32GB class 10 from Gskill.
So the question is initially it had FAT32 as its file system format i think so should i stick to that or use one of the following EXFAT or EXT4 ?
What are the advantages and disadvantages if any? Thanks.
Exfat will stop it working on some custom roms (possibly all) completely.
Ext 4 will completely prevent windows seeing it, fat 32 is the completely universal format and should be fine unless you are using single files 4GB and over.

Hi,
I have rooted my phone a week back and flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 with JB 4.2.2 which is running great on my device. I was looking forward to buy a new 32 gb sd card. The problem is that currently when I download a torrent file that is more than 4 GB, the ttorrent app shows an error notifying that the limit of Fat32 is 4 GB only. I know that but while formatting with ntfs, the device is not able to recognize the card. Is there any solution for it?
You can format your external SD card with ext4 which does not have this limitation and CyanogenMod already supports ext4 formatted SD cards.

Cyanogenmod supports ext4 but what about stock 4.1.2?
I saw same utils for ext4 on /system so it will work on stock?

It will not work on stock. Because, it automatically formats the SD card, if recognizes that it's formatted with anything other than FAT32.

thanx for responses
I did not know that I had to change from mtpo to usb mass storage for formatting. I did it in NTFS and voila the phone is recognizing it. May be the cyanogen developers have added support for ntfs too
Yup, it seems
