I recently got a 32 gb micro sd for my view, I just finished formatting it on my pc. I used a fat32 format, not sure if thats totally the right file system, but found a few people that used it. Anyway, the tablet recognizes the card but the camera can't save to the sd card and when i goto gallery it just says insert sd card.

I am new and have searched and found out how to flash a ROM, BUT I am not clear on some things. How can I tell if my SD card is fat32, and how do I flash a new ROM using vista, I need detailed instructions step by step because I cant afford to screw up my phone but I definately want to get everything out of it possible. Pease dont bash me I am willing to speak to someone over the phone to make it easier if willing. Thanks in advance!

Put your card in a card reader and connect it to a PC. Once Windows sees the drive. right-click on it in "My Computer" and choose "Properties" (I believe that this is similar in Vista). It should tell you what type of partition your card has under "File system:" (FAT or FAT32). If its FAT32, you're golden. If its not, you can right-click and choose "Format", and make sure you choose FAT32 as the partition type.
You have to plug your card into your PC. When it shows up as an external drive... simply right click and select properties. Vista should tell you how the card is formatted. If it's FAT16, then copy yer data off and format the card FAT32. Then copy data back and yer ready to start.

Honestly, if you don't know how to check the format of your card (or re-format it), you might not want to start flashing your phone yet.

If you are able to connect to you PC via USB connection, you will see you phone show up when you click My Computer or Computer (eg as HTC_P4600). Click the phone and you'll see 2 drives: "\" and Storage Card.
Right click the Storage Card and choose properties. I will show you under File System whether it is FAT32 or not.
Alright if I use activesync to flash does the SD card still need to be fat32 beacuse I tried formatting it and it is stating it is "write protected" and wont let me.

**Warning** I suggest you read the post above yours. Be very careful on what you are doing to your device if you don't know what to do.....
when I explore the card while in the phone it states it is fat32 so I guess I am ok with that. NOw I will flash a ROM using activesync

Note that HardSPL may not be enough if you are trying to flash to a ROM from a different device like Diamond, Touch HD.
You may need Security Unlock.
I highly suggest you read this thread about flashing, CID and Security Unlock.
microSD format
How big is your microSD card? If it's greater than 2 GB then it's fat32.
You really need to do a lot of reading before you even consider flashing your phone! Start with the sticky posts at the top of this forum. You don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight!
Well whn on the tricolor screen it is running 1.90 OliNex after the hardspl, and I downloaded the ROM I want to flash, took out my SD and sim, next I was going to sync with USB wait till activesync is running and follow the rest of the directions. sounds simple enough, I am computer friendly but I am a facilitator,trainer, and instructor so I like to know every little step possible to make sure everything is covered like I do for my classes, thats all.
I believe this has been covered in different ways, just wondering if this sounds like a device fault.
Took the 1gb microSD out of my work blackberry (was working fine) and put it in my atrix....not recognized. Pressed the clip down a little, still not recongized. Rebooted, not recognized, not option to mount or format in settings.
Any thoughts? I know the card is good.

phone was purchased just after release, end of February. is this something I should expect to be replaced under warranty from ATT?
I skimmed through the general thread and FAQ and couldn't find anything on this, so I figured I'd post this!
I didn't have a smaller SD card and figured nothing bad could happen, so just used my 32GB SD card and it boinked out. Thought it was done for...until today! Here's how I got it to work.
1. Make sure you have your SD card in your phone.
2. Boot into your recovery (I used TWRP and haven't tested this on Amon Ra.)
3. Mount your USB storage and go to "My Computer" to view your storage drives.
4. Your SD card should pop up as a Removable Disk that has no info. Simply format the drive, reboot into your ROM, and bam! Fully working SD card
If anyone can test this in Amon Ra and let me know if it worked, be much appreciated, thanks!
easiest way is this:
do your s-off. boot into amon ra. goto the options and format the SD card right then and there.
you're supposed to always format the card right after S-oFF, or else the slot tends to not work right or something. this is pretty much why they said to try to use an extra backup card instead of using your own personal one, so ya don't have to lose everythin
Whoops, just realized I posted this to development lol. Sorry to any mod, if you could please move it.

I couldn't even get S-Off to work, lol. I tried for about 30 minutes and ended up with a "dead" SD card. My recovery didn't even see my SD card, I just mounted my USB storage for S&Gs to see what would happen.
Something I find that really helps as well is to make sure you don't flash the Gingerbread hboot when using the S-OFF program. I didn't think it would, but it did manage to give me SD card issues until I flashed a proper ICS hboot.
I'm only mentioning this because after I S-OFFed and got the SD card issues, formatting it did nothing at all to fix the problem. Only after I got the right hboot did everything finally start working again.

The method I posted. Just went into recovery, mounted USB storage and formatted my card from Windows. The only downside is that formatting can ruin an SD card...but it's not much to worry about if the card isn't working, anyway =p

formatting can ruin an SD Card? please elaborate. i format SD cards all the time.
I've had a few where the format went "bad" due to some reason and rendered the SD card completely useless. Same has happened to a few people I know and have read of the issue before. I didn't mean that to say "Formatting your SD card enough will ruin it" lol.

I just unmounted mine in Android and formatted it with Windoze. Then I formatted it again in Android. I've corrupted SD Cards all kinds of ways. It's real easy to do if you get stupid with the overclocking/undervolting. I've formatted the 32 gig I first got for my BlackBerry 9630 a few dozen times. It's still as reliable as any other SD Card I have. Better than some, in fact. The only real good way to format a solid state memory device is to write zeros to it. If not, NAND (which your SD Card is) device write cycles can take twice as long.
guys i tried all the format methods listed above still no luck, windows states its a raw format with 0 mb available

If you didn't already try this,
There is a command line tool called "diskpart" which comes with windows. You have to use command prompt. Open command window and type "diskpart" . It is used to partition disks and external hard drives. It might be useful. I haven't used it much because I'm on linux. Just give it a shot.

Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am.
Was using my phone and my Samsung 64GB class 10 Micro Sdcard "ejected" although it was still in the phone. It had been working fine for a week. I manually ejected and placed it back in but it will not read. I get the "Scanning/Preparing SD card" Message but it always says unavailable. Thinking that my card crapped out on my, I put a brand new Kingston class 10 64 GB sd card but experiencing the same results. Oddly enough, I have an old Class 10 Transcend 8GB card that will read. I am running the stock OS-Unlocked Boot/Rooted/S-off. Only mods I have done are flashing the released HTC kernel that is R/W. (Dont know if I need to reflash the one that came with the phone), and flashed the SD card write fix posted in this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310
Anyone know where I can get the stock ATT kernel that may have the correct drivers for ext sd? Any suggestions?

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have a SD card reader on my laptop and it recognized the card just fine but if I put the card in the phone and plug in the phone to computer via USB, it will NOT recognize/see the card.
Im pretty sure it is a software issue. Does anyone have access or a link to the stock ATT kernel/boot.img?? I'd like to troubleshoot but forgot to make a back up before I flashed the R/W kernel released here. Thanks.
Doesnt matter if the sdcard reader sees it fine in windows, your more than likely going from windows to android, try what I suggested. If the card is not formatted @fat32 it will not be read in phone...

Maybe I forgot to mention it but both cards are FAT32 formatted. Also, the samsung card was working just fine for a week before these issues started happening.

Went to try and reformat them again and am getting some weird results.
If i plug them directly into the computer with an adapter and use SDFormat to format them, then the M8 will read the cards? However, it only reads half the amount of memory (30gb) and I do not have an option within SDFormat to change the size. Since M8 now reads the card, I went to format it within the storage settings and once that completes, it no longer recognizes the card...?? Not sure how that is possible unless the phone is reformatting the card to a format it does not recognize..?
Use sdcard reader on laptop format fat32,set it to default size...it varies on different cards, 4 kb 8kb 16kb etc...

Went to try and reformat them again and am getting some weird results.
If i plug them directly into the computer with an adapter and use SDFormat to format them, then the M8 will read the cards? However, it only reads half the amount of memory (30gb) and I do not have an option within SDFormat to change the size. Since M8 now reads the card, I went to format it within the storage settings and once that completes, it no longer recognizes the card...?? Not sure how that is possible unless the phone is reformatting the card to a format it does not recognize..?

Thanks for the continued assistance. I have done this but still only have Half of the advertised memory. When I first installed it out of the box, it worked and showed full memory (62gb). Also, the default windows formatting tool will render the card unreadable by the M8 so im using the program called SDFormatter. Seems like I'm running in circles so I guess I'll just deal with half the memory for now. At least it works.

Use above instructions to remove all partitions from sd card. Insert into phone it will prompt you about it being damaged and ask if you want to format it. Answer yes.
If you still continue to have issues, it is most likely a hardware issue.

Thank you guys for the help!
I tried using the above fix (disk part) but it didnt even recognize the device. L0ng story short. I was able to use BOOTICE to reformat my KINGSTON Sd card to 60 GB but my samsung only reads 30 (even though it is advertised as 64) I read that when you reformat some Samsung cards, there is a protected area that most generic formatting utilities can overwrite and render the card to half capacity. Not sure if that's the case but oh well. Got it the other card to work. Thanks so much guys! Now if I can figure out why the phone isn't turning on now.....
