Hi
Apologies, but I'm having a little difficulty. I just bought a 64 GB sandisk card, and had reformatted it in my SGS2. It recognises 59GB OK. That is not the issue.
I am trying to copy my 32GB card (about 29GB full) using my Windows 7 PC into a folder on my desktop. Then I was going to copy entire contents onto 64GB card and insert in SGS2.
But it just won't do it. Windows just doesn't seem to be built for shifting around that volume of data.
What am I doing wrong?
You have to so be doing something wrong i have copied even more than that before without any issues.
do a search and see what you come up with.
Download Teracopy and install. A million times better than the standard file transferring in windows. Will allow you to see where the copy failed and retry anything that failed to copy. Also won't stop the file copy when one fails, will skip that file and continue copying.
How is the card formated. Windows wont allow a single file bigger than 4gb if its FAT32. You have to use other programs.

His 32gb existing card would be fat32, so i doubt that's the problem.

Where did you get you're 64gb card, how much was it?

I think what s2sd is impling that you might have a fals sd card with a boot loop crack installed on it.
You can test the card for this, have a lot at this site:http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
It happend to me aswell, even paying a normal amount for the card
To check for fake cards, try the SDCardTester app (free from Android Market). There's also a Windows app, h2testw, that works similarly.

I am having a problem moving pictures or videos, or any file for that matter, from internal storage to my SD card. I have an ATT i527 rooted. It goes through the motions, then gives an error message saying paste error, unable to paste. Or I get another message saying unable to move. I've tried Google searches for this and haven't gotten anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. If this is even possible to do. Thanks a lot for any info.

Can you try to change your SD card and add another SD card ?
If you look it's working with another SD card then i think it is your SD card problem... Check it..

Try to reformat your sd card first before transfering a file.

Sometime i see just not only need format for solving that. But also some time they should not give transferring. I think SD card is only for one time useable. So i think buy new one is better than reformatting..

Too expensive for buying another one and better you try first formatting before buying.

okay.. fine decision. But i think it must be spend your time..
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?
Copy what you have on the sdcard to computer and format fat32 then retry card in phone

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.
Im still searching for the stock att kernel.
Ok did you reformat and try them again?

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...

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.

Ive never had a card unreadable after a format in windows...lol...something new to me...usually what Ill do is format in windows then reformat on phone....Justa as an after thought have your done a Backup & Reset,then hit reset all data on the phone with the sdcard in it?...may be worth a try...

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.....
Hi, I recently reverted from KK rom to stock 2.3.3. There is a strange problem only with files on microSD. I copy files on it but at first reboot the media scanning tells me card problem (broken?). If I don't restart the files are generally played!!! I try different sd and different method of format. Any suggestion???

If you've not done a /data wipe after downgrading, that can be an issue. Else, copy the files of your sd to your PC and then format it on your galaxy player.

That's already done!!! It's a strange problem only on reboot, it report mSD as damaged. But I can format and insert data normally just fine before reboot!

The problem is that I sell the player, I always used a Sandisk 32GB with no problem. Now the buyer tell me that there is this problem with a Samsung! Thank you, I'll suggest a sd exchange... maybe a speed class compability....
I have the same problem with my sandisk 32 GB card and found out that it was the problem.
Update SanDisk will replace the card so as long as you have it. I wrote a review on it. Just let it update though.

Nope, I have to buy new one. I have been using my card for 2 years. The card performance have been degraded due to extensive read and write, after reading your sugestion I tested the card using software called "AOMEI partition manager" and the result are degraded performance due to extensive read and write.
For information to other people with same problem; I use "persyst.sys.vold.switchexternal" mod/workarround to swap galaxy player limited storage with my 64 Gb card. This mod make the card work very very hard and degrade card performance.
Hope this information will help other people with same problem.
I have micro sd card hc 32 gb class 10 I tried to format it using my phone but the phone keeps unmounting then erase then it doesn't work then i tried to remove files or replace it the files are removed and it ruturn by it self so I removed micro sd card from my phone and tried on windows (regular foromat and diskpart) also same error also i tried on linux it couldn't be foromated on gparted
Sounds like it might be time for a new card...
One last tool that I try with stuff like that is this: http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/

I use HPUSBDisk.exe which I cant add as an attachment, but google it, I found it here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml
Download it, then right click/run as administrator. Always works for me.
Hello
I done a TWRP back up to me sd card and when i restarted my phone it said the sd card was unsupported or blank. I put the sd card into my PC and ran chkdsk. Chkdsk says it raw format and not supported. I tried testdisk which found no partitions and photorec witch found no data.
The computer takes about 2 minutes to realize the sd card was plugged in. My computer takes a further 5 mins to display the drive. Both testdisk and photorec take about 5-10mins to show the sd card in their menus. Disk management takes 1 hour to 'load disk config info'.
I tried right clicking in My Computer and formatting the drive but windows is unable to format it.
Not sure what to do. If there is any chance of getting the data off the drive I will try it. But I'm OK with getting the drive formatted and running again.
Windows 7
Sd card is 32gb class 10
Thanks

Read forum rules mate, not allowed to bump.
Here is a solution that might work, if you have a camera, put it in there and format it, if you have a second android device that is capable of having sdcrads, put it in there and format it.
Is your first backup? Or you done more without issues?
