Hello
Very weird problem. I flashed yesterday the cyanogenmod 9 stable and everything is working except one, my 64GB SDXC don't mount and the system notifies me that is damaged.
If I connect to the computer with an adapter, it asks me to format it, but then works perfectly in the PC. I even used the SD formatter Full format instead of windows.
When I connect to the phone, same problem its damaged, but if I connect again to the computer it asks again to format it, so it seams that the phone is screwing that SD card. But... If I use any other SD card, everything works on the phone, it's just that SD card that the phone is screwing.
I appreciate your help

CM9 doesn't recognize exFAT. Re-format it to FAT32 and you'll be fine.

Format your card by inserting in some other Android phone, hopefully issue will be resolved.

- copy your old SD card to PC via USB cable
- shut down, remove the old card, stick the new one in, turn on your phone
- let the phone format it (will prompt you if needed)
- copy the contents back via USB cable
Can do the above in PC as well, that way your phone will not even notice the card has changed.
will the "format prompt" automatically appear? how will i know if it needs a format?.thanks guys
Yes it will if needed otherwise no.

It's better to format the new card from the phone before using it, this lets you maintain the native file system and prevents any anomalies that can arise from a pre (pc) formatted card. This might also help preventing the auto unmount issue that some users have reported.
Upon inserting the new card and on powering up the phone, go to Settings -> SD Card & Storage, select the Unmount Card option, then select the Format Card. When done Mount the card if not automatically done. Ensure that you have taken a backup (if you have some data on the card) before you format the card.

It is not necesasry to format a newly bought sd card as all sd cards come pre formatted with the file system that suits it best(FAT32). SD Card manufacturers will never ship an unformatted card.
If you get unmounting issues with a new card its prolly not the cards fault but the phone's firmware.
hey guys, it seems that the sd card that i have brought does not need formatting,.i just copied everything to it and it works just fine! thanks again for all your help!!! shalom!^^
Yeah. It doesn't need formatting. Recently I bought a 16gb card, switched off phone, took out my old card, inserted new one phone, went into recovery, partitioned it with recovery, inserted old one in laptop card reader, USB toggle in phone, copy and paste all old SD contents to new one, then disabled USB toggle, restore a nandroid backup with ext4 and finally reboot. Phone was as it was before. But now 16gb from 8gb.

So my S3 Pebble Blue is on it's way & I want to put all music & stuff on to my 64Gb Micro sd card.
Do I....
1: Format on the pc, if so which format & would the S3 still want to format when I put it in.
2: Format it in the phone & then remove & insert in to PC to transfer all my music & stuff?
I am familiar with android & formatting micro sd cards. I just wondered if being a 64Gb would be a different matter.

Just format in phone.

I also just received my SGS3 and inserted the SanDisk 64gb micro sdxc card.
I didnt format it, because it just seemed to work fine without formatting. Now I put all my data on it, but after a restart of the phone the card is suddenly corrupted...
In my phone it recognizes the card, but says its corrupted and needs to formatted. It then ejects the cards for safe removal. In my pc it doesn't recognise the card at all.
Does anyone have an idea on how to recover the data on it?
And what is otherwise the best way to format it?
Thx
RE:- 64GB MicroSDXC errors
I would use a external compatible Micro SDXC reader and connected it to your computer and try and recover the card on the PC. (first)
i) what operating system are you using on the PC.
ex-fat format problem in windows xp. If you have windows 7 it should be able to read ex-fat cards natively.
If you have xp you can try and install the
search for the knowledge base article 955704 on Microsoft Technet support package to enable xp to read ex-fat cards.
In the past I have used my external 9 in one reader to fix corrupted cards to recover the files from them using recuva or similar software it will restore the files onto your pc hard disk.
let me know how you get on.
Thanks a lot for the quick advice.
I don't have an external reader yet, so I ordered one just now. I have win7 on my pc, so I guess that will be ok. I'll try it later this week when I have the reader in.
Once I have it recovered (or not), what is the best practice for setting up the card? What's the best way to format it?

Free PC program Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva mount via USB or scard adapter.
Or even try Hexamob (need root) our some other file recovery app
When done, best and easiest to format through phone.

So I had a 16 gb external sd card in my rezound, realized that I would like more space so I bought a 32 gb card. The new card worked for about a week and no longer works. I have an sd card exploring app and it sees the files on the card but my phone does not even recognize the card is inserted.
Another thing to mention is that with the old card, my phone would not display the available space on it or give me the options to unmount and mount. Now when I put both of these cards in an sd card reader and insert them into my desktop the computer does not see that a card has been inserted. I have checked it with other mini SDs that I have and the computer sees them, so I don't know what gives! Any ideas??
P.S. I am running on the ICS 3.14.605.10 RUU
Sounds like you have a bad card, can you format it?

Well the weird thing is that both the stock and the card I bought are doing the same thing. And I tried formatting, but since I can't view the cards on my computer or phone I have no way of formatting.

If you have TWRP or Amon, mount USB storage and format from your computer.

I have the exact same problem. I tried switching cards and formatted the new one before I put everything on it. It still is missing after every reboot...Annoying, but at least it's still there....
Not sure if this is the issue but it may help to try:
If you are on GB firmware and running an ICS rom, download and flash this in recovery. It is a GB firmware patch and after you flash it, sd card mounting problems are fixed.
Hi Friends,
I am using Karbonn A9 (Without Rooted) & micro SD Card - 4GB class 4. I can transfer the files fine b/w PC & Card using USB cable. But, now-a-days, the files copied to sd card doesn't appear after usb unplugged from PC.
Also, the files deleted from PC, appears on SD Card, when removed. Please help me.
Have you tried to format your sd card?
I have have never had problems with class 4 sd cards until recently. I have had to buy all class 10 sd card for all of my devices that I have upgraded to ICS/JB. I don't know why, but I started getting all sort of problems flashing, saving, FC's. It was really weird. I didn't realize that it was the sd card until I switched the sd card in my tablet (with was already a class 10) to my phone. With worked fine in my phone, then my tablet started acting crazy.
this happen because u already click fix permission.. don't ever choose fix permission in cwm.. u might getting fc..

Sorry for late reply. Surprisingly, i didn't got email notifications for your posts, so I am unaware of it.
I had done formatting several time in XP, but still the problem persists. Also, Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work...
Hello I saw he video how to change int sd with ext sd so the phone thinks it has more space and so on... The truble is I need to format sd card to fat 23. And life does wonders - my card reader suddenly stopped working and I cant conect it to pc and format the card. Any way to go around that? Maybe there are apps that can do it in the phone? Coz I cant find them.

if you are rooted you could try to format the card in CWM, not sure though if it is 1) possible and 2) if it is then formated to Fat32 or the system you had on it before.
You could also try to connect your phone to your PC and format it that way.

Hello, ty for taking the time to answer, but i tried both of those things, both in pc and cwm i can format, but i cant select how to format, i dont know if it formats to fat or to fat32 or to something other. Besides after trying to format i tried to use the int to ext sd swaping (the thing that i wanted to do in the first place and the reason why i need to format to ext 32) and it didnt work so i believe that formating without selecting TO WHAT to format doesnt work.
