Put it in a card reader
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Man ..
I put the sdcard in reader and formated.
The partition manager shows that the sdcard is in ext3 but the android or windows not able to read the sdcard.
-------------------------- EDIT----------------
I could read the sdcard with the module ntfs.ko
but I can not longer access the sdcard on my computer.(via usb)
I can not write / modify the sdcard (android)
just read the files.

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?

Ya. D swap partition.

funny, mine is the opposite, it is detected in CM7.1 but not in recovery. I have no idea what to do next.
partitioned?
im assuming your memory card is partitioned for a2sd.
1. fat32
2. ext4
ive experienced this problem when i forgot to set both partitions as primary when i did the reformat. if it is just logical partition, one would not be detected.
Can someone let me know what they are using to check partitions on their removable sd cards. I have partitioned in the past using the 4ext recovery on my old G2 but now want to get rid of the ext,.....
also what format is best to use for the whole card? 4EXT / fatext or what?
Thanx all!!!!
Please help guys,.....
I thought this would have been can easy one for ppl to give suggestions on?
Also I don't have a separate card reader so need to be able to do it from the phone itself or by having it connected via usb.
Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeee help.

You will need to format the card on the phone itself..it will partition in FAT32 format..this is the format S3 used..you can try NTFS but only Siyah kernel will work with it AFAIK..
FAT32 is the format to use here,,
Thank Z.
So if I format through Cwm recovery it will also get rid of all partitions right?....... Data / swap / extdata?...... I don't actually remember how many partitions are on it.

Format it using the Format option present in Storage under settings..or connect it to a PC and format is as FAT32 ..all the partitions will be deleted and you will have a brand new FAT32 partitioned ExtSdcard.
Thanks again pal. Appreciated.

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

What format did you use? Dont use NFTS, but use FAT32. That one worked for me. Try a quick format (use a adapter or something else) and try again.
I used fat32 formatted it and still says blank sdcard or unsupported file

hi i've got same problem too with 16 GB and 64 GB
it's suck ...
Did you format in the phone???? Sometimes this makes a difference. Just back up your card to computer before reformatting in the phone.
