CWM 6.0.1.2 External SD Issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been searching but cannot find a clear cut answer. I apologize if I simply missed it.
I just received my Sandisk 64gb SDXC card, and cwm cannot mount or see the card.
Any solutions?

It doesn't support exFAT cards, apparently. Since your card is a 64GB one, it's likely Sandisk formatted it as exFAT by default. You can format it as FAT32, but you're then subject to the restrictions of FAT32.
If you do want to keep it as exFat, gokhanmoral's Siyah kernel now has a CWM 6.0.1.4 recovery that supports exFAT, although a new kernel + recovery is quite a big step.

Siyah 1.7beta2 with Recovery now support exfat. your card should be fine with it

SIII Liquid Smooth RC5 cant use ext. sd card.

Hello,
I'm having problems with sd cards and liquid smooth. Sd card works in recovery mode without any problems, but in the actual OS it doesnt. It says it's damaged and says its needs to be formatted. However it gets stuck at unmounting the sdcard. I've formatted in the recovery mode, but it didn't help. I've been searching the internet for a while and haven't found anything helpful or anyone with the same problem. SD card is Sandisc microSDXC 64gb class 10.
List of software whats loaded into the SIII at the moment.
ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 - "v1.5"
Liquid Smooth RC5
superSU v0.89
With best regards: Amatheas
Format via Windows as FAT32 .

Well. I did get it to work, but at half capacity. Apparently my laptops sd card reader cant read more than 29.8gb of the sd card. Is there a way to format it using android itself or is there a trick to do it on my laptop?
EDIT: Got it to work. ZTE blade had the ability to format it to 64gb version. Thanks everyone for help. This thread is now solved.

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies SD card format

Flashed the 20130128 nightly coming from Jelly Beans. When I rebooted the phone the (empty) 64gb SD Card was "damaged". I tried to format it via the phone and that didn't help.
After looking into other posts I keep seeing that it needs to be formatted as a FAT32 but that this wasn't recommended for cards 32gb and higher.Is there anything special I need to do after flashing 4.2??
Thanks for the help...

There is nothing wrong about reformatting the Sd card to FAT32. You just lose the ability to transfer files over the size of 4GB. You're going to need to reformat the sdcard on your pc by using a third party program.
AOSP ROMs do not support exFAT.

[Q] External sd card problem after aokp flash

So I recently rooted my Verizon Note II, rooted with casual and twrp. I flashed the milestone version of aokp and for some reason cannot mount my external sd card. I get an error message that says "sd card is blank or has an unsupported filesystem". The sd card was working fine on my rooted phone before flashing aokp. Any ideas?

Its my understanding some Roms dont support exFat, a file system format used by SD Cards. you should try backing up the data and then formatting it to fat32.

thanks for the advice. It seems like aokp can reformat the card itself, but I'm a little afraid to let it try. I was also just reading about using siyah kernal and another thing called vold-exfat that lets you use an exfat formatted card. I think I'm gonna do one of these two things but it seems easiest to let aokp reformat my card if it will actually reformat my 64gb sd to fat32. I haven't been able to find out what it will reformat to though... very confusing

It won't reformat a 64GB card right. Download something likr EaseUS or another formatting tool. There is one that is posted on XDA quite a bit but for the life of me I can't remember its name.

[Q] Slimkat Weekly 2.0 unable to mount SDcard

My SDcard isn't mounting but I'm able to access the card in TWRP. This is the thrid revision of Slimkat that I've used that doesn't seem to want to mount the SD card. I can clean install to another rom and have no issues accessing the SD card. Is there a setting or something else I need to do to make this work?
Bump, still haven't found a fix for this.
Is it formatted in exFat? If it is, I don't think Slim is configured to mount exFat yet by default, unless you are running KToonsez kernel I beleive.

That was it...I formatted to NTFS and it saw the card but it's totally useless. Thank you!

There are tools that allow you to format 64Gb cards as FAT32 versus exFAT.

Micro SD file system

what is/are the micro sd file system(s) recognised by OPX?
i inserted a 64G micro sd formatted with exFAT, and it was not recognised by OPX.. (it was recognised by TWRP as "/external_sd")
should i try NTFS then? (but im afraid TWRP might not recognise it then..)
any hint? thx..

Ive allso had exfat and have problems with it, now i have ntfs and it works prefect.
In Oxygen 2.1.2 my experience was that the only filesystem working BOTH in Oxygen, Windows and TWRP was Fat32 formatted in TWRP. I really tried them all (exFat, fat32, NTFS, Ext4, f2fs)
However, after upgrade to Oxygen 2.1.3 I discovered that also exFat works everywhere so I reformatted my 128 GB card to exFat.
yes v2.1.3 added back support to exFAT..
What is correct file path for sdcard? Stock E1005 2.1.3-X using stock file Manager?
I have 64gb sdxc gskill class 10 there is no option to format card on phone. Upon boot "sdcard available click to access".
Shows up in Storage. Saving to sdcard is hot & miss. ie. Moving OpenCamera frm internal to sdcard, shows up Settings>Apps, ON SDCARD tab
But not in file Manager

Sorry to bump a really old thread but I noticed on 3.1.4 ExFat is not supported and the phone asks me to reformat and it goes into FAT32
Anyone else seeing this on 1+X?
Yes I found this rather annoying I ended up just formatting it in end. Lol. There is ways around it but eh.
