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.

Hey,
So I have the latest version of Clockwork recovery mod which lets me use an external sd card but Cyanogenmod 9 ROM doesn't recognize the external card and in fact wants to format it.
I'm using a 64GB Sandisk card and the latest nightly build of CM9. Any help appreciated.
Your SDcard is formated to FAT32 or exFAT?
Because CM9 is not able to use exFAT
ExFat formatted sdcards are not supported because its proprietary. XM will never support it.
Reformat it to FAT32 and it should work fine.

It's formatted to exFat. What's the best software to format it to Fat32?
CWM wiped my ext sd when I flashed new rom to so just updated to latest cwm touch as well... Lost my nandroid backup was on ext sd

It doesnt wipe your ext card, it should only be unable to read it. Use "HP Usb format tool" or any of the other tools you can find throqgh forum search. You're net the first to ask =)

I've been trying all the suggestions I can find in the forum to format my card to fat32 but nothing is working. Still exFat and not working in phone.
Would mounting the sd card in a usb connected reader rather than in a card adapter help?

I had a similar problem. After installing CM10 my 64gb sd card was no longer readable whether on the phone or a computer. I simply restored my nandroid backup to a Samsung rom and used the phone to format it back to exFat. I would suggest you let the phone format it for you.
On a side note, would using a exFat capable kernel such as Siyah Kernal enable exFat support on CM9 or 10?
/edit nvm, re-read the Siyah Kernel post, it says its supports CM9, AOSP and Samsung roms! exFat on CM9&10 here we come!
I made this mistake of putting my nandroid backup on my external sd card which has now presumably been wiped. Can re install base Samsung rom, but jp really keen to do that.
Let me know how the kernel goes, if it works I might try flashing it as well. Would be great to have exFat support. Will updating CM9 nightly mess with the kernel?

got fat32 working with HP USB Disk Storage Format and other phone
Took me some time, but finally this fixed it for me:
0) As you need to wipe the 64gb exFAT sdcard, first backup the stuff you want to restore later.
1) I did put the micro sdcard into an sdcard / USB adapter.
2) Then mounted this into my Windows 7 PC and formatted FAT32 with 'HP USB Disk Storage Format'
(free to use/download).
Do not use quick format, do a full FAT32 format, yes this takes some time..
3) Put the formatted card into another smartphone and just do a quick wipe/format again.
I used my (old) HTC Desire S for this with CM7
Did read this on an other forum, there a samsung galaxy s2 was used.
4) Finally put the sdcard in your Samsung Galaxy S3 with the CM9. :silly:
5) Restore your saved stuff from step 0. :good:
Now ex FAT is removed this sdcard now also mount easy on my main Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
You can replace steps (2) and (3) with the HP Usb Format tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml
It allows you to format >32GB disks to FAT32 on the computer without having to rely on another phone
64GB SD Card Now Works

Thanks a lot, your instructions worked. I did part 3 on my old ZTE Blade and now my Galaxy Note sees my 64GB SDXC 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.
Hi,
I'm looking to swap roms to SuperNexus which is by all account an AOSP rom.
I've learnt that you have to use FAT32 as your file system as it will corrupt the data on the card forcing a reformat if you don't.
So i can format to FAT32 no problem but I am also planning on using the ext2internal mod and i was wondering if i should format both my internal SD as well as my external SD as FAT32 or not?
I have an i9300 and a 64GB sdxc class 10 card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
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.

I've just bought myself an SGS3, and a 64GB MicroSD. My MicroSD card has arrived before my phone, and I'm wondering what file system I need to re-format it as, if any? It's currently formatted as exFAT. Thanks in advance.

For compatibility, its best formatted as Fat32.
If you're using a samsung rom then exFAT is fine.
If you go aosp roms like cyanogen, you'll need fat 32
