Hi guys,
so recently i screwd up my phone and needed a motorola factory cable to fix it. Now that i have it and up and running, i seem to have another problem.
My SD Card is not recognized in the phone. when i put it in my other phone, it works fine with all data there. Connected to my com and it reads it and what not. So i tried formating it again, and same problem.
Tried fastbooting my phone back twice to stock unrooted, and its the same. Tried factory reset, the same..
any idea how can i fix this? Or do i need to get my self a new SD Card T_T
thanks!!
Format the sdcard as fat32 partition from the PC. Use a program that can partition disks/ cards like MiniTool Partition Wizard
Hi! thanks for the reply, tried that, same thing
Hi, just to add..i tried a friends SD card in my phone, and im getting the same error. could it be due to h/w problem?

have you checked if 64 gb is supported from what i read most phones only support upto 32 gb, also forget the adapter try using it in another phone and see it could be the sd card is corrupt but make sure to check the phone is 64 gb supported sd card
Android 4.0+ supports up to 64gb SD.

yeah.. maybe 64gb is not supported..
Quite easy.Uninstall the SD CARD and install it again for several times. And it will be ok.
My english is bad....Or even worse than bad....

I believe this has been covered in different ways, just wondering if this sounds like a device fault.
Took the 1gb microSD out of my work blackberry (was working fine) and put it in my atrix....not recognized. Pressed the clip down a little, still not recongized. Rebooted, not recognized, not option to mount or format in settings.
Any thoughts? I know the card is good.

doesnt seem to, although i have never used an android device prior to this one to see how it should recognize.
if i plug the usb cable in, i can see the phones internal memory as basically an external HD just like a flash drive, but I dont see the SD card

under that menu, mount sd card and format sd card are greyed out, and total and available space are white but do not do anything when clicked and say "unavailable" below in smaller font
popped the microSD card into my card reader, plugged it into the laptop, and reformatted as FAT32.....atrix still doesnt see it and the options are still greyed out. doesnt seen it when plugged into the computer either. i see the internal storage but not the SD

only have the one microSD on me right now so no. currently on stock 1.8.3 but rooted (IIRC it still is). I am doing a fresh flash to wipe everything back to 1.2.6 though and get ready for unlocking and gingerbread.

well I was gonna tell you to wipe via CWM...but that approach was my next option..
flashed back to 4.1.2.6 and then 1.5.7....still no SD card getting recognized.
Time to think about seeing if they will replace the phone? the card works fine in the card reader and in my other phone.
yeh it's time to replace the phone...seems like sd slot is messed up..

phone was purchased just after release, end of February. is this something I should expect to be replaced under warranty from ATT?
I own a Sprint Sgs3 rooted. A while back I was running a 4.2 rom, I believe liquid smooth. From that I did a clean install and switched to a 4.3 rom to try it out. When it got to the home screen it said my SD card may be corrupted and asked me to format. I hit yes and nothing seemed to happen but I no longer got the error. I switched back to a 4.2 rom and it says my internal memory is 95% full and my SD card has 16 gb free. Before this happened it was split between the two so internal wasn't nearly as full. How do I get it back like that?

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.....
My 64GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 card was running fine untill recently i flashed Omni ROM !! Then i was not feeling good with onmi and i returned back to Stock Rom..then the problems started to occur.I didn't notice at 1st.after when i connected to my pc to insert some files the files does not WRITE !! it shows that the files are being copied but when i refresh it stays the same old files which was previously there before....
What to DO ????
Can any one Help !!!
Use sd formatting tool on your pc, if still the same then buy a new card.
I have the same SD card, and sometimes when I flash a new rom I have to format because my phone is unable to read it. I always reformat it with SDFormatter V4.0, you can try it.
Do a "FULL (OverWrite)" format to be sure.

My S3 has killed at least 3sd cards of mine. Phone would start dismounting and remounting the SD card by itself, eventually the card would stop working. I've given up using a SD card in my phone
Mine has the same 32gb card I put in the day I got the phone, 2 years ago. Not had any problems at all, I avoid using the internal storage to reduce wear on the emmc chip.

I tried formatting it with windows but no Luck !! In windows it shows it formatted but when I insert it back into phone it stays the same .It returns back to its previous state... The thing is that my card shows that it is copying or deleting files but after a while everything just goes back to where it was ..I still have my old files unable to do any thing...so only Read Only ... :'(
Thats it I am never flashing a non stock based ROM ever !!

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.
