[Q] SD card not recognised - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have recently flashed Liquid Smooth and everything is running well except that my SD card does not seem to be recognised. When I was running on stock it was fine and yet with this custom rom it isn't there. It works when I put it in a card reader but not in my phone (which by the way is an i9300).
I have tried formatting on the computer, in recovery mode as well as mounting the card.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jaidyn

Apologies, I couldn't find the forum I'd previously posted in. This is however a new problem. Since my last post I have reflashed back to stock (during which my SD worked) and then gone back to Liquid Smooth.
How would I go about correcting this?

Thread moved to proper forum.

It seems that after rebooting a few times my SD card showed. Thanks for the help.

[Q] Android Revolition HD - i ****ed it up

hey guys
the title of the thread sums it pretty much up.
i had cm9 on my i9300. but i was having trouble with it. when i call somebody i could hear them, but they could not hear me.
so i decided to switch to ARHD.
i followed the guide.
accidently i put super wipe and the rom in the internal sd card.
after that i did the super wipe. then, logically there was no rom in the internal section anymore.
now i cant boot. i tried to put the rom into my external sdcard but it says "E: cant mount /sdcard/
do you have any tips what i should to now?
i have no backups

Read installation instruction bro,Mike 1986 CLEARLY said to put the Rom obligatory in ExtSDCARD because Superwipe script Wipe everything including internalSDCard.

Good for you mate, but next time read carfully what the developer said about installation of his OWN Rom.ok We all learn from mistakes and ur not the first or the last person to do so.
i agree to nhariamine formating the ext. SD card before using it is the first step so your phone will recognize your ext SD card.
Good mate. Did you manage to install arhd now?

yep it runs on my device now. the scrolling in the menues is really smooth but it is having laggs when i try to switch between programms.
furthermore it freezes sometimes. i cant explain why this happens.
i will go back to CM9 probably and try to flash a different modem to fix the voiceproblems.

[ROM][GSM] CM10/AOKP NIGHTLY Builds by Crack-Team

So, I flashed this ROM with safestrap and now I cannot mount my SD card when in CM10, although it's functional when I go back to the non safe system. I already tried to partition it, and when I do it, says "done" but nothing happends, I installed Link2SD, but it doesn't find the SD card, so it's useless.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Yes, it worked perfectly when I went back to the non safe system.
I can't format my SD.
But nevermind, I stopped using it, flashed stock ics.
Thanks anyway...

CWM Recovery not recognizing extSD (Verizon)

I was originally going to post this under the developer section, but seeing how it won't let me post there until I've reached over 10 posts, (started new acct instead of trying to find old login info) I figured I'd try here:
I successfully rooted my device earlier and all is going well, but I'm running into a snag for backing up in custom recovery/flashing new ROMs. The recovery isn't recognizing my extSD card, but the phone when booted will. I've moved the ROMs to the extSD to save space and want my backup to go there as well.
Anyone found a fix for this at all?
What kind of sd card?
Check /mnt/extSdCard/
I've got OUDHS CWM... so depending on the recovery tool you have, it may be different for you.

It's a SanDisk ultra 64GB.From what I've read elsewhere it sounds like I may need to reformat it to FAT? When I got the card I just formatted it in the device itself

FAT32 is what you need. I have a 64gb Samsung card and the same thing happened to me. Formating in the phone won't do it. I ended up finding a 3rd party app (EaseUs Partition Master - free edition) and formatted it on the pc (using either built-in or accessory card reader). Afterwards you'll have all the access you're lacking!!
Just confirming what the others are saying - if you installed the card on stock and then rooted to CM you will find that the card doesn't work but DOES still have data on it, if you want to get it off easiest way is PC/Mac otherwise you can format it if you don't mind losing the data.

[Q] Paranoid ROMs and others

I love the feature set in a lot of the custom ROMs but for the life of me I can't get them to recognize my SANDisk
64gb Micro SD card. I have tried NTFS and FAT32 and PA can't see either one. My PC can read either just fine.
When I go over to most of the 4.1.2 builds they read my card just fine as well. Looking for a 4.2.2 that works or
4.3...can't find one that works with this SD. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Can you access the SD card in recovery?

No I can not.
I really don't know how to advise you then. Your custom recovery should be outside your OS version. I had the same type of problem when I moved from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I ended up accidentally solving the problem by installing an updated version of PA. However, I never had an issue managing my SD card with TWRP or CWM. Have you made sure that your custom recovery of choice has been updated to the latest and greatest before flashing 4.2.2 ROMs?
I recently read something that said that the ability to read different file systems for SD cards was
based upon the kernel and not the ROM...not sure that makes sense to me now as I just installed
Devil Kernel, AllianceV6 ROM, and I am running TWRP version 2.6.0.1. I can read the card on my
PC, and under the ROM but TWRP refuses to mount it. Seems to vary what wants to read my FAT32
card and what does not. Oh well. May post over on TWRP. Thanks all.

I was reading in the paranoid thread that you had to format the car to the proper either ex-fat or something like that you should look back five to ten pages in the paranoid thread they explained. It is only an issue with 64GB cards

[HELP] SD Card became Read Only !!!

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 !!
