Nandroid with a 64GB SD card? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

It looks like CWM does not support my 64 GB SD card. Very disappointing. I sent an email to "[email protected]" because I bought the Touch version of ROM Manager to make backs up easier. I hope to hear back from the clockworkmod team.
In the meantime is there a work around? I could switch from CWM to TWRP if TWRP supports a 64 GB SD card using FAT32ext?
Can you let me know what you are doing to create NANDROIDS with 64GB SD cards?
thanks

TWRP supports the 64gb card with either FAT32 OR exFat. I've run mine both ways and nandroids are not a problem.

I switched to TWRP and was able to create a NANDROID on the 64GB SD card.
Do you know how to change to volume label on the SD Card? Is there an app for that?

Files from SD card not viewable

Anyone have any issues with your SD card from your previous device not showing the files that are on it?
I know they are there because the card says 3 gigs free of 14....came from my Fascinate.

It could be formatting issues with the Sd card. Also sometimes Sd cards won't work going from one device to the other. Try transferring/backing up your files from the Sd card to your computer than reformat the Sd card, transfer you're backed up files to the freshly formatted Sd card. Finally put the Sd card back into your phone and you should be able to access your files.

and when you reformat the sd card(after saving to pc 1st), format to fat32 w/ active partition manager. not sure if youre rooted yet but this helps w/ cwm recovery. the exfat file system from windows and format sdcard feature w/ the phone gave me trouble.

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.

64 gb sd backups erases after rebooting

I have a new 64 gb sd formatted exfat. Everytime I do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery and also carbon backup, they both finish backups. After rebooting both the nandroid and carbon backups disappear on the external 64gb sd card. All of the other files on the card are still in tact except for the backups.
Really puzzling. Should I just use the 64gb as a fat32?
Thank you for any comments.

Not sure as how to do it. But I know alot of people are having issues with 64gb cards

Try using twrp since it's actually recommended for our device. Also I believe the only benefit of exfat is that you can have files over 4gb. If you don't have files that big, Fat32 will work fine.

Thank you for your input.
Gave up and went back to the original 32GB.

[Q] understanding TWRP

I'm having trouble adjusting to TWRP's
naming convention and mapping.
Its internal file manager has refernces
to sdcard, internal_sdcard, external_sdcard
and USB storage. sdcard is where it ended
up putting its output which seems to be
/data/media/0/. How do I tell it to use
the external microsd card as its data
target?
I have a brand new VZW HTC ONE MAX.
I so far have run Firewater s-off
successfully, (rumrunner didn't work),
reset my tampered and locked flags,
flashed via fastboot TWRP recovery
and let TWRP install SuperSU for root.
To remove the red warnings on the
splash page do I have to use a
custom hboot?
After that I rebooted to recovery
TWRP and went to run a backup.
TWRP wasn't able to locate the
external microsd card, I'm guessing
since it decided to breakup the
backup files, it was expecting
FAT32 not NTFS. I'll reformat it
and see if it can find it then.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't use micro sd in recovery.

micro sd card works just fine in TWRP for me.
I have the same problem with TWRP, it won't recognize my sdcard. I've tried 2 different ones,I even did a reformat and it still didn't work

Depends on the time you downloaded TWRP. It's been re-uploaded with working sdcard support for a while now.
Ok, so with a FAT32 formatted microsd card and
a current TWRP I should be to write the
files on the external sdcard, not just the
fake one?
Thanks
If you have a 64G card itbshiuld be formatted exFat. Its going to be a pain getting it back to that properly if you formatted to anything else. ExFat has a specific tiny block of memory kept at the beginning of the card. Just formatting back to exfat doesnt work properly without that block.
Will exFAT work correctly, except for hboot?
I know NTFS doesn't, TWRP couldn't see it.
I could buy another and clone the whole thing including the
unallocated space. Hmms Is there a something special
in written in that space, or just a partition boundary issue?
I did wonder why the partition started where it did?
It is fixable using a partition tool. It *may* havr been the official sdcard format tool (google it). I just remember it was a pain for me. Ymmv

I'm running TWRP 2.6.3.0, on a Sprint One Max, using a Sandisk Extreme 64GB external microsd formatted as FAT32. I've never had an issue with TWRP not recognizing my ext sd.

Cannot Backup to SD Card

I picked up a new 64gb SD card and tried to use TWRP to backup a ROM and no luck trying to backup to the card, can do internal memory no problem.
Anyone think of a reason for this? I can move files to the card via USB and ES Explorer so it isn't a writable problem.
Maybe it needs formatting to the correct form?
I had to do that to my trusty 8gb sd card I've had for years to get it to work.

But how do you explain being able to transfer files to it while in the phone, and also download directly to it?
Are you able to choose the external card from within TWRP for backups or is it not even an option there. It should be there if you touch the bar that says internal.. Sorry not rooted ATM so I can't see exactly what it says.
