Hi,
I currently am rooted and run CM. I want to switch my external card to a 64GB card. I did it and my S4 recognized it with no problem but my SU did not work. When I switch it back it worked just fine. IS there a process to safely switch to my new 64GB card?
I went into Clockwork recovery and saw a partition option but I don't want to partition it just format it to work.
Thanks!
Steve
Odd, it should work without any issues, but you could try transferring everything on the 16gig to a folder on your computer, and then transfer those files to your 64gig. That's what I did.

I have a G2 Touch w/ Modaco 2.2 ROM and an Ubuntu PC. Previously I had the supplied 2GB SD card partitioned FAT32/EXT2 for A2SD and all was good. My 8GB Transcend sd card arrived today and I created appropriate FAT32 and EXT2 partitions on it. I then copied across the content from the old card to the new one using 'sudo rsync -a' in Ubuntu. I then found that the card was marked us 'damaged' on my G2 and couldn't be accessed there. I tried reformatting and copying to the new card on my PC but same problem, neither partition was visible and my apps did not appear. I tried the phone 'format' facility but this left the card completely unformatted. I even tried swapping the two partitions over so that different ones were first but it was no use. I have had to replace the original SD card which works but now all my applications have lost their system permissions so I have to reinstall >150 apps, aaarggh!
What could be wrong that my 8GB card is seen as 'damaged' and yet cannot be formatted on the phone but it seems fine via the PC? How can I fix it and move my apps and data across and start using it?
Thanks
Hey Everyone,
I'm having a slight problem with my new SD card. I just bought a new 16 GB SanDisk Class 2 High Capacity Micro-SD card. Unfortunately though, my Xperia X10a is not recognizing the card. When I insert the card into my phone, the phone acts like there is no SD card installed at all. It's been properly formatted to FAT32 and my laptop recognizes it fine. My phone recognizes my old SD card, a 4 GB PNY Class 4 High Capacity Micro-SD card just fine, but refuses to recognize the new SD card. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Format it on the phone....not on the computer.
Settings->SD Card....Unmount if it is mounted....and Format from that menu.
It needs to partition the drive itself properly.
I wish I could do that. But the phone doesnt even recognize that there is an SD card in the phone. It says that the SD card is missing even when I put the new SD card in.
Or if you have everything backed up....start from scratch.
Download and install SEUS from Sony. And reflash from scratch using SEUS.
If you had any app2SDcard app or any apps loaded on your old sdcard, they could be preventing any new SDCard from being added.
Thanks for replying.
I've tried going back to stock but it still seems to be not working. Stock firmware still fails to recognize that an SD card has been inserted.
Is the card any thinner than the old one? If so, add a piece of tape or piece of paper to the back of it, so it fits in the phone snuggly.
When you do a full repair using SEUS and install with the SDCard in the phone, it should auto format the card during the the reinstallation of stock 2.1
Did you actually reinstall using SEUS with the SDCard inside?
Otherwise trade in your new card for another card (make and model should be fine) this time....do not stick the card in your computer. First place it needs to go is in the phone.
Actually...an old post I read on another forum, one guy was successful after he stuck the SDCard in his camera, and formatted the card from the camera...and he was unsuccessfull when he originally formatted the card in his computer.
Thanks so much for helping. Somehow, I managed to get it working. Turns out that the cluster size of my SD card was set to auto, which caused it to have cluster sizes that the phone couldnt read. After reformatting it to 4 kb clusters and FAT32, it was recognized by the phone. Thank you so much!
I've been looking around but can't seem to find the answer to this. I have rooted my NT with a 4GB SDCard. I would like to switch to a larger card. Can I turn off my NT, remove the 4GB card. copy everything from the card to a 16 or 32 GB card, and then insert the new card and restart the NT?
If that won't work, how can I do this?
Thanks,
Bob
Turn off NT, remove the 4GB card. copy everything from the card to a 16 or 32 GB card. Must be working.
If your using this sdcard to boot from, you are probably going to have to make that partition bootable as well. Usually the windows partition abilities are pretty limited so you'll have to use one of those free partition tools out there.
I'm not booting from the SDCard - so does that mean i can change the card by simply copying all the files to the new card?
Bob
Yeah just copy everything from the 4gb card to the 32gb card and everything will work just fine
I got the galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, and when I got it I just put my old sd card in it and it worked fine. I could transfer files to and from it fine, when I hooked the phone up to a computer I could easily copy and paste files to the sd card that was mounted to phone. The sd card I used was an 8 gig Samsung, I recently upgraded to a 32 gig PNY sd card and have had nothing but problems with it. For the first week it would always say sd card was unmounted or unreadable and gave me an error, then mounted and worked. Finally got that fixed, but it would never work for file transfer from my computer, I have to physically take the sd card out of the phone and plug it directly into my computer to actually get files to transfer onto it. But transferring files onto my phones memory works fine, just the sd card has issues. Even when transferring from my phones storage to the sd it hasn't worked in my experience, any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to root or anything because I know the phone works fine, I think PNY just sucks I haven't had the greatest experience with any of their products.
Okay so the card is doing the error message with the phone again so I guess I need to fix that first, Help?
TiBu is fine with ext. SD, as is Total Commander file transfer. The 64 gb card used to work fine with TWRP, as did 2 other SD cards. Now, with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.5.1 I can't use them to nandroid. I have to use USB via Stickmount. I tried going back to TWRP 2.8.3.0 using the TWRP install function from internal storage but same problem. Cards are formatted to FAT32. I'm running the latest SkyDragon Rom and kernel. Tried going back to 2.9.4 kernel and then 12B stock kernel. No help. When I try to do a nandroid to the ext. SD it fails with the message that it can't write to external SD. The card is writable except to TWRP. Anyone know how to fix this?
I have had the same problem with my VS985 and Sandisk ultra 64gb card, I reformat and it works for a couple days and then it isn't recognized by phone at all either inserted into phone, otg/stickmount, or in TWRP 2.5.8.1/2.5.3.0 via otg or in phone. I went back to my Sandisk 32gb and havent have an issue since. For whatever reason the G3 just doesn't like 64gb cards- I've read the multiple threads on this issue and the end result is the same- just stick with a 32gb...
i have been using a 64g sandisk always, never had an issue.
My problem is not with the SD card (I don't think) because it is recognized by every app I use it for except TWRP. The card used to work with TWRP also but I can't get TWRP to see it now.
It WAS the SD card that TWRP didn't like. New 64 GB card solved problem. I still don't know how the old SD could stop being recognized by one app and still be OK for everything else but it happened.
