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

I have been using CM7 for quite a while now and recently it this week I have been unable to add apps or even update the ones i had. I would like to move on to a newer version one perhaps a little more stable than the rom i have been using as this one was a fairly early version. I tried the raywaldo reset to stock using a repart cart and it will not boot off the card. It always loads the Team-b CM 7 boot process. I can get to CWM via the reboot option. Is there a reason the repart.img isnt loading? WTF am I doing wrong here???

Check your SD card space. If it is none, get a new one and it should work. You need an SD card to download anything.
I have a 4gb and a 32gb card tried both.
Burn the repart.img to the 4GB card, pop it in the Tablet (powered up), insert the charger cable, connected to the charger and hopefully the repart will start.

From what i read in the noob section isnt it best to return to stock before trying to move onto another rom?

The process of flashing a custom ROM does not need/use any component of the stock ROM, and a custom ROM replaces the stock ROM in its entirety on the NT active partitions, hence there is no benefit in returning to stock prior to flashing a custom ROM; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for some more background info.

For what ever reason when i used the 32gb card it wasnt working switched to the 4gb card and it worked no problem. This thread can be closed.
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.

21APR2013 is a SDC image file and 31MAY2013 is just a .zip file ROM. With the 21APR2013 image file all you need to do is write it to your SD card with win32diskimager and put it in your nook. 31MAY2013 is RC3 (release candidate 3) which is newer than the image file. If you want the newest version I would suggest using the image file first so it can set up the partitions for you, then installing the RC3 .zip with recovery once you start your Nook.
I'd put effort installing an Official CM, they've been updated to stable.

The SDC image isn't official CM, it's a succulent build of CM. There are no SD versions of official CM. I like the SDC versions because I can expand the room in my partitions for more apps.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, and didn't realize this was about new SD card builds. I'm used to the various builds by succulent as being from unofficial builds or paranoid builds. I assumed it wasn't. The last Succulent build I used was from Dec 2012, so it was still unofficial.
But I payed a bit more attention, and it looks like the May one is based off the Official CM RC3 build, which is pre-Stable. I don't think there was an RC4.
He's been focused on the Paranoid and PAC instead of the Official CM.

Yes, first burn the IMG dated 21APR2013 to SD card and then to upgrade: boot into CWM and flash both cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip.
You can also create a CM10.1 SD card from scratch with cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip by following the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1.

Thanks for confirming the steps. The creating for the image from scratch seems a little complex and also the reason I'm doing on SD first is to test it out and see if I should just ahead and install CM10.1 internally.
I was wondering, with the SD Image does it "root" the Nook Tablet and install the recovery (CWM) internally or is everything on the SD Card. I'm asking because if I decide to install internally, will I nned to figure out how to 'root' and install the recovery internally and how difficult that would be.
Thanks!
EDIT: ok so wrote the 21APR2013 image to 8GB MicroSD card, interted it into the Nook Tablet, switched it on and it just boots into the regular Nook Tablet OS, nothing different. It seems I must have done something wrong but not sure what. The steps seemed pretty easy, download IMG file, format MicroSD card, Write Img using Win32 Disk tool, intsert MicroSD into NT, Turn on NT.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Nothing is installed internally when you run from sd.
Should you want to install interanlly at a later point it is possible to use the sd card you used to run from to boot into recovery, and then install from there. TheROM I use (Succulent CM10) then installs CWM internally, so it's there should I need it again. (For example for backup)

Thanks for the info and the links. After reading the post linked, it mentions that many NT only boot from power off via a powered USB cable and not via the power button. Hmmm, must have missed that bit of info somewhere. I will give that a go later today.
Okay, so as a new Android user, I've so far experienced my first phone, annoying stock apps/ROMs, the joys and hazards of rooting and installing custom ROMs, and experimenting with advanced settings and utilities.
Now, I think, I am ready for kernels.
I bought an OTG cable, and I cannot get my exFAT drive to show up. My coworker says it's because I have a stock kernel.
Does anyone know what kernel I need?
I'm using a VZW GS4 with CM 10.1 RC2 rooted.
Also, providing me with links where I can learn this ish would be awesome. Thanks!

I couldn't get CM recovery to recognize my 64gb exfat card. Id'ld goomanager from playstore & used it to install TWRP which recognized my card, no problem. Nandroid backup & then flashed Hyperdrive. Happy as a Skylark!

Personally I would just recommend re-formatting your card to Fat32 as it's super easy (literally takes like 60 seconds), and you won't run into any problems where your phone won't read it.
Here is a reasonably easy guide on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
Otherwise you need a kernel that will recognize Exfat, which now there are alot more than there used to be due to the source code being released.
Out of all the custom kernels for the S4 I would recommend KT747 most highly. It is without doubt the most popular kernel for the S4 and has enough features to keep you busy for weeks. Plus it's always being updated. If you do not want to reformat your card to Fat32 this kernel will read it. Here is the thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083
I would highly highly recommend installing TWRP recovery instead of CWMR as it's much easier to use and just a better recovery in my opinion. It doesn't have a problem with Exfat either. To install it just download the app Goomanager from the play store. Open it, grant it root privileges , then hit menu, then "installopenrecoveryscript" it will automatically install TWRP recovery over CWMR.
Good luck.

A strange thing about cwm recognizing exfat is that when I re-loki'd cwm 6.0.3.2 touch and made my own flashable zip it finally recognized my exfat card and allowed me to make back ups, etc. I don't remember if I made any other changes or not, I made a lot of flashable recoveries yesterday (see here ) also I cant get it to work on any other version of cwm. Im on stock mdk kernel.

Like I said, your best bet is to just reformat your card to fat32 and then you don't have to worry about it, and you won't need a custom kernel or different recovery just to be able to use the card. In that link I gave there is basically a one click tool to reformat to fat32. It's incredibly easy.

Guys,
This isn't an internal SD card. I bought on OTG cable. I have a thumbdrive I want to move files between on and off my phone with (Basically a music and movie repository).
I cannot get the drive to mount on my phone. I was told it's because of the kernel. It's currently formatted exFAT.

No I use twrp so Im good. I was just stating that ive got exfat to mount using cwm using the stock kernel recently, but I thought op was talking about an external sd. Plus I dont want to have to transfer everything to my pc to reformat for no reason/benefit.

Hey, nevermind, I figured it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979
Out of curiosity, how did you get it working? That thread states in the beginning that the USB storage doesn't work..? I had been under the impression that these (high-end Samsung) devices had OTG enabled since I have been explicitly testing for this due to some developments I'm working on...
Hey guys, I just posted here about my LGOG getting kernel errors and such. I have since fixed the issue, installed TWRP 2.3.6 (I believe) and flashed Cyanogen Mod's nightly build for CM 11, 12/11/13. The flash was successful and I have no issues other than my external SD card not being detected. TWRP also does not recognize the external.
I remember reading somewhere that it may be the format of the SD card causing it to not be read, but I'm not entirely sure. Any advice would be appreciated.
This was just me being kind of stupid. I should have figured that since CM11 has been out for 2 days that it's gonna be a bit unstable and I assume that external SD cards are a problem at the moment. I flashed the stable CM 10.2 build and everything works just fine.
Will be fixed soon.
