awesome your the man gotta xda
I'm having trouble with getting my SGP321 accepting my exfat formatted card. I'm on .244.
When I insert the card and reboot the tablet I get error message "Storage capability has stopped", "USB-connection has stopped" and "Process android.process.media has stopped".
Also if I try entering Storage menu, Setting crashes. Anybody? I've formatted the card in Windows 8.

For some reason exfat didn't work on sgp321 until the upgrade to 4.2.2, this however was not the case with 311/312

I am on 4.2.2 - however apparently the formatting done in Windows 8 was not good enough for the tablet. I reformatted with SDFormatter and the problem was solved.

By pure accident I formatted the internal sd card on my atrix to ntfs. The problem is I cant seem to mount it in order to format it back to fat32. Any ideas?
How do you 'accidently' format the internal SD to ntfs???
How did I 'accidentally' format the internal sd card. Had an external sd card in, which for some reason was named to mot as well. Wasn't paying to much attention and wanted to format the external one to ntfs but must have clicked on the internal one.
That sucks d00d. If it was the external card - you could use a card reader and your PC to reformat.... Idk what to tell ya about the internal.... Maybe someone who's done this and fixed it could chip in with some info here? I did a quick search on it, and didnt turn up with anything... Sorry I can't help ya man.
Connect your phone to your PC, and format the card to fat32 the same way you did it to NTFS.

I tried to do that, but the problem is it wont mount. It says sd card damaged you may have to reformat it. But when I click that it says "sd card has been removed"
Try using CWM recovery to format the internal sd card.

Try formatting sd-ext or internal storage rather than /sdcard. Don't format anything like /osh, /data, /system, /cache etc.

Go to your device forum. People there are more likely to know and help you on how to solve your problem. The solution I will give is a Atrix only solution. I believe samsung has a software of the name "odin" but you have to check with the people in your phone forum.

Maybe you can try flashing a SBF. Make sure you know what you are doing, and flash the full one, some SBF leaves your internal SD untouched.
I just put my 32GB class 4 Adata memory card into my Legend and it won't mount. Is there something I can do about it ? I'm running Cyanogenmod7. I get "SD card safe to remove" notification upon boot.
Try first to farmat that card into windows as FAT32 (full format, not quick)
It might be a good idea to boot into clockwork mod and format and partition memory card with ext and fat32.

try to use chkflsh on your PC to test, wether all sectors are ok. May be, there are some defects.
It works perfectly in my Sansa Clip mp3 player.
alligator, I use Ubuntu, do you know any linux tool for that ?

Did your SD Card work before or is this the first time you've tried it?
If its your first time, it is mostly likely that the SD card is not compatible. Some SD cards are not compatible on the Legend so your best solution is to buy one that is. Or if you are pretty sure it works then you can always try reflashing your rom.
If it worked before then the best solution is to reflash the rom. I had to do it once and the issue was solved.
Good luck

Hi all,
after my previousl bootloop issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31996643#post31996643) my phone will not see sd cards, I have tried two cards, both of which were fine before.
In CWM i get error E: can't mount /sdcard/
when booted in settings -> storage I have nothing under external storage and mount SD card is greyed out.
I fixed bootloop by flashing back to stock then wiping cashe, davik and factory reset. I have since tried kies update and reroot.
Is there anything else I can do or have i destroyed the SD card slot?

Format FATG32 and test in a Windows PC .
jje
still nothing.
both my 32 and 8 gb cards read fine in windows but phone ignores them
is formatting your card in windows an option?
I had a similar issue, the phone can't detect my card, but it was fine on my PC. I formatted it and it's fine now.

reformat does not help, also tried to flash Siyah kernal but still no joy.
I have now tried restoring my most recent cm Nandroid in which everything worked and sd still won't mount. I am assuming it's a hardware issue.
Anyone know if it's an expensive repair?
Is there any way to tell if it's the SD tray or main board that's died?

You'll probably just have to use a different SD card.

If you can't format it or "repair" it, what other option do you really have..

Hi. Moved over to the 4.3.1 version of LiquidSmooth. Can't figure out how to format my SD card though. Only get the option to unmount it? I can't even format it in Windows like I have been able to previously.
Can anyone help please?
