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.

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.

i just switched up my sd card. i had an 32gb class 4 san disk sd card on my evo 3d and i replaced it with a san disk ultra 32gb class 10 sd. i just partitioned the sd and restored all my files onto the new card. question is, is it best to do a fresh install of the rom im running or will it be ok to just restore the nandroid backup? thanks.
sorry if its a dumb question.

I don't see why restoring the nandroid would be a problem. Files are files, regardless of partitions.

Should be ok to restore the nandroid. Try it and if it's unstable, then do a fresh install.

How do I set up the phone to make maximum use of the SD card? For some reason now I can't make good nandroid backups to the SD card, I end up with empty folders with bad dates (1970?). So I am carrying a nandroid on the internal memory for now, and that chews up 4+ gb.I would want as much as possible to go on the card, camera, music, etc.

recovery doesn't play well with sd cards formatted in the exFAT file format. if you reformat your sd card to fat32 then recovery will work no problems and your phone won't know the difference.
two words of caution; backup your sd card before formatting since formatting erases all your data, there is a file size limitation in fat32 that you cannot have a file with a size over 4gb. you can have folders that have more than 4gb in them, but it will have problems if you have a movie file over 4gb in size.
i have a 64gb sd card that was originally formatted in exFAT and recovery wouldn't write to it. backed up the card, reformatted to fat32, copied everything back and now recovery backs up to the card just fine.

Thanks! Was trying to remember the name of that app. I have a 32gig card coming in on Wednesday and can't wait to try it out.
Caching GMusic alone is worth it.

I went and got the premium version via in app purchase so I can just choose the main folder to mount and not every sub folder.

Be careful formatting 64gb cards to fat32. After a while they have data corruption issues. My SD card started failing had to go back to exfat. Twrp has excellent ex fat support

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?
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.
