[Q] Candy ROM cannot find SD card - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi,
I just install my device with Candy Rom, and really feel it is great. But when I trying to find files in SD card, I find there is nothing in ext_card, and the file manager cannot find SD card.
I have set the kernel as the boot.img in the rom, and wiped all data before install the ROM.
I also tried Slim because Candy Rom is based on Slim, it could find the SD card.
Is there some solutions for this situation?
Thank you in advance for the coming comments.

What format is the card? exfat?
exfat isn't widely supported in AOSP

I am not sure, maybe it is exfat. I am a newbee of smartphones. Is Slim not AOSP? My SD card works right under Slim. I think I should learn more about android, thank you!

Instaling AOSP, CM10 or AOKP queries

Hi,
I'm looking to swap roms to SuperNexus which is by all account an AOSP rom.
I've learnt that you have to use FAT32 as your file system as it will corrupt the data on the card forcing a reformat if you don't.
So i can format to FAT32 no problem but I am also planning on using the ext2internal mod and i was wondering if i should format both my internal SD as well as my external SD as FAT32 or not?
I have an i9300 and a 64GB sdxc class 10 card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[Q] External sd card problem after aokp flash

So I recently rooted my Verizon Note II, rooted with casual and twrp. I flashed the milestone version of aokp and for some reason cannot mount my external sd card. I get an error message that says "sd card is blank or has an unsupported filesystem". The sd card was working fine on my rooted phone before flashing aokp. Any ideas?

Its my understanding some Roms dont support exFat, a file system format used by SD Cards. you should try backing up the data and then formatting it to fat32.

thanks for the advice. It seems like aokp can reformat the card itself, but I'm a little afraid to let it try. I was also just reading about using siyah kernal and another thing called vold-exfat that lets you use an exfat formatted card. I think I'm gonna do one of these two things but it seems easiest to let aokp reformat my card if it will actually reformat my 64gb sd to fat32. I haven't been able to find out what it will reformat to though... very confusing

It won't reformat a 64GB card right. Download something likr EaseUS or another formatting tool. There is one that is posted on XDA quite a bit but for the life of me I can't remember its name.

[Q] Can't Mount External SD Card (64GB) in Recovery?

I am having some very weird issues with my SD card. I had a Samsung 64GB SD card that was behaving normally. I was actually able to see items in the SD card while in recovery. However, it was not allowing me to install any ROMs from it (they would just immediately fail). After that, it would not longer mount in Recovery. It would still show up on the computer when using MTP, but something happened and it got corrupted. I tried everything to bring it back to life, but nothing I found worked.
I then bought another 64GB SD card, this time a SanDisk. It too can be seen through MTP, but the SD card won't allow me to mount it in Recovery at all.
The only way I can flash ROMs is by using the internal SD card. That doesn't bother me, but I wonder if why this is happening. I suspect it has something to do with being a 64GB card...
Any help would be much appreciated!
If you have the SD card formatted exfat and you are using clockworkmod for recovery that would be the reason.
CWM recovery won't read exfat.

Had a feeling it might be that. I'll switch to another and give it a shot.
Any reason why it wouldn't mount while in a custom ROM? I'm using LiquidSmooth right now and it won't allow the SD card to mount. Just doesn't see it for whatever reason...

That would be kernel dependent.

There are a lot of kernels out there, find one that is compatible with exfat and you will solve that problem.
I have had good luck with faux kernel myself.

Solved use 64gb sd in recovery!

Your problem is not kernel or ROM based, but as noted, it is Custom Recovery Based. Due to legal resons, they cannot support ExFAT and I have tried NTFS. Use EASEUS PARTITION MANAGER TO FORMAT INTO FAT32 THEN RECOVERY WILL RECOGNIZE 64GB SANDISK SD CARD!!!! PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM

CM.10.1
ChronicKernel --- THANKS CK for the only AOSP kernel i could find that worked with CM!(Everything else was TW) Fast charge should be standerd in custom rom kernels......

[Q] Slimkat Weekly 2.0 unable to mount SDcard

My SDcard isn't mounting but I'm able to access the card in TWRP. This is the thrid revision of Slimkat that I've used that doesn't seem to want to mount the SD card. I can clean install to another rom and have no issues accessing the SD card. Is there a setting or something else I need to do to make this work?
Bump, still haven't found a fix for this.
Is it formatted in exFat? If it is, I don't think Slim is configured to mount exFat yet by default, unless you are running KToonsez kernel I beleive.

That was it...I formatted to NTFS and it saw the card but it's totally useless. Thank you!

There are tools that allow you to format 64Gb cards as FAT32 versus exFAT.
