hello, i have LG Optimus L9, and i want to flashing CM10.1 official builds.
and now i'm facing problem with sdcard
so, i just want to swapping sdcard and i want to moving apps
how to do it? thank before.
Currently using a Samsung 64gb micro card formatted fat32 - questions
(1) Does it need to be formatted exfat to take advantage of the TW ME7 updated ROMs? and if so,
(2) Will I still be able to access non TW ROMs with an exfat formatted card? Lastly
(3) Any advantage having a sd-ext partition? Used this with apps2sd pre S4
Tried searching - honestly couldn't find direct answers

Are you currently on MDK and plan to run ME7 based custom ROM's? If so then you can do custom ROM's. I would format your 64GB card to exFAT anyways given the fact that it supports larger file sizes like movies, etc. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to access the exFAT card with any ROM since I have stock TW ME7 rooted and my card is a Samsung 64GB exFAT format. I hope that helps some.
Raptor -
Tried some ME7 Rom's but they seemed not to be moving the apps to the sd card correctly - when I tried to move them manually, I got a "unable to move - card full" error msg.
I thought perhaps this was because of the fat32 format.
Also like to go back and forth between TW and AOSP Rom's and I thought I read that AOSP kernels don't support exfat????? Also need to check that the recovery I'm using (OUDHs CWM 1.0.3.5) supports exfat. I recall being unable to get it to recognize my card until it was formatted fat32.
Thanks for the reply!
I wonder if there is something in how Samsung wrote that ability into the ROM and the devs may be having an issue with finding the right hooks.

Could be - I guess I could back up my card, reformat exfat, and give it go. Unfortunately, I'd have to switch recoveries - Shabbypenguin's recovery does not support exfat. Probably give TWRP a go.......

I am not familliar with Shabbypenuin's recovery tool, but TWRP has been awesome for me on the last several Android phones. I would give that a go.

It has more to do with the Kernel than the actual ROM. Most custom kernels are now supporting ExFat. The only one I have tried lately that doesn't is Elites Kernel but I am sure that will change soon.
Hi,
Anyone having SD card issues?
This phone for some reason does not like my SD cards and I finally had to format it as NTFS then insert it in the phone and let the phone erase/reformat the card.
No card that I have that was already formatted with data will work in the phone.
I haven't had this issue with any other Android phone.
When I first got the phone, not thinking I put my half full 128GB card in the phone from my GS4.
Needless to say, I had some backups but the latest pictures and movies from two weeks prior are possiblly toast.
I'm running a recovery program now.
Note to all: DO NOT PUT A CARD IN THE LG G3 THAT HAS DATA ON IT!!!!!!
You do not want to be like me.

Nope enabled full access.
It's not an access issue.
Enabled access on this phone and my GS4 was also rooted and I was using Xposed.
In my case the card is unrecognized or if it is, it is considered damaged or blank.
I put in a Sandisk 128GB FAT32 formatted (in Win 7) card that I was using in a Galaxy S3 into the LG G3 and it recognized the card and all the existing data that was on it. I am able to at least read from it without problem. I have not tried writing to the card yet.
I use a tool on Windows pc to format the sd card as fat32 since exFat is proprietary to Microsoft which causes different devices to have different standards. No problem at all with Fat32 unless you want to copy a file larger than 4gb over.
Hello. I'm new here and this is my first reply.
But anyway, yes I put my sd card in my brand new Verizon LG G3 and all of a sudden it's wiped. I had to find some way to try to restore my files so I searched xda and found something about Zar recovery from 2011 I think it was. I should look it up again so can send a thanks. I'm copying files to my computer as I'm typing this. Hope I can retrieve everything. If I do I will defiantly look up that post and thank the OP. It's the free version and it's taking a very long time but hey. I started this process yesterday at about 9pm after a couple of failed attempts.

I think my issue was with exFat. The phone didn't recognize it and threw up a fur ball.
My Galaxy S4 was just fine with it.
Note to self -. exFAT is bad on LG phones.

I pulled the 32GB SD card I had in my GPad and put it right into my Verizon G3....read the few pics and videos I had on it, and shows about 28GB of free space. So...I surely didn't have this issue (and it was pics of my niece so if I had lost them I would have been cheesed)
I think the Verizon version of the G3 has a bug with 128GB sdcards. When I pulled my card from the S5 and put it in the G3, it damaged the file structure and needed to format the card. I tried putting it back in the S5 before I formatted it and the S5 couldn't read it anymore. This scenario has happened on more than one occasion too when going back and forth between the S5 and the G3. It never happened with the AT&T version.

Okay, so it wasn't just me.
This is *EXACTLY* what I experienced.
I had to use recovery software to get my pictures back.
I need to manually go the the recovered files before I wipe the card.

My 64GB card has no problems. I can move it between the two with no issues.

Right. 128GB card has problems; 64GB card has no problem. I have tried both.
Zar took a total of 41 hours
And only recovered one song and one picture. Oh my god I should have backed up before I messed with that sd card.

I was able to get quite a bit off, several thousand.
What software are you using?
I'm using photorec -< http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
Update: It has nothing to do with exFAT.
I formatted the 128GB card on my Mac with exFAT and it works fine. I've been back and forth between the Mac and my G3 with the newly formatted 128GB card.
I think it had issues from the GS4. I went directly from GS4 to G3 and that is when things went south.
I have transferred more than 75GB onto the card both through the G3 and stand alone with an adapter with no issues.
So I was able to recover most stuff and now using the card after formatting on the Mac with no issues. YMMV, but if moving from one phone to another I would put the card in a PC/Mac whatever, backup and repair any file system issues *BEFORE* using the card in a G3.
Which is good advise anyway.

Anyone wandering around with 32GB-64GB-128GB of data in their pocket without it being backed up is just asking for trouble. Historically, microSD cards are not that reliable.
My g3 had no issues reading my 64gb card, it does however have issues with saving data on to it, anytime I try to dl something and save it to my sd card is says failed no space available, which is not the case as I have around 8gb of free space, its weird because I can dl to internal memory and then transfer it to my sd card without a problem

So it has something to do with Samsung's implementation of exFat. The GS3's exFat was already corrupting and losing files when I first got my sd card which is why I formatted it to FAT32 in the first place. Wouldn't surprise me that the GS4 wasn't perfect either.

I've had the most luck recovering a corrupt sd card with a program called Recuva. Depending on the extent of the corruption there may not be much left to recover, but a second option never hurts.
okay i have cm nightly 13 on my d415. im using cmw which originaly read my zipz and imgs from my internal ie storage/sdcard/emulated/0. but when i download roms and things to my external sd cwm doesnt read my sd-ext as it puts it because for some dumb reason the d415s internal has a partition that emulates external which is tricking my cwm causing me to not be able to update zipz and such. also im using marshmallows external as internal which i thought would fix the issue by making the external the internal but it didnt. please help
Hello hello XDA members just got my G5 yesterday and I noticed that it's encrypted already is anybody else's encrypted straight out the box? And though I do like to encrypt my phone I like to do it myself and I didn't see a way to unencrypt it, anyone?
mine's encrypted, i just assumed it was because i put a memory card in
Mine is encrypted as well...however I did boot up the device initially with my sd card installed.
http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/2...isk-encryption-mandatory-for-most-new-devices
The good thing is that they are using UFS for the on-board storage so the performance should be fine.
I came from the v10 I was rooted once I encrypted my device I couldn't get into recovery I wonder if that is playing into the rooting problem
T-Mo US. Also encrypted out of the box. Wow, no lag at all.
any way to remove this encryption? mine also is as such from fido in canada

Not without rooting it, which we can't do on our Canadian G5's. (yet?)
