Partitioning a SDHC 32gb card - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm trying to partitioning my sdcard to do the link to it and expand my storage capacity.
But I'm having a problem that when I made the procedures in my 32gb SDHC card, I can't get it right. Link2SD always get the invalid argument and the mount can't be created. I tried all the solutions that I found on internet before getting tired. So, I have this 2GB normal SD card and I did the procedure on it just to check if the problem was on the carrier and worked fine.
So, I wanna know if the problem is that the tutorials and workaround that I found over my searches doesn't work fine on the SDHC cards or if I'm doing something wrong.
My 32gb card function normally as storage for data and stuffs like this, but I couldn't partition it to use for the real purpose.
Thanks in advance for the help,

SD Card mount error

i have recently bought a TG01, when i got it it was running the orange WM6.1 rom, it wouldnt detect either my 4GB or 8GB micro sd cards, i had to lend a 1GB card to run the official 6.5 update, now the 4 and 8gb cards are detected but whenever i try to flash a rom i get SD Mount error after it loads the SDDL. anyone know why this would happen and if it could be due to that its been partitioned for use on a hero previously?

From the beginning we have problem with the cards. You can find more info in (http://www.modaco.com/content/toshi...m/291115/toshiba-tg01-memory-card-corruption/).
Try to format your card and start from 0.

Try to format your card and start from 0. I had this problem but don't remember with witch program I format the sd card. Wen I bought my TG01 it show me just 1GB and the card was 8GB then I find some info that you need to format y our card but I didn't find now where is this info. In the modaco web you can find more info and in google about this.
ive tried formatting it several times, the phone picks up the card fine when in winmo, i just cant flash any roms with it as the SDDL cant mount it.

To format your card use (“sdfv2000.exe”) I uploaded for you. Try it if not working I have an other solution.
Same Issue.
I have been having the same issue since day 1. Has driven me insane with program's icons that are loaded up on the sd card not showing up properly in the start menu, they always have a blank icon on them. Has really driven me crazy. Has anyone found a solution to this?
try and use sddl+ to flash the rom instead of just sddl
Already did that.

Thank you for your advice however I already tried that potential solution and many different roms and radios, I tried formatting my SD card with the Panasonic sd card format utility, but no luck. Would getting a class 10 Kingston card be a smart idea? Or maybe I need to buy a slower Transflash card? I have a 4GB Class 6 from SanDisk but the same error occurs. Do I and the other people have defective phones, or is this an issue that can be solved? What should I do?

I've never had a problem with SD Card. Now I bought a 16GB Kingston Class 10. I have no problem with the card, work properly.
Getting a class 10.
Tell ya what, I will get the class 10 cuz more space is always good, I will let everyone know if it has solved the problem. Before I do this, I am just going to buy an el-cheapo class nothing sd card and see if the same problem occurs and then I will have tested the range so to speak. I will report anything interesting.

[Q] After 2.3.3 16GB SanDisk MicroSDHC no longer recognized

Kind of a newbie here so I apologize if this should go somewhere else.
I have searched and looked through other areas on the forums for anyone else having the same issue or a solution. I don't find much on microSD issues for the X10.
I'm wondering if anyone more experienced might know why after updating my X10a to X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897, the 16GB SanDisk Class 2 MicroSDHC is no longer recognized.
It worked fine previously.
I've tried formatting it FAT32 with default allocation size.
A 2GB card works fine.
Any ideas?
Get a free partition manager, than, format in FAT.
Thanks for the suggestion
I was able to make a 4gig FAT partition work but didn't want to loose the other 12GB.
I downloaded MiniTool Partition Wizard and created a 14.83 GB linux swap file partition. When I put it back in the phone it recognized the whole partition as unreadable and formatted it automatically.
It works now. thanks for the reply.

hi all,

How did you format the card? It is a known issue that ExFat Formatting on 64G cards will NOT work on the SGSIII and you have to format your card as Fat32.
Try and format the card on your computer as Fat32 and it should work.
It's because the 64gb sandisk is formatted by default as exFat, which is not supported by CWM
The only solution to this is to remformat the card, probably at fat32 as this is the most widely used but BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA FROM extSD FIRST!! as reformatting will wipe the card
Then CWM will recognise this as normal
Mind you fat32 does have its disadvantages, mainly that you won't be able t have a single file bigger then 4gb on it
eh more than 4gb? then whats point of having 64gb SDcard?
i didnt know that was issue with the s3 will there be exFat support in CWM? its really frustrating
Thanks for replies
It's not an issue with the S3 I believe, it's just CWM -no idea if it will be updated to support it though :S
The 4gb thing only means that any one file cannot be bigger then 4gb e.g. you couldn't have a movie file that is 4.5gb in size.
Really it's no problem to have it as fat32 unless you have seriously big files

It is unknown at this time if ExFat will be properly supported but I would assume that at some point it may be. Also, just in case you dont already know, The SGSIII is NOT capable of moving apps to the ExtSD card natively either so if that is one of the reasons you bought such a big card, I hate to "bring you down".
There are some methods to switch your internal and external SD cards to assist in this issue but you will have to search and read the threads to find out the methods.
Just so you know...
yeah i know that i just backup using appcontrol and then move them to exSD
thats quite helpful i didnt know all this else i'd have not given up my 32gb card its quite lame TBH!
cheers for the help least i wont keep formatting my sd card now lol

[Q] Partition SD cards on Viewpad

I have looked through the various threads regarding SD cards but cannot find anything relating to SD cards and the Viewpad7. I have tried to use Minitools partition Wizard to set up partitions but when I do, the Viewpad throws a wobbly and says that the SD card is damaged. If I then format the SD card in the viewpad it is ok but not partioned. I have tried this both in the Viewpad and fitting the SD to a card reader direct to the computer.
The reason I want to set up partitions is to use Link2SD so that I can get apps off my Viewpad into the SD card but Link2SD requires two partitions in order to work. There is also a need toload "Busy" and other issue regarding being able to "root" the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

SD Card Won't Mount

I know there are numerous posts on this, however I could not find one that addressed my specific situation.
I have a rooted Lg G3 with stock rom and I am trying to use a class 10 SanDisk Extreme (16gb). The micro sd card read just fine on my computer with no problem at all with reading and writing data, however when I plug it in my phone I get a dialog that addresses the fact that a micro SD card. But when I check the storage setting I see that it has failed to mount.
To see if its a functionality problem on my phone i mounted a class 4 SanDisk micro SD with no error. I tried formatting the sd card through my computer to NTFS and FAT32 with 32 kb allocation size (quick format switched off) yet still no luck. Is it a possibility that LG G3 is not compatible with class 10 micro SD Cards?
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for your time.
Just to update the information I posted above, but I tried mounting the SD card on my friend's Verizon Galaxy S5 and it ended up successfully being able to read and format it. Maybe it's my phone? If so is there anyway of fixing it or possibly modifying it?
It is possible that the handset cannot read/mount Class 10 cards, I've seen it mentioned in threads before about trouble with mounting SDCards, Class 10 seems to be the biggest problem I've seem mentioned.
Use the search for Class 10 on the forums and see if a solution is available
