Don't you just love it when someone just posts a link to an application which has so many variables and solutions to a problem? Are you sure any specific solution would resolve the OP's issue? Sounds like a tool to be very careful with as not to permanently loose data.

yes. Sometime, show the warning request fortmat Disc I: ( disc of A70) but can't format it. The warning only show in few second and then disappear.
Having trouble with the translation. If you can still get into the Boot Menu, but the ram disk doesn't show up when you select Update Firmware, it sounds like there's some hardware trouble. I'd try to contact support. Someone else may have some ideas, as well.
Thanks all, i found my problem. The cable was broken so i bought the new cable. it's ok.
I installed SDE, UrukDroid 1.0 successfull.

Don't format NTFS, it's not supported on every FW version. Make sure the partition table in MS-DOS type, and make sure the storage scheme on the A70 is set to Fat, not Ext3.

USB Host: NTFS?

Hi all.
Please i need help reading ntfs partitions with my SG3. First of all the main question: It's possible to read and write a USB Pendrive or HDD with SG3?
I have tried NTFS Mounter without luck. A 2.5'' HDD shows power but nothing happens. A USB Pendrive is recognized by SG3 but it asks me to erase the USB Storage.
Thank you very much.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but afaik the S3 does not bring native support for the ntfs-3g driver.
However since it has the Fuse kernel-module it would (should) not be that difficult to actually get it to work.
It brings out-of-the-box support for OTG USB-adapters and seems even to be able to handle USB-hubs with several usb sticks connected.
But, as said, not NTFS; only exFat/Fat32 and Linux filesystems such as EXT2/3/4.
I was able to use a script and ntfs-3g on my SG2 and it could read ntfs without problem problem. Anyone here has tried to do the same with a SG3?

for ntfs filesystem, maybe you need tools like paragon ntfs or ntfs mounter.
if you need storage for files files greater than 4go, you could also use ext4 file system which are usable with windows PC.
thanks

[Q] Unable to format 8gb microsdhc from FAT32 to exFAT

I want to root my S4 but I'm unable to format my 8gb SanDisk micro sdhc card. I've tried many methods and have been unsuccessful with Google. My stock windows xp formatting tool has the exFAT format option but when I try to format it, it says "Windows was unable to compete the format".
I've tried using an adapter into the memcard port, usb adapter as well as through my S4 while mounted. I've also tried through command prompt but it says "format not available for exFAT drives"or something similar. When I try third party format apps, exFAT isn't even an option. I can format between FAT32, NTFS and even RAW but not exFAT.
Can someone please offer a solution? Thanks.
Windows XP and exFAT
There is a compatibility issue with XP and exFAT. In order to make it work with XP you will have to install an update and/or service pack. A search through google should lead to you what is needed to be installed.

Thank you. I didn't try that because exFAT was an available option even though it wasn't working. I thought it being available meant I had the update. I'll try installing the appropriate update and post the results after.

[Q] SD Card NTFS Support?

Any good way to get NTFS support? I was using NtfsSd for a while https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oyaxai.ntfssd but it hasn't been updated for 4.2. Just wondering if anyone has a better solution.
Anybody?

Why would you want this? Have you tried ext4 or exFat?

Ext4 isn't supported natively by windows, therefore leading to compatibility issues with most of the worlds computers unless you install additional software (effectively defeating the purpose). exFAT on the other hand is more prone to corruption than NTFS. NTFS utilizes a redundant MFT record number (useful for recovering damaged MFT files). Since SD cards are essentially removable media, it is wise to build and maintain your foundation upon the format with the lowest chance of data loss.
Any suggestions?

My concern is that NTFS might not play well with android. Yes, it usually works fine with Linux, but NTFS is not an open source filesystem and any 3rd party driver written for it has the potential to cause problems and data loss.
Do you expect to frequently remove the SD card from your device? If not, ext4 would work fine (mounted via usb on your drive), and also provides superior journaling to NTFS.

Unfortunately yes I plan on removing it occasionally. When transferring a file from my PC to the SD card through my phone, any files larger than 4gb are immediately rejected, even when using exFAT or NTFS. I suspect this is because the PC cannot detect the format of the SD card while it is in the Phone and assumes it is FAT32. I've experienced no data issues using with NTFS and Android and have been using this system for 2 years now. I've even recovered from data corruption on a few occasions due to improper removal of cards and crashes and such. However, I've not been so fortunate with exFAT. While I could download files larger than 4gb from the PC instead of using the PC to push them to the phone, it would require each file be accessible by granting access to entire directories solely for the purpose of a temporary transfer session. This is obviously unacceptable for too many reasons to list here. If there was any other way I would gladly take it, but NTFS appears to be my best option and I would prefer not to settle for exFAT. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ty for your replies so far by the way
You're gonna have to wait for a custom kernel for NTFS support.
