been flashing some of the roms for the V30 recently to see how they were and have been getting a "issue with SanDisk SD card" which would lead to having to format my sd card in order to use it as extra phone storage or portable storage, and have been wondering is this just a thing with 9.0 and sd cards in general or the roms? phone i have is US998 and the roms I've been flashing have been LineageOS 16.0 [Unofficial] and Dot OS 3.0.
Its the ROM. My 200gb sandisk card also refused to mount on AOSP Pie ROMs, even though it works fine on stock and TWRP. Might be because its formatted as exFAT
Haven't tried flashing any custom ROMs on my LG V30 yet, but I have had this issue crop up on older devices when toying with different ROMs..
In those cases, it was just a matter of one ROM expecting an SD card formatted in one file system, and another ROM utilizing a different file system.
If that's the case here, you'd best just backup the contents of the SD card to a computer, let the new ROM reformat the SD card, then restore the contents of the SD card from your computer backup.
DotOS works if your on the March version, April update broke it for me but my Sandisk 200Gb works perfectly on the march version. (VS996)
Confirmed, its due to said ROM being built without exFAT support in the kernel. Mainline AOSP doesn't have it, so its entirely up to the maintainer. FAT32 is a safe format, but it sucks if you want to use your sdcard to store large videos due to the 4gb limit

TiBu is fine with ext. SD, as is Total Commander file transfer. The 64 gb card used to work fine with TWRP, as did 2 other SD cards. Now, with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.5.1 I can't use them to nandroid. I have to use USB via Stickmount. I tried going back to TWRP 2.8.3.0 using the TWRP install function from internal storage but same problem. Cards are formatted to FAT32. I'm running the latest SkyDragon Rom and kernel. Tried going back to 2.9.4 kernel and then 12B stock kernel. No help. When I try to do a nandroid to the ext. SD it fails with the message that it can't write to external SD. The card is writable except to TWRP. Anyone know how to fix this?
I have had the same problem with my VS985 and Sandisk ultra 64gb card, I reformat and it works for a couple days and then it isn't recognized by phone at all either inserted into phone, otg/stickmount, or in TWRP 2.5.8.1/2.5.3.0 via otg or in phone. I went back to my Sandisk 32gb and havent have an issue since. For whatever reason the G3 just doesn't like 64gb cards- I've read the multiple threads on this issue and the end result is the same- just stick with a 32gb...
i have been using a 64g sandisk always, never had an issue.
My problem is not with the SD card (I don't think) because it is recognized by every app I use it for except TWRP. The card used to work with TWRP also but I can't get TWRP to see it now.
It WAS the SD card that TWRP didn't like. New 64 GB card solved problem. I still don't know how the old SD could stop being recognized by one app and still be OK for everything else but it happened.
So i have this little question. If i install my sd card as internal storage can i then still flash custom roms? I was thinking maybe the sd card will think my phone is a different one if i install a custom rom?
Thanks
Good question.
I'm currently using my SD card as adopted storage in CM13 and TWRP is able to see files on the SD card just fine.
However, after flashing the ROM, I'm not sure if Android will pick up that the card is adopted storage and just pull in the apps, or if it will make you format the SD card. I would think that the latter would only apply after a wipe of /data, but hopefully someone can chime in with actual experience on the matter.
So I bought a used Moto E 1st Gen to use while my Nexus 5X is being repaired, but I've found it to be almost unusable, thanks to its limited internal storage. It can't even update all the built in apps without running out of room, and none of them are transferable to my 32GB micro SD card! Installing new apps is very difficult, and sometimes impossible.
I think that part of the trouble is that it's running Android 5.1, which I believe significantly impaired the ability to make use of the external memory (right?).
I was hoping to use this phone temporarily as a backup device, and as such, I really just wanted it pure and simple and easy. The phone seems fine and the battery life is great, but I can't put all my apps on it.
So what's the most pragmatic way of dealing with this problem? Can I flash an older, stock ROM without having to unlock the bootloader? If I unlock it and flash a custom ROM, won't the later ones suffer this problem too? Would I be best using an older ROM from the days before Lollipop when external memory was easier to take advantage of?
Thanks wise sages, George

See friend, if you don't want to unlock your bootloader then you must flash the stock KitKat ROM as you can use your memory card to move the apps. But you can only move the apps which can be moved to external and if you have apps which can't be moved to external, you may run out of storage.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash Custom ROM which is MM or higher then you can use your memory card as adoptable storage. Using Sd Card as adopted storage would not let you run out of storage and is future proof as heavy apps moves automatically into adopted storage

Thank you, I hadn't heard of the adopted storage thing, because there's no SD card slot in the Nexus. It's exactly what I needed. I've installed the latest Lineage nightly and its working wonderfully, so far.

To make adoptable storage insert a card into your phone running MM or higher it will ask you if you want to use the SD card as a portable device or Internal. By selecting ‘Internal’ you are now moving to the new Adoptable Storage function and the SD card will be formatted. Make sure you backup your data on card and you must use a high speed(class 10) memory card.
As the title says it all maybe there's some advice or tips from you guys to get it recognized on my Poco F1.
I'm on OmniRom and after booting up the device with SD card it freezes all and got automatic reboot.
On LOS 16 I got bootloop.. Don't even booting up at all.
I need it because I need to put some files there to flash xiaomi.eu and that ofcourse will delete internal storage.
I'm not experienced with the MTP flashing or similar options but everybody is welcomed to help me with step by step instructions.
Thanks allot in advance Poco Fans:silly:
I don't think the roms support exfat microsd cards yet. There's a workaround though: format your sd card to FAT32 using a program on your pc (you will need another program because windows by default can't format large sdcards to fat32). The thing is that FAT32 doesn't support 4gb+ files so that could be an issue but at least it's better than no sdcard at all right.
Another option is to move the files manually temporarily to your pc using MTP so you can copy them back when you've flashed xiaomi.eu

Thanks for your Info. I remember that TWRP could format to FAT32 as well?
Or maybe I could buy another SD card with FAT 32 Format already?
adding exFAT support in rom is not a big thing... our kernel supporting exfat so its just the rom which needs some patches or commits!!
Does any android 11 Rom supports exFAT or 64GB+ Sd Card?
the last Android 11 rom i tried, i don't remember the name, says my 64GB SD card is corrupted. While it works flawlessly on Android 10.
Can someone give me a solution? about that or suggest any particular 11 rom, or any tricks?
Thanks In Advance

No (for exFAT).
I'm experiencing it now.
Sorry my phone is not xiaomi, it's an ASUS ZF MPM 1. On Custom ROM Colt 7 (Based on AOSP Android 11).
After read some articles on internet that ExFAT would be able to be read by my phone (which are false information! Damn), then,
I just formatted my 512GB Micro SD into ExFAT, and transfer my files (about few hours to do with a class 10 card, USB 3 card reader & ports) into it, on Windows 10 PC.
When I put it back on my phone, the phone forces me to format it first before I can use it as a Portable Storage. Which I know would be aFAT32 again like before. Damn.
Now I have to repeat the time consuming procedures again, put it out from my phone, put it into the USB card reader, copy all the files into my PC storage, re-format the Micro SD Card with FAT32, copy all the files back again into the Micro SD, and then I can use it in my phone.
Damn.
Don't repeat my fault. Maybe there are some phones and ROMs which can use ExFAT, you can try if you want. But IMO to be safe, just format it into FAT32. Yes, with all the limitation of FAT32 LOL.
Oh and about the solution of what you experience, perhaps.. Backup your Card, and then format it, I recommend to format it on PC or "with TWRP' if on your phone. I hope that can solve your problem like mine before.
Good luck

There's Lineage ROM Android 11 based for my Asus phone, but I like this COlt 7 for now. I like Lineage ROM, have been used it on my old phones few times, so
Maybe I'll try it later.
For now, IDK if it is worth enough to change ROM now only to try will I can have exFATcompatibility or not, but maybe some other time I could try.
does anyone know of a smartphone with android that absolutely certainly supports exfat or ntfs?
