Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem with my pen drive. It's a 512gb SanDisk which I formatted to fat32.
When it's freshly formatted it works very well with the phone, but when I put files on it (~360gb mp3s) the phone just says it needs to format the flash drive. If I try to format it, the phone switches, after a while, in to something which resembles a boot loop screen until it's (manually) rebooted (and the pen drive is corrupted and needs to be formatted on the pc again)
Do you have an idea how I can get this to work?
If there is already a thread with a solution to my problem I'm sorry, I couldn't find it , but at least I tried to find it
I'm on Miui 11.0.9. 0 global non root.
Thank you in advance!

I am hoping someone could answer this question since nobody has never asked before. I bought a Kingston 32GB micro sdhc card. The model number is SD-C02G made in Taiwan. When I popped in the card into the tablet, it says the card is damaged, formatting is needed. I tried to click on the format button and nothing happened. But, when I test the card on other devices (cell phone & camera & computer), it had no problems at all. No formatting or anything was needed. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to get this fixed?
I am running vegan tab 5.1.1 by the way.
Thanks a lot!

did you try to format using ur PC in Fat32?
nvm...problem is fixed now. i found out that the memory card was loose probably. Didnt come into full contact with all the pins. Thank you for your reply anyway.
I had the same issue with my new 16 gig card, I let the gtab format it, then rebooted with the card installed, have had no issues for 2 weeks now, card is full of movies and everything works like a champ!
Ok got my sandisk 32GB card from Amazon. I put it in the Gtab but couldn't format the card. Put it on my mac and saw it wasn't formatted at all so I formatted it. No go on the Gtab again... said I need to reformat but the Gtab wouldn't do it. I tried windows to format Fat32 with fast off but kept crashing during format (only showed 27Gb BTW). Searched around and came across windows based program from Panasonic/official micro sd standards site (sdformatter V3). Ran this program selecting all wipe options. The program took 5 days! Successfully finished this morning with correct fat32 so I thought all was well connected to both mac and windows I cant get files to transfer onto the card. I set up a couple media folders but once I start the file transfer it will give me error: improper disk ejection and still show folders. On windows I can get a few files to the card before I get ether "file is corrupt" or I can see that the transfer has stopped and I can see its lost connection between windows and SD card. Did I get a bad card or is there anything I can try here? BTW after that long and painful format Gtab could recognize the SD and I could see the folders I was able to make on the card.
Update:
Now a pop up window for fixing the card has come up on windows once I connected the card reader. I checked the 2 options "Auto fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" has been running for 10min and progress bar is half way. hope it fix my problem!
kraftweksfit,
The 32 gig cards have worked back to the beginning as far as I have ever heard.
My opinion, but if it were my card I would return it and ask for one that is not defective.
When you get a good one, make sure it is formatted (on your PC) to FAT32. I also
have found the USB port and card slot are not plug and play like Windows. I
always change them while the G-Tablet is off to all it to search and find them on startup.

Thanks for that info. I had to shut everything down as my workday was over so now after those 2 windows fixes ran I'm just getting everything back up now at home. So Ive got multiple 2GB movie files to transfer. I still get the random "explorer is not responding" freeze issue on file transfers though. Should I just keep reformatting the card to see if it will fix the issue? Or give up on it and wipe and send it back?
trojan, I've got a question. have you tried putting more than 2 gb on the card? I can't seem to find a 32 gb version of the SD-C02G. Also have you done any speed tests on it?

That Panasonic tool is a favorite over in headfi-org - I've been using the older version for years and it actually works on a Windows VM. We used to use it on our Cowon D2 to ensure that our SDHC cards were being read properly.
For v2, if you do a quick format it should not take that long.

So you think the card just needs to be reformatted again? If so I'll try the quick option. When that program took so long I thought for sure something was wrong. BTW all references to windows are on VM on my mac as well.
Should I be worried that my Gtab can't format the card? I'm on Vegan 5.1
thanks
UPDATE:So I ran the quick option of SDformat V3 with no problems, was able to transfer one 2GB movie no problem. I went to try to move more files and instantly the progress bar for transfer does not move, "more details" tab shows est. time calculating... so my guess is windows explorer lost connection with the card. also every time I eject the card/reader windows want to fix errors which I've already run so I think this card is dead!
Bad SanDisk is on it way back, after browsing amazon I came across a Kingston 32GB micro sd with adapter class 4 for 39.99 + shipping. I went for the store front offering for 41.99 + 9.98 shipping. Best price I can find for a quality card if anyone is looking for one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QQKI0G
Hi all.
Here's the situation:
I have a 32 gb Sandisk (unsure of the class) sd card I've used with 2 different phones for at least over a year now. I took the card out of my phone to connect it through my laptops built in card reader for the purpose of transferring large files (card reader speeds are much faster than usb mounting through the phone for me). When I put it in the computer Windows wouldn't recognize it. Now it won't mount in my phone at all, and it won't work correctly on my PC. When I connect it to my computer it says the card needs to be formatted before use, but then when I go to format it, it shows up on the Windows formatting screen as only having a 30.6 mb capacity and I get the message "Windows was unable to complete the format" whenever I try to format it, no matter the settings.
So my question is, how do I get the darn thing to work again? I think something must have happened between shutting my phone down to remove it and putting it in my computer. I just don't know what. Anyone else ever experience this? (I've already given up on recovering all of my files, but if it's possible to save them that would be amazing )
Things I've tried:
formatting via Windows
formatting via android
formatting /external_sd via Clockworkmod recovery
a couple different data recovery/partitioning programs (Partition Wizard and PhotoRec/TestDisk
also using "chkdsk" in windows command prompt returns saying that the disk is in the "RAW" format.
Additional info:
Phone: Motorola Droid RAZR HD (XT926) (Verizon)
ROM: XenonHD 11.01 (Android version 4.2.2, AOSP based)
Sorry if this is more lengthy than necessary, just trying to be thorough and cover all the bases!
Thanks in advance for your help!
I have a Samsung GT-i9100 and all I wanted to do was install CyanogenMod 12.1 custom ROM and partition the internal SD to something like 4 GB rather than 2 GB. WELL... this has been a complete nightmare.
I already had Slimsaber's custom ROM (Kitkat 4.4.4) with TWRP. I decided to wipe everything to start fresh. Then I went to mount the microsd card to install the new ROM... and... nothing happens. It won't mount. No error, no nothing. Just highlights blue as if it's about to mount, but it never gets the X in the box beside it and mounts. Just continues to be a blank box. I can't access the microSD card at all. The card I have is FAT32 and it works in other Android systems just fine.
Then I try mounting the USB to my computer. Nothing. No sounds like Windows is detecting it. Nothing. I make sure I have all the appropriate drivers installed. Nothing.
So off I go to try Odin. Still no detection on my computer. So I can't use Odin either.
What do I do?!?!
Stupid cord. It was the stupid cord. I switched it and now ADB sideloader, and USB Storage and everything works fine. Ugh. Transferring ROM file to flash right now!!!
Although if someone could shed some light as to why I can't mount the microSD card... that would be great.

It could be many factors. Sometimes changing the recovery will make it work, it could be the sd card has shat itself. Try flashing the latest philz recovery from sdcard0 then reboot into recovery. This has worked for me in the past
Hello friends and happy New Year ,
I have problem and I need some assistance, if it is possible (of course ).
I have bought an Kingston UHS 3 Micro SD Card and mounted it as a Internal storage device on my Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2) unrooted phone. The thing is as I downloaded a cache file from the Google play store, my phone froze so i turned it off, and after turning it on again, it said that my card is corrupted, and that I should try formatting it, which is, you guessed it - not possible. I got a nice message from android which goes something like this : "common 7 volume partition disk 179,64 public failed with null". So I took my card reader, placed it in my PC USB port and nothing happened. My PC doesn't recognize anything, so i went to Disk Managment, and i can see it there, but it doesn't have a "Volume Letter", so I tried giving it one, without success. DISKPART doesn't work, Mini Tool Partition Wizard just freezes, EaseUS also. To be honest, I don't care for files on my card, because it didn't had any , I just want to make it work. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
P.S. I think that the card is now in "read - only" mode.
Thank you.
Hello, today I wiped my data thru TWRP and now im stuck in boot system ( Pixel Experience )
My pc doesnt recognize my phone , maybe its the cable or the port fault, so i cannot transfer files. I thought to use an micro sd card, I found one in the house but its very old ( 128Mb ) I know in system it used to work but in TWRP I dont see any external storage. I even formated in FAT32 the sdcard, it may not work
because it's very old? Shall I try to get a new one? Whats the solutin if a new cable and a new micro sd card wont work to transfer files into my storage?
Format data again from TWRP. Restart to recovery.
See if your PC recognizes your phone.

I don't understand why it doesn't detect my micro sd, I tried with another one and twrp doesn't see any other storage. I think my cable is screwed that's why it doesn't connect to PC, also it charges only with only slow charging mode, I hope its not my port fault.
Strange, I would try formatting internal storage too.
Another option would be pen drive with otg cable/adapter.
Ensure the storage is mounted.
I cleaned very well my port and now it worked
