exFAT or 64GB+ Sd Card on Android 11? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

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?

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?

[Q] MicroSD card issue

Hello there,
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card.
After inserting it, I made sure the phone sees it, and the computer sees it.
So I started transfering files to it...
Every time I try to transfer files to it, the cards sort of unmount, the computer stops seeing the External/Internal storage drivers info (0/0 KB and no files).
I realized I might be needing to format it, so I went to recovery and formatted the external card. Still no good...
If I don't try to transfer files, the internal sd card still works fine.
Am I formatting it wrong? or some other issue? Did I buy a faulty card?
Thanks!
P.S. Some info incase needed:
Using Galaxy S2 obviously, Resurrection Remix ICS 4.04
My PC is running XP SP3
[edit]
Added some pictures to demonstrate what I mean.

Pic 2: The error I get, doesn't mean much except that the pc doesn't recognize the storage device, but just for the heck of it.

If unsure about the quality of your SD card google for h2testw. It is a Windows test software you can use to test your SD card.
Tried formatting it... still no good.
And h2test tries to copy a file repeatedly and after some time it also gets stuck like I do manually...
I was running into the exact same issue as you with an SD card awhile back. Tried many, if not all of the suggestions listed here. Sometimes, the cards just die on you, especially at the most inopportune times...

Open CMD
Type format [letter_of_external_card]: /x
ex.
format E: /x
and wait.
Then format again (through Windows Explorer) with this settings:
FAT32
default allocation size
fast formatting checked
and share the results.

Failure of h2test is normally due to defective hardware.
For SD cards I do not really know but when it comes to USB sticks there are many around that are just cheap crap. You could for instance buy a 8GB stick that will happily accept 8GB of data but only store 4-6GB!. This is where h2test comes into play: it will not only write but also read and therefore check if the data written was really stored in the flash.

Class 10? That card might be just too fast for your hardware.
I'm using Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and never had any problems.
I have tried some Class 6 and Class 8 cards with very various results.
Only class 8 card I found correctly working in my device was Memorex, but it was only 4GB.
So I gave up on fast cards...
its fake or corrupt,did you buy the samsung off a retailer , you always test flash with h2testw before you use it, speed is not the issue,i got a class 10 32gb i had many 16,256,4gb fakes, only 3.7 gb usable droped down to 1kb write then windows couldnt read the storage so you reformat again.

How to reformat SD card from exFAT

Since exFAT is not supported by AOKP roms and I plan to use one, I have to reformat my sd card. The thing is I don't know how and I cant even find out how to do it.
I've tried reformating in CWM, in Android itself and in Windows (by plugging the phone). There is no option of changing the partition format.
The only way possible is plugging the SDcard directly to the computer? I dont have any adapter so I cant really do it wihout buying one
I use either EaseUS Partition Manager or MiniTool Partition Wizard...google them, you can reformat any SD card to pretty much any format

Format it from within the phone.. Go to settings >storage.. It will format it in fat32
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
Oh, I did format it from within the phone earlier, just like you said. It is in fat32 then I guess, will install an aosp rom later and check it (im currently on sammy based)
thanks guys
Well If it is different can't you just install the new rom then format the card within the new rom??
Also i am sure the GS3 formats the card to exfat and not FAT32 as i thought we didn't have the 4gb limitations??

[Q] μ files on my sd card. is GS3 frying sd card?

First of all, im using a 4.1.2 stock and my device is rooted
So i had an Sandisk 64 GB class 10 for some time which one day became a "read - only" card...
So afterwards i bought a Samsung 32 GB class 10 which I found out also had problems because i could put about 10GB of files and everything more that 10 GB turned into wierd folders that their name starts with "μ" and there where no actual content inside and i couldn't delete them.
So now i'm at my third try, again with a Samsung 32 GB class 10 which also has the same problem, only now i can write on it about 20 GB of data before files start to get curropted.
Just want to say i bought all 3 SD card from Ebay, and though i guess they might be fake (tons of bad luck), after searching the web I found out there are many GS3 users with the same problem...
So i just want to put an end for this question..
Is GS3 frying SD cards? is there something i can do to stop it from destroying SD cards? can i fix somehow the SD cards?
thanks alot!
Hi! when you are asking a question you should include details such as operating system(4.1.2 , 4.3, 4.4, stock, rooted and so on) and file system. I noticed while searching google that the majority of "s3 fried sd cards" so to speak are sandisk and in your case it seams that there is no such "limitation". Maybe if you give more details someone might be able to help.

Well, I edited my post.

What type of file system do you have on sd card? is it fat32 or Ext4?

not sure. I formated it with my GS3 and the computer won't recognize it without reformating it.
Worst case scenario is your phone somehow corrupted the sd card and that is that. I had a similar problem with my usb flash drive which i used on-the-go and unmounted it before removing it but when it happened i didn't make a backup(as always) and got stuck with a nice keychain. If you have the possibility to format it under windows with a card reader and choose fat32 at least you have a working sd card, otherwise use your warranty for the sd card(if you have one) and always BACKUP.

but do you think that my device is malfunctuning in a way that will keep frying my SD cards..?
well since this is the second sd card i personally send it on warranty(as hard as it may be without the phone) because it seems that something is not right with the contacts of the card reader circuit board. I read somewhere that on some phones the card reader slot had some contacts partially detached and so the sd card kept getting corrupted. Search a bit on google about this issue and take into consideration using your phone's warranty. Best of luck!
That is a bit strange. Unless you're used to remove the sd card with the phone accesing to it (no safe removing) or removing the battery while the phone is running, that's absolutely not normal.
I have my 32GB sd since 2010 and I never had any problem. I formatted it this year because it had tons of useless data and I liked to have it clean.
Of course it's not from Ebay! That is bulls**t and use to fail suddenly.

SD Card SanDisk 64GB not working on Custom ROMS

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!!

sandisk SD card error with 9.0 roms

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
