HELP! Problems with new Sandisk 64GB Micro SD

Hi all, this may have been asked a thousand times but I cannot find a definitive answer to this. I bought a 64GB Sandisk Micro SD Class 6 card to use for all my games and stuff. I received it today and tried putting it in my phone. It always shows as damaged card, so I tried the proper steps of pulling down the notification bar, selecting the card and the phone told me it would need formatting, so I clicked format.
But to my dismay the bloody phone formatted the internal USB storage so I lost all my pictures and personal stuff!!!
To add insult to injury, I cannot get this bloody card to format and work no matter what I try. I haven't formatted or partitioned it in my PC, only tried through the phone.
Please, please can anyone help???

Got it sorted. Mods can delete this thread if need be

Maybe you should tell how you did it for other people with the same problem. I was also thinking of buying this 64 GB SD-Card and who knows maybe I stumble upon the same problem

Sorry, I would have posted it up as soon as I sorted it but I was in a flap trying to get my phone back up and running properly.
What it seems to boil down to is that custom ROMs generally don't format the external SD cards correctly, or so I read somewhere on a thread on XDA (I think it was in the T989 thread or something like that). I used the free EaseUS Partition Manager tool to first remove the partition on the card (64GB formatted to exFAT), then create a new 64GB Fat32 partition. I don't know whether it was necessary but I flashed Samsung standard LP7 Rom to my phone and fully factory reset the phone.
After that was done, I inserted the 64GB card, booted up and went through settings-> storage and erased the SD card to make sure it was formatted correctly for the S2
...and voila
Hope that helps someone out

Get the app undelete to restore your deleted stuff

My SD card was working out of the box with Galaxy S2. I just formatted it and that was it
Just got a Galaxy S3 last week and the same SD was driving me insane with message
SD damaged after copying 59 GB of music to the phone
It was playing music without problem but as soon I restart the phone it would through error SD damaged
After so many tests I just found out that KIES is the one was corrupting my SD card
I tried copying my music with Sandisk data manager, mediamonkey, adding music folders manually and it works flawlessly, restart and not problem
All this app recognize Galaxy S3 quicker than SAmsung KIES, KIES takes a while sometimes to connect to the phone
Hope Samsung update KIES because it doesn't work with GALAXY S3 for uploading 59 gb of music
I was about to send my SD to amazon and get a refund, thanks I didn't do it
Happy days after so many days of testing

Hi guys
I also had the same issue with sandisk 64 gb card but couldnt find any solution n had to get two cards returned.... i dont use kies or any other thing. It also got damaged on first restart after copying 30+gb data on it. Couldnt find a damn solution. Now i have ordered a kingston 64 gb one to c if it makes any difference. Any idea by anyone to check it in a proper manner n maje it properly usable?
Thanks in advance

A million thanks, I wanted to throw away my 64Gb card and I've payed 70$ for it, but after formatting with EaseUS Partition Manager to Fat32 it works just fine I've tried with Windows a 100 times with no results.

EaseUS Partition Manager def did the job!
here comes the weird bit:
connecting the 64gb micro sd with this

to my pc shows 29 gb in easeUS.
while inserting it in my phone it shows 59.4 gb
using this type of adapter
and connected to the pc with a sd - to - usb adapter:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf-JAVA/Doc/images/550/c01650840.jpg
it will show 59.4 gb in easeUS as well
does that make any sense at all?

I bought this to put into my Samsung Galaxy S3 and opted for the Sandisk name due to previous purchases and reputation. Many people have said to format the card via the phone before use so I did this, or tried to, but it just kept saying that it was in an incompatible format and the process could not be carried out! Ok, a little frustrating but I thought I'd just use the supplied adapter and format it via my laptop. Similar message from Windows - not able to complete the format, the disc may be corrupted!!! I tried this several times on both the pc and the phone and nothing. Very poor in my opinion and it has been returned for a refund.

Thanks! This really saved my day

I ended up getting a 64gig Sandisk super duper card (or whatever it is called). I plugged it into my computer via a USB adapter, and it worked fine. Then I formatted it in FAT32 with the tool suggested in previous posts, and that worked fine. Then as I was copying stuff over (it was still plugged into the computer, my phone was in USB mode transferring data), the transfer froze. I unplugged it, and it was warm. So I tried again, it worked for a bit, and then would freeze. Not sure what the issue was. So I returned it to Best Buy, and they are sending me a new one. Hopefully this one works.
Any tips or suggestions other than formatting it with that utility? Could it really just have been the card itself?

Got one last night, formatted it using the program suggested, no dice. Getting a "damaged card" notification, nothing I can think of is working.
Formatted on my PC, formatted using a Mac, formatted using a linux terminal, nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any ideas on what else I can do to rectify this issue? :/
Or is it safe to assume that it's a defective card?

Hi, know what you're going through. See my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698672&page=9
The guiformat tool under the link luigig posted worked great. (I'm too new a member to repost the link here.)
If it doesn't work I suspect you really have a damaged card. There are some known bad batches.

Had an a media scanning issue on my new SGIII (At&T), from my sandisk 64 card. which was previously formated at 32. I used OP's method and so far so good. I also transfered my files to pc and ran defragler on them as i had a media scan issue. I transfrered all pictures with no intent on putting them back since they were from my old atrix. No problems as yet. I will try to transfer from phone to pc to see if i get the freezing. If i do, you will hear back from me. If not THanks OP:good:

try to format it using your pc. (as a FAT32)

format 64GB
What you should do is download a free partitioner program like Easeus Parttition manager. You should make two partitions on your sd card with a max of 32 GB. Format both of them as Fat 32. Once done, put it back in your phone, it is now recognized and you can reformat the card in your phone. It pops up as a 64 GB card now.
Good luck.

The ultimate solution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First u have to use an external card reader coz 99% of the problem is that i mean do not use ur laptop card reader but use a multicards reader coz laptops card reader r not designed for micro sd 64Go once u plug in ur micro Sd u should run a small software BOOTICE ( it's been attached to this post ) , u will see the real size right after in th picture 1
Fist u should update ur exFAT ( look to the attached files)
after that follow the steps on pic 2 , 3 , 4 ...the idea is to reformat ur card with single partition with exFAT and not FAT32 the exFat is an update given with microsoft it's been attached also.
Remember the prob comes from ur card reader and always use an external cards reader like the one used to format ur sdcard ....if u have any other question am here
warm regards

Nice! thx

Hi,
Thanks for your idea, but i'm trying to get my SD as FAT32, but i'm having trouble seeing the full card. Is there anything you can suggest? My card is showing up as 27GB when formatted as exfat, it's 59GB (64GB)
My aim is to use an AOSP rom and i am unable to use the exfat file system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[Q] NOOB SD card help...

Ive recently rooted and flashed a new rom to my SPH-L710 and now I believe that ive bricked my micro sd card ive searched for days on a possible fix only to come up empty handed so here are my questions.
1) have i truly damaged my sdcard beyond repair, is there a fix?
2) is there measures i should take before i flash a new rom in order to avoid having to throw away another sd card?
3) can i flash a new rom without a sd card (this is my current option i have my new files ready in the internal memory)?
heres some info: As you can see im running CM10 and i am hoping to try the wicked sensations rom found here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973780 i think the file i have is V1 (is there that much of a diffrence should i get V2 instead?

1) Reading your post, I didn't come across a reason why you think your sd card is bad. Can you post why you think so? It might help in troubleshooting this problem
2) I have not heard of a sd card being/getting damaged from flashing a ROM. That's not to say it could happen, but that might explain why you didn't find much info during your search. As a precaution, I always backup the contents of my sd card before flashing, just in case the card gets erased. I haven't had a card become unusable after a flash, but I have read posts where ROM flashing erased sd card contents. Those posts might have been due to user error more than the process itself.
3) You can flash a ROM from the internal "sd card" storage. I know TWRP supports internal storage ROM flashing. I don't remember if CWM does (but it probably does!).
Wicked Sensations is an awesome ROM, and good choice for a daily driver. If you want to use it, it is always preferable to flash the latest version. Also, the dev has posted a theme based on a previous ICS ROM that is just as awesome (AnaKonda). Both can be found in the 1st post of the thread.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Cool thank you here goes......
the sd card isnt being detected not via the phone or laptop no autoplay or anything comes up for the drive where it was previously its like its invisible i dunno? ive tried every combination of reboot/restart combination think of too.
next time im going to have to remember to back up the card its a shame im counting this one as a loss *throws up hands in frustration*
yeah it seems that i can use CWM so im gonna install the new rom which btw im going to use JellyBomb which looks insane !
thanks so much for your help if by any chance i see a change in the sd card's status ill post it here

Have you tried the SD card in your computer "outside" of your phone? Meaning, using it with an adapter to be able to use it in your laptop's full sized SD card slot? How about trying the card in another computer or phone (if you have access to either)? There maybe something wonky going on with your phone and how it is trying to read the card. Or, the card just might be really killed! I did read in another thread about a SGS3 that ruined a couple of SD cards, but other than that I still think something else might have caused your phone & computer to stop recognizing the card. First time for anything I suppose!
I haven't run the Jellybomb ROM, but I have read some of the posts about it, and it seems like a good build. As soon as you get it flashed and setup, make a nandriod backup and copy that backup to your computer. You know, just in case!

Sandisk 64GB SDXC NOT recognising!

Hello guys! Just wondering if you could help me...
I bought a SanDisk Extreme 64gb SDXC card and when I place it in the M9 it doesn't recognise at all. It doesn't even give me the option to mount - it's as if nothing is in there.
Strange thing is it works perfectly in my PC and Mac and even detects in a very old HTC I have lying around. Also, if I put an old 2gb card in the M9 it recognises that perfectly.
Anyone got any ideas??

Format it into a different format, exfat. Try fat32 if that doesn't work.

formatted as exFAT, and working just fine.
Maybe try formatting it directly from the phone (I didnt have to, i used the PC with a card reader), but wanted to let you know it works fine for me.

That's the exact one I have. I can't format it with the phone though because it won't even detect it at all. Not even allowing me to mount it. Just states it as unavailable in storage settings.

dont know, maybe it's fried? happened to me once, the card could be seen on the PC, but not on the phone, after some low-level checking (using a partition manager) turned out the card was bad

Umm it's very strange. Only thing I can think of is whether the partition map itself makes a difference. With a partition manager, I seem to have options for MBR, GUID and others, but I'm assuming this won't matter considering it's not being used to boot anything up? I've left it as MBR because that seems to be the default. Have also scanned it numerous times with PC and it seems to have no bad sectors. I would return it and try another but obviously the fact that it works in every other device I have tells me it isn't actually faulty.
May just have to bite the bullet, buy another and hope for the best. Does the class rating make a difference when purchasing these things?

See if it's accepted in a different phone, then format it and pop it in your m9

Shoved it in another Android phone. Recognises fine, used it to format it in storage settings. Still won't detect in the M9! Very confusing!

I would return it, get a normal SanDisk sdxc

Not the gold one the grey one. If you say it's defective then they may test it and tell you it's not

I had a similar problem with a 64gb regular sdxc sandisk. I did the entire low level format and electronic partition check. Try that before completely giving up.

Weird Boot Cycling

Got my HTC 10 unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, rootted etc.
The phone works but every once in a while, I notice this after doing a TWRP backup, when I reboot it cycles like it's in a boot loop. It will eventually get out of it and boot normally but it's disturbing and makes me nervous. Sometimes it reboots as many as 6 times.
Anyone know what might be going on?

Hi there, yeah I get this also, thing is that I'm not unlocked yet I'm fully stock, and once it boots into android it asks me to send system crash report to htc. I already sent the phone in once for replacement but it still happens, it's odd, it goes away after ruu but comes back.

My phone did this as well. In a last ditch effort I removed the micro sd card and the boot loops stopped. I turned out that particular sd card (samsung evo 128gb) was causing mounting issues while booting, I replaced it with another sd card (sandisk 64gb) and the problem was completely resolved. Hope this helps!

I had this problem but different. Phone would just infinitely cycle boot loader boot. It would only stay on for fraction of a second then turn off..I just exchanged the phone today because I wasn't able to fix it

Just to add to this, I had this same issue described in this thread, and this solution fixed it. Had a Samsung 128GB evo+, swapped for a SanDisk 128GB, works perfectly. Only rebooted once so far, but it didn't loop.

On the subject of SD cards.
I have a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card.
I use ES File Explorer to view, move and delete my files. But I find it really annoying and hard as it takes so long to delete a single file or to move files from the internal to external. And even takes a really long time to move files to different locations o. The SD card. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks.

At first, for the file moving between intSD and/or extSD and/or USB_OTG use hTc file manager:

At second, how much out of 64 is already occupied?

Sd card problem on mm custom rom

So I recently flashed the marshmallow resurrection remix ROM on my M8 and it was cool...been using it for some time now...no bugs whatsoever...until I decided to insert an SD card for the first time ever since the flash...as usual upon first insertion it tells you to format it into either internal storage or the other option (forgotten the main terms they used)..now I already know that there's an SD card bug on all CM powered Roms..but the way the error occurs on my device is abnormal...after I select how I want it to be formated and start the formatting process it immediately crashes in like 2 seconds and returns to my home screen leaving this error code

Most people with the SD card problems complain of the formatting process being stuck or moving forward to a certain level and then crushing or something...but non of them complains of this kind of error...can someone please look at this and help me?

I haven't seen that particular error. When I've had problems with CM13 reading the SD card, what sometimes works for me: insert the SD card into a card reader attached to my Windows PC. Then Windows pops up a dialog box, which indicates there is a problem with the card, and you can pick whether to fix it. I forget the choices, but there is a quick one, and a slower one. I pick the quick one, which just takes a couple minutes; and also preserves the data on the SD. Then re-insert SD into device, and CM13 seems to read it fine. This doesn't always work, but often does to fix the problem with CM13 reading the SD.
May or may not work in your situation, but just throwing it out there, as its worth a try.

But here's the thing...I placed that same SD card in another M8 using the ViperOme lollipop ROM and it seemed to format and most as internal memory or external storage just fine...so I'm sure it isn't a hardware problem

Removable storage is what you want. I'm pretty sure you'll run into problems if you try to format as internal storage (it becomes a part of the internal storage associated with the other M8) and swap the SD to another phone.
Why not try what I suggested, just to see if it works or not? It just takes a couple minutes, so it couldn't hurt. That is, unless you don't have a card reader connected to your PC.

Just tried your way...still giving me the same error...it crashes immediately when the formatting process starts...don't even think it even gets time to initiate the process..could it be that this particular ROM is bugged?

If you try another ROM, and don't get the problem; than its pretty likely a bug in the ROM. But on the other hand, if its a problem with the ROM, I would think that others would have reported it in the ROM thread.
Is your firmware up to date?
