Need help with new SDcard path and Clockworkmod - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me figure out how to fix this issue. I had a 32gb micro sd card in my new Galaxy S3 that I just got a few days ago. I went and rooted the device with the 32gb card.
Today I picked up a 64gb micro sd card and put it in and went into Clockworkmod to do a back up to my sd card and it tells me there is an error and it can find the path to the external sd card. I put all the files in the root of the 64gig card just like I did on the 32gig card.
Is there a way to reset everything to make clock work mod see the new card? Cause it just keeps giving me errors when I try to do anything with the new card in clock work mod.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help

By default 64gb cards are formatted as exfat. CWM does not and probably willneversupport exfat file systems. Your best bet is to get it formatted as fat32.

will see if this works. Thank you I really do appreciate it.

[Q] Galaxy S3 and Computer don't see sd card

So i have a sandisk 32gb micro sd card im using in my galaxy s3. It has been working fine until this morning when my phone started saying sd card had been removed please enter a new one, or something like that. The sd card cannot be seen in TWRP or in any file manager. In recovery i tried to wipe the external card and it just says it cant mount the external card.
I would have thought this was a problem with my phone, but I also cannot see the card when i put it in my computer. Other sd cards work fine on my computer (i dont have another micro sd to test with) but my camera's sd card worked fine. Anyone have a solution? I would be willing to format my sd card, but i cant even access it anywhere.

I hate to say it, but it would seem that your SD card went tango uniform. If another card is being seen in the S III then it is down to that.

In Win7, plug your SDcard into the card reader.
Type diskmgmt.msc into search or run.
Do you see your messed up SDcard in there?
If yes, you can format it, name it etc.
If that fails, find an app online called Gparted. (needs to burn to a CD)
This app works at boot and has fixed my most stubborn drive issues.

[Q] sandisk 64gb micro sdxc ultra class 10

I recently bought a brand new sandisk 64gb micro sdxc card for use with my e4gt. When I put it into the phone the phone reads it, but will not give me the option to format it. The only option I have is to mount it, but when doing so it just says it is safe to remove which shows that it is not mounting properly. Should I try buying an sd card reader and formatting it on my computer? Or what else could I do to get it to work? Also, it is running stock leaked GA10 rooted.
I have the same micro sd. For it to work on the phone (for me), I formatted it to fat32 and it worked. Most recently I lost my old card on a trip, bought a new one, I formatted it again to fat32, tossed it in the phone but the phone didn't recognize it, but gave me an option to format it which I did. Then it worked. It might have a bit to do with roms too (I was on stock, then moved to a CM rom)
So you formatted in on your computer? If so which sd card reader did you buy? Could you post a link if possible? And thank you.
Just use any sd adapter and use the format32 gui from Ridgecrop. Roms or builds shouldn't matter once it's properly formatted and mounts.
I have the same Sd card. Sniper and Avatar turned me on to that utility.

External sd card help

I have a 64gb Sandisk micro external sd card, and it appears to be having problems. currently, i can't add or delete anything from it. when i put the card in my brothers phone to reformat it. (because the option didn't come up in my galaxy s3) his galaxy s2 let it reformat it, then after remounting it was in the exact same state, still at 42.2gb free, if i delete files manually upon reboot they are all there.
so for all intensive purposes the sd card appears to be locked.
i can't format it with my computer, no expansion slot for one and i don't get the option when i right click it.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated it. I don't know if its corrupted although that's where my belief is heading.

Trouble with 64gb sdcard

anyone have issues with their sd card?? i have a sandisk ultra sdxc 64gb micro card. i have to format this thing about every 8 hours! insert the card and the phone will not recognize it. i take it out, format it on the pc, insert the card, format it on the phone and its fine. the next day i go to access the card and its not listed in the file manager or in the recovery. in settings i click mount sd card, phone shows "preparing SD card" then nothing. i have to do the whole format thing over again.
any ideas?? is there a firmware update i need? phone is build # 1.54.401.10
doesn't matter what rom i use, i have tried 3...phone is fairly new.
i have done root, s-off, recovery, SU, busybox, etc. phone works great! other than the sd card issue.
thanks

well i figured it out...did some sniffing around online and found a thread in the SGSIII forum. someone had a similar issue. apparently after doing a bit of additional reading, the htc one m8 does NOT like exFat cards. so while it CAN accept 64gb and 128gb cards, it doesn't really work right. to fix this i used easeus partition software, deleted the partition on the sd card, created a FAT32 one for 64gb, yes it will do it, and it works perfectly. hope this helps someone else.
I have problems with mine. I have a 128GB and haven't formatted it, and it works fine.
Thanks

Root/SD Question

Hey guys I ordered a 64gb microsd card for my tab s and when I opened it last night, I accidently crack the sd card in half :crying: Long story short I want to root my tab s asap but my sd card replacement wont come for another 2 weeks so should I wait for it to arrive then root? Or should I just go ahead then when my card comes just transfer everything to the sd card. If someone could give me some insight that would be great.
Doesn't really matter, root gives you a bunch of privileges like running titanium backup but using an SD card or not is a non issue.

What are you trying to do?
Root doesn't need an SD card. (I assume you are using cf-autoroot). You run that using ODIN. (I just ran it tonight but my SD card is installed, and I'm also still running NF9 firmware)
When you get your SD card, mount/format it if it needs it. Copy anything you want to your SD Card. An SD card is just storage.
Is there something I'm am missing that would make it more complicated than that?
