I was wondering if anyone could help me with this annoying problem. My phone has been shutting off almost every time I extract a zip file or move a file to/from the external sd card. I dont know if it's the sd card itself or if it's the file explorer (which is ES). I'm running Blazer 4.1 and stock EL29 kernel. What can I do to fix this? Thank you in advance.
I would try another browser first. I use root explorer. If that doesn't clear it try another card just to test. If you don't have access to another card try backing up your card and format it from the phone. Then try again and see if it works.

Also what's the size of your card? Is it a cheap knockoff?

Thanks, I'm gonna try formatting the card and switching file browsers. By the way my card is a Sandisk 16gb micro sd.

Do you have a micro sd card adapter for your computer? (A chip like thing or usb like this that you can put your sd card into so that your computer can read it.) If so, put it into the computer and if it doesn't read it you may have to format it. What all is on there that you want kept? Maybe I can help save a few things, because formatting requires deleting everything.

EvoShift 4g: Cm7 or Jellybean 4.1!

Evo 4g: Gonna buy in near future!

Take you SD card and put it in your computer, download a trial of Data Recovery Wizard and see if it can recover your files

If you're having issues mounting on multiple devices, you probably have a dead card.
Have you noticed any oddities for your SD storage in the past? (Perhaps missing or corrupt files, or maybe even your phone freezing once in a while when accessing files on the SD card)
As Whiplashh said, try the card using an external USB adapter with your computer. If it doesn't work there either, you probably have a dead card. Even if it does work there, I would highly recommend transferring everything off of it, and recreating the file system. I had a similar problem with my microSD card in the past, and I was only able to resurrect it twice before it completely died...
So looks like my SD card is about to run it's life and I bought a new one to replace it. Now since I am rooted do I have to do anything or do I just transfer all the files on my SD card to the new one and thats it?
I would format it from the phone settings first. Even though it may be readable, this will ensure that the file system is what it should be.

Hey folks. Just got my gn2 today! I was wondering why my 64 gb class 10 card is not being read? Rather, not completely being read. When I downloaded es file explorer none of my old files (from my evo 3d) were there. However when I used another file explorer(AnTek Explorer) There were my files..Now my pictures and music from my sd card picked up but not any of my roms for my emulators or alot of other files. What gives here? Do i need to reformat my sd card? I read some thread saying the phone cant run any apps off of the sd card because of jelly bean, so do i have to be rooted to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone out there have any clue as to what to do about this?

I would copy all the files from the SD Card to your PC, via a sd card reader or if u still have the evo.
then put the card in your phone, boot to recovery and format the external sd card.
then boot to system and then if the phone sees the Sd card you can copy back the files that you need

What do you need the Evo for? He told you take the card out, put in your computer, copy all the files you need. Put the card back into the S3 boot into recovery format external SD card. Reboot your s3 and now see if it recognizes the sd card fine. Now go back to computer and copy over the files you needed to save.

You have 2 threads about your phone. First try doing a complete restore of your phone. Some where in Settings. If things still bad, ask for a replacement.

I backed up my files using cwm because i wanted to flash a rom. I tried flashing the rom and it did not work. I then went into recovery mode and everything went fine. Got all my files and apps/data back. For the life of me I cannot find the file in which the backup is located. I have been in the clockworkmod folder......nothing. I have read the other threads about this and tried everything. The backup files are on my phones internal memory and I only have about 1GB left after then backups. I need to find these files desperately so I can delete them and get some memory back. Any thoughts on how I can go about doing this so I can stop stressing out. I really cannot find the files location. It is baffling. Thanks for any help that comes my way.

Im a dummy. Sorry guess. Every thread I read nobody mentioned you could delete the backups through cwm. Sorry for my noobness

The back up file is located at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup. I know you already found out how to do it with the app, but I felt I should tell you.

You would need a root browser to find the files...just saying because at one point i was confused as to where i could find the backups

Didn't mean to thank you. You actually don't need a root browser. The rom manager app actually tells you where the files backups are stored. The path is right under 'Backup Current Rom'

Es file explore will work just enable root.
Go to mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

I tried using a root browser and even checked hidden files. Still could not find the files. Using cwm was the only solution. Anybody know anything about 64GB sd cards and getting them to work in a t mobile galaxy s4. i have formatted every which way, exfat, fat32 and still my files will not stay on the card. I usually get a damaged sd card notification or blank sd card. I have contacted t mobile. They told me their S4's were only compatible with 32GB sd cards. I have tried with two different cards. I'm thinking about getting another card, but need information on what to do once I receive the card.

I have no problems using the 64gb card in either FAT32 or exFAT format.
Are you stock Rom or what Rom?
What brand sd card are you using? Could just be a bad card.

I will post a screenshot. I tried using a samsung 64gb sd card, which is now fried, it will not even show up on my computer. My 32 gb sd works perfectly fine, but the 64gb will not work. I'm thinking of going to walmart or best buy and buying a sandisk sd card.

I bought a sandisk 64gb. I seems to be working well.....so far. I will let you know.
Your card may not be completely hosed. You may be able to save it by reformatting it.
Thing is, while TouchWiz carries the ability to handle exFAT-formatted cards (the standard for SDXC cards), CWM ordinarily not (this is due to patent issues; blame Microsoft). Unofficial builds that tack the ability on risk legal trouble so I won't discuss this.
There ARE Windows programs that can reformat the card (like Easus Partition Manager). IINM, there are similar tools already available for LInux and Mac users. While FAT32 prevents you from carrying big files around, it should be visible to any 3rd-party recovery system.
One thing I should chime in. Since the GS4 uses Android 4.2 and up, the nandroid backups you make are hidden away somewhere in your storage. They won't be visible ordinarily because of filesystem protections. As noted earlier, the recovery programs can see their own backups and allow you to manage them. In addition, if you're using CWM, I think ROM Manager (from the same developers) can let you browse the backups from within Android.
PS. I've personally found the best success with SanDisk SD cards. I've had trouble with PNY ones, but I haven't used Sony ones much (usually due to price).
