does anyone know how to mount the external sd on att galaxy s3
Tap the option that says use external storage.
Other than that, try to reinstall TWRP. Not sure what else to say.

Hey guys, I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer. Basically, I'm having trouble with TWRP -- it won't mount/recognize my SD card at all. All the advice I've seen so far is to format the microSD card as fat32. Unfortunately, this fix doesn't work for me, as my SD is already formatted to fat32.
Are there any other alternate options?
Thanks!
EDIT: this is on TWRP 2.3.2.3
you probably need to update TWRP. If you rooted using the Galaxy Note 2 tool kit, it's a slightly older version. Here's the thread on TWRP, which you can find the latest version.
I think i'm on the newest version. I updated it a couple days ago using goo manager to 2.3.2.3, which seems to be the newest one
that would be the newest. I had that problem till I updated. My SDXC card is formatted in NTSF. Maybe, you need to reformat it in your phone.
yea, I'll try that. wish me luck

That's about right for available space you'll get. But can you mount or browse the card in twrp?

It's not really strange - 64/1024/1024/1024x1000x1000x1000=~59.6

It seems that I can't format my SD card through TWRP. The phone itself sees the SD card just fine except when inside TWRP

I'll check in a little bit phone is dead and cycling battery. But my 32gb showed up. Are you sure you're not changing it to show external storage

you need to go into advance menu, file manager. Then you need to look externalSDCard directory or similar name. That's your SDXC card. Don't use that external/internal option in one of the other menus.
This tends to be case in some of the file manager apps as well such as ES File Explorer.
ok, so, it seems it's not under external_sdcard, but under sdcard. So I guess to access the sdcard i have to go through that. Thanks for the help
Is there any way I can change the default backup location for TWRP to use the SD card? I can't backup to internal storage since I don't have enough space
I had a similar issue with this 2 days ago. ..Could not mount the 64gig sd card in trwp but works fine on the phone. ..I updated to the newest twrp yesterday and that resolve the issue. ..

I don't understand your problem when you go to twrp click install, you have the option to check to either internal or external right at the top.

This internal/external partition card storage is kinda hidden in plain sight...presuming the OP's SD card isn't toast.

Hidden in plain sight, really not that hard to see lol. If you can't take the 3 seconds to look where it says internal or external you shouldn't even bother trying to worry about it simple as that.

Tapping on "use external SD" just has it snap back to "use internal storage" and the error message "unable to mount '/external_sdcard'" comes up. So no, it's not that I'm blind.
Ok when I got my note 2 I formatted my sd card through the phone. I was using it with my Droid Charge. No problems. Now that its in my note2 every CWM backup I do doesnt go to sd it goes to phone.(or titanium) I went to filemanager and I cant move the back ups to sd card. So my question is.. did I format sd incorrectly? Meaning I shouldve used PC or am I just missing something? I dont have a card reader and its a 32 gb sandisk.(rooted and stock) any help is appreciated. Thanks

When you are in CWM are you choosing to back up to external sdcard or just backup?

You can try formatting the memory card by connecting your phone in 'USB storage' to PC and format by PC and then repeat the process.
Hope it has works for you
Officially corp via w8
Wow. What a brain fart!! Thank both of you

Hi there, thanks for your reply. I've formatted my card, but it still says SD Card is blank or has unsupported file system.
In the STORAGE options it says i can Mount SD card but it comes up saying 'Blank SD Card in my notification bar.
Then if i select the warning, it gives me the option to format the card. I try to do this but it gives me the same error of blank sd card etc..
Please help!!
Many thanks.
Try format in fat32
Window by default don't have option if your card is bigger than 32gb, use third party applications.

Maybe it's a ROM or Kernel problem..
Try other kernels like RedPill 1.42 maybe it fixes it.. (which I use right now)
Or try Jellybam 7.1 ROM (which I use right now)

Git this strange problem
After I've root phone, SD card won'tmount automatically after powering on the phone.
It says, card damaged, try format
But if I go into settings and select MOUNT manually , all works
Anyone knows why this happened or how to fix?

That happened this morning on my NON-rooted S4! I hit mount and it mounted. Weird. I use a 64GB Sandisk Ultra XC1.
I also use sandisk 64 ultra
But I think I found solution for me
I've froze some Samsung apps I don't use, for speed and battery savings.
Think in my case, it was Samsung account. Now it's unfrozen but not setup, so basically it's not working and not syncing.
So far no more unmounted card after boot.

Check your format if its exfat that will get screwy just boot recovery go to advanced format sd card and viola
