Have you formatted the sdcard to fat32?
sent from my android powered beast!

yes i have...also it was already in fat32!!hmmm..i did make a partition of 1gb ext2 for link2sd..but now am not able to view in in the partition manager......now i have only around 6gb for use...but that doesnt matter..i just want my card to be recognized in my phone!!

Some class 4 cards are not recognised. What class is yours?

i dont know...how do i find class f the card..its sandisk card that i bought..i m from india..also initially the card was working fine..after i made the partition this morning it stopped working...also card is mounting in clockwork mod recovery without any errors...so i guess theres no problem with the card..
P.S--if i revert back to non rooted stock HTC, will this be fine??

solved it finally...it was a simple step...i had to make a partition in the sd card through cwm and give the swap size as 0..finally its working..thanks for ur support guys!!

No Luck For Me
I believe it may just be a hardware issue I am having. But maybe someone can point me out to something helpful.
I put the card in, it is not recognized, by either the phone, or by CWM
With the phone on, and in 'Settings' -> 'SD & Phone Storage', the card does not appear. I slowly pull the card out, and 'Mount SD' & 'Erase SD Card' both go from unavailable (greyed out), to full on available and White for a split second. After that nothing...
It does this with 3 different cards. an 8G Class 4, a 2G Class 10, and a 2G Class 4
I've contacted HTC about it, but who knows when they'll get back to me. Anyone here know of a solution?

Try formatting the sdcard or reset phone.

Sorry. Tried that too. Multiple times

It's as if the contacts inside the phone are screwed up. Like I said, when I pull the card out of the phone, while in the settings, it recognizes it on the way out for a split second.
I've been trying for the last half-hour to try to get it right to that point where it flashes the 'mount' to white... but I must just have goofy thumbs, because I can't quite get it...

Following you I have lost all my datas from SD card

TWRP Can't mount 64 GB external SD

Hey every1, for some reason the Sandisk 64GB microSD card won't mount using TWRP. When i try to mount the the externel sd it won't check the box. I can access it fine when I connect using the usb. Any suggestions?

yup fat32

Thanks for your reply!
But, I don't have the option for "fat32", I do have the option, "NTFS, and exFAT"
I've even tried to formatting through phone, still didn't work.

Honestly TRWP hasn't been very stable on the Note II imo and experience, Try CWM recovery and see if it works. I used an adapter, plugged it into my pc and when I chose to format I had the option for fat32, I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.

I tried this but, it did not work. Using an SD card reader, I still do not get the option to format to Fat32. Anyone have another suggestion? Also, CWM has the same issues. I cannot do a nano backup to the card.

latest update works great on my sandisk 64gb microsd card . It boots into recovery alot faster than the old version of TWRP. Will try this latest version for awhile and see.

For the life of me I can't get it to work. I have TWRP version 2.3.3.2, I just installed it straight from Goo Manager (as suggested on TWRP's website today). I have a 64gb Sandisk card, Class 10, exFAT (because I require to record LONG videos that go over the 4gb limit).
TWRP recovery can't see my external SD card, it won't mount it at all.
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, ROOTED but NO custom ROMS and using STOCK kernel, LK8.
What gives?
Thanks so much!

SOLVED!! Just that fast! Thank GOD.
So here's what happened to me - I went to TWRP's website and THEY suggested on their site to install TWRP using Goo Manager because it was the "preferred" method. I obeyed. No dice. TWRP did install and I was able to successfully get the version that was right for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 phone, but the only thing that was wrong was that I could not mount my SD card in TWRP recovery.
Right on that same page on TWRP's site where they suggested to use Goo Manager, right on the same page, they had other options for installing TWRP, ODIN being one of them - and I loooove me some ODIN. So I went that route and decided to install TWRP through ODIN on top of the TWRP that I already had.
VOILA! ......as soon as I booted into TWRP I could see that my SD card was mounted PERFECTLY. exFAT, micro sdxc card, SanDisk, Class 10, no issue.
The fact that it's now mounted will permit me to test if I can make a backup straight to the card and restore from it, which is what I wanted to achieve this whole time.
For those that installed TWRP just fine and it SEEMS like it installed just fine and you ARE ABLE to make a successful backup to the internal SD card....that doesn't necessarily mean it was a good install especially if you can't mount your external SD card. Just install it again through ODIN and call it a day.
Cheers, my brethren.

Error: Can't Mount external SD card!

I just bought a 64GB micro sdxc card..brand new....when I try to do ANYTHING in the lates 6.02.03 recovery, I get this error....Everything worked before I put this card in...Windows CAN access it with phone plugged in etc. I formatted it from exfat to fat 32 using Easeus Partition manager, flashed CWM and same error...so I flashed CWM to the latest (6.02.03) and same problem. I am running Wicked Rom, and have had no probs until the card was replaced, and so I did some Google searches that lead me down the path of formatting...which I had already done..but nothing...Can anyone throw me a bone here?...Im not sure what else it could be...One post said maybe the rom didnt support it?...but to me that doesnt mke sense..Thanks in Advance...Larry..P.S..I also formatted it with the option in settings on the phone which it worked fine etc...but same thing...maybe the CWM doesnt support it?..if so...maybe a link to an older one?...Im almost sure that I had the same version on my 32G card as well..

I had similar issue before but I got it solved by formatting to FAT32 using this program: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm
The issue I had was not because the ROM didn't support it, it was the kernel that didn't support it. I don't know if you're having similar issue or not, but if you're willing to experiment, you might try that if your ROM didn't have the stock kernel in it.
Good luck

Works in other phones?
Does it work in another phone?

noob needing advice

Hi folks I'm new here so go easy on me
I recently installed CyanogenMod via the installer but I mid the s-pen functions more than I anticipated so I have been looking at the different ROMs on here and decided to try Phoenix ROM. when I downloaded the ROM and super clean as described in the instructions I placed them both on my ext SD card but I can't flash from ext SD via Phil's cwm as it doesn't find the SD card it says its not mounted. Is it OK to place the 2 files on my phone root directory to flash from there or will super clean wipe them from there too before I can flash the ROM.
Thanks in advance

Anybody ???

what is your SD card ?
64 GB ?

if you use a super clean wipe Zootscript Megawipe to clean, yes it will erase your internal USB storage.

Its a 8gb card I've got a 32gb one coming in the post but I'll have to wait a day or two for it. I know the card is working fine as I can transfer stuff to and from it but when I try to access it from recovery is keeps saying there's no card mounted

switch off and remove battery and place the ext sd and boot up and see if it detects on phone now proceed to recovery and wipe there u can even find a ption to mount internal storage so after the wipe u can place your file to internal sd but before doing anything just verify if the mount is working and if the ext sd has detected or not

Tried that but no success still says unable to mount path no matter what I try to do withe the external SD it works fine from the phone just not during recovery. Could it be a bug in cm 10.2
How do I get the ROM to the internal SD if I mount it with recovery can I connect it to my laptop and transfer of over from it.
Sent from my GT-N7100

I've tried formating the SD card to fat32 and flashed the latest cwm recovery and still no joy with being able to use the external SD to flash from. So if I do the super wipe how do I get the zip file for Phoenix ROM or any other ROM for that matter onto the phone to flash it

well, i am not sure it will work or not,
but have you try with OTG cable + thumbsdriver/ pen driver with the rom in it to connected to your phone to flash in recovery ?
if this dont work, probably u will need a brand new memory card for sure

Well i finally got it sorted i flashed the latest cwm recovery again using the internal memory and it worked i can now access the external sd card from recovery so im now running phoeniX v14 and sofar im impressed and glad to have s-pen functionality back again
