I ventured into AOKP for the first time and my sd card is no longer recognized (64gb exfat). I got advice on how to re-format it, but I think most of my TIBU backups went to the external sd, including the core Samsung and Note 2 stuff. So I was trying to go backwards to access my sd before I re-format.
I can't seem to flash back to any prior kernel or rom although CWM appears to be successfully going through my standard sequence:
wipe data / reset
boot to recovery
flash zip
wipe cache
reboot
If anyone notices something wrong with that sequence or has any insight, I'd be very grateful.
Did you flash 4.2 aokp? If so and you are going back to a 4.1.x ROM, you need to flash the zip from madmack to go back, that way you can access your sd card like you were able to prior to flashing 4.2.

I flashed 4.1.2 aokp. I was able to get back to STOCK LL4 in teshxx's main thread. But still no access to external sd. I'll look into madmack.
Thanks for your response.
You also need perseus kernel for 64gb sd card support, otherwise it won't be recognized. I'm not sure if it's perseus, but it's definitely a different kernel. I'll check, sorry don't remember off the top of my head.
I just checked, its perseus. Download that to your internal memory and flash, that should help.

Thanks for the efforts. Still get "Damaged SD Card" with LL4 Build and 3.0.36-Perseus-alpha31 Kernel.

I'm an EVO user that's switched over to the ET4G and I'm having some issues with flashing certain kernels and pretty much every ROM.
I'm currently only able to flash one of Zedomax's previous versions of his overclocked kernel and the CWM variants that bubby323 has posted in the thread listed below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287776
Aside from these three kernels pretty every other kernel and attempt at installing a ROM through CWM makes my ET4G go into a boot loop.I can only access Download mode after that so I pretty much have to flash a stock ROM to make my phone useable.
This is the 2nd ET4G that I've had this issue on with these same 3 kernels being the only ones that will install. Initially I thought the problem was with the sd card since that was the only thing that was in both phones but I highly doubt it.
I've tried everything from hard resets to multiple wipes of data, dalvik cache and regular cache to trying out pretty much every kernel and ROM out there.
I've never come across a problem like this one and I just want to know if anyone has come across anything like this and can at least point me in a direction to solve the issue or just help me figure out what's going on.
you have to wipe /system FIRST, THEN wipe data/cache/dalvik, THEN flash your ROM..All in the same session..Make sure your rom/kernel of choice is on your internal sd card, and that you are using CWM 5.....
Otherwise, its a no go..
what if we dont have any roms on our internal sd. i only have them my external and i cant access them through clockwork mod. and to make things worse im stuck in a bootloop. i was wondering if there are any roms flashable through odin instead.
this should help you and anyone else with questions like this..

You can mount USB storage in cwm, plug in to computer and transfer rom to internal storage. That can be accessed and flashed.

Ok I'll give this a try and see how it goes.
Yeh, didn't work. I tried it twice from both the internal and external cards and both resulted in boot loops. I'm using the latest CM version.

The links in that thread don't exactly address my problem...
Pretty much anything I flash is resulting in boot loops. =/
Hate to freaking triple post but I'm still having this issue and really could use some help guys
I know the problem is related to my phone installing kernels now since pretty much anything will install just fine (example zip files in CWM) but for some reason once I'm flashing any kernel it just causes a boot loop.
I was running Nocturnal Venum ICS rom with no problems. Yesterday I woke up and the phone had frozen. I rebooted and it went into a boot loop. So I odined EL26 CWM kernel and attempted to redo the install clean. I could only get as far as the application installing before it would freeze. I can get into DL mode and recovery just fine, but no ICS Rom will install. From the stock plus root all the way to custom ASOP and AKOP. If there is anyone that had a similar problem or read of it and solution, I would appreciate any help. I went back to gingerbread and I can install them fine. It appears to be isolated to the ICS roms.
When trying to install the stock ICS FE10 I got a failed to install with a status 7 error. I have taken a logcat after the latest GBread install, but I can't upload it.
TIA
Have you considered corruption of one or both of the SD's? Since you can boot, back up whatever you need off of both internal and external SD's, format them both from settings/storage from the phone (only). Copy back just what you think you may need (no point in adding to the uncluttered phone yet) and try it again.
Edit: If still having issues, yank out the external SD card entirely and try it without.
One click odin back to stock couldn't hurt either. May as well make the phone as virgin as possible.
Have you tried odining back to EL26 stock with a clean install, rather than just Odining the kernel?

But, like I also recommended, formatting both of the SD's to clean up god knows what is left over after flashing an unknown amount of stuff from a place you've never heard of before.
I normally recommend a full blown reset back to stock. It's easier that way sometimes.
Actually I went back stock EL29 with root. I will try the reformatting the sd. I did the external but not the internal. What files must I leave on the internal if any.

Once you format the internal, it will be pretty cleaned out.
I would redownload the ROM you want to try, Calkulin's format all and that's about it. Don't trust anything you've copied off of SD just yet. Try a fresh download and install of what you need first. Try installing from the internal SD also for now.
Of course always follow the correct procedure posted for installation of any non-Gingerbread rom. Some have special requirements.
If both sd cards are reformatted and a factory reset is done would you lose root?
Looks like that did it TD. And to think I thought I was getting proficient lol. Thanks so very much for the help. Looks like the apps are loading with no problems. Keeping my fingers crossed lol.

I didn't. Not sure if the ROMs are including root or what. But all is looking well.

Perfect! No telling where your issue really was but there was no point in spending a lot of time troubleshooting it either. So much junk is left over from flashing, I always recommend a full wipe occasionally.
Hi, I just flashed my Galaxy S3 with FrostyJB ROM v11.2.2. After the flash, SD card cannot be mounted anymore. I have a 64GB SD card in there. I then flash the kernel with stock kernel, and SD card can be mounted again.
Since this ROM is built using a custom kernel, I'm assuming the optimization is build around that kernel. So is it better to revert back to a previous version of the ROM altogether, or format the SD card with FAT32 and see if it works with the custom kernel, or it doesn't really matter having the stock kernel with this particular ROM?
Thank you for your help.

Thanks tvinhas, but that's not the issue.
I played around more on it yesterday, and here's what I have:
FrostyJB v11.2.2 uses ktoonsez kernel, which seemed to incompatible with exFAT greater than 32GB (or perhaps just incompatible with exFAT altogether, not sure). I tried different combination and this works:
* FrostyJB ROM V11.2.2, with stock kernel
* FrostyJB ROM V11.2.2 with ktoonsez kernel, but must format SD card with FAT32
But regardless, I found another issue with this ROM version, so I decided to revert back to V11.2.1. I found that this ROM for some reason broke my USB connection. ADB and KIES won't work anymore, though windows recognizes the phone when I plugged it in and was able to read the storage. I uses KIES to sync my calendar with outlook, and I disable my KIES air. Rather than mocking around with it more, I decided to restore my nandroid.
Thanks for the help
Frosty V11.2.1 is my favorite and most stable ROM to date. I had issues with my 8gb FAT32 SD card on V11.2.2 so I went back. I was having some other issues as well but they might not have been due to the new version. I can't express enough how much I appreciate you developers taking the time to do this for the community.

Totally agree, this is my favorite ROM, and it is amazing. Can't thank all the people enough in spending time developing and debugging this.
I've searched for many hours and read many threads, but can't find anything on how to fix this.
I upgraded to MK3 following Cnexus instructions in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538543
Everything appears to be working fine, but the S3 no longer recognizes the External SD card (64GB) after the upgraded,,. It can be read by my PC, and the S3 will mount/read smaller SD cards (I do not have a 32GB, but it mounts 16GB, 4GB and 32MB SD cards just fine).
My CWR recovery will not read external SD either.. and not sure if I should apply the img in the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
Internal SD is working fine.. just can't mount the 64GB microSD on my S3.
any help or directional pointers would be great...
thanks..
64GB SD Cards should be formatted to FAT32 for the S3.
Or flash DKP Kernel for ExFat and/or Fat32 64gb support.

Thanks for the reply... but this is not a new 64GB card.. it's been in my S3 and working just fine all of 2013 w thru the MA6, MB1 and MD4 updates.. it's only following Cnexus MK3 upgrade installs that it has stopped working. It won't mount the SD card.. it will hang the S3 when trying to, and eventually ends with a "safe to unmount SD card" notification.
I bought a new 64GB card and it gives the IDENTICAL behavior.. so I don't think it's the card format..
This is on Cnexus Sprint stock rooted MK3 4.3 ROM...
I've always stayed stock, but rooted.
Both cards are exFat format.. I can't format the new card in the S3 because it can't be mounted. So did we lose exFat support in Cnexus stock MK3 ROM or ?? 'cus I definitely had it in the other releases..

sorry.. bit of a noob on the phone side, but WHICH dkp kernel http://d-h.st/users/decimalman/?fld_id=19563#files should I be loading up and does one do that in the same manner as a normal flash (install on S3, boot to recovery, apply, etc) or is it Odin or ADB ?
I'm on cnexus stock MK3 ROM, so I assume that is touchwiz based?

Yes, you want to flash the TW 4.3 kernel. You flash in recovery. After rebooting your phone will see your extSD again.

The one you want is in the link below. You can place the zip file on the root of your SD Card. Boot into Recovery, wipe caches, and flash.
EDIT :
Edited to avoid issues in the future for members. Instead go directly to decimalman's Kernel Thread. That way you will be assured to have the latest version .

Thanks... With all due respect.. I did read that thread (it's 95 pages long in Chrome) tho' not every last word of it as it went all over the place..and I did do searches within the thread.. I also googled VERY MUCH, but having the issue and knowing what to do to fix it are different (the info indicated a problem with exFat, but no fix in that thread with stock kernel, and I'm reluctant to install custom kernels due to my lack of knowledge in the xda arena), however, the suggested fix to install the new kernel DID work (Thanks decimalman)..
While I root, I don't mess with custom rom's much and stay as stock as possible.
I need a working phone, and can't afford to brick it.
UPDATE: For those relative noobs (like me) one needs to do the following to get your 64GB exFat SD card working....

Hello all,
I've searched d2tmo forums and couldn't find an answer for this so decided to start this thread. Ever since updating to Kitkat my d2tmo no longer recognizes my 32gb sd card. It reads fine on the latest 4.3 OTA firmware and my computer can also read it. I'm currently running CM11 nightlies. I have a smaller 8gb card in FAT32 that CM11 is able to read though, but somehow it doesn't recognize the 32gb card. Here's what I've tried so far,
- Formated to FAT32, to ext4 and ext2
- Tried to mount from CWR and TWR
- Used Remo recover and other file recovery software to format my 32gb card.
Please let me know if you have any fixes for this issues.
Thanks,
First format it back to FAT32 on PC. Then please flash another kernel and then try to format the card inside the phone.
Thanks Perseus
MicroSD is already in FAT32. Interesting that this could be a kernel issue. I'm currently running CM11's latest 3.4.74.
Will look for CM11 compatible kernels and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again

Hi Perseus,
I've flashed KToosez's AOSP 4.4.x kernel found here and CM11 is still not recognizing my 32gb SD card. SD card is FAT32. I have also tried to mount it from recovery.
Any other insights?
Thanks,

This may seem strange. But try to flash a 4.3 AOSP Rom or better yet 4.2 AOSP Rom with built in Kernel. See what happens in that case ?
NOTE - Since you have got the latest Samsung's 4.3 OTA Bootloader, be careful and Weary when flashing Roms. You don't want to accidentally try to flash an older bootloader.

I'm going to try formatting it to extFAT and use dkp's kernel to see if it will recognize the card. I see dkp can recognize 64gb sd cards. Let's see how it goes. I just came from 4.3 AOSP and TW and want to enjoy using Kitkat for a bit longer.
Appreciate the insights.
I had remembered seeing somebody having the same problem in the aospa thread. Apparently they erased the card and remounted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48901946. You could try messaging the post author for details
