Using CM 10.1 based ROM - ExtSdCard no longer working - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
Got my Note 2, a couple of months back. Beast of a phone.
Rooted, and installed Team Asylum CM10.1 ROM [01-29-13]. Ever since installing that ROM, the external SD card used to get unmounted when i locked the phone, and re-mounted everytime I unlocked it. I thought that was how the ROM worked, until recently when the External SD card stopped working. Neither the CWM Recovery nor the ROM recognize the card anymore.
Lost my Nandroid backup too, since it was in the external SD card. But I'm hoping that if it ever comes to it, I'll be able to install Stock ROM again through Odin.
Any suggestions, guys?
Thanks in advance.

Cm10.1 doesn't support exfat format it to fat 32 via pc.

[Q] Can't restore because of sd card not mounted?

My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?
Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.
There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

T-Mobile GS3 CWM?

I just want to confirm with other Tmo gs3 users which cwm version they are using. Ive been using 5.5.0.4 which was made by team epic for the Sprint LTE variant, and all other US gs3's. Everything seemed to be working and it was recognizing the external sd card and writing back ups to it. Then I got the new official Tmo CWM from rom manager but it would not recognize the external sd card or write backups to it? I tried both the regular version & the touch version with no success. I ended up back to Team Epics version because it was the only way Im able to use the external storage which is a must in my opinion.Im wanting to know if other Tmo users experienced the same issues, because in the other threads, it seems to be Sprint users only that are saying the official CWM from rom manager is working & recognizing external sd storage.This is one of those times that combined forums can get a little confusing I guess...
Bump.... C'mon Tmo guys, which CWM are you using and is it able to read and write to the external SD card?
T-mobile recovery 5.8.4.7

I am using 5.8.4.7 and I am not having any problems with my external sd card.
I'm using 5.8.4.5 touch version. No issues whatsoever. The other versions wouldn't read my external but this one does. Btw I used the image file posted on the clockwork website
I was so confused last night on which cwm to use. Can you please post a link to the team epic version that recognizes the external sd? Thanks a lot

That's very strange, because I flashed the same version 3 times from rom Manager & it did not recognize my external sd, and the same with the touch version? I'm pretty confused here why it would work on one Tmo phone but not the other & I've found posts in other threads now that confirmed other Tmo users that experienced the same issue I did?
5.8.4.7
Touch
Works flawlessly

SD card trouble?

Hello my long time friends. I use to have the Evo4g but have moved on. However I gave my sister in law my old OG.
I'm running in a weird situation I didn't run into when I was sporting the device. She was running mikg with a partioned SD card and DT installed. When she put a brand new SD card it froze. So eventually I got it back to stock and are rooted it. Now whenever I flash a rom it gets stuck at the splash forever. Can anyone shed some light?

Perhaps a format of new card and partition it via recovery. Stay in recovery, connect to computer, mount with usbms option, (AmonRa), Download new rom, transfer to sd card, unmount phone, wipe all except sd 3 times, flash rom again.
I had the same problem. Changend sd cards and repartioned and it fixed. it

[Q] exFAT question

Hi,
I was previously using XquiziT xD v34 and somehow got the exFAT format to be recognized by the phone. I upgraded to v37 and now the phone rejects the format and forces it to unmount. Is this suppose to happen or did I do something wrong regarding the flashing process? I use Windows 7's formatting tool and I use a 32gb micro SD by Team. Any info regarding this matter would be great Thanks!!
Did you flash a custom kernel. I dont think any of them support exFat so you'd be stuck with stock kernels if im right on that.

The kernal provide by the rom is stock according to the Aroma selection. I'm not sure if superwipe changed anything but the rom would try to read the SD card then a message prompting for safe removal appears. I had to format the card back to FAT32 for it to recognize. I am using Nova Launcher which was the same launcher in v34. I am considering downgrading to v34 to see if it's the fault of the new version.

[Q] Flashing problem

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 sph-l710, for some reason when I try to flash any tw or stock based rom it asks for a password to access encrypted memory. I haven't encrypted it and it flashes any cm based rom just fine. I have tried everything I can think of, I tried to use Odin to go back to full stock, I even formatted everything except the external SD card.... Please help...

I'd format the internal and external sd cards as well as a full wipe and see if that helps
