Remove the micro sd from the phone, put it into the converter so you can
use it with your computer.
Then format it in FAT32, after it's done put it back in the phone and
you will find that your problem has magically disappeared.

Thanks. I'll try this now.

From what I can recall cwm only recognizes fat 32. You can format your sd card to fat 32 using a specific windows app. It's called guiformat.

You can also use Easus Partition Manager.
I've been using it for years. It's what I used to format my own 64GB MicroSD in Windows to Fat32.
It's free btw

It's not supported I'm in the same boat

By default, 64 Gig card is formatted in exFAT which is not currently supported. I had the same issue earlier.
Connect your card via Card reader to a computer and format it as FAT32. It should work. Search for "fat32format.exe". This should easily format the 64G card without any issues.

Like when you first format your card was exfat or fat32? I flashed MIUI rom to my Notell before and I am using 64Gb card exfat format and it works fine.

[Q] How to use 64GB SD card in Tmobile Galaxy S4

I have tried to use a samsung 64GB micro sd card in my galaxy s4, but everytime i put music on the sd it says the sd is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I contacted T Mobile and they told me that their version of the galaxy s4 would only take sd cards up to 32GB. I have read some other treads on this site to try and get around this, like the exfat thing of fat32, both of which failed. I have recently rooted my phone, successfully, and i was wondering if anybody could help me get past this 32GB sd card only bs. Now that I have rooted my phone is there any option i can take to successfully have my 64GB sd work in my galaxy s4. If you need more information please let me know. I would like to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to try and help me.
Find a kernel that's exFAT compatible our reformat to FAT32. The factory firmware s should be compatible iirc.
Tmobile is wrong about only accepting 32GB sd card.

I have tried both ways exFat and Fat32. I have over 32GB on the sd card, but once i put the sd in my phone the phone tells me the the sd is damaged. I am new to all this ROM, Kernel, etc... stuff. Where could I find a kernel that supports exFat or FAT32 and how would I install this on my phone without messing it up?
I think they all support FAT32, stock firmware should support exFAT. You might just have a bad card.

Have you tried a different 64gb card? I have no problem on stock rom using a 64gb card I got on amazon.
Like what he said. I've been on Stock for a month before switching to custom ROMs but within that month I've got no problems using my 64GB card. Try another card, might be your card is damaged in the first place...
I have tried 3 different cards. I get the same message with each card.
Did u try reformatting while the card is in the device? Or thru cwm?

I have tried reformatting while card was in the device. I am not sure how to go about formatting through cwm.
I also have a 64gb sd card. Works great.

That is awesome. I wish I could figure out how to get mine to work. What kind of sd do you use? What was your formatting method?

When I try to format through clockwork I select mounts and storage, format external sd and then i get the message....."formatting external sd and then underneath it says error mounting external sd...skipping format. Any thoughts???
Maybe try reinstalling the Rom? Factory reset?

I honestly think, if you've really tried 3 different sd cards, that you could have a bad MicroSD slot. You might go into T-Mobile and ask them if you can try your card in one of their S4's. If your card works fine in a different phone, then, if your phone is a recent purchase, exchange it, if it's relatively new, get a warranty replacement.
I formatted my 64gb card on my pc using an adapter & have had zero issues. Currently running Infamous v8.0.

Format to Fat32. I recommend creating a Live USB of Ubuntu and doing it through gparted.

Mine works fine
I have a sandisk ultra 64 in mine formatted out of the box for exfat and it works just fine. You should not be having those issues.

What kernel are you using?
Could be a bummed sdcard. I had the same issue with a knockoff. Now I have a 64g exfat with no issues.
