can a sd card be damaged if its not removed while you gain root or cwm or flash a rom? i have a sandisk 64gb class 10 that use to work fine before i flashed my S3. After i flashed freeSG3 my sdcard wouldn't mount, keeps saying sd unexpectedly removed. it came preformatted as exFAT and worked fine on the stock tw rom. i stuck in my computer and it said it needed formatted so i reformatted as exFAT and copied a couple files to it. soooo.. im assuming it isn't damaged since it works in my computer. still no luck getting it work on my phone though. I tried my other sd's to see if it was the rom maybe but they work just fine, its only this card. im confused to why it isnt working now, but use to work but still works on my computer. ive only had it for a couple weeks and luckly i got it off of amazon so i can still return it. i've tried rebooting my S3, i even tried to mount in it my vibrant after i reformatted even though i know the vibrant doesnt suppport 64 gb.. it said damaged sdcard. ill give it a few more days of research before i send it in for a new one, im hoping i can get it to work again. my other option i was thinking about doing was to restore my phone back to stock to see it would work again. i dont really want to do that but i think i will for the hell of it before i try returning it.
Your SDCard is not damage, as I've mention in your other thread you are probably running a custom kernel that doesn't support exFat.
Either reformat your card as FAT32 or NTFS or flash back to stock kernel that does support exFat.
exFAT is a proprietary Microsoft product. They don't release licensing to open source software like Android. Apparently Samsung as some kind of licensing deal with Microsoft to use exFAT that's why the stock kernel will work with newer SDCARD formatted as exFAT.
I am going to piggy back on this thread and say that I have the "unexpectedly removed" bug
S3 running stock 4.0.4 - it works fine with a 2gb microsd, but I just bought a 32gb micro sdhc class 10 and it just won't read.
Tried exFAT, Fat32 - NTFS doesn't read on the card.
Suggestions?

I was using 32gb card earlier on Stock Rom-unrooted, rooted, RcMix and Xquisit roms without any issue. I know you would have tried but have to ask, did you try copying any data onto the card on a PC? May be some bad sectors are causing it to not recognize.
Can you tell me if CWM or TWRP recognize the card?
I don't have any issues with all my cards - 16gb, 32gb and 64gb ultra sdxc.
I've been putting off rooting it since I was content with the factory rom, but I guess I have no choice. I'll check CWM after I root it.
However, I can't copy any data onto it. Also, the phone recognizes the card but it keeps unmounting/remounting it.
how can I tell if CWM sees the card? Even after root, the phone sees the card, just can't copy anything to it.
Did anyone ever have a fix for the "unexpectedly removed".
Had the problem before. Reformatted sdcard and odin back to stock then flashed cm10 with no problems.
Recently went back to TWFrosty, and the problem exists again. Could it be from going back and forth between TW and Aosp?
My card is fairly new, about 2 mths? Maybe 3.. Weird error, it shows my external sd card blank, then all of the sudden if I leave it be all my files will show back up. Also it has went so far to ask me to reformat the card with my phone. I just avoid the answer, and eventually all my files come back. When I'm near a computer and it does this, I'm able to still see all of the files on the external sdcard on my PC, just not on my phone.
Thanks for all the help..

Sounds like you need to backup then reformat the card. You didn't say what kind/size it is or what format. That can help.

Well I've got same problem with my 32 SanDisk. Sometimes it's shown on my computer and my phone and tablet, but for the most part its just not showing at all. IdK what the hell is wrong with the thing. I have another one just like that one, and so far (knock on wood) no problems, so my hardware is ok........

For large (32/64GB) cards, if you're going to use an AOSP ROM, you have to format to FAT32 (or ext3/4). TW based roms will format to exFAT if you format it inside the phone. The drivers for exFAT aren't included in AOSP though.
Recently got my phone which runs through Kodoos and cant seem to find an answer online via HTC manual?
ive browsed several SDcard threads here on the forums and none seem to be covering my problem?

[Q]: Is there a way to format this SDcard?

Try to format the card in pc using an incompatible format like ntfs and then put it in the phone and then the phone should ask you if you want to format the card. If not try to go to settings and format manually.

dude. just format the sdcard using your pc in FAT16 format. you can also try fat32 but I don't know how it plays with android.
cheers!
PS: after you format it using the above method, it's good to take the sdcard out from your phone and then put it back. just to be on the safe side

im getting very frustrated at the thought of a phone that doesnt even see a simple SDcard when my PC does?
Well it might be some hardware issue. The phone does not recognize that sd card is in right? Does the phone show something when you plug in the card while the phone is on?
Did you try to put in other card?

nothing shows up when putting the card into the phone while it is on, but it does state SDCARD REMOVED when pulling it out from the phone
May be the SD card have some defect. Insert some other SD card and see if the phone nose it out.

ill probably end up doing that and just buy a new sdcard but i have a feeling itll do he same thing seeing as my PC sees it just fine and my last phone used it without a glitch. Now formatting this card for this phone, ive lost 1gb of photos!
Well I just did a small test. I have formatted a spare SD card with NTFS(I used MiniTool Partition Wizard for that) and put it in the phone. It told me that the SD card is blank and not properly formatted and asked if I want to format the card.
So this is something that your phone should do too. So my conclusion is that there must be either something wrong with the card or with the phone. So hurry to try a different SD card and if it doesn't work you should ask for replacement device.

thanks everyone so very much for all your help!!!
i called Future Shop (where i purchased my device) and explained everything including your guys help to them, and they said it sounds like the devices card reader is defective. So...seeing as i just got this on Friday last week, i can exchange it for a new device at no cost.
:good:
just got back in from future shop....
seems it was the sdcard that was defective but...
after coming home, i reformatted the old sdcard back to ntfs and dropped a pic on it from my PC and it still works?? lol
for some odd reason the device just didnt see the card? maybe cuz it was generic? maybe cuz it was only 1gb? i dunno??
however...got me a new 8gb sdcard for 14.00, thatll do me just fine!!
again, thanks for all the help

Btw, I have been using a 64GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 for over 6 months with no issues. All my music, videos, ROMs backups etc are stored on the card. It gets heavy usage.. the biggest common denominator of the thread appears too be that the size of the card is the main issue and not the brand. 32GB cards are having the most problems.

Hard to say when you didn’t tell us what kind of SD card it is, what size, and how long you have had it. You need to give more information.
If it is a 64 GB card, it is because android natively does not support exFAT file systems for storage. Your issue is that the format is not compatible. In this case, flash perseus kernel found in the original android development section. Problem solved.
If it is an SD card of 32 GB or less, the issue is likely that you need to just format it. In this case just find an adapter to plug it into your PC, when the little window pops up asking you what you want to do “open folder to view files etc etc” all that… just close that window. Open some other folder (doesn’t matter which one) and on the left side you will see the drive shown. It will probably show up as F: or something… maybe G: … maybe Z:… who knows… but it will NOT be C:… C is your computer drive, don’t touch that.
Find the storage device on the left side, RIGHT click on it, and select “format”….
UNCHECK the “quick format option”…
For the file system select “FAT32” and for the cluster size select 32kb… (default is 16, but 32 is better and will provide better performance.)
Start the formatting. It will take a while… so go grab some lunch. If that doesn’t solve the issue then I don’t know what to tell you without more information but my guess after that would be that you have had the card for a while and it simply needs to be replaced.
What size card is it, what class, and who makes it?

That's weird my 64GB SanDisk Class10 card, that I have been using for months on my Note 2, is exfat and I haven't had a single issue with it.
My card was exfat right out of the box and that is how I used it. Right out of the box. I have NEVER formatted it.
Edit.
I'm on Tweaked now. Before that Stock Android.

I'm using the Stock Kernel.. if I don't my extsdcard doesn't get recognized. I'd have to format it to fat32.. Here is a pic from Terminal to show I'm exfat. Look at the last paragraph.
I am stumped! I got a Sandisk 64gb sd card for this. Naturally, it came formatted as exfat. From stock through 3 different CM based ROMs, I can't get this S4 to read the SD card. I even downloaded a partition manager to format it to Fat32. I also wiped it and let the phone format it. Even after that it would read it. I know CM now supports exFat format. I even flashed separately the script from the original thread. In any case my laptop has no problem with the sd card. Any help appreciated.
I have a Patriot 32 gb class 10 that was working fine until s couple of days ago. Then the phone said sd card unexpectedly removed. Pulled battery and card nothing. Did a format still nothing put that card in my Asus transformer tablet. read just fine took the card thatvi had in my tablet without formatting it put it in my s4 and it read it. this is my 4th galaxy device they should have figured this out by now. Any suggestions.

The sudden unmounting and/or sd card not being recognized by the S4 and other devices as mentioned is a known issue that is usually SD card related. Sometimes it's just a matter of reformatting your card to Fat32 if your ROM cannot read exFAT cards.
But if that's not your issue or you already reformatted your card to the appropriate format, the SD card has failed and warranty/replacement is suggested.
Can happen to SanDisk cards in addition to other manufacturers.
You may hear this issue being associated to SanDisk cards if only because they are probably the most counterfeited card out in the market. But the issue can occur to non counterfeit cards also.
To reduce your chances of having theses issues happen, always get your cards from reputable sources, in blister original packaging, etc. And if the price looks too good to be true, it most likely is. Even if you take the above precautions, you can still have issues.
Always back up your data for that 'Just in case moment' in case stuff happens.
Purchasing a card whose Manufacturer and/or Seller has an excellent return/exchange policy is a plus.
Having a spare SD card available can help you troubleshoot what your issue may be regarding a defective card, formatting issue, device issue, etc.

I started to reply to you but my laptop crashed. Seems this s4 just doesn't like that 64gb sandisk. I had an 8gb card laying around and that worked like a charm. The sandisk was foramted exfat out of the box. I formated fat32 and didn't work. I wiped it and left it without format. Put in the phone to let it format the card. It did--fat32 and then still wouldn't read it or even mount it.
I sure don't have anything to lose by trying a different program to format that card. It could come in handy even if I don't use it in the phone. A camera comes to mind.
Oh yeah, it was easeUS that I used to format the card in the first place. Try something else.

Hmmm...
There have been issues with the 64gb SanDisk cards being read by the S4 as well as other devices as described in my previous post, the Ultra cards from what I've read (red & grey) I have the save card, class 10, running without issue on my previous S3 and current S4.
You may want to try the format link above.
You can always purchase another 64GB card on Amazon with a Seller with many, excellent reviews, and go from there, and return what you have to return
Right. That's the very card I have. Thanks for the help.

Let me know how it goes
This happen to me but with my galaxy s3...turned out sd card was corrupted. Good news was Patriot replaced it with a new one....
If the SD card didn't work in other devices I would seek to exchange it. There are other things I can use it in. I just ordered a 32 GB G skill on new egg. That should do it. The other thing I tried on this sandisk is partition it to 2 smaller ones less than 30 GB each formatted to fat32. Finally it recognized one of those partitions. When I get the other card I'll swap them.

I had the same problem as you OP. I've also downloaded programs to change the format type and stuff, but nothing worked, but I fixed it in a weird way.
My 64gb card didn't work on my samsung. I used many programs to format the card to get it to work, but nothing. What fixed it was....
I took that card and placed it inside my old smartphone (LG G2X). Once placed inside, a pop-up promoted me saying my card was damaged and it will try to fix it. I've tried this on my samsung and it didn't fix it, but once I tried it on this old smartphone, the card for fixed and started to work on my samsung.
I don't know if this could help you, but that's how I fixed my problem.

I don't know what your problem is, then. My 64GB Sandisk card works perfectly in my Galaxy 4.
I don't know what me problem is either. When I have the time I going to return to stock and start over. TWRP won't backup onto the SD card either. Wondering if its behaving this way because I rooted the phone before putting SD card in. Though I have done complete wipe (including internal memory) prior to installing current ROM.

Odd SD Card Response
I have recently upgraded from a ATT Samsung Express (Tracfone) moving my 32GB SD Card into the brand new Galaxy S4 I Knoxed up right out of the box just as a matter of principle. I saferooted the phone and installed TWRP which for some reason refuses to load after a few succesful tries and a backup of my system and restore thern reload of TWRP. My concern in this question (unless some knight in shining armour can make sense of my TWRP issue) is that I am not able to write to the samsung branded SD card I removed from the old phone. I cannot create a ROM directory on it when the phone is connected to the PC, nor can I copy files to it. I had hoped to preserve the photos on the card and suppose I can break down and buy an adapter so it will connect to my PC but the point is it "should" work,, no? I cannot create a directory when the phone is connected to the PC nor can I in ES file Explorer. I've also tried to create a directory in root witth ES and am getting the same error. I just want to get the silly balloons off m screen and get google play to run. I am succesfully rooted. I've tried to reload TWRP with Odin only to get the small print int he uper right hand of the screen then no further. I am able to restore my backups thank God.
This is making me batty on a three step process. The card is my main concern right now as I can't load the ROM to it once I get TWRP figured out. Thanks in advance for all the great help I always get. The better I get the more I'll contribute....I promise.

Hi I recently purchased a Note 2 from a guy on craigslist. I checked out the phone at purchase and everything proved to be correct. I didn't expect however that he had the phone rooted. I'm a big fan of rooting phones that don't have a good operating systems already or didn't have Android JB but phones like the galaxy phones I believe don't necessarily need to be rooted. I was pissed because I wanted it with stock rom but I just decided to accept it and unroot it myself. So after a long process I got it unrooted and running the latest stock rom and everything seemed to work except for one thing. When I transfered all of the Music files from my previous phones microSD(16gb) to my new one(64gb) none of the music files worked. All of them wouldn't play and the phone would say it can't open the file or something like that. So I tried formating the microSD and trying to put the files on the microSD again and still the files wouldn't play. I had to format the card through the phone itself and transfer the files through Samsung Kies just for 3/4 of the music to work. I can deal with 3/4 but now when I transfer a video file weather through Kies or straight to the folder none of the files play. When trying to play them nothing shows or sounds it's just black screen, you can fast foward or skip but nothing shows. I never thought I would have this much trouble with this phone but it appears as though there's a virus on the phone or card or something that is preventing video and music files to play. Even when trying to play files from the phone on Windows Media Player or any other music/video player the files don't play. I have also found that whenever I connect the phone to my PC let's say a day after I last connected it, I have to run USB connections on Kies and it has to reinstall the drivers for the phone just to actually see the files on the phone. Please help me I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance.

You need to flashed a kernel that support exFAT format for 64gb or you can format your 64gb to FAT32 format, but for me i prefer to Saber Kernel and i don't need to format my micro sd card, you could try there are other kernels available for stock rom you can find them here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541

So you're saying it's the microSD's format? It has nothing to do with the fact that the phone was rooted and that it might have a bug? Would kind of make sense because when I put the 16gb sd card in the phone all of the music files work. So it's the format, but I need a kernel? I have also found that whenever I connect the phone to my PC let's say a day after I last connected it, I have to run USB connections on Kies and it has to reinstall the drivers for the phone just to actually see the files on the phone. It'll show the phone but it wont show anything inside it just shows blank. Excuse me if I'm coming off idiotic, I have no experience with this phone or 64gb microSD cards lol

Since you're unrooted, you can't flash a new kernel so you may want to dismiss that last thing.
Have you tried only one 64gb microSD? It seems that your card may be bad or it's not formatted correctly for the stock firmware... I would test out another 64gb card and see if that works since the 16 works just fine.
Edit: Sorry... a little vague... the card needs to be formatted as Exfat if you can do that through Windows, that should work in case the card is actually in good condition.

I don't have any other 64gb microSD cards, the one I have came with the phone. The logo and everything on the card have faded out so I don't know what brand but I think it's sandisk. I don't know at this point I'm thinking it has to be the card because I've tried nearly everything and it's still not working the way I want it to. I formatted it using Windows UGI to FAT32 since thats what you said and that was the same format as the 16gb and sure enough most of the music works with some not working. So I tried putting movies on the card and once I didn't see a preview on the bottom left I knew it wasn't going to work. Seems like the card is bipolar I have a 32gb micro I'll try that, it's brand new still haven't used it, should I just put it in and see if it works or should I format it to FAT32? By the way Thanks again really appreciate your help!

Try formatting to Exfat... it doesn't hurt to try at this point.

I think he mention phone is rooted sorry if misread that part thats the reason i recommend to flashed kernel that support exFAT, actually as far as i know 64gb microsd card default format is already exFAT and 32 or 16gb is FAT32 and some are in exFAT. If doesnt want to flashed kernel then i recommend format sdcard from computer just plug in from card then right mouse that drive then format and select FAT32 format. If some instance your computer can't read your microsd card and cant format there is chance thar your microsd card maybe bad.

If you can see the files in the player, and you can see the sd card directory using a file explorer, its not the card. I had to add two lines to my system settings file. I'm sorry I don't remember the file name or the content of the two lines. Maybe my comment will jog someone's memory.

The phone is not rooted, it's running stock rom. I've already formatted the card a million times to exFat and still didn't work.

I can see the files but they do not work, At this point everything is leading to the problem being the card. I mean my other SD cards work with the phone and have no problem playing music or video files. I've tried nearly everything and the card still continues to malfunction.

I've formatted it to exFat a million times. That what I originally was formatting it to because windows quick format doesn't have a FAT32 option only exFat which was default and NTFS. exFat is not the problem.
It's looking more and more like SD damage...
Considering the fact that other cards work fine...
Copy your media to PC from the SD...and get a new card ?
I know it sucks...
And once the new card is installed...be "very" careful moving those files back as they may be messed up...
I'd pull a few songs from the PC after you copy them over and test them on another card to be sure before loading it to a new and expensive SD...
It sounds like the phone is fine...g

Try to format to NTFS first then format to FAT32 if doesn't work then maybe a bad microsd card

Hummmm, as what the younger people say....REALLY?!?!?!? which I have found has lots of meanings.
really → a question, as an exclamation of dismay, disapproval, doubt, surprise, etc.

I'm not being a scumbag. The card works it's just has some problems but it works. I mean I don't know how the card would react on another phone or maybe someone would use it as their card for their camera I don't know. You're acting like it doesn't work at all and I'm going to try to screw somebody into buying a defective card.
