Is your SD card formatted as exFAT ? If so, the kernel I'm using for TWRP doesn't support it, since it's a closed source module
Sorry about that. My suggestion would be to get a separate SD card for backups/restores for now.

Thanks!

[Q] SD Card Mounting too late

since few weeks i am observing with differents roms (KK ,JB, ICS all) the SD card after reboot is not getting mounted immediately, mostly it is taking about more than 5 minutes after boot, and also sometimes not mounting untill i click on an app which is installed is SD card.
and walkman also talking so many reboots to find media(songs) in SD card after new rom install.
is it card problem or anytinh else?
Try with another card and see if the problem still persist.

format your card with minitool or easus and then try again. just connect your phone to your computer with the sd card in ums mode and format it to fat32 (if it is <=32 gb).
obviously you should backup the stuff on the card to your pc first ^^

[RESOLVED] Transfer more than 4Gb video

Hello
I have a LG G3 (D855) 16Go.
I have also an micro sd card 64 Gb.
So i want to transfer a 8Gb video size on my micro sd card 64Gb but i couldn't because the format is FAT32.
Is there any solution to format in NTFS or another ?
Thanks

I believe formatting it to exFAT should do the trick.

thanks bro! however i already found a solution and i want it to share with you since i thinks its a lot easier. i format the sd card using the computer right click>format> i choose ntfs and quick format, it will fail. after that insert the sdcard on your phone and the phone will automatically detect that the sd card needs to be formatted. atfter that format it with the phone and thats it

[LG D855][CM 13] Issue with sd card and what ROM should I choose?

Hi everyone!
Today I upgraded from CM 12.1. something to CM 13 and got a kinda weird bug, where google play services kept crashing, so i reflashed the gapps, and got another bug where the starting presentation program (don't remeber the exact name of the program, "guided assistance" or something, the one you get at the beggining explaining how to set up your device) kept crashing, making it impossible for me to continue using the device. Decided to restore factory settings (clicking between a crash and another xD) and everything works fine, except the fact that I can't use my sd card any suggestions? Any other info needed?
Is there a marshmallow rom with a working sd card?
P.s. I just read that is a issue that the developers are aware of, but i can't find anyone complaining about this error (the sd card not working) in the xda CM13 thread
Thanks to all!
MicroSD card support in CM13 ROMs is borked - the only thing you can do is wait it out!

Im on the latest CM nightly and I have no issue with my 64GB sd card. I used the built in format option and I seem to be fine

Does the current CM nightly that you're using support exFAT out of the box? The reason for me asking this is because on the 20151207 nightly, it was still complaining that the 'SD card is corrupted'.
FAT32 support for SD cards is fine on portable storage mode but when formatted as 'internal', people are still reporting problems as well.
I got that message as well but when I formatted I got my full sd card

If that is the case, then what file system is your microSD card using currently?
From what I can tell exFAT. My transfer speed was much faster then when I had to use FAT32. Is there an app that can tell me what format my SD card is?

Soorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the built-in format? Can I use an SDXC card from another Android device (Samsung Tab S) or this a special format option found only in CM-13/Marshmallow devices?

When you put a SD card in the phone on 6.0 it will ask if you want to format it. With 6.0 you can use it as portable storage or internal memory for more room for apps and such. I use portable storage but as of the last nightly I didnt have to format my SD card. CM fixed exFAT support in their latest builds.

Hey can you tell me your SD model? And filesystem? Just plug in your pc and see in the properties settings. Can you tell me your CM build?
Little update, I flashed Cloudy 2.5 and Gabriel kernel, thanks all
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard on your computer
3. Inset Sd card into PC with and adapter and/or card reader (NOT WITH PHONE)
4. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat) Be careful to only select the SD card
5. Place SD card into phone
6. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
7. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
8. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
there was a fstab issue with external sdcards, the fix has been merge already though.

Need Help Backing up Phone

Hi, I've recently entered the world of modding, and as such, need to back up my phone. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy S III with only 3 gb of internal memory left, and I'm using Cyanogenmod 12.1. I want to backup my phone to my 64 gb external SD card, but my custom recovery (TWRP) can't find it. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can backup to my external SD card? Thanks!
P.S. Does anyone know how to move TWRP to my external SD card? It takes up 4 gb of space on my measly 16 gb of internal storage. Thanks in advance!

any file manager with root access should allow you to move your twrp backups to extSD. es file explorer is my go to , but there are many out there.

Does the phone have the latest version of TWRP installed? Is the card formatted as fat32?
Yes, make sure you're on the most recent TWRP, 2.8.7. At least one of the other 2.8 series of TWRP releases had some issues with external SD cards on my phone.

Considering ib haven't modified the external SD yet, I think it's still exfat. Do I need to modify it to FAT32?

Sorry, I don't have any cards larger than 32 GB and they are all formatted as fat32. TWRP reads and writes to them with no problem.

There is a spot you can touch towards the bottom of the screen, it's right above the compression and md5sum check boxes. It lets you pick between internal and external storage.
