OK so i bought a 64GB micro SD card for my phone. I moved everything from my old card onto it and all was working well.
Today i decided i wanted to flash a new ROM and i installed the ROM onto the external SD card. I went into CWM, formatted data/cache/dalvik and went to go look for the zip to flash. However CWM wouldnt recognize my SD card. I had to remove that SD card, install the ROM onto my old 16GB SD card and install it from there.
Just wondering if anyone else has had that issue. THe 64GB card worked perfectly fine up until that point...
You will have to format the new card to Fat32.
I read about that, but it was working before and now that I flashed a new rom, it's working fine again. It was just from I had done a factory reset until I flashed a new rom.

Did you do factory reset/wipe data before installing?

CWM 5.8.2.0
and I have wiped everying.
Remove and reinsert SIM card and SD card (while phone is off), and try again.
Is there any ROM that you've used that did work?
What exactly did you do leading up to when the problem first started?

I too had the reboot issues even after installing almost all ROMs including stock as well as CM series. However, thanks to instructions from DRUMIST, my phone is stable now. I think the problem is with the SD card. If you see LOST.DIR in your SD Card, it indicates some bad sectors or wrong formatting .The steps I did to resolve this issue are :-
1. Removed the SD card from phone, inserted in Laptop and did a FULL FORMAT (Not Quick format). [It may take some time]
2. Re-inserted SD card and Flashed Official LG V20c using OTA update method ( Using LG Tools ).
No reboots since 7 days of heavy usage.
Thanks again to drumist for advice

Glad you got your problem solved. However I should mention that Android will always create the LOST.DIR folder on your SD card if it doesn't already exist. Just the folder being there is not a problem -- however, if there is anything inside it, that means there was some data corrupted at some point. Most people should have nothing inside that folder.

So formatting it from CWM wouldn't have worked then? I would assume that would have been easier.

Possibly, but I personally suggest using SD Formatter which is a program that will do a better job of formatting an SD card than either Windows or CWM.
Ive been using my gs3 for some time now, rooted and working great. i updated my clockwork and flashed a few new roms along with new kernels. My problem is now i can not get my phone to mount my 64 Lexmark micro sd. it was fatx then moved it to fat32 but when its fat32 my phone says its damaged and ask to format, so i format then after that it can not mount it. it works fine on my older android phones but they are not rooted. so i suspect Clockwork recovery. im at 6.0.2.3 tried both touch and non touch. no luck. tried many different roms along with stock and stock kernel. no luck. any help? or link to older clockwork recovery that work?
thank you also running 4.1.1 jedi outcast rom right now
Did you try formatting it back to exFAT? Mine is formatted FAT32 and reads fine. Does the card read when you put it in a computer?
Yes I tried to format it in my pc to both fat32 and fatx. Also reads fine on my pc.

Here are a few possibilities:
- does the card work in any other devices? pc, phone, etc.?
- format card after saving files if needed.
- try a different card. Possibly a bad card.
I flashed thw stock kernel and problem went away

Hello,
I am having this exact same problem. This is after flashing Wicked rom version 8. Do i have to go back to cyanogen mod or can this be fixable. Can I flash the stock kernel like the above user did, but on top of Wicked rom?
I dont have a card reader on my computer so I cannot format it from there. Is there way I can format it through my phone and see if that works?
Sorry I am a newb to all this.
thank you.
Any idea on what I can do?
- The SD card works (tested it on another phone)
- I first got this message when I rooted the device (I was running everything stock back then) Then I flashed cyanogen mod (stable) and the SD card worked perfectly.
- Now i flash Wicked rom v8 and the problem appears again
plz help.....I'm going to try to reroot and see what happens.

ok sickkkkk i got it to work. Flashed ChronicKernel and now external SD card is mounted. FK YA!
Hi, I downloaded CM11 and had no issues with my internal sd but I tried a different rom, didn't like it, and restored back to the CM11 rom. Now, I'm having issues with the sdcard. It doesn't show. I have all my backups, pictures, music there. I know for a fact that it still exists because I can see it when I mount it on recovery. When I load into the os, it says I have no sdcard. So how do I fix this?

I'm having them same issue. But can't mount in recovery or no apps can detect my SD card. I know all my data is on my SD card. Took data off formated SD still can't detect SD. Sooo stumped. Ran several 4.3 ROMs. Heard they weren't good because of SD issues. Issue did start after installing a 4.4 ROM though. If a solution if found I'll get back with you. But as it sits I've tried everything except reverting back to stock and rerooting. Last resort.
I just posted about a similar issue I'm having with custom ROMs reading my SD card for this phone. not sure but would be interested if anyone knows what's going on

Good to I'm not only one. Been using twrp 2.6.1.0 with no issues. Been running 4.3s for while. Tried some TW.. No issue.. Tried some 4.2.2a again.. No issues. Tried latest Slim 4.3.1 and BLAMMO! had issues booting it but finally did.. Then restored back to a 4.2.2 ROM and now my ext SD is not visible. It is intact cuz twrp sees and restores from it.. WTF!
EDIT my previous. Slim is vindicated. Seems both of my 4.2.2 backups are corrupted for some reason. Restored a Slim 4.3 build and my SD card issues are gone. Weird.
I flashed the latest version insane kitkat v5 and followed the instructions of wiping. And now it says my sd card is damaged. But when I put it in a different phone, it reads fine. I'm using s5 toggles and s5 settings. Not sure if that matters. Any help please!! Thanks!

Just a thought. Can you back the card up to your computer then put the card on the phone and format it? Then restore the backup from computer.
