Stuck on Samsung screen for the second time. Please help

this is now my second phone that ended up struck on the opening screen. I rooted both with Odin and both worked fine. On the first phone I tried to use a font changer app and when I rebooted it wouldn't get past the opening screen. Same story on the new phone only this time I changed the font folder, rebooted and same thing. Plus when I try to flash from external sd the option isn't even there. I have a 64 card that says the format et fat. The only option my computer has I is to change it to ntfs. I have tried factory reset on recovery, no go. I could really use some good advise and would really appreciate it. Thanks

Please don't return your phone because of this.
ODIN back to stock (or rooted stock) and start over.
Use diskpart command line utility to format your card fat32 or format it from inside android.

Thank you first off. However I have no idea how to go back to stock in Odin and no idea how to change to fat 32 is that an application your talking about. Sorry first the noobness, this is my 4th phone and the only one I have had problems with. I am using my S2 and I have roms on my computer (have no net ) so I think if I could just get my card to 32 could just flash a new rom. Thanks again

Getting a 32gb SD card soon.

What format should I have it in? I am totally new to SD cards since the Epic 4g and I have no idea which format works best or which one is compatible with certain ROMs. I plan on using mostly Aosp ROMs, by sometimes Freegs3 Jellybean.
Thanks for your time

Also would you guys recommend this one?

Fat32.
Format it in the phone or use SDFormatter, or just use the format it arrived in. Don't format it using a PC format program, they aren't optimized for SD cards

If you're going to buy one, just go with 64gb. Won't have to worry about an upgrade in memory for a loooong time.

Why is "sdcard" using so much battery?

I have no clue why sdcard is taking so much battery, nor do I know why it has taken up 46 minutes of CPU time and counting. I'm on an AT&T Galaxy Note II running CleanROM 3.5 if that makes a difference. Its an old version of my ROM but very stable and I've had this ROM forever, and I only noticed this sdcard issue today but I know that it wasn't there when I first flashed the ROM, making me doubt that as the problem.
Any clues?

It might be about to die so is constantly ejecting and reading again... Backup just in case, that has been an issue with this phone

Maybe u have certain files on the SD that the system is using.... Maybe what I can suggest is backing up what u need, and formatting your SD card? Just a suggestion.

CM11 and any AOSP-based ROMs cannot have move 2 SD feature because the Nexus devices which AOSP is based for do not have SD card slot. You can use Link2SD and GL2SD. Link2SD requires you to repartition your SD card.

Need help. Any idea what causes of TWRP back-up failing.

Good morning.. maybe you can help me how to successfully back up my stock rom on TWRP 3.1.0HIMA, before I install custom rom. I keep on failing on 52% on backing up system image. I got a big space on my external more than 20gig.
Thank you in advance.

If this is the answer,so I need to use the first system image I backed up as read/write and RE-flash seperately to my data?

Is the SD card formatted to exfat? Fat32 doesn't support files that are bigger than 4gb and since some of the backup files are indeed bigger this will cause a failure of the backup process.

I could swear that when i did my backup my sdcard was fat32.. I know you're right but I don't remember reformatting or repartitioning..
Maybe I'm getting too old and losing my marbles.. Or a brain tumour..
