[Q] Micro SD card HELP!!

Ok So i have 2 micro sd cards one 8GB and one 32GB. I had recently just bought the 32GB one to give myself a good amount of space but unfortunately they both just stopped working all together. Basically one day my GS3 just began rejecting my 32GB card so i attempted to format it on my computer with a usb adapter, i tried both windows and mac os trying a range of programs but it just won't format. I even tried to format it using CWM but it can't mount it. but i don't think its fried because i just got it and it was working fine for like 2 - 3 weeks...so then i put my 8GB card in for 2 days and same thing...can't format or erase or mount on android...i've searched all over the web and need help cuz at this point i feel like my phone is destroying SD cards.
And one last piece on info if it helps I'm running the task AOKP 4.1.1 rom with their latest release and their latest O/C Kernel and clockwork mod touch on an AT&T Galaxy s3
please help as soon as possible

Yeah, this happens to me too. Reboot, let the phone say the card is damaged, open the back case while the phone is on, remove and re-insert sdcard and that should solve your problems.

Sorry guys neither program worked

If you are using windows try using the Command prompt. You will need to select the volume of the sd cards then delete it. I beleive they will become as RAW disks where you will have create them as new disks from disk management.

Open up an admin command prompt, then type 'diskpart' it'll start the utilitiy in command prompt. Then type 'list volume' it'll show volumes 0 through ~8 or so depending on how many you have. Once you know the number that is associated with your sdcard volume, then type 'select volume x' x being the number of your volume. Then type 'delete volume'
After that go into disk management and find your sdcard. It'll say unallocated. Right mouse click and create new simple volume.

Download the SD Card Formatter and try to format your card using that tool; see if that works. I made the mistake of formatting my brand-new SanDisk 64GB microSD card, which worked perfectlyin my Galaxy S III prior to that, and it wouldn't work afterwards. I tried all different methods of formatting & formatting programs to no avail. As soon as I used this program, my card worked like a charm in my phone again!
Good luck!
Dennis

Ive tried that and many other formatting programs but none of them work

try sandisk SDXC 64gb - ppl report good results with it.
Also - reflash stock ROM with nontrip root method.

did you try guiformat?

I will try this program next thanks guys

MicroSD card losing connection with phone = MTP issues on JB 4.1.1 official release

Every time I flash anything based on the official JB 4.1.1 release, my 32GB MicroSD card (Patriot brand?) freaks out. The phone will say it's "unexpectedly removed" and then adds it back in, and removes it, over and over.
It's happened on all three JB 4.1.1 ROM's I've tried.
I thought my MicroSD was going bad so I low-level formatted it in Windows (hated doing this) and still had trouble. But ONLY with the card in the phone. Windows usually liked the card just fine.
So what I did to resolve it was use Titanium Backup Pro to "freeze" the "MTP Application". After doing that, my MicroSD works great in the phone and AFAIK, I haven't lost any functionality. So I'm not sure what the "MTP Application" is or does, but so far.... so good.
This post is just a heads up to others, in case anyone else runs into this problem.
Or in case anyone wants to tell me WTF is wrong.

Ive had this issue as well twice. Both times I had to format the sd card in my pc and it will work fine for a while. Im curious to know if you are using es file explorer? Im thinking it might have something to do with this issue.

Nope. Never.
Root Explorer + TWRP (if that matters).

Hmm come to think of it I just recently purchased root explorer about the time all this started but surely an app couldn't cause this issue? Heck I dont know it happens so random it hard to pinpoint the problem thats causing it. If I figure it out I will let you know

Ive been trying to duplicate the problem all day with no success. However I have froze the MTP app so maybe thats what the cause is? Would you happen to be using a sandisk micro sd? Because I am..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Ahh hah I duplicated the problem on my phone anyway. I used the my file app to move a rather large file from the internal sd to my external sd and afterwards it lost connection. I had to remove the sd card and install it several times to get it to mount back again. Im not sure if its the moving of the file or the my files app itself that is doing it. I also noticed the media scanner isnt running after moving the file. So I hadnt pinpointed the exact cause but im dang sure getting closer. And I dont think its a bad sd card because I tried another and it did it with it too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

You were able to duplicate it even with MTP frozen?
Wow, I have yet to recreate the issue with MTP frozen.
My SD is a Patriot brand. Purchased at Fry's Electronics.

Yea it happened with MTP frozen and unfrozen. Ive tried freezing the my files app and every file explorer on my phone. I just cant put my finger on the cause it happens so random. But it seems me and you are the only ones having this issue so im wondering if we didnt get a bad flash when we updated. When I updated via kies it did not do a full wipe update it did what is known as a dirty flash which I never do because you end up with issues like this. So if we continue to ask each other questions we will eventually figure out what the common link as far as if its an app we are using and things like that.
So did you update via kies or odin?
If you updated via odin where did you get your firmware file file from and if you used odin was it odin on the pc or mobile odin?
And was your update a full or a dirty flash?
We are gonna figure this thing out one day lol.....
Edit.... well apparently we are not the only ones having this issue. Over on droid forums there are several s3'owners most on t mobile but anyway it appears there are a few phones out there with this problem and the only fix is to replace the phone and sd card because the phone ruins the card by unmounting it without stopping it first. My phone is still under warranty so I will be calling ATT tomorrow for them to replace my phone and throw a fit for them to replace my micro sd. I paid 48 bucks for this card and I think ATT should replace it since their faulty phone ruined the card

Wow.
I had the problem with two or three different ROM flashes. So it wasn't just one ROM flash.
Each time, freezing MTP Application has resolved the issue for me.
I'm going on ~4 days now with my current ROM and no more issues since freezing MTP.
Maybe there are a couple different SD card related issues out there.

I had the same problem with ADATA and Kingston brand sd cards. I tried the Sandisk 8GB from my old phone and no problems so far.

Freezing the mtp app has seemed to slow it down. The only problem with freezing mtp is that is how the phone mounts to the pc. Mine just did it again but I unfroze mtp to hook my phone to the pc and right after I backed some stuff up and unplugged it, before I could freeze mtp again it unmounted the card. Ive also tried several different sd cards and several different sizes even tried a 2gb Samsung card with the same results. Im thinking hard about going back to ics to see if that will resolve the issue. ...

I found that my 64GB card was not recognized by the newer kernels - when I use the older kernels or stock, it is recognized, otherwise, the ROM attempts to read the card, and then states it is 'ready to be removed'.

Try reformatting the 64gb card to a fat 32 file system. 64gb cards come formatted exfat and some s3's have had trouble reading them. Put it in a pc into the card reader and open my computer. Then right click on the drive thats showing your card. Ex drive E or F. Mine is drive N. Once you right click on it click format and a box will pop up and you will see the box that says exfat. Click the drop down box and change it to fat32 then click format and your done. Once it finishes put it in your phone and it should recognize it...

Well my 64gb micro sd came today from Amazon and from what ive read on xda and the net I would need to change the file system from exfat to fat32. So I put it in the pc pull up mini tools partition wizard and it gives me no option to format it, I try windows no option for fat32 only ntfs or exfat so I try a couple of others with the same results. Then I try hp format tool and finally format it to fat32 then put it in my phone and it says its damaged and needs formatting so I do and put it back in the pc and im back to exfat. So it seems to only work in my phone in the exfat format soooo im just gonna leave it alone. Oh I even tried formatting it in command prompt and changing the file format and it fails so now im starting to wonder if thats what happened to my old 32gb card and why I suddenly starting having trouble out of it when I updated to jb is because it was fat32. Maybe this new jb dont handle fat32 well or maybe my s3 dont like fat32. Hell I guess its just a mystery. ....
So I would suggest if your having sd issues try formatting your card to exfat and see if that helps the connection issues

What is wrong with my Note 2?! PLEASE HELP

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!

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.

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

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.

[Q] extSDCard problems

I am having problems with my external SD card. It is a 32GB Sandisk card. I can create directories under /extSDCard and copy files to those directories. However if I reboot my phone all of the directories and files are gone. I went to setting/storage and select the external sdcard. The system tells me it is blank. I see in the notifications something about a blank sd card and something about unsupported files. I then tap that and it gives me the option to format it which I select. When I do that it immediately reboots and I am in the same boat as before I started. Basically I have an unusable SD Card. This card used to work but some time ago I accidentally formatted it in TWRP and sort quit using it for a while until today. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I am running AOKP if it makes any difference.

Might have a bad SD card on your hands. But you didn't mention trying to format it on a PC instead of the phone. Then try transferring some stuff over to it again too see it it's ok. Just use the pc to drop a few files on it b4 placing it back in the phone...
If no quirky then possible dead sd. What size? Anything under 64 very inexpensive to replace on Amazon.com

If no quirky then possible dead sd. What size? Anything under 64 very inexpensive to replace on Amazon.com

Thanks you Bajanman I will try to format it with a PC. I can't imagine that the thing shouldn't still work. At one time I had 20GB of music, movies, etc copied to it before I mistakenly formatted it while in TWRP.

Unfortunately I think the card is damaged. I formatted it on a PC and put it back in my phone and still see the same behavior. I then put it in another phone and although the format went as one would expect that phone reports the card as damaged.

Sandisk cards have issues with the Note 2. My Sandisk card went crazy after being in my Note 2. I just bought a Samsung card and haven't had issues at all.

Yes I just found out the card does work. It was actually a 64GB card. I put it in my tablet and it worked fine so I took the exact same model of Sandisk card that was in the tablet and put it in the Note 2 and I see the exact same behavior as the other card(blank sd and reboots if I try to format).
The card worked before I installed AOKP on the phone. I wonder if it is AOKP or the Note 2? This weekend I guess I will restore the backup I took before I installed AOKP to find out.

Good luck!
I just put that Sandisk card that freaked out in my Note 2, in my Note 1 and it works fine. I think it's the Note 2. If you google the issue, you'll see a whole bunch of forum posts here and other forums talking about it.

I took your advice and ordered a Samsung card. I really don't want to restore back to stock and get the KNOX update so I will stick with AOKP. I agree I don't think AOKP is the problem.

SD Card Removed Unexpectedly?

After rooting my new Note 4, I'm randomly getting a notification that my SD Card was removed unexpectedly. I backed it up and tried reformatting it, but still see the message several time an hour. There is no issue with the card when connected to the computer, just randomly while in the phone.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64g.
Thanks!

I have a non - rooted note 4 Verizon and I noticed that as well. Maybe 3 To 4 times already.

At least I know it's not just me. Hopefully one of these geniuses out here have a suggestion or fix for it...

It does it to me even more so than that.

Do you guys have spare cards you can try to see if it is the card of the phone? If you try with a spare card and it doesn't happen, try formatting the original card after you copy data to a computer.

I did try another card, with the same results. I backed up everything to my PC using a card reader with no issues. Reformatted the card the first time on PC with the same results. Tried formatting on the phone, same results. It seems to happen a little less frequently now, but still happening. If no one makes me feel stupid with a simple answer to the problem, my next step is a factory wipe and see what happens, but would really like to avoid that...
