Mounting a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC card? Inserted it into the phone but it won't recognize?
64gb MicroSDXC card mounting information here for anyone looking (other sd card sizes also apply):
OK here's the rundown on this, you have a SD card you want to place files on, if you have a 64gig you probably have HD videos (larger than 4gb files) in mind but it's different for everyone. There are 3 major formats, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS. These all have upsides and downsides:
FAT32 - is pretty much universally compatible with all devices, however it has a fatal flaw. The maximum file size of any 1 file cannot exceed 4gb, pretty worthless...
exFAT - does not have a file size limit, yet is incompatible with many devices. The Galaxy S III does support this natively, but to my knowledge every custom kernel except Adama 003 does not.
NTFS - this has the least compatibility probably because Microsoft created it and hoards the licensing rights (don't quote me on that ). However, if you download the app ntfssd from the play store, you can format your card to NTFS (this is the most painful part of the process since it requires the card to be plugged into your PC) and mount it with any kernel and any ROM! - This is the current format of my sd card right now and it works flawlessly.
This is just a reminder for people who would like to format their SD cards with NTFS etc. I posted this earlier in the year for my P6800, but it is still valid for my N7100. It is also useful for external USB drives (the 2Tb with external power, etc.)

Please hit THANKS if this helps anyone in the dark.
Just to confirm that my 2TB external hard drive was mounted instantly under /storage/UsbDriveA.
tested HD and avi - both play using MX Player and other Video players.

I think that CWM is not advanced as to mount NTFS yet - I think you need to partition your SD to both (ex)FAT for, say 4Gigs and the rest for NTFS. This way you get the best of both worlds. Using a 16Gig or 32Gig SD is probably better to do this.
I am not quite sure if Aroma or the toolkit by mskip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956 read NTFS(?)
I just purchased a new 64GB SanDisk SDSDQX-064G-A46A micro SDXC card from Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171773
The card works fine in my S3 and in my PC, but it will not mount in my S4, not even from Clockwork Recovery. Both my S3 and S4 are running the stock ROM, but the S4 is rooted where the S3 isn't. I went to the local T-Mobile store and while they didn't have an S4 to test my new card in, they did have a Note 3 which mounted my new card just fine. Additionally the 32GB card that was in the Note 3 mounted just fine in my S4.
What is going on here?
Format the card to Fat32 on your PC and see if that works.

There is no option to format to FAT32, only exFAT. Additionally, from what I read here Windows cannot format FAT32 volumes lager than 32GB.

A bit more reading and it seems the kernel that removes the SetUID restriction causes issues with exFAT formatted cards. Thankfully the fix is easy, just needed to install this exFAT module from recovery. The entire process is described here.

Here is a free windows utility which will format any size sdcards using FAT32.
Give it a try. Here is the direct download link: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/download/fat32format.zip
Good luck!

There's plenty of software to format the 64gb card to Fat32. I'm running a 64gb card in Fat32 format right now.

Anyone ?
Do not use NTFS on a Android device for everyday use.
Use exFAT, its better than FAT32 and NTFS for Android.
Hi to all members and senior developers,
I have purchased a 64 GB Micro SD Card (Kingston - Class 10). It came pre-formatted in exFat format. I formatted it in NTFS. Now the issue is that my Samsung S4 recognizes card but TWRP (latest - 3.0.2.0) does not recognize it. It shows 0 MB when i try to mount the card. Also i am unable to mount the card. I know this thread have been answered with a solution that format it in FAT32 format but i don't want to do this because i have some movies and data larger than 4GB. I don't want to format it again so i have to move all my data again to my pc then to sd card.. it is a headache. Any solution will be appreciated. I wont go for FAT32 ! Never how is exFat ... i mean the read write speed is fine on this partition table or not ? Answer soon. Thanks to all
