I have a e980 with a 64 GB sd card. It has always worked. I installed lollipop. Now my phone will no longer recognize the card. Tried multiple cards.
Used a kdz back to stock. Still will not recognize. I even booted into twrp and it will not recognize cards.
Lollipop will say card inserted, but fails to mount. On stock, it doesn't recognize the card, but when I remove it, the option to mount SD will flash for a split second.
Any way to fix?
So a friends 4 GB card was recognized, but I can't get it to recognize 64 GB cards. Any ideas?

Well recently my sd card randomly deleted all my photos from the camera folder and then proceeded to tell me it was damaged. So I formatted it on the phone to the same error of damaged SD card coming up.
I also tried to do it on my pc which I formatted to FAT32 with an allocation size of 16kB, it was successfully formatted but the damaged sd card error still came up.
I can still open the sd card using the adapter on my laptop and copy files to it but once I put it in my phone and reboot, it still says damaged.
Is my 32 card too far gone? I am currently using the card that came with the phone.
EDIT: I also did try the card in a different phone and it worked fine.
Using CM7 with MildWild 4.6
Ok. Here is the scenario. Was on stock rooted LCJ. SD card working perfectly there. I flash to MIUI after doing a totally clean wipe and I'm able to access the SD card via the rom and PC when I sync. I go into recovery and do a full wipe and then flash CM10 with gapps. CM10 loads up okay but i notice that i have a notification that the SD card is broken and I should try formatting it. I attempt to sync the phone to the pc via USB cable but only the internal storage will mount.
I go into recovery and confirm that TWRP can still see the contents of the SD card. Having confirmed that TWRP can see the SD card I do another full wipe and then restore my stock rooted LJC. However, after restoring LJC the SD card issue persist. The phone does an error check but it doesn't fix the issue. It recommends that I format the SD card which I don't want to do and don't know if it will work. I attempt to sync the phone to the PC with the USB cable (which has always worked) but only internal will mount. Go into recovery and the SD card's contents are still showing up.
Also, I have a Kingston Media reader which I pop the SD card into and connect to the PC. Even using this media reader the SD card is still not being seen and the PC says the card should be formatted. Basically the only damn thing that recognizes stuff on the SD card is TWRP.
Anyone have any good advice on this topic? BTW...I have a class 10 64GB sd card. As mentioned above I never ever had a problem with this thing. Have always mounted it to the PC w/o a problem and has always appeared on every rom I have ever tried until trying CM10 today.
41 views and not one person has any input? guess i'm going to have to format the card and hope that works. really sucks balls. wish i at least knew for sure what caused this problem.
had the exact same issue. I had just purchased a sandisk 64 gig the week before and when it happened I had a hard time believing it was the card that went bad. I had no luck recovering anything off of the card but did format it and it has worked fine since.

its not the card...............its the formatting of the card. it has to be formatted fat32 for it to be recognized in cm10. stock format is exFAT
I had the same issue with my SanDisk 64 GB drive. I went back to Synergy and the card is recognized in that ROM. I can't get CWM or TWRP to recognize the card though. I get an error whenever I try to access the card from recovery. It sucks that I have to put anything I want to flash on internal memory
I'm having some strange issues with my S3 and micro SD cards. I noticed any attempt to access one of the folders will force crash any app that tries.
Then I did a nandroid backup from TWRP recovery and when I rebooted the phone, it claimed that the card was empty or damaged.
So I connected the card to my computer to backup everything that was there. Windows did say it needed to be scanned for errors but it didn't find any errors. It was formatted as exFat so I could put larger than 4 GB files on it.
When I put it back in my S3 it wasn't detected at all. No error messages, it was just as if I hadn't put any card in. Under Storage settings, under mount external SD card it just says to insert a card.
What I've found since then is in order to get the S3 to recognize that there is a card I need to do a full format (either FAT32 or exFAT) on my computer. If I do a quick format, it still won't be recognized. I need to do a full format.
But then, if I unmount and connect to my computer, then eject from my computer and put it back in my S3 it isn't detected again and I have to do a full format again.
I thought maybe the card had become defective, but I'm seeing the exact same behaviour now with a different card. The first one I was using was a class 10 32 GB lexar card. The second one is a class 10 16 GB Adata card. Both do the same thing. After a full format on my computer, they are detected on the phone but after unmounting, mounting on my computer, not doing anything except ejecting it, they stop being detected by the S3.
I've even tried re-formatting the card in the phone but that doesn't change anything.
Anyone know what's going on here? Is the phone defective? I don't want to send the phone in for warranty repair except as a last resort as I suspect that would mean several weeks without a phone.
Thanks!
G3 rooted on VS98510B
128gb Lexar UHS-1 microsd 633x,,, the blue and black card.
Phone refuses to recognize card is inserted. I have searched other similar issues and tried solutions,,,,nothing helped.
Tried card formatted from factory Xfat, formatted to NTFS, formatted to Fat32, used SDFormatter back to Xfat..... card was checked for fake capacity using H2TestW.
Card works perfectly in PCs and camera.
Same card in 64gb version recognized immediately,,, just like my other cards.
Card is not seen when attaching phone to PC either.
Phone refuses to even see the card. (so mount option is not available)
Battery pull and restart = nothing
Do not have someone elses phone to try it in.
This is the only 128gb card I have tried,, don't have another one.

try formatting ur sd card into fat32 format using guiformat software.
guiformat didn't help.
I upgraded my T700 to stock 6.01 Marshmallow today. I installed TWRP and rooted with SuperSU. Everything looks good, except that my external SD card is not being detected by the Tab S. This card has been working fine for months.
I tried using a different, freshly formatted card, but it's detected either. When I go to Settings>Storage I see the internal card, but no indication of the external card. If I boot to TWRP, the card shows up and I can browse through the files.
After removing and reinserting both cards and trying everything I can think up, I'm out of options. Should I try using Root Explorer to create a mount point and force the external card to mount? What is the mount point name used by Marshmallow?
Any other suggestions??
Maybe the card file system has been corrupted some how, if you have a notebook and an microsd adaptor format it to fat32 then see if it is detected, if it is detected format it on your tab-s before using it.
John.
The original SD Card reads fine on my desktop PC. I formatted a different card as fat32 and put it in the S Tab, but it doesn't see it. As I said, when I booted into TWRP the card is recognized. I'm thinking that I might flash MM again and see if that makes a difference.
OK, I flashed 6.01 again and this time it's working ok. I think the problem before is that I was using the FolderMount app and when I started it, it deleted a mount point. Everything looks good now.
