When I get prompted to allow SD write permissions when accessing my newly formatted sdcard, the name of the sdcard appears as M-^|PNG^M^J^Z^J. This is on V20i of stock rom.
Why?
Just rename it.. How is this a problem for you?
Where do I rename it? I couldn't see.
Edit: Wipe in twrp made it appear as "sdcard" so I'm happy now
Rename using PC!

Hi, pal! I have the same problem: when sd maid request to allow SD write permissions, the name of the sdcard appears as M-^|PNG^M^J^Z^J. My phone is samsung sm-a300fu with 5.0.2 stock rom. Did you do full wipe (clear user data)?
I can't rmemeber exactly but I think I just wiped the sdcard in twrp after moving the files onto my pc.
Same on xperia e5.
This thing happens when you set up your phone the first time after flashing a ROM i.e M or N versions or inserting a newly formatted memory card, or just a card that hasn't been used before on the device . If you ignore the msg that pops up about setting up the new memory card detected. the android system names it in this way by default. (I don't know why they choose this name, it hasn't been clarified anywhere over the Internet) although it doesn't cause any error that I have encountered still it's an annoying thing.
formatting the memory card is not an option for me, and renaming the card doesn't work, I need a better solution to change this annoying default name. that data must be stored somewhere on the device itself where I can change it. anyone has any clue?
One of the reasons I got this phone after having a G2 for a year was to be able to use external storage. Well I am now on my second 128GB sd card, which the phone is supposed to be able to recognize, but it's all but useless. When I inserted each card the first time the phone recognized it and was able to mount it and I was able to write to it. But whenever I tried to copy files using a file manager (I use Total Commander with root access) it will tell me to "select the root of the SC card to gain access" or something similar. So I do that, but it still fails to be able to write to it. Sometimes it causes the SD card to unmount and not be readable by the phone at all except in recovery. I'm on stock 5.0.1 from T-Mobile. Is this an android issue or a phone issue? The first sd card is totally corrupt - I can't even mount it on my PC to format it. I want to find out what the problem is before corrupting this one. The second one I just tried getting permissions using my QuickPic app to copy files over, and I followed the instructions to gain write permission and it seemed to indicate it was successful. But nothing was copied. Then suddenly the SD card was no longer mounted and the OS doesn't see it. I rebooted in recovery and it sees it there. I tried formatting the last one in recovery and that's when it got so corrupted that it was not usable. Any help here?
This may or may not help, but I use either TWRP Manager or the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" app to apply the SD card patch in LP (the SDFix app also works in LP).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en
... so after I root the phone using the One-Click script, I use TWRP Manager to apply the SD card patch, then after the reboot use it to install TWRP.
I have an LG Optimus Pro E980 with 4.4.2, rooted with towel root.
In an attempt to install TWRP recovery today I lost access to my external sd card. Not sure what I did but earlier today I could view, copy files or delete files to my sd card from my phone or from my computer when hooked with usb and media transfer.
I had a lot of trial and error trying to get a custom recovery installed on my phone and in the process I noticed my sd card quit working.
I have rebooted, removed it, reformatted (from my computer) and still nothing changes. ES File Manager sees it (I think) but when I try to create a folder on the external sd it just says it can't. It works when I put it in another android phone so I don't think the sd card is the problem. I also tried the app on google sdfix that makes kitkat have the settings to write to the sd card. Still didn't fix my problem. It will mount or erase from the settings menu. I don't see a format or unmount option at all.
I would like to flash a new copy of 4.4.2 to my phone but I can't find instructions of how to do this that I understand . I figure this will fix my problem and I was wanting to do a wipe and clean install anyway.
Can someone please advise me? TY
Certain twrp can't access the SD disk. I know this because I have installed twrp 2.8 and I notice immediately that it can't access the external SD disk, as normally be in the directory/storage/sddisk1. Don*t ask me which twrp to use because I don't know. I've heard that some twrp can access the external SD disk and some can't without some modification. Try this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3144369
Its been modified, so it should work without any problem. BTW, as I have said on your other topic, why are you trying to reinstall the stock KitKat that you already have? If you have issues, a factory reset, as you've already figure out, should take care of thing, unless you've erase system files. Don't take the process of flashing tot files lightly, because if one of many things go wrong, you may wish you have never know how to flash the tot file.

I just responded to your other post.
Hi people. I had installed this ROM (Marshmallow 6.0) in my LG G3 D858HK dual sim. The link to the ROM is http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/lg-g3-d856-7-8-android-marshmallow-t3294053
But after installing the same my MicroSD card says its corrupted and asks to format it. I have formatted it several times and also by PC with a card reader. But still the issue persists. I don't get the option to set up my card as either INTERNAL or PORTABLE storage as it should be in Marshmallow ROMS. It directly starts to format as Portable storage and starts at 20% and shows successfully formatted. But still it shows that the card is corrupted. My card is working fine. I checked it. Please help.
I have the same problem and not yet identified the reason for this. Have you tried other ROMs? For me it is also happening on CM 13 and CandySix.
Answer.
Hope that helps, it worked for me with the same problem and works always....

I have the same issue with a Samsung 64GB microSD in a LG G3 d851 (T-Mobile USA). The card works fine in Windows and Android Lollipop. However I am testing several Marshmallow ROMs and so far I got this corrupted message in LightDark, Turbo and DU ROMs. However it works fine in Tesla-M. All of them are AOSP Android M ROMs. It seems that there is a problem somewhere but at least Tesla-M tells us that it can be fixed.
Fat32 lads, instead of exFAT format to fat32. The root in MM causes exFAT cards not to be read and stupidly the phone formats it to exFAT. Also the SIM contacts won't appear, instead you have to download an app to copy them from sim to phone.
I'm experiencing something similar.
I am on fulmics 4.2 on a d855. I had no problems for some weeks, than the phone started mounting and unmounting my sdcard, I tried all the suggestions I read online. Like slow formatting (tried all the types of partition), also I tried with the phone format. My best result was the read of the sdcard for just some hours, but then it started auto-expelling it.
I obviously tried with more sdcards and it's not a problem with them. Any suggestions? It's a software problem or an internal hardware problem?
I tried change the kernel a xceed and the sd card is recognized but not funcionally complete,(the radio fm do not work with xceed)

Hi all,
I found out that the same SD card I have since I bought the S5, May 2014, just got corrupted.
It won’t format in the phone, I use the AParted, ES File Explorer, FX Explorer and it never work.
I can still use it in a camera, PC, another Phone and it worked fine!
I put the card back in my PC, reformat in Fat32, ext4, NTFS and each time never worked in the S5.
I did the same thing with a bran new one too, same results.
It starts after updating SuperSU 2.61 to 2.71, in Marshmallow.
Few days’ work fine and then, corrupted.
I tried many options people have here and still the same result, corrupted.
I fix it (I hope) with doing a full factory reset in Marshmallow first.
Got to TWRP and did a full Wipe, Format Data and Adv. Wipe; select everything.
Yes, that clean a lot.
Use Odin and re-flash Marshmallow.
Everything is fine now, but it is only a few days that I did this, so it might still happen.
Could it be the version of SUperSU I took that has something? Or It is actually Marshmallow 6.0.1 with SuperSU ?
We might never know as the version change often.
Hope that will help someone.

Hi all,
Here it is again, my SD card is corrupted again by the OS… but I can access the card by my PC or another phone!
So it seams to be a combination of OS 6.0.1 (Canadian Rogers), how it is rooted (Twrp) and the SuperSU free v2.76.
I’ll wipe the phone again and re-install the original Os from the carrier, no Root & no SuperSU.
I’ll wait for a week and see.
Keep you posted.
Have a great one!

Hi All,
I rooted by phone this week also using the KingRoot method and also had the same issue. The below steps resolved it for myself and hopefully for you.
Since this is my first post I can't paste the URL to the site as the forum won't let me, so you'll have to google it, sorry about that.
Google - 32fat guiformat and look for the site 'GUI Format - Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd'
Download the program by clicking on the picture.
Run the program and select the drive letter of your memory card. Set the Allocation unit size to 32768 and untick Quick Format the press Start.
The format process takes maybe 45mins. But afterwards you'll have a full 64GB card formatted as FAT32 and will work in your phone again. Hope this helps you...
Enjoy your day.

If you can verify that more than one card works in a computer but not on the phone, and that formatting the card in the phone goes to 20 % very quickly, while afterwards going to 100 % but still tells you it´s corrupted, then indeed it´s simply the installation of Marshmellow that suddenly no longer wants to work with the file system of the card.
For me, the 32fat guiformat program told me that card was locked by another application, so I did it manually:
In windows elevated command prompt - after backing up eventual data on the card:
diskpart
list disk
(now find out which one is your sdcard, let´s call it x)
select disk x
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
format fs=fat32
When the format is finished, if the cards size is beyond 32 GB, you´ll get a message about that the disk is too big.
At this point I managed though to make a quick format in the before mentioned FAT32 GUI Format program, and bingo - the card is recognized in the phone again.
No need for the diskpart stuff of course, if you already had success with the GUI thingy, just telling in case anyone experiences the same problems as me.
It may be that there´s a way to tell diskpart to use a different cluster size to avoid the error at the end, and also there may be a trick to make the card available to fat32gui. without first going through the diskpart step In my case though, I had the error on two different computers, on which none of them were accessing the card from any applications, disk management, win explorer etc.
Finally I´d like to add that this is not a general error for all Marshmallow phones: My huawei p8 worked fine with the card, also on Marshmallow, before I had to reformat it to fat32.
It´s a pretty sucky bug: Never mind the hassle of formatting the card, as long it works. What bothers me is the 4 GB limit of files in fat32. It´s easy to have a movie nowadays which is larger than that.
PS: Some people recommend using an app called aparted to format the card on the phone, which now has another name. I tried that, but it kept on closing itself, so perhaps it´s not compatible with Marshmallow or the same plus LG G3.

same problem i tried everything aparted, wiping partition from twrp, cmd promt.
maybe busybox
I know this is an old thread but I've recently had this same situation but I found it was a result of installing busybox with Busybox Pro from Stericson. I used the "Smart Install" feature and selected to "Replace all symlinks" and "Clean Mode".
Basically, I believe by doing clean mode and replacing all symlinks, I had replaced needed System applets which somehow had hindered the OS from being able to correctly mount any External SD Card.
After using TWRP to factory reset (Wipe System, Data, Dalvik, Cache, Internal Storage) I Odin Flashed the latest stock firmware and then proceeded to root, etc. BTW, My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T on Net10 prepaid network.
Worked for me!!

Did you ever find out a resolution to this? I'm having the same problem -- card works in computer and other devices, but not tablet which was rooted (twrp) with supersu installed. In fact, no sdcard will work now in that tablet, formatted using gui formatter mentioned earlier or not.

Hey guys pls help me
After custom ROM installation of 7.1 my phone Gionee M2 shows sdcard corrupted and also my sim contacts disappeared!! Pls tell me how to fix it.
Hello
I have tested this method to enable adaptable storage and use external SDcard as internal memory from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460521
Note that this is native storage enabler, so no terminal or other hacks involved.
1. Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424965737
2. Flash it with TWRP
3. Go to Storage - SDcard
4. Format sdcard it will prompt you to use it as internal memory, select that, wait for process to finish, reboot.
Now you have external sdcard as internal memory, i have tested this on J500F on marshmallow 6.0.1 and it works, only problem is that Smart Manager reports 97% used memory out of 64GB , cleaning and other functions works like normal, but this is not a problem since i have deleted Smart Manager anyways and use SD Maid.

Yes, it is a bug, but I don't mind it.
Smart manager also showing a bug, but on my PC, it shows how many memory I used.
My phone is rooted. Also flashed that zip file via twrp, but no luck. Then just jnstalled Root Essentials, and the app is formated my card, reboot, and works. Also using a custom rom!!!!!
Just remove Smart Manager app and install SD Maid, smart manager will dissapear from menu anyways, also file manager display wrong value you can delete it too and install root explorer, then convert all to system apps and enjoy

If you cant see format as internal memory in storage, just click regular format it will then ask you what you want to do with memory card, simple as that
Hello, J500FN user here. Can someone confirm whether this is working on this model? Previously some users mentioned that Root Essentials actually did the trick. Which of the two actually works? The thread's zip, Root Essentials or a combination of both? Thanks.

The zip method should work on all models. I don't see why it wouldn't work on X model.
I've seen that Root Essentials is an app. I don't know how it works, but since some guy confirmed that is working on other model, it should work on J500FN too.
In any case, backup your stuff before.

Thank you for the reply. That's good to know. I would also like to know what will happen if I perform a factory reset. If I re-format the card after the factory reset, will it integrate again correctly with the device?

I don't know, but I did a search and found the answer about how to undo/remove adoptable storage: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/4km6ob/removing_adoptable_storage/ .
There is a topic/post with more information about adoptable storage: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/496sn3/lets_clear_up_the_confusion_regarding_storage_in/ .
I have readed a comment there saying that sdcard can't be used in laptop for example (through an adaptor I guess) if you choose adoptable storage. Original comment and answer:
Question:[–]JangoF76OnePlus 3 1 point 7 months ago
So, I use my external sd card mainly for storing music. If I adopt it as internal storage, can I still remove it from my phone and put it into my laptop to transfer music files?
Answer:[–]DarkFlames101Galaxy S4 Mini, CM13 3 points 7 months ago
Nope. It will only be usable on your phone.

I think that the phone will be slower when you use adoptable storage. There's a benchmark in the link with more informations.

Thank you very much. The links are rich in valuable information. I think all my questions are answered. I will eventually try this trick and report back here.
Finally I got it. :fingers-crossed: I wasn't able to use MM for the low storage issue.
Yesterday after viewing this thread I flashed MM rom and tried Root Essentials first, it was not working for me.
Then I flashed the zip, but there was no change in settings>storage. So, at first I thought no luck for me.
Then I noticed a notification of new sd card with two options: setup & unmount. I clicked setup and it gave me option to format as adoptable.
There is a bug that wrongly calculates total space and space used. But this issue does't bother me as I can see actual use on third party file managers.
Update:
You can't move apps to SD card when you 've formatted it as adoptable. So eventually your phone memory will be filled up as you install new apps. :crying: Only good thing is external data of apps (like received media files of whatsapp) will go to sd card.
I need something to move whole app to sd card.
Switching back to LL :crying::crying:
