64gb micro SD problems

I'm running Jasminerom 4.0 and I cannot get 64gb micro sd cards to work properly on my VS985. If I format via settings, it defaults to exfat. Performance suffers and I seem to get random corruption of files. I've tried formatting to fat32 via TWRP and via Windows. Performance is better for a bit, but in time the phone starts not writing to the card for some reason. I've tried 2 different cards, Samsung evo and SanDisk ultra. I'm currently using a 32gb SanDisk ultra which works as it should.
Any others have this problem with 64gb cards?

Yes i have this problem too. I somehow semi-repaired files corruption by formating the 64GB card with Easues partition manager. Format it with this program as FAT32 and see if it helps.

Thanks I'll try that and let you know how I make out.
Using a 32gb card is an ok workaround but this problem really bugs me. I'm hoping the lollipop update might fix this issue. We'll see...

Like mentioned above, formatting your card to 2x fat32 partitions should fix it. The problem is with exFAT. I doesn't see it as a removable memory and ends up getting corrupted, sometimes, a reboot will fix it but after a while, it needs a fresh format.
I'm thinking the problem is with the kernel as stock didn't give me issues, could be wrong though. I know CM broke it last week so ROM that are base off it would have it broken as well but could be fixed by now.

I used Easeus to format to fat32. The card worked great this weekend.
This morning I checked for some files and several entire directories had been deleted. Looks like I'm having the same issues as before, and I really don't know what is triggering it. I'll stick with my 32gb card for now.

has anyone found a solution for this I've bought several different top of the line cards, anything over 32gb stuff gets corrupt.
appreciate any help, thanks in advance

CM13 exFat support

I just flashed the latest CM nightly for MM and when I put my SD card in the phone it says its corrupt. I do the reset with the phone to wipe it and after its done I only have 15MB instead of 64GB. Is there a manual fix for this or is it something I just have to wait for CM to do? I have the G3 D852 with latest TWRP.

It looks like you're going to have to wait for a long while to see exFAT get fixed, and yes, I am in the same boat as you are so I literally feel your pain, but that said, when the OS asks me to format the Samsung 64GB EVO microSD card, it gets formatted to FAT32, which is absolutely useless for large files that are more than 4GB, and I have a LOT of FAT32-UNFRIENDLY files that I need on my microSD card, so Android Marshmallow is officially off the cards for me until that problem is fixed.

I have the same problem.
When I format to swapable sd card, I end up in 16MB.
When I format it to internal storage, the formatting stucks at 20% and after a few minutes I get a toast message with "java.util.concurrent.timeoutexception blah blah" and I have to reformat the card on my computer.
Looks like moving on from 5.1 to 6 was one of my biggest mistakes since I have a smartphone.
//Edit
I see there is already a thread about this. Cheers!

Exact same boat as everyone here. 64gb card shows as 15mb. If I format it as internal storage, I get the timeout exception. Didn't even realize I was upgrading to cm13 when I hit the update through OTA. It's came in the same list as cm12.1 nightlies. Of course since I didn't realize I booted it up without flashing gapps for 6.0 and was stuck the entire day trying to wipe clean, flash and restore backups from titanium. Android wear doesn't function properly, BT pairings get deleted on every reboot, SD card is screwed, the list goes on. Such a silly way to include it through OTA update without any warning.

Good news folks!
For those users who have flashed finnq's CM13 nightlies (20151219 onwards), you can now use exFAT-formatted microSD cards - all you need to do is flash the Nebula Kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/kernel-nebulakernel-rev6-5-build20150715-t3161768

All this because I wanted to free up space to install Grim Fandango...
I backed up my Samsung 64 gb card on my laptop and then reformatted my card as internal so I could use AppMgr III to move apps over. Now, I'm stuck with my SD card saying "checking...", and it doesn't recognize the card on my laptop.
Any ideas?

Fixes coming....
There are proposed changes currently sitting in code review at CyanogenMod. The changes have not yet been approved or merged. Here is a ROM image for LG G3 d850 that includes the proposed changes to fix the exFAT problem as well as the GPS problem. They work for me. YMMV. Use at your own risk!

Help - not reading micro sd card

I have a PNY a 64gb class 10 had this card since the phone came out,
I noticed that you could update to marshmallow by LG Bridge, so i did so, everything went smooth, however i noticed everything used to be saved on my sd card then was saved to my phone and its not reading my sd card at all.
Ive formatted the sd card through my phone by storage-sd card-settings-format- while im doing this at 20% it will say sd card is ejected but then proceeds and says its been formatted correctly.
However the phone will read the sd card only in SETTINGS-STORAGE, it will read the files on the sd card, how ever if i try and play music/movies it will not read it through my apps like mx player/poweramp.
Apps like app manger 3 - which i use to transfer apps to sd card will not read my sd card at all.
Ive tried and formatted the sd card through my phone only around 5 times and still the same problem.
any help

i dont have marshmallow on my g4 yet .....but as you describe it , it sounds like premission problem...
so have you tried to play with the presmission new thing at marshmallow or tried factory reset after formating the sd?

i would check the permission thing just to make sure.. here is a how guide for that
i dont know what you can do more than that,you could maybe try to check another microsd to check if it didnt ruined the file system on it or(or simply if the sd you have is broken) or to if it is really a OS issue...
but as it seems for now a lot of people having problem with the sd part of marshmallow...

ive tried to do permissions but it wont allow to change to sd card,
Ive reloaded phone and before it comes onto my home screen says mount my sd card, ive gone into storage - sd card- mount, restarted phone but again the same issue.
When im in camera mode the phone allows me to select where my photos will be saved (onto sd card), i can go into settings_sd card and read everything onto sd card, however its just moving apps onto sd card it will not allow.
Ive read online saying marshmallow may only allow apps to be saved on internal memory now due to previous versions off OS- was a problem with viruses being attached on apps which were saved onto sd card- was the main problem. Could it be this?, marshmallow doesn't allow this.

Use TWRP to format, that was the only solution to get my 128 GB sd card working after update again. The integrated format function always tell me success while notification said card damaged. After formatting with TWRP everything worked again
Edit: Are you sure you flashed correct patched kernel as this can disable vfat reading? Look here in forums, there is a thread about different version names for different countries (e.g. German V20a is polish version V20b)

CM13 - Corrupted SD Card [FALSE NOTiFiCATiON] [SOLVED]

hoi board
i have made a clean install of the latest CM13 nightly to my serranoltexx
all went fine exept CM13 claims my sd card is corrupted:
Corrupted SD Card
SD Card is corrupt. Touch to fix it.
- i can use the sd card in TWRP
- i can use the sd card in CM11
- i can use the sd card in CM12.1
- i can use the sd card in my PC
no errors there.
it is a 32GB microSDHC CLASS10 card formatted with exFAT
so my question is: how can i tell the CM13 that the card is okay and
let the rom use it as usual?
some more info to help getting qualified answers:
- formatting the card IS NOT AN OPTION!
- I DO NOT WANT TO ADOPT THE CARD!!!
more more information:
- is it correct that MM/CM13 only supports fat32 or vfat on external storage?
EDiT: sd card is working as usual for me since 2016-01-02 nightly!

Not necessarily. What filesystem do you have on it? It could be that I need to add selinux policies for nonstandard filesystems. MM is a ***** now regarding security, so some tweaking might be required.

more additional infos

Same issue with my jflexx samsung galaxy s4 international.
I had to roll back to cm12.1 as a result.

well...
i am quite curious.
browsed the git some seconds ago and i have the feeling
there is a discussion if VOLD or FUSE handles the exfat volumes
on external sd cards and should it be on vendor (CM13) or
device (android_device_samsung_msm8930-common) level.
also i think that it is not so easy to get something like that
realized at vendor (CM13) level, what seems to be preferred...:fingers-crossed:
i stay curious though :silly:

issue solved ...
i flashed the 2016-01-02 nightly an sd card is working as usual. :silly:

I've never been able to get my 64GB SDXC card to merge. When I do try, it hangs and get some sort of error then I have to use a program on PC to be able to identify my card and reformat it. Tried every system format you can think of...... I'm going mad with this lol

I have the same false notification but on AOSP 6.0, Can anyone tell me what I must change.

Hi, I am having the same issue reported above with the latest nightly of cyanogenMod 13. Are you able to explain how to solve the issue.
Thanks

I've had this issue tons on CM13 but never found a solution. Often a reboot fixes it. The mSD always works fine in a PC or from TWRP but CM just says it's corrupted.
Tried reformatting before, usually fixes the issue temporarily. Seems to trigger again eventually, possibly with a new build - so it could be TWRP or update related. Usually happens on boot, sometimes spontaneously. Might see if I can get a catlog but given how random it is, might be tough.
Pretty certain this is an issue with CM. Not had this on stock, had it with two different devices both on CM. Pretty sure its happened with multiple mSDs. Could be exFAT related?

What about supporting f2fs too? I get tons of messages in CM13 regarding a corrupted sdcard, but the card is regularly mounted by a userinit.sh script and is working ok. I also notice a drop in performance, with some short freezes, just before the system display one message for each f2fs partition on external sdcard.

Thanks for your information. I like others have this issue on with 128 GB exFAT formatted card (using SDFormatter tool). Everything works fine (TRWP, and Windows 7 PC) without issue over multiple boots to and from my phone except that CM is reporting (incorrectly) that my SDXC card is corrupted. Formatting inside of CM13 does NOT solve the problem and actually never completes - CM hangs at 20% completed for my card and never moves forward - so it's hung - except that it doesn't do a Force Close. Every single reboot that I've tried with CM 13 or CM 13 based ROMs (like RR) respond with the same incorrect error message. No problems with CM12 based ROMs. Have also tried the XDA FixExtSD thread and that doesn't help at all either - after correctly saving (on my PC) and using TWRP to install the ZIP file (which TWRP sees fine) - still reboot system in CM with same error - it doesn't go away for me. To me this is a bug in CM13. I'm giving up on CM13 based ROMs (for now) and going back to CM12 where I can using my SD card as an external storage medium.

well...
almost a year later i can resume: it does not get better at all!
i am on 4.4.4 [2016-02] and have to admit, that neither CM12.x nor CM13
can offer the same reliability as CM11.
sadly.

I formatted the card to EXT4 and it's improved things massively. No more hanging/crawling transfers and no more surprise unmounts - just really quick bug-free transfers between the internal and external. Been using for a couple of weeks now.
This has led me to one conclusion: exFAT support in CM is horrible. It should either be fixed or dropped entirely.
PS. Mine is also 128GB. I was toying with sending the card back until I switched over to EXT4.

Excellent tip. I will try EXT4 then. Possible issue with Win7 exchange, but I'll try Paragon's ExtFS for that. I have MiniTool Partition Wizard for the EXT4 partitioning. For data on my 128GB SDXC card, I have large collection of music flac and wav files and some other misc jpg photos, and of course I want to store ROMs and TWRP backups etc on the same card. I will report my findings later in a couple of days. I'm hoping that it works for me too, because I really would like CM13 or ROM based on CM13 (like latest RR). I'm trying it on my NOS (New Old Stock) LG G3 - which is new for me. Thanks again -

Interesting if you boot into trwp can that see your sd card? So under storage the sd card isn't visible at all? Have you tried formatting it?

Yes, I can see it fine under TWRP. I thought maybe it couldn't recognize exFAT, so I formatted it to EXT4. But it's still not showing up at all.

That is weird, do you have another android peripheral that you could prospectively format the card in and try? Alternatively you could wipe and reinstall. I blew away the android internal storage and installed from my SD, just about everything works except the sd storage option. That's an issue storage and app wise so I may go back to marshmallow lineageos if I can't sort it.
Failing that back to stock lollipop should that fail.

I don't have another android device, but I do have a linux machine, (actually, I only run Linux in my home), and I can read and write the card no problem in my desktop machine. I haven't tried it on my HTPC/Plex server yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. On stock Lollipop, I can see the card, but it's read only. Oh, I should have been clearer. I can see the card on the tablet, but it doesn't display anything. It says "contents not found", and I can't enable writing to it for Root Explorer.

That is weird you got me stumped, other than a rebuild I got nothing. Try the card in a mate's phone if possible better than wiping the unit first.
If that doesn't work I got nothing. Truth be said I'm no expert, I try my best.

Hi all
I updated the Lineageos ROM the AOSP I had no hardware issues or software issues on the OS. However please note that if you use this ROM for some reason you will lose the TWRP Recovery.
I installed the AOSP ROM 7.1.1 first, didn't reboot and then installed the Gapps file, upon reboot it stayed on the splashed screen, so I then booted into the standard recovery and wiped/factory reset the unit, all good since and it is running smoothly, just wanted you to let you know that the Lineage ROM isn't the only option.
I also had the options for the SD card and UI System tweak was also there, good luck. If anyone wants assistance I am happy to assist.

I have also a problem with the SD card. I have the newest build and the SD card is seen in the settings and also in file manager can read/write, but other apps somehow don't see it, I cannot set the camera to save photo to external storage, also in Google play music I cannot choose to store music to external card, the options are not there. On my Galaxy S5 also with Lineage it works perfectly. Secondly, in the settings I can only format the SD card as portable, not as internal, but that would not bother me if the apps would see the card and I could use it as storage.

Solution for sd card write issue?
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same devices and exactly the same problems.

I think I found a solution your problem. Well, it worked for me.
Firstly I backed up my SDCARD
Then went to Settings, Storage Settings tabbed on SD card and tab on options [three dotted things].
Formatted my sd card as internal, when I went back to my applications there was an option to move them to external.
[WARNING]One problem is that if you format it as internal it will not show as different storage systems on your pc WILL SHOW AS SHARED STORAGE!!!!
******** I Had So Many Issues I Would Not Recommend It *********
Hope that helps you

Thanks for the suggestion - but didn't work.
When I click the three-dotted-things only option I see is (under Storage settings) is "Format". I format the card - but still cannot move apps to it or set as camera location.
