Good evening.
I tried two ROMS lately : genysis 3.5 and official CM 13. Both have the following issues : titanium backup does not detect my micro sd card and root explorer detects it but absolutely can not write on it. What can I do to solve these problems ?
Best regards.
Marshmallow is finicky with SD cards. What I would do is backup the entire card to a pc/laptop, then format using the phone. If you go to settings/storage, select your SD card, click the 3 dot menu, and you'll be given the option to format. For me, using Genisys 3.5, I had the option to format as either portable or internal. I chose internal, and haven't had any problems with apps writing to it, including TiBackup.
When i touch the format button, my phone does not give me the option of formatting as internal storage. Is there another method to do that ?
Ah I forgot to tell about another issue I have. Everytime I plug my OTG USB key on my phone, I get an error message saying that the storage is corrupted and that I have to format it but when I do root explorer can not read it. This is very strange because it works pefectly with my samsung galaxy note 3. Any idea how to solve that problem ?
Are you using a good quality/known brand SD card? If the card is too slow the option to format as internal may not be present from what I understand. I'm using a SanDisk Extreme U3 card. Supposedly faster than class 10.
If you're having these problems with CM13 I can't offer much assistance. I have CM13 loaded on my LGG2 and USB-OTG doesn't work at all. If your phone is saying the card is corrupted try formatting in your computer. If that doesn't help, get yourself a new/good quality card.
I'm using a lexar 300x. Is it too slow to format it as internal storage ?
That being said, I solved 2 of my 3 issues by reinstalling genisys 3.5 but not the theme 3.2 and now root explorer can read my otg usb key and write on my sd card.
Titanium backup still can not detect my sd card but it's no big deal because I use another software to backup my apps on my sd card.
Thanks for your participation anyway.

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 am running CIVZ v3.5 ROM (4.2.2) with an external Toshiba 64GB SDXC card (exFAT format).
Every time I tried to update an app with Play Store, the system will reboot. If I install the apk instead, it will say insufficient memory. However, once I remove the external SDXC card, everything installs normally.
Is there anybody with a similar problem? Any suggestions to use the external SDXC card normally with Note 8.0? I tried formatting the card to FAT32, but it always say the card is corrupt and asks me to format (back to exFAT).
Thanks.
what if you unmount the card instead of removing it, before installing.
I am running a 64 Gig sdxc in exfat and do not have such issues.
however, Do you have a lot of apps moved: app > sd card ?
On One of my Older samsung devices similar used to happen when you moved more than a certain number of apps to sd card.
Solution was to slowly move few apps back to local memory until the problem went away. May or may not work for you though.
I don't have any apps moved to the external sd card. Sometimes the SD card would show up as 0GB under "storage."
I have checked for errors, but can't find any. Used h2testw and the card is indeed 64GB.
Hello, fellows! Please be so kind to inform whether there is an option for note 8 to switch the data between internal memory & sd-ext. Similar to this issue, but for note 8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391
Found some manuals, but they all ask to flash the device with new rom. I would prefer to create sd-ext card via PC. Is it possible?
Any ways to use sd card as the apps storage place are of great demand!
Thank you all in advance! ,)

Hi, I recently upgraded to CM13 (Marshmallow) to have a look at the new features. One of those was the new SD card management. I decided to format my sd card and make it part of the internal memory but something went wrong and i ended up with a 15mb sd card (instead of it's original 16GB) that I can't reformat in any way. I downgraded back to lollipop hoping I could format the SD there and recover my lost memory space but I can't manage to do it. I tried with many root apps on play store for that purpouse but none of them worked. I think it's maybe because marshmallow encripts the sd card before formatting it but I dont know how to remove that encription.
Anyone has any idea of what can I do to solve this? Thanks.
Make a format on PC. You'll lost your data whatever, but I think it may help ? but the best way for you is to flash another rom. I think.
You have to recreate the partitions on your SD. If you have a USB adapter, you can just do it in your PC (via right click on Computer, Manage and Disk Management or fdisk in linux). If you don't have a USB adapter, you can try to recreate via TWRP (I never tested this).
Delete all partitions and create just one VFAT/NTFS/exFAT
The problem is that I dont have a usb adapter or card reader and if i plug it via phone it doesnt detect it as mass storage so i can't format from there.
Go ahead and buy a USB Card Reader they are super cheap and handy.
Hi everyone!
Today I upgraded from CM 12.1. something to CM 13 and got a kinda weird bug, where google play services kept crashing, so i reflashed the gapps, and got another bug where the starting presentation program (don't remeber the exact name of the program, "guided assistance" or something, the one you get at the beggining explaining how to set up your device) kept crashing, making it impossible for me to continue using the device. Decided to restore factory settings (clicking between a crash and another xD) and everything works fine, except the fact that I can't use my sd card any suggestions? Any other info needed?
Is there a marshmallow rom with a working sd card?
P.s. I just read that is a issue that the developers are aware of, but i can't find anyone complaining about this error (the sd card not working) in the xda CM13 thread
Thanks to all!
MicroSD card support in CM13 ROMs is borked - the only thing you can do is wait it out!

Yeah but I want Android 6 AND MicroSD xD Any way to do so?
Im on the latest CM nightly and I have no issue with my 64GB sd card. I used the built in format option and I seem to be fine

Does the current CM nightly that you're using support exFAT out of the box? The reason for me asking this is because on the 20151207 nightly, it was still complaining that the 'SD card is corrupted'.
FAT32 support for SD cards is fine on portable storage mode but when formatted as 'internal', people are still reporting problems as well.
I got that message as well but when I formatted I got my full sd card

If that is the case, then what file system is your microSD card using currently?
From what I can tell exFAT. My transfer speed was much faster then when I had to use FAT32. Is there an app that can tell me what format my SD card is?

Soorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the built-in format? Can I use an SDXC card from another Android device (Samsung Tab S) or this a special format option found only in CM-13/Marshmallow devices?

When you put a SD card in the phone on 6.0 it will ask if you want to format it. With 6.0 you can use it as portable storage or internal memory for more room for apps and such. I use portable storage but as of the last nightly I didnt have to format my SD card. CM fixed exFAT support in their latest builds.

Hey can you tell me your SD model? And filesystem? Just plug in your pc and see in the properties settings. Can you tell me your CM build?
Little update, I flashed Cloudy 2.5 and Gabriel kernel, thanks all
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard on your computer
3. Inset Sd card into PC with and adapter and/or card reader (NOT WITH PHONE)
4. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat) Be careful to only select the SD card
5. Place SD card into phone
6. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
7. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
8. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
there was a fstab issue with external sdcards, the fix has been merge already though.

unfortunatelly this metod does not solve this problem on marshmallow stock
I have a freshly formatted 32 gb micro SD card (fat32) that I put in my Freshly rooted phone using Bliss Pop Rom. When I boot up my phone, go to storage and mount the micro SD, it automatically says that it now has 15bgb on it. Using ES file explorer I examine the contents of the card and there is nothing on it but yet it reads as 15gb left. What's worse is that when I try to copy or move a file to it, a message saying not enough space please free up space to proceed. I Googled the crap out of this issue. No luck. Please help. I use a lot of storage and the SD card is important to me.
Try on stock rom. If it works then stay on stock. Can't stress this enough. CM is to play around with but not as a daily driver. CM is garbage

Try installing and running SDFix from Google Play Store. Make sure you have a nandroid backup before you do >anything< to your device.

Just to follow up. . I formatted the card on a PC using a an SD card adapter. After that I had the problem. I researched it and apparently that can mess up, corrupt micro SD cards. So I popped the same micro SD card in my Galaxy s5 and formatted it and the tried it in my LG G3 and it mounted and now works great.
Your microSD card isn't formatted properly

SD cards and microSD cards should not be formatted by the Windows, Apple, or other default program. If you're running Windows, download and install SDFormatter. SD cards have special hidden files that are deleted by the Windows regular formatter. SDFormatter handles the removable media properly.
If you are going to use the SD or mSD card in a particular device, you should >always< format the card in that device before using it.
Yes, what the previous poster said... I wish you could have asked before you did it. Windows is bad at formatting for anything other than NTFS and so is Mac. If you have to format at all, use TWRP. But me personally I recommend to never ever format. I have always managed to turn them into RAW due to multiple formatting because like ivanabq said, Windows just deleted those files. These files are used by Android to read where everything is and if they are gone, it doesn't know how to read the card anymore. Good luck. Hope you get the space back.
Also could you tell us the brand of your microSD? Sometimes the knockoff brands will advertise more space and once you format it, it reveals that it is far less. You might be able to get a full refund knockoff or not.
