[Q] Ext Sd card not found

Hi,
I'm currently using Task's AOKP Rom and after performing a TWRP nandroid backup to my external sd card.. My external sd card started having problems. When I rebooted back to AOKP it showed an sd card error in the notifications asking me to reformat.
I've used this 32gb sd card for 4 months, installing various AOSP and TW JB roms with no problems at all. Yes, I wipe and flash everything correctly. This seemed to just happen randomly. I plugged my phone into my computer and it only shows my internal sd card available. When I go to mnt/extsdcard in file explorer, it shows no files.
Does anyone know a way to get my ext sd card working again? I'd like to get access to my files.
Thanks,
Tom
Update: it must just be my ext sd card... I plugged it into an adapter and it's not reading on my computer. My 8 gb version works fine but my 32 doesn't read at all. Any suggestions or is my sd card fried?

System reboots when installing application with external SDXC

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! ,)

Micro-sd card usage

I purchased a 64gb Samsung evo microsd card for my tab S 10.5 16GB.
I am currently on the bliss ROM lollipop and cannot move any apps to the microsd card , I just get the error 'cannot move app'.
I am rooted and have tried all the apps like app2sd, etc. But none work for me, is it even possible?
Currently the format is ext4 unsure if this is the problem, when I received the card I got the same error although unsure if the card was ntfs or fat32.
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks
James
go to the playstore and download SDfix Kitkat. I had the same issue on my stock kitkat rom (rooted) and this fixed the permissions so that all apps can read/write the ext sd. There have also been reports that this app works on Lollipop based rom such as CM12. make sure the card is formatted for exFat, not NTFS
Magic, worked a treat cheers!

[LG D855][CM 13] Issue with sd card and what ROM should I choose?

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!

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.

MicroSD Card problem

Device: HTC One M8 Bell
Firmware: CM13 Nightly
Recovery: TWRP
Android Version: 6.0.1
Security Patch: April 2, 2016
So lets start it off like this, I had this 32gb lexar micro sd card that I have been using for quite some time. I decided it was time to get a new one so I went over to amazon and bought a well regarded 64gb patriot micro sd card to replace what I have in my phone. Once it arrived I unmounted the lexar micro sd and put in the patriot micro sd. I had this strange message pop up instead of it going oh hey lets set up your storage I got unsupported lexar sd card. I decided to tap on the notification and run the sd card set up stuff multiple times and just ended up getting errors that wouldn't allow it to be mounted. The phone is detecting the new patriot 64gb micro sd card as the old lexar 32gb micro sd card. I took it out and threw the card into my desktop system running windows and boom 60 gigabytes of micro sd flash detected everything came up fine it was partitioned and everything. So I decided maybe the file system is wrong and since I couldn't format in android storage settings anywhere until the card is set up I did it in the TWRP recovery where the card is fully detected and works fine. I can move files to and from it and everything without any issues but as soon as I go into android I get unsupported lexar sd card. After a while of having no luck at all I just decided to flat out wipe everything through recovery except the micro sd card and do a fresh android install and see if any system files in android were causing it. Here I am sitting in android with this brand new install with the message in notifications "Unsupported Lexar SD card" I have dug through system files tried wiping the cache for external storage. Nothing is working I have no idea. I really do not know what it causing this. Is there anything else I can try to see if I can fix this? Thanks.
Try formatting the SD card on your PC. Folks sometimes have better luck that way, than using the phone to format.
I have tried that already in multiple formats too, I ended up leaving it in fat32 since well that is the standard filesystem supported. I had no luck with anything I even reformatted it on my phone later with twrp because I thought the filesystem windows gave it was an issue. Nope it wasn't, I still have the same unsupported sdcard error. Something really weird though, I took out the new 64fb micro SD card that was having this issue and put in some ancient sandisk 2gb microsd that I have lying around, it worked fine. Android popped up with setup for the card. I still don't think something is wrong with the 64gb patriot microsd like twrp sees and and everything that it in it. Files can be moved around and so does windows just not android

"Fresh Android install" meaning what? Did you try a different CM nightly, or another ROM (like Sense)? Maybe just a bug in the particular CM nightly.

I reinstalled a newer version of CM 13 Nightly and before that I did an advanced wipe cleaning all partitions except for micro sd, usb-otg, sd-ext. I left the micro sd because it had the cm build on it. However yes I did also wipe the micro sd card card just earlier in the day, the problem still persisted once in android.
Have you tried a low level format ? and/or partition-table reset on your SD-card, it may fix it
