Heys guys
Has anyone had any joy getting their SD Card to format for using as internal space on a Rooted device?
I am trying to get this to work on a rooted samsung galaxy tab A used a samsung 256gb card but just keeps rebooting.
Any help?
Thanks

So I rooted my AT&T GS3 and put CWM on it. Everything seemed to be going well until I tried booting into Cyanogenmod and the phone said my SD Card was damaged. I moved the SD Card to another phone and it said it was fine. I reinserted the SD Card into the GS3 and booted into recover and attempted to mount the SD Card and it said there was a problem. I'm pretty confused as to what's going on here. I was using a 64 gig SD Card but it did the same thing with others. Anyone care to help?

Recently my Note 2 keeps getting errors saving camera photos onto the external
SD card.. Have to save onto internal SD card instead.. And when I later try to move the photos from the internal SD card to the external SD card, the photo gets corrupted and doesn't display at all. Anyone with this issue too..?
Not sure if this is an issue with my SD card or the firmware..? Didn't recall having this issue on the earlier firmwares.

This is the last resort I'll take.. Haha thanks for your input!
Back up all the data via a card reader or put the card in another phone.

Is it a brand new memory card or old one.. which class?
If old then may be it is corrupted
OK now my SD card is totally not being detected at all.
I tried putting my SD card into another phone and its not being detected as well. Could be a spoilt card. Its a class 4 8gb Kingston card. Could it be spoilt due to old age..?

If it doesn't contain any useful stuff then simply format it
And try using a memory card reader n see wat happens :fingers-crossed:
I'm currently using a Galaxy Note 2. And I'm having issues with my microSD card. Just 2 questions:
1) Is it true that the latest Galaxy phones spoils microSD cards easily?
2) I had previously used mattiadj's memory swap mod to swap external memory to internal memory to put apps to sd. But unfortunately, my 32GB microSD card fried. Now that I've got a new one, when I installed the mod again, my storage details shows both internal and external as 32GB. And files from my phone memory can't be read at all.
Can anyone kindly help me more on the 2nd question? Really depressed to lose all photos and data and now can't figure out how to get that extra memory space. Many thanks!

If this is the mod you used it says you can access the internal memory through astro it es file manager.
Good luck

I have tried to use a samsung 64GB micro sd card in my galaxy s4, but everytime i put music on the sd it says the sd is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I contacted T Mobile and they told me that their version of the galaxy s4 would only take sd cards up to 32GB. I have read some other treads on this site to try and get around this, like the exfat thing of fat32, both of which failed. I have recently rooted my phone, successfully, and i was wondering if anybody could help me get past this 32GB sd card only bs. Now that I have rooted my phone is there any option i can take to successfully have my 64GB sd work in my galaxy s4. If you need more information please let me know. I would like to solve this problem as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to try and help me.
Find a kernel that's exFAT compatible our reformat to FAT32. The factory firmware s should be compatible iirc.
Tmobile is wrong about only accepting 32GB sd card.

I have tried both ways exFat and Fat32. I have over 32GB on the sd card, but once i put the sd in my phone the phone tells me the the sd is damaged. I am new to all this ROM, Kernel, etc... stuff. Where could I find a kernel that supports exFat or FAT32 and how would I install this on my phone without messing it up?
I think they all support FAT32, stock firmware should support exFAT. You might just have a bad card.

Have you tried a different 64gb card? I have no problem on stock rom using a 64gb card I got on amazon.
Like what he said. I've been on Stock for a month before switching to custom ROMs but within that month I've got no problems using my 64GB card. Try another card, might be your card is damaged in the first place...
I have tried 3 different cards. I get the same message with each card.
Did u try reformatting while the card is in the device? Or thru cwm?

I have tried reformatting while card was in the device. I am not sure how to go about formatting through cwm.
I also have a 64gb sd card. Works great.

That is awesome. I wish I could figure out how to get mine to work. What kind of sd do you use? What was your formatting method?

When I try to format through clockwork I select mounts and storage, format external sd and then i get the message....."formatting external sd and then underneath it says error mounting external sd...skipping format. Any thoughts???
Maybe try reinstalling the Rom? Factory reset?

I honestly think, if you've really tried 3 different sd cards, that you could have a bad MicroSD slot. You might go into T-Mobile and ask them if you can try your card in one of their S4's. If your card works fine in a different phone, then, if your phone is a recent purchase, exchange it, if it's relatively new, get a warranty replacement.
I formatted my 64gb card on my pc using an adapter & have had zero issues. Currently running Infamous v8.0.

Format to Fat32. I recommend creating a Live USB of Ubuntu and doing it through gparted.

Mine works fine
I have a sandisk ultra 64 in mine formatted out of the box for exfat and it works just fine. You should not be having those issues.

What kernel are you using?
Could be a bummed sdcard. I had the same issue with a knockoff. Now I have a 64g exfat with no issues.

OK so I got a new phone and factory Data reset my LG Nitro hd while it was on jellybam kitkat rom and when i finished the setup, unmounted my external sd card from settings app and took the external sd card out and put it in my new phone. Problem is that for some reason my external sd card shows up in the LG Nitro HD as sdcard0 which I think is suppose to be the internal sd card so when I remove it from the phone it says removed sd card please insert new sd card and apps keep fc and it won't let me download anything in any app other than the play store. When I keep my external sd card in the phone it works properly no fcs but it's not suppose to show up as internal sd card storage. The phone seem like it's missing the internal sd card partition. When the sd card is inserted into my new phone it shows up as external sd card and sdcard0 is the internal sd card which I think is correct. The LG Nitro hd is using Philz touch recovery but I don't know if that has anything to do with the sd card showing up as internal sd card. Can someone help me find a solution to this problem? I was thinking about going all the way back to stock with the locked bootloader using the LG software tool, but before that I wanted to know if there's any solution to this issue.

what rom u r using?
I was using the cyanfox nightly from 2-18 and a few minutes ago I flashed pacman rom on Android 4.3 and when I looked in settings at partition info it showed the amount of space on my external sd card under internal sd card and said external sd card unavailable

Also I just looked at the storage and noticed internal storage: total space-2.15gb, available-1.72, apps-449mb, and cached data-17.31mb. I thought that this phones available space was around 800mb not a whole gb + unless it just depends on the rom...
