Universal re-partitioned your sd card from 4GB to 2GB? read this. - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I've come across a little SD recovery app for 4GB cards that were partitioned for 2GB.
This is a transcend app, and they state its only for their X150 SD card, but i don't think there should be a problem recovering other cards.
I don't think there's any difference from other SDs.
(I haven't tried this cause i dont have a 4GB card, i just wanted to bring this to your attention...)
Try it out and report the results..

Wiazard doesnt read my newb 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card :(

hi
i just bought a new 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card
with mini sd adapter.
but the wizard doesnt read the card
(fat32 formated)
if i try the card in a cardreader its working ,
my old 512mb mini sd card working is working in my wizard..
any solution?
XTRANGE...
Try to use a ROM that contains the app format storage and try to formatt... but i think it may recognize it first... nothing to lose if try... or reformatt it on a XP built in with card reader.
Panasonic makes a free sd formatting software that it claims to strictly adhere to the sd standard:

You could give it a shot, don't see how it could hurt

micro sd

I've read that flashing with sd card it should be 2gb or smaller.
Would it be ok if I used a 4gb card and partitioned it in half so there were 2x2gb partitions?
4Gb SD card is SDHC compliant. Maybe update not work with old firmware on your mobile device. It`s safer to use old SD card less then 2Gb, because then is SD compliant (not SDHC).
SDHC cards require an SDHC capable device firmware.
Read this for info...

When it says 2Gb or less it MEANS 2Gb or less.... No exceptions....

[Q] how is the sd card compatibility in the dock?

hi all
i inserted a 4gb sd card into the dock slot. it was taken straight out of a Canon Powershot S5IS...and it didn't work
havent tried other sd cards
havent checked what format the card is in
i did try rebooting the transformer
did try undocking and then redocking
so hows sd card compatibility? what are your experiences?
i think it only reads it in FAT format.
It reads FAT32 from the miniSD port.
The SD Card Reader on the right side will read FAT and FAT32 formats but it wont read NTFS (for now).
Try putting your SD Card into your pc (if you can), then right click on it and select properties to see how its been formatted.
Mark.

The dock's SD card reader will and does read NTFS. It has since day one on stock or custom kernels............. Guess what it reads SDXC Sd cards too..........

@OP: I know you know but just in case. If/when you format, you will lose everything on the card.
well thank you guys. seems im the only one with sd card issues lol
im just going to have to try changing formats and try formatting..
i just presumed that a sd card pulled out of an older digicam would be in fat32 haha

I hope it works for you. I did test with 3 cards, two old Sandisk (1GB & 2GB) and a new Sandisk 64GB SDXC. They all worked with FAT32 and NTFS and on stock and custom kernels, but I've seen some people having some problems with certain cards and classes of cards. Please post your findings. Good Luck
I got the following cards:
Transcend Secure Digital 64GB SDXC SDXC, SD 3.0, Class 10
Lexar MicroSDHC Card 32GB w/USB reader Class 10, High speed SDHC card with USB reader
The dock reads the SD card formated to NTFS fine (have not tryed to format it to another filesystem)
But the MicroSD card in the tablett itselfe only reads FAT32, and not exFAT or NTFS.
But there are several of You that got tablets that read Your MicroCD cards that are formated to NTFS?

Allow me:
http://www.tuxera.com/partners/operating-systems/ (NTFS, exFAT and HFS+)
and
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/TF101_Full_0418d.pdf (page 45 "Tuxera software provides support for NTFS format.")
Considering it actually allowed me to read an HFS+ usb stick....
So, unless there is some weird implementation, it should read those file systems also from the SD card reader.
ext3,ext4 is also supported.
I just tried NTFS on the MicroSD and it was a no go for me. I also tried ext3,ext4 (I'm somewhat new linux ) and that didn't work for me either. That could be me lol. So only FAT32 work for me on the MicroSD
On the SDcard. I could only get FAT32 and NTFS to work.
I tried this with stock .9 (3.0.1), 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.7 (3.1). Then with Prime 1.4 (3.1).
The cards I tried:
MicroSD: 3 - Sandisk 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. I think the classes are 4, 4 and 2
SDcards: 3 - Sandisk 1GB, 2GB, and 64GB SDXC
I'm not saying the other filing systems don't work. I'm just posting what i tried.

Good to read that it's not only me that got problems with the MicroSD card not being willing to work witht he NFTS filesystem.
I recon this is something that Asus can fix with an firmwareupdate?
Anyone tried with USB sticks and external harddrives on NTFS file system?
I gues it should not be any dirrefence between A USB stick and an external HD
wow..
im going to give my problem sd card another go this weekend
well the first thing i plugged in was actually my external hdd. this was just a cheap enclosure with fake "VAIO" lettering on it. it relies on a erm...driver(?) called "USB to IDE Bridge" whenever it's plugged into Windows.
worked flawlessly
interesting...
my Sandisk 4gb SDHC simply refuses to work in NTFS
im guessing this is a problem between different card manufacturer and file system combo
but i can't prove it as i don't have too many sd cards lying around.
well at least i'm glad my sd card works now. i shoved it back into the camera formatted as FAT and the cam can use it just fine.
I'm pretty sure I did copy some files over to the MicroSD card when I hade formated it to NTFS before I tryed it on the TF
Not sure now tho so I will do a new test.
But if I am correct it got nothing to do with the card and the filesystem, rather with the TF and filesystems on different card-slots wich I find strange that they let it read one filesystem in one place and not in another place on the tablett.

[Q] problem with sd card !!

hey got a 16gb class6 card and it dont work ?
is it because class6 because my old 8gb class4 working perfect..
No mine and lots of others use 16bg x6 sd cards.
Try putting it into a card reader deleting all the partitions and reformating use something like EASEUS free edition don't forget its a primary partition of fat 32

SD card problems

Hello I have a Bolt and I am having problems with my SD card. I insert it and the phone recognizes it and mounts it as portable storage. I then format the card as internal storage which seems to work ok. Then I attempt to migrate data and the phone hangs up at 0% and never appears to actually migrate data.
I do not think the problem is the SD card, as I insert it into another phone and it works fine as internal storage. I have tried multiple cards in my Bolt and have the same issue. This is the card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU3Q6F2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
any help would be appreciated.
You card may not be good enough to format as internal try putting it in and formatting as external I believe it has encryption I had to format card with phone then add my files

Considering this is a UHS-I Card, You shouldn't have any problems.
One thing I will recommend is formatting it twice. Format as internal then reformat as portable, reboot, and reformat as internal and then try migrating your data. That usually did the trick for me. I had issues with these SanDisk Cards though so be careful. I've had two of them die on me already. I RMA'd those and I am awaiting a exchange but I went and got a Samsung SD card as a replacement and haven't had any issues since. For some reason, I've always had to format all my cards twice for adoptable storage to properly work, regardless of device.
Edit: UHS-3. Those Speeds tho ?

I had the same problem until I bought a class 10 SD card now I formated it as internal storage no problem so it went from 32 gig online storage to 64 gigs with the 32 gig expansion using sd card.
