I have an 8gb class 4 microsd card by Kingston. I partitioned it to have two ext2 partitions with paragon partition manager 9. now i can only access it by putting it in my phone, but when i put it in the adapter my comp cant read it. it will read other cars just not this one. how do i fix this?
You need to make sure the fat32 partion is first. I had that problem till I made sure it was part 1

I got a new class 6 8GB sd card, and I want to copy over all the stuff from my old 4GB card ... fat32, ext, and linux-swap.
What's the easiest way to do this? (I'm on a Mac, and I have a USB sd card reader.)
Can I avoid having to re-install all the apps in the apps2sd partition?
(I assume I'll have to manually partition the new card.)
Thanks!

Well, your should delete all ext2/ext3/ext4 and swap partition in your sd card, there partitions are used in Linux, Windows can't recognize them.
thks antonytyler, when i wanna wipe sd:ext partition stated Error : Run 'wipe ext' via console! i need to wipe by using console or any other way.pls help me.thks.
I'm going to assume you have amon_ra's recovery installed on your g1. Put the old memory card in the phone and reboot to recovery. Go to the partition sdcard menu, then go to the partition sd setting and set both linux swap and ext2 to 0. That will give you back all your missing space.
Also, make sure that the new memory card is class 6 I bought a new Samsung 8GB class 6 with a microsd card reader and a sdcard adapter for $23 shipped to my house from amazon.com. It got to my house last week, and it got here 3 days after i ordered it.
It can do in Windows

I remember that Disk Management in Windows can delete your sd card's ext2/ext3/ext4 partition, you should right click "My computer", select "manage", you will find "disk manage", click the item, you will see the partitions on your sd card, then delete them.
PS: back up your data of your FAT32 partition!
I just bought 32GB sandisk sd and I tried every known way to create ext partition but every time I got the same, ıt creates an "OTHER" partition.
Please donot suggest these options.
UBUNTU 10.10 (I have dual boot on PC)
Mni Partition tool
Easeus Partition tool
CMW
I guess it is hardware (SD CARD) problem. do you know any sollition
Also I searched in forum, there is no same problem :S
am I only one who has THE problem??!!
no body? :/
Try partitioning your SD card through CWM. Keep in mind that doing this WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD!!
Go to CWM, choose advanced, partition SD card.
First choices are for EXT partition, choose 1024MB, 0 for Swap.
Once completed, mount usb storage, throw a backup or install your new rom.
I tryed that to but its no longer a problem I just broke it to 4-5 parts
Maybe try GParted, I partitioned my 8GB card with it.
I want that 32 gb card. T-T Sad... xD
Sorry about you having to waste your money on something that didn't work though. ._.
Well a 16 gb card will work.
experiencing the same problem - i have a 32GB card and when partitioned it is read as "OTHER" have no idea why 2GB, 4GB and 8GB will work but 32GB cant be partitioned to a2SD
need help fixing this problem
I have the Optimus V and the 2GB micro SD that came with it. I want to swap to a new 8GB micro SD so that I can put more music on it. I've got a bunch of apps on the card (more than the internal memory can hold) in an ext3 partition using Link2SD. I'm running the 8/10 build of pure IHO/CM7.1 RC.
I think I can do it this way but I wanted to get some confirmation:
1.) Boot into recovery
2.) Make a backup (which I can confirm does back up the ext3 partition)
3.) Swap cards and partition the new SD card using recovery
4.) Copy all files from the old SD card's FAT32 partition to the new SD card's FAT32 partition using my SD reader on my PC
5.) Put the new card in the phone, boot to recovery, and restore
I think that'll put everything back where it belongs, but I would just like someone to confirm that for me. Thanks!
Should work. Would personally use gparted or similar to clone and resize the SD card partitions on PC.
Oh, yeah, gparted. I forgot i could get a livecd for that.
Question, though - if I use gparted to clone, I need to have both cards installed at the same time, right? I only have one SD/microSD reader (it has both slots but I can only use one slot or the other at a time, so I can't use one card in a micro-to-SD adapter). Can I use USB storage for one card and the reader for the other?
Never tried this. I have tons of SD card -> USB adapters around.

Like alot of you, I recently had alot of trouble with my sandisk 64gb micro sd card. this fix is pretty easy but it worked for me! so check it out:
you need two programs: SD formatter( can be found on the sandisk website) and easeus partiton master( you can use any program that lets you format partitions)
you will also need the sd card adapter to put you micro in, and an sd card reader
Step 1: connect your sandisk 64gb microsd card to the computer with the adapter it came with in the box. My laptop has the sd card reader built in
I dont think it will work unless you connect it this way.
Step 2: open sd formatter, it should have recognized your card if not click refresh. after its recognized click Options and set format type to full (overwrite) format the sd card. this will take a long while so you might wanna go watch tv or something?
step 3 : after its done formatting open partition master and right click on the sd card and format it to fat32. your going to have to click apply on the top right hand corner for it to work
you should be set. DONT FORMAT IN THE ANDRIOD SETTINGS. for some reason when ever i fixed the micro and tried formatting it in my phone it would mess up everything thing again.
I keep a 32 gb in my s4 now and use my 64 in my note 10.1 because i need the space there more. Let me know if this works for you!

It really depends on the troubles you have, most of them are some kind of incompatibility with the S4 firmware and the 64GB SD card and formating this will not help. My issue was each time i'd put music on my SD, my system status would trip to custom, also my music would not always show up at boot. This has been a recurring problem with the sandisk cards no matter how i formated it. And yes, i did use SDFormater 4.0 and still had the issue. My only solution was to get a Samsung 64GB SD and no issues since
Sometimes mine removes itself, but a media rescan or reboot fixes it. Doesn't really bother me.
I use a 64gb PNY class10 and its flawless for me.I think the issue is witg the sandisk bran.

Figured this is a good thread to post my experience.
I had a MicroSD card I thought was bad. What happened was I was formatting the device to ext4 at the time using a older microSD USB adapter i had. Basically, the microSD card reader died while it was in that process. Using a microSD > SDAdater and a built in SD card slot on my laptop I was unable to format the drive in Windows or MacOS. (I was formatting the device via the USB reader on my Desktop in Ubuntu). Ubuntu does not see my card reader on my laptop so I was unable to use that). I thought I killed it. It was a SanDisk microSDXC 64gb card.
So I ordered a new Samsung microSDXC and a new microSDXC USB card reader. I got them both. New card worked great. I decided to play with the card a bit. Using Ubuntu, gparted specifically, with the new adapter I could no create or modify partitions on the old microSD card. It would fail out every time, different errors for ext4, exFAT and Fat32. So. In Gparted I went to Device > Write new partition table.After I did that I would able to format the drive in Ubuntu to whatever filesystem I wanted, and the card works in the phone, mac, windows, everything.
Just a heads up to help any others with issues. Rewriting the partition table may help if somehow it gets corrupt because of some write fail,
I ve 2 64gb sandisk 10x microsd with Samsung S4 I9005 with Android 4.3. I formatted with android, also Windows 7 64bit with various types of sizes on laptop. However on laptop or on phone after writing some files and disk scanning, it gives many disk errors. I wonder if it is software or microsd hardware problems. There is no problem with 32 gb.

Found the Culprit!
Considering I encountered this write protect error TWICE with the exact same product, and after having read forums that show it's a common problem, I conclude that the problem is with either this specific SanDisk product or a particular batch of this product:
Exact product specs: SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
These carry a lifetime warranty. A word of advice: if you go for a replacement, ask for a different 64GB model, or try a different size of the same model (I got 2 x 32GB cards instead). If they insist on giving back the exact same model, I'd suggest you use that card anywhere except a smartphone!
