I have rooted every android phone I have ever owned.. Been doing tons of research, reading tons of reviews trying to decide on which tablet to buy. I think this Galaxy tab 10.1 is my choice. However how is everyone rooting this wihtout an SD card slot? I have read all the how tos and they just say put file on sd card root and flash bla bla..
Everthing I have read says this device does not have a SD card slot so how is this done??
Thanks
Hey. I sent a PM to you.
Sd = internal storage.

**I'm sorry if this has been covered already. I did a quick search and didn't find anything in the other "3.1 update" posts.
Got my HoneyComb 3.1 OTA update yesterday evening. The only detail that I was looking forward to (or even knew about in the update) was the new usage of the MicroSD card slot.
I hurried to grab a MicroSD card to check out the new memory-expansion capabilities. To my surprise, it did NOT work.
In doing some minor searching, it appears that the 3.1 update did NOT come with the support for the SD cards.
WHY?
No, it did not come with the update. Stock Xooms do not yet have working SD card slots.
Micro SD support is not included in the 3.1 update. You will have to root with one of the methods in the Development section.

Cam,
If I root, are there ROMS that have SD support? Or will simply rooting the Xoom enable the SD slot?
No ROMs yet for Xoom. But there are custom kernels that enable external SD card support. If you are on a stock wifi only Xoom go here >

If you are actually stock under HC3.1 take a look there

for root your Xoom wifi-only and when it will be done install the last Tiamat kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
so you will have acces to your micro sd card and if you want you can overclock your Xoom. This is what i just did with mine and it's working fine.
Has anyone attempted to put an SD card in the slot without any kernel modifications and actually have it damage the sd card? I tried mine today just for the heck of it and now my SD card is dead. My EVO cant access it and my PC cant even reformat it.
Maybe you damaged a contact or something. Because that seems odd. I kept my SD card in there before I rooted and it didn't destroy it.

I agree. No issue here when I inserted SD card prior to root.

it turns out it severely corrupted one of my video files. After several tries I was able to get windows to reformat it and now it seems fine again. Still really weird tho...
I bought a brand new class 10 SD card and I tried it with the s3 and worked fine. When I got my new galaxy S4, I format the SD card and put it in the St and again I format it from the phone itself. I put my picture and song. Then when I turn the device off and back on again it will tell me the SD card damaged need format. But when I go to setting, Storage. And mount the SD card it will work just fine.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem? because it is really frustrated

Try formatting on your pc with exfat and then reinsert the card in your s4.
Have been getting that on mine also. I reboot and then it works fine. Not sure I actually thought I had damaged mind by maybe not

Thanks guys I will try that. Might help

This happens a lot on my S3 and the only long-term (but not permanent) fix I could discover was formatting in the computer like the guy above stated. I always keep a backup of my phone ext. sdcard on my laptop to make sure that if it happens and can't get it to work I still have my data, I recomend people to do the same.

I also have been getting this problem with a 64 gb card. It must be a bug. So far, I just reboot and it seems to read it fine. I noticed it also throws me into safe mode on the phone if I reboot too often. I'm not sure exactly how it is triggered.
I had the same issue, it happened when I removed my SD card from my S3 without "safely ejecting" it from the Storage menu. I plugged it into a computer, and went to a command prompt and ran "chkdsk d: /f" where "d:" is the letter of the SD card and it fixed the filesystem and all of my files were back and my card was perfectly usable again.
Note - this is not the "Damaged SD card Issue" i never received ths warning.
Up until last night, my New S4 was running great with my Samsung 64gb sd card...had a ton of programs etc. The thing is, the card was also encrypted by company security policy. Prior to flashing to a new rom i tried to decrypt the card, the the system credientials were locked and wouldn't let me (after removing accounts etc). I don't want to talk about ways i could have decrypted - let's just say i went into the flash with an encrypted card.
Wiped cache, delvik cache, and factory reset
now i don't believe this cleans the internal (SD or storage) as this is where i flashed from
Everything flashed successfully and the new rom is up and running.
Except now i can't access my SD card on my Galaxy. Mounting only results in the device saying "it's safe for removal". I can't even format on this device, but i can on a galaxy s3 and my laptop. And the card works in all those places just fine. The card won't even mount in CWM....EVERY time I insert the card, I'm just told the card being checked for errors and immediately goes to "card is safe for removal"
anyone know what might be going on? This is driving me nuts here!
Just tried reflashing again, this time clearing internal memory too...installing rom from a diffetent external SD card and still no luck. Same result as above.
Again SD card works in all other devices other than s4.
Also note I am using a T MO rom on att device with new kernal. I don't think that should matter though

Had this issue. I used my 64gb card with the stock rom. I flashed CM10.1 this morning onto it and CM10.1 wouldn't read it. Took it out, put it in a SD card adapter and read it on my laptop, copied all contents off. Put it back in my S4, formatted it. It worked. Put card back in laptop, copied content over, worked fine on the S4.
It's a formatting issue. Just back up your data via another device, then format the card in your S4 and youll be fine.
Problem is I can't get s4 to the point where it will format the card. After I attempt to mount it...keeps reverting back to ready to remove message...as if it doesn't want to know the card is there.

Well. Try formatting it in another system. Take it out copy your files off, then format it. (Windows My Computer, right click the flash card, Format). Mac, Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility Select the flash drive, go to erase. Linux, use Gparted. Install via sudo apt-get install gparted if your on a ubuntu/debian based distro.. Then try it in your S4 and see what happens. Maybe the partition got messed up and the S4 is goofing up when it goes to read it, or check partition table or something in a way where other systems might be okay with it still.

Thanks for the input. I did try as you recommended. Even going so far as to format in a galaxy s3- successfully ....a digital camera - successfully ...and my computer systems successfully....all able to read write and format.....galaxy s4 just doesn't seem to care....

Interesting. Well eliminated anything with the card itself or formating.
Have you tried any other microSD's in your S4?
If not I suggest trying that and see what's going on.
If it DOES work then it might be a issue with the card. If it doesn't, something with your S4.
It's either hardware (the microSD card reader is bad somehow) or software (Something in your ROM is messed up). If you want to troubleshoot it to the fullest extent you can do a full factory restore, wiping your phone completely, and loading stock firmware again and wiping \Data partition, as well as cache and see what happens. That would eliminate any software issue.
I have tried other cards and they all work fine. S4 can do everything with these cards. Format...mount...unmount....etc...
Just seems to be this one card in this one device....both card and device work well outside of each other...

There's your problem then. That brand card or something, or that particular card may have something funny going on with it.
I had the same exact thing happen to me yesterday. I was also having issues with my WiFi not working either.
I ended up doing a complete wipe of my S4 in cwm, Odin to stock, updating my software via settings and re-rooting. After doing that my WiFi worked and it would read the 64GB SD card I had.
Luckily, I had a nandroid backup from just a few days prior I was able to revert back to.

Aokp/aosp/cm roms/kernels don't support the exfat format.. So format the SD card to FAT32 to fix the issue check this out.. Lots of threads on this.

Your 64gb sd card is Exfat and a lot of kernels and roms do not support this. Format it to Fat32 and all should be good. But backup everything on your sd card before you do it
don't know how far you have gotten on this, but
i usually use sdformatter from web. i do a "full erase on", takes awhile, but cleans card well and always solved any card issues i had--
Final Solution Atrix 4g to the rescue
Finally put the SD card in my old atrix 4G and reformatted twice and now the card works!
Can't for the life of me figure out why nothing else could format the car sufficiently.
I struggled with this as well just now with my SanDisk 64gb card on my Verizon s4 running Jelly Beans... Solution was to format the card fat32. I did this by executing this file from the command line and issuing 'fat32format x:' after mounting the card obviously. Here is the file fat32format.exe It works perfect now Note: Don't format the card again on your phone or it will end up exFat and the phone will reject the card again.
Hello,
I just got my LG G2 today. Already flashed the new ParanoidAndroid cause I wanted Android KitKat.
I wanted to connect my MSD-Card Reader to my phone, but it somehow simply does not appear in the file manager.
I tried different apps to mount the SD Card, like "Stick Mount" or "USB OTG Helper" but none of them seem to be able to mount my sd card
Most of all, I want to copy all my music and the games (especially big games like GTA) to the card cause 10gb simply aren't enough.
I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSD Card.
Does anybody know what to do? Maybe I simply didn't find the right app!
Oh, and I could not find any solutions in the internet. Forgive me if there are any avaiable that I could not find.
Thanks in advance and merry christmas!
Does PA kernel support USB OTG?

There's a Q&A section for questions and even better yet, there's a thread in the specifically for questions about PA.

Thanks for your answers.
So, I now flashed CyanogenMod and noticed the smartphone realizes there is a sd card connected. There's a message which says something like "The SD Card is being prepared". However, I cannot reach the folder. Can anybody help me?
P.S. What does PA mean?

Thanks, now I finally can save my stuff on the SD card.
But I have another question, and I don't really want to create a new thread.
So, my LG G2 only has 10GB for apps and games, which ain't enough. I wanna copy my apps to the SD card, especially the gameloft games and GTA.
I tried using GL to SD, APP2SD and other stuff but it didn't work, either because I'm too stupid or it is incompatible.
Can anybody help me? Thank you very very much!
