SD card - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
I struggled for hours last night to put the latest CM nightly on my phone, I have a 64gb SD card and whatever I tried I could not get CWM to see mount the external SD card, I tried reformatting it as FAT32, and tried 3 different CWM versions, eventually found a old 4gb card and used that.
Please tell me what is the preferred method of flashing these nightly roms?

If it's official, I believe you can just update it using CM Updater in settings
Please press thanks if I helped you!

[Q] U8800 (not Pro) 2.3.5 beta 1.0 issues

Does anyone have issues with the SD card after the upgrade?
It says that my 16Gb Sandisk format is unsupported but it fails to format and mount it.
Do you have the chance to format the card directly with your phone instead with the computer?

I tried doing it using Settings/Storage/Format via the phone as well but that failed.
Using the SD Formatter from the SD Association worked where Windows Quick Format failed. Never had that before.

Maybe you can search the SDCard in the bin and try to format with the SD Formatter
I had that happening to me before also. This stopped happening after a couple reflashes of the international version. SD mounting on recovery is still broken though.
Too bad the rom never stays operational for more than 1 or 2 hours... it always ends up in a reboot and bootloop until full wipe.
HI
I have updated new 2.3.5 but my screan keeps restarting after Huwei Icon
happens to me also.. now my fone can't read SD card.....

Just so people don't think it happens to everyone, I'm using a 16GB microSD card and it mounts just fine.
Before, when I had an Optimus Boston (Gigabyte GSmart G1305) with CM7 (2.3.*) and the card failed to mount, but after some upgrade it started working. With the 2.1 stock ROM it worked.
Can't tell if the problem was fixed by the CM crew or came from the vanilla android code though.

[Q] NexusHD2 SD Card Problem

Hello! I recently went the route of installing tytung's NexusHD2 Gingerbread ROM and have run into a sort of bothersome issue. Basically everything works fine (Flashed HSPL, new Radio, MAGLDR 1.13, Clockwork, NAND NexusHD2 ROM), but my 16GB microSD card is not recognized by Gingerbread. I got this microSD card with the device and am currently using a 1GB card instead due to the fact that I get no response from Android upon insertion. I formatted the card to FAT on multiple computers and multiple OS's, all of which seem to have no problem viewing content from the card. To be more specific it is a Sandisk MicroSDHC, and I'm 100% sure it came with my T-Mobile HD2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
I have a similar problem. I flashed my HD2 to the Nexus Rom as well, but when i received the phone it only came with a 4gb memory card. I recently bought a 16 gb to fit more apps and music but since ur having a problem with it i am hesitant to insert it. What are your thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
There shouldn't be a problem inserting it, I've tried many times and it hasn't effected the card at all. Give it a go and maybe you will have better luck than me. Could be my card I suppose.
Hey guys heres an easy solution.
Put ur phone into clockworkmod, and go to advanced, and parition sd card.

I believe I selected 128? What does that effect anyway? I have seen that some ROMs require specific partition layouts correct?
Ok i have clockworkmod but i forgot how to use it or how to get to it. Lol but what does the partition do to the sd card anyways?

[Q] hudge problem with sd card

Hello. I have a hudge problem with my phone. Somehow it automatically unmounts and remounts my sd card for no reason no matter what rom I use. Sometimes it unmounts my sd card and don't mount for a month. Sometimes it gives damaged sd card error and asks to format it but when I insert my card to tablet and it detects no errors. What could be the problem? Can anyone help me fix this?

You must clearing ext partition in recovery and format sdcard. + set min cpu fraquancy on 245Mhz.
didn't help
If it does happen with all roms you've tested, including stock 2.1 then your SD card is propably faulty. You formatted it under Windows?

I can't try stock rom because it says that my recovery is to new. SD card can't be faulty because it is new. I had other sd card earlier but my phone didn't recognized it so I bought new. And i have formatted under Windows.

Check the SD card under different phone, most simple as it can get.

Which ROM are you using?
Now using cm9

Then you have to check different roms and kernels to see under which your SD card works properly. I suggest trying newest AOSP / SDSL or CM 7.2 by Tejas build three.
Maybe is the slot of your SD Card, Why?:
Using every ROM, same device and same problem = device
Used other device and everything ok = the "other" device
So, definitely your slot on your device is bad. Good Luck!

Which cwm version?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just delete all partitions and make new (FAT32) with some Live CD if U don't have Linux on PC (for best get gParted Live).
Next put it in Your phone and partition again with CWM 6.0, or just use fat32.
Some customized roms mess up sd card if it has /swap.
Noticed this in some 2.3 custom rom, but don't remember name of it.

Haven't u tried formatting ur sd card yet?the safest thing i can do for now is switch off my fone and unmount the sd card, i really dont want to format my sd now until i have my backup.and i also having a thought that this wasnt causing a bad sd card as you were saying.

Well when I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I did a full factory reset then formatted the SD card. I like to move what apps I can to the SD card to free up internal memory.

Samsung SD Card corrupted | All Kernels

Hey guys, I've run into a little of an issue. I flashed various kernels on my AZMPM with stock android 8.1 , however none of them is correctly supporting my 64GB Samsung Sd card. It just says corrupted. When I format it by pressing the pop up,it says SD card ready ,but then again it says SD card corrupted. the first time I popped in a 16GB Samsung SD card ,it gave the same error,then I formatted it on my phone itself,it gave an erro,I popped out the card and popped it back into the phone and Voila! No problem! Everything is fine. However the same is not happening with my 64GB card, it just says SD card corrupted! fix now! I fix it then again error.
Please help.

1. Try reformatting the sd card via pc with correct format
2. Check if the card works correctly in some other phone
3. If the card gives you same issue in other phone then kindly replace it.
4. All the kernels out there are almost stable for daily driver now so maybe its not a kernel issue now.
5. Try flashing your stock firmware again, maybe it would work.

Thank you for replying ,but there is no issue with the memory card. I have gone back to stock rom plus kernel,with the 20th Sept OTA through TWRP file,now there is no issue with the card. Am I doing something wrong? I just flashed a kernel on top of the stock rom through twrp that gave me max clock speeds of 2208mhz on the bigger cores and 1800 something on the smaller cores. Everything was fine but the memory card.

Even i cant explain how this happens to you bro, but remember to wipe cache/dalvik cache even after flashing a new kernel or rom (not necessary for kernels but as a clean & safe side i recommend )
