I want to switch to a 16gb sd card and i copied everything i have in my old one to the new but it never passes the logo screen. What are the steps necessary to do this successfully?

I do not really have an answer to your question, but I did discover something cool about stock FroYo.
I had moved a bunch of apps to the SD card (via the official way) and was somewhat concerned about installing a larger SD card as I was unsure if my apps would copy over properly or more importantly be recognized as being present on the SD card at all.
I copied all DATA from my old SD card to my new SD card and booted up the device, at first none of my moved apps appeared to be installed, but after about 3 or 4 minuets all my previous installed apps populated in the launcher.
Color me impressed,

Im using a miui rom and i copied everything to the new sd and then when i turn on the phone i can see the miui logo but then it geys stuck there...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
i think its because some of miuis stock applications are installed onto the sd card. try making an ext partiton and then reflashing the same version of miui you have without wiping and it should boot up fine again without losing all your data
That should not be an issue unless you are using official stock OS or you have previously forced moving system apps to sd...

You keep saying you copied everything over. That's probably not true. Check to make sure all the hidden files were copied over too, and that any extra partitions have been created and copied over too.
If you're using an ext partition, your pc probably won't see or copy it...

Ok so how do i partion. can someone explain that to me. Thanks

You would've had to set up the ext partition yourself, so if you don't know how to do it, I'm guessing you don't have an ext partition...

You partition you sd card in the recovery, there's an option for that.

Easiest way to partition an sd card with ext and fat flavors is via Linux... grab your favorite usb bootable linux (like ubuntu or mint) if you're not already made the switch, boot your notebook via usb, stick your sd card and partition as you like it...

hi to all,
i have a problem with mounting sd card in recovery. I tried to change recovery (CWM--->TWRP) but every time i try to install a package it said "can't mount sd card" or something like that. I tried with other sd card (kingston, transcend, toshiba, a-date) and only a few works and I don't know why.
Can someone help me, please?
P.S.
I tried also with different file system but nothing

I tried to boot in android and the reboot in recovery and I tried also to boot in recovery and then reboot in recovery but nothing. Few times it worked, but now it doesn't work anymore
P.S.
When I boot in android always it says "empty card or unsopported filesystem" but all works normally.

I have rittik v 2.0
use only cwm 5.0.2.7 .Its the only one with no bugs.Except that you have to reboot recovery before flashing a zip,but thats no big deal.
5.0.2.7 is pretty good but 6.0.1.5 (I think) has no problems.
Bronxitas posted a zip for a fixed 5.0.2.7
On to the top issue, try booting into recovery while plugged into a computer/power supply.
Take out the battery and sd card.
Then reboot recovery. Put in the sd card and battery.
Reboot recovery again. There.
Note: before you do this, check your mounts to make sure emmc and sdcard is enabled.

i had pretty major problems with 6.0.1.5 like not even recognizing my sd card! (16gb class 10)
And i think it uses a different folder structure than 5.0.2.7 when creating back ups.If i remember correctly someone was trying to restore or open a specific file from a 6.0.1.5 backup and he couldn't because of new compression method used or something?

korekore1 are SD cards divided in classes? That means the higher the better? What's the biggest class for an SD card? Is this guy using a -51? People with the -51 have reported SD Mount problems in recovery.

You can change the backup selections as Pika said once in some option in 6.0.1.5 to restore the 5.0.2.7 backup but you have to change the way the restore is saved: tar, etc...

Yes and no, Class 4 and Class 10 are often the most common and recommended sd cards. Class 10 editions are newer to the market whereas class 4 has been here for a while. Class 10 achieves a faster R/W speed but class 4 is recommended for the novice user:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388408,00.asp
No one with the -51 reported any mounting errors. I would know if they did... Please don't assume anything unless you have one.
The hardware tree is virtually identical to the pro with the exception of wifi and bluetooth as well as processor.

I'm using TWRP since 15th April.
My sdcard jack was replaced on 18th April.
So.... I've tested "only" TWRP with the new jack.
Earlier (with the old jack) even TWRP also needed rebooting to actually read the sdcard..
My PC is not working, so I can't dare to test other recoveries.

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.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
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.
I have an External sd card issue after updating to 4.4, now I know there are alot of people experiencing access issues but mines is different and wanted to know if you guys are having the same crap, so I can access my ext sd no prob but unfortunately I cannot right any data to it anymore, if I try a full reformat of the ext sd card in my phone it will format and after it will rebuild and come back with pics and music etc, if I try to reformat it in the pc it will not, when I take pictures and it goes to the external sd it will be gone or become corrupt when I reboot, anyone having the same issues???
its less then a year old sandisk 64gb class 10 it would be weird but its also a coincidence it happened only after I updated to 4.4....
Its not weird at all. If you google about that you will find a fix. But first you have to be rooted.
You are going to add media_rw to your platform.xml.
Just google a bit. And you'll find the answer.

Yes. You have to wait for your app to be updated by the dev. I have several apps that is already kitkat compatible. They can write or delete in my ExtSdCard. Anyway. The best way is to root your device. Thats all.
I think it sounds more like what happened to my SD card. It became Read Only and I had to send it back for a replacement. Nothing to do with KitKat.
Check out this thread and I hope it helps (solved) 64gb sd card stuck on read only
This is not the KitKat issue, the Stock Camera was one of the first apps to be updated...
Does this also happen with a different SD?

I had a dodgy microsd not to long ago. It was really screwed, couldn't be read or write to. After formatting a zillion times on all my different devices, I tried a recovery program I had got when I accidentally wiped my 1tb hdd. To my surprise after recovering all the media on the card; I cant remember if there was an option to restore partiton table, but it worked like normal again.
Anyway here's the name of the program:
MiniTool Power Data Recovery
http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/
-looking at it now.
Once you've formatted your sd-card try recovering the media on it (free version only does 1gb). Then try testing again see if its fixed.
If it doesn't do anything there is a couple of other options.
- Damaged partion recovery and lost partion recovery. I'd give these a try and do a quick format after doing so.
Hopefully this program helps, it brought a dead card right back to life for me.

Hi,
For me it's not acceptable to have a device with ext SD support but able to use it!
I spend nearly one hour to copy to another card, reformat, check files, virus, Fat32 but nothing helps!
connected thru OTG, it's possible to write file but impractical, I hope next update or utility would be avaible.
If I understand, it's related to the Knox security?
I didn't tested Knox, it's not free am I right?
I recently got an external sdcard for my MXPE, and I immediately transferred my internal storage to it, and the two TWRP backups that I had. Then, when I am in TWRP I cannot get TWRP to read my external sdcard. I tried to mount it, but it won't let me check the box next to it. Then, in my file manager on my phone, I cannot see my TWRP backups on my external sdcard, but I know they are there because my phone says that the external sdcard has 13 gb taken up. I would really like to see those backups again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: i switched roms and reformatted my sdcard, which ended up working and fixing my issue
Didja format the card IN the phone via storage before you transfered stuff? I have had the problem in the past by that...

Yeah that's what i did. Is there any way to get my nandroid backups back?
Alot of PPL having this problem including me. It's something with 6.0 MM. Look at other posts, many asking the same thing. Don't know what to do, I need to figure out tho. If anyone figures out exactly what to do to fix this problem, please include it here.
There in a temporary way to do it. You can reformat to portable storage which then will then let you see what you should, but the problem with that, when you reformat to portable or internal, its erases the card each time, so each thing you'd do this, you have to back everything up, reformat, and copy it all back after you were done, huge hassle
