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 guys,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900T running the AllianceRom 3.1 made for G900F. I use an external SD Card SanDisk 16GB and since yesterday I never had a problem.
So, now I'm experiencing this error: "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" on Notification Panel. When I click on it, android asks me if I want to format the card, I click OK, and at the end the same problem occurs.
Things I already tried to do:
1) I tested the SD Card into another Galaxy S5 and it's running OK without the problem;
2) I formatted the SD card (full format) on a windows computer. Windows recognizes it, and it's running OK;
3) I checked the file vold.fstab on /etc folder and it has the same content as another Galaxy S5 that is running OK the SD card;
4) I re-flashed the AllianceRom 3.1;
[EDIT 1]
5) Tried to wipe the SD Card using TWRP Recovery (as image 1 attached)
6) Tried to partitioning using TWRP Recovery (as image 2 attached)
[EDIT 2]
7) I bought another SD Card, a Samsung 64GB and when I insert it on device I don't get this error, but also not able to mount, it doesn't even recognizes the SD card.
p.s. I searched a lot on XDA, even on Google, and those was the possible solutions I've found, but didn't work for me.
Does someone experienced this problem and was able to fix?
Does anyone knows another alternative that could work?
Thanks in advance

Copy the content of the sdcard to the pc and format the card on the phone itself, that should fix the issue.

Have you tried another SD card in your phone? EDIT: Nevermind this bit
When you plug the SD card into your handset (do it while it's off) Does the SD Storage show anything?
You could try formatting it in another handset if you have the chance then try plugging it in.
Are you using stock Sammy firmware? Or have you installed a custom kernel? Could be one of those playing havoc with your device if so, back up and revert to stock if you can, retest the SD in there.
Test to see if you can retrieve data from the SD card, i've found that although SD cards show up in windows, when I attempt to copy data to the PC it fails, when I say fail I mean it stops progressing and doesn't copy, particular files appear corrupt.
You could also do a chkdsk /f /r via windows on the SD card, or even a general error check.
chances are one of these things will be the culprit, if none and it's still working in another phone and other cards are working in your device then i'm stumped.
Good luck
I would try philz recovery, i had all kinds of problems with twrp on my note 3 and s5 until switching. Not knocking twrp this is just my experience

I formatted my device right now and installed Samsung stock firmware with stock kernel. I also tried to get back to stock recovery, then installed CWM and TWRP, but the same problem
I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem, because I tried everything and nothing happened.

Quite an odd one that, i'm a little stumped.
did you try error checking on windows? OR even a format in a different handset? OR a different card in your phone to see if to see if it reads?
On the other hand if the phone isn't that old, return it, 28 day swap should be good if you're in time, otherwise it's back to sammy.
sorry I can't be of more help m8.
Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card

HEEELLLPPPP
Thanks

Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
Have you found a solution to the OP?
I have an S5 too and it's doing exactly the same. I tried a 64GB Sandisk and Samsung cards, both work flawlessly in PC, MAC and even a different phone. WTH???? My 32GB Sandisk works well in the GAlaxy S5 too, I am about to see if it blends....

Same here. My phone already went in for repair for this and the front camera ring falling issue. Mine was preordered and shipped at launch. It worked a few weeks and now has stopped again. Simply won't recognize any SD cards. I tried an old 2GB, a Kingston 16GB, a Lexar 32GB from my GoPro, and a Sandisk 64GB. All cards work elsewhere, but my S5 never indicates anything is inserted. This is my first Samsung, and it might be my last. I never experienced issues like this on an HTC.
Any progress here? I just got a sweet 64g card Samsung because my others have worked well BUT...
S5 Blank SD card of death. ....

Same here. I tried format the SD card in a Mac and a PC, tried again with other cards, but I have the same (frustrating) result. The only thing I didn't try yet was restoring the device, and I don't know if is a good idea (seems didn't working for any other person with the same problem).

Hi did you get that resolved?
I am having the same problem. I was using my old MicroSD Card. After the update for Android 6.0.1 it appeared a message saying that the card was corrupted or something like that and i might need to format it. I try to do so and and error appeared while formatting it as Internal so i remove the SD card and restart the cellphone and tried to do it at least as External Storage but i got the same error. So i bought a brand new MicroSD Card Class 10 32 Gb and had the same issue. I did a hard reset and start over and i have the same outcome.
All my SD Cards that i tried to use got recognized on my friends cellphones. Moto G Turbo, Moto G 2nd i got a Moto X play. The difference between them and i is t hat i have Android 6.0.1 and they 6.0.
Does somebody found the solution to this issue? . Which version of Android do you have 6.0 or 6.0.1. Everything got screwed up after the update.
Additional Details:
1. After the error appears the SD card is not being read anymore even if i eject it and insert it again. So i erased the Media Storage Cache and External Extorage Cache, restart the cellphone and put back the SD card again and i got recognized with the message that i need to format it. I try too many time reproducing this issue and i always got the same frustrating result. The SD cards were formatted on Mac and PC and also other Motorola phones and Same ****.
2. Called Motorola Services Desk on USA and LATAM. One of them told me to restore the cellphone to brand new state. I did it and same ****.
3. Am so sad for this not much information available
The same issue is there in many custom ROMs as well. I feel it's got something to do with 6.0.1 rather than the sd card itself.

No. I just bought the Moto X play. I was working fine with an Old SD Card. After i upgrade to 6.0 to 6.0.1 the SD Card is not read anymore and showing errors while format it internal or externally. I bought a faster card class 10 and same error. The thing is my friends with no update can read my cards without problems using same cellphones.
My sd card went crazy too after 6.0.1 though after a few tries I did manage to save everything on it into my pc using the sd card adapter. Then I did the slow format in Windows and put it back into the phone. So far it seems working fine.

I will try on a pc...did that on osx with Parallels Desktop...no go!
I have had the same issue as some above. Went wrong two weeks ago when the latest OTA became available from Motorola. The moment the phone restarted I received a warning that the microSD was not formatted, which had been previously set up as internal storage. I am 100% certain that it was the upgrade to 6.0.1 that did this, and not anything physical. I've tried approx 20 different methods to try to format it, both in the now-rooted X Play and on my PC, and even when it appears to be successful it actually isn't. Windows 10's diskpart will show the partitions, whilst most will not. It's as if the card has somehow become write-protected. The 128gb card was not cheap, so if anyone has had the same issue and has a solution, please give any tips you can!
Hello any solution for this ?
I'm willing to try and flash the 6.0 stock. Reporting here asap!
I need a fix for thisssssss! SD Card is not garbage now is it?
no way
sorry guys, bad news! I downgraded to Stock Android 6.0, it didn't fix the problem.
will try with a brand new sdcard...to see if the mxp is somehow very picky...or more simply the sdcard reader is damaged

Does anyone have a guide for partitioning an SD card using TWRP 3.0.0.? The only guides I have found are for older versions and the information is not relevant any more. There is no "Partition SD card" option under "Advanced"
I have already tried using the wipe and change file system (to ext4) functions but when I did that and booted my phone the SD card was not recognised and I had to re-format the card from system settings.
I'm using a Galaxy S4 I9505 on Android 5.0.1 (rooted).
Thanks in advance

Issue in this type
Hello
I personally used it and found some errors in it as per some other reviews I read this has some built-in problems.
Hello Guys,
my phone is Karbonn Titanium s5 plus which is a MT6582 device (Rooted).
I have installed multiple custom ROMs for testing purpose. Now 2 days ago my phone rejected all custom ROMs but accepted the stock ROM and Sony Xperia V2 ROM. Now the problem is that after installation I find that the file manager is not working and DiskInfo app shows me that my external sd card is not mounted. I searched a lot about this error and was confused. my ext-sdcard is of 16gb and another app called APARTED shows out of that 11580 MB is showing fat32 fs and 4096 MB is showing ext2 fs and both of them are unmounted by the system by default.
when I connect the sd card to my PC with sdcard reader then it shows the contents and the card is absolutely OK.
So there are 2 problems :
1. I cannot install custom roms which I had installed previously in this phone via CWM or TWRP.
2. ext-sdcard not showing anymore in android file manager or any such file xplorers.
so guys any help will be appreciated !
Thanks and Regards.
