64GB SDCARD not working on SGS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought scandisk 64GB micro sdxc card, but looks like its not recognized by android.I have formatted it to FAT32.When I boot into recover y I cannt mount sd card. I cannot open Settings->storage also.
any suggestion , with which ROM 64GB will work?

Got it working.Earlier I formatted card to FA32 and then I was inserting it in phone.It did not work.
Using SD formatter I formatted it back to exFAT and then inserted it into phone. I flashed ROM based on Samsung (wanamlite) .Now when phone is booted it scan for errors in USB , it detects unknown USB storage. So it prompts for blank or unsupported format. I clicked on it and then it automatically formats the sdcard.
Now its working fine.

Microsd not recognized?

Hi,
I just bought a class 10 16gb off ebay. do class 10's not work? Or do I have to put certain files on the microsd to work? When I put it in the phone it just says there is no microsd but it works fine in my computer.
thanks
same thing happened with me as well. i had 8 gb micro sd card that came up with the phone.
yesterday i used it to install windows 7 on my acer aspire one d250 netbook. after that i formatted it and inserted into phone, it said "memory card removed, insert new one" though the computer was able to read it.
i reformatted it with fat32 and again inserted into myphone, same result
again with ntfs and same result(using mini tool partition wizard)
today also i kept playing with my sd card
just a couple of minutes ago i formatted my sd card with fat32
and then i right clicked my sd card in mini tool partition wizard>>>>> then i clicked "modify">>>>>>then clicked on "change partition type id"
>>>>>> i changed it to "0*06 fat16,greater than 32 mb" >>>>>>>and then yes
and guess what now my phone can read my sd card
and don't forget to apply changes on the left hand side on mini tool partition wizard
hope it helps
cheers
Yes .... i am not crazy.... both my 8gb and 2gb are not being recognized on x10i with baseband 54 or is it ... the xrecovery mod [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01]
either way i am going to downgrade to baseband 46 and do a full SEUS repair...
I would rather a working phone over the prettiest... left baseband 54 and did the SEUS repair tingy... and voila... it recognizes the card again ...HIP HIP HORRAY

this method worked for me!
Class 10 works fine X10a stock or Bitsnacker. Problems recognising in CM ROMs. Used MiniTool (freeware; http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html) to copy MicroSD to HDD (or empty USB) then Formatted Micro ON THE PHONE (Settings-SDcard...-unmount-Format) Mount on PC, then copy everything back to SD gets me recogn. and no data loss.....

I did that but the microSD card still not recognized. When I turned on my phone, it said that I had to format my card. But when I pressed OK, it said that "Formatting failed".
What should I do next?

one question that i really cant understand..
how wud you hit the format button on your phone when it cant detect any sd card.. i really dont understand.. please be specific.. thanks..
reflash 2.1
i used other sdcard then i reflash my phone back to 2.1 using update service.. and it works.. and yehey, it reads my old sdcard.. tnx to all
in some case the problem of the sdcard that no appear or not can be readed is a problem of the manufacturer, in my casi I'm using a Patriot 32 GB Class 10, the only problem may be in one time the sd locked and i can't write or do anything on it but i format it and that fixed

Transferring files from internal to external sdcard

I notice that I have been getting corrupted pictures. Has this happened to anyone else but me? Or is it the SdCard?
Is it a brand new micro sd card? what's the capacity? When I first inserted my brand new 32gb micro sd card it wasn't recognizing it. So I formatted mine via pc as fat32 and it didn't give me any issue after that. Try that and hopefully it works for you.

It was my first microsd card, 32 gb Gskill class 10. I formatted via SDformatter on PC.
Try to format the card on the phone itself. With my new 64gig card, I try to do so on my PC and gave me problems at first. After trying it on my phone it has worked flawlessly thus far.
Be sure to unmount the drive properly in Windows. SD cards can corrupt when you just unplug the phone without unmounting the drive first.
Alternately, on your phone you can switch to 'charge only', which does the same thing.

Help me microsdhc card !

I have the problem same this:
" I bought a TF201 two weeks ago. And i inserted a Micro SD card 32gb Kingston to my device yesterday.
When i restart my tablet, it seems like okay when a notification appear in the screen "Preparing external storage..." , but the problem is here: the notification is pop-up in just 1 second then disappear.
And i cant enter my micro sd card. I go to setting -> storage and only see Internal storage 32gb.
Then i go to file manager and cant see anything about micro sd card.
I think the format of my micro sd card is wrong, or something wrong ? Cuz the tablet regconized something inserted in it so i can say there is nothing wrong about the device, isn't it ?" "
I using tf201 ICS .28 and have problem with sandisk 32G class 10. Help me huhu. Thanks for alls !!!
Hi, insert card into your pc or mac and check the card file system. If its ntfs, format it as fat32.

A MicroSD card formatted as NTFS should work with the Prime.
All of my 4 32 GB Class 10 MicroSD cards have been formatted as such and I have never experienced any issues with my Prime recognizing them.
Same here I have 32GB Scandisk class 10 microSD formatted with NTFS and no problems. I agree try reformatting the OS...I had problems with exfat or whatever it called

Have you tried another microSDHC card to rule out the possibility of a faulty memory card?

No ! my card is OK. TF201 accept card, in file manager show me microsd card as external storage, but when i coppy and paste data (ex: Grand Theft Auto III) it don't run.
And in "apps2sd" it show " The device doesn't have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated".
I wan't use the card for install apps (similar card on Samsung galaxy ace S5830). Help me please ! Thanks for all !

Hi! Try to reset to factory settings in the OS settings. This worked for my problem with external devices.

SD card problem

Hello
Very weird problem. I flashed yesterday the cyanogenmod 9 stable and everything is working except one, my 64GB SDXC don't mount and the system notifies me that is damaged.
If I connect to the computer with an adapter, it asks me to format it, but then works perfectly in the PC. I even used the SD formatter Full format instead of windows.
When I connect to the phone, same problem its damaged, but if I connect again to the computer it asks again to format it, so it seams that the phone is screwing that SD card. But... If I use any other SD card, everything works on the phone, it's just that SD card that the phone is screwing.
I appreciate your help

CM9 doesn't recognize exFAT. Re-format it to FAT32 and you'll be fine.

Format your card by inserting in some other Android phone, hopefully issue will be resolved.

[Q] Inserting micro sd breaks phone external storage

Ok so I have never heard of this one before and I have tried looking for an answer.
My S2 works perfect when it has no micro sd inserted but the moment I put in a micro sd card the phone will boot ok but then it will not recognize any of the phone external storage (the 16gb bit) I get an mtp application has stopped error and I cannot access anything with any file managers not internal storage, external storage, or micro sd. The micro sd doesn't even show up and the rest show all directories as empty. I have this problem exactly the same if I flash a custom rom or stock rom rooted or unrooted it makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried different sd cards but they all cause the same problem. I have tried reformatting the sd card also.
Flash dorimanx kernel version for the ROM you're on and test. Also formatting int sd card may help with this. Bk up you're data. format it and test.
