Just bought a new sandisk 64gb card. When I try to mount the SD card I get "damaged card" notification in my status bar. I selected it and it gave the option to format. I did but to no avail. Will this ROM support that size?

I ran into the same problem before. Sadly, the Note does not support 64gb sd cards. The max that you can get is 32gb, unless someone out there can prove me wrong.
Been running a 64GB samsung card in my I717R since release date without issue. I did originally format the card in another phone.
If you need help please use the correct forum. Moved
Is the card formatted to NTFS ?....or FAT32?
also ....is the card an SDXC card ?
Been reading for a bit to attempt helping, and the card should function fine if first formatted to FAT32, but as stated by agoattamer ..cannot be done by the usage device.
Perhaps via card reader and PC ?
Hope it helps a bit ..g

I am using a Rogers branded Note with stock ICS. I purhcased a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD a while back. Out of the box, it would not work, as the card was formatted in exfat. I had to format it to FAT32 first.
Unfortunately windows 7 did not allow this.. I think the card was too big. So I had to google how to, and used a free utility to do it (sorry, I do not recall the name of the app).
Works great now
I did find a fat32 software that works. I only got 59.45gb out of it. I used 32768 for the allocation size.
Would a larger allocation size get me the full 64gb available?

You won't ever get the full 64GB. It is just how it is. Check your hard drives on your computer and you will find the same result.

So I figure some people have purchased SDCards other than what HTC provided with our phones...
My question is: What format (based on card size) should we be using?
I had my SDCard (16GB Patriot Class 10) from my Incredible formatted as Ext4 which was causing me a major headache when I wanted to do a Nand Backup. My AmonRa and Clockwork could NOT mount the sdcard. Took me forever to remember that I had formatted it differently. I put in my old 8GB card that was FAT32 and all of a sudden, I could successfully do a Backup.
The catch is that since I am using a 16GB card, when you format (NO Quick Formatting I know) you have multiple options for Allocation Unit sizes. What size should be used?
Reason being is that I formatted the 16GB to FAT32 and default was 32kilobytes as the Allocation size and still I cannot mount the card in AmonRa.
Please help. Thanks.
I have the identical card I believe and I was using Fat32 Default allocation (which ends up being 4k I believe).
Also why were you using ext4? You do know you can partition your card so that you have both right? I can't think of a reason why you would need a 16gb ext4 partition.
What about a 64gb card? I read that someone put one in and had the phone format it and it works fine. No idea how they formatted it, they didn't mention it, so I didn't know there were options until seeing this thread. Got a 64gb card for xmas and would like to pop it in and load it up! Thanks.

I read elsewhere in the Rezound Accessories forum that if you format a 64g card FAT32 the phone should be able to handle it.

During the launch presentation it was mentioned that the Galaxy S3 will support MicroSDXC cards with capacity up to 64GB and an exFAT file structure.
However, the manual released on Samsung's UK website states otherwise...
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9300ZKABTU-downloads?isManualDownload=true#
Code:
Your device accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory
cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on the
memory card manufacturer and type).
Code:
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
memory cards. If you insert a memory card formatted
with a different file structure, your device will ask you
to reformat the memory card.
The manual is from this month (05/2012), Rev. 01
I asked Samsung, but they weren't able to give me an answer.
So, what's the deal?
Nothing is the deal, MicroSDHC and MicroSD"XC" are compatible using the same controller, the only reason why it wouldn't work is if someone went "If >32GB return IMPOSSIBRU;"
We know the s2 deffo doesn't support 64gb but this guy tested it out and it worked..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYUg14u_co8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv_56mwG0w4
These are two videos that show that it works..
Yes, yes it will on both counts.

Got confirmation from Samsung Mobile UK:
The device will support 64GB micro SD. Sorry for any confusion.

If you format the card in the phone, what format will it use? Presumably FAT32. If so, will it be better to format in your computer?
The 64GB cards come formatted exFAT, so no need to format a new card at all (otherwise in computer if the card is already used). Just confirmed I will be getting hands-on an S3 today, will by trying out my exFAT formatted 64GB card in it

Hopefully the guy is OK with me taking video and isn't under some oppressive NDA, if so will shoot a bunch of stuff including the card.
Hi everyone!
So, I did indeed have a couple of hours hands-on time with the S3 today, wanted to let everyone know that exFAT support is present and working, and 64GB cards work fine (if anyone still doubts that they work on all Androids with card slots).
Will have some more info up soon too
Hey guys,
I just got a Sandisk 64GB SDXC card. I popped it in my SGS3 but it tells me that the file system is not recognized.
Any ideas?
Thx
reformat the card in the phone the 64 gig works fine even on my old sgs but you have to reformat it on the phone

Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my card. My SGS3 cannot mount it, then it asks to format it but that gives errors and ends up saying I can now safely remove it.
I have tried to format it on Windows 7, I can select exFat as the file system but it tells me the capacity is only 30.6 MB. Weird.
You might want to check you got what you thought you were buying, google for H2testw. Plenty of no-what-they-seem-to-be cards about.

Works great .
You definitely need to format the card from the device (S3) before using it. Otherwise you won't see it at all or only half of it.

Question?
Hi guys, i have the 64gb SanDisk sd card... I had formatted it EXFAT using Windows 7. My phone (galaxy s4 gt-i9300) recognizes it, but i dont know what is wrong, cause I cant download files bigger than 4GB... And also my recovery recognizes it. I rooted my phone, but if I check the properties of the sd card on Windows it shows that it is on EXFAT? Should I use a different method to format it?
Thanks in advance
Sgs4 its not gt 9300.

Hi there guys
I have been having a problem with 3 sandisk 64gb micro sd cards. I always got them replaced but it is getting frustrating now. Obviously they are formatted in exfat format.
The problem starts when I copy data of over 30 gb. Once i copy the data n the sd is remounted or the phone is restarted i always get the message "damaged sd card" but when i read the card on pc through an adapter it shows the contents ok. So i want to know if anyone can help me so that I may not need to return the card this time around...

Try to format it first in the phone, then start loading data on it.

I also tried it buddy but none of the methods seem to work .. i also tried formatting it then copying data through sd card reader as well as the phone itself... does it have to do anything with some file system issue or kernel related issue... im on stock kernel rooted...

also had the same problem. i formatted the card to fat32 with 32xxx sectors with "GUIFORMAT" app for windows, the it works ok.
then after fat conversion, you can try to format the card to exfat using any app (not the windows one) search google, then it might work, didnt try myself as fat32 works great, and i can use it with the script that makes the card the phone memory, so now i got 64gb instead of 11.6gb of phone storage

I have the class 10 64Gb Sandisk sd card too with no problems.
Card has about 55Gb info on it and I didn't format the card. Just put it into the phone. Recognised instantly and haven't looked back.
I have a 2nd SGSIII too with a 64gb class 6 sandisk sd card. Same applies but with a little less data on it.

Download g-parted, boot it, format the sd-card to fat32, then reformat it under windows to exfat if you want to store files larger than 4gb.

Hey there cowboy,chill!
Maybe it's a fake one?
Where did you get it?
What brand is it?
And how much did you pay for it?
Sure this isn't one of those dodgy cards? Where did you buy it?

I had the exact same problem when I first bought a 64GB card for my S3. Chucked it into my phone, formatted it and then found the phone would no longer recognize it.
Took it back to the retailers I bought it from, got it swapped and the second card has worked mint ever since.
Moral of the story: Probably just a dodgy card. Return it and get it another, most manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty.
Isn't this issue purely caused by the card format system? I thought maybe all card >32GB had to be manually reformated to FAT32 (and then to exfat to avoid the 4GB-limit) before mounting the card in the phone, and there wouldn't be an issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I plan to buy a 64GB card myself on of these days.

exFAT doesn't suffer from the same 4GB file size limit and 32GB (Windows) partition size limit as FAT32, which is kinda the point of exFAT in the first place, so no, you should just be able to format it straight off using Windows, to the full 64GB size using exFAT.
That said, I don't have one, so can't speak for how the GS3 handles formatting it itself...

I am using a 64gb and have heard 128gb work too. I use a fat 32 partition and link2sd and use external sd as main storage.
I too am using 64GB -- formatted to FAT32. If I recall, my card was pre-formatted with 2 partitions which the phone will not recognise. If you format it to NTFS, TWRP might not recognise it in recovery mode. Windows will not format such a large drive as FAT32, so you will have to use another tool -- e.g. MiniTool.
The caveat is avoid using a (cheap) USB card reader. I've corrupted the card before when transferring too much data to the card. Newer readers built into your laptop or using the USB cable directly to the phone seem okay.

^^ Same as those guys, I also am using a 64gb card. No issues! Though surprisingly it made my Xperia bug out, lol
Just be sure you get something beyond first gen (40,MBS) cards. I have had 0 issues with anything up to 64gb I now have two 128gb cards that both work but get corrupted and require a format every time I attempt to transfer 10 + Gigs of information at a time.
