1.When I first plugged my 64G flash drive(before this, I have plugged it into an adapter), I can see it in Drive Mount, while I choose 'mount all', it says ' mount successfully', but I cant find the flash drive in 'Mounted Device ' area, but after I unplugged the flash driver and plugged again, I even cant see it in Drive Mount. 2.Then I tested my another 8G flash driver, it can be recognized in Drive Mount.
3.Then I plugged the 64G flash driver into my PC, it worked well.
What's wrong with my 64G flash driver? Why could it be recognized at the first time and now cant be recognized any more?
What file system is the flash drive? I've had issues with drives formatted in anything other than FAT32 with android.

I have tried NTFS and Fat32, all failed.
But I have tried another 8G flash drive with NTFS, it worked well.
Try booting the device with the microsdxc already inserted, prior to boot.
Try using exFAT. Works fine on Galaxy S2...

Thanks, I have tried booting with the flash driver, but still cant be recognized.
I have a 64 gig micro sdxc card that i couldn't see until i formatted it on my android phone. I tried all different methods in windows, and none of them worked. I'm not sure you can format a flash drive the same way, but it's worth a try.
What is the brand, model and class of this microsd card?
I use a Sandisk microsdxc class 6 formatted FAT32. No issues whatsoever.
Where are people finding Sandisk Class 6 64GB microsd? I can only find Kingmax, TOP RAM, and same no generic no names.
I wish I found this thread before getting a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 microsd card. Hopefully Amazon will take it back.

hi all
i inserted a 4gb sd card into the dock slot. it was taken straight out of a Canon Powershot S5IS...and it didn't work
havent tried other sd cards
havent checked what format the card is in
i did try rebooting the transformer
did try undocking and then redocking
so hows sd card compatibility? what are your experiences?
i think it only reads it in FAT format.
It reads FAT32 from the miniSD port.
The SD Card Reader on the right side will read FAT and FAT32 formats but it wont read NTFS (for now).
Try putting your SD Card into your pc (if you can), then right click on it and select properties to see how its been formatted.
Mark.

The dock's SD card reader will and does read NTFS. It has since day one on stock or custom kernels............. Guess what it reads SDXC Sd cards too..........

@OP: I know you know but just in case. If/when you format, you will lose everything on the card.
well thank you guys. seems im the only one with sd card issues lol
im just going to have to try changing formats and try formatting..
i just presumed that a sd card pulled out of an older digicam would be in fat32 haha

I hope it works for you. I did test with 3 cards, two old Sandisk (1GB & 2GB) and a new Sandisk 64GB SDXC. They all worked with FAT32 and NTFS and on stock and custom kernels, but I've seen some people having some problems with certain cards and classes of cards. Please post your findings. Good Luck
I got the following cards:
Transcend Secure Digital 64GB SDXC SDXC, SD 3.0, Class 10
Lexar MicroSDHC Card 32GB w/USB reader Class 10, High speed SDHC card with USB reader
The dock reads the SD card formated to NTFS fine (have not tryed to format it to another filesystem)
But the MicroSD card in the tablett itselfe only reads FAT32, and not exFAT or NTFS.
But there are several of You that got tablets that read Your MicroCD cards that are formated to NTFS?

Allow me:
http://www.tuxera.com/partners/operating-systems/ (NTFS, exFAT and HFS+)
and
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/TF101_Full_0418d.pdf (page 45 "Tuxera software provides support for NTFS format.")
Considering it actually allowed me to read an HFS+ usb stick....
So, unless there is some weird implementation, it should read those file systems also from the SD card reader.
ext3,ext4 is also supported.
I just tried NTFS on the MicroSD and it was a no go for me. I also tried ext3,ext4 (I'm somewhat new linux ) and that didn't work for me either. That could be me lol. So only FAT32 work for me on the MicroSD
On the SDcard. I could only get FAT32 and NTFS to work.
I tried this with stock .9 (3.0.1), 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.7 (3.1). Then with Prime 1.4 (3.1).
The cards I tried:
MicroSD: 3 - Sandisk 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. I think the classes are 4, 4 and 2
SDcards: 3 - Sandisk 1GB, 2GB, and 64GB SDXC
I'm not saying the other filing systems don't work. I'm just posting what i tried.

Good to read that it's not only me that got problems with the MicroSD card not being willing to work witht he NFTS filesystem.
I recon this is something that Asus can fix with an firmwareupdate?
Anyone tried with USB sticks and external harddrives on NTFS file system?
I gues it should not be any dirrefence between A USB stick and an external HD
wow..
im going to give my problem sd card another go this weekend
well the first thing i plugged in was actually my external hdd. this was just a cheap enclosure with fake "VAIO" lettering on it. it relies on a erm...driver(?) called "USB to IDE Bridge" whenever it's plugged into Windows.
worked flawlessly
interesting...
my Sandisk 4gb SDHC simply refuses to work in NTFS
im guessing this is a problem between different card manufacturer and file system combo
but i can't prove it as i don't have too many sd cards lying around.
well at least i'm glad my sd card works now. i shoved it back into the camera formatted as FAT and the cam can use it just fine.
I'm pretty sure I did copy some files over to the MicroSD card when I hade formated it to NTFS before I tryed it on the TF
Not sure now tho so I will do a new test.
But if I am correct it got nothing to do with the card and the filesystem, rather with the TF and filesystems on different card-slots wich I find strange that they let it read one filesystem in one place and not in another place on the tablett.
Hi guys,
I faced a problem with my 64gb. Sandisk micro SD and I solved the issue and I thought about posting the solution here that might help some of you.
so... the issue I faced is how to get TWRP recovery or CWM to mount my Ex sd card.
basically the problem is that the card is formatted in exfat or NTFS and in both ways it won't be recognized by TWRP and the only way to formate it in fat32 is by only one software because windows can not format more than 32gb in Fat32.
and here is how:
first: download EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition from this link http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol%3bpop&cdlPid=10982635
Second : Now you can see a list of all of your hard drives. Note the one highlighted in blue on the grid. This is my 64GB MicroSDXC card in my USB Card Reader. Obviously the location of your card in the list may differ dependant on the number of drives in your computer
You’ll need to right-click on the drive in the list representing your 64GB MicroSDXC card and click “Format partition”
Third : You need to select FAT32 for the File System, and 32KB for Cluster Size.
EaseUS doesn’t immediately apply the changes you specify. Instead, it queues them up so that you can review and revise them before you commit to having the program affect those changes. then we need to press the Apply button.
that's it ... now you can enjoy your 64gb MicroSd and you can mount it in TWRP or CWM recovery .

I've tried this method, my card became 32GB
Then I put it into my Galaxy Note, it saw it also as 32GB, then I formatted the card with Gnote, then it became 64GB again
I was planning to create two partitions with minitools formatting tool, one was supoosed to be 16 GB FAT32 and the remaning part would be 48GB NTFS, and I was planning to use, Paragon NTFS to mount that NTFS partition on GNOTE.
But because after formatting on PC it became 32 GB I couldn't do that.
Any suggestions ?
thanks so much for this. I just bought a new 64 gb card for my phone and it "corrupted" on me twice. I plugged it in to my comp and it was exFat. Followed the directions here and formatted to fat32. Now I have to copy my files again. I hope this works. Oh and according to my phone, there is no update 4.1.2 for it. I am on 4.0.4 and it cannot find any updates so that doesnt really work for me.
THANK YOU!!
I had been trying to do thiis for 4 hours when i saw ur post! Thanks sooo much..at first i got an error while formatting, but then i quit all other applications as recommended by the software and it woeked perfectly on my HTC Sensation. Thank You Soooo much:laugh::good:
I was looking to format my card to Fat32 so I can use a Paranoid Android Rom. What happens when I want to flash another ROM and the new ROM is a Tochwiz Rom... Will I need to unformat the card or reverse it someway? I'm a newbie to this stuff.

No. Touchwizz roms and aokp/cm10 roms can both read fat32 sd cards. Because exfat is licenced from Microsoft AOKP can't incorporate the drivers needed to get exfat formatted card to work.
Short story is both roms can read/write to fat32 formatted sd cards. Only Touchwizz roms can read/write to exfat formatted cards. Unless you copy a lot of single files over 4GB in size stick with fat32 formatting.

You can still use your card normally. I've done the inverse way (Touchwiz to AOKP) and works too.
The point is: Touchwiz based ROMs have support to FAT32 and exFAT. AOKP ones have support only to FAT32.

That's another point OP have forgotten. Your card reader must support microSDXC cards. Most readers support only microSDHC and these are maximum 32Gb storage. microSDXC has elevated this limit to 2TB. I had to buy myself a new card reader due to that incompatibility.
There's a fragment in Wikipedia which explains this situation:
SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64 GB and larger volumes.

I really sorry for my english, but I hope you and another people understand it. :good:
Just got a SanDisk microSDXC 64GB card from Amazon for my Galaxy S4. I don't want to mess anything up, so I've got a few questions.
Are these cards formatted with exFat? How can I tell? Do I need a special kernel to have it work? Will the stock kernel work?
Should I format it from within the phone before use?
Any other problems/concerns I should have before I copy all my music and ROMS over to the card?
Thanks in advance,
Foulwx...in Atlanta tonight where there really is some foul weather.
I recently purchased a 32GB SanDisk Ultra, and followed the instructions at these two links, for moving apps to the sd card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844 - mini partition tool guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285221 - link2sd and foldermount
If you have some way to connect the card to your PC, the mini partition tool guide is really easy to follow. If you don't plan on moving apps to the card, you could just toss it in the phone and format it there. I screwed up the partitions a couple of times on my own (formatted the card 5 or 6 separate times, trying out different filesystems and partition sizes), before I found the mini partition tool guide, so I don't think there's much chance of permanently ruining the card.
If you formatted the card into fat32, then it would be more compatible without modifying anything on the phone.

You can connect the microSD to your PC to determine what format it currently is. If you stick in the phone, it'll format to exFat. The exFat format can be recognized by the stock kernel as well as the agat kernel and the ktoonsez kernel.
I have the same one. Just put it in my phone and went from there. Guess it auto formats it to exfat that way.
I flashed bluKuban and had to switch to agats kernel to see it. But otherwise works well.

Theres one computer where it sees it and I connect it through an HP printer that had an SD slot.. Windows shows it as 30.6MB and asks me to format it but the format fails. I tried SD card formatter, HP USB disk tool..I don't know what to do
OK, I loaded all my music, pictures, and roms onto my 64SDCard from my laptop. Windows says it is exFat. Booted and seems to work fine.
Then I went into OUDhs recovery to try and make a nandroid. It can't mount the external_sd. Suggestions? Do I need a different recovery or kernel? I'm on the stock kernel.
Thanks again.
Edit: I installed TWRP 2.5.0.3 and it worked fine, I think. I haven't tried a restore yet.
I finally gave up with exFat and, after some research here on XDA, used Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition to format my SDCard to fat32. I just made a Nandroid with OUDhs recovery. Hopefully, everything will continue to work OK and I don't need any 4GB files on my card.
Like alot of you, I recently had alot of trouble with my sandisk 64gb micro sd card. this fix is pretty easy but it worked for me! so check it out:
you need two programs: SD formatter( can be found on the sandisk website) and easeus partiton master( you can use any program that lets you format partitions)
you will also need the sd card adapter to put you micro in, and an sd card reader
Step 1: connect your sandisk 64gb microsd card to the computer with the adapter it came with in the box. My laptop has the sd card reader built in
I dont think it will work unless you connect it this way.
Step 2: open sd formatter, it should have recognized your card if not click refresh. after its recognized click Options and set format type to full (overwrite) format the sd card. this will take a long while so you might wanna go watch tv or something?
step 3 : after its done formatting open partition master and right click on the sd card and format it to fat32. your going to have to click apply on the top right hand corner for it to work
you should be set. DONT FORMAT IN THE ANDRIOD SETTINGS. for some reason when ever i fixed the micro and tried formatting it in my phone it would mess up everything thing again.
I keep a 32 gb in my s4 now and use my 64 in my note 10.1 because i need the space there more. Let me know if this works for you!

It really depends on the troubles you have, most of them are some kind of incompatibility with the S4 firmware and the 64GB SD card and formating this will not help. My issue was each time i'd put music on my SD, my system status would trip to custom, also my music would not always show up at boot. This has been a recurring problem with the sandisk cards no matter how i formated it. And yes, i did use SDFormater 4.0 and still had the issue. My only solution was to get a Samsung 64GB SD and no issues since
Sometimes mine removes itself, but a media rescan or reboot fixes it. Doesn't really bother me.
I use a 64gb PNY class10 and its flawless for me.I think the issue is witg the sandisk bran.

Figured this is a good thread to post my experience.
I had a MicroSD card I thought was bad. What happened was I was formatting the device to ext4 at the time using a older microSD USB adapter i had. Basically, the microSD card reader died while it was in that process. Using a microSD > SDAdater and a built in SD card slot on my laptop I was unable to format the drive in Windows or MacOS. (I was formatting the device via the USB reader on my Desktop in Ubuntu). Ubuntu does not see my card reader on my laptop so I was unable to use that). I thought I killed it. It was a SanDisk microSDXC 64gb card.
So I ordered a new Samsung microSDXC and a new microSDXC USB card reader. I got them both. New card worked great. I decided to play with the card a bit. Using Ubuntu, gparted specifically, with the new adapter I could no create or modify partitions on the old microSD card. It would fail out every time, different errors for ext4, exFAT and Fat32. So. In Gparted I went to Device > Write new partition table.After I did that I would able to format the drive in Ubuntu to whatever filesystem I wanted, and the card works in the phone, mac, windows, everything.
Just a heads up to help any others with issues. Rewriting the partition table may help if somehow it gets corrupt because of some write fail,
I ve 2 64gb sandisk 10x microsd with Samsung S4 I9005 with Android 4.3. I formatted with android, also Windows 7 64bit with various types of sizes on laptop. However on laptop or on phone after writing some files and disk scanning, it gives many disk errors. I wonder if it is software or microsd hardware problems. There is no problem with 32 gb.

Found the Culprit!
Considering I encountered this write protect error TWICE with the exact same product, and after having read forums that show it's a common problem, I conclude that the problem is with either this specific SanDisk product or a particular batch of this product:
Exact product specs: SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
These carry a lifetime warranty. A word of advice: if you go for a replacement, ask for a different 64GB model, or try a different size of the same model (I got 2 x 32GB cards instead). If they insist on giving back the exact same model, I'd suggest you use that card anywhere except a smartphone!
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model. I purchased a 128GB sd card and I'm running into some issues. My S5 can detect the card, and I can copy files to it. But it seems that one I hit roughly 8.08GB of used storage, anything more I add disappears after my phone reboots.
The card was formatted in FAT32 originally. I have tried exFAT but the phone is unable to read the card in this file format. I have also tried NTFS but same results as exFAT.
I have done some research and have seen others with issues regarding 64 and 128GB sd cards with Samsung Galaxy models, but no fix yet (or at least from what I've seen/read).
This card only seems to work in FAT32, but I am unable to use the full capacity of the 128GB sd card in FAT32.
I have a 32GB sd card that works just fine without issues. Not sure what file table the 32GB card is formatted in though as I did not know of this issue until recently when I discovered it so never bothered to check.
Is there a fix for this that I have not found yet? This is quite annoying.
Thanks
Probably a fake.
i dont have problem with Team MicroSD 64GB
you have to format it in your phone (ExFAT), use file explorer in your phone, do not format using PC

What sd card is this because it seems like it's a fake and may not really have all that storage. I've never had any problems with my 64 gb SanDisk micro sd card which I'm currently using.
try PC format

I downloaded the tool and just used the cleaner. I found problems and then I ran clean & fix and it seems to have solved the problem. Thank you very much.
