Cannot flash from 16GB microsd

Not a big problem but I cannot seem to flash with my 16GB microsd. My 8GB works fine. Anyone has similar issues or knows the solution? It can be troublesome to swap cards when flashing...

I have no problem flashing from my Sandisk 16GB card. Did you try reformatting the card (FAT32!) ?

I'm using a sandisk 16GB microSD card as well, and have no problems flashing from it. What brand is your microsd card? Then again, doesn't matter in your case, as you already bought it, but for the rest of us it might be important, so that we can stay clear of that brand.

I have the same problem mate, I could flash a few times at the beggining, from then, I have not been ablo to do so, I already tried formatting it to FAT32, erase all files and jut leave a blacimg.nbh file in it and it did not worked anyway.

Same here for me
Kingston 16 GB also SanDisk 16 GB.
After some flashes it stoped working, allways shows no imagefie

worked fine
- 16gb , 2gb
didnt work
- 2x 8gb and a 1gb
but i never sorted out why they wouldnt work even after re formating

I bought one week ago a new micro SD card 16Go Class 6 from Transcend...
And I have the same problem, which is not really a problem.
I use my old 8Go card for flashing.
I read few months ago that we can't flash the touch HD from anyone micro SD card. I don't know why ?
info : Transcend micro SD 16Go FAT32 32-Kilo

if you count free space on empty cards, transcend 8gb and sandisk 8gb will show 8gb but differnt values if you look in details
seems different layout of partitions for different vendors
flashing from sandisk is always OK
transcend = no go

I am using Sandisk 16gb class 6. My other 8gb sandisk class4 & kingston class 6 works fine...

Can flash but UC does not work
I can flash using my 16 gbyte Sandisk but I cannot get UC to work. I either get an error saying the cabs cannot be located or it just hangs. Anyone else see that particular problem?

Transcend are BAD. They seem to have real problems with large files such as ROM Images and MemoryMap data files.

[Q] Sandisk microSDXC 64GB class 10 UHS1 showing 27.46GB!

I have bought Sandisk microSDXC 64GB class 10 UHS1. When I put it in my computer using USB2.0 Kingston Mobile Reader it could not recognise it. I removed it and I placed it in my Galaxy Note. I went into clockworkmod 6.19 (Non Touch) and I partitioned the card with 2GB or 4GB (I do not remember exactly!!!) and Swap size 256k. When my phone restarted, the phone did not recognize the card. Therefore, I went through the internet to find a solution. I found the program "EaseUS Partition Master 9.1.1 Home Edition" and reformatted the card with FAT32 and cluster size 32KB. When it finally finished, it gave me the size 27.46GB!! I reformatted through SD Formatter 3.0 hoping that the partition used through Clockworkmod messed up the actual size of the card. I successfully re-formatted the card, however the size remained the same. I know that the size of a microSDHC card 32GB is around 29GB, therefore it does not explain size 27.46GB.
My question now, if there is an answer!!! Is the card faulty or did Clockworkmod messed with the card?
Please advise if possible!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, because I think this a very strange story!

I think that the CWM messed up with the SD partition. Try to format in Windows ad tell me the results.

if I'm correct 32gb is the max for the n7000. Note II does up to 64gb

Nope. I have the same card and it shows me all of the space(about 59gb) and i juat put it in the phone.

Could be the reason OR the Card Reader may not be compatible with SDXC...
I got a Transcent dual (micro and standard Card reader) which works fine while some others incompatible.
Once he got the good card reader, he should try to format first the SDXC as exFat (on Windows 7) to be sure he got 64GB, then to get it work on the G-Note is another story...
I had to copy some files (any kind) on the card, then when plugged on the G-Note, the system detect an issue and propose to format the card (watch carefully at the messages)... When done, all is good !

Thank you for your answers! I have no solution, but I sent the card for a replacement and Im getting a Sandisk USB 3.0 Reader, so as soon as check I will inform with the results!

64gb sdcard in bionic possible?

Droid bionic has a max 32 gb external sdcard limitation. is this a hardware or software limitation?
thinking if it was software, could I create 2 partitions on 64gb card and mount extra partition in vold.fstab as usb1 or sdcard-ext2 or something?
thanks.

I do not know if this helps or not but my Samsung Precedent is supposed to have a 16gb SDcard limitation but I have a 32gb card in it and it reads it as such. AlI I can say is stick the card in and see what happens. Once I get my Bionic up and running I plan on moving the card to from phone to phone. Good Luck and hope it works.

I've been using a 64 GB card (SanDisk Extreme SDXC) with no problems.

Is the OS JellyBean?
is the card formatted exfat or fat32?
Is it class 6 or class 10?
thanks.
Note: reason I'm asking is I have been reading problems with class 10 micros SD drawing too much power and exfat not being recognized with usb thumb drives and I wasn't sure if that carried over to the Micro sd card(for those with a y cable, an OTG cable, and powered hub)

Software problem only, reformat the card as fat32, your phone will ask to do this, and it will work fine.
Been using my sandisk 64gb card for a year without issue in my Droid 3 and now on my Bionic.

I broke down and bought a sandisk 64gb micro sdxc
picked up a sandisk 64gb sdxc class 10 from best buy for $35 yesterday.\
It would not read in my bionic because it is formatted exfat file system. Android no like. ext2 or fat32 is preferred if your a windows user def fat32.. problem with formatting anything that large using windows is you need utils found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735
that diddn't work for me so I used easeus partition manager to delete partition on card and create a primary (not extended) partition that was unformatted. I then used the fat32format.exe from the link above to format the card all of which was done in windows xp
working now.
I'm sure there are some things here that are not neccessary but this is what worked for me after a few failed attempts.
do not copy files form your old card until you put a couple files on the new card and test it. you will just end up wasting your time when it doesn't work and you have to reformat it again or repartition it again and copy..... again. I copied 29g to the card like 3 times. lol.
my entire music collection will be with me at all times now!

64gb MicroSDXC is 30$ on Amazon (US).
I got one and it is working flawlessly in my bionic. I was running CM11 at the time, but have jumped a couple of ROMs since then.
I copied all files off of my old card to PC (using the card slot), formatted the new card IN MY PHONE, then copied the files on to the new cardPure success. No errors or anything.
Just my experience though! Bionic isn't supposed to handle 64gb cards, but mine did just fine.

64 megabyte SD card
I also purchased a 64 megabyte SD for my bionic and it works great.

[Q] S3 LTE Problem with 64GB External SD Card

Hallo everybody ,
i bought a 64 GB SD Card for my S3 LTE, Im currently on PAC Rom´s nightly (JB 4.4.2) and everything works fine.
My 16 GB Sd works without any Problems, also did my 8 GB one´s
If i insert my 64 Card it´s also working ok, i can copy paste anything to it and use the moved data.
BUT.
Here´s the point.
If i Restart the Phone or remount the Card it shows up "preparing sd card" and nothing happens.
i thought it may take a little bit longer but 2 day´s should be more than enought
Tried it several times, only way to use it again is to format it.
So if there is data on it, it doesn´t work, empty everything is fine.
Any suggestions ?
May be a littlebit crashy english but im from germany and in a Hurry right now hope you understand everything

Ok, first: Are you sure it's a 64 gb one ? Test it.
Second, how and where are you formating it ?

Had the same problem with my 32GB* micro SD card on my S3 I9305 LTE, it kept saying preparing SD card, it was constantly mounting and unmounting. It was due to the fact the the 32GB card was a Chinese counterfeit. It says 32GB on both the card and in settings>storage, but when tested using H2W, it was only 4GB. I bought an original Samsung 64GB Micro SD and the problem was resolved. Almost all the cheap memory card found on eBay are counterfeit. Buy your card at an official distributor of the brand. don't be tempted by the cheap ones on eBay.

It's a 64 gb card, I formatted it with paragon and it worked, it also said 64gb, I formatted it into exfat, ntfs, fat, and fat32 neither worked :/
Any solutions?

Try on a computer if you can actually store 64GB of data on the card, and then read it back successfully. H2testw is the best way to do this.

Using a 512GB SD card on Note 4

Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance. I have been trying to use my Note 4 as the ultimate media device with all my music library (close to 1TB). So I read this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/half-terabyte-phone-tank-phone-550gb-t2987826) and thought it was worth a try. But I have been trying to make my Note 4 read my Kingston 512GB SD card for about 4 hours now, and nothings seems to be solving the problem.
The setup is like the following: SD card --> SD to microSD adaptor --> Note 4. I confirmed that the adaptor is working fine with Sandisk 128GB SD card, which gets mounted properly by Note 4. But when I put a 512GB SD card in it, it just shows that it's "corrupted" and asks to format it, which goes on again in saying that it's "corrupted." I have two Kingston 512GB SD cards, so I used chkdsk to fix if there's any problem with them (which I don't think is the problem, it works fine on my Canon DSLR, and Windows). So I think the problem lies with the phone.
I tried 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 stock, and few roms (CMRemix, CM12.1, TEXOdus, Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1) with few different kernels (by freeza and emotroid). BUT none of them worked...
Does anyone know of any working rom or kernel that will support 512GB SD card?

*Problem Solved* Thank you!

Out of curiosity, how did you solved the problem? Was it a bad card?

No, for some reason, my Note 4 didn't read 512 GB SD cards formatted in exFAT and NTFS properly. So I tried it with FAT32, and it works fine now (even though it has 4GB file size limit that I don't really mind).

Thank you for this thread, as it provided info I needed when shopping for my 512 EVO card. Mine works as exfat, but thats on RR and AICP. Haventt tried with other software, but just thought I should provide info I have.
