I just flashed to CM10M1 and it now tells me that my SD is damaged. I have tried to format it using the phone but the unmounting seems to be taking really long. I have already tried formatting it on my PC, which works, as well as transferring files over, which also works, but when I put it into my phone i comes up with the same error. It is a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10. Any help?

I've heard some people had a problem after flashing CM10 with backups done with ROM manager. They said deleting the backups solved it, which doesn't really make sense if you've already formatted the card on your computer, but maybe it'll lead you in the right direction.

What format are you running? I think it has a problem with exFAT format.
Running exfat, will try reformatting to NTFS and will get back to you

Try FAT32. It worked for me. It does say ready to be removed in your storage settings but you should also be able to see the external SD card. Use Solid Explorer and see if you can see the external SD.

ok...so I am a noob to rooting. but i was able to successfully root my gs3 with the latest cm10 nightly rom dated 9/04. My external sd 64gb card keeps coming up as a damaged card. so i took it to my pc..reformatted and did a chkdsk x: \f and that worked on my pc. i can see 64gb on the card. but when i put the card back in to the phone, it still says damaged sd card. if i click format..it just unmounts forever and then just goes back to the home screen. any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Some roms like cm 10 and a few others when the phone boots that comes ip in the staus bar if thaats what u mean dont worry about it..

under storage it also does not show that i have a 64gb card installed. so not only does the notification say that the card is damaged even though my pc will detect and use the card fine..but the storage on the phone is limited to the 16gb that came with the phone
Is your card exfat or fat32? Cm doesn't recognize exfat.

Google the HP format tool. It looks just like the windows format tool but fixes format issues the windows one cannot.

Hey guys, I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer. Basically, I'm having trouble with TWRP -- it won't mount/recognize my SD card at all. All the advice I've seen so far is to format the microSD card as fat32. Unfortunately, this fix doesn't work for me, as my SD is already formatted to fat32.
Are there any other alternate options?
Thanks!
EDIT: this is on TWRP 2.3.2.3
you probably need to update TWRP. If you rooted using the Galaxy Note 2 tool kit, it's a slightly older version. Here's the thread on TWRP, which you can find the latest version.
I think i'm on the newest version. I updated it a couple days ago using goo manager to 2.3.2.3, which seems to be the newest one
that would be the newest. I had that problem till I updated. My SDXC card is formatted in NTSF. Maybe, you need to reformat it in your phone.
yea, I'll try that. wish me luck

I'll check in a little bit phone is dead and cycling battery. But my 32gb showed up. Are you sure you're not changing it to show external storage
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
you need to go into advance menu, file manager. Then you need to look externalSDCard directory or similar name. That's your SDXC card. Don't use that external/internal option in one of the other menus.
This tends to be case in some of the file manager apps as well such as ES File Explorer.
ok, so, it seems it's not under external_sdcard, but under sdcard. So I guess to access the sdcard i have to go through that. Thanks for the help
Is there any way I can change the default backup location for TWRP to use the SD card? I can't backup to internal storage since I don't have enough space
I had a similar issue with this 2 days ago. ..Could not mount the 64gig sd card in trwp but works fine on the phone. ..I updated to the newest twrp yesterday and that resolve the issue. ..

I don't understand your problem when you go to twrp click install, you have the option to check to either internal or external right at the top.

Hidden in plain sight, really not that hard to see lol. If you can't take the 3 seconds to look where it says internal or external you shouldn't even bother trying to worry about it simple as that.

Tapping on "use external SD" just has it snap back to "use internal storage" and the error message "unable to mount '/external_sdcard'" comes up. So no, it's not that I'm blind.
it was working well until recently, thought it was a problem with intergalactic rom, but noticed a few others having the same issue on other roms, was curious to see if anyone found a fix?
tried another rom and still no luck,
it says that its been ejected and then reads it but says its not formatted, I try to format it but then it gives me an error.
working with a 32gb memory card, don't believe its class 10 but don't have it infront of me right now.

did you ever format your sd card to fat32 before? or is it still exfat?
remember touchwiz roms use exfat, while aosp roms use fat32.
Just an fyi although its pia,
Its always best to format sd card via your phone. Save yes files then use your phone to format.
Having said this, if you lose anything try
http://filehippo.com/download_recuva/
Give it time... may seem slow but its working.
Works with sd or any hard drive probably phone internsl mem as well.
Gl!
Edit: forgot to mention, try it even if you already formated. Youll be amazed.

Just bought an SDHC Class 10 64gb SD card from Ebay.
Popped it in an moved all of my 9gb of Roms, Mods and Music over to it.
After about 20 minutes, it started renaming my files and deleting my music.
Took it out and plugged it to the computer.
Noticed it was stocked exFAT.
Downloaded a program to re-format to FAT32.
Re-formated and works perfectly.
Just one problem.
When I do a full wipe in TWRP and flash a new rom, it doesnt let me touch the files on the SD card after flashing the new rom.
It doesn't let me delete, move, download to it, anything.
In order to use the SD card after a full wipe, I have to pop it back into the computer and format it in "My Computer > Right Click on FAT32 > Format".
Which deletes everything on the card.
Is there any way to fix this, or is this because I had to change it from exFAT to FAT32?
Idk lol.
Works perfectly if I just stay on one rom.

I have scandisk class 10 SD card 64 GB.
its formatted using the note 8 device (exFAT).
Whenever I try to download a file or copy a file in note 8 to the SD. It fails and reboots my device. knowing that reading from the SD is perfect. I can play music and movies from SD with no issues.
the only way I can transfer files to the SD if I connect the SD to the PC directly.
I am not sure if this is an issue with Note 8 or SD. please help!

I'm afraid nothing beyond painfully obvious ones - trying with another similar card, trying the card on any other device supporting exfat (if ok, this would provide definitive proof that card is ok), trying on freshly installed latest ROM, trying with the same card formatted in fat32.

It seems like this is the last resort. I will reformat my note 8 and try again. I also forgot to mention, that few weeks ago I was able to transfer one 800 mb file but this stopped happening. So it seems like there is not enough memory to transfer although I tried clearing the memory.
I will let you know if this reformatting the note 8 will fix the problem.
