Unable to set my SDHC card as internal storage in stock android marshmallow. - Sony Xperia M

I have downloaded the alpha stock rom for xperia M from PecanCM with the patch he has released in the thread to enable internal storage formatting of sd cart. However, my old 2 Go sd card works fine with it, but with my 16 Go card , I get a message that my sd card is too slow, so, if I go back, I get stuck at 60%, if I choose "OK", I get the choice of importing data on my sd card which make the setting process to crash, or doing Nothing, which induce a congratulation message, but make my sd card corrupted.
If I format my sd card as external, I have no problem.
Is there a solution for the moment?

for now try to make only for class 10 SDHC card to make it work properly. if your SDHC Class is low from that i think that can make problem when in process. that cause from AOSP feature still unstable from this build.

[Q] Ext Sd card not found

Hi,
I'm currently using Task's AOKP Rom and after performing a TWRP nandroid backup to my external sd card.. My external sd card started having problems. When I rebooted back to AOKP it showed an sd card error in the notifications asking me to reformat.
I've used this 32gb sd card for 4 months, installing various AOSP and TW JB roms with no problems at all. Yes, I wipe and flash everything correctly. This seemed to just happen randomly. I plugged my phone into my computer and it only shows my internal sd card available. When I go to mnt/extsdcard in file explorer, it shows no files.
Does anyone know a way to get my ext sd card working again? I'd like to get access to my files.
Thanks,
Tom
Update: it must just be my ext sd card... I plugged it into an adapter and it's not reading on my computer. My 8 gb version works fine but my 32 doesn't read at all. Any suggestions or is my sd card fried?

[LG D855][CM 13] Issue with sd card and what ROM should I choose?

Hi everyone!
Today I upgraded from CM 12.1. something to CM 13 and got a kinda weird bug, where google play services kept crashing, so i reflashed the gapps, and got another bug where the starting presentation program (don't remeber the exact name of the program, "guided assistance" or something, the one you get at the beggining explaining how to set up your device) kept crashing, making it impossible for me to continue using the device. Decided to restore factory settings (clicking between a crash and another xD) and everything works fine, except the fact that I can't use my sd card any suggestions? Any other info needed?
Is there a marshmallow rom with a working sd card?
P.s. I just read that is a issue that the developers are aware of, but i can't find anyone complaining about this error (the sd card not working) in the xda CM13 thread
Thanks to all!
MicroSD card support in CM13 ROMs is borked - the only thing you can do is wait it out!

Does the current CM nightly that you're using support exFAT out of the box? The reason for me asking this is because on the 20151207 nightly, it was still complaining that the 'SD card is corrupted'.
FAT32 support for SD cards is fine on portable storage mode but when formatted as 'internal', people are still reporting problems as well.
I got that message as well but when I formatted I got my full sd card

If that is the case, then what file system is your microSD card using currently?
From what I can tell exFAT. My transfer speed was much faster then when I had to use FAT32. Is there an app that can tell me what format my SD card is?

Soorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the built-in format? Can I use an SDXC card from another Android device (Samsung Tab S) or this a special format option found only in CM-13/Marshmallow devices?

When you put a SD card in the phone on 6.0 it will ask if you want to format it. With 6.0 you can use it as portable storage or internal memory for more room for apps and such. I use portable storage but as of the last nightly I didnt have to format my SD card. CM fixed exFAT support in their latest builds.

Hey can you tell me your SD model? And filesystem? Just plug in your pc and see in the properties settings. Can you tell me your CM build?
Little update, I flashed Cloudy 2.5 and Gabriel kernel, thanks all
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard on your computer
3. Inset Sd card into PC with and adapter and/or card reader (NOT WITH PHONE)
4. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat) Be careful to only select the SD card
5. Place SD card into phone
6. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
7. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
8. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
there was a fstab issue with external sdcards, the fix has been merge already though.

MicroSD Card problem

Device: HTC One M8 Bell
Firmware: CM13 Nightly
Recovery: TWRP
Android Version: 6.0.1
Security Patch: April 2, 2016
So lets start it off like this, I had this 32gb lexar micro sd card that I have been using for quite some time. I decided it was time to get a new one so I went over to amazon and bought a well regarded 64gb patriot micro sd card to replace what I have in my phone. Once it arrived I unmounted the lexar micro sd and put in the patriot micro sd. I had this strange message pop up instead of it going oh hey lets set up your storage I got unsupported lexar sd card. I decided to tap on the notification and run the sd card set up stuff multiple times and just ended up getting errors that wouldn't allow it to be mounted. The phone is detecting the new patriot 64gb micro sd card as the old lexar 32gb micro sd card. I took it out and threw the card into my desktop system running windows and boom 60 gigabytes of micro sd flash detected everything came up fine it was partitioned and everything. So I decided maybe the file system is wrong and since I couldn't format in android storage settings anywhere until the card is set up I did it in the TWRP recovery where the card is fully detected and works fine. I can move files to and from it and everything without any issues but as soon as I go into android I get unsupported lexar sd card. After a while of having no luck at all I just decided to flat out wipe everything through recovery except the micro sd card and do a fresh android install and see if any system files in android were causing it. Here I am sitting in android with this brand new install with the message in notifications "Unsupported Lexar SD card" I have dug through system files tried wiping the cache for external storage. Nothing is working I have no idea. I really do not know what it causing this. Is there anything else I can try to see if I can fix this? Thanks.
Try formatting the SD card on your PC. Folks sometimes have better luck that way, than using the phone to format.
I have tried that already in multiple formats too, I ended up leaving it in fat32 since well that is the standard filesystem supported. I had no luck with anything I even reformatted it on my phone later with twrp because I thought the filesystem windows gave it was an issue. Nope it wasn't, I still have the same unsupported sdcard error. Something really weird though, I took out the new 64fb micro SD card that was having this issue and put in some ancient sandisk 2gb microsd that I have lying around, it worked fine. Android popped up with setup for the card. I still don't think something is wrong with the 64gb patriot microsd like twrp sees and and everything that it in it. Files can be moved around and so does windows just not android

"Fresh Android install" meaning what? Did you try a different CM nightly, or another ROM (like Sense)? Maybe just a bug in the particular CM nightly.

I reinstalled a newer version of CM 13 Nightly and before that I did an advanced wipe cleaning all partitions except for micro sd, usb-otg, sd-ext. I left the micro sd because it had the cm build on it. However yes I did also wipe the micro sd card card just earlier in the day, the problem still persisted once in android.
Have you tried a low level format ? and/or partition-table reset on your SD-card, it may fix it

SD card is always corrupted after 6.0 update.

My SD card is always corrupted. I tried using different SD cards even i bought a brand new SD card and it is still giving me issues . I did a factory reset and still does the same. Anyone else with the same issue?
What's the capacity and speed of your SD card? How are you formatting the SD card? Do you use it preformatted or format using the phone? The reason I'm asking is it seems to me that Sony has set a too low timeout values for formatting and mounting the SD card. So if your card is very big or not fast enough, the phone would timeout too early when formatting and/or mounting the SD card on boot, thus causing it to be detected as corrupted. At least that is how it seems on my phone.
perhaps have reset your phone from previous backup ? if this is the problem already happened to me ,
They are both high speed cards 10 cards Toshiba and Samsung to be more specific. When i format them they seem to kinda work at the beginning i even managed to copy a video file but after a phone restart it gets corrupted .
MM updated through xperia companion here, seems to be working normally with the old microsd card
Hi Team,
I also have the same issue here, whenever I move applications to SD card (Samsung Class 10), the application stops working and I have to
reboot the phone to have it running again. Though it happens only... when phone is from Doze mode, turned on the screen with power button, and after turning on mobile data and run the app like COC or Viber it crashes. Now this happens only, if my application is in SD, if it's on the phone it's working fine.
Hello everyone.
I also have this problem. I have a Sandisk ultra (red and grey) 32gb class 10 sd card, and my M5 on 6.0 cannot format it at all, first it says it's corrupted and I have to fix it, then the format screen is stuck on 20% and after a while it says the card cannot be formatted. The card isn't counterfeit, and it worked flawlessly in my m4. It was replaced under warranty because I presumed it became faulty, and I still have the same problem. There is no problem with it on my PC. Also the phone freezes when the card is removed and I have to turn it off with a paperclip on the small "off" button.
You have sd card restrictions on 6.0, so you can use it for media, can't move apps... I've got Transcend sd card class 10, no problem at all.
I know about the SD card restrictions but my card was working fine in 5.1 for storing photos and videos taken by the camera applications . Now i have tested even more cards and they all have the same behavior. Even with an 4GB and 8 GB Toshiba cards and an old 2GB transcend card.
tonev, how are you formatting the card?
On the phone it self. Also tried to format it on my laptop , Same result. Sometimes it works fine and after i restart my phone it gets corrupted again
any news or fix here? seems we're stuck with this sd behavior? can't really move apps to sd card?

Is it correct to assume that you restart the phone only using the default power menu and not using any third party interface?
Another thing, it is not advisable to format the SD card using Window's Format function. It is possible to damage the SD card this way. The safest way to format an SD card in Windows is by downloading and using the SDFormatter utility. I don't know if formatting you card in Windows is what has caused your SD card to be corrupted, but it is something to be considered.
Yes i do restart the phone only by using the default power button. menu. And none of my cards are corrupted because they work fine on other devices. As i said before a brand new never used genuine samsung SD card does not work on the phone.

Got lineage 17.1 android 10. Memory card after format is not usable. The phone cannot save to it. No error though for example for camera app set to store to ext mem.card. If that would not be all enough. Memory card will mess second SIM and can not connect to provider network. It seems that something keeps crashing (keeps trying to connect but no avail). Took off memory card and now been able to use two SIM cards for months.. A definite deal breaker.
