[Galaxy S III General] Irony71:
The method mentioned in OP worked for me, using a macbook air with mountain lion and android sdk for adb installed.

After mounting the external sdcard in cwm and copying the files via adb I partitioned the sdcard (sandisk 64gb sdhx) with the inbuild harddiskmanager in mountain lion. You have to choose FAT (MS-DOS), it will choose fat32 automatically. After partitioning and formating the sdcard the card is recognized under cm10 and samsung firmwares.

OSX has no 32gb limit on fat32.
[Galaxy S III General] haroonie:
Oh man, I had already reformatted my sd card! I was taking pictures with a 64 gig sdxc sandisk in my canon and stuck it into my Android and got a damaged sdcard msg. I put it back in my camera and it was still damaged. stupid of me to do that because according to OP i could've recovered the card without losing data.

instead, i stuck it into my camera and reformatted it to exFAT (don't remember what it was before, believe exFAT also because my canon reformatted it). with nothing on the card, then took one picture with my canon.

i seriously thought i was SOL and couldn't retrieve my old pics until I discovered PhotoRec. PhotoRec did a sector by sector scan and recovered any pictures or videos it found.. i got lucky! supports many platforms, HTH someone out there!

PhotoRec

To recover your lost digital pictures or lost files, try PhotoRec.

While these instructions did not work for me, they did give me hope and direction to proceed in other directions.

I was unable to see any of the files in /mnt/extSdCard (which is where my 64GB sdcard is on my SGS3). A pull didn't work either obviously.

I put the card in my card reader, placed it in my Mac and then loaded "Disk Utility" from there was able to do a "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" to get the data back.
[Galaxy S III General] supertomi:
Could anybody give me a step by step solution to use such a card with cm10. I have reformated the card to fat32 And Windows can read and write it.

I can provide it via CWM and UMS to a Windows/Linux computer. But neither cwm nor cm10 can see it :(

Thanks in advance!

At least, can anybody confirm, that it works?

[Galaxy S III General] supertomi:
it works!

finally, I made it. I made a backup of my existing ROM, installed CM7, which is able to format and use a 64gb card and after that I restored CM10.

[Galaxy S III General] alquimista:
I have noticed one thing with my new sandisk ultra 64GB (class 10, u 1) sdxc, any tweaks to increase the speed of reading/writing to the card cause Titanium Backup to throw "Batch Backup interrupted: insufficient storage space".

I have 55GB free so that wasn't the problem. And the card mounted without errors, so that wasn't the problem. I had a hunch and disabled/removed SDcard tweaks with Pimp My Rom, and all is well.

I haven't run CM for a bit now, so I don't know if there are any SDCard IO tweaks built into the rom, but if there are, remove them.

A class 10 SDXC (u1) card probably doesn't need a speed boost anyway. ;)

NOTE: This also my be why some people are having problems with their cards dying very very quickly.

Hey guys, just wanted to add, I used this to format my 64GB card to FAT32 and it was recognized in CM10.1 with my S3 (I9300)

Apparently I can't link it, but it's called guiformat / guiformat.exe by Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd.

[Galaxy S III General] supabowlkc:
The F switch did work! The other folks were also correct in the sense that the computer will first say that the card needs to be formatted. DONT BELIEVE IT!!!

I need help for a similar problem....

Hi...I'm new around here....and i came across this post while searching for help for a similar problem i'm having....

I had bought a Transcend 32 GB Micro SDHC card to use with my Galaxy Ace a few months back....Galaxy Ace was slow in accessing the card so after a few days I switched over to an 8 GB card on that phone....no problems here....2 months back i got a brand new Galaxy Note 2 and inserted the 32 GB card and started using the phone...all fine...took a lot of pics...test pics, useful pics, business pics and family pics....backed up last a month back....a few days back the card stopped working on my phone....it was not recognised on the phone, in win 7 it asks for format....tried accessing it from Ubuntu, used 5-6 pro softwares...no good...card is accessible from these softwares....it says raw data structure and shows the card as 32 MB with no files to recover.....I'm new to all this technical stuff...tried the tips from ur post....ran my phone in debug mode....used adb commands but could not really find my way around....also I've not rooted my phone and am on stock ROM....

could u or somebody in this forum pls help me out....am desperate to recover my data...
[Galaxy S III General] sjoholm35:
I have the exact same problem. exact pretty much. I have tried using the abd pull method but it keeps telling me that I dont have an insecure boot img on my phone. I have gone through and loaded it to my phone through odin like it says, but it still keeps saying there isnt one. If anyone has any ideas to help either of us please share my card is full of my child's baby photos and im willing to try anything!!! Thank you to everyone out there
[Galaxy S III General] spearoid:
Thank goodness for this forum! I used the above technique....worked perfectly!

And I had tried using Acronis Disk Director to repair whatever had been damaged and I couldn't get it to fix the problem.

[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
ATTENTION GUYS:

THANKS TO THE OP FOR THE TROUBLE BUT THE BEST WAY IS THE ABOVE WAY.. FORGET THE OP WAY

WOW now that is what I call EASY... Took me 5 Seconds

Thanks... I was trying to figure out all these ADB commands and then Im like this is so annoying why did i even try CM.... So i scroll down and thank you to your post you made the recovery SO EASY.... Maybe this is what the OP should be... The ADB way is too complicated and alot more work involved
[Galaxy S III General] bigeagleqd:
Thanks a lot. You save my life.
[Galaxy S III General] SLver:
Yep that's the correct way THANKS A LOT, this must be on the first page...

and again THANKS A LOT :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] Focus909:
So would it be wise to use a partition progeam and format 64gb cards to Fat32 therefore not having to deal with lack of exFat support?
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
From what I remember you lose some storage capacity by doing that....but I'm no expert on these matters! :o
[Galaxy S III General] Focus909:
You would think you would only lose ability to save files over 4GB...
[Galaxy S III General] krishary:
worked for me in cm 10 thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] gollum17:
A minor details but there's no need to include exe on the end of adb. You can just type "adb command"

Flash CWM 6.0.1.4-JB then insert the card

Connect to Windows based PC ( Phone in CMW recovery mode )

Mount USB storage

Run CMD as admin in windows

Run chkdsk X: /f where X: is the drive letter of the corrupted drive

Thanks for the TIP buddy

I tot my card reached its lifespan so bought a new one, tried ur trick and it worked. I am on stock rom and no idea why my memory card suddenly can't be read after restarting the phone.

Tried formatting it with windows hoping to be able to use back the card but it failed. Don't know what made me try ur solution but now the card is working but empty, using recuva deep scanning to do recovery on it and hope to get back all the files ;|

Then again Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] KikiKamKam:
so ima be honest.. pretty sure this rom ruined my sd card

I'm on an unofficial cm11 build

64gb sd card, class 10

Can no longer write whatsoever

I can see the files, but can't change anything

Tried deleting, formatting 3 times with windows, recovery, and phone

Files will always come back

Can't even delete the sd card

Tried your suggestion, and check disk

As well as gParted and several other partition and format applications on windows

Suggestions? Is my sd card done?

It won't remove itself, or say anything about corruption

It just won't let me do anything

Sent from my DeathSCYTHE..

I'll see you in hell.. where the devil knows my name...

Hey guys please help me!

When Im in adb shell,and type /sdcard1 (thats my external 64gb memory location) it says Permission denied!

And I cant pull files from it,it says 0 files pulled. :( please help me!
[Galaxy S III General] D0MINO:
I found this simple method on another forum but have to second it. I was looking for ways to dd image the disk in windows then use a recovery program on it..but this took 3 seconds and now it's working again!

There is more info on this error (it doesn't just affect ExFAT it seems) here
[Galaxy S III General] ThePooBurner:
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was searching all over the web tonight looking for a solution and downloading utilities to scan the card at the low level to try and fix this. My entire evening was a waste of time. Running this took ~10 seconds and everything on my 64gb SD card is back and accessible. You are a life saver!
[Galaxy S III General] Bluecharge:
I have another evil problem due to TWRP (and of course my foolishness):

I wiped my external sdcard (exFat). It is so easy to check the last checkbox in the wipe dialog.... There is no second dialog as on the "format data", where you have to type "yes" just to erase only the internal sdcard!!! How sophisticated...

Now I would like to restore my data which were saved on the external sdcard.

First, of course I did not write anything on the sdcard since that happened.

I put the sdcard into the cardreader of my laptop and it shows a clean 64GB space.

Then I tried the data recovery programm "recuva", which recognized many files but no folder strukture. It copyed the files from sdcard to another medium, but all of them were corrupted and not useable although named correctly.

Now can anybody give me a hint what to do? What does the TWRP do when "wiping"? Can the content of the sdcard be recovered?

Thanks for any help,

Peter
[Galaxy S III General] mirhl:
Well, I wish I had known this sooner.

I'm not really sure if chkdsk could have fixed my case because I already fixed it otherwise... Certainly it was one important instance of "cm9 ruined a 128GB exFAT SDXC" card.

My solution was using testdisk.

It could only read the disk as non partitioned - but hell wasn't it recognizing the existing exFAT partition.

I just went eventually for the "boot sector recovery" (restoring it from backup superblock) and profit.

EDIT: just casually checked the dumps, it seems changing 52 52 61 41 58 46 41 54 to EB 76 90 45 58 46 41 54 is already enough to get at least the partition table fixed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamF77:
I've had the Galaxy S3 about 2-3 weeks now and running the latest stock firmware with nova launcher since the beginning but seem to have an issue with the home button. I'm finding when I'm in apps and want to exit them going back to the home screen by pushing the home button a lot of the time I'm having to press it twice, why is this? Is this a know issue? Could Nova launcher be causing this or even worse a hardware issue?

Sometimes it works fine but only usually after I've already double tapped it twice but comes back again after leaving the phone for a while. Can anyone shed any light on this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingo10:
Imho doublepush of the home button will cause Svoice to popup..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamF77:
You're correct however I'm not pushing it quick enough for this to happen. I’m literally pushing it realising after a second or so it's not returning me to the homescreen and then having to push it again & it works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingo10:
I tried a second delay and you are right, it wont pop up. Definitely something with rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamF77:
It's not popping up S-Voice which is the problem here, it's me returning to the homescreen from within apps, I push the home button from within an app to return to the homescreen only for nothing to happen hence why I have to push it a second time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamF77:
Just to let people know I've disabled S-Voice since yesterday evening and havent had the problem one so far! *touch wood*
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] star85:
This problem have been annoying me so much since I got this phone. I'm using Apex launcher btw. I'll try disabling S Voice and hope that works. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
No problem with mine. It works as intended.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimsj756:

I have the same issue...

I don't think it's only you who are having a problem.

Anyone any idea?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

I do have to say though...

Disabling shortcut (click home button twice to launch S Voice) makes the home button responsive a lot better.

You can try that...

[Xperia Arc General] ShockBuddy:
I just wanted to write something. ^^

It is really simple.

Requierements:

Root

Sony 2011 Smartphone (Works on all 2011 Devices!)

1.Download the CWM Auto Installer from the Play-Store.

2.Launch it

3.Touch the 3rd Option "Install CWM".

4.Proceed the Installation (Its simple, i promise!)

5.After it says on the 3rd Option: "CWM is Installed", Tap "Auto-Magic Nandroid"

If the App Crashes, just reboot your Phone, it should be run the Backup automaticly. (Else Reboot and press, on Arc S, the back butten while the LED is blue)

6...

7.Profit

Now you can enter CWM in the way i mentioned in Step 5.

And sorry (maybe) for my English, im German ^^

Happy Recovering

(Additional Notes)

You can spot the Backups in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

You are allowed to rename your Backup (For better indication, maybe), but not use Spaces and Special Characters.

Example: CWM_Backup_001_Android_4.0.4 or something like that (or ROM name)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drokr:
Hi, i had a i9000 with damaged USB port. So i'm not able to flash or any update... The phone got eclair 2.1... yeah.. really bad.

Anyway, the phone works great, but I have a problem with sound.

SMS and Calls notification sound works great, but system and media sounds not. Keypad sound don't work, games and apss sound don't work also Music Player. Power on and off sound neither works.

If I connect headphones, these sounds work perfectly.

If I go into *#0283# and select ANY option from the menu and minimize with the home button, I can hear ALL sounds from keypads, apps, games, also I hear a loopback from the mic (my voice and other sounds...)

I solved this problem a couple of days ago with a hard reset, but now, I try hard reset two times and nothing happens...

I try to put off the battery and try after 5 minutes... nothing happens.

Will the headphone jack, which goes wrong and the phone thinks I'm using it? I try to put on and off the headphone plug several times with no results.

I'm really confused with this issue, I was think that is a hardware problem, but the SMS and CALL sound works well, and with the audio loopback option all sounds work well...

Any idea?

Thanks!
