64GB card problem

Very late to the party but I just bought a 64 GB card(Strontium).

It's working in laptop with SD adapter, in phone it is saying Damaged SD Card asking to format it.

When I'm choosing format option from notification area, it reboots and same thing.

In setting->storage external card options are greyed out.

Help!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dontremember:
I think 64Gb cards are typically formatted with exFat, which is a new proprietary filesystem format from Microsoft. CM11 supports it, but I don't think other ROMs do. Dunno why it would cause your phone to reboot when formatting. Since you're formatting the card anyway, why not do that in your laptop??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwyx1:
Yeah no problem with formatting it in Laptop.

What FS I should format it into- FAT 32?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dontremember:
My phone formatted a Transcend 64Gb card without a problem, as VFAT. I guess FAT32 would be equally good. I don't care enough about Windows to be very familiar with the difference between the two formats. I'm sure someone else will be along soon with more precise advice :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwyx1:
Solution

This is how i solved it:

1. Format it in fat32 using guiformat.Windows command wont work, would say failed after 99%, your 1 hr wasted.

2. Use SDFix to make SD Card accessible to apps(before benchmarking tools were not able to see it)

I'm getting 45.6 read and 18.6 write speeds in MBPS, I hope it's OK. I have strontium UHS-1,64 GB. I am using A1 sd bench.

How to enable the option of moving apps/games to SD Card, would link2sd work?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dontremember:
Sorry, I don't have enough apps/games to need moving any to the card.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] kwyx1:
Now my phone won't show up when connected to USB, but USB tethering works flawlessly.

Any ideas, I am using windows 8?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mkfryan:
Does anyone have any tricks for external SD to fully function? Power amp, solid Explorer, es file manager can see the card but all fail when trying to copy or move or open anything from external, I am however able to use root browser from root toolbox.

I have paid for solid Explorer and like the way it functions otherwise I would just deal with root browser.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ewcrider:
For me, microsd mishaps were a permissions issue. In system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, modify the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission cluster to be:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mkfryan:
Thanks for the advice but still no dice it was already that way without the media line. I did add that. I'll grab a logcat

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeanutTheGuru:
Hey guys, I've been lurking pretty hard the past couple days and can't find a thread that addresses my question, so here goes:

I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire that I don't sue and wanted to put a ROM on it. I grabbed KFU v0.9.6, used the install drivers bat, then I believe I ran permanent root with superuser and TWRP recovery install. This all worked, I used TWRP to create a backup, restored my kindle to factory, and then I put the latest Cyanogenmod rom on it and installed that. This is the point that I'm at now, where I can start my kindle and it boots, but I can't get into recovery mode (I didn't install FireFireFire because I didn't know what it was) and so it boots from the kindle logo to Cyanogenmod, where it hangs as long as I keep it powered on. I've tried reinstalling drivers and running KFU in hopes I can get adb shell to recognize it, and although it does say it's "Online", the boot status is unknown, so it isn't able to reboot it, and adb shell just doesn't recognize it, although adb devices does.

I hope that all made sense, let me know if I need to elaborate on anything or post any screen shots, as I'd be glad to, I just don't know what you need. I'm hoping I haven't bricked it, and that there's some way to get the kindle file system recognized or something, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.

Thanks for the help, and again feel free to ask for any sort of info/screenshots.

(Windows 7 x64, Kindle Fire 1st Gen, KFU v0.9.6)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_verystock:
Never Mind
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpest:
Try KFUBU.

I believe that its not bricked. Try using Kindle Fire Unbrick utility. Pretty neat and easy to use..

I think you should have installed FireFireFire and used the latest KFU, though. Just an opinion.

Anyways, try out the Unbrick Utility. I can't post links here as I'm a new member!

Hit "Thanks" if I helped!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeanutTheGuru:
Yea, that's what I figured. I think I had a tutorial from when KFU didn't need firefirefire? I could be making that up. Anyway, thanks for the idea, I'll hopefully try that in the next hour, otherwise I'll be back in a week since I'm gonna be out of town.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilan.ts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II plus running 4.2.2. Most of my apps are installed into my internal memory which shows up as my emulated sd card even though I have a 16gd class 10 sd card. I understand this is a Samsung design feature. I have two questions.

1) Can I install apps and save or download directly into my sd card without rooting my phone?

2) If I root my phone nd don't change the OS, would I still be able to update my phone according to Samsung OS updates?

Any help is appreciated. I'm having a tough time updating my apps as it says that I dont have enough memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
OK, I've been running CM9.x (Team Acid) for quite some time, and successfully using an external GPS unit over Bluetooth with it and my other location-based apps. Yesterday, Google Maps seemed to believe I was on Christmas Island -- no kidding. I thought an Easter Christmas Egg at first, but it is pretty much stuck in that unique location.

Has anyone else seen this?

Any helpful suggestions? (No, "Wipe your phone, re-install from scratch, and don't restore any data," is not a helpful suggestion.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Hah! That is awesome and sad at the same time.

Could you add logwrapper to the gps service and see what you get?

init.herring.gps.rc:

...
service gpsd /system/vendor/bin/gpsd
...

Change to:

...
service gpsd /system/bin/logwrapper /system/vendor/bin/gpsd
...

and stdout from gpsd will go to logcat.

Also interesting would be to get strace output when "strange" behaviour happens.

But we'll cross that bridge later.

Try logwrapper and see if you get any good info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
...

Although, I have to say... testing with both your original data, and from scratch tests both cases.

Would you be willing to backup with twrp and try from scratch just to verify?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Glad I've got a hook in to modify the initramfs on the fly...

More seriously though, I'll get the gpsd logging as well as Maps. Strange that other location consumers work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Buchez:
I've been curious about how the Bootloader is locked down and why it's so difficult/impossible to unlock. How does the mfg get the initial load onto the device when it's manufactured?

I read that this bootloader has some 2048 encryption and that it's impossible to crack. However, I feel like there should be a way to alter the systems firmware from a PC or some kind of connection to the device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
The way I read it somewhere is this,

There are efuses built into the processor/motherboard/memory/whatever that the new bootloader "blows" when it is installed. These efuses are necessary pathways for the older bootloaders, hence why they won't install. I don't believe the new bootloader is "locked" per say, it just prevents earlier versions from being installed. There is also a guide somewhere on these forums to recover your device from a brick if you tried to downgrade the bootloader. The new bootloader also doesn't prevent you from installing earlier roms, as long as they are flashable from recovery. Just do not try to use Odin to revert to an earlier rom. That's what causes the bricks, and although there is a procedure to recover, it doesn't sound easy and you end up back on MJB when you're done anyway. Hope that helped.

To whoever wrote the original post I referred to above, my apologies for not giving credit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Buchez:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty solid with flashing ROM's and such. I have been wondering if it would be possible to use a regular PC and some cool software to reset or reformat the firmware on the system.

Here is a link to the article I was reading:

http://rootzwiki.com/news/att-locks-down-its-galaxy-s-iv-bootloader/

Say I have brand new S3 hardware right off the factory floor. How does that system get injected with the software? When the factories get damaged or "Bricked" units back and refurb them, how do they do that. I know that you can use the SD card trick to jump your phone back to life, but there has to be some master way to do this
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ripin150:
I don't have an S3, I'm on the S3 section because my mom broke her phone, so this is speculation based on when I owned an Optimus G:

There are qualcomm tools that can fix a lot more than Odin and Fastboot can, apparently, and manufacturers have access to those. When I had an Atrix 4G someone told me they replace the entire board when eFuses are burned incorrectly, but that sounds really expensive. Anyway, just my 2 cents, i'm out~

I just bought a 2gb sandisk sd card

it is recognised by the magician but each time it switchs to stand by mode the "memory card" file disappears...So I have to take it out and to insert it again (two times) in order to see it again.

Is it normal ? or there's a problem with this card ?

thanks

Good to read, Storage to the people!

Take a look @ the card params too. Somehow a magician communicates better with a fat(16) card than fat32.

Have fun, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] wiecz_m:
thanks for your comment...

I can only format the sd card with the magician because i don't have a sd card reader for my PC. But with the program I use (FORMAT) I cannot choose FAT 16 or 32 - do you know a soft to do this ?

Hope that helps.

ok my card reader on my laptop and my S100 must talk a different dialect of SD card because no matter what I do they can't work together.

If I format the card in my S100 and copy files via activesync the laptop reports the card as unformatted.

If I format the card in my laptop and copy files on my pocketpc can't see them.

Hi I just got my sandisk ultra II 2GB SD Card and at first it worked fine.

Magician recognized it as 2GB then i copied some files from my computer with my SD Card Reader. But after inserting the card into my magician i got some weird looking characters, files, and folders. So I inserted it again in my SD card reader and formatted the card. After that my pc and my magician doesn't recognise the card as 2GB anymore just 1GB .

[LG Optimus G Pro] DonS:
So I dropped my phone onto a tile floor and the screen shattered. The phone still works, but there were sharp edges exposed on the cracked glass. So I put some packing tape over the screen to hold the pieces from falling out. The phone still works, but really looks like a wreck with a shattered screen and packing tape.

Has anyone replaced a cracked screen on this phone? Are there any good links to show how its done? I believe the glass and digitizer are separate from the LCD, so how do I tell what parts I'll need?

I also found an LG G Pro E-980 on CL that has a corrupt EFS folder pretty cheap. There is a good chance I cannot restore the EFS folder since he doesn't have a backup. I could use the phone for parts. It really depends how much the parts will cost and how difficult it is to swap screens.

Please visit his thread and thank him for his work, he is the original developer behind this fix i just rewrote it for use on HTC devices.

Google Services Framework Fix (step by step instructions)​

This will fix Play Store issues​

MAKE A NAND BACKUP OF YOUR NON WORKING ROM​

STEP 1: Restore a working backup (one you know play store worked on)
STEP 2: Download a windows android file browser (I recommend Android Comander)
STEP 3: Connect your device to your PC, Open the android file browser
STEP 4: Browse to /data/data and locate "com.google.android.gsf"
STEP 5: Copy the folder from STEP 4 to your sdcard (remember this location)
STEP 6: Restore your non working ROM from in recovery, Reboot
STEP 7: using a root explorer (or the windows android browser) locate the folder from STEP 5
STEP 8: Copy the folder from STEP 5 into /data/data make sure you choose to overwrite the folder and files
STEP 9: Reboot (You must reboot first, do not immediately try to open play store)
STEP 10: Once rebooted test Play Store, Google Plus and Hangouts all should work fine.
