I think this is more of an issue with motorola plus the phone isn't supposed to work with 64gb cards, my 32gb SDHC class 4 sandisk works fine. The 4.4.4 update from motorola is supposed to fix these SD card issues people are having and they released the 4.4.4 source.

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7e59cc7baf Not sure if the update will help detect SD cards in recovery though

[Moto G 4G Android Development] montresor60:
Thanks for the tip but my confusion was due to your stating that this TWRP is fully functional while confirming that the SD card is not recognised.

My 16 GB Kingston class 4 is recognised in the OS OK but not in TWRP. There doesn't seem to be any reliable method to reproduce this problem; to say that one card works fine in your phone does not mean that it will work fine in another - and I'm starting to lose faith that Motorola will fix this via a software update.

Imagine the sh**storm if they have to recall all units sold to date...

User asks if TWRP is fully functional. You reply that it is.

However, you stated that your card isn't recognised.

Therefore it's not fully functional.

I agree with [MENTION=3333955]NWKENT[/MENTION], this recovery is fully functional. Find an SD card that works and use it, otherwise move on, dont get stuck with semantics. This is a development thread.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Brian D:
I know I am not qualified to speak, but the phone supports 32GB, not 64GB. So with that in mind, I wouldn't expect my VW to drive like a Proche. I will just enjoy the VW, it is a fine car.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] BitingChaos:
There is no indication that the Moto G with LTE has a limit of 32GB, or even 64GB. Many phone manufactures claim their device supports "up to 32GB", yet nothing prevents someone from using a 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB SD card.

I don't understand the claim that a device somehow works with less than it actually can. Why claim it only supports 32GB if it is common knowledge that many people use larger capacity SD cards without issue?

Going back to car analogies, it's like a manufacturer claiming their car has a top-speed of just 60 MPH, when many users have no issue getting it up to 90 MPH.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] jmcollis:
As I understand it the SDHC card spec is technically only supposed to support FAT32 as a file system up to 32G. Anything larger is supposed to be ExFAT and will probably come from the manufacturer formatted for that. I am guessing that Motorola/Google don't want to pay Microsoft the license fee to use ExFAT and therefore won't support it hence the official statements. If however the hardware (meaning the SD specific hardware) supports accessing larger sizes it will be possible to reformat the card with FAT32 and use it.

The only thing to note with this is that the sector size that is used with FAT32 will increase with the size of the overall filesystem. This means that the individual allocation units that the filesystem uses will be larger and possibly less than optimal depending on the size of the files being stored.

Cheers,

John
[Moto G 4G Android Development] J0kker:
So, here a little feedback, now that my Transcend 64GB UHS-1 car is here.

At first it wasn't recognized under android, but after a format within android, problem solved.

Though, under TWRP, it doesn't work.

It's not a big deal for now, as we can backup and restore from internal.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] Brian D:
I cannot find it now but I read that the MicroSD slot had a limitation of 32GB. Now, IF that is the case and IF Motorola has indeed specified that that is the limit, then it is because it was tested as such and the use of anything higher would not be supported. With that in mind, if one puts a 64GB MicroSD card in the phone and it does not work properly, then that is just too bad. One does not have any recourse with Motorola or anyone else for that matter. But, if 64GB works and later it does not and all the data is lost, then we go back to the recourse statement. I truly hope that there are no issues with high memory cards.

Again, back to the car analogy. If the manufacturer's specs say top speed of 60 MPH, they have a reason for saying that. Sure, you can top it at 90 MPH, but do not expect the manufacture to make repairs if one exceeds the OEM specifications. Just saying, not arguing.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] NWKENT:
Moto*G 4G/LTE*& SD Card: what is supported

Moto*G 4G/LTE*supports microSD cards of up to 32GB. The SD card slot is located under the removable back cover. Larger cards can be used in the product, but will require a reformat on first insertion. The Moto G 4G/LTE SD card support is based on Android 4.4 Kit Kat, with a few improvements unique to Motorola:

The key words gentlemen..from Motorola.."up to 32GB"..

Anotherwords..any "GB" above that..your on your on..with no grounds for complaint.!

[Moto G 4G Android Development] J0kker:
That's just a way to say that cards larger than 32GB should work, but are not officially supported.

I've tried with 16GB and two 32GB class 10 card (sandisk and transcend), and 64GB uhs-1 card.

The only one working in the recovery is the 16GB.

The two 32GB don't work, in the booted phone it says "card empty" and no card present in recovery.

They may work under android OS if i format them like i did with the 64GB, but i can't (to be honest i don't want to spend some hours tranfering datas of and then back on as i use them in my gf phone and tablets... but if a dev says it could help find out what's wrong, i will take the time.).

So, for now, i'm running with my 64 gb uhs-1, and i keep the 16GB one under the back cover of the phone, if i need to backup or restore, i switch the cards.

Of course it would be better if all cards were working, but for now, i'm pretty happy with this recovery, and thanks again for that.

:good:
[Moto G 4G Android Development] NWKENT:
Seems very reasonable and a good plan..

:)

I do have three 32GB that function flawlessly "under the back cover" in this TWRP version and also in OS..and both of my 64's function perfectly in OS but not there in TWRP..I can certainly live with that..just pop off the back cover..switch cards..and ready to backup and restore with my 32's..then switch back to 64gb..then boot from TWRP into OS..no big deal..I'm very greatful to have this working version of TWRP..

Or..I can backup/restore with either of my cards, 64 or 32 via OTG-USB with this TWRP version..

For what it's worth, I'm running a Kingston UHS-1 64GB card formatted in FAT32 and it works in both recovery and the stock Motorola ROM. I tried USB OTG with a 64GB Lexar stick (USB 3.0, not that it makes a difference here) and it also works fine.

Unless you have some additional data that can help out debugging, such as logcats with known relevant errors, or recovery logs with same; there's not much I can do about this issue for the time being.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] J0kker:
Just curiousity but, how did you format it ?

I mean, within windows utility, android, or any advanced tool ?

I find that strange that both my two class 10 32GB cards (which are working on any other device) aren't working...

Did anybody ever tried to create more than one partition on the micro sd card ?

I'm just wondering what it would do (probably the phone would just recognize the first primary partition, but i'm a curious guy :D).

I'm off for the day, but i'll investigate more in the next days, maybe with a special tool like the ones we use to format bootable usb disk, it can change something.

Have a great day all, and even with these incompatibility, i still love this phone :good:

Awesome..that's nice to know, at least we know it is possible at this point, that a 64gb will work internally with this version of TWRP..just gotta get the right card and format..THANKS

Could / would you be more specific as to exactly which model 64gb card you are using..I have researched and come to find out, there are many different models, even MFG of a Kingston 64gb as you mentioned, I have posted a screen shot of only a couple, but there are many more, if take notice, one is made in China, the other in Taiwan..could / would you maybe post an exact one of your model, maybe a picture, I would like to purchase the same model as yours, I plan to order another XT1045 next week, and wish to order a known good, in TWRP 64gb for it..this is not exactly the correct thread to post this, but kinda sorta is also..maybe a future update (moto) will rectify all this uncertainty.. lol

Mine is the SDCX10/64GB, package says "Assembled in Taiwan". Caution, the third one is a "full-size" SDXC card and not the micro one you're looking for.

I'm coming from Samsung devices to the Moto G 4G LTE xt1039 peregrine.

Rooting, installing recovery went smoothly, thanks to XDA contributors.

/utags emmc /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/utags flags=backup=1;display=utags
/persist emmc /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist flags=backup=1;display=persist

/sp emmc /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp flags=backup=1;display=sp
/cid emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 flags=backup=1;display=cid

data, system, cache, recovery, boot,... are obvious.

Google and XDA told me what pds is.

But I've been unsuccessful finding info on the other ones.

What's their use ? Are they worth to backup/restore, as they are in the list of backup-able partitions in TWRP ?

Any light on this will make me sleep better :laugh:
