Format it, will be the way

Simply download the SD formatting tool from their web and format via the software that will 99.9% work.

brick Sdcard. Can i help me :( Pls...

Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

Phone Won't Read SD card

I reformatted my SD card that was in my phone a while back but the problem now is that is my phone will not read the SD card. It only shows the internal memory.
Maybe the SD card is damaged? Have you tried it on a different device?

Okay, most likely somehow your format got interrupted so I suggest to try formatting it again. If that doesn't work Mount it to a PC right click the SD cards partition and click properties then scan disk and post error results if there are any.
EDIT: sorry, didn't notice your upper post.
Not formatting through a pc might've been the problem all along, keep us posted.

Partition your SD card with CWM. Then it will work. It is not compatible with tools like Minitool Partition Wizard.
Yes it is minitool its compatible. I tried and work.
Btw, you cant format sd card while in usb mass storage. Try format using sd card reader if dont work, maybe u can have now a dead SD

App to format 64Gb Micro SD card?

Is there such an app? I want to format my 64Gb card so that twrp will recognize the files on it..I don't have a cars reader on my desktop computer or I would do it with software on computer...has to be able to format fat32..thanks friends.

You don't need an app to reformat your card. The best thing to do is this:
Put the SD card in your phone -> Settings -> Storage -> Format Card.
I believe it is always best to format your SD's in your phone so that you can ensure it is exactly what the phone wants and likes.
:good:

Thanks for the reply but in order for twrp to recognize the files on a 64Gb Micro SD you have to format to fat 32..I tried the way you suggested but still not working..twrp will open folders but doesn't see the files inside even though there are zip files inside...Rome. .backups etc.

Hmm that's strange. You may just need to reformat it via your computer to Fat32 then. However, once you're finished with all that you're trying to accomplish, make sure to reformat it inside your phone.

You don't need a card reader. Just put it in your phone and hook up the phone to the PC. The Note 4 is your card reader.
