How to get 64GB SD working on Note?

Hello everyone
I have upgraded from 32GB to a 64GD SD card but its not viewable by the phone. When formatted to NTFS it can be used from my Windows computer. I would be happy to have it in proper Linux Ext2, 3 or 4 format. I store a lot of 250MB videos. No need for bluray rips.
I thought it would be a drop in replacement but its not. Anyone able to tell me how to get it working on Android?

Format it as FAT on your PC.
You'll be limited to max 4GB file size though.

Install 'ntfs mounter' to use your SD card in ntfs format

Cannot format nor mount SD Card

Suddenly my SD card stopped being recognized.
Cannot mount it, cannot format it under CWM recovery
I put in my laptop running Win 7 and I can see everything is on it. Still cannot format it even on Win 7. It says it is write protected.
Any ideas ?

Download Panasonic SD Formatter,
format with that.

Tried with Panansonic card formatter, but same message: Write protected !!
L.E.: Tried with another SD card .... everything is ok
The previous one is always reported as Write-protected no matter what I'm doing (valid while in Win7, 'cause the phone does not see it at all).
Anyway at least I still have my data on it and can read it on my laptop and transfer it on the other card.
If anyone has any idea on how to unblock the SD card will have a big THX from me

are you talking about an SD card or a MircoSD card?
*Some* SD cards come with a "lock" toggle on the card.
If you are using a standard SD card is the toggle in the lock position?

Talking about micro SD card, of course.
I know about that little lock toggle on the SD cards

Have you got it working yet? Since when did it stop working, and what did you do?

as stated in my first post, it stopped working suddenly, in the middle of the day.
It said "No SD card mounted" ... couldn't format it, nor re-mount it on the phone
I put it in my laptop running Win 7 and I could see all the data inside, can copy it, but cannot delete anything because it says it is write-protected.
Resolution ? changed the card with a new one .....then I just copied part of the data from the old one to new card.

Alright, that's weird, I hope no one else has this problem
I would hate this to happen to me, I bought a faster sdcard

You could try formatting it using diskpart in windows 7 or gparted in Linux

since I already bought a new card, which is working, and the old one still can access it's data, I see no reason to try and format it now.
At least knowing that it is blocked as write protected I'm sure that nothing can delete the data stored on it :laugh:

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.

[Q] Moving app data from internal sd to external

Hi! I have an 8 gb hummingbird, and I wonder if thete a way to move or even install apps or just some apps' data from internal sd to external one. For example, I installed Asphalt and now can't install Real racing because have about 500mb left.
Do I need to make some sdext partition on my sd? Basic sd swap seems like a little extreme and unreliable.
I'm running emmc cm10.1 stable.

You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4. I have flashable zips there that will swap the internal and external SDs. After you flash it and reboot all new apps data like those game files will get stored on the external SD.

And then I'll need to move all the data from internal to external?
Also "For these swap zips to work, your SD must be formatted to fat32. " I have exFAT 64gb card, so there's a broblem.
And finally does "A 16. Swapping Internal and External Media Storage" from "Nook Color Tips Thread" will work on NookHD?
And what about CWM backups and flahable zips then, how can I backup and install zips from external sdcard?

Yes, you must move old data from internal to external if you want it automatically available to apps.
You will have to reformat it to fat32. Use SDFormatter free on the web.
And no, that nook color technique does not work on the HD/HD+.
And the swap does not effect CWM. But CWM has an option to use the external SD (for both backups and flashable zips).

OK, SDFormatter formats only in exFAT, windows cant format volumes more than 32gb in fat32, so when I find right foematting tool I think it will be all.
Also CWM does not understand exFAT, so FAT32 will solve that problem too.

I'm pretty sure SDFormatter does fat32 unless the 64GB is causing a problem.
Edit: it doesn't.

I have Nook HD +. I used the swap sd card zip. It shows internal storage as ext sd card and my sd card as sd card in root browser. But when I download apps they are all going to my external sd card. Am I doing something wrong? I have stock 2.2 rooted.
Thanks

Isn't that what you want by using the swap? For downloaded items to go to external SD? They would go to internal SD without the swap.
They are only downloaded to external temporarily until installed, then they are put on internal.

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.

yeah, I was hoping that there was an app to do it because I dont have a card reader in my desktop..looks like I may just have to buy a reader. Ill post back afterwards with the results. Thank you!

In use use guiformat

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.

I just got a new 64GB sd card, formatted it with settings>storage>sd card>format, and twrp reads it fine. Did u fix rw permissions in /etc/permissions/protocol.xml?
