Sorry dude, it has to be a micro SD card + reader. 1GB or less is preferred, but 2GB also might work.

I believe u can do it in yr laptop
Use a microsd to sd card adaptor ( those small things that sometimes come with it when u purchase a new microsd card
Use any device that can act as usb mass storage and read capabilities like an old phone that has its own power source but u need the usb to micro usb tip connector

Question
i have sd card + reader .. but dont have android phone or wm5.. is it possible to create goldcard without this stuff ?

yes,you need a Y cable

A standard SD card works as well. doesn't have to be a MicroSD

A USB drive is possible if u have a female to female coupler
but u still need the y cable

GoldCard and Homemade Y cable
I made my own y cable and used my Laptops sd card reader to make my goldcard.Used a 1gb sandisk card.There is tons of tutorials on Xda to help you along.Good luck.btw,my y cable has two female and one male ends.

OTG cable + USB MicroSD adapter = Win.

I got both of them for 99 cents each, now I can plug my micro sd card in, and mount it with StickMount by Chainfire in the Market.
Im sure most of you have the OTG cable, here is the MicroSD USB Adapter for 99 cents.

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but what can I say, im excited?

Or you could use something like this and cut out a step

There is no usb flash drive with a microsd connector ?

Concerning USB OTG storage

Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.
..............................
Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.

Thanks, u have photos?

Do you get a crash/reboot when plugging-in an OTG cable/adaptor

I bought an OTG adapter from china, it`s an microusb to an full size usb 2.0 port you plug your usb stick into it.
I have had an number to sudden reboots when i plug my Sandisk 16gb extreme usb 3.0 and an Sandisk 16gb usb stick
Both are formatted to Fat32 and have video`s on them.
Anybody else have this happen.
John.
