Yesterday, my phone overheats, thus shut itself down. When turning on the phone, it knows that a mSD card is inserted but it won't mount. The card use exFAT. I tried to insert another card to check whether it was the card or the phone, but the card also can't be mounted (it use FAT32). I thought somewhere in the phone, the mSD interface got busted. But then I tried to format the card using NTFS and amazingly, it did mount even if the size reported as 0! After that I tried to format the card using EXT4 and it works!
Now I know at least the hardware isn't busted, but damn, I want my FAT back. Tried to search the net and found no answer. Probably I need to reflash the ROM to gain the ability to use FAT, but I don't want to do it.
Anyway, it is just a rant. Right now I tried to format/partition my main card to EXT4. My only problem is I use windows and I don't think I can write to EXT4 partition from Windows, thus my plan is to copy the card to my HDD, format it to EXT4, then copy the data back from my PC to my phone. I might tried Linux on VM....
