internal storage:
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm set-adoptable-storage true
## got success in getting option to format sd-card as internal storage. but still not able to format the sd-card as internal storage, getting java error
help please.

Is there a reason to think that the phone would support using SD as internal storage? I haven't heard of any recent phones supporting this, and I've seen some people on Reddit suggest that Google formally dropped support because it was too buggy. I don't have any sources to cite either way, though.

TWRP 2.3.3 - Can't mount internal storage

This is a SGS3 question for Sprint users using TWRP 2.3.3.0
Does anyone know how to do a mount on internal storage (/sd-card) using TWRP? If I go to MOUNT under TWRP and select Internal Storage, and click USB Mass Storage, it still keeps mounting /ext-sdcard which is the micro SD card.
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 QCom ToolKit v2.3 Drivers as all suggest.
USBview says its SAMSUNG HD204UI USB Device version 6.1.7601.17577 Mass Storage drivers. (if that helps :fingers-crossed
I was having this exact same issue, but I didn't have a SD card present. It never mounted the internal SD and default settings mounted a unusable CD drive and external storage (probably a place holder for the external SD card).
Are there any further requirements to achieve this?
I also had sideloading issues with both CWM and TWRP, neither worked to push to the internal SD

[Q] n7102 Low Phone Storage Space

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums so please go easy. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post about the n7102 because there's no section for this phone.
Basically, my problem is that I've recently run out of space on n7102. I cannot download more apps from the Google Play Store. I have tried using Lucky Patcher to remove bug fixes and also tried deleting dalvik-cache, but I think that fixes an entirely different problem.
My device has the following storage spaces:
Phone storage: 500mb
Internal storage: 2gb
External SD card: 16gb
For some reason, the phone writes to the external sd card where I store my media files. However, the internal storage is not even used at the moment. Right now, some apps are saved to the external sd card so my widgets take a while to load on startup. I think this might be because I wiped reformatted my internal memory card after i reformatted my external sd card through Settings > Apps.
I want to know if it is possible to:
1. repartition the phone storage (500mb) to include the unused 2 gb internal storage (total 2.5gb); or
2. swap these two partitions (phone storage 2 gb, internal storage 2.5gb)
I do not want to make a partition on my external sd card to extend my phone storage to use as data
I've looked on the web and this is what I have found:
- MT6577 2GB data repartition with int2ext: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914184
- Swapping internal and external sd card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716166
- Mounting /data partition onto the internal storage space: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648411
I've looked at a lot more pages concerning issues similar to this, but a lot of the time they use phone storage/internal storage/external sd storage, etc., interchangably. It can get quite confusing. I understand that android sees its internal storage and external storage space the same.
I've also read about the file "Mt657xRepartition_EN.rar" and wonder if it can be used on the n7102 without any problems.
Anyhow, thanks for reading this. If you can help, please do. I appreciate it. I only recently got this phone and have been tinkering with it the past few days. Before, I had been using an Xperia U that had 2 GB of phone storage vs the n7102's 500mb of phone storage so I have not run into this problem before.
Cheers.
[UPDATE] I am not sure but the two internal storage spaces may not be merged. I might have to try to use link2sd between these two for apps and save the external sd card for personal storage use.

[Q] Reset emulated internal storage

I have looked everywhere for a solution and have had no luck. I emulated the storage by selecting an option in a ROM install but it screwed up my storage. I can't even see my SD card (64gb) and my internal storage shows 11gb (supposed to be 16). I tried reformatting sd card, new recovery and nothing is working! Any help is appreciated.
For one the phone isn't going to have 16gb of storage unless it's an empty shell with absolutely nothing on it 11gb sounds about right for a clean ROM IIRC. I can't help you on the 64gb SDCard I'm assuming it's formatted as exfat? It was complete hit and miss on working for me and eventually my SDCard randomly stopped working (2 months old minimal use) if that's the case maybe try reformatting it as fat32 on your computer.

Mixed adoptable storage

Hi,
Anyone knows how to mount an sd card on the HTC 10 with one partition formatted as "internal" and the other one as "portable"?
I've followed the instructions publicly available for the S7 using the adb commands and "sm partition mixed", but as soon as I run the command the storage shows as "unsupported" and I have to re-format it.
Unfortunately Spotify doesn't support the adoptable storage model, so need to have both on my phone.
Thanks.

Can a microsd card formatted as internal storage be accessed outside the phone?

Hi
I had a microsd card formatted as internal storage in my LG G4 running CM 14, unfortunately I had to reflash stock rom due to issues I ran into upgrading CM 14. The sd card is now not recognized without being formatted (in PC or Phone), there is a lot of data that I had in there that I would rather not loose.
I am currently running a windows recovery tool called DiskDigger on it which is scanning for known file types, but is there a way I can mount this sd card?
Thanks
No, you can't
And since an external SD adopted ad internal is supposed to be encrypted I suppose that "normal" disk recovery utilities will be useless.
Sorry
