if it is simply the value you select for the partition of the SD memory is just that leaves you as an intern, if I let you select just 512 512MB of internal memory and the rest is passed to the external memory, in my case only came back to select memory 2gb and my phone back to normal, if you only have the same problem so if you have any questions add me at +0584243550544 whatsapp

Interesting problem after updating to an ICS build but I need to format my Xoom completely and start again from scratch.
Only problem is, unlike other android versions, there doesn't seem to be an option under storage to format either of the on-board SD locations. I've tried the factory reset option but storage is still showing all my files there.
The removable card isn't a problem, I just take it out, format it and re-insert but the internal isn't giving me an option to format at all as far as I can see.
Is there a hidden method of doing this or am I being a bit thick and missing the obvious?
Thanks in advance...........

I don't think they will let you format the internal SD, but I've found it strange that they don't let you format the external one...

Don't do it. If you form Sdcard from Xoom, you will destroy your Xoom...total brick. Sdcard is internal (hard drive, if you will) and if you format that you will delete all you system settings, bootloader, os, everything.
Just wipe your data and then flash a new rom, which will overwrite whatever you want to get rid of.
Indeed it's weird - any ideas about how to format the external SD card ?
I can't seem to find an option to format the external card from within the system.

Make sure you are running HC 3.2 or higher. Anything prior to 3.2 does not allow SDcard usage.
Format your external SDcard, in your phone first. Then with the Xoom OFF, place the formatted SDcard in the Xoom and power it up. (give it a few seconds to show up in storage on your setting menu.)
(I found that formatting it in the phone ensures proper function and a lot easier.)
As always; If this was helpful, give thanks!

Mjamocha, Hows that 64 GB sdxc micro SD card working out for you.
I ordered one last week on Amazon. Should arrive tomorrow.
Anybody? I really would love the option to start clean again, a wipe of the internal SD.
Would re locking and then unlocking the boot loader accomplish this?
You could do that, but only relock if you are completely stock, with the right files for your device. Or you can do a complete wipe in fastboot mode, but you'll have to search for the exact command.
Hey all, this is my 1st post; ive tried to swap my int sdcard/ext sd card with root external to internal app. It worked but when i go to tastk manager then storage it shows that the internal and external momeory have the same size which is the internal size. any suggestions how to fix this?

I think thats not possible in our phones. I have tried that too. Not worked.
Hello.
I have just wiped my device and installed the newest CM13.0 - Marshmallow (LG G3 D855). After rebooting and configuring my phone I got an information that my SD card is unknown. After pressing the notification the phone asked me if I want to use my SD card as external or internal storage. I read about this in the Web and decided to choose the 2nd option. The card was formatted (it was stucked at 20% for couple minutes and after that time progress bar disappeared - no information about success or errors). Internet said me to reboot my phone after the operation is completed.
Now I have a problem. External storage disappeared. I was expecting it to be a part of my old internal storage (about 10GB + 64GB of my SD). What I saw was still 10GB and nothing more. I tried to go to the settings and checked `Storage and USB`. I found my card but I couldn't check the size and anything (there was an information "Checking...", which didn't refreshed even after 2h of waiting...). I think my SD was FAT32, but I'm not sure.
Now when I put the card into my PC i see it has 16MB of size. I tried to format it with size adjustment into NTFS, exFAT and FAT32 - the size of 64GB came back but after doing factory reset and configuring everything in the same way as I described before, I get same issues (using all the file systems).
After all I got angry and decided to choose using my SD normally as an external storage. In this case I see my card and I'm able to copy data on it, BUT... It has size of 16MB... I'm tired of this and really don't have any ideas how to repair it. I don't care if it is internal or external storage. I want this to start working as expected.
Informations:
- LG G3 D855
- CM13.0 (cm-13.0-20151127-NIGHTLY-d855.zip (290.07 MB))
- MicroSDXC ADATA 64GB CLASS-10 (AUSDX64GUICL10RA1)
[EDIT - SOLVED PARTIALLY]
I have partially solved the problem. I noticed that this 16MB is just a swap space. Probably that's why Android saw it as a partition to use.
I managed to set my SD as an external storage. I used EaseUS Partition Master. I deleted all partitions on my card. Next I created a new UNFORMATTED partition (just a raw partition). Then I put my card into the microSD slot in my G3 and started the phone. I chose `external storage` option and it worked! I tried the same for internal but it hangs at 20% and gets an exception. So for now until they fix this, I will use it in the old way.

i cant say this will work, but if i had your problem i would clean off the rom and flash it again, and while in twrp before booting, format your sd card. if that doesnt help, i dont know what else to try.
i didnt know this storage option was added to cm13, but anyways, i would never use external storage as internal. ii have seen people try for years, and usually come back with some problems.

I just ran into this problem on a LS990 (Sprint LG G3) and your post gave me a lead on how to fix it.
I didn't have a microsd reader handy so I used adb shell while in recovery and deleted the partition with fdisk
1. opens ADB
Code:
adb shell
2. This shows you the partitions on your device so you can pick out your external sd card
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
3. mmcblk1 was my external sd card, yours may be different
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
4. P shows your partitions on the device
Code:
p
5. D deletes the partition on your selected device device
Code:
d
6. O creates a new empty dos partition table
Code:
o
7. N creates a new partition and I accepted all defaults
Code:
n
8. W writes new partition table to disk and exits fdisk
Code:
w
9. I then shut down my phone and removed the microsd.
10. Power phone back on. Once phone has completed boot, insert SD card and it'll give you the option to set up the SD card because it's corrupt. This time, choose portable.
**Note: I'm not an expert by any means and this may be completely unnecessary to go through, but this happened to work for me. Use at your own risk**
up any solution in 2016 ??
Hi,
so I have a really weird issue with my Redmi 6. As you've read from the title my phone's storage is broken and /boot is missing (or maybe unmounted).
Let me explain what happened.
So my bro needed 16 GB SD card for postmarketos (the SD card was in my phone) so I told him that he could have it. He had 4 GB SD card which wasn't enough for the postmarketos so he gave me the SD card. When I inserted it to my phone, MIUI asked me what to do with it. There were 2 options. Use it as external storage or extend internal storage so I selected extend internal storage. When the process was done, internal storage was unmounted... I tried mount /sdcard but it didn't work. Then I came across a video that has sm command in it and it was a partition management command or whatever. So I tried mounting internal storage, and it worked! BUT when I opened file manager it detected internal storage as USB. I literally have NO idea why (MIUI file manager detects it as USB but Google file manager detects it normally). I tried to fix it with the sm command, but I only made it worse... When I tried mixing the partitions I accidentally typed disks instead is disk (sm partition mixed disk"s":128,179 50). Then I think is started formating the partitions. I was lucky enough to cancel it, before it formats the whole /. It formated only the SD card and I think /boot. I don't think I can give any more info about what is did. I hope someone could help me.
Thanks for your time.

PS I don't have my phone rooted or unlocked bootloader or a custom ROM
Note: Everything happened when the phone was on
Please someone tell me a fix
I'm waiting almost a month and so far, no answer
Please, if you can, tell me a fix
Thanks
Hi guys I have an update that I reset my phone and everything works now!
I wanted addoptive storage and at the time I was waiting for my bootloader to unlock. So I used a tutorial that explains how to format the sd card as internal storage. I did it and it showed the sd card as internal storage but never worked. It was still the same way other than it saying it had more storage so I removed the card and formatted it as sd storage again but now when I go to apps setti g then storage the option the change storage is completely gone I have tried full wipe restart finally unlocking bootloader and reflasking the stock room and nothing brings the option back
I know I'm not the only one with this issue so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you so much for all your help...
I figured out how to use my sd card as adoptive storage and actually have it work. So I am happy to say problem solved.

How can you use the SD card as an internal memory?
I rooted with Magisk and downloaded root essentials and use the adoptive storage option so far its working great.
I have the 64gb model with 128gb sdcard i will include pics
By the way I still have not found a way to have the change storage option not sure if it is that my sd card is too big (thats what she said) or partitioning or what happened I had it appear once and lost it again. My ultimate goal was more storage but wouldnt mind knowing how to get this to work still if anyone here knows
I still really need VOLTE to work if anyone has any answers...
My wife has the redmi note 9 pro and her Volte it exactly the same non functioning with MIUI11
