So a while back I flashed Cyanogen on my Motorola G 2015 just to test and see what's up. Today I went back to stock rom, rooted and modified the heck out of it. I followed the popular XDA fastboot flashing method POST and got the "official" stock rom from this thread (It said modified in the bootloader after I flashed it 100% correctly, BEFORE I started to root and mod it myself, weird huh?) So back to the problem. My partitions are completely messed up now. It's not what it was before (I think). The Internal Storage is mounted on two separate points and my SD card gets mounted as something wierd. Here are all the screenshots you need. Please tell me how to make it normal again.
Somehow here it looks like everything is fine.

YET if I format it as adoptable storage, ie. as internal sd card I can't even find it, nor can any app detect it. (But I can actually use it to put apps in it via the storage options)
First lets see the vold.fstab file
I've never seen something liket this.
my /mnt/ folder
I found my SD card partition in /mnt/media_rw with a weird number FC36-1DFE.
Here is my SDCARD1
500mb, nice partition. Much wow
up until now this is all in INTERNAL STORAGE the only EXTERNAL ( MY 32gb sandisk microsd) with the weird number FC36-1DFE is the next screenshot
When I moved these screenshots to my SD card from my internal, my pc doesn't even see them. and if I try to move from internal to sd via PC, it just doesn't work (SOME TIMES).
???????????????
Finally the illusive internal storage !
but this is where the fun part actually begins
Here is the same damn internal storage in a different directory
Storage folder
I might be over exaggerating, cause I'm new at this. But I have major problems with my sd card and internal one, some things don't work right, and all this that I saw and screenshot looks dodgy as hell and not quite right. Or maybe everything is fine and I'm a retard? You guys be the judge, please help or explain what the hell is going on. :crying:
If this is normal please say so in a reply, if not, guys please help. Bump.
It sounds normal, maybe it's just how the root browser is picking it up. Back when I had formatted my SD Card as internal storage, it also had the weird name of yours, like FC36-1DFE, but only different. I'm sure it works just fine, but a way you could test is to install an app and then unmount the SD Card, and check if the app is inaccessible anymore.

Same here. But apps(even root apps like Titanium Backup) are unable to write to the SD card. When I use TB to try to back up to the SD Card, it says directory is not writable.

There is an easy fix for that, make Titanium Backup folder on your SD card, go to the app then menu, then preferences then backup folder location, select storage provider, document provider storage, now if you have the stock explorer as default select the 3 dots on the upper right and select show SD card then select the 3 lines on top left, select your SD card then press select on your bottom right side, now select the Titanium Backup folder u made and restart the app.

Try to go to root explorer, find your SD card mine is storage/bunch of numbers... long press your SD card folder in /storage and press 3 dots on upper right then press permissions, press octal and then insert 771 then press OK and try again with what I wrote I last post.

My SD card is not formatted as internal and it shows with those numbers.. The problem is that when I do format it as internal storage it disappears for apps instead of being the only one showed like before, since in MM when you format your SD card as internal the internal storage disappears and not the other way around :/

Can I download Bard's Tale? Wild Blood? How do I move apps to my SD card? I have seen this question several times, and all those times no one could give a clear answer. So I decided to post a thread on this. In this thread I will explain how to use two great apps capable of moving your apps and app data to your external SD card. Link2SD by Bulent Akpinar and Directory Bind by slig. Even though there are many other solutions, these two work the best and are very simple to use. With these apps you will be able to play games that you would have never been able to download in the first place. You will also be able to save almost all of your internal storage for emergencies such as forgetting your SD card at home.
Link2SD
Requires: 2 partitions on your SD card Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a 2nd partition on your sd card. Preferably ext 3 or ext 4.
This solution will only free up your internal storage by moving apps NOT their data to SD card. It is useful as many apps don't have any data, small games such as Angry Birds and Battleheart don't actually have data separate of their directory. Unlike large games like Real Racing.
Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en"]Link
Once you downloaded the app on your device the process is fairly easy.
1. Insert your SD card into the phone (properly partitioned as specified above)
2. Run the app and specify what partition you have created as your second partition
3. Once Link2SD checks and mounts your card reboot (this may take a while as the second partition will have to be mounted)
4. Now just go to the app and select several or one app that you would like to move to the SD card, press create link and that's it
Note: Every time the SD card is removed from your phone you must restart the phone
When upgrading your ROM all apps will be saved but LInk2SD will have to be launched to restore the apps
Keep LInk2SD on your internal storage not SD card; you don't want to be stuck with out all of your apps for this mistake

Directory Bind
This solution will not actually move apps to external SD but only move their data (ex: data that is downloaded in big games like Real Racing and Modern Combat) Directory Bind will allow you to either move the data you already downloaded on your phone (which wouldn't be much as the phone only has 1.4 GB) or just download the data on the external SD by it self. If you are planning on using this solution with Link2SD make sure to leave a decent amount of space on your 1st partition as this will use the 1st partition of your SD card.
Download and more Information on this developer thread
Organize your SD card:
1. Navigate to your external SD in Root Explorer
2. Create a folder called "Android"
3. In Android create "data"
4. This is where game data will be kept from now on
Using Directory Bind:
1. Open the app and press the settings key
2. Add a new entry
3. In "enter storage path" navigate to your newly created folder on the External SD
4. In "mount (target) path" select the data on your internal SD card (usually /sdcard/Android/data)
5. DON'T check transfer files
6. Click Add
7. Now again click the settings key and tap on Bind Checked
8. There you go now you can go into any big game and download the app data and it will be saved on your External SD
If you have already downloaded the game on your internal SD:
1. Create an identical empty folder (ex: com.rockstar.gta3ger) of the game you want to transfer in the data directory of External SD
2. Follow steps 1-4 but now navigate to the folder of the game you want to transfer
3.Check transfer files and click Add
4. Bind the files and now your game is on External SD
After a Reboot (Auto Binding doesn't seem to work for all apps):
1. Add a new entry
2. Select the games identical folder in both storage and mount paths
3. DON'T transfer data
4. Click Add
5. Bind checked
Note: Games will run slower of your SD card
Every time you reboot your phone the process of binding will have to be repeated otherwise the game will ask to download data
I suggest unbinding directories when not in use as this will help save battery
Big thanks to the developers of both apps!
Thanks for taking the initiative and putting something up like this
The only thing I'd object to is posting the binary directly in this forum. Can you change that to a link to the right place to download?

Hello everyone,
First of all, I created a new thread yesterday to ask my doubts about stock firmware flashing, and now I am creating this new thread...I know I should not create threads constantly like this, but I dont by any mean to spam...this is the question I stumbled upon now while taking a backup with ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.2 on my Galaxy R and as this is not much related with flashing stock firmware, I created this new thread...Moderators please, please don't consider it as spamming...
Now to my question,
Here is all I came accross since last month...I rooted the device by flashing ardatdat's rooted kernel on my device using ODIN. Later I also installed ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.2 on my cell using ODIN. Then, I backed up the device using CWM. The backup procedure was completed successfully. After reboot, I faced a seriously low sdcard storage space. Unable to find and delete the Backup files, I uninstalled some big space consuming games and then moved on...
Yesterday, I decided to flash ICS stock ROM on my cell, asked on XDA about that, some of its replies suggested me to take a CWM backup instead of just Titanium Backup. So, even though I recalled my condition a month ago, I took the backup again. Before backing up, there was 0.99 MB/3.75G space available on USB storage (which I believe is /sdcard). Guys told me that backups are stored in external SD, so I need not worry about SD card space. External SD had 5 GB of free space. I ran CWM Backup, and rebooted the cell.
After reboot, It again showed critically low USB storage space... (3.73G/3.75G) and I wasn't able to open gallery,camera and music player due to lack of free memory.
I decided to find whereever those big backup files are!
I connected the device to laptop using USB storage connection, and then opened the /sdcard folder of it. It had a 'clockworkmod' folder, but it was empty. On my external SD card, there wasn't any folder named 'clockworkmod'.
Then, I decided to copy all the /sdcard folder to my laptop. I am running Ubuntu. While copying the folder, it gave the error in copying file from source path : '/media/8619-BFA/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/2013-01-27.05.36.29/system.img' and the phone's USB connection mode got closed automatically!
That was one of the backup files I was trying to find...and now I got their location : '/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup'
Please note that '/external_sd' folder was not related to my External SD card anyway, It was simply a folder in my /sdcard/ path. And while browning the /sdcard on phone, the external_sd folder was used to show me my External SD card files!
Now, I can see the backup files in /sdcard/external_sd folder when viewed from my laptop, but /sdcard/external_sd shows my External SD memory card files when viewed from my cell file explorer.
Any attempt to copy the backup files in /sdcard/external _sd when connected to laptop results in disconnection of USB connection mode...
Please help...thanks a lot!
Sorry for being rude.
Modified post
Buddy what do you exactly want.
Do you want the backups or.what?
Delete them via PC if you dont need them.and be done with it?
Why do.you want to copy them??
Install ICS..it will be simpler for you.
Trust me.
Plus one strict warning.
DONT ASK SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY MAKING THREADS.
WE SEE AND ANSWER YOUR POSTS.
WE KNOW THE LEVELS OF PATIENCE CROSS LIMITS WHILE FLASHING SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND!
WE REPLY..WE ANSWER..WE HELP.
NOTHING GETS AWAY UNANSWERED.
AND BE BRIEF..MOST OF US STILL DONT KNOW WHAT DO YOU WANT.
U can delete it using ur mobile or pc. Just choose ur backup location. And delete it.
BTW, there is no need to create a whole thread when we have q/a sticky thread. I have seen that ur also asking questions in other thread regarding the same issue. Buddy, pls b clear while asking the thing instead of whole big story.

I wanted to take CWM backup before flashing anything on my cell...but as the backup was eating my sd card space, I first wanted to know where the backup files are...
Anyways, I found them. Clockwork mod made a new folder named external_sd in my /sdcard, and created backup files there, instead of actually creating them on my external SD. So, I unmounted the external sd from settings, and then I was able to see the backup folder in /sdcard/exernal_sd.
I told the whole story because I wanted to make sure I don't miss anything important while explaining, sorry..
I would be thankful if I get to know any way with which the backups will get actually written on my external sd card and not on the external_sd folder in my internal memory only!

I have... I have 5 GB space on external sd...
But I think the thing is...CWM is not detecting my external sd and it is just making a folder named external_sd and storing the backup files in the internal memory itself...
Do I need to manually mount the external sd card in CWM or something similar so that it will detect it??

Yes, the place where the backups are is same as your image,
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
But, they are not actually on external memory card...its just a folder named external_sd....but it is actually on my internal memory only!
Whenever I mount my external memory card, whatever I see in the external_sd folder is the contents of my external memory card...which doesn't have a clockworkmod folder.
Whenever I unmount my external memory card,what I see in the external_sd folder is above path and the backup files...
This is the image when I mount the external memory card...

Using ES Explorer (just use to this from back in the day, if someone knows a better file explorer I'm all ears) I have a file I downloaded via Chrome browser and it downloads on internal storage in download folder. I try to then Move this downloaded file to my external sd card and get the same error I would on day 1 of this device completely stock.
Am I missing something here? I have S-Off, supersu.zip flashed via cwm recovery installed so have full root, and even went a step further and flashed the unlocked stock kernal for full write access???

Also, in a perfect world I want everything I do such as downloads and screenshots taken go to my external sd card, not internal. I now have the HTC stock internet app and in settings I have it set for downloads to go to external sd card. Does this work? Haven't tried it yet.
Anyway to get screenshots I take to save in external sd card? Basically only thing I want installed on internal storage is apps I download and obviously tweaks and what not. Don't want to waste internal space with what can be saved by default to my 64gb external sd card. Appreciate any help on any of the above, thank you.

Someone pointed out a root app free in playstore called AFFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. I guess it overrides all the Kit Kat permission to allow ANY app to install on external sd card and I then assume move files from internal to external and vice versa? My only fear is with all I have installed already (s-off, full root, cwm, unlocked kernal) I just don't want to install tweaks that override one another and screw up my device?
Trying to be as safe as possible here with what root tweaks and exposed stuff I install. Would u then just recommend the exposed tweak?
I'm in the same boat and so far I've had no issues. You can always uninstall it if it gets wonky.
I apologize stupid me getting ahead of myself. Duh, I'm not using a root explorer. I downloaded root explorer and was able to move zip file from internal to external no problem. Just asked for SU to grant and then did it. Geez, little slow today.

Xposed works perfectly to enable write to external SD. If you've never used Xposed before here's the Tutorial Thread for the framework (modules have their own support threads and Q & A threads): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Download the XPosed framework installer, open the app.
install/update the framework, select cancel when it asks you to reboot (So you don't have to reboot twice)
navigate back then tap "Download" for modules. You should see the module "Handle External Storage or you can just search it.

Check the box for the module
Reboot now everything should work.
And the best file explorer for me is FX file explorer. Just an incredible UI in my opinion. File movement happens in the background so you can keep working. My favorite file manager hands down.

Using ES Explorer (just use to this from back in the day, if someone knows a better file explorer I'm all ears) I have a file I downloaded via Chrome browser and it downloads on internal storage in download folder. I try to then Move this downloaded file to my external sd card and get the same error I would on day 1 of this device completely stock.
Am I missing something here? I have S-Off, supersu.zip flashed via cwm recovery installed so have full root, and even went a step further and flashed the unlocked stock kernal for full write access???
Also, in a perfect world I want everything I do such as downloads and screenshots taken go to my external sd card, not internal. I now have the HTC stock internet app and in settings I have it set for downloads to go to external sd card. Does this work? Haven't tried it yet.
Anyway to get screenshots I take to save in external sd card? Basically only thing I want installed on internal storage is apps I download and obviously tweaks and what not. Don't want to waste internal space with what can be saved by default to my 64gb external sd card. Appreciate any help on any of the above, thank you.

I apologize stupid me getting ahead of myself. Duh, I'm not using a root explorer. I downloaded root explorer and was able to move zip file from internal to external no problem. Just asked for SU to grant and then did it. Geez, little slow today.

Interesting because I have S-off, root, CWM and unsecure boot and us es file manager and can't transfer to external unless I use the xposed mod.

Probably cuz es file explorer doesn't use root. This is what I think but who knows. I would think will all the above installed we don't need half these exposed tweaks but guess not?

Actually it does. You need to activate root in settings.
Not sure anyone answered this but you have to move files in storage manager which is in settings. Settings >storage manager >make more space (under the internal storage section) which allows you delete files or move them to the external sd card. But I'm sure this has been answered somewhere by now in another thread.
Hello,
if i try to copy to SD card it writes me error, what do i do? (if i try to extract .rar file it says full storage card-there is 25 gb left...) any idea please?
You'll need to do a search for NextApp SDFix and run on the tablet.
Kitkat and Lollipop blocks applications from writing to the external sd card and the application above will allow you app to write to the external sd card.
Don't forget to reboot after running the app

Will i need root to run the app?
You can definitely get apps to write to the SD card without rooting and voiding your warranty.
1. Get an app compatible with SD card writing in Lollipop. There are very few, but I believe even ES File Explorer allows it these days.
2. Authenticate the root folder of the SD card via the Google Storage Access Framework. Often the file manager will give you a short tutorial, but the gist is that you'll be launched into a bizarre window where you must click an overflow menu, click Show SD Cards, slide a hidden left menu out, tap on the SD card, and then select folder. This then gives the app full write access to your card.
3. Have luck on your side. Often you will need to reformat the card as Ntfs or just get super lucky.
Remember to thank Google when you're done, and it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Are you able to get into the Storage Access Framework at all? That's the crucial first step for any app you want to use with the SD card.
If you got there but the SD card isn't listed, then it might need to be reformatted.

This is exactly how you're supposed to access the Storage Access Framework. Is your SD card empty? If it is empty, please format it (using your tablet or a computer). That might solve your problem.
(If it is not empty, back up all the files somewhere, and format it anyway... hopefully this will help.)
If not, well, this is an error I have never seen before.

It's a problem I've never experienced, that is for sure. Maybe if you ask NVIDIA to return it, they will have a better solution.
Can you take a screenshot of when the error occurs? Is there a Report button there? I'm grasping at straws here.

"Unfortunately, documents has stopped"!? That's amazing.
Can you try this with a different SD card or a different app? If I knew offhand which app Documents came from, I would also recommend finding it in All Apps and clearing its data and cache.
