S7 - Encrypted SD not showing up - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, I've got an S7 and I decided to try and encrypt the SD. It seemed to go okay, but now I can't see the SD card anywhere (I've looked in Astro File Manager, there's no option to Save to SD in the Camera and I can't save Apps to the SD card).
If you encrypt the SD does that mean you can't see it/save to it?!
Thanks

Can you access the SD Card via the normal File Manager?

No it doesn't show up, any suggestions? If I 'decrypt' the sd, it shows up again. Thanks

I have test it with my S7, and when the SD Card is encrypt i can access the SD Card via Samsung File Manager but not with ES File Explorer.
Try a factory reset?

Thanks - does the camera allow you to save to the SD card when yours is encrypted?

Android Recovery That Supports External SD Card

Hey guys!
Is there any recovery tool like ClockWork recovery, that allows "install zip from external SD"?
Thanks in advance!
External SD? How would that work? Where would you put the sd?

"External" means not internal. Like memory card, the one you put to get extra memory on the phone.

But all Recovery tools work with sd card. Unless I'm misunderstanding something?
They don't instal recovery onto the sd card, but they can read and flash zip files from the sd card.

For some reason phone's original SD Card is not accessible... Tried copying the zip ROM from Mem Card to phone using ES Ecplorer, it failed...
Tried booting CM7 with ROM manager, it comes up with the following error:
"SD Card marker not found...
Error verfying extendedcommand
etc
"
Maybe you can help?
Sounds like your SD card may be corrupt in some way. I've seen that before. I suggest you copy everything off your sd card then format it, then copy everything back and try again

Formating doesn't work... It does not delete all the files...

adoptable/internal storage help

hey guys i kinda screwed something up, i was going to swap from using my sd card internal storage to portable so i backed up the data folder and the obb folder, then i formatted the sd card to portable storage and then i realised that there was no where near enough space for all my apps and i found out you cant move them to the sd card so i switched the sd card back to internal storage.
so formatted the sd card but now when i use es file explorer ti says the the card cannot be found so i cant set thing back to how they were?
any idea how to get the sd card to work as it did?
What format is your SD card? You may have formatted it wrong.

Check what is file system on sd card.

i just checked and my sd card is formatted to f2fs mate but it is working now somehow
You optionally need twrp with f2fs support, you can find it on xda, not on twrp.me. @robgee789
I think you need only twrp:

You probably have "filesystem" selected. You need to use "DocumentProvider storage" and should be able to navigate to/select your external sd card
