Greetings and welcome to assist. There is very little information on your device on xda. You could try kingroot to try and root your phone, then there are several apps like link2sd to swap storage
Good Luck

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.
I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.
Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

Hello i need help on how to root my xperia miro (st23i) my firmware is 11.0.A.5.5 and ICS 4.0.4 ios, i tried reading this thread >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014188 but it says that i need to have my earlier firmware version to be rooted, but since i bought my phone last weeks it's already 11.0.A.5.5 firmware, and also i don't know how to downgrade, so can anyone please explain to me briefly how to do it from downgrading to rooting of firmware 11.0.A.5.5? thanks please help thanks
frankly what i needed is on how to transfer apps from phone/internal memory to SD Card and that leads me to this, the rooting of android device, so please anyone can help me thanks
There's an easy rooting method for Tipo/Miro/J which works with all firmwares (doesn't require downgrading) -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36155148
The utility (UnlockRoot Pro) is windows-only and doesn't require purchasing for rooting.
I rooted my girlfriend's Miro (11.0.A.5.5) yesterday using it so I can confirm it does work.

I had the same problem when I first tried this utility.
Are you sure you didn't put your phone in "PC Companion" mode? It needs to be in MSC mode (instructions HERE)
Also you need to enable USB debugging.
in short:
1. turn on USB debugging
2. switch to MSC mode
3. connect to Windows PC and install drivers
4. root with UnlockRootPro
Hello!
I'm new to XDA Developers but I have some knowledge about what's happening in here.
I have this device (Lenovo A526) which I bought just last month, it has 4 GB internal memory but half of it is used in system apps and files.
After a month (now) I used up all my free space so I decided to buy a 16 GB SD Card so I could download more apps and store more files.
I was about to move my apps to my SD Card but I could not find the "Move to SD" option. Well, this option used to be there in my previous
devices. What happened? I remembered that I had this app called Android Assistant and one of its features is to move apps to SD Card. I
downloaded it and tried to move apps to SD Card but it would just redirect me to Settings>Apps>Certain App where I could not find the
"Move to SD" option. I tried several apps but none worked, they all do the same. I have searched Google for solutions and I found two more
options; using Android SDK, and rooting. I tried using the SDK first. It did not go as it is expected, my device could not be detected. I tried
rooting my device but I could not find anything that is exactly for my device.
I am willing to root my device. I tried using update.zip, framaroot and some computer programs but none worked. I found ways to root some
devices like Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. But none for Lenovo A526. My device is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I need help. If there is anything
people here could suggest, it would be well appreciated.
*for those who don't wanna read, I'm looking for a way to root my Lenovo A526. Or if you have any suggestions, I would just want to move my apps to my SD Card or maybe even swap it. Device is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly bean
For those who are willing to help and looking for more information about my device, please feel free to ask.
Thank you!

Hi,
if you can flash zip via recovery or fastboot, download supersu zip file here: http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip
Then go into recovery, install zip and choose the zip file in sd card.
Then you can enjoy root ^^
Hope this helps you!

I hope this works. I've tried installing other zips via recovery before, but no luck. It would always give me "Installation aborted!"
Thanks though!

Hi I have a question about my rooted Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro Model 50042T. First off I have rooted phones and tablets and moded gaming systems so I have a general-intermediate understanding of the process of rooting but I'm pretty much lost after that. (Also I do NOT have ready access to a PC for the time being.)
So my main concern is that my phone should have 4gb of internal storage and it is only showing that I have 1.80gb!! I know that there are partitions or divvied space that are hidden or you need special permissions to edit. Is that the USB storage? If I'm wrong about that sorry, please correct me.
So my question is how do I reorganize, modify, or even delete hidden partitions? Anything to return my phones visible 1.80gb of storage to the original 4gb? I just need to be able to access it again to install apps on it. If the whole 4gb is impossible, can I get it back to the 3.7-3.8gb that was available when I first purchased it? Please help!!
Im not sure its completely rooted. Im running king root version 4.9.6 and Purify version 1.5.2.159 and I might have installed a custom ROM or kernel but I'm not entirely sure. I got the pphone approximately 3-4 months ago and I rooted it the same night. And I tried multiple versions of king root and other apps and eventually my phone storage disappeared.
•I would install a root checker if I had enough space.
•I used purify to get rid of apps that I figured were bloatware but I still only have 43.82mb available
•I have transferred every app to the SD card that can be stored there.(If there is way to store system apps and apps that usually can't be stored on external SD I would like to know.)
•Im sorry this is my second post of this. I'm really not sure if I posted this in the right place the first time.
Thank you for your help,
Maxx

Minor update I'm no longer really needing a solution to this problem although it would be very helpful for everyone if one was found as I'm sure this has been a problem too many people at this point)
I'm over here trying to root my S6 Lite tablet without a computer just a bloody cell phone and I am oh so close but I have no way of reformatting this SD card cuz xxxxx Android wants to put it as FAT32 for god knows what reason it's an 8 gig SD card and I've even tried reformatting it in both devices I have same result Android just being stupid and I am at the end of my rope here cuz I have not been able to find any apps once so ever that actually allow me to reformat an SD card with a format of my choosing or at least one that's usable
Now please tell me that someone on this xxxxx website has a solution to this problem because once again the weird stuff I'm doing has led me down a path no one else has seemingly took
(And if anyone's asking why I'm rooting this tablet it's because Android 12 works like crap)
Mod Edit: Some content removed.
I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as I have not been able to figure out any method of formatting this SD card with something usable because Android is for some unknown reason only formatting it with FAT32 despite using two different devices to attempt to format it normally and I have not been able to find a single application that exists that does not require root permissions that would allow me to change the format of the SD card I have legitimately spent like three or four hours now trying to figure something out and have come up with nothing please someone here help
I'm just going to add this year that I obviously don't have access to a computer or this wouldn't be a problem
Root your phone and use twrp to change filesystem.
But in your case when you don't want to root. Unplug SD card and connect with adapter to your pc.
Go to this computer and right click on the SD card
Click format And select filesystem
Quick format is fine
Format and when finished
Put SD card back.
Done

Both of those are a problem because I don't have a computer to use and I am trying to root my tablet and the only other device I have is an a20 cell phone that's not rooted either and I am so close but I can't Flash the modded firmware because Android is formatting the SD card with xxxx FAT32 so besides this SD card the only other option I have is to attempt to do the flash over wireless ADB I mean seriously if I had a bloody computer I would have been done like 3 days ago

That's a scam app that I kept running into if I recall it didn't even boot although it's hard to tell cuz I tried a couple that look pretty much identical to that so once again something that's completely useless I came here cuz I was hoping somebody would have an actual solution not the same garbage I kept running into trying to Google my way through this
it's an actual solution youre just being silly.
