Hello,
I have a problem with Link2SD which I hope someone knows an answer for. My setup looks like this:
Hardware
Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL
SanDisk Ultra MicroSD (64 GB)
Software:
Android 8.0.0 (A320FLXXS3CRK1)
Newest TWRP for my phone
Newest Magisk
Universal Init.d Injector v2.2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/mod-universal-init-d-injector-wip-t3692105)
How I setup the partitions of the microSD
First Partition as FAT32 (Primary) with a drive letter assigned. Second Partition ext4 (also Primary) without a drive letter. MiniTool Partition Wizard was used for this process.
Also tried a few variations of the above like making the second partition ext2 or setting the first partition to active but in the end it all made no difference
Now the strange part ....
The partitions are properly detected when I connect the microSD to the PC using a card reader.
The first partition is also detected as external memory by android and I can use it like every other SD with one partition
Link2SD is also able to detect the second partition, mount it at start and link apps to it
The problem is that my PC wont detect the sd card when I connect the phone to it. When I reformat the SD back to one partition the SD card is detected without a problem (explorer showing the internal memory aswell the external memory)
[*]Sometimes the card is also shown as not detected in the default samsung file explorer even tho the apps moved to the sdCard are stil working
Does anyone have a clue what is happening here or what I am doing wrong?
Dear user
I am having the same troubles with my a320fl when attempting to use 64gb sd card partitioned with fat32 and ext2/ex4.
Once I enter the card in the phone and restart it doesn't register on the phone.
I hope someone else can help us!
I have the same problem, also with a 64GB Samsung Evo, could this be an A3 issue?

Hello xda !
I've got a 16GB class 4 sdcard.
Recently I tried to partition my sdcard using Mini Tool Partition Wizard on windows.
I wanted to get a 1.4GB ext2 partition to do App2sd, and keeping the whole 13.5 left in FAT32 for UMS (Mass Storage).
It wasn't working, I think it was because I was doing it by a USB connection through my phone. I tried it at least 4 times, each time I was able to reformat the whole card in FAT32, so no major problem.
BUT now, I don't know why but my sdcard isn't recognized anywhere, is tried though MOTOROLA DEFY, SAMSUNG GALAXY PLAYER WIFI 4.0 and MICROSD COMPUTER ADAPTER. Even in Mini Tool Partition Wizard, I can't see it.
SO is there a way for me to recover my sdcard ?
If someone could help me it would be awesome guys

Hello, I when I tried to partition my sd card using MiniTool Partition Wisard to create two partition (20GB with filesystem ext2 and 10 GB with FAT32) it shows me that the partition process was successful. However, I could not see the SD card on my computer (it should show the partition with filesystem FAT32). Okay, therefore, I decided to remove the card from the computer. And when I inserted it back to the PC, it still can't show the card. Therefore, I decided to open the MiniTool Partition Wisard to see what happened. And it says that my SD card has Bad Disk filesystem. Also, when I insert the card into the phone, its says that my SD card is blank. What when wrong? Isn't the partition successful? What can I do?

hey i am having this problem... ive tried basically everything... from a different phone to a different tablet and computer!
its madness. all i did was update my sprint phone and next thing i know its not working! on anything!!
How you solved the issue?
I have been using a 4gb memory card out of which 3.6 was usable. One day, I connected it to my chromebook and transferred a few files and directly pulled the wire off forgetting about ejecting the device and turning the usb mass storage off. Then I opened the file manager it was showing total storage:447MB and availabel storage:447MB. pls help me with this problem.
Here you go
First point first - Backup your data
I assume that you have access to a Windows or a Linux desktop...
For Windows you will need Minitool Partition Wizard Free Version...
For Linux - GParted will do the job...
----------------------------------------------------------
For your specific problem, it appears to me that the primary partition of your SD card is accidentally shrunk...
So, Plug in your SD card
Open up Minitool Partition Wizard or GParted, find your SD card.....
... and if I am right, you can see 2 or more partition in your SD card
[Make sure you have backed up your data before proceeding]
1. Delete all of the partitions present in your SD card one by one (right click on the partition to find 'delete')
2. You will now end up with an unallocated space of size of your SD card.
3. Right click on that unallocated partition and Create
4. Make sure your new partition is Primary, NOT LOGICAL, and FileSystem = FAT32
5. Apply your changes, and your SD card will be showing it's full capacity.
Thank you I will try it out and let you know if it works
One reason may be that your sd card has some bad sectors due to which some part of the sd card may not be accessible or maybe there is some kind of virus in your sd card. Actually it happened with me also but in my case it was my pen drive and the reason was some of the sectors were not working properly and at last pen drive did'nt work at all....
If that is the reason wouldn't formatting the sd card work out.
I've been trying to move apps to my SD card using Links2SD, but apparently this phone doesn't support moving apps to the SD card. Is there a way to do this?
I also tried "linking" apps to the SD card (even though I'm not quite sure I understand what that means), but I'm getting an error saying I don't have a second SD partition. If this is my last hope, how do I create a new SD partition?
Running Resurrection Remix on 6.0.1.
Thanks!
Edit: found this thread on creating a second partition, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do it on the phone since I don't have a card reader.
I think you can use TWRP to partition the SD card... A ext2/3/4 partition is required to use Link2SD on any device
Note that you cannot use the card as adopted storage. Always set the first partition as FAT32 and the second as ext4, or the card cannot be read in some Windows PC's, I would recommend a minimum 32GB card and at least U1/UHS-1 speed rating for acceptable performance.
