I have a Mi A2 lite which I am using a SanDisk Extreme 64GB SD Card as internal storage and it works as expected. I though that I could do the same on my Redmi Note 6 Pro (MIUI 12), but i found no native option to use a SD Card as internal storage as in my Mi A2 Lite.
Googling around I found that with Activity Laucher app I would be able to do a similar process (https://miui.blog/any-devices/steps-enable-adoptable-storage-miui-11-phones/).
I do not intend to move already installed apps from my phone memory to the SD card, but I want my phone to fuse phone memory and SD Card and manage new apps installations, photos, videos, audios, files... in my SD Card natively. Like in the Mi A2 Lite.
Unfortunately this does not seems to happen. In the first screen of my storage information, it looks like my SD become the standard memory, showing only the 64GB from my card.

In the second screen it still shows only my phone memory and the when I install new apps, the free space from this memory is consumed.
Is there anything I could do to use my SD Card as internal memory natively or even better, to fuse my memories, phone and SD Card?
Just flash the ZIP file which I attached here in Recovery and then you will be able to format SD card as Internal Storage.
*** If it is not working, you must need to FORMAT DATA to delete the encryption, so before of that - make a backup of all your files ***
I tested it on Android 13 and it is working perfectly.
Then you can use for example an app: APP2SD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd) from Google Play to move apps to adopted storage (SD CARD)

Hi,
After months of near perfect operation (HTC Desire running LeeDroid 3.0.8.2) my phone's SD card (Kingston 16GB Class 10) card all of a sudden became read only.
This had happened a couple of times in the past and after a chkdsk run the corrected file entries are fixed and the card is back to normal.
This time round even though there where a couple of fixes the rooted phone would not boot.
Since I had a ClockworkMod backup form a few days before I tried a restore. The restore process would start running, but then stop with an error that it was unable to format the sd-ext partition.
After a number of trials (and products) I used the gParted live CD to repartition the SD card. Even though gParted reports that is has correctly created the Ext3 partition when it refreshes it does not recognise the partition.

(https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5yRjrW6GS6PIXuQkls6XjtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink).
Is this normal and how can I determine if the card is dead?
Thank you in anticipation.
Update:
I loaded the card into MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and within this program the card (formated by gParted) is determined correctly. A Surface test of this partition returns that it is OK (screen shot: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/cZ2ET1Oz_3Df2geaE3rcM9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink),
I'm updating the progress of trying to restore the phone (without success).
The check of the Fat32 partition also returned no errors.
I now tried importing a prior backup. The photo at https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/__OUgtNbfs72dM_5L8ynztMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink (not clear) shows the progress of the restore.
The last two lines read as follows:
Formatting sd-ext...
Error while formatting /sd-ext!
Thankis.
I have a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSD HC-I card that I use in my Transformer Infinity tablet as a storage device. I had it setup as (1) 32 Gig FAT32 partition.
Well I messed around with the partition on it the other day and it no longer would work. I decided to just wipe the stick and create a new 32 GB FAT32 Partition.
The thing is, now all (partition) tools I have used says it is only a 30 MB stick and in a "RAW" format !!???
I have tried:
Windows 7 (64bit) Drive Manager and get this this result:
.
Code:
[B]C:\Users\John>chkdsk /X /F S:
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.[/B]

I know the sectors must be messed up. I have tried a Low Level Format but it just tells me that 30MB is to small to Low Level Format.
What can I do to make the 32 Gig micro stick show up as 32 Gig (fat32) not 30 MB ??
Please help if you can.... I will try anything. I do not have Linux installed, but supose I could if needed.
Thanks !!!

Hi, i updated my moto G to MM
now i am stuck with this problem..
if i select my SD card as Portable storage after formatting .. i can use my SD card,
else
if i select my SD card as internal store, its Formatting then its moving 5 gb for more than 6hours, i observed that after 53% of moving its again starting from 20% is looping there only
so, i felt it would be better to Factory data reset : so that it wont have any files to move .. is it going to help ??
i mad this thread because Factory reset is taking long
Things i tried :
tried putting my SDcard into my Lumia 730,to check if its working or not ,
[
1) if formatted as portable storage then Lumia 730 is recognizing my memory card , but data writing is giving me error.
2) if formatted as Internal storage, then in lumia its showing as 15mb free
]
i tried recording and transfering files when used as Portable storage in my Moto G, its working fine
i also checked if SD card is really working with an app,

Hi,
i just bought my gf a samsung evo 128gb sd card for her Nokia 5.3. At first it said its damaged and the formatting in android didnt do anything. So then i tried to use PC and saw that there was no file system at all, but even after formatting it it didnt work. Then i tried using adb to force it to format which kinda worked.

I read online both to use the id you get from list-disks aswell as those you get from list-volumes.
What did work was the volume id (179,64). However using "sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 90" was the highest number that worked, since sm partition disk:179,64 private" didnt work at all. The device simply didnt recognize the sd anymore.
And even now the device claims that most of the storage is already being used, despite the card still being empty.
What can i do to fix it and have the entire sd as internal storage??
When a SD-card is accepted as adoptable storage, the Android OS deletes the contents and writes a GUID partition table that defines two partitions:
A small empty android_meta partition reserved for future use. The GUID of the partition type is 19A710A2-B3CA-11E4-B026-10604B889DCF.
A large android_ext partition encrypted with dm-crypt and formatted with either ext4 or f2fs depending on kernel capabilities. The GUID of the partition type is 193D1EA4-B3CA-11E4-B075-10604B889DCF.
