I have been at this for 16 odd hours and have overcome wifi probs, activation probs, chevvy issues.. done 3 flashes of wp7, radio updated.. all is grand now but the memory card issue!
Please, someone allow me to go to bed by explaining how I can format the card to show more than 200mb?!
I have taken the card out, formatted on my pc, reformatted with other tools, am stuck, and have spent the last hour searching through threads for info I had earlier but can no longer find! it doesnt help that any search containing "SD" is ignored as xda search sees it as too small a word.
Who wants some good Karma?
I really dont get why this topic is been creating/cloned etc on a regular basis??
Please use search function, this topic has been discussed many times.
Use some commen sense, dont look for "SD", use keywords like "WP7" and "200" or "200mb", "partition" etc. Or even reading the readme that came with the WP7 rom would be a good start
Why not help me instead of witholding what you know and making me forrage around one hell of a mess of a forum to find information I have been searching for since this afternoon????????
from the read me, and i quote "WARNING: WP7 will format the SD card during the first boot.
Two SD card partitions are created during cold boot.
First one is a 200Mb FAT partition and another one with unknown format which
is used as RAID with main memory."
That doesnt explain how to change the RAID partition into physical memory I can access from the device...

Here is what you need to do:
Make sure your SD card is in the phone
Do a factory reset by going to settings>About>Reset your phone.
After WP7 reboots, it will recognize your card and all the date.
You will have to re-enter your Activation code.

Thanks for the advice.
Is there any way this can be done outside of the device? I have heard that I can get an SD formatting tool but whatever one I downloaded did nothing to help.
I am reluctant to do the 4th hard reset of the day for this OS as a) there is talk of the auth code working only 3 times, and b) I have everything else working now and dont want to tempt fate!
Is it only a WP7 hard reset that will resolve this for me now?
:-(
Thanks in advance of your help my man!!
also, wont a hard reset undo all of the unlocking and such from chevvy?

Im pretty sure it will undo the unlocking, but it only takes a few minutes to go thru it again once you have everything downloaded.
Hard reset number 5 it is then!!
It didnt save my settings on the mem card, obviously as it wasnt in there in the first place during the previous hard reset.
Im becoming a master at hard resets and personalisation now!
that's not gonna help, , the first time it boots its gonna again make a 200meg partition and the rest create a raid.
download a partition program (there are loads, personally i have a ubuntu laptop and use that, you could also make an ubuntu live cd, boot to that and delete teh partition there.
through Ubuntu...
phone into magldr, usb mass storage, connect to Ubuntu, the 200meg filesystem icon will soon appear on the desktop, right click, format, instead of clicking ok click disk utility, select the 200 partition and click unmount then click delete, then select the unknown partition, and click delete.
if you are going back to android now would be a great time to set up an ext partition if you want one.
If you are sticking with wp7, then you can't format it to show more than 200meg, that's all that wp7 allocates to the fat partition, all the rest goes to system storage. Messing with the disk (even removing it whilst wp7 is running, i believe) will trash the data on the card and wp7 will reformat it.
If you are heading back to wm then create a fat32 partition the full size of the card.

Actually, it has done the trick, however now I am back to having a locked device again and cant deploy apps from my pc. Back to where I was 6 hours ago.
All I want is space to store more than 4 apps before the dang thing runs out of space.
Time to grab a beer me thinks.
hi all,
I cannot see or mount my sd card. It can be read and written in PC, but my u8800 can't see it.
I loaded 2.3.5 official. After some search I rooted it somehow and installed "x5 settings" application (I dont remember why I installed it, damn). After using "selecting internal/external memory" area and rebootings, my sd card cannot be seen by the device anymore. When I plugged, there is an option "turn on usb storage" but it doesnt work, just turning and waiting when clicked. In the storage settings "mount sd card" doesnt do anything.
I formatted the sd as fat32, tried using it when backups restored and not restored. But doesnt matter.
Btw, my internal sd is completely free (as i see in the storage settings) but i cannot see it when plugged in the computer neither.
any help will be appreciated,
ismail
edit: when dload of 136 is in the memory card and opened in pink screen, it gives an "update failed".
edit2: 138 and 162 does the same, update failed. Again, i cannot reach my internal sd.
edit3: the problem may be not the sd card (update fails because I try to downgrade from 526 to 1xx). however i cannot reach internal sd. making downgrade from internal sd may solve the problem, anyone knows a way to reach it somehow?
Have you tried the trick to remove the battery and put the phone to charger and then installing? And after install you put battery back. Also make sure that there is free space in sd. Also make sure there is free space in sdcard. 500MB should be enought.
I put the b136 rom inside sd card. When battery out, if i plug the device, it starts normally. But if <power+-> combination is used when plugging, it goes to the pink screen and waits.
there are 14 gb free space in external and 2 gb in internal sd card.
btw, thank you for your reply.
I think you can mount internal sd in ubuntu while in pinkscreen. This requires you to have ubuntu and unlocked Bootloader. To install ubuntu, use WUBI, which is easy way to have it with windows. Blefish has posted a way to unlock to bootloader. There is a link for it in my signature. After these are ready, plug your phone while it's in pinkscreen to ubuntu, and search for 2gb partition. Then pud dload there and continue like you normally do.
I'm using Ubuntu right now I ll give it a try, thanks again.
edit: tried, but as far as there is no sd card mounted, it seems there is no way to unlock the bootloader. (error: /sdcard/bootloader.bin: cannot open for read: No such file or directory)
On project menu, which is accessible by *#*#2846579#*#*, there is an options menu for sdcard. I think that needed Google option to be enabled. Try to play with the options there(reboot after a change).
Also from X5settings, choose external memory.

Can't you do it the automatic way? Do you have CWM installed?

There was google mode selected, i tried the others also. No change. imo, source of all the problems is the "x5 settings". I had installed and remove it many times, but before the last uninstall, i changed the option to "external". Now i dont have x5 settings enabled, and dont know how to reinstall since there is no sd.

no, i dont have CWM right now, before the sd card issue, I was trying to install it but the bootloader problem was preventing me.
can you try to install b518 or b517? they are official 2.3.5 betas, but with unlock bootloader.
I am downloading them and will try both.
edit: didn't work. "update failed" problem.
i cannot install CWM because there is no sd card mounted.
also cannot make bootloader work because there is no CWM and sd card.
So not able to install any custom rom from bootloader.
And since my version is b526, i cannot downgrade. (i dont know if the reason impossibility of the downgrade or the sd card problem or not mounting internal sd.)
I will wait the next (final) version. For now, i gave up. Thanks for all
I am having a lot of trouble trying to partition my SD card so my HTC HD2 has more internal storage for this rom. I succeeded in partitioning it. My Sd card has 'lost' 1 GB.
I used this guide:
Guide On How To Create EXT Partition:
Power on your HD2 and don’t let go of the power button.
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will then be loaded.
Use volume down button to scroll down to 8th option (8. AD Recovery). And press call button to select it.
ClockworkMod Recovery will then be loaded.
Use volume down button to scroll down to “advanced” and press call button to select it.
Scroll to “Partition SD Card” and press call button to select it.
Then, choose EXT Size = 1024M, then Swap Size = 0M (This ext partition will be used by App2SD to extend your phone internal memory.)
After the process is completed, press back button to return to ClockworkMod main menu.
Select “reboot system now“.

I tried it a second time, but now my 16GB SD card is down to 13GB and the partitions are invisible on my PC and on my phone. My SD card has now lost '2GB'.
I think I am missing some information to get this to work.
Normally I understand everything I read on XDA, but now I am stumped.
Please help me, this is the first time I really don't understand what I have done and what has gone wrong
Setup of choice = EU HTC HD2, Maldr1.13, CWM150, HyperDroid-CM7-Observant-Opossum -v5.9.0-cLK-magldr-signed.zip
Use Easus Partition manager on order to see all of your partitions then just resize as necesaary
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
The partitions are as they are supposed too. One 15GB, one 1 GB.
And now? How does my phone recognize the App2SD Partition?
You want to know how your phone recognizes the ext partitions? well, no offense but that is none of your business. (jk )
If you want to know how it actually works, that is another long story.
As mentioned earlier by Nigel, Use EaseUs Partition Manager to see/edit the partitions.
And your sd card didn't lose 1GB, that 1GB simply became a partition in a format that is not visible to Windows. But it is there !
Edit:
As an elaboration to my previous post:
You don't need to know how to make it work, Hyperdroid uses an a2sd script (by default) so as soon as it detects one during installation it will be used.
All what you have to do is make the partition, and let the ROM do its job.
So in short; It's already working, but I am to stupid to see it?
I have reflashed, so it should be working. Awesome!
Those cookers keep blowin' my mind with their techie-godlike-powers!
I'm using App2SD now with this rom and the rom is not as stable as it used to be. Did I do something wrong or should I reflash?
"not as stable as it used to be" ?
I've been with HyperDroid since the sd versions. Never had any problems with a2sd, the ROM is always stable, fast & smooth.
Oh I think I might know why, did you actually check the size of your SD card before partitioning? A 16GB SD card has an actual capacity of 14.8GB which would explain why it looks like 13GB is left. Either that, or the one I was sold is a ripoff
EDIT: just saw marvlesz's post and he uses bigger words so he's probably right

No, you are correct. Most storage devices show less than the advertised capacity, you weren't sold a ripoff.
Usually it's like this :
4GB will show 3.73
8GB will show 7.45
16GB will show 14.9
32GB will show 29.8
even my 500GB HDD shows only 465
And so on ...
And I wasn't talking about the lost 1GB from 16 to 15, but from 15 to 14 (13.8) .
Because I thought he had already knew about the actual size of his sd.
Be lit, here : http://compreviews.about.com/od/storage/a/ActualHDSizes.htm
Lol I realise now that I knew pretty much all of that already, but I'm on holiday and my brain is taking a while to kick in The Vatican is mindblowing

I forgot to mention that everything is al right. I am very pleased with Hyperdriod App2SD implementation.
It was the first time I tried this, so of course there would be some start-up issues. After trying a few times, I am happy as ever!
Problem with SD Card Capacity
Maybe it has been mentioned before.
But if you feel uncomfortable with the Formatted capacity of your SD card,
download SDFormatter 3.1 (free)
(I cannot insert a link (yet) so you have to google it)
BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST, YOUR SDCARD WILL BE WIPED CLEAN!
Then insert your SDCard in your PC using a sleeve (comes free with most micro SD cards)
And choose in SDFormatter: QUICK FORMAT, SIZE ADJUSTMENT ON
This should restore your SD Card to its full capacity (and format)
Then re-insert the Card in your phone and try the Partion SD Card again.
Worked fine for my 2 HD2's

You really should download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You can use the toolkit to flash HSPL, MAGLDR, or clk to your HD2. It has all of these included in the download for the Toolkit. You can also use it to flash an .nbh file to your HD2. This means you can flash Splashscreens and Windows Mobile ROMs with the Toolkit also.
Go to this thread to learn how to dual boot Windows Phone 7.5 and Android. But just so you know Android can only be run from SD card when you have WP 7.5 installed in NAND. You can not however dual boot Android from NAND and WP 7.5from SD card as WP uses your SD card as internal memory.
Last of all for your on good please read the guide in my signature so you can hopefully educate yourself about exactly what the MAGLDR is and what it's function is. Plus it is a load more of info I think would very much help you to read.

The first thread you linked is a tool used to install Android to NAND widget means Android boots from internal memory. So unless you want to just use Android on your HD2 this is not the guide for you right now.
The second thread you linked is to a SD card buildvthat uses Super RAM which means that part of the main Android system boots into RAM on start up widget makes the build run faster. If this is what you want to use for your Android you just need to download it and extract the contents of the .zip file to the root of your SD card and then either use the file explorer to touch on CLRCAD and then HARET, or you can install a dual boot app for Windows Mobile that you can use to boot your Android from SD card.
I just want to correct a very very wrong statement, WP7.5 is very well supported. The HD2 is often better supported by the dev community than official WP devices, infact the HD2 got Tango before any other WP phone. Also with WP7.5 on NAND you can dual boot so you can have Android and WP7.5, you can't do that the other way around. I would suggest dual booting HD2Owners ROM found HERE along with AmericanAndroid on the SD found HERE. These two are both realy stable and well supported.

Ok let me see if I can walk you through this some. First download the 02.04.12 HD2O© ROM, the AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 SD card build, the Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14, the EASEUS ALL-IN-ONE Partition Manager Software mentioned in the guide I linked, and if you do not already have it download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. You will also need to download and install Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center (these programs have the USB drivers you will need) depending on what version of Windows you have, you will just have to google for a download as I do not know what version of windows you have, I suggest you put both the WP7 ROM, the Android SD card build, and the 2.15.50.14 Radio in a folder that you can easily remember were they are on your computer. Also go ahead and install both the HD2 Toolkit and the partitioning software on your computer.
Now to make sure you do not have any problems with your SD card I recommend you do a full re-format of your SD card. You will need a USB card reader and a Micro SD card adapter.I linked them just so you will have a visual reference of what you need, but those are the ones I have and they work great. Aslo if your computer has a card reader you like mine does you just need a Micro SD card adapter. Now back to re-formatting your SD card.
Place your SD card in the Micro SD card adapter, then place the Micro SD card adapter in the USB card reader (or the USB card reader on your computer), and then plug the USB card reader into one of the USB ports on your computer. Let your computer install the drivers and go to the windows start menu and click on Computer or My computer depending on which version of Windows you are using. You should see the SD card as a removable drive. Right click the drive and select copy and then create a folder to paste the data that is on the SD card already so you will have a backup. Now right click on the drive again and select format, when the format window pops up make sure to uncheck the the box beside Quick Format and also make sure it says FAT32 under File System. Click Start and then click Ok on the warning window that pops up. Then set back and relax until the card is done being formatted.
Now you need to make sure you have at least 50% or more battery, but I suggest you have a full charge before you start just to be safe. Once you have the proper battery level you need to boot your HD2 into the bootloader by holding the volume down button down while you power on your HD2. When you see the multicolor boot connect it via USB and wait until you see the Serial in the white bar of the bootloader change to USB. Now open the folder with the 2.15.50.14 Radio in it and extract the files from the .rar file, you will need Win RAR to do this. Once you have the files extracted click on the CustomRUU.exe file and follow all of the on screen instructions. Once the RUU is done you will have the 2.15.50.14 Radio installed on your HD2.
Next you need to boot your HD2 back into the bootloader and connect it to your computer via USB again. Open the HD2NAND Toolkit and click on the Install HSPL button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have HSPL 2.08 installed on your HD2. Now go back to the HD2 NAND Toolkit and click on the Insatall MAGLDR button under Main Tools. Follow the on screen instructions and when it is done you will have MAGLDR 1.13 installed on your HD2.
Now that you have MAGLDR installed on your HD2 it should only boot up to the MAGLDR 1.13 main menu. Go to option number 5 USB Flasher and then find the HD2O ROM file you downloaded and extract the files drom it. Once the files are extracted click on the DWI.exe and follow the on screen commands. When it is done you will have Windows Phone 7 on your HD2.
Now you need to follow the part of the guide you linked that I have quoted below. I left the link to the video of the method that I have quoted so watch it as it is a very good video. Oh and in case you do not notice it in the video, you need to hold down the power button while your HD2 is booting to boot to the MAGLDR main menu. And the video will show you how to get the Android build to boot on your HD2.

THIRD METHOD - USING A SINGLE SD CARD - HERE IS ANOTHER ALTERNATE METHOD PROPOSED BY XDA MEMBER HYELLOW (UPDATED)
1. Put your sd card inside the hd2 and power on.
2. Go to about screen, in settings, and reset your device. Let it reset and boot to WP7 again. While booting to WP7, it'll create the partitions it needs, so this is important. After you have gone through the setup wizard, go to about screen and reset your device again.
3. When it has booted into magldr screen, remove the sd card and insert into pc. (make sure that magldr is shown and stays there at bootup, otherwise it'll boot straight into wp7 without sd card and that is not what we want.
4. You'll see two partitions. A whopping 200mb of fat16 partition and the other is unformatted. Now right click on the unformatted partition and click delete. After that, click apply. Now you have unallocated space. Right click on the unallocated space and select create. Set parameters to logical and unformatted and size the partition. This will be your WP7 partition, so decide how much you want to allocate to it, this is permanent, no changes afterwards can be made. Also, make sure you move it to the end of the sd card in the same 'create' window. Hit apply. IMPORTANT When using this method make sure that the wp7 "unformatted partition" is larger than the Android partition otherwise the wp7 "unformatted partition" will move in 2nd place and you will not be able to resize the fat 16 / android partition.
5. Sit back and take a break.
break.
6. You now have a green fat16 partition to the left, some unallocated grey portion in the middle and your WP7 partition in modern turqoise colour on the far right. Agreed? Now remove the sd card from PC and insert in HD2.
7. After you have inserted the sd card, let it boot into WP7. Remember what your last action was when you were still in WP7? Yes, you pressed reset, so the device actually thinks he is still resetting the device. He might do it too, but just go through the setup wizard again.
8. Go to about screen and verify your storage. Don't look strange if when the storage has a different of about 1Gb, this is swallowed by WP7 for system stuff etc. Are you happy with the progress so far? Then power down your device and remove the sd card. Allow the HD2 to fully powered down as sometimes the screen is pitch black, but the device is still turning off.
9. Insert the sd card in pc and, using EASUS right click on the green fat 16 partition and select resize/move. Now fill up the rest of the unallocated space and hit apply. This is your android partition.
10. Format the sd android partition (not the whole sd card!) using EASUS to FAT32 using 32 or 64 kb cluster size and put an android build onto it and test.
11. IMPORTANT You need to convert the wp7 unformatted partition to primary for the sd android to see the sd card Use minitool partition wizard to do this. Right click on your WP7 unformatted partition and select modify and then click on set as primary and hit apply. Here is the link for minitool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10887494&postcount=372

Hope this is detailed enough for you.
T-Macgnolia did a great job with the walk-through the only thing I would suggest is that you can save yourself a LOT of headache if after you get the HD20 ROM installed use CAB Sender and send one of the partition updates from xboxmod to your phone. This will let you skip all the hard partitioning stuff. The CAB's with various partition sizes can be found HERE. After you send the CAB you will have to go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
From that point on you can finish with installing Android onto the SD card.

Well to be very honest to you I have only flashed four WP7 ROMs to my HD2. So my knowledge of the ends and outs of WP7 on the HD2 is somewhat limited. I do remember reading something about Cab Sender. I think you have your HD2 booted into the WP7 ROM and your HD2 connected via USB to your computer to I se the Cab Sender to transfer cab files to your HD2 and install them also. Maybe XDA Seior Member voluptuary can spread some more light on it for you. But if I remember correctly if what voluptuary is telling to do takes out Step 1 to 11 of the guide I qouted and everything in the video up to here he puts te Android build on the SD card as I think it will. Then I say it sounds like you may want to check it out I am willing to bet it is not complicated to figure out.
Now just on a side note, I do still say it would be a very good idea to still do it te other way even if you try the Cab Sender. It is always a very good idea of how to manually do things. This way you understand a little bit better what you are doing to your device. And remember knowledge is power.

All you would have to do is after you install the HD20 WP7 ROM send one of the partition CAB's I linked to earlier, so say you want a 2GB partition for Android you would send "DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab" with CAB Sender and then do a full reset from within WP7. Then let WP7 reboot and you should be all set to power down the phone take the SD card out and copy the 'Android' folder over to the SD card that you would have taken out of the ZIP from the AmericanAndroid thread. You have to be sure to follow the few instuctions in the AmericanAndroid ZIP readme to get it to boot via MAGLDR.
Then to point MAGLDR to the right place to boot Android you need to, while powering the phone on with the loaded up SD card, press and hold the power button to get into the MAGLDR menu then go to '10. Services' -> '1. BootSettings' -> '3. AD SD Dir' and then select the 'Android' folder you just copied over to your SD card.

Well to get a Windows live account you just have to go to live.com and creat a account or just creat one when you go through the set up when you first boot WP7.
But I think what you are asking is how to get live services working. To do this you will have to contact Microsoft. Check out this thread for more details on it. I got my code over live chat on m computer, I told them it was a HTC HD7.
Or you can use skype and call 1-800-642-7676
its microsft Us support number and its toll free so you can call it on skype for free (from anywehre in world) say you have a technical problem and its user related.
then it will connect you to an operator
he/she will ask for your problem, just say u have a HTC HD7 phone and it wants a 25 digit activation code from u.
Then he/she will ask for your phone number, ur operator, ur email, and your name (don't worry they r not gonna spy on u, they just want it for registration, believe me I know ;-P )
then u have to be on hold for 5-10 mins and he/she will read u the activation code
BUT: if you have a poor connection or bad English language skills then the chat method is far better
PS: my opinion as an ORD? it doesn't worth the hassle. I remember after lots of hours spending online and finding the best rom and the best way to change to WP7 and finally activating it... I couldn't make it through the first day on WP7 (even thou I had SD android, the wake up bug really bugged me). then I just flashed to an ICS rom and then it was happily ever after
ok thanks evrey one soo i see a lot of ppl say thet WM7.5 is not thet good...
but i have 2 more qestion:
ace4cia i saw ICS on HD2 in youtube and i saw it is slow not moving fast do you have thet problam ?
and what rom do you advise?
and whan voluptuary says DEV_EXTRAPART_2G.cab its for the sastem only? if i install apps i can do it only on the 2 G or the all SD card

nope, not at all, well it's not like a quadcore phone but it is pretty well for ours, still far better than wp7 though ↖(^▽^)↗
and for the rom if ur looking for beauty and performance together the ics miui.us by smokin is awesome, but if ur looking for stock looks of ics and ofc performance then nexushd or aokp are cool too ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ

hi,
I am on a rooted 900w s5 and I'm trying to move apps to the system partition. Mainly, Im trying to move viper to stop it from turning off and on constantly when installed as user. When I try to do this and reboot, the app disappears. Only flashing the app from recovery works but then i get issues with the convolver in viper not working. Permissions are all set correctly too.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Hi!
I 've used Link2SD to do what you want.
I had done this manually in LP , but something changed in MM. I haven't found out the difference because I've used Link2SD and it is easier
Not working for me. Nothing seems to be working
The only way to install apps on system its using a zip file and flashing it from recovery to add those apps on system dir
if you are on Marshmellow, DONT EVEN THINK OF LINK2SD!!!!! _ (it will mess your internal & external Storage. yu'll need to flush stock os again).
the changes between MM & LP are mainly to the Storage Permissions.
Samsung disabled the option to move or link apps and their DATA to EXTERNAL!!!!
THOUGH..... there is an AWESOME App Called: "ROOT ESSENTIALS"
this is how you do it: (in case your premissions is not messed up)
in "root essentials" choose the storage tab and then format your Ext' SD as "Internal Storage". This way you will have all your storage as Internal (up to 256GB)
you can also choose how much % you want to allocate from your Ext' SD to be Internal, And how much leave as External.
-
This is the Only Good Solution I found on S5 6.0
p.s.
I just formatted all as INTERNAL and now my phone have 140GB as Internal (everything is handled as admin!!!)

How is that any different than what marshmallow can already do? Unless you can actually access the sd card when taking it out, it's the exact same.

Thanks for this but I dunno if this will solve my problem. My problem is mainly with viper4android crashing and staring up again (turning off and on) while listening to music. It happens when I install it as a user app which I have to do to get the convolver and field surround to work. To get it to stop crashing I moved the app to /system/priv-app and rebooted. I can't do that on my s5 MM. When I reboot the app disappears. LOL
I'll try your method and see if it works.

its not perfect but, if you do 50% as internal and 50% as External.... you will be able to access those 50% external from any machine (will req' a fat sd to enjoy space)

so if that friend got it to work on 6.0.1 id love to know how the procces looked.

Hi
I Can tell what I did.
First data: I have a S5 900H Dualcore. Marshmallow 6.0.1 and it was impossible to mount the second partition using Link2SD I always got an error. So as described in this forum. I downloaded from Play Store the APK Root Essentials, and chosed the tab Adopted or Emulated Memory (I have this APP in spanish and I do not know how is displayed in english) a new window appears indicating taht the SD will be formated, I accepted it, the APP began the process and ask me to download from Play store a plugin to continue the process.
Downloaded the plugin directly in my cell, I flashed it (the plugin is in zip format, my cell is root and has Teamwin recovery) the cell reboot automaticaly and again I opened the Root Essentials, thats all. Whit this same APP you now may choose to move your APPs to the SD card.
Opening the system to see how is my phone now I found that Memory is 49.73 GB used to a total of 64GB (I do not know why those numbers because my Cell has 16GB internak and other 16GB External SD maybe some one may explain this) Anyway it is saying my cell memory has now 64 GB
Internal Memory 16 GB--External SD 16 GB. You cannot find that your internal memory is bigger than before because those ar the phisycally configuration BUT now your phone added the Extrnaal SD to the Internal Memory and works like a unique one.
There is another method you may try and it is using Xposed Apk, it has a module that make the same and links the ext SD with the internal memory. I saw that it works well. I cannot try it because I never could install Xposed App in this cell I alway got an error.
Hope this may help you. Regards!
Thnak you.
So i did not flush the plugin.
How did you flush it please?
Using odin or recovery mode? (and what did you choose? Update?)
Thank you
Does anyone actually have a solution to my issue?

so, you really got me motivated to sort this out. (not about our dear thread opener though i hope he'll fin the answer, but regarding the sd as internal).
i did not quite on Root Essentials and investigated some more. happy to say i found a solution for S5 G900F, Android arshmallow 6.0.1.
this is what i did:
1. Root The Device
2. Install Root Essentials
*note*: there is a plugin file that we need to flush using RootEssentilas, but we will be asked to do so only after : Adopting, and the Revertring. (on reverting we'll be asked to flush the plugin). So....
3. Adopt the Sd. (Adopt the whole 100%)
4. you will be asked to Reboot, so do so
5. after rebbot, go to "Adopt SD" tab again, AND NOW "REVERT" the Process.
* Now you will be Given Ifo To Download the Plugin and Flush it USING ROOT ESSENTIALS FLASHER TAB!
(you would be also asked to Backup System and such, I DID IT maybe 10 Times But NEVER BACKED UP ANYTHING! so IMO, you can skip the backup).
6. Download the PlugIn
7. In RootEssentilas goto "TOOLS" tab and then the "FLASHER" tab, Click "Flash Zip File" and then choose the Downloaded File to flush it.!
8. After Flashing the Plugin Restart your Device
9. NOW ADOPT the SD _ (i have 64gb, I choose 50% so ill be able to connect my phone to Pc and Still Get the other 50% to move Files from Pc to Phone)
***IMPORTANR*** _ YOUR PC WILL NEVER LOAD THE ADOPTED SD!!!! (so if you did 100% from 64GB you will see Only the Real Phisical Phone Storage, on S5 its either 16GB or 32GB)
SO Choose 50% !
10. After Adopting the SD, goto "STORAGE" tab on RootEssentilas , And then goto "APP INSTALL LOCATION" and Choose INSTALL ON SD!! (SAVE)
11. Now install all your games and favorite apps (regullary!)
*****************************************
Now come the important Step
******************************************
12. in RootEssentilas goto "ADOPTABLE STORAGE" tab and then goto "MIGRATE DATA" tab. Click on Migrate Data,
Now pay Atention:
CHOOSE THE SD CARD That Was ADOPTED!!! _ (if you did 50%, the you will have 2 Sd Crads, one as Portable, And second wil be Writen As Oly "SD Card" Which is the Adopted AS Internal, So choose IT)!
after choosing the Adopted SD, Look On the Upper Right For the Three Dots of the Settings, clikc them for Settings and choose "MIGRATE DATA".
Let the Device to its trick, it will move anything it can.
you will see that your Orginal Internal Storage has more free space then Before the Migrate, And that the ADoptabe Storage Is getting Filled!.
thats it my Friends.
Hope This Help Someone.
if ill Do it again, Ill Make sure to Video it.
Specials Thanks for those Hard Core, Digging Friends that gave the the motivation to keep on.
thnka you.

CORRECTED. I Unistalled the adopted memory because I did not like the readings I get. I reinstalled it and now I am getting the correct reading 49.76 GB in use a total of 64GB. The problem I am encountering now is that sometimes the cell reboots.

I got this installed and mostly working I think. Device storage says Internal Storage is 16GB and SD Card is 64GB (I assigned that). Then the portable storage is 120GB from the rest of my 200GB SD. So it's working, though the SD Card in Device Storage is barely full and internal storage is almost full!
