hey guys,
i just want to ask u guys , since my s4 touch part is not working and i've bought a new phone and until i find a solution for it, i wanna ask you if its possible to backup the videos,images,contacts and maybe apps to an external sdcard using the recovery mode!!
i know there is that option there, but i tried it on a 2GB sdcard it stops with an error offcourse after some while because of having about 10GB data in the phone but when i see the 2gb sdcard it had boot file and backup files in a format that i wasnt familiar with!!
i want to be sure if i bought a 8gb sdcard or 16gb external sdcard will it be worth it to recover that media, images, videos, and contacts from it??
i have s4 gt i9500 and its rooted
plz advice
thanks

hes got a sprint cdma hero that he is complaning that theres no room to install programs and its slow.
he has a 8gb sdcard in the phone and another spare
today i tried rooting but it appears that the phone is already rooted
installed titanium backup and backed up all his apps to the sdcard
installed sms backup and restore, backed up to sdcard
went to contacts, settins, and exported to sd card
Q. I rooted and custom romed my other buddies phone and not all his contacts were exported. Is there something else i need to do to get all contacts backed up?
Q. i couldent find "Call Logs Backup & Restore" in the market. Do i really need it?
ok so this point i plan on plugging the phone into ubuntu, and copying all the data on the SD card to my laptop. This should backup all his pictures, contacts, craps onto my laptop.
Then i will install clockworkmod recovery from market. Reboot into recovery.
The use ADB to manually partiton the 8 gb SD card
1 - 7.5GB FAT32
2 - 512MB ext4
3 - 32MB swap
Q. Is this sound like a good layout?
Now that the card is partitioned i will install clockworkmod via the market and make a backup of the current system state, just incase he wants to go back to original. and copy the new rom from the laptop to the sdcard
as far as roms / kernels
i am overwhelmed and confused by the choices, he just wants something fast without bugs and without the sprint preloaded crap. But i dont think he wants any fancy custom hacker looking ****, just something plain fast and works.
Q. would cynagonmod be a good choice?
Q. Do i need to load a custom kernel in addition to loading the ROM ?
Q. after the new rom is installed is that when i copy his original sdcard data back to the newly formatted sd card?
sorry about the questions, this is a guy i work with and i wanna show off my leet, but i dont wanna **** his phone as hes goin on vacation soon and needs it to just work. I have a galaxy tab, acer tab, but never messed with a htc phone. i am curious to hear if this sound like the best way to go at it?
thanks

I wouldn't do the swap partition tho. It will kill the SD card in a less than a month. Cyanogenmod and AOSPCMod are good choices and have settings under the Cyanogenmod settings for memory management and caching so the swap partition really isn't needed. It wouldn't help unless it was at least a class 6 sd card too.
fpineda thank you for the prompt reply
Yea, Cyanogenmod 7 is best. Make sure it's the Heroc one. It will say "aospCWMod-HEROC" on the file name, then the version number. Download it and copy it to the root of the microsd card.
I also agree with gophet about partitioning the SD card. Just leave it alone. You won't have to restore any of the data but it's good that you backed it up on the laptop just in case.
Once you install clockworkmod, shut down. Then turn on the phone while holding down the home key. It will put you in recovery.
From there go to "flash zip from sd card" --> and pick the Cyanogenmod. It will take a while but you should have no problems. Also, the first boot will take a long time.
Sounds like you should look into firerating it, if that's even a word.
Hi all, my question may sound stupid but I need highlight here.
Without pc, I can't do partition to the internal 8gb memory, which were needed as to move installed apps to sdcard. Is there any easier way to get this done? Suggest me a method to access recovery mod for this device since none is working (I was so close to brick, but recovered). Thanks in advance.

Hello folks, I just got new SD Card 64GB because the official rom from samsung systems takes about 7GB from the internal storage [Notice: My internal storage 16GB].
So, I want to move almost all of my apps + files to the SD card (not all of them mostly the high size files).
For e.x: I've Mortal Kombat X from the play store when I move it to the SD card only the app is moved but the data stay in the internal storage Phone/Android/obb/xxxx also I tried other apps the same thing!
also I've tried moving the file by my self to SD/Android/obb/xxxx same problem and on launching the game it required an file installation (dowloading)!
My device info:
Model: GT-i9505 LTE
Android Ver: Official Samsung Lollipop 5.0.1
Internal Storage: 16GB
SD Card: 64GB
Root: NOT ROOTED Device
So, is there any solution ?
Thanks for your time guys...
You can try this. However, there is no guarantee it will work, and you assume any and all risks in trying it, including but not limited to bootloops or soft bricks. The app requires root as it needs to be able to pull data files from the /data partition, and you'll need to make a second partition on your MicroSD for the storage space. Certain features require a purchase to unlock.
I will give it a try!
I have just downloaded it from the play store but I think it required a root access!
Is there other way to move files to SD card without rooting my phone?
And what is the easiest way to root my phone
I mentioned that root was needed in my first post on this thread and why it was needed. There's no way to do what you want to do without rooting, so search for CF-AutoRoot on the forums for the easiest way to root.
Okay strephon thanks dude ☺I really appreciate that...
Hi, can anyone explain to me this app and how to make it work? Didn't find any good up to date tutorial.
Here is some info:
-I have TWRP rooted stock rom (SM-G935F)
-SanDisk extreme pro 64gb microSD card
-Plus version of Link2SD
-Pro version of MiniTool Partition wizard
Just can't make it work...So here are my questions:
-Can I use whole SD card as internal storage link? Or do I need 2 partitions, one classic mass storage, second one for linking? I am not planning to remove card from phone.
-Do I have to make some storage label in MiniTool, or can I keep it blank? And what about partition letter? For example G: , or can I set None?
-Can I use linked storage partition from computer via cable as MTP?
-What partitions are viable for S7 edge? And is there speed difference? (ext2/ext3/ext4) ... I was trying Fat32+ext4 and then whole card as ext4, phone always tells me card is broken and need format and I am at beginning again.
-If I somehow manage to make this phone to recognise it, how to actually use Link2SD app?
There are some topics and videos out there, but I didn't find anything up to date or in english.
Keep in mind I am just ordinary user who somehow managed to root his phone only becouse of this app - to expand low internal storage, without any knowledge about android, linux and filesystems. I just need to move some huge games to SD completly with obb.
Thanks for any advice.
Im having the the same issue with using Link2SD on my SM-G935F... Ive tried partitioning the sd card in every possible combination and still get a 'corrupt storage'' issue from the ext extention partition when rebooting my handset. From what I can tell its the actual Samsung firmware thats been rewritten to read the external storage differently due to their lack of foresite of allowing adoptable storage (code written out of their versions of Marshmellow 6.0 +, same as Sony for the Xperia range)... Fingers crossed a work around is found sooner rather than later as Link2SD is a lifesaver for releasing data and obb files from internal storage
I don't really know but I think the ext SD card is used as storage and even with solid explorer and similar file managers you have to grant permission before deleting or even creating a folder else it'll fail so I think you have to configure adoptable storage in order to be recognize as part of SD card to be used with Link2SD and also I haven't seen an update for Link2SD for a very long time.

I also have the same problem. I tried ext2 and ext4 as the second partition. Allowing 4GB until 1.5GB partition because according to the old guides, it can only process up to 1.5GB of second partition. But still, it always says it's corruted, there was a time when It was successfully read by the app but after restart, the problem returns. There was even a time where the FAT32 partition was the one that is not recognized
Sooooooooooo....
is there any solution to this yet ? cannot find Anything STILL !

Same here. Link2sd is not working (mount script error) anymore on S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). System crashed and did factory reset. Hope this issue could resolve soon.
I have the same problem, witch I think is specifically for this model (SM-G935F). Its seems that even rooted, it has some security on system folders, that prevents necessary mounts be done
I tried a mod where I can use the sd card to be seen as internal memory, but that mod pushes all apps to the sd card, and if affect performance of apps like facebook and other apps I use daily
in my previous phones I used to use linl2sd and I was in control which apps to link to sd card, and I would never choose facebook or whatapp , I used to link big games only
Is there a way to make link2sd work on s7e instead of the silly mod that pushes all apps to sdcard
