I set my SD card to adoptable storage, all works great except TWRP. I cant flash any zip I download because TWRP doesn't see the adoptable storage. Anyone else notice this or have a workaround?
I'm having the same problem. But I've found a workaround : put your files to /data/media/0/ and flash from there. But it's still a workaround... Waiting for adoptable storage support

Would that put it on the SD card or the phone's storage? Also, if you wipe /data, wouldn't the files in /data/media get wiped too?
Also, another workaround is to sideload.
It's on phone's storage, and I think data wipe will wipe it. But that's the only option now) Sideload does require PC, I'm used to do everything on phone itself))
Oh, another suggested workaround is to use OTG if you have that handy.

Are you having to wipe the SD card everytime you flash a different ROM with adoptable storage? Found that out the hard way myself last time, and just wanted to make sure it's a consistent issue, and not something I messed up.

Can you confirm OTG would work while having adoptable storage? That could be great
I can't even get my adaptive storage to work anymore after switching roms,it crashes everytime after like few min (when formatting) when I reboot my sdcard shows as 15MB and have to format it in my pc lol
@Sabissimo
I had accepted that this was a bug and was forced to format as portable even tho I didn't want to. But I obviously need to be able to flash zips and make and restore nandroid backups.
I continue to look daily in hopes there will be a fix and this adaptable storage option in MM will be as we originally thought it would.
Has there been any other news on this?
Has anyone figured a work around, other than otg? That's is if it even works bec iv seen a lot of users saying otg did not work.
This is SUCH a let down. I also bought the 16gb purposely as someone else said.
I'm at least hoping there's a workaround that I just haven't heard of yet, that works.
This sucks.
Happy new year everyone[emoji20]

Hello,
So I realize their are opther post similar to this one, but nothing that fits my symptoms. I have a Xoom WiFi, rooted, with Tiamat Kernel 2.1.0 (Tachi). So far I have unable to get the ROM Manager or Recovery Mode to mount my SD Card.
When I reboot into Recovery Mode I get an error that says "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". I tried many different things to resolve this, including trying to use the option to format the SD Card. I have tried 2 SD Cards, a 4GB and a 32GB. Both cards work in the Xoom in regular mode, just not in Recovery Mode.
When I tried to format them with Recovery Mode, after I selected my options, it said "Waiting to Mount SD Card", it failed and rebooted.
So now I don't believe there is a problem with the formatting, just a problem with the mounting.
Is there something simple I am missing. If I can't get this working, I will not be able to transfer files to the Xoom if I screw something up, so I don't wont to go any further until I get this resolved.
Any help for the Noob. Thanks

What version of clockworkmod recovery are you using? Version 4.0.0.4 does not recognize the external sd card. If you are attempting to boot into recovery through rom manager it probably 'updated' your recovery to the 4.x version.If you want to be able to access your micro sdcard in recovery, you need to flash the solarnz CWM 3.2.0.0 R4c recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979.
Thank you for the quick reply. I think I had just found that posted elsewhere too. Its good to know its not a problem with my system, but why was hat feature removed. Just obsolete?
And Yes, it is 4.0.0.4.
Thanks Again

Just a follow-up question. If I can't mount the SD Card within thsat version of Recovery, how are you supposed to transfer files onto the Xoom if you are trying to fix a screw and the system won't boot?
If I plug the Xoom into my computers USB while in Recover Mode, it mounts the Xooms drive, but won't allow me to access it. Am I supposed to be able to make that happen?

I think it is for phones that have only one sdcard (external) and only a really small amount of internal storage. Tablets have an internal sdcard and this is whhat version 4.x reads and writes to. In addition, some tablets, like Xoom have an external sdcard and therefore require a custom recovery to take advantage of it.
There is also a newer recovery based on the cwm 4... series that is built specifically for the xoom/honeycomb' and that does read the sd... I've found it much more user-friendly... search for rogue recovery,you won't br disappointed
Re: rom manager, my recommendation is to uninstall it... seems to cause more probs than it is worth, and with the new roms' automation of boot into recovery and the ease os use of rogue recovery, there really isn't a need for it.
Very nice. Now I think I understand, and I have already switched over to the Rogue Recovery and it is working great. I like the ability to mount the SD card or switch to the internal storage. Now I feel better, and as someone else said, I do like seeing that Rogue graphic on my zoom!
Thanks again for the help!

@hchxoom--You are right and that version may be a good option, but it seems the problem right now is that he can't boot into the os, can't access the external sdcard with flashable files and maybe a nandroid backup and the Xoom can't be accessed via adb/fastboot...
@krpto1973--Is this right? I'm a bit unclear about your current state.
Oh sorry, no. I saw that situation you described and was worried about doing anything further if I couldn't mount the SD Card. So I wanted to find a way to mount it in recovery so that i could feel more comfortable messing around. I am not as familiar with ADB commands as I should be, so I also wanted the SD Card option.
But thank you again for the quick response! you guys rock!

OK, cool. Glad you got your answers.
My sd card is 32gb and formatted to fat 32 and is recognized by the phone I can browse it and everything but neither TWRP or cwm will recognize it. Any ideas?

I had this problem. Then I found out that storage locations are set up differently vs. my previous device. From a swipe screen in TWRP, touch on internal storage and you should be able to select your micro sd card. It isn't possible to navigate to it from internal storage.

Yeah I tried that but it won't let me select micro SD in TWRP. In Cwm it just says unable to mount external

So i was able to figure out what it was the partition of the sd card was formatted as logical and not primary....thx for your suggestions!
Ive used the app before : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_source=42matters.com&utm_medium=WidgetWeb
It says I already have access, im rooted, safe strap, on the NC2 leak, cant even get the file manager to transfer my files from the internal storage to the external SD, I think it has to do with the problems that the internal storage has a "emulated" internal sd card so the app thinks the phone already has sd card access If someone can help that wold be greatly appreciated as I have a decent amount of media I want off my internal, god HD video takes up to much space, not to mention music and a thousand or so photos
You're on the nc2 odex, not the deodex?
<Note3>
---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
If you just said yes, go to post #164 in the nc2 rom thread. There's a link for the fix.
<Note3>
The patch you listed makes a second path that is fully writable. Use:
"/mnt/media_rw/extSdCard"
instead of:
"/mnt/extSdCard"
Hope this helps. My Tab is working perfect with 4.4.2. Still need to get my Note updated!
I'm pretty sure I flashed the deodexed one but can't be sure as I downloaded both.
I'm not sure what you mean with your mount command can you explain please
Bump for more help? Please
I'd like to know this too, as I am using nc2 firmware (stock, just root).
My device is n9005...
What he means is when copying files, use the first path he listed instead of the second path.

You want to have sdext be an auxiliary or primary place the /data/app partition? You can't on the M. At least I never found it.
Best thing to do, on JellyBean, is use my SD swap & then, at least, internal memory will just be used for that, /data.
See my button for a link.

My experience has been that it's mostly images and music that eats up the space on the phone. This data can be moved manually to the sdcard and most apps that use it will have an option to look there by default. My experience with so-called sd swap programs is that they tend to be clunky and unreliable, and I've lost data that way, so I don't do it any more.
I have a crap ton of apps installed on my M, and to date have never had a storage issue, but as everyone uses their phone differently, that may not be your experience. For whatever reason, Android stopped supporting the ability to move apps to sd, and apparently, unless an app is specifically designed to do so, data to sd went as well.
I had downloaded several 64bit oreo roms and tried to flash them, but it always ended with this error message "updater script ended with error: 255". I dont know how to fix this... Please help me out....
Rom with this error :-
1. LOS 15.1
2. AEX 5.1
3. Firehound 4.1
4. Nitrogen OS
Note : Only Pixel Experience and Colt os (Both Oreo) managed to flash and boot on my device (potter)
do a full restore from the stock latest xml.zip, sounds like some partition issies.
also, idk if this is your first TWRP error, but it usually helps to go to advanced>copy logs and then upload said logs to the post you make
either try a stock restore with full wipe of data and everything else, or post logs so i can try and help you better than a guess

I need help
Update your TWRP to the latest. That fixed the problem. For me at least.
Update Twrp
Latest version of TWRP would fix error 255
Okay I had this Problem
1st of all Install Only This TWRP Recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/dev-64bits-t3708091
This will solve your Problem
Now if you face error 7 then search that on youtube You will find the Solution for that, Its really easy
I had this problem and it took me two days to resolve it. I had a good backup and I know it was good because I had used it several times and it worked. But then after doing some system installs I got the error 255 when I tried to restore it. I tried several things to fix it and nothing worked and I really did not want to lose my backup. What did work for me was to use TWRP wipe function to FORMAT the phone. Wiping or factory reset did not work. I lost the contents of my internal SD card but I was able to transfer most to my external SD card. You could also connect the phone with a cable to a computer and use the pull command in ADB to backup the contents f the internal SD card. Given the choice between losing the SD card and the data files I come to lose some of the SD card. Anyway, a FORMAT worked when nothing else did. I read that this error is caused by a lack of space. When I checked the log it seemed that the restore was failing with a particular file which misled me to thinking I had to remove the corrupt file, but since after the format I was able to restore without any problem, it would seem that there was no corrupt data. Hope this helps someone.

???? I was merely raising the issue of space as appearing relevant to this issue. If you have any done any research or understanding of this, you would know most are treating it as a corrupt backup file. My experience was that it was not, as evidenced by the fact that once I freed space on my SD card by an internal format of it, the backup that did not work previous to the format worked fine. No data was corrupt.
