Hello, a few months I rooted my g530t1. I have a Samsung Evo + 128gb sd card that I partioned. In my own stupidity locked it up. I recovered it back to stock, but I can't get access to the other 60gb. I unmounted it and reformatted it. In hopes of removing the partitions and regain access to the full 120gb. I installed ES file pro and analyzed the sd card, but it doesn't acknowledge there's still another 60gb of free space. Do I need to re-root? Are there any other non-rooted ways to accomplish this? Thanks

I bought a new PNY 8 gig memory card because my Kingston 2 gig wasnt enough. I backed up all my data to my computer, then moved it to the new PNY 8 gig. All my apps got screwed up, so I reset my phone through Fastboot. Afterwards, I had 143 mb free on the phone. I started to reinstall my apps and after maybe 8 apps my phone ran out of memory, and i had about 40mb left when i had like a million apps installed. What gives?

Sounds like you had apps2sd installed or are using cyanogen. Both allow installation of apps on the SD card in a separate partition.
I'd do a Nandroid backup from you old card via ROM Manager/Clockworkmod and restore. The Nandroid backup will save the contents of the apps partition.
Nah Im running liberated, I tried to partition the sd card but it kept failing so I gave up. I reset my phone and reinstalled the apps I backed up. Thanks though, im doing a nanroid backup right now

What was all the commotion about a while back regarding KitKat and SD cards? My phone seems to function EXACTLY the same as a phone running 4.2.2. I can move files about on the SD card, I can install appd to SD card, I can use third party apps to move files around on the SD card...

4.2.2?never seen on a note 3
The 4.2.2 part was in reference to my old phone, the Galaxy Mega 6.3

I am on MDK bootloader unlocked and one day I tried aosp and kitkat 4.4.2, it was running fine and I still could move app to sd card as usual but later I found out my sd card became useless, I still can use the card to store any thing but I cannot delete file that I stored from sd card and card cannot be formatted either. Does kitkat 4.4.2 broke the sd card? It seems that I can delete everything from card successfully but when I check card again, all files I deleted are still on the card. Does anyone have any idea?

Do you mean you back to touchwiz from aosp by restoring backup or by fresh install?

Google broke the SD card unless your rooted. The system can access the SD Card, but users can't write to it. If you have root you can edit the platform.xml and add R/W to media to fix the issue.
Samsung/ATT/T-Mobile could have fixed it but didn't. It's considered a security risk by Google, there are people that are for releasing the code as is and people that believe that Samsung should have addressed it.
My phone says my sdcard (SDXC Sandisk Ultra Plus 64gb) is blank or in an unrecognized format.
How do I fix it?
The sd card is FINE, ive backed up all files on my pc and my tablet recognizes it and can read and write to it.
-Things I have already tried-
CHKDSK on windows
Full reformat (exfat and NFTS)
Reformat on phone via settings
Reformat/wipe/partition on SafeStrap (freezes up)
Restoring a system backup
fschk via terminal (error)
reformating/partitioning /dev/block/void/somemountpointidontrenember
mount/unmount in terminal
-edit-
I have also tried replacing the sdcard slot with an old one from a broke s4, still not working
Try with it formatted to fat32. If it still doesn't work it's probably a hardware issue.

I am running MM (stock, unrooted, w/ unlocked BL) and have and SD card installed as portable storage (i had tried using it as internal a month or so ago and got completely screwed up for a few weeks, so am back to leaving it as portable).
In the past - before i formatted it as internal - i believe I had the option to move apps to the sdcard. I definitely had that option after formatting as internal. Now, I am not seeing that option at all. Do I need to do something special to allow moving of apps to the SD Card?
I am going to storage--> internal storage --> apps and scrolling down the list. When I select an app, i am expecting to see the option to move it to sd card. It's not there for any of the apps on the phone.
Don't think you can use move to SD on moto. Use something like link2sd or adaptive storage.

Thanks- so, you're saying that i probably am just remembering things incorrectly and likely the only time i previously moved the apps to SD on my XPE was when i had the SD card formatted as internal storage?

Not sure what you had but I tried that myself and got error that I can't move to SD on this phone. Forgot what the error was though.

Its a change from lollipop to marshmallow. Lollipop allows the moving of some apps to the SD card natively, marshmallow does not. Every app I've tried for app2sd doesn't work in marshmallow either.

I've had some SD Card problems as well, does that mean Migrate Data only moves personal non-app files to the other storage?
Using AppMgrIII to move apps to SD card
Running MM stock, not rooted. Using AppMgrIII and formatting the SD card as internal (really key here), I have moved many apps to the SD card. AppMgrIII tells you which can be moved, and then you go to the app, click on storage and move the app to the SD card. Some work on the first try, and some take two tries for some reason. I must have about 40 apps on my SD card. The only one that didn't work after moving was the Amazon Shopping app. It worked, but took forever to come up. Moved it back to internal and it's fine.

While this is a good work around, this breaks basic functionality of the SD card by itself. When you format it as internal, you cannot put it in a card reader and use it in your pc, which for me, is essential, especially when copying 20+ gigs at a time (128GB card). Also, if rooted and custom recovery, recovery will not read the card either.

I encrypted my sd card last week. Last night my wife and I exchanged phones. My S7E for her V20. I wiped the phone with the sd card still in it. Now all the files on the sd card are inaccessible. Is the any way possible to recover/decrypt those files?
I too would like to know if this is possible.

You can recover the deleted files from the SD card, but most likely you cannot decrypt the files, because the operating environment of your phone have changed.
