Fix what exactly? Lollipop doesn't support adopted storage, it is a new feature in Marshmallow...

Lollipop doesn't support adoptable storage (but does allow app2sd to some degree). If the phone will not allow your card to be formatted as internal storage, it is most likely a problem with the SD card. What type of SD card is it (brand, speed, etc.)? Where and when did you buy it?

Adoptable Storage and replacement phone

My phone started rebooting constantly during calls and t-mobile replaced it, I am using a 64gb SD card as adoptable storage, when I got the new phone and inserted the SD card, it said the card is not recognized, I put it back in the old phone and it works fine. I assume it's because it's encrypted to the old phone.
Is there a way to make the new phone recognize it without reformatting and restoring or buying another one and doing the adoptable storage first and then transferring?
this is a deal breaker for adoptable storage for me if I can't transfer without restore or without a second card in the new phone.
Called Samsung and T-mobile and they are both clueless.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Sam
Pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work.

You might have to reformat by selecting the SD card from the storage setting. I had to do the same but my phone wasn't rebooting, just wouldn't read the card without formatting first.
So from what i've been reading, cause i was considering going adoptable storage, once you do it it's tied to the old phone and you would have to reformat the card and re-do the adoptable storage for a new phone or higher capacity sd card if you went up a size.
My question is can you back up the data on the card in the old phone to a pc or through smart switch for pc before putting it in the new phone and starting over? i think that may be the only way.
Keep us posted i'd like to know as well as i was planning on buying an sd card this weekend for the device.

I was up until midnight trying to get this going and no luck. the only solution was to back it up with smart switch (which I did before messing with the card and phones) and reformat and restore.
Samsung support said that I should just remove it from one phone and plug it into the other and it should see everything. T-mobile had no clue about what I was talking about with adoptable storage....
I am up and running but it was not a clean process. so if your phone dies, you are SOL and if you need to replace it, you need to back it up and restore.
the reason I decided to go with adoptable storage was because I have a synology NAS and it can't back up from an SD card so by having the adoptable storage it would defeat the SD card limitation but I guess it's back to looking for another backup solution.
Thanks!

No SD card after update to 6.0

Hi! I have updated my P8lite to Android 6.0 using Huawei update.
Now it says I don't have a SD card anymore.
I have read that marshmallow can make your SD act like internal storage, but the phone storage is ~10 gb and the SD is about 64 gb.
So, how can I get my (hopefully not blank) SD card back?

Check your card with adaptor on pc.
MM doesn't automatically change your sd card as internal memory, you can choose between options, but on huawei, mm doens't change anything.
I have no idea what you did, but it's not from firmware.
I figured it out. I formatted the sd card again using different settings.

migrating to new SD card with adoptable storage enabled

Hello,
Just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on how to install a new SD card when you already have adoptable storage enabled. I'm assuming I could power down the phone and copy everything over, but my new SD card is 200gb vs 128gb installed. I'm worried the partition table wouldn't be set properly.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Jaime
I haven't tried but perhaps unmounting the SD card would help?

The data stored on your card must be moved back to the internal storage in order to avoid breaking your apps. You can do that from the internal storage menu. If you can't fit everything, you'll have to delete things until you're under the limit. At that point, you can go back into the SD card storage menu and format it as "portable", meaning it will work in other devices. If there's any data still on it, you will lose it. Then put in the new card and set it up for "adoptable" as the previous card was.

SD card with all my data on it, now saying Unsupported after flashing new ROM

I was running stock until today, with a Sandisk SD card formatted as internal storage because my phone was full.
After flashing a new ROM though, it's saying that the SD card is unsupported. I don't want to format it because it still has all my photos and videos on, is there anything I can do?
I presume when it gets formatted to work as 'internal storage' is gets formatted to extfs or something like that so Windows won't be able to read it to get the files off right?
Any ideas?
try using a card reader and see if it can read the data. worth a shot atleast.

If it was internal it is encrypted and AFAIK only usable with the device it was originally created with without altering the OS. So, from my point of view, no chance to get the data back. Maybe with some special tools, but that I don't know...

J500fn adoptable storage

I have an UHS 3 micro SD card but when I use it with my current ROM as adoptable storage slows it down drastically. Was wondering if there's another ROM I can use with pixel launcher that would utilize the SD card faster
I am currently using RR 5.8.5

Hi,
can you give me a hint what you did to have adoptable storage enabled? Thanks.

Hi wings02760,
as far as I know the original Samsung ROM does not allow format as internal, so I assume you did soemthing before to enable that option? Or where did you find it to format as internal.
Thanks, Gescha
I have Resurrection Remix installed
I had the same problem, but I repaired it. I have RR too. Put your card to your computer and format it with Windows (I recommend full format, not fast). Then, you put your SD card to your phone and format it as an internal storage. If that won't work, I have no idea how to help you, except of buying another SD card.
