Has anyone who was not on the Nougat Beta been able to get adoptable storage to work on Nougat?
A little back story: I was on the beta and the other night I got the small update to go to Nougat. Unfortunately something went bad and my phone was stuck on the white Sprint screen. I took it to a Sprint corporate store and they flashed Marshmallow back on it. I got home and the phone immediately updated to the full 1.4gb Nougat. I've tried the adb commands that used to work and it no longer works. My SD card only shows half of what it is, so the old adoptable storage is still there, but not recognized. I know I can use disk management in Windows to delete that partition, but thought I'd start a thread on it if/when someone figures out how to do it on Nougat.

Hello, i decided today i wanted to go from 4.2.2 to 5.0.2 (mistype in title) on my D802 LG G2. Phone running stock with root but read up on it and people (xda for example) said the only thing that would happen was a loss of root, which didn't bother me that much. Fast forward to update completed and now the majority of my memory space on my 32GB LG G2 is gone. Going in to Settings > Storage it shows "Total space 32GB", and "Available 6.69GB". Looking further into it, going in to "Misc", there "System Data" taking up 21.86GB, which seems way more than it would have too.
I upgraded via the LG Mobile Support Tool from here: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-D802 and everything is working, expect the storage space issue.
Connecting the phone to my computer it says internal storage is 10.6GB, which leads me to believe somehow i've gotten the 16GB firmware, question is how since i upgraded via the LG Tool? The only weird thing is that the phone says in settings that total storage is 32GB.
So what is there to do now?

Did you use a file browser to review and delete unnecessary files?
Something went wrong with the LG update, used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50790181&postcount=49 and all is working well now.
Hi,
Lately, I got a Marshmallow update for my Moto X Play to which I upgraded and as I wasn't quite aware of the Encryption Policy for the same, I tried mixing my 64 GB Samsung MicroSD with my internal storage. It worked fine until I started having problems using the new Marshmallow upgrade. I decided to downgrade, did not bothered about decrypting the card before downgrading.
As soon as I downgraded the device to Lollipop, I found that I was no longer able to use the MicroSD in the same way I used to do it earlier. It was write protected and I was not able to decrypt in any way.
Googling didn't quite helped, and it looks like very few people have had similar problem.
Anyone having same issue? And any solution to this?
I think if you reformat the card you can start using it again, but you will lose all data.
Hi all,
after a good few weeks of no issue whatsover the adopted SD card in my play began failing - to the extent that it now gets checked by the system then disappears - i can see the card in linux but obv need the key to decrypt - cant get the key without rooting, cant root without wiping device.
before i bite the bullet and wave goodbye to all my stuff and start again i wanted to at least ask xda to see if there is any way to get this key otherwise
and my advice is never use the adopted storage feature
Thanks
Is your bootloader allready unlocked? If so, you can get root without wiping your data.
And yes, adopted storage is still very buggy
no boot loader not unlocked - device was relatively new so was waiting to unlock until i had a good reason :crying:
so i got the Samsung galaxy on5 metropcs sm-550t1 6.0.1 rooted and got the sd card to adopt.
that is what i want to do on my Samsung galaxy grand prime on5 metropcs sm-g530t1 5.1.1 phone. i really want to adopt the sd card. on this phone and so far what i have tried to do is open odin and in the ad field i entered a twrp zip file from the 550t1 phone and i hit start and it ran. so i unplugged the cable and rebooted the phone it started. so i did the up,power,home button and it did not start up in twrp. it started in the factory menu the says reboot etc.
so i did not do something correct that is for sure. the phone still looks like it did before i started this, but when i went to about phone and software update it said the operating system has been changed.
so i figure twrp did not flash int o the phone or i should see twrp when i do the up, power, home buttons.
so if i can't really root this phone and get adoptable storage as now i find some saying it can't be done? can i get back the phone to factory so when i hit the update button it does not say i changed the system? or won't that even matter any more as i may never get an update from Samsung on this phone again?
so this is what i'm looking for if at all possible
root the phone 5.1.1
adopt the sd card
update the os to 6.0.1
or
go back to factory originals for possible updates to the os to 6.0.1
or go back to factory as i still have 5.1.1 on it?
thanks for any help
Hello All,
I have a Galaxy S5 that I must keep encrypted because it is a work phone and my workplace requires that it be encrypted.
I recently tried to add an SD Card (tried 3 different sizes and 3 different brands) and got the dreaded cannot mount cannot encrypt error loop.
I searched the net and found numerous complaints that all seem to point to the Android OS rather than a specific phone. I am using 6.0.1 on my phone.
I did not find any solution posted anywhere.
I am wondering though, has anyone tried to decrypt the phone, unlock the screen, add the sd card, then re-lock the screen, and re-encypt the phone ?
I did not see anyone post anywhere that they tried this.
Any helpful hints appreciated.
It Is Not Fixed
I have tried every method I have found from searches including ones from later Samsung unit forums and none of them work.
The only thing I have not tried is factory reset because it is a work phone and it will blow away all of the work apps and getting them restored will take weeks.
I cannot even try to decrypt the phone because it is Marshmallow 6.0.1 and decrypt does not work. You have to factory reset the phone to start all over.
I have decided to leave the micro sd card in the phone in the hopes that next OTA update will see it and apply some fix to allow it to work.
This Encyption stuff is really a doomsday. I have an identical phone slightly older but still a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow 6.0.1 unencrypted and it takes the micro SD card with no problems and works great.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ENCRYPT YOUR PHONE, JUST DO NOT!!!
The encryption does not really work anyway. If you connect your phone to a pc and enter your password for the lock screen, all of your internal files are visible once you tap file transfer from the notification pull down.
So encryption does nothing beyond the lock screen. If someone can bust your lock screen password, they've got everything.
