SD Card Problem with Magisk >= 14.3 on Stock Rom - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

As written above I see a problem with Magisk beginning with version 14.3.
After updating to newer versions of magisk neither my 128gb nor a 64gb card are usable with the Axon. This behaviour is independent from the stock Nougat version (B06G, B08G, B13china). Also it doesn't matter which filesystem I'm using.
If I split the card into two same sized partitions the first one will be recognized but not the second one. There seems to be an adressing failure introduced by magisk but only for the Axon as far I can see. I assume there will alse be no problem with Lineage or other non stock systems. In the magisk beta thread noone cares about.

I'm on magisk 14.5, B08 A2017G and I've got Zero Issues with my 64Gb Sandisk Extreme V30 A1.
We're missing too much information anyway, sorry I don't have a crystal ball.
- Please provide modules
- Are you, or did u use ExSD modules?
- Brand of Sdcards
- etc.

Hey, I'm facing a similar issue after trying out MiFavor 5.0 (rooted with Magisk) and coming back to B32 rooted with Magisk 14.5 as well.
My SD card is: Samsung 64GB Evo+.
I tried using a 32GB Sandisk and it worked fine.
I've split my 64GB SD Card into two partitions (FAT32) and that has been working for me.
No Magisk modules installed, Magisk hide enabled, Systemless hosts enabled, my device is A2017U.

I guess you use your SDcard just as internal memory. This way magisk 14.3 is also working for me.

I'm confused, how else are you using it? Fused storage or with apps installed on it?

I use my card as ext_SD so I can recover my files on the card if the phone itself is dead. No way to do so if you format it as internal storage

Oh, yeah, I'm totally doing that as well, sorry about the confusion. To me "Internal storage" is called "Fused Storage" or whatever Google called it last time ^^ : I can remove the SD card and put it in a USB reader anytime.
It's partitionned in exfat as well. I don't have any weird module in Magisk like "ExtSD access" or that kind of thing, but I got no problems using TitaniumBackup or any other app to record on it.
Have you had any issues with B08 tho? I had to install System first, and bootstack+modem second (can't remember the packages exactly). It might have to do with your ROM more than Magisk I think...

Please look at my first post to see the concerned versions. I've uninstalled magisk from twrp and reinstalled it again. I've reduced it to core functions only. No matter what I do the problem persist. And as you can read above I'm not the only one who is concerned from this bug.

Is it the same if your SD card is ExFAT?
Have you tried flashing the latest Magisk Uninstaller, booting, and flashing 14.5 beta?

SD Card gets detected as "damaged" if it's exFAT. I've let Android format it multiple times (as portable storage) but that doesn't help. If i try to format it as Internal storage, it works but it becomes "invisible" on any file manager and when I open Storage (from settings) it force closes.
I haven't tried that. going to try as soon as I can!
Edit: Flashing the latest Magisk Uninstaller(don't forget to flash twrp again hehe), booting, and flashing 14.5 beta worked! My SD Card no longer gets detected as damaged, thanks!

[Q] SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem

Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900T running the AllianceRom 3.1 made for G900F. I use an external SD Card SanDisk 16GB and since yesterday I never had a problem.
So, now I'm experiencing this error: "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" on Notification Panel. When I click on it, android asks me if I want to format the card, I click OK, and at the end the same problem occurs.
Things I already tried to do:
1) I tested the SD Card into another Galaxy S5 and it's running OK without the problem;
2) I formatted the SD card (full format) on a windows computer. Windows recognizes it, and it's running OK;
3) I checked the file vold.fstab on /etc folder and it has the same content as another Galaxy S5 that is running OK the SD card;
4) I re-flashed the AllianceRom 3.1;
[EDIT 1]
5) Tried to wipe the SD Card using TWRP Recovery (as image 1 attached)
6) Tried to partitioning using TWRP Recovery (as image 2 attached)
[EDIT 2]
7) I bought another SD Card, a Samsung 64GB and when I insert it on device I don't get this error, but also not able to mount, it doesn't even recognizes the SD card.
p.s. I searched a lot on XDA, even on Google, and those was the possible solutions I've found, but didn't work for me.
Does someone experienced this problem and was able to fix?
Does anyone knows another alternative that could work?
Thanks in advance

Copy the content of the sdcard to the pc and format the card on the phone itself, that should fix the issue.

Have you tried another SD card in your phone? EDIT: Nevermind this bit
When you plug the SD card into your handset (do it while it's off) Does the SD Storage show anything?
You could try formatting it in another handset if you have the chance then try plugging it in.
Are you using stock Sammy firmware? Or have you installed a custom kernel? Could be one of those playing havoc with your device if so, back up and revert to stock if you can, retest the SD in there.
Test to see if you can retrieve data from the SD card, i've found that although SD cards show up in windows, when I attempt to copy data to the PC it fails, when I say fail I mean it stops progressing and doesn't copy, particular files appear corrupt.
You could also do a chkdsk /f /r via windows on the SD card, or even a general error check.
chances are one of these things will be the culprit, if none and it's still working in another phone and other cards are working in your device then i'm stumped.
Good luck
I would try philz recovery, i had all kinds of problems with twrp on my note 3 and s5 until switching. Not knocking twrp this is just my experience

I formatted my device right now and installed Samsung stock firmware with stock kernel. I also tried to get back to stock recovery, then installed CWM and TWRP, but the same problem
I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem, because I tried everything and nothing happened.

Quite an odd one that, i'm a little stumped.
did you try error checking on windows? OR even a format in a different handset? OR a different card in your phone to see if to see if it reads?
On the other hand if the phone isn't that old, return it, 28 day swap should be good if you're in time, otherwise it's back to sammy.
sorry I can't be of more help m8.

HEEELLLPPPP
Thanks

Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
Have you found a solution to the OP?
I have an S5 too and it's doing exactly the same. I tried a 64GB Sandisk and Samsung cards, both work flawlessly in PC, MAC and even a different phone. WTH???? My 32GB Sandisk works well in the GAlaxy S5 too, I am about to see if it blends....

Same here. My phone already went in for repair for this and the front camera ring falling issue. Mine was preordered and shipped at launch. It worked a few weeks and now has stopped again. Simply won't recognize any SD cards. I tried an old 2GB, a Kingston 16GB, a Lexar 32GB from my GoPro, and a Sandisk 64GB. All cards work elsewhere, but my S5 never indicates anything is inserted. This is my first Samsung, and it might be my last. I never experienced issues like this on an HTC.
Any progress here? I just got a sweet 64g card Samsung because my others have worked well BUT...
S5 Blank SD card of death. ....

Problem to configure adoptable storage on Marshmallow - Galaxy A5 2016

You can try this.
Please ensure to make a backup of your boot and system partition with twrp before installing.
Install the zip below with twrp then reboot.
Go to settings>storage then tap the sdcard.
You should see the adoptable storage options.

So there is no information why on the stock version the mentioned commands do not work accordingly?
My phone actually needs to stay stock hence no option for the zip this time.

Of course it wipes your sd card, that's what it's meant to do.
I don't understand the issue? [emoji53]

Don't worry about the combined incorrect storage capacity. It seems to common on all Samsung devices. Just pay attention to the individual storage capacity of internal and external which will be correct.
To make sure you are using the external Sdcard as default location tap the sd card and choose migrate data.
Hi ashyx,
I think I went through all the required steps:
- installed TWRP on my SM-A510F
- backed up system+boot partitions
- and finally installed the "adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx_13916.zip" ZIP through TWRP.
However, once I rebooted, contrary to popeye331, I did NOT have any more options after I went to "Settings > Storage > SDCard" . Only "Format" and "Unmount" were shown, and after I chose "Format" it only offered me to format it as portable storage. After that was completed, I did NOT have a "New SD Card detected" notification as reported by popeye331.
Have I missed sopmething? Was I supposed to root my device by installing SuperSU via TWRP with your custom "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip" file??
I hope you can help me as this is driving me nuts ... I wish I bought the HTC One A9 instead of the Galaxy A5 2016 now, I didn't know Samsung was the "Apple" equivalent in the Android ecosystem...
Thanks in advance,
Laurent
PROBLEM SOLVED !! Needed to disable Zip signature verification in TWRP !!
Ok, my bad, problem identified and solved !!!
I did not actually pay enough attention to the log messages during installation of the "adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx_13916.zip" file through TWRP...
It did display an error message in red stating "Zip signature verification failed", and aborted installation tight after that, but somehow I missed it, rebooted thinking installation had succeeded, and didn't understand why it didn't work...
I only realised my mistake while going through the install procedure a second time. When I noticed the error message I thought at first the Zip might be corrupted, then I Googled the error message and I got the explanation:
Before installing this Zip file, you MUST TURN OFF the "Zip verification" option in TWRP !!!
Once I did that and attempted the installation again, the process went smoothly and succeeded, and after reboot I proceeded exactly as popeye331 explained, the process being actually a bit strange:
You must first format the SD card, but when you first format it you are only presented with the option to format it as portable storage.
HOWEVER, ONCE the formatting has gone through, you do indeed see a notification about a new SD Card being detected, and if you open this notification you are prompted to format the SD card either as portable storage or as internal storage... SO you just have to opt for the latter, and after the card is configured as internal storage it will move some application data onto it for you.... Once this is done it is strongly advisable to reboot, because you might still see the external SD card if your phone is plugged in throuh USB... After you reboot, you will only see one unified storage labelled "Phone" (although you still see the SD card and internal storage as separated entities in Settings > Storage on the device).
Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH ashyx for your excellent work, I'm going to make a little donation to you right away to express my gratitude and thank you for all your efforts !!! :good:
Cheers,
Laurent

[Q]What's the best way to merge SD card w/ internal memory on the SM-T280?

As my question states, I'm looking to free up some space on my son's SM-T280. It's only 8GB internal, and even with moving most apps over to SD, he's starting to get 'memory full' messages.
If the SM-T280 had Marshmallow, I understand it would be rather easy, but we're still stuck in 5.1.1 land.
I figured I'd go the route of installing jedld's Tinker V5 ROM and playing with Xposed modules.
If anybody has any other suggestions or helpful advice, I'd be forever grateful!
EDIT: I'm already rooted with TWRP Recovery installed via ODIN. What about Magisk? I'm not really familiar with it, only played with Xposed a little bit on my Note4...
if you have root, what about just using APP2SD. it does not merge but does move the full apps over with a link
Link2SD also works on Lollipop (not Marshmallow)
That's pretty much what I'm doing now, but some/most apps won't install or even let you move them over to the SD card, so APPS2SD is pretty limited. I appreciate the reply, tho.
Most if not all apps i have downloaded from the play store were able to be moved to the sd card with link2sd.

make sure you have the right mounting script and setting. I had simlar issue but eventually got the mounting to work and then everything was fine (some supersu setting changes were required)
Use "apk editor pro" app! It makes non-movable apps movable!! Its extremely easy to use!!!
I just use an app called Apps2SD (pro works best) and partition my SD card to have two PRIMARY partitions, make em exFAT for first and ext4 for the second. I used a tool on Windows called MiniTool Partition Wizard which is free to do so. And that took care of that for me. Good luck

SM-J320F Setting External SD card as Internal

Hi all,
I'm new to smartphones and this is my first phone . I'm trying to sent external SD card as internal storage. Issue is that phone has only 8GB of ROM and by default 3.2 is System and 3.5 is Used space. So there is just a tiny space left on the internal memory. Android version is 5.1.1. I have rooted it with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and SuperSU. SD card is Kingstone SDca3/32GBn0557-004A00LF.
I have been reading a lot of tuturials to make external memory internal with no luck. I have tried adb tools, formating it with Mini Tool Partition Wizard-DroidThunder, a2sd, Link2SD, etc... I'm also OK with installing custom ROMs that will enable me to make internal memory of my SD card.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks xD.

Ah yes, forgot this device uses a Spreadtrum chipset so will likely never get an update.

Sorry for the late response, I finally manage to get a day off. Thank you all for helping me xD. I wil install Lineage 14.1 and I have some questions. I was able to find this one LOS 13 and this is Android 6.0. I have also find this on youtube How To Install Android 7.1.2 Nougat on Samsung Galaxy J3 Nougat Custom Rom Lineage OS 14.1 but I'm unable to download ROM, the link is not working. I'm OK with any version of Android that will allow me to get SD as internal.

I was able to install RR 8.5.8 with Android 7.1, SD card is formated as internal storage. It's OK for now, but still when I go to storage internal SD and external appear as to separate cards. I have migrated all the stuff to external. Some app. do not have option to move to external SD card. Both cards are appearing as separate units. I have seen this tutorial https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-format-microsd-cards-as-internal-storage. It appears that both cards are seen as one by the Android. This is exactly what I want. I have been trying this article with no joy. Can some one please explain me that exactly I need to do? Thanks XD!
hello there i am also interested in getting this done for a friend...would love to know your results so far as of what little i know about spreadtrum devices they are notoriously hard to work with and tend to brick quite often.. @1Igrach if you could post your results regarding this issue it would be much appreciated thank you

Samsung SD Card corrupted | All Kernels

Hey guys, I've run into a little of an issue. I flashed various kernels on my AZMPM with stock android 8.1 , however none of them is correctly supporting my 64GB Samsung Sd card. It just says corrupted. When I format it by pressing the pop up,it says SD card ready ,but then again it says SD card corrupted. the first time I popped in a 16GB Samsung SD card ,it gave the same error,then I formatted it on my phone itself,it gave an erro,I popped out the card and popped it back into the phone and Voila! No problem! Everything is fine. However the same is not happening with my 64GB card, it just says SD card corrupted! fix now! I fix it then again error.
Please help.

1. Try reformatting the sd card via pc with correct format
2. Check if the card works correctly in some other phone
3. If the card gives you same issue in other phone then kindly replace it.
4. All the kernels out there are almost stable for daily driver now so maybe its not a kernel issue now.
5. Try flashing your stock firmware again, maybe it would work.

Thank you for replying ,but there is no issue with the memory card. I have gone back to stock rom plus kernel,with the 20th Sept OTA through TWRP file,now there is no issue with the card. Am I doing something wrong? I just flashed a kernel on top of the stock rom through twrp that gave me max clock speeds of 2208mhz on the bigger cores and 1800 something on the smaller cores. Everything was fine but the memory card.

Even i cant explain how this happens to you bro, but remember to wipe cache/dalvik cache even after flashing a new kernel or rom (not necessary for kernels but as a clean & safe side i recommend )
