I want to know the whole criteria of Lenovo-A3000 storage, I mean it has an Internal Storage, also an SD card, So:
1- is SD card included inside the Internal Storage?
2- is SD card separated by accessed through the Internal Storage?
3- is SD card totally separated?
and Now, if I choose to wipe data/ factory reset from some recovery tool like CWM, is that will wipe all data including SD card data?
and at last, why the device reads the SD card as it's at /data/media directory while this is not obvious when accessing the Internal storage through some file manager or through the PC usb ?

Internal SD card is just an emulated storage. This means, that the INTERNAL STORAGE (not accessible without root privilegies) is /data and INTERNAL SD CARD is /data/media. When you wipe data/cache using recovery, it wipes /data and /cache EXCEPT /data/media. When you wipe INTERNAL SD CARD, it wipes ONLY /data/media
Great Info

Great topic from TWRP
I found also this great topic from TWRP team which declares clearly the Data/Media behavior
Hi, I'm using Dirty Unicorns on my Redmi2. Since it's marshmallow, I'm using adoptable storage, i.e. using my sd card as internal storage, so I can install apps to the sd card. but since this mode formats and encrypts the sd card, I can't access files that I want to flash with TWRP when booting recovery. I thought TWRP 3 was supposed to support adoptable storage, but even after updating it I can't seem to get it working. Am I forgetting something here?
Thanks in advance.
Where in the Aroma File manager are you Searching for your SD card ? Pls attach a Screenshot of the directory , using root explorer
You must identify where exactly your adoptable SD card mounted to. You can search for it using CM File manager. It should be like /mnt/storage/XXX.
Hi All,
I flashed a RESURRECTION REMIX MM V5.7.4 which is running 6.0.1. I then choose to convert my 64gb SD card to adopted (unified) internal storage. I am now having issues flashing new zips in recovery mode. I'm currently using TWRP 3.0.2-1.
When choosing the install option i cant find the internal or external files under any of the folders. I can no longer select the adopted storage to flash from or backup to. the internal storage is showing from the root "/" folder.
Can anyone help to and tell me how to flash zips and how i can backup to my sd card ?
Cheers
If i format my SD Card as internal storage on stock ROM and than change my ROM. Will it still be readable in new OS? or i will have to format it again and lose my data.
Easy
Just Flash "NoEncryption.zip" File
This will remove your Internal Storage Encryption !
You can access Internal Storage Using TWRP

What do you mean access internal storage on TWRP? You mean when you try to flash img. From internal storage then your internal storage is 0mb?
Sorry for my bad english pls understand thanks
