Hi, so I've been having trouble following this tutorial about how to set the external SD as adoptive storage.
I get up to step 4 where it asks to write the commands
Write:
>> sm list-disks
We will read something like: disk:179,64
>> sm set-force-adoptable true
>> sm partition disk:179,64 private
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
list-disks goes fine - but when I try to enter:
>> sm set-force-adoptable true
I am returned the error:
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Adoptable storage not available on device with native FBE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is it possible to sort this out? I'm on Oreo on a PRA-LX1, dual SIM.
+1 - please help
Hi you can try this flashable zip made to enable adoptable storage. I didn't make it, just sharing!
I used it in a Samsung A8 if I remind correctly, and it worked like a charm

I want to use the feature that allows the SD card to be used as Internal storage rather than Portable storage. When I go to Settings-Storage there are no 3 bar, "settings" to allow me to chose to change my current SD card to act as Internal storage. It only Identifies it as Portable storage. It does the same thing when I put in a new SD card. I have a second Galaxy S5 that does exactly the same time so it would appear that the Verizon S5 doesn't support that feature of Marshmallow. Any suggestions?

Samsung removed Adopted Storage because they were too lazy to make it work.
The trick to make it work on the S7 does work on the S5.
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Instead of the : separator I had to use , as the separator to match what I saw in the responses to adb commands.
use the same character you see between the disk numbers after you execute the "sm list-disks" command.
Adoptable Storage Hack Not Working
My son and I each have a 16GB Samsung Galaxy S5, and have followed the procedure listed in Paul O'Brien's article for the S7. Neither of us saw any errors, but it is apparent that the S5 is not using the newly-prepared SD card. My son was getting low memory warnings, which prompted him to try this out. The problem is that he is still getting the warnings after setting up a fast 32GB SD card. Has anyone had the same experience? Has anyone solved the problem?

Don't blame Big Red for this, this is the doing of Samsung
make sure you have the latest version of adb installed before executing commands. data ratio is done with this , instead of this :

To be clear before I try this (sorry if this is a stupid question), would you replace both : with , ?
Like this: 'sm partition disk,179,160 private'
OR just the : in the ratio itself
Like: 'sm partition disk:179,160 private'
Thanks!

I was having the same issue. Then, in the comments of the linked article I found the following step, which worked for me:
After following the steps to set it to private: Settings > Storage > SD card > More. Migrate your data
That seemed to do the trick for me. It now shows tons of storage even when plugged into my PC. So far so good. I'll report back if I run into any issues with it.
Worked for me

Followed all the steps for my GS5. I thought it was a dud at first, until I realized that I forgot to replace the : with a komma. Worked like a charm! Verizon be damned! Good luck.
My app downloads are still being saved to the phone internal storage, not the adopted storage on the SD card. Shouldn't have to migrate data do SD if S5 supports adoptable storage. Anyone know a workaround or a solution. Thanks.
After following all of the steps with ADB, it seems like I'm successful, but when I reboot, my new, formatted, working SD card (Lexar MicroSDHC 633x 32GB) comes up as corrupt. Any ideas?
(I tried using Root essentials too -tried both methods 4 or 5 times... but no dice)
For those of you that got adoptable storage working - what ROM are you on. I'm trying to figure out if Touchwiz is what's blocking it for me - do you have to be on a CM13 build?
@Nova5 ? @[email protected] ? @kuyankee ? @Mortis13 ?
Thanks!
To make it work on the s5 you need adb, connect the phone by USB and issue the commands through adb on the desktop. Samsung hid the option from the gui.

@Nova5 - thanks. But as I mentioned in the previous post, I've tried it on adb on the desktop. Looks/acts like it works, but when I reboot, the SD card shows up as corrupted. Everything I've read seems like it SHOULD be able to work, but I'm running into a dead end with every tip I get.
Have you done it and gotten it to work? What ROM are you on? What SD card are you using?
(Those are the only variables I can think of that would be causing me a problem.)
Im running my stock rom, non-rooted VZW S5 with it, used the ADB commands, many reboots. No problems. You do have to ignore the bizarre memory count in the Storage settings. When Samsung removed the UI for Adoptable, they also prevented it from properly calculating it. It works, but it just counts wrong. I used a 128Gig Silicon Power Ultra1 class card. Did a 25/75 split so that I have a decent sized user accessible space.
"sm partition disk:179,160 mixed 25"
Was the command I used (change numbers to match your discovered disk numbers) the 25 is what percentage you want to give to adopted internal memory.
Running fine and has been since I posted on June 3rd. Start with a totally blank card, no partitions at all. get into developer settings, enable USB debugging, use ADB, connect, issue command. Wait while it processes. Sometimes its seconds, sometimes minutes. If you're using a custom rom, that could be the problem. Samsung half crippled it, but it still works
Is link2sd still not working with marshmallow? Not being affable to really move apps to the adoptable storage was really killing me, had to downgrade to 5.0

If the phone is rooted, I believe there is an app that you can install that will set it up for you. Otherwise you have to enter some commands using ADB shell.
I used this guide to get mine going. Don't forget to migrate data when you are done!
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
As you may all know Samsung disabled the Adoptable storage function in the Tab S and Tab S2. Even the well known S7 hack doesn't work on the Tab S.
Well now it's back...
Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.
I have created this patch to fix the issue by patching the boot image and replacing sm.jar in system.
This will enable the adoptable storage feature in Settings>Storage
NOTE: as yet this is untested on the S2 but should work as it does on the Tab S. Someone please report back with info.
I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.
INSTALL:
Copy the zip below to your device then install with TWRP.

For information how to enable adoptable storage see the guide below:

This enables it natively in settings.

Once installed, did you tap on the card in the STORAGE section where it says "corrupt"? Or did you try a new card? I've tried with a 128gb (which was already in my device as a first test) and a 64gb which I am currently using.
Yes, i tapped on the card in the storage section.it doesn't says corrupt. My card was already in my device as mobile storage before flashing this patch. When i click on my sd card, i have two options: unmount and format. When i click on format it says: format as mobile storage. Sorry for my bad english my device is in french and i don't speak english very well

Hey guys I've been trying for a while to get adoptable storage working on my AT&T s7 edge 935a with 6.0.1 with a 256gb sd that came with a Samsung promotion using the adb instructions and it isn't working is the US AT&T version not compatible or am I missing a step i also tried using a app called essential tools and it wants me to flash a file called asplugin.zip but the flash is never successful my phone also has root access. Is there any other know work around to enable adoptable storage I have been working on this for days now and 32gb of phone storage for apps just isn't enough for me. after i type sm partition disk:179,0 private it just does nothing ive also tried doing it mixed thinking that mayb the size was just to large but still nothing
[email protected]:/ # sm list-disks
disk:179,0
[email protected]:/ # sm partition disk:179,0 private
Mine, worked following the walk thru here. is your phone rooted?
Any solutions found regarding this? I'm having the same exact issue. I think Samsung removed adoptable storage completely from the newer firmware. We may need to downgrade.
try XinternalSD module...it changed my sd card to internal storage for everything.

I am having the same issue. Is rooting required? I thought the whole magic of Modaco's adb "hack" was that you could do it without rooting the phone.

Same problem here. I had a 128GB (SanDisk) SD that had 2 corrupted files that would not allow deleletion and I mistakenly thought those were causing the problem. I plugged in a 64GB (SanDisk) and today bought a new 128GB (Samsung). I haven't been able to change any of them to 'private'. The "list-disks" command returns 179,0, but the "sm partition disk:179,0 private" just returns immediately to the command prompt in the adb shell.
Everyday I like this phone less and less.
Adoptable storage was disabled in the recent ATT firmwares. If you enabled it on an older firmware when it was still possible, it seems like it carries over to newer firmwares (but i cant comfirm this, maybe someone else could). If you MUST have adoptable storage, maybe ODIN one of the older ATT firmswares and enable it. ATT disabled it when we were still on V2 bootloader, so its not possible to revert if youre on the newer v4 bootloader firmwares.
Another option is installing the U firmware and enable it there. But you'll lose wifi calling and other carrier specific features
You can easily do this using root essentials app from app store..
Root is required for this.
It works 100% just one issue that is ir doesn't report the correct available space.
Still looking for that solution.
So im trying to get an SD Card to work as internal storage. Found several instructions on how to and they all make use of the sm command within ADB-shell. However this command cannot be found on this device. I tried with my phone and there it works. both devices are unrooted, the tab runs android 5.1.1 (latest available)
What can I do to get this dommand onto the tab? Can i somehow copy it over from ym phone?

AFAIK Samsung disabled android's adoptable storage function on its phonres. Were you using your sd card as inernal storage on another phone?

Yes, HTC allows that. Samsung removed that option because of the changes they made to their custom kernel.
What aboot the "force allow apps on external" setting in dev options? Wouldn't this allow apps to be installed on the sdcard first?

There is a build.prop for it that is off in stock. Regardless there's nothing stopping you from doing this as root so rooted the answer is definitely yes. As for rootless I don't think it's possible unfortunately.
