but still have the problem
the available space in the internal memory is 0 !! >> I cant believe that but this wat my phone says
I don't know wat to do with this problem !!
any one can help me ?!
If you have already wiped data and still have problem you need to install a different rom. Sounds like a bug.

[Q] Memory card issue after flashing 7.1.0

Hello members.
I just found a strange issue that I have started facing lately whenever I try to flash a custom ROM on my Defy.
Current stock ROM was 2.2.2
I rooted it and tried This ROM. After flashing it I realized my Proximity sensor stopped working after sometime and my memory card was out of space according to my cell though Astro and ES explorer could access it and I could play music too but my cell still said that Available memory was 0 ( It had 1GB free memory )
Then I changed the ROM to 2.3.7 posted by Quarx hoping it would solve my issue but I had same 2 issues again.
My stock ROM is working perfectly and is not showing any issues. Please tell me what do I do ?
I want to use custom ROMs real bad :3

1) after taking the nandroid backup of ur stock rom .. clear the cache from stock recovery..
2) then u come to custom recovery (via CWM) and wipe data/factory reset and than u install CM7 and flash Gapps .. then wipe cache & dalvik cache ...Reboot
i think u wont be having any problem after doing this..
Cheers
I have the sbf file of the Stock Rom so thats not an issue. I did try the steps you told me to follow but I had the same problems ! Dont know whats causing it.

No. First I inserted sd card but unfortunately it was corrupted so I had to remove it. Since phone wasn't accepting the SD card it never gave me option to set it as internal or portable storage. Internal was unavailable from the beginning itself however internal storage is accessible in Stock, beta 5 firmware . I also tried to re flash but no success.

Format SD Card from PC. then use it again.
I recommended use a faster (XC or HC) SD Card.(Class 10) for better performance.
While flashing it takes long time why so?

Bcoz.... Flashing a ROM means install a new OS on the system(device). It format partitions and install whole OS on it.
Also boot time takes longer than usually for first time.
I am in this same screen for more then 10min right now I m n blissrom 6.0

Hi,
I faced the same problem as you.
The solution that worked for me is...
You can set up the device's internal in settings-->Storage and USB
For the Card do this...
Go to the developers options and enable root access and local terminal.
Open the terminal app and type
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and hit enter. Allow root access.
Type
sm list-disks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see the disk's name i.e. SD card. If you don't see it. Format your card as FAT32 from PC first and then try.
Now type
sm set-force-adoptable true
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait for it... Now there should be a card ready to be set up in the notification bar.

SD card not detected/shown when connecting to PC

Dear fellows,
This is a very unpleasant situation. I have flashed the Marshmallow ROM of artas182x:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...shmallow-note-3-t3349306/page109#post69202143
Everything is PERFECT, even FDE is working! But when I connect the phone to my laptop,
I can only see the Internal memory, but I can NOT see my SD card, hence I can't copy any
files to it directly. I need to copy to the Internal memory and then move the files on the
phone, which is a quite annoying 2-step process.
I have decided to post a new thread for this, because Artas is not replying to my posts
and not even to a PM which I sent him.
PLEASE help me, as this is the only ROM which has encryption working. I have tried
Slim ROM, Phronesis, DarkLord and also VisionX (Lollipop) and none of them has
encryption working, it always fails with something I'm sooooo frustrated
Many many thanks in advance!
i would install the Samsung USB drivers .
Format the sd card .

Hello and thanks for your reply, but I am not sure, that this will solve my problems, because...
With all the ROMs - Slim, Darklord, Phronesis - when I connect the phone to the laptop,
in Windows Explorer I can see Internal Storage and next to it - SD card.
Just with the ROM of Artas - when I connect it to the laptop, I only see Internal Storage.
Isn't there some setting for this, some file that I can edit or (re)move or I don't know, just
something. How it can be that with EVERY ROM I tried, the SD card is seen on the PC,
just not with the ROM of Artas. Thank you.
P. S.: Or perhaps there is a way to take the drivers/modules responsible for SD card from
another ROM and put it in Artas' ROM ?
Your using Marshmallow, are you using your SDcard as portable or integrated storage? if you have formatted the SD as internal storage it will now be an encrypted partition only accessible by the phone itself. Connecting to desktop will only show the internal data storage. If you want direct access to SD card, format it as portable... if still not working reboot to TWRP Recovery, enable MTP and mount SD storage along with system partition, sd storage should be executable on the desktop. You can also decrypt the Marshmallow SD internal storage but its another story.
Hello jordanpa and many thanks for replying to my problem!
I should have written about this as well - I did NOT format the card as internal storage.
I am using it as emergency rescue - keeping a copy of the Slim ROM and TWRP there,
because several times it happened that the Internal storage got completely wiped and
I needed to have something to flash in order to get the phone running.
So, this is not the cause of the problem, unfortunately... Please suggest something else.
P. S.: Could that be caused by a virus/malware ??? What can I do, in order to rule out this possibility ?

You need to format it first time to be used on 6.0.1.

If you are regularly flashing custom ROM's and wiping system partition etc you can pretty much rule out malware or virus, especially when diagnosing function issues like reading partitions. The most vulnerable devices are those running on the same stock firmware with no anti-virus and outdated security patches.
Check the permissions for each partition, It will need to be readable for not just the phone.

Nope, I was trying Darklord and Phronesis based on Marshmallow. I have read somewhere, that encryption has been implemented much better and more secure on Marshmallow. On Lollipop I only tried VisionX which was working very well, but again it failed to encrypt my device.
About the malware/virus - this is another problem that I have on another phone. Maybe I wrote this by mistake in this thread...
In Device manager I see 2 unknown devices:
CDC Serial
SAMSUNG_Android
I tried the buttons update driver - Windows didn't find nothing.
Then I tried to uninstall the driver and replug the phone - after a while it gave me:
The driver software was not successfully installed
What can be done, please advise on how this can be solved ? Thanks!

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.

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
