I wanted to install an app called "Root External 2 Internal SD" to see if I can extend internal space with some space from SD Card. But It moves all SD Card files in internal storage, and it keeps doing that for everything that goes in SD Card. I tried to hard reset my phone, but it still do the same thing as before. So I installed LG Mobile Support Tool to restore the stock system. After that long waiting time, when my phone starts, nothing happened. It was like I just restarted. My settings was the same and files and apps too. I tried that without SD Card too, but same result. Also from that point when I installed that app, scanning media storage takes too long, like 5 minutes, even without SD cars inserted.
I have Windows 7 x64.
Any ideas to restore my original system?
EDIT: I found LG Moblie Support Tool logs. There is the log: pastebin.com/dffcgNeE
P.S.: Sorry for my English.

I've been having problems with the SD card on my Cricket Huawei Ascend for a long time. I cannot download anything on any browser, it will only result in an error saying I do not have enough space. When I mount the SD card, there are no files visible on my PC, and I have tried formatting it, but unmounting it will only have the phone return it from it's 944mb of free space after I formatted to 875mb of free space with 4 files- busyboxstericon, ComFile.dat, crash.txt, and toolbox-stericson. These files return no matter what I do. Moving files from the PC to sd card will only be wiped when I unmount it. Any solution, or is it beyond redemption? I've also tried some solutions like the SDformatter program, and windows chkdsk, but they have not worked. I also factory reset my phone out of desperation, but no.
Try the HP format utility. Don't use the windows one.
I've seen other similiar thread about data on SD card suddenly loss in this forum. but apparently nothing that have similliar problems with mine. I have LG L70-D325 running stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM with 16 GB SD card installed from V-Gen. before all the data is missing, I was accessing my SD card via USB cable to my PC. I was copying my pictures from Internal Storage to my External SD Card. suddenly, a dialog box pop up on my PC says that "system cannot bla bla bla" so I press cancel right away. after that, I check my data on my SD card via PC and it's still available. then I remove my device from PC by pull out the usb cable (I totally forgot to change the PC Connection from Media Exchange into Charge Only before pulling it out). when I open my gallery, there are no files in my SD card, so I check it via Root Explorer. what I found is all the data is gone, just a view folder from installed apps on my internal storage. before I lose my data, I was uninstalling an apps called Folder Mount. there are a picture folder that still mounted from Internal storage into External storage. the differences between my problems with other thread is that I still can access my SD card without a problem. I shutdown my phone and insert my SD card via card reader and my PC can access my SD card like usual, but all my data on it still missing. I've tried using GetDataBack for FAT for about 6 hours and still can't find my missing data. is there anyway to recover all my missing data since all important files is in there including my assignment paperwork. buying or replacing with a new one for me is unacceptable since all I need is the data on it.
I've had luck with this tool before:
http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Power-Data-Recovery-Free-Edition/3000-2094_4-10561431.html
I used the paid version and recovered 300 GBs from a 3 TB hard drive (twice - long story...). But, saved my behind. Hope it can help you...
If you can connect it to your PC, Disk Drill can scan it. Try any free data recovery tool
I thought I had lost a whole day worth of footage from a shoot I was at on 9-11-15. I had a drive go bad today that I didn't backup like I should have done and spent all day looking and searching for any kind of backup and recovery software. I accidentally found free tools: Recuva and Disk Drill on the web and figured, hey it's free...why not try them. Well, 20 minutes and 52 gigs later, I'm back in business.
Hi all,
I just got my hands on a Boost Mobile LG Realm. It turns out this phone only has 1gb of internal storage. I popped in a micro sd thinking it would solve the issue. It turns out that you cannot save apps to the SD card. Shoot, some of my apps don't even have the option of setting the SD card as the primary save location.
I have done some research, but alas I still need some assistance. Can someone tell me how I can use my SD card as my primary storage on Kit Kat 4.4.2? I have discovered that my phone has an emulated external storage so that it stops the SD card from being used as a primary storage.
I have successfully rooted the phone via Towelroot, and I have frozen/uninstalled some bloat ware using Titanium Backup
Edit: I have attached my vold file via dropbox: dropbox com/s/ihpfoo4h79kaphx/vold.fstab?dl=0
Like I said I have done some research and the code in my vold file does not match the ones in the guides.

Your gonna be kinda stuck. While you can move the apps to sdcard with a few tools the app data will still be on the internal storage. There are a few ways to move that also but due to the way sd cards work on Android it kills app performance and may even stop the app from working all together. This is due to android removing all sd card code from stock Android and each OEM has to add it back on their own so coding is different from one device to another.

Thanks for the reply. I understand; I guess I will have to lightly use this.
Hello world!
A very strange issue have just happen with my Lenovo phone. The SD card suddenly became unrecognized, only by some of the apps. the card itself is OK (PC tested, and the problems occurs with any card), listed properly under "storage" menu, and accessible by files explorer. But, when i open the camera or photo gallery - i recieve the message that "no SD storage". The strangest fact is, thar on the background of this message in the gallery, it shows up thumbs of images stored in the card...
Phone's internal memory has been repartitioned with METEOS app, to disable internal SD and increase internal memory, but everything was fine a long time until now.
I tried to recover the initial state of the phone. Did full format by Flash-Tool, the loaded on it an official chinese stock-rom, in order to recover its initial internal memory partitioning.
Then I upgraded it to CWM recovery and my previous custom ROM (Lambda) and everithing was OK, even the SD was detected. But then, when I tried to make repartition with METEOS app (after which i had to modify the actual code lines in Void.fstab, as instructed after METEOS using), BOOM! again the is'nt recognized only by camera and galley!
What could have happen? everithing worked fine more than a year
Update:
I have found that, though the SD is mounted in vold.fstab to "Storage", in the mnt folder it is still listed under Storage2.
How could that be?
Greetings and Salutations,
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 running the stock ROM and bootloader, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.10.49-9058927, with 16GB internal storage, and a 128GB U3 microSD card (not 100% sure of SD card speed, its above class 10), the phone is the 2016 version (subtle changes from the 2015 apparently) and has not yet been rooted.
I tried to enable adoptable storage to get a couple of apps to run better, but I want to revert back and seek a different solution, namely rooting and using Link2SD.
I tried the standard method of adoptable storage, and the option was not present in the storage screen on my phone. I tried using adb, and got timeout messages on the sm partition disk:179,64 private command. (Enabled USB debugging, accepted connections, installed samsung drivers, adb server daemon and shell all started successfully). Eventually it showed the sd card as corrupt. I popped it out of the phone, and deleted the partition on my computer, leaving raw, unformatted space on the card. I reinstalled the sd card in the phone, and the format as internal option was now present. I hit that, let it run and tried to migrate data afterward. Migrating always failed between 30 and 45%, and it showed me at 15.92GB or more out of 16GB used. I decided to revert back. I reformatted the sd card as portable in the phone, and it corrupted again. I did the same process, but elected to format as fat32 on my computer. Reinserting the sd card, it asked to format, so I did, as portable. The sd card appears to be back to normal, but I'm still at almost 16GB used on the phone. I tried to delete some music files that I have on the SD card as well, and they won't delete from the internal memory. It always says "could not delete" or "Delete operation failed". I have used the built in file manager, ES file explorer, and I believe I tried on my computer last night (it was getting late, but I remember at least trying). All fail to delete the files. I'm down to very few apps, none can be moved to the SD card, and I can't move much data otherwise. I harbor a suspicion that some hidden files are present on the internal memory, but I could be paranoid. I'm hoping to avoid a factory reset, but I fear that's the only option. I have a backup of the sd card, but not the phone's internals beyond what google saves in the cloud. I'm open to suggestions, and thanks in advance.
