Can't use internal storage after updating to android 6.0 - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have PLK-L01 and after updating to android 6.0 user installed apps couldn't access internal memory, only external. Pre installed can access both internal and external storage. Changing default storage from external to internal gave access to both internal and external storage, but I'd like to have external as default and still be able to use both storages.

Have you tried a factory reset? If yes, you may need to force update once...

TWRP backup missing

So I accidently did a TWRP backup to internal storage. According to setting then storage I have 5gb of misc being used. But for the life of my I can't the backup to delete it. internal sd card then twrp only has a 7kb size file. I even went to twrp and cleared internal storage. under storage I still have 5gb plus of files using up my space. any suggestions?
anyone?

If you haven't renamed anything, it should simply be on the root of your internal sd card. Try searching for 'twrp' while you are on your internal with ES.

I have used root explorer and there is nothing on the internal card that is visible. the os still thinks I have 5gb of misc files there. but I find only a couple megs.

Are you on 4.1.2 or 4.3? And if you're on 4.3, did you wipe internal memory when upgrading?

Hmm, seems odd that a reformat of the internal sd card wouldn't take care of that. Personally I'd probably back up to external card and format internal again, possibly with a different recovery if twrp is still causing issues for you.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
if I click on the 5gb misc section only some folders with kb of info I just recleared internal storagr again. and it is still the same.
Pretty sure you're OK after looking at that. Miscellaneous files include all system and app data once uncompressed. Mine is also in the mid 5.5 gb range.
Edit: if anyone else wants to weigh in that would be helpful to get another person's sd card size for misc.

You Can't move all apps to sd card. It is restricted by app developer
But You can move it using Link2SD App which allows those apps to be moved to SD card..
*Your device should be rooted to use Link2SD App
Download Link2SD from Play Store

4.2 and forward see the internal memory differently than the old stock 4.1.
If you go to (system root)/data/media, you'll see the files you're looking for from the internal memory, plus a folder titled "0", which is what is NOW recognized as internal.

You can't exactly... the "internal storage" in your screen shot is the /data partition for installing applications, that is the normal place apps go. Under normal circumstances you cannot install apps to your internal (12.5GB) storage, it is considered external storage to the operating system, hence why it is in /sdcard0 and your real microSD card is /sdcard1. To use these areas for apps you must use a tool like App2SD, Link2SD, or similar app, and only some apps can be moved, if it has a widget it cannot be moved and there are a few other rules that it will ward you about.
Okay.... So I did what you said and tried link2sd, but when moving apps to SD I get an 'INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR'
And isn't there suppose to be an 'move to SD card' option in this app?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No, not in KitKat anyways, it doesn't have the SD card support that ICS had, Google hates SD cards for some reason, and has been limiting SD card support more and more in each Android version since Ice Cream Sandwich.
As far as the error in Link2SD, not sure, I haven't used it in years... Sorry.
I can be able to move apps to sdcard0 on omni kitkat rom...guess I'll stick 2 it,other kitkat roms excluding liquidsmooth and omni are a bit laggy

Sounds like you need to format the internal storage then mount it and just for good measure backup the external and format that and then mount too. I had a similar problem and when I did this all is well. I hope this helps.

How do you go about formatting the internal sd card. I just went from 4.2 to 4.4.4 and now TWRP and CWM recoveries will not mount and recognize the internal card. I can't even access the internal card to format it or anything else. How do I go about fixing this. 4.4.4 is pretty sweet.

Thanks for getting back to me.
The problem is the real internal storage is unmountable on my phone. My external sd card it appears to be partitioned as the system and external storage sd cards. There is no sdcard0.
The internal emmc card is unaccessible even in recovery.

adoptable storage using new tool!

I used the new New Adoptable Storage Tool! and now have a 64 GB g6!
Confirmed working on mine as well so far.
hmmm.... now to contemplate if I need 96GB or 160GB internal......
Thanks for testing it out and confirming!
Great find. All I need now is root to have Adblock and I won't need anything elseView attachment 4108366

I have a concern regarding this adoptable storage. Every app that I go in and gives me the option to choose a location to store data (Spotify as exemple) shows internal storage with 13GB free, not 16some GB... If I remember correctly, adoptable storage means that the phone would treat the partition of the SD card as internal memory... And use it all as 1

If you migrate data to the adopted storage, it becomes unaccessible. Any apps you move to the adopted storage become inaccessible as well. But you shouldn't have any issues still using any apps still on the actual internal.

Are there any stability issues? I remember Apps2SD back in the WinMo days and it caused some issues with rebooting, random data loss, ghost apps, etc.
Does this degrade performance at all?
Do you have to select what gets stored where? Or does the system manage the "internal" external SD the same?
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
I have successfully used the tool and now my SD card is formated as adoptable storage.
I am unable to migrate the data to the SD card.. I process starts, gives me a message that it will move 6GB from the internal to the SD and will make my SD card default for future apps. After several minutes it fails with an error message that data were left at the original location.
Did anyone manage to perform the migration?
try apps2sd pro to migrate apps , i am using it on my xperia z3 sucessfully with adoptable storage 128gb card memory card under 5.1.1 (rooted)

Try AdClear no need to root/unlock.
The current way to block ad without root is a VPN running on the phone and blocking sites through the VPN.
It works.

I haven't done it on this phone because I don't need it ( we've got enough storage for apps, imo ), but I've done it on a J5 2015 and it automatically installs apps on the SD card. Haven't seen any stability issues, but it can degrade the performance because it depends on the speed of the card. If you've got a slower card than your phone's storage, then you will see some performance drop for sure.
