I actually dropped my phone last week and the screen is completely broken and doesn't work. Its just a black screen. But the phone turns on. I know this because there is a vibration when you turn it on and the notification light keeps blinking.
Now the thing is that the SD card in the phone was an adopted storage. I have a lot of photos and really really really important stuffs in it that I really really need.. :crying:
Do any of you have any idea how to decrypt the adopted storage sd card by any method?
It would be really kind of you if you could help. I badly want the data on it. :crying:
Thanks in advance.
Fix the screen probably the only way.
I don't know much about adopted storage, but as I can remember it was ext3, or ext4 storage, so I think you can try just plug in your MicroSD card to a computer with Linux and then you should be able to browse through your sd Card.
You can also try to run Android Emulator on your PC to access your adopted storage in Android 6.0.
Or you can try to put in on the other phone with Adopted Storage option.
As I said I've never used Adopted Storage, but maybe these solutin will work
I hope I helped ya

Hmm. You can always try to do that:

Maybe Then you could see your phone "screen" and then put it on cloud storage, or something like that?

My tablet has 8GB of onboard storage and is partitioned. 1GB as "tablet memory" and the other 6GB (approx) as an "internal SD" with the remaining for the ROM. Just recently I noticed that the 6GB partition went missing. It is no longer available to me. However, the tablet restarts and loads the ROM just fine. It also loads my external sdcard just fine too. I'm guessing something is wrong with the partition table? Or is the hardware toast?
I figure since the 1GB is still showing up that it isn't a hardware failure, but I'm not sure. I tried reinstalling my ROM, factory resetting, mounting the internal sd and nothing works. What can I do? The tablet is an Ainol Aurora 8GB model running Essential Clean Rom 1.1a. I tried just to forget it and make due with using just the 1GB and my external SD card but when I try to download apps from the Amazon Market it says that there is no SD card (internal) and that I need it. I didn't try Google Play yet...
Update: when i go wipe the system in CWM it says no apps2sd partition found and something about /sdcard .android secure. Does that have anything to do with it?
Try another ROM basically one stock ROM and after try a custom ROM.When you flash the stock ROM use repartition.IMO that's all.I hope this solution work for you.

Thanks for that. I'll see if restoring the stock rom helps. I doubt it though. I've tried 2 different ones (not stock) and it didn't do anything at all...

Hi Andie00, did you ever come to solution to your problem, as I'm experiencing something very similar with CM 10.2 my internal storage just disappear and I can't see it. Otherwise ROM works very well and fast, don't wish to switch to CM 11 which is more buggy in other ways.
Problem gone when I make factory reset/data wipe it worked until next reboot of device.
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
UPDATE: I find something interesting, if I remove my external SD card physically from device and than reboot phone, Internal Storage return to where it should be, and if I insert external SD after this, it become available as well and phone see 2 internal storages and external SD card.
If reboot device, in Settings > Storage I see first Internal storage normally, second is blank and external SD is visible.
Any idea why it happens and how it can be fixed?
Problem seems to be solved
answering my own yesterday's question
posting this for anyone who facing similar problem, maybe my experience would be helpful for someone.
I've tried to insert different SD card and reboot with it, and after this my internal storage remained visible. so I plugged my sd card to PC, examined it and moved from it to safe place all files which shouldn't belong there. for example I find out external SD contain .android_secure folder with 1.6gb of remains of old programs, though I never installed them to external SD, also I removed folder Android which contain just empty folders without files.
After this boot with that flash was successful and I can see both internal storages and external SD, and now I can use CM 10.2 on my Samsung gt-i8160 which works blazing fast comparing to stock firmware, phone never was so responsive no matter what I did before!
Hope it can help someone.
I posted this in regards to an old Ainol tablet I had. My "solution" was to put back the stock rom.

Thanks for response, Andie00! Glad I don't have to use your solution, so far my phone working better than new on CM10.2
Hello, been awhile...
I have a question concerning the internal storage the E739 has.
Currently it has about a gig more or less of internal storage, so here my situation. I recently have gotten a new phone, and want to hand this one (e739) down to my son. The thing is I do not have an extra SD card, nor money to purchase another. Is there any possible way to maybe partition some of that internal storage to an emmc mnt? I wouldn't need much just a little for some games (emulators, some of them require an sd card.), and place to save a few pictures so he can use the camera.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very much helpful thanks.
P.S. I'm a little late for his birthday =[ wanted to figure this out by then, sadly it was yesterday.
EDIT* I prolly have my wording all wrong here, what I would like to do is partition an internal sd card in the e739's internal storage if that's possible.
Ok, with the lack of responses. Let me rephrase. Is there a way to install apps w/o an sd card, for apps that ask for an sd card?
I am trying to search on my own in google and here, as well as a few other places. All the results I'm getting are, move apps to sd card, increase internal memory with an sd card, etc. I kinda want to go the other way, and split up my internal memory. Or just have a way to trick apps into thinking my internal memory is an sd card because obviously I do not have one, nor can get one atm.
I have root, and can flash anything thats needed, I'm pretty used to all that stuff.
Nevermind! I have found a solution. I thank anyone who had tried to help me search w/o replying.
Here is a little guide I had found to Mount /cache as /sdcard. Hope it helps others.

Hi folks,
I got this 16G sdcard that from one day to another it stopped being recognized saying "blank card or has unsupported file system"
Besides the data, I had some applications installed on it.
I did tried to recover with a software, but even the software only can recognize space is occupied, but can't see it.
Anyone have any possible tip to share?
Thanks
You can try GetDataBack application
Once I accidentally deleted many fotos from my camera sd card.
To recover it i used GetDataBack windows application. With the free version you can search your sd card and see what files it can find. It found all my photos at the time.
But at the moment you press the recover button, it requires you to buy it for 80 dollars :'(
I suggest you to download the GetDataBack FAT version and see if it can find your files.
If it works, then you have to decide if you'll buy it or not. After recovering the files, the file names were all wrong. But at least i got to save my pictures
Hope this helps you.

On Unix/GNU/Linux or whatever you call it, you can press CTRL+H to show hidden files, then there usually appears .recovery or .lost or similar where the deleted files are stored.
If not try this search for a lost data recovery Android app:
google. de/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=recover+deleted+data+android+app&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=xVA-UuWtBom10wWjrIHQBA
Or use one of these Open Source programs:

I bet you it's a Kingston. But you should tell us what it is and what devices you've been using it on, when it failed??
See this: SD Corruption in Xperia Z
The tool to use for recovery, if at all possible, is ZAR 9.2.

Try SD Card Recovery
Recuva!
Recuva is a great option. I've never used it to recover data from an SD card, but I HAVE used it successfully to recover date from my Windows machine when the hard drive crashed and all my data was deleted, and it has the ability to recover SD cards. This product, unlike some of those already suggested that are only free to download and analyze your system, is TOTALLY free.

I think you should try better recovery software like Remo Recover. It may help you to recover your data from SD card if it is not overwritten.
You can easily rescue your SD card data by employing a good SD card recovery utility. One good data recovery tool is there, have a look over it- http://youtu.be/AgRgEvF4HFM
Recuva works great on SD cards as well. I second using this.
I recommend using it over EASEUS Data Recovery. With Recuva it can restore original file name and path and tells you if the file has is in good condition to restore or has been overwritten by other data.

This is a serious problem. I think when you have lost some data from the SD card the only solution is to go to the manufacturer or to the shop where you bought it and ask for repair. There is way to repair the data as I know but you need to be very experienced, so you have to get support.
Have you lost your data from SD card? Do need to worry there is a tool which is known as Remo Recover which can easily assist you to get back data from your SD card.
I will try it. Sandisk provider ingram is not replacing my sd card. Unfortunately i bought it from snapdeal. I didnt got an invoice. Ingram is asking invoice for the replacement. I have the cover and sd card

I still have yet to fix my issue with storage. For some reason I have no Phone storage left, but almost all of my SD card storage is still empty. I thought that pictures and stuff were supposed to be stored on SD card.. or am I wrong??
Well that is not my major issue at the moment. I am actually having a problem with "write-protection"
I plugged my phone into my PC so that I can move my pictures and videos and stuff over to my SD card...
So i put my device USB Connection as a "camera (PTP)"
I found my photos, moved them to the SD card... and I wanted to delete them from the Phone Storage and when I try to delete a folder or file or anything from Phone Storage, it says "can not delete, the storage is write-protected"...
I have heard of it doing this when trying to delete from SD card... but why is m y phone saying that when I am trying to delete form the Phone Storage??
Can someone please help me out with this? I would appreciate it.. Thanks Guys!!
Which phone do you have? Is it the external sdcard u r talking about?

Enter "restorecon -FR /data/media/0" in the terminal in recovery mode
I hope this answers your question...
Many of the phones doesn't default to storing information to the MicroSD because it provides internal memory and not everyone uses a MicroSD.
There are 1 and/or 2 ways to tell the phone/app to store the information to the MicroSD.
1) Not all but, many apps have an option where you can specify where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
.
2) Many but, not all phones have an option in their settings with an option to use an alternate location where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
Also, there is an app called "Link2SD" that i do use to handle where i can specify where to locate some/all the apps i install (External Storage.MicroSD, ext2 partition, etc...).
Link2SD does take a bit of getting used to on how to use it but, the developer (Bulent Akpinar) has a website that provides helpers.
Just keep in mind that most of the phone's capabilities are not automatic and requires you to do the work. :fingers-crossed:

The major issue was not getting things to store onto my SD card... my issue is the fact that I hooked up my phone to my PC using USB connection... and I am moving stuff from my phone memory to my external SD card... then I wanna delete the stuff from my phone memory, that I moved to my SD card... but it wont let me delete anything... it is saying that the disk is write-protected... (the disk being my phone memory not the SD card)
It wont let me delete anything from myt Phone memory...
so i need to know why it is saying that my phone is write protected and how to change it so i can delete from my phone storage
I have a verizon galaxy s4

I had a similar issue and the culprit was the file permissions on the PC.
Maybe on your PC, try right clicking the file/folder of what you want to delete (within the Phone via the PC) and in the property selection, edit the ownership to your PC profile or PC Admin (if you have admin rights).
Just a thought...:fingers-crossed:
Hey Guys,
Hope some one can help me, I have got my hands on a Moto E, nice device shame about the inbuilt storage.
So I unlocked it , flashed TWRP and then installed Linage along with the correct Gapps package.
To fix my storage issue, I made the SD card the main memory and everything worked fine, until I rebooted the phone.
Then it said my SD card was corrupted and needed reformatting. This happens each time I reboot the device.
I have tried other Rom's on both Nougat and Marshmallow and the same issue each time.
My Sd card is a Samsung class 10 card 32Gb.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong ? Or if there is a Rom that does not have this issue when rebooting, as its send me a little bonkers
Which build of lineage are you on?
Try this-
Make ur SD card as portable storage again (it is in the 3 dot menu in the settings> storage > SD card)
Its strange, this issue has never been reported before.
Use squid's recommended twrp, wipe everything, except the place where ROM and gapps is put (i.e. clean flash it)
Again format SD as internal. Install some apps, reboot to see, if the problem is gone, and then reply with the result on this page.
Thank if it helps!

Hi,
So I am currently on Lineage 14.1 -201700403 - nightly.
I have erased the device in full and formatted, everything to just to be sure.
Then I sideloaded the Rom and Gapps, using adb and rebooted the device.
When i choose to use the sd card as internal storage and then reboot, it then tells me that sd card is missing and that i can remove it or forget it.
When i re-insert it the sd card it shows as corrupted.
I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or if the card is screwed, i will try another card and see if this is the problem.
So,
It turns out it was the SD card that was the problem, i changed it to a sandisk class 10 and what do you know, no problem with it at all.
I am able to use it as internal memory and when the device is rebooted there is no problem want so ever.
Thanks for your help:good:

Well great. U might use that SD in future. Format the faulty one on Windows, try to repartition it, and check if it works(u might use it as a spare one )
