Phone and Microsd Issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an LG Rebel 4 with Android 8.1.0. I took out the microsd card to replace it. The phone does not recognize the new card. I put the old one back in; that was not recognized either. Both cards work on my computer. What could cause this? Thank you.

Probably you've configured the SD-cards in questions to be used by phone as Adoptable Storage ( aka Internal Memory ).

The first card was not, it was external memory. When I put the new card in, there was no message about configuring it or anything. My phone storage still shows 16 gb total. Now, the phone doesn't recognize either card. How can I tell if the sd card is adoptable?

To check whether your phone supports the "Adoptable Memory" feature or not you run
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "sm has-adoptable"
If not 1 gets returned then it's not supported.

Thank you for answering me. I took my phone somewhere. Part of the card slot was bent. It works now.

[Q] adb is working, but fastboot isn't...

After flashing some roms,my phone now can only access to internal and external sd from pc. Although, I can put files in sd, I can't see nor access to those files in my phones. I did some research and found out that the command in sdk could help me: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
This is where I got stuck. I could access to adb and when I commanded adb devices I can see my devices attached. However when I typed fastboot devices, nothing shows up, and when I typed "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0", I got stuck in "waiting for devices" message.
I don't know what was going on, since adb command is still working fine. I would really appreciate any help here.
P.S. I don't know if this is matter, but I run on xp window.
I think fastboot is only for HTC devices. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

haha. yeah, fastboot = htc.
I saw the title for this thread and had to do a double take that I was in the Vibrant section. This was almost news to me.
I saw both fastboot and adb exe file in android sdk. I thought they would work for all android phones.
If it wasnt, do you know any ways for me to reactivate sd card or to access sd card through my phone? Rite now i cant see any pictures or songs, which i put in my internal n external sd though pc.
have you tried simply mounting/unmounting... maybe copy everything to the pc, format it and then reboot?
settings > sd / phone storage.
I tried mounting,unmounting, format it from both phone setting and on pc. I still found no luck
edit: i even flash back to stock rom and do factory reset. Still no luck. Is there any other ways that i can try.

First of all, what rom are you running? And secondly, if you're trying to access your sdcards from recovery, you really only have access to the internal one, nut not as USB mass storage.
If you're trying to access the sdcard from your computer as USB mass storage, make sure you have debugging enabled, and then using the notification menu, tell it to mount the sdcard.

OxygenOS 3.1.1 community build problem. HELP

Please someone help me. I flashed the OOS 3.1.1 community build through twrp. Now I formatted my samsung 32 gb sd card as internal memory in adoptive storage, but when I try to migrate data it says "not enough storage space".

Try moving individual apps
Is this the same ota that oneplus is sending to our devices?
Wait, so you defined the SD card as internal memory, and you're trying to migrate the data from internal to sd?
I have the exact same problem. I installed OxygenOS 3 and have the latest OTA update.
I enabled the adoptable storage (can't post links yet) but I can't see my sd card on my pc, when the phone is connected. It shows up in my phone without any problems.
I tried to reformat my SD into portable storage than into internal again but I always receive the "not enough storage message" whenever I try to migrate data.
Quoting from this thread on the Oneplus Forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/use-sd-card-as-internal-storage-cant-also-with-6-0.460967/
this appears to be the answer.
1. activate USB Debugging on Developer Options
2. download adb tools here and put it in one folder.
3. plug your phone to pc via USB
4. now open windows explorer and "shift + right click" at adb folder, then sellect "open command window here"
5. type "adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true" (without quote) and then press enter
6. unplug your phone and go to setting>storage&usb>SD Card
7. click 3 dot on top right corner>setting>format as internal

Yeap, those were my exact steps. Actually my SD working is working pretty good in the phone, with all the new apps being correctly installed into it.
Deep down, what is really upsetting me, is that I can't see the SD card on my Windows Explorer when I connect the phone to my PC (and yes, I tried it on different computers as well). I really like to use it as a portable storage device
Before OxygenOS 3 I was using CyanogenMod and this was working as expected.
Do you have a clue what could be going on?

Merging Internal and SD Card

So far i'm sticking to OnePlus X Stock ROM, i'm on OOS 3.1.1 exactly.
I did not have time to root my device so far.
But i really don't have enough memory, so it's urgent to merge the internal memory with my SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC 64 Go SD card.
Which ROM would the most stable and fully working and enable me to use the SD card merged to the internal memory.
Many thanks to the community!
This worked on 3.1.0 :
1. activate USB Debugging on Developer Options
2. download adb tools here and put it in one folder.
3. plug your phone to pc via USB
4. now open windows explorer and "shift + right click" at adb folder, then sellect "open command window here"
5. type "adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true" (without quote) and then press enter
6. unplug your phone and go to setting>storage&usb>SD Card
7. click 3 dot on top right corner>setting>format as internal

But @armavista, as far as I know this would exchange the internal & external storages right?

I actually merged internal and SD card, rooted my phone and flashed custom ROM. So far the result is not really good. I guess my SD card is too slow.

Storage not visible when connected to Windows 10 via USB

When I connect my H850 (Nougat) to my Windows 10 PC via USB the device is recognised (it is listed in File Explorer), but there are no storage devices associated with it, so I can't access the internal and SD card storage. Any ideas why this might be?
I had previously downloaded the LG drivers for my G4 (and that worked fine). Do I need a different driver for the G5?

Could be driver issue, try installing G5 drivers (uninstall g4 drivers first) or could be needing to disable USB debugging from dev options. (Sometimes my storage doesn't show up unless adb debugging is disabled from dev options).

I hadn't noticed the USB options in the notification entry (doh) - I selected the USB debugging option and all is good now
BTW:
If your phone is visible under windows, you can’t be sure to see all files on your ext. SD card!
If you have copied some files from internal to external; or from pc to ext.SD. they sometimes are not shown!!!
I had made a file backup from ext. sd card to pc and missed a view files after than in my backup. So be careful!

Thanks for the heads-up. Any idea why that is, or what determines which files will be visible on the ext sd card?

no, no idea. the files are visible, if you control them with a android file-manager like "totalcommander" but they are not visible on the pc side. So this must be a problem syncing the two file tables. WIndows problem or bad LG driver, i don’t know. Maybe somebody else knows it.:fingers-crossed:

Windows is pretty garbage so probably that.

Blu studio c mini (mediatek) internal storage read only

I have this device that suddenly becomes read only the entire internal storage.
I can boot and use it but the apps, including the launcher3 crash every time that they are launched. Only "setting" app and some other apps that not write to storage can work
tried to get an adb shell on pc but can not debug with usb because there is no debug app selected on phone, i think that is needed write access to do that. Tried flashing stock rom with the procedure indicated by the devs of the app, but not worked (it worked a time ago), this device is rooted.
I can connect through usb and mount internal storage on pc and read the contents, but can not write.
Connectbot does not work, but i think if there is an way to launch a terminal inside the device, maybe i can change mount options of partition or change some other things to recovery the phone.
so someone knows how to execute and not install a terminal shell from sd card?
CPU: 32bits - MediaTek MT6582
thanks!
