This works with an A11 with 32 GB of internal storage. All of the other tips and tricks did not work on this phone such as "Force allow apps on external" and apps like "Activity launcher" and "Install Apps on SDCard". The drivers were automaticlly installed and following the video and instructions on the website went smoothly. I ended up setting up the SD card @ 25% (128GB total). Great tutorial.
me too all other tips like "activity launcher" did not work this man is a professional
This is pretty awesome and seems to be working fine on my Verizon S7 Edge. The options you have without doing this says you have the option to move apps to the sd card but never seemed to work correctly. It said it was moved but still information still showing as if it was on the internal storage and never moved. Now with this I was able to see the storage on the internal storage is actually free now and is moved to the sd card. Thanks for this!
TO UNDO:
1. Click SD Card
2. Click more in the top right
3. Click Format SD card portable storage
4. Done
Thumbs Up
Thank you! - My S5 didn't give me option to move all APPs to the external, like "WhatsApp" and other ones. Then, my internal storage became full, and I started to have problems with it.
thanx dude..
Thanks you supplied the one missing step in all of the directions I could find.
This works PERFECTLY on an old S5 (SM900P) that has been struggling a lot with its 16 GB already, thank you!!!!
Thank you very much.
This was very necessary for me. I was determined to not buy a new phone JUST because of the lack of storage and wanted to increase memory with just a memory card. And that's done.
On s7 ?
@@AlegaTV Yes.
I love the video, I did also used the same formula for my Note 4 and it works great.
If using mixed mode: After this I recommend using a tool to rename your SD card FAT32 partition (the one for media files and not apps). Shut down phone, take it out, and connect it to Windows (may need an adapter). I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition to rename it by right clicking the correct partition and labeling it. Finish that, and put it back into the phone. Now you can see the difference between the 2 partitions when choosing where to move apps.
how to revert the micro sd card formatted as internal storage back to the portable micro sd card like it used to be ? and what happen if i remove my formatted as internal storage micro sd card when my phone is running?
If you plan on removing the SD card while your Galaxy phone is on make sure you go into your settings and eject the SD card if you don't the likelihood you will lose important files or your SD card will become corrupted 😑
Max, great work! I have followed everything you directed to do but, no memory change on my device. (Samsung Galaxy Tab)
What did I do wrong?
awesome tutorial! one thing that stops me from doing this is the performance.... micro sd is not as fast as the internal storage. what do you think? i'm planning to buy the fastest micro sd for that. thanks
+TechLineHD also, while bigger the storage capacity on the sd, less reliable it becomes, the s7 and s7 edge already have 64 gb of internal storage, so you rarely will fill them with apps. this feature would be good for lower end devices with like 8 gb of internal storage
+juan carlos Palomino 64gb? Well, 64GB models are not out yet... at least in the EU region..
@@TechLineHD i used a sandisk ultra speed/120 read
First video that actually helped! Thanks!!
work'd great, thanks Max! keep it up brah
This is not working for me and I have followed each step properly? any suggestions 256gb card here
after watching 3 videos this is the only one that was helpful! Thanks!
Ive done all the steps, it worked. But im still short on storage and my sd card isnt filling up...
@@joebidenVEVO there's no merge data for me
Hi Max,I hope you can help me out with some guidanceI have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 and I have done all the steps indicated, however, after the command "sm partition disk:179,32 private" + Enter, immediately appears the next line with shell@a5xelte:/ $, and nothing happens in my phone, no changes in the internal or SD card storage capacities.Some additional info just for your reference:• I have installed the Samsung drivers, and verified on device manager that indeed are recognized by Windows. • My phone does have enabled the USB Debugging optionMany thanks in advance for your comments!
same problem with my A5 2016. did you get it right?
Same with my j5 2015
same with a J7 2017 help
got it , about to install apps to test ,great video thanks
With a little bit of changing to the commands this worked on my phone (tcl 20xe)
this worked on my galaxy note A 2016 bought 5/7/2017
thankyou
This is the best tutorial ever !
hello great tutorial but after i checked my phone the sd card is only 80gb because i typed 60 then the other says corrupted what do i do? please help me
Señor chino es mi heroe, muchas gracias
Thank like alway from the knowledge. Keep up the great work.
It Works On Samsung Galaxy S5 Thats All I Can Say, I Am So Happy I Dont Need To Manually Do Stuff Anymore, SUBBED AND LIKED
First Max says that every thing on phone gets formatted then he says that only SD card gets formatted...Can Max Lee
or any can please confirm that command only formats SD card not the phone memory ...thanks in advance
Yes in the video it said it was formatting the storage device distk 179,0 which is the micro sd storage device; so it would be formatting the memory on the sd storage device and any data stored on that would need to be backed up or archives as that data would be lost forever.
max does this work for all samsung phones or only s7?
+Mocro just S7.
Worked for my Note 4 (Verizon)
This works for Android 6.0 or higher generally it also works on Huawei and other devices and brands it's not limited to the S7
If you don't know anything please keep your mouth shut. Thanks.
Worked on j2 prime. Just a chamge on storage doesnt really CHANGE ur storage
thanks it's worked for
Samsung galaxy gran prime plus
Zain Jafri
yes it works
But still when ur downloading apps from Google play it says insufficient storage
other than that it works
Congrats.....Amazing explanation!
This comes stock in the OS on my *BLU Life One X (2016)*! And people wonder why I don't like updating. :D
What does that have to do with updating?
great video, been looking for a solution all day, works for J5 too :)
Mc Humphrey is this solution can work on j5 2015? I cannot
problem when I did this for my note 4 when you turn it off and back on it says sd card corupet then it does a format back to reg sd card. did not stay on note 4
same problem here. so did you solve it? it's been 8 years man
After altering the micro SD card to adoptable storage, do you have to re-load your apps so they are distributed evenly? Or is this automatic? Thanks.
it doesnt work for s7 edge with android 8.0
Tried this on my partner's S7 Edge (outright purchase), but it was ineffective. His phone is totally choked for internal storage and the MicroSD card resolutely remains portable storage. Any further hints?
same, but i try with a normal S7
S7 Edge steps worked!!!
J7 Prime however, have done every step promt correct responses but no changes on the numbers displayed on phone memory =(
how about xperia z3 sony
can i use this method in other samsung devices?
I tried it on Huawei Y611 Cam - L21 and everything was ok and I followed all the steps till the last command it worked and my phone restarted and then there is a notification that says that my sd card damaged :/ what to do now. My sd card got damaged cuz of this. what should i do?
thanks I needed that info
Thanks bro it worked
Hi Max, everything went fine but the sd card still doenst appear on my phone like yours. At 5:08 of the video doesnt show like yours.
Same
you saved me, thanks a lot for the video!!!
Hey max. In your opinion if you had to choose one. S7 edge or nexus 6p?
Great video Max I wonder if this will work for Sony phones once they update to marshmallow
Can i use these steps on other smartphones rather than S7 or s7 edge like J5/J7 2016 or On8?
Unknown Person you can use this with every device that has Android 6.0 or higher
@@tamidaniel7266 Hi Tami. I've tried on my android 7.0 and its not working. Any clue?
Hi Max, you are very good at what you do!! I have a s7 but' This questions is for a friend who has a Samsung on5. Will this work on a on5? Thank You!Tayte
Max your the man Flossy sent me
I did this right, but my internal storage became full and nothing could fit onto the SD card anymore

Hi any idea how to make the external storage (micro SD) internal storage on the LG K8?
SUPER THANKS FOR THIS SIR:) ITS WORK ON ME XD THUMBS UP!
this is the easiest tutorial ever,
Does this work with Xiaomi 6A
it works, however, you have to migrate sd card thanx man
thank very much
Will new Android OS updates be installed on the micro sd card or actual phone storage?
There must be a easier way 😔😰
But thank you . Great help.
When I got the s7 edge I thought the phone gave you that option 🙄😒
uhmm what if example I did the procedure with a 16GB micro sd card and I bought a new sd card 32 gb can I swap the 16 gb sd card with the 32 GB that I've bought ? and does it damage the device if I swap it? ... reply plss
works on galaxy j7 2015 thanks a lot
what's the difference between this and Moving the apps and photos to the microsd?
Eventually many apps and data within those apps will refuse to move onto the SD card, since not all apps allow you to send them to the SD card. This method fools your device to think your SD card is part of the main memory chip inside. So you get one chunk of storage.
I successfully did the process when i was rooted on gs7 edge. when i unrooted my phone using att stock rom i formated the microsd and proceeded to turn my sd into internal storage again. when i get to Sm Partition Disk i click enter and then nothing happens. no errors. what is going on?
I've got a samsung galaxy s7. I tried this and everything but nothing happened. I read somewhere that they may have voided this fix with the Android 8 update. Do you know anything about that or is it B.S.? Please reply
yeah nothing happened to me as well.
Is it possible that if I get a new card I can transfer everything as adoptable storage without data loss?
thanks you for this useful video, I tried and it work finally
Can you please explain how to do in Note 7 please
thank you very much
max,thnx for the video and I followed everything step by step,after I hit enter adb shell,error:device offline..what should I do?
Worked for my Galaxy s5 perfectly. Had to find a new link to the samsung driver online because the one i got from this video was bad. once i got the new one and ran it it all came together. EDIT: When my phone restarts or turns off then on it wont pick-up the sd card. i get a "checking" message and if i press it prompts me to deregister the sd card and format it
hey max can u do a updated version for the t mobile s7 edge ....update did something to it
I have galaxy s7 edge on Verizon the hare some apps actually can move to external SD card like all my games and some big apps I thought can use the SD card for pictures and videos? I am very happy the can move apps to SD card
that's a very cool video but sir can we use this method for other android devices like for xiaomi device
plz reply
It doesn't work for me. I can't get the “Samsung Android ADB Interface” or “Android ADB Interface” thingy, making me unable to use this method.
dear i had done all the steps all process has done but my phone is not showing the merge money
I have tried every step. I am not sure if this adoptable storage for marshmallow OS will work for Samsung Galaxy Tab S SM-T700.
I followed the instruction but to no avail. Must the tablet be connect to wifi?
Enabling adoptable storage like this can be screwed up by future OTA updates?
+Blessen Alex no.
Will this work on the LG Stylo? It's hanging on the command prompt....
What is the process for Samsung s2 Gt-I9100 ??
Does this operate with Gear VR apps?
hi Max Lee, does it erase only the micro SD card or it erase all the phone apps that i had installed?
Thanks
I get corrupted storage when i do mixed 50 or mixed 75? When i do private, It works fine and adds the entire sdcard as internal storage? Is this normal if it says corrupted for doing the portion of sdcard?
With all due and respect to you, everyone here, and even adoptable storage, I'm strongly against adoptable storage.
The standard high end sd card in my new galaxy s7 edge just became corrupt because an At&t rep took out the tray before I could have him click unmount first. It doesn't fully put the feature at blame, but it gets you thinking.
Saul Solis I'm ok you with using the 20gb along with a 64-200gb card for my photos, music, and about half (on my phone) of my apps.
Can you detail 1) what happened to the card and the data/apps when you reinserted the SD 2) if you were able to recover the SD card by reformating it
So i did the whole direction but once i install an app. it doesnt install on the sd card its still saying 0 mb. help?
After all that, can you still update your samsung software. With the S5, when you rooted them you can not do the samsung-updates anymore. Also the app snapshat stoped working after a while
I have HTC 510 and only 1gb internal can I do same thing for my external SD? Because this would be great
Hi Sir, can i use this method on my samsung galaxy j5?
hey Max can I do this with sony xperia m4 aqua dual I have only 8GB internal storage
Hey Max Lee, Hope you reply to this comment, i have A6 Plus running OREO 8.0 and none of these commands work. any tps or help?
Max thank you for all the help you have given us throughout the year. keep up the great work
heyy really great video i got a question tho ! how could i do that method and having a rooted galaaxy s7 edge done the way you showed in one of your vids ? cause if i do this it will delete my rooted phone right ?
i liked and subbed thank you very much, but since all the phone updates etc it doesnt want to work. Should i perhaps reset the phone to factory and try again? If i should do it, it will be a real big job and im not sure how to do it. Is there another way to work around root?
hello its been 4 years but how fo i download the samsung drivers it wont work??
i have done all the steps but not working in samsung galaxy j5 what to do ?
regarding fastboot, "system cannot find the path specified". I definitely extracted that folder though...
im using a andriod samsung tab a6 and i did every thing correctly and the cmp showed everything like in the video but it did not change anything about the memmory in my tab?
Sigmar Josepsson same happened to me, but I'm using a Samsung Galaxy On7
