Hi, I downloaded the tools and I turned on and off usb tethering, but in Chrome inspect, my phone name still doesn't appear. Any advice?
In case, anyone else had the same issue, I updated the driver for my phone on my computer in device manager.
@@vanessamurillo861 how
because when am done debuging on the phone it dose not locate the device
Can I a Chromebook instead of a windows computer for this process
I was ready to throw my Samsung A01 out a window with frustration. Tried downloading all kinds of apps that promised to move my apps to the SD card, but non of them did. Then I found your video. THANK YOU! I now have a 1TB micro SD card in my 16GB A01 !!! You are Da MAN!
Actually, isn't the limit 512gb?
THIS DOES NOT WORK, do try avoid pushing lies/false information for video views.
@@shawncharles7396 this did work! I'm thinking you may have to change the names based on the file download. I had to adjust because the link didn't have the same name as the download.
i get stuck trying to get the adb/platform path to pull up in cmd- keeps tellin me "the system cannot find the path specified"...followed the directions so im lost. helppppp
@@shawncharles7396 it worked for me. Check samsung support forums, there's another tutorial to make this work.
Thank you so much for this! Just got a 512gb memory card to address my devices storage issue and was really mad that Samsung removed the adaptable storage option.
Did this work for you?
@@Turkiye999 it did.. kinda... The OS still tries to utilize the internal memory for a lot of things. Not really worth the cost of the upgrade
Why my sd card can't used? It is 512 gb same as you
@@herscielleannesalamat6348 it's the samsung os/ROM that prevent you to do that
@@Turkiye999 It didn't work for me🥺
Unfortunately, after a few different tries, this did not work for me. I followed the steps directly, pausing the video for each step. Everything on my phone screen matched up. However, the A01 continued to 'threaten' me with low storage messages. Ultimately, I wound up investing in a new phone (albeit with it's own set of inconveniences). I'm thankful you put this tutorial out and it was very well done. I'm glad it seems to have worked for others! Good Luck All!
well u can move your apps from settings just go to setting-device care-storage-storage boster-Move apps to sd card
No one is going to read this far down, but it's important to note that this works on other phones too, and if you can't get the adb shell to list your device, it's because it's set to charge in USB settings. You need to tell it to act as storage, and adb will see it.
How to reverse:
use these commands in adb shell
sm set-force-adoptable true
sm partition disk [disk id] public
sm set-force-adoptable false
Thank you
My disks id doesnt show... How can i get it
@@anos_valdigoad_delehevia in the video there was a way to do that
Any clue how to get back all the photos/videos that got lost when I was turning my SD card into internal memory? I forgot to back up my files!
Thanks bro, really helped me
brilliant!! this was amazing. helped me a lot even though my computer and i kept messing up lol. little tip for other people:
-follow what he types exactly. each space, each letter (except if you have a new version of "platforms")
-if i got a different message than NKT Studios then i would restart the process over by closing out of command prompt and unplugging my phone. had to do this a few times because i mistyped a letter or space
-if your phone says it needs to be verified with bugging or something like that - go to settings - devl opt - scroll down to usb bugging - turn it off, wait a couple seconds then turn it back on
-if phone not connecting properly to the computer try a new usb port. one of my ports worked fine one day, then i tried it again another day and it said that the usb port was malfunctioning.
-if wanting to move apps to the sd card the go to devl opt - scroll near the bottom to enable force allow apps on external. did this after the video and now moving multiple apps to my sd card
OMG THX! i have literally been trying to move an app to sd for literally 3 hours and u just saved my day ty so much :D
Yes the last option is crucial in order to enable apps to be moved to SD
what if i successfully followed all the step in the videos, but after i reboot my phone, the SD card is missing (as it should be, according to the video), but my overall storage doesnt increase. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much, my lack of space was driving me crazy! Very easy to follow tutorial that worked like a charm! I did have one easily fixed issue in case anyone else does, after I installed a new game it would immediately close upon opening it, I simply went to the app's settings and selected the storage option, to see that it was still set to SD card despite the storage being combined. I moved the app storage to 'Internal', an option most of my games didn't even allow before this, and it opened without any further issue~
THANK YOU! I bought an A01 in a pinch after losing my phone in Lake Erie. Was ready to rip my hair out after finding out that I couldn't move ANY apps to my new 256BG SD card. LIFESAVER!
Thank you! Bought this as a WiFi only phone for my kid but it isn't great for games when you can't expand the storage. So happy to have found this video!
Tablet could've been a better option but hey you do you
You made me feel like a real programmer with your excellent tutorial. Thank you!
good stuff. followed the instructions and got it working. went from 16GB internal to 144GB. pretty crazy you have to go thru shell cmd script to get this working however. all these phones should allow this from the get go without all the added hassle. Thank you very much for the instructions. One of my kids apps was essentially taking up almost half of the avail internal storage that was left on the phone and we kept getting the low storage space error.
Note: - i also had to change it to USB tethering in the connection type as another comment suggested.
OMG YOU SAVED MY LIFE I SPENT 6 HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE THIS VIDEO OUT AND ITS WORTH IT TYYYYYYYY!!!!
To revert this, go through the same process, only that when you get to 6:42 make it mixed storage and the value 100. This way you get your entire space back as external storage. I hope this helps.
Hi what should I try if the command prompt cannot find the path ''cd adb\platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows\platform-tools'' ?
@@unarinenkomo3788 Open the folder platform-tools and hold down the Shift key while right-clicking on the folder. Choose the option to “Open PowerShell window here.” (or “Open command window here” on some computers.)
@@beatrizsmdr thanks!
I tried this, but nothing worked, did I missed something? after setting it to mixed and setting the value to 100, I then continued to "sm set-force-adoptable false".
This worked fine on my Samsung Tab A (8", 2019) running Android 10. Thanks very much for a clear and accurate presentation.
with s pen?
2 years later I am here as well with an a8.
How does your internal storage show? As one combined or does it still show them separately?
Thank you in advance.
This worked perfectly. The only problem I encountered was when I typed adb devices in the cmd prompt the phone didn't show, even though it was listed in chrome. I just unplugged the usb and replugged it and the phone showed up. Thank you!!!
THANKS BROO, YOU SAVED MY LIFE
Omg thanks I was stuck for 30 mins
If i had already some data in SD card then will it deleted or stays in it??
This worked like a charm on my Galaxy Tab A7 2020! Thank you!!
Same
Bro how did u checked that it worked
Hi, I have one question. Can I set the SD card back to external storage after I set it to internal storage? Btw, great video!
Still working in 2022. SAVE YOUR PICTURES ON INTERNAL IF YOU CAN BEFORE FORMATTING. Should've saved my pictures before formatting the SD card, I lost all my precious pictures of my goofy animals and memories, including some work related stuff. However my excitement and relief far outweigh my sadness. I can finally put all 128 GB to good use after sitting uselessly in my phone for a year. Thank you so much!!!
Duuuuude, yours was the first and ONLY method I found and tried immediately and you saved my life! I use the A01 for testing our work development apps and I got so ridiculously frustrated about the SD card not being able to house more apps.
I can see you've been in development for a while and you know your stuff! I am sufficiently impressed and you get the ROCKSTAR title from me and my coworkers. Damn, this worked first time, every time. Had to fiddle a bit with the commands to get it to recognise the device eventually, but once it did, BOB's YOUR UNCLE!
I would never in my life have been able to even guess my way around what you did, but you rock! Thanks for saving me from having to buy another phone and use the A01 as a paperweight! Thank you for an incredible solution to something that is supposed to be incredibly simple (but Samsung had to be stupid about it)
KUDOS! You are TH-cam Channel of 2021! (well for me at least)
Hi @Christiano Cabrera. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad this solution worked for you and your co-workers. What kind of apps do you develop and are they live on the PlayStore so that I can check them out? If there is anything you would like me to cover, please let me know. Cheers.
@NKTStudios I tried it but after it was done when I go to storge it doesn't show an increase in memory and my sd card is no longer listed at all. Can you let know why this happened
Thank you so much for this I followed it and it works! but dont forget to enable: force allow apps on external
in developer options (its down near the bottom) now when I install new apps they save to the microSD card
not sure about moving existing apps tho
It doesn't work. Once the internal storage is full I couldn't install apps without freeing up space. It's unfortunate really.
A solution I found is to go to developer options under settings and enable the option to force allow apps to external. This would then enable every existing (and future) app to be stored in SD.
@Frank thank you! This fixed my problem!
Just tried the exact same step with my 32GB ROM ASUS Max Pro M1, below are the results:
1. It works, now my SD Card can be used as phone internal storage, total storage I have now 32GB + 32GB = 64GB.
2. Not all apps able to store in SD card (ex: Outlook), but tried other apps like Excel, Words, & Open Camera, it able to store in SD Card, so depends on the apps.
3. I use SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-I A1, but haven't tried all apps performance, so can't tell any apps performance degrade or not.
Problem & troubleshoot I found:
1. At first using win 7 it cannot detect device on chrome, I switched to other laptop using win 10 then it able to recognize the device.
2. Choose the "USB Tethering" mode when the Android device connected to computer, at first I choose "File Transfer" & not work. Also don't forget to accept any permission request after choose "USB Tethering" mode.
3. During execute adb devices command on command prompt, it didn't show my device although on chrome://inspect my device is recognize, then I unplug the device & reconnect then start the step from beginning again, it solve the problem in my case.
Big thanks for the uploader, I think it's the most straightforward & easiest method among other videos I watched. Hope it helps too for others.
Update (25 Nov 2021)
After 5 months, I have a case which need to factory reset my phone and this tutorial still works like a charm! I still able to set SD Card as my internal storage. Awesome!
This worked for me today. A couple of things:
As well as turning on usb transfer, turn on stay awake in developer mode
For this command the file name is different. Make sure to check that the name between adb and platform-tools is the same as the file that contains platform tools. For me it was platform-tools-latest-windows
C:\>cd adb\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools
Also depending on how your unzipper, there may not be a file in the middle. If you opening the adb file in file explore leads to the platform_tools file, then the command you should use is:
C:\>cd adb\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools
Good Luck!
for anyone who is having trouble getting the device to show up in cmd, make sure to set your usb connection to usb tethering
Thank so mush
@@unbelievable6220 You might need to change the USB configuration in Developer Options.
Go to Settings, all the way down to choose Developer Options.
Scroll past the Debugging section to Networking section, and pick Default USB Configuration.
Note the current setting in case you want to change back to that.
If it is NOT "USB Tethering," change to USB Tethering.
Tap the "back" arrow at the top left to return to previous screen, then leave Settings.
Try the ADB commands again.
Finally! Someone figured it out. I wonder if you figured out a way to root the samsung a01
With this instruction there is not need for root the phone there is another video pretty simple how to uninstall bloatware that came with this phone preinstalled...following the same principals and cmd
@@yermo130 can u link the video please?
I am on an A01, and as a few others have commented, this no longer appears to work with the Android 11 update. All of the commands run, but the storage available does not increase. Also the UI has changed. Settings -> Battery and device care -> Storage. The Advanced option is now in the upper right. The SD card does disappear, but does not show any additional storage available. Luckily the backout commands still work.
hi can you please share the backout command please. Thanks.
Thank you much, it worked great for my wife's Samsung Gallaxy A01 phone after much headache trying to transfer apps to her SD card.
It didn't work for me! When i my phone is restart it first it didn't merge with my internal stirage fhen it shows error in my sd card I tried it almost 7 times but same thing happen again and again please help🙏
You are a true LEGEND! Thank you sooo much!!! It's been killing me and nothing worked! TY TY TY !!!
Thank you very much for helping me fix my phone. The only reason I picked it was due to the ability to add storage by a micro SD card. When asking developers why the feature was removed, some claimed that the apps "couldn't run from an SD card" which makes the option almost useless. Glad to know the were wrong
Any update on how to make it work with android 12 ?
You, sir, are an awesome and helpful individual. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this guide!
So your video helped me format sd card as internal storage, but it still maxes out the 16gb that came with the phone. It shows 80gb total between the phone and a 64gb sd card. I think the question we all need answered is how do you partition the OS to the 16gb phone storage and your apps separately to the sd card storage? Please, there has to be a solution to this! You got us all this far!
I tried loading a bunch of dreamcast games on my phone after doing what the video said, after the memory gets to 16GB you can't load anymore data, even though it is showing it has more memory
All it did was fool the phone into thinking it had more memory when you still just have 16GB now when you connect your phone to a pc you don't even see the sd card side by side with the phone memory. What is going on here I was so happy now not so much.
Go to developer options and enable "force allow apps onto external storage " all good.
@@peapodprescot1671 Hmm. I tried this, but unable to move apps. Says not enough storage.
Thank you! Tried this on my daughters phone. It appears to have worked ok. Fingers crossed it gives her the much needed storage that she required for the phone to operate smoothly.
Man, you're a life saver! thanks to you, I can now use my 256gb sd card as internal storage
Still insufficient memory when I try to install more apps. Help plss🙏

Thanks a million. I too was about to through my phone out of frustration, this has helped so much! I hope to later increase to a larger SD card since I used a 64G that was available. I'm assuming that a factory reset, then reestablish with a larger SD card? Then how would you recommend backing up data?
Thanks so much. I Will see if it starts auto-saving content to the SD card once the internal drive is full.
Did it?
Mine didn't
I want to know too! Did it work for you?
After I restarted my phone, I had the notification SD Card Missing. It didn't expand the internal storage. I followed all the steps exactly. Just seeing if I'm not the only one.
I did everything according to the video but after i restarted my phone no storage has been increased also sd card not showing plz help urgent. I am usi ng android version 11 by the way. How can i reverse the process?
i followed all your steps and made sure to force allow in the dev. section and it still doesn't work
when you do adb devices to check connectivity, you have to make sure your device doesn't say "unauthorized" instead of "device". I think that's the only thing he doesn't really talk about that could mess up your debug.
Thank you so much for explaining that so well. I also am using almost the entire 16 gb storage on my Samsung A01 and I would have had no idea how to do this.
I did it but it didn't work.
I did this, worked as shown in the video, but the phone wouldn't use the memory on the card. The phone said I had 86 gigs of memory, but wouldn't use the card memory; basically, I was still stuck at 16 gigs internal and no more.
For those who can’t see their device in adb devices, try the following: 1) disconnect the phone
2) turn off developer mode
2.5) restart the phone/pc
3) connect phone via usb
4) turn dev mode back on
5) turn stay awake on
6) turn debug via usb on
7) try adb devices again
Stumped after typing "adb devices" - my device is not listed. I did everything up to that point.
me too
Just restart your phone

I had same problem. Go to appuals.com/fix-adb-devices-not-found/ and follow the instructions. I loaded a Universal ADB driver and followed the instructions and was able to see the device and partition my sd card.
I think he forgot to say you have to enable "USB Debug" in developer menu
says my memory card now is missing, which is fine. but it also indicates its there. so i go to use stuff and it says now that i still have low space and that i should get rid of files. please help

@@Snow-qe8rd ok so after having done it a bit ago i realize that i cant use any app or file on that storage drive, so yes it does but not perfectly in my case, so be warned
As there any way you can move it without a computer

A few times the card is missing, even though it's there, and once it was corrupted. I've reformatted and started again about five times, and no luck. Is the card messed up? Any ideas?
I have the same problem, how did you fix it?
OMG YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!! It worked for me!! I'll be sharing it to all the forums where these people think files are the same thing as apps....
It works as shown, but when I try to download an app it still just says it's out of space
I have the same. It all looks like it worked in the settings, but I can't load up anything new.

IT WORKED! THANKS! At first I didn't think it will work since the device wasn't popping up but I unplugged it and plugged it in to my computer again and it showed up and worked effortlessly!
Alright, I have followed the steps and restarted my phone. Let's see if this actually works. Samsung - hate your for selling a phone w very low rom and without easy options to increase it. If this one works, you definitely deserves a subscribe man.
Unfortunately, it just hid my sd card and it didn't work. Lol.
you reverse it (at least how i did) by going through the steps again and instead of doing disk private, make a partition of it, this should make the sd card visible again (idk if it disappears for everyone but it did for me) where you can then format it back to a completely normal external/portable storage. it will delete everything on it again of course.
How. Can you make a video showing that. Now I can't access my SD card
@@tshidisoraleie4213 You could try going through all the steps shown, with one change:
Instead of "private" at the end of the sm partition line, use "public" (no quotation marks).
@@FuzzyElf thanks much, the private worked for me. wish I'd seen the Doesn't Work for Android 11 before I started this!
Hey... thank you very much it works. 1 question... if i want to upgrade the sd card to larger storage, do i hv to clone theold one right? and do i have to run this process again?
Hi @Bananas Explains, You have to clone the old one to the new one and then run this process to register the extra space.
@@NKTStudios ah ha... thanks
It works! Works on Android LK51 too!! I have been looking everywhere for this! Thanks!!

This worked, but when I try downloading new apps the system doesn't let me install them. Help.
Same. It shows up correctly like yours at the end of the video, but still complains that there's no space available? SD card is 512 and empty.
does my phone need to be rooted in order to make my sd card adoptable? im trying to run this stuff in cmd but any adb commands get access denied, please help
Same problem bro :
Make sure you are opening the cmd prompt in "admin mode". The easiest way to do this is to search for cmd and then right-click the icon and choose "Run as administrator"
This is how a tutorial is meant to be done.
NKT Studios I used your video tutorial and it worked perfectly. I have tried several tutorials which never worked but yours did superbly. Thank you very much for the tutorial.
This worked great for months. Thank you. I just did the latest update and now it doesn't even see my SD card. Did they close this option for more storage? Is there another work around for their newest software upgrade?
Hi @JB, I will have to check this and update!
Yes it seems the new android 11 changed the way apps can access read external storage like SD card. So basically in order to improve data privacy, google has come up with a new system known as "scoped storage" which prevents apps to access different directories other than the app's one. You can read more on this here: developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage#scoped-storage
@@NKTStudios Thank you for the awesome video. Have you had a chance to check on @JB's query. I am experiencing the same issue.

: are u on Android 11?
When I enter the command ADB SHELL the return message is: adb.exe no devices/emulators found and when I type ADB DEVICES the return message is :List of Devices Attached" but shows nothing else, any help would be appreciated.
I had same problem. Go to appuals.com/fix-adb-devices-not-found/ and follow the instructions. I loaded a Universal ADB driver and followed the instructions and was able to see the device and partition my sd card.
that was exactly my problem too
FOLLOW-UP: I was able to follow and complete this as well as the follow on which shows how to move apps to SD card on A01. HOWEVER, IT IS A TOTAL FAILURE THAT NKT STUDIOS DOESN'T ADDRESS. I had 128GD SD card and when I tried to move the apps it said not enough storage memory (which is total bull!). If I uninstalled an app and then installed it, it would be storage on the SD card but when I tried to run the app it would CRASH on opening. If I moved the app to internal storage it would then transfer successfully (as opposed to the opposite direction) and then the app would run just fine. So while you can partition an SD card for internal storage it won't allow you to load and run apps from that location. That is the whole point of this exercise - so I claim it is a failure. I wish NKT would have addressed that up front before I went through all of this trouble. It also seems that if you want 32GB of internal storage you have to buy an international version of A01. It would be nice if all of the reviewers had mentioned any of this. I read the reviews carefully before buying this phone and NOBODY mentioned this serious deficiency.
@@michaelhanrahan364 It annoys the hell out of me that phone companies say, for instance, 16GB of internal storage when they know full well the OS takes up 5 or 6 of that. As affordable as FLASH storage is, there's no reason for any phone to have less than 32GB when they could up the price by, say, $5 per unit and make up the difference.
Hi, can you tell us hoy to revert this option? Thanks
You could try going through all the steps shown, with one change:
Instead of "private" at the end of the sm partition line, use "public" (no quotation marks).
That will destroy anything stored on the card again.
@@FuzzyElfdoes anything happen in the internal storage? And if I just remove the SD card from the phone what will happen?
THANK YOU!!! It worked easily!!!!
However, I see that on the "external storage" there are system files added.... just wondering if the SD card is removed, if it will corrupt the phone and make it unusable....
and if I want to undo this action , what would be the process?
I tried this on two phones. It worked on the first perfectly, than, you. However, it didn't work on the second. The SD card is coming up as "unavailable", and the storage is still only reading as 16GB. I tried again with another SD card, but the same thing occurred. Any ideas please?
Now the first phone isn't recognising the SD card as internal storage again, and the apps that were working and stored on the SD are greyed out.
Even after I did what you said on the video my phone can't hold data past 16GB when it now says 21.03GB used out of 275GB Something is very wrong we need more information. Help us please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you found a fix for this? It doesn't seem like the method described in this video actually works.

You have to enable "force apps to be installed on SD" In the developer options
Hey there NKT Studios, I did this and while I can now move apps to the SD card, I can't move files there, and depending on how I view the SD card (files, vs system) I either have 128GB or 0k available on the SD card now.
I think that what has happened is that the phone does in fact view the SD card as internal storage, but there is something in the OS that still has a cap at 16GB of memory, despite there being an additional ~128GB of memory available (minus the space taken up by the apps I have moved there).
I think what needs to happen is that this code needs to be edited to reflect the actual memory available, but I don't know how to go about doing this, or how to look at the code to find where that information is. What would you recommend?
Hmmm 🤔
@NKT Studios Can you confirm whether Samsung closed this loop hole with their Android 11 update? I followed your instructions as stated, receiving no errors. However, my internal storage is still only showing 16GB and I no longer see my inserted 512GB SD card in Settings after setting the adoptable SD card to private.
Did you get your SD card to work? Same thing JUST happened to me also!
@@drmo717 No I have not. As soon as I can move on from this phone, I will. I'd imagine the phone now needs a complete jailbreak and custom ROM in order to install apps on SD card. What a shame. This is why people run for the hills and pay through the the nose for an iPhone.
@@johnreagan Samsung decided to disable this feature. Adoptable storage is a feature that comes with Android, I believe, but manufacturers can choose to disable it which makes no sense to me. My last phone didn't have the option because LG disabled it, but my current phone does. I wonder why thoigh
Yes it seems the new android 11 changed the way apps can access read external storage like SD card. So basically in order to improve data privacy, google has come up with a new system known as "scoped storage" which prevents apps to access different directories other than the app's one. You can read more on this here: developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage#scoped-storage
It worked and the way you explained everything in the video super easy thank you
When i tried this method, when i try to install apps it still says i need to freeup space even tho i have 160gb??
@임순지, go to Developer options and enable Force allow apps on external.
I already did it but nothing happen
@@NKTStudios My older Samsung Galaxy J3 does not show "Force Allow Apps on External" in Developer Options at all. I also get the message that I need to free up space. What do you suggest?
I've tried this also. Apps do not move from internal to SD saying not enough storage space but the SD card shows plenty of space. Any other suggestions?
I did this yesterday and it worked, but today when I woke up it was again back to how it was in the beginning, then I did the whole process again, will it revert back on it's own. Ansd it said "corrupted", what does this mean?
Same here. Still no solution
Try rebooting the phone. That worked for me
Your video is the most helpful one out there! I was lost for a sec and I found your video!! Thank you so much. ❤
I want to thank you so very much for this tutorial. The guidance and explanation were spot on and the explanation and reason for each step was useful to help me understand why I was doing the step. Am definitely following/subscribing!
It worked but now when I try putting apps on the sd card it says its full
You have to delete an app and then try to install another bigger one
@@carlosruiz-uf6qy I deleted Netflix and reinstalled it. It now crashes on launch with error: o.PersistentDataBlockM...keeps stop...
Thank you for your detailed explanation. The only bit that didn't work for me was navigation to the adb folder. To get around this I dragged the folder into the command prompt window and then it worked for me.
which folder did you drag?
You sir, are a saint. Thank you.
This only half works into tricking your phone. Some gallery features may not work warning. Google Play you get "You're very low on storage " warnings as well. If we could fix those it would be great.
My phone restarts before I put in that final command and it doesn't work after that
yes... its true
Dude you rock was going to through this crap phone away. For others who have tried and think this does not work read the comments for tips
Thank you my friend, I don't know what to do without your video
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was easy to follow and very well done. I was so pissed at my phone, but now I have loads of storage. Note, I couldn't see my device after typing in adb devices. I found another suggestion online, to turn debugging off, then on. That worked and I was able to complete the process. Thanks, again.
I did that by accident, but it did finally list my device which wasn't there before. Thanks for posting this!
@@Hajimodo or yall can turn on usb tethering
everytime i get to that step is says access denied?
thanks for the note
Muchas gracias amigo,me has ayudado a incrementar mi almacenamiento!!
Si te sirvió? Que clase es tu memoria clase 10 o 30?
This worked and I am really impressed. Thank you very much. I had a charging cable but not one that the computer could read. I went and bought a fast charge cable and the computer was able to recognize that. It was Powertek fast charge from Walmart for $9.99. Well worth it. I felt like I threw out my money because I bought the internal storage and it was useless. I am so glad to have come across your video. People, this does work for Ao1 trac phone.
Well it sort of worked. It shows as it says in video but if I try to download anything it says I don’t have enough memory. Would there be a reason why it won’t use the SD card? Please help
thank you so so much ive been searching for something like this for the last 2 weeks you are a life saver!
After i do this, i cannot read my sd card on my laptop, how do i solve this?
Thank you sir...🙏
So i can't manage any files in it. Even in my phone it can't be read, and not managable,,,
Once you set the storage as adoptable you will no longer be able to manage it via a computer. So if you need a manageable storage set the adoption to a percentage instead of setting as private.
Same to what happened on my SD Card, so does it mean that my SD card is now useless? No longer readable. :(
@@rodelsubac3775 no longer readable by the PC nor by the phone. You will have to format it using the phone to use it as a normal SD
@@missakaiddamalgoda1879 not even readable thru phone... but i was able to recover it via CMD.. using this "sm partition disk:179,64 public" and is now back to normal. Thank you for your response!
So I was able to do this and it worked, the storage showed the total of the phone GB plus the SD GB but even so, any app I tried to download after I made the change, would not work. It just does not open. It downloads fine but when I try to open the app it continues to crash and shut down. It does not even let me load it once to log into it, it doesn't open at all. Any suggestions?
I am having the same problem
What worked for me was to move the app to internal storage and then it worked fine.
Thanks. Worked for my niece’s droid.
THIS IS PERFECT - Cannot get simpler.
Backup the SD card data before following these steps!
you should never store data on a card that you are formatting
Bless your heart man, thank you so much this worked! :) Why would #Samsung put consumers through this?
Because they want you to pay $50-100 extra for a model with $5-10 worth of more memory. Same as Apple.
I tought at first you were caping but your video actually helped me
DISCLAIMER: You may have problems launching apps moved to or installed on the SD card after doing this. This video only shows you how you can integrate your SD card into your phone's internal storage. It will still make a distinction between the phone's solid-state memory (the storage that your phone came with) and the SD card and this can cause it to still display your in internal shared storage amount.
A simpler way to have apps on the SD Card without negative repercussions would be to see if individual apps can be moved to the SD card manually -> on Samsung devices this can look like this: Go to Settings > Apps > Choose an app you'd like to move > Storage > Change storage location > SD Card.
Hi! Can i ask you if this tutorial also works on other samsung device? Im using samsung j7 core rn... Im asking you since the guy on the tutorial doesnt seem to respond to questions and you seem knowledgable about this. Thanks in advance
I'm having a path problem when I do the command prompt portion. I"m new at try this.
I tried a few times
