how do i format the internal sdcard? im using cwm and that thread says its not possible. figured since it was internal after a wipe it would also clear it.
In "mount and storage" sHould be an option to format internal sd card (it might be listed as sd card only) Make sure you have all the files you need to flash on external sd card and your recovery is able to see your external sd card (our have ADB working just in case)

Atfer i format my sd card by the computer , the partitions will have gone and i'll need to creat them again?
there are directions how to do that?
tnx very much!
You shouldn't need to create partitions on the SD card after you format it. In fact, you can format it from the phone too. >Settings >SD & Phone Storage >Unmount SD Card >Format SD Card

the problem is that i cant choose "Format SD Card".
Only "Unmount SD card"..
Do as I said. You have to unmount before you can format.

I want to format (delete) my internal SD. Will this delete my current ROM? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks for any help...
Make sure you back up your info onto your computer. Your from is already installed as a daily driver. So if you format your internal memory, it will still be operational. But if you go into CWM and factory reset, then it may go back to stock or just be stuck in a boot loop, I've had both things happen to me.
So what if I were just to hook up to pc & delete all files on that drive? Would that be better?
I do that so I could have control and better view of my files. So that is a decent option to do too.
In CWM, go to mounts & storage, and then you can format whatever. The internal sd is called sd card, and external sd card is called emmc, pretty sure.

This info is correct. This is the other route you could go also to format your internal SD card.
with cwm must my zips for flashing be on the "internal" sd card?
(actually "internal sd card" is my external card (crossix swap) but sdcard is my "internal Card"
what is mount emmc in the mounts menu (i thought it might bt eht ExternalMeorme MediaCard. but I don't know
is ther eway to make my back up to the external card
is there a way to restore from the external card
should I use teamwinrecovery does it support the external card better?

CWM, your ROM should be in the INTERNAL memory.
TEAMWIN is either, you have an option within RECOVERY to choose internal/external SD.
In regard to making backups to microSD... You cant as of now... They are working on it...
If you want to use your EXTERNAL SD through TEAMWIN, boot to recovery, click on the MOUNT button and look at the middle of the screen, click on the box to the left of the "Using exterlan SDCard" and you will be able to flash from your microSD.
Hope that helps...
Hello,
IN recovery under mount and storage menu, there is an option format/SD card?
My question is that, will this format the external SD card or will it format the internal SD card ?
I want to make sure, because what I want to do is format my external SD card.
I tried formatting the card with my PC, the phone still can not see it.
My 32 GB external card , doesn't show up. Maybe If I format it using the phone, the phone will be able to see it.
thank you in advance
If your phone can't detect the external memory card, how can it format it? You'll end up formatting the internal card. Looking at my settings, I do not think the phone even allows you to format the external card from the Storage menu.
mmm. ...... I inserted an 8GB card in it, the phone was able to detect it, but when I insert the 32GB it can't see the card.
Any ideas what the issue maybe?
Hello,
i have been using adoptable storage for a while and i like it.
My adopted card however is getting close to full so i would like to switch to a larger one.
Has anyone done this? Is there anyway to transfer the data from the old to the new adopted card?
I dont have enough space on the phone memory itself to move everything back to the internal storage.
i can move pics and music to an hdd but not sure about apps and associated data that is on the card.
Thanks in advance!
You can send all files in sd card with a secondary app like zapya to computer and resend them to sd card when you adopted new sd card in your phone
Have you looked at HTC SyncManager?
I wasnt aware of these options i will look into them and report.
Thank you
Shouldn't it work if you just copy everything on your SD card to a PC, place the new SD card, format it as internal storage, copy everything back and restart?
I'm not sure if this works, but your apps are still installed on internal storage, only app data is placed on SD card.
Check settings > storage
If you tap on your internal storage, there should be some GB at apps and just a few MB on your SD card.

Except that pulling the adopted storage eviscerates the file system...
The only strategy I could fathom would be to duplicate the image onto the new SD card plugged in USB-OTG. If that were even possible, a concern would be changes during copy, making it inconsistent.
converted to adoptable storage but no data import option in the SD Card in storage
I am using a Samsung galaxy S5 and i converted my SD card to adoptable storage using adb shell process. after that there are two options showing in storage settings, internal storage and SD card.
Is it converted to Adoptable storage? If yes then why is there no option of importing data in the menu of 'SD card' storage option.
and how can i transfer from internal to SD card. or can make use of adoptable storage properly?
