Hi,so i have been trying to unbrick my phone for a while but i have not gotten any luck finding the right SD card.Until recently i have found a store which are selling so i was wondering,there is Samsung EVO 64GB card Micro SDXC UHS-I but it is a 64GB ,so do you guys think i should buy it to try unbricking my S3 or should i wait to find 16GB,cause the 64GB aint cheap.and if you think i should wait can you tell me the name of the SD card that has like 90% chance of working
I think you will need a 16GB card to unbrick, it has to match your internal drive. Both enewman17 and docholliday have good threads on the process and restoration of stock ROMs. I had to try several images before I found the right one for my ATT SGS3 16GB.GOOD LUCK!

ww.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=19364
Even though I give "permission" to apps to write on sd card (by using "Select" option), my apps, including the in-built camera app cannot write to the card. Any solution?

If you have the xposed framework installed then install xinternalsd and handleexternalstorage modules..

Unrooted system. While trying to diagnose the problem, I found that my card has suddenly become read only, I can't even format the card. I tried on Android as well as on windows. Also tried SD Formatter. One of the site says to use diskpart and then use "attributes disk clear readonly". Let me see if it works.
Any other solution, please let me know.
On the Sandisk website it was written that the card automatically becomes read only when it is about to become defective - so probably that's what happened here. This is bad, I have sensitive personal info which I don't want to give to Sandisk, but I will need to give the card to Sandisk if I want a replacement Any solution?
Hello people!
I'll soon get the 10 and I'm thinking of trying out the adoptable storage feature, since I don't really care about removing the card or using it elsewhere.
I've got one question though. At first I'll use a kingston 64gb card. If, at the future, I want to upgrade let's say to 128gb one, how easy it is to swap the cards without losing any data and without the need to wipe/format the device?
Is it as easy as just plugging the 64gb card to the computer, copying the contents, and then moving the contents to the 128gb card? Or is it more complex than that?
For the record I am going to root the device (not sure about S-Off yet) and flash the Viper10 rom, if that has anything to do with the process.
Thank you in advance!

Honestly I'm not 100% on if you can migrate to another SD im sure it can be done but I wouldn't convert the SD to internal. If you need space for apps just use folder mount.
Have seen a few people have issues, but then again I suppose it depends on the rom.
Personally id avoid it like the plague.

Someone else had your problem I believe. They're thread is down below. Their name is serious flash. They reported a similar thing. But not sure if they were using adaptive storage.

They also posted 2 screenshots showing it.
My personal advice to prevent possible data loss is to back up the contents of your sd card and reformat it. Then re enable adaptive storage.
Here are the screenshots posted by him

Hmm weird. I guess adaptive storage is toast for now although I don't use it.
I have the same thing with the S4 Mini using Oreo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-lineageos-16-t3851339).
I have a 128GB SD card but it shows as 256 in adopted storage. I used adb to use only 25 percent of the card as adopted; the remainder being formatted as FAT32 so as to be able to access it from other computers. Maybe that has something to do with it? If anyone has the same problem please report. This is probably a bug in Android.
