i was using adopted storage on R.remix marshmallow. i wanted to convert it back to usual storage i tried the usual way through settings and phone rebooted in the middle of doing that process and now the phone doesn't recognize the sd card. i tried formatting though PC and phone, changing to internal adopted storage/external back and forth. even wiped cache,data of phone via twrp. i currently only have the micro sd card with me. how can i make it like a normal sd card?
i dont have any linux to try some of the methods i found. i need a windows solution. thanks

I tried to format my sd cards tonight via computer format option. However my computer shut down in the middle of the process and now I can't see my sd cards anymore. I can't mount it at all. When I go into the recovery to wipe it, twrp says failed.
Does this mean it's completely dead?
solved it.
googled and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806059 for my internal sd card
and for my external, i used a card reader, plugged to pc, and reformat it.
also checked both cards for errors.
whew. i am never gonna reformat my cards again. ever.
Hi, I recently upgraded to CM13 (Marshmallow) to have a look at the new features. One of those was the new SD card management. I decided to format my sd card and make it part of the internal memory but something went wrong and i ended up with a 15mb sd card (instead of it's original 16GB) that I can't reformat in any way. I downgraded back to lollipop hoping I could format the SD there and recover my lost memory space but I can't manage to do it. I tried with many root apps on play store for that purpouse but none of them worked. I think it's maybe because marshmallow encripts the sd card before formatting it but I dont know how to remove that encription.
Anyone has any idea of what can I do to solve this? Thanks.
Make a format on PC. You'll lost your data whatever, but I think it may help ? but the best way for you is to flash another rom. I think.
You have to recreate the partitions on your SD. If you have a USB adapter, you can just do it in your PC (via right click on Computer, Manage and Disk Management or fdisk in linux). If you don't have a USB adapter, you can try to recreate via TWRP (I never tested this).
Delete all partitions and create just one VFAT/NTFS/exFAT
The problem is that I dont have a usb adapter or card reader and if i plug it via phone it doesnt detect it as mass storage so i can't format from there.
Go ahead and buy a USB Card Reader they are super cheap and handy.
I just got a 128GB SD card and I decided that it is a good idea if I encrypt the SD card, since the device is already encrypted. I didn't encrypt my last card, just for the record.
Anyway, I'm familiar with how Android Encryption works, I know the risk, I backup my phone regularly, and I know that putting the SD card DIRECTLY into another device or PC is not an option, anymore. Only my G4 can read/write to the SD card while it's encrypted.
Problem is this, I ASSUMED that so long as the SD card is in the phone and the phone is plugged into my PC, I could make file transfers between the SD card and the PC (the phone would handle the encryption process). No such luck. I have no way to transfer files between SD card and PC, unless I decrypt manually.
Any suggestions?
I just can across this same issue last week and have been hunting for an answer with no luck. Have you found any?
I though i could move files around internally and the OS would handle decrypting the files as they went from the SD card to the internal storage. I was a bad assumption. I want to encrypt the SD Card, but I cant move files onto or off of it.
Hi
I had a microsd card formatted as internal storage in my LG G4 running CM 14, unfortunately I had to reflash stock rom due to issues I ran into upgrading CM 14. The sd card is now not recognized without being formatted (in PC or Phone), there is a lot of data that I had in there that I would rather not loose.
I am currently running a windows recovery tool called DiskDigger on it which is scanning for known file types, but is there a way I can mount this sd card?
Thanks
No, you can't
And since an external SD adopted ad internal is supposed to be encrypted I suppose that "normal" disk recovery utilities will be useless.
Sorry
Hi,
so, the other day my G3 was often shutting down the screen on my RR 7.1.1. so I decided to flash an update. Wiped everything excl. external_sd slot. I selected the flashing zips and ran the flash. It blinked super quickly and then it restarted (no flashing). Now TWRP didn't recognize the sd card. In selecting storage (Internal Storage, Micro SDCard, USB OTG), Micro SdCard showed 0MB and refused to be clicked (only vibrated). Same behaviour was shown in the Mount menu (couldn't even click the SD card). There were always sdcard and external_sd card for actual card folders, so I think that was normal. The card was 128 Samsung Evo card, so I thought that it was maybe the formatting issue (though I never had this behaviour before) I formatted it to FAT32 (was exFAT), and inserted the flashing zips via usb cable. Then weird things started to happen. Sometimes Android saw the card (for like maybe a few seconds), tried to scan it for corruptions, gave me option to select is as external storage device, and... the device basically disppeared. It works on other devices, and it gives the same effect no matter what card I put into G3. I don't think it's a hardware issue (as said, it works from time to time - it even gave me once an option to format it after saying it was corrupted and then I was able to see the files), but I don't know how to fix it from TWRP and OS standpoint.
Any ideas what can I do to make my LG read consistently external sd cards again?
