split SD card partition on HTC 10 - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Is anyone able to split the sd card partition to split internal and external storage? I tried the ADB command "sm partition disk 179,64 mixed 50" and only half gets internal and the other half corrupted. Was anyone able to split with the HTC 10. Thanks!

Use Foldermount. I don't use it/need it, but I know of other HTC 10 owners that do.

SD Card Partition Lost

After successfully rooting my Evo I decided to partition my SD Card, I had a 16gb SDHC class 2 card, after the somewhat successful partition, I now have a 1.98gb SDHC class 2 card
I used Acronis to partition the SD card and, for all intents and purposes it seemed to have worked, but then my pc stopped recognising the sd card as did Arconis, when I switched to disk drive on the phone. I took it to work and the work pc did recognize it but Arconis still doesnt. Any one have any ideas how to get my partition back, I have tried several different so called Partition Recovery Software programs, none of them have been able to detect the missing partition.
Can anyone help? Any help is appreciated
ok, so I got one of the issues resolved, I had forgotten to add a drive letter to the SD Card, thats why my pc was not able to see it. however the missing partition is still a problem

Help!, I can't partition my empty Micro SDHC card!

Hi forum!
I've tried the Galaxy S lag fix and it worked perfect, but when i wanted to try out the fix with the ext4 file system i suddenly can't create partitions on my SD card anymore.
I'm using Paragon Partition Magic 11, and i can see and delete the partition on my the SD card, the data is now shown as 16gb unallocated, but when i try to create new partitions i get a strange error:
The disk already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended ones.

But i deleted all the partitions in Paragon?!
Windows Disk Manager can't delete or format the partition.
I'm using a Kingston 16gb class 10 Micro SDHC card, but i have also tried with an older Nokia 1gb Micro SDHC card with the same error.
Hope somebody can help...
I've made a discovery of my own...
It seems that even though Paragon deletes the partition on my SD card, it's not really gone.
After deleting the partition "successfully", i take the card out and put it in again... Paragon still sees a 16gb Fat32 Partition.
Windows Disk Management can also see a 16gb Partition, but it can't delete it.
Any suggestions?
I can't even format the SD Card

[Q] Mac Formatting of SD Card Renders the Card Unavailable

I apologize if this has been covered but I tried a couple of searches of the forums and google and didn't get a definitive answer.
I was researching rooting, updating the ratio and installing froyo on my Incredible and started to gather up the files and test my setup. I ran into a problem before anything really got off the ground. In order to complete the above process correctly the SD card should be formatted in FAT32 so I hooked my incredible up to my mac and formated using disk utility. Once I format the sd card with my mac the incredible lists the sd card as unavailable under >settings>sd card and storage. I have also tried the newfs_msdos utility from the terminal and again no luck. I am hoping that someone with a deeper understanding can point me in a direction other than find a pc.
Thanks

When you selected format did you choose FAT32? MAC use a Unix (journal file System) format by default.
It is much better to power down the phone pull the SDCard and place it in the the computer for formatting, the Incredible has 2 memory locations 1 8GB internal (non-removable) and the SDCard that you an remove, when you connect to a MAC both memory locations will be displayed.
You very lucky you did not format the the internal location.
Hope this helps
Try formatting it via the phone. Settings - phone storage - format SD card. You can do that in every Rom but cyanogen.

couple weeks ago i played around with disk utility on my mac too and my card stopped being recognized, it finally took me turning the phone off, popping the card out, and pushing it back in and it came right up. might give it a try.

Yes. This. I have a mac and I formatted my sdcard using disk utility to FAT32 and I have had no problems, but just format from the phone.
Are getting a 200mb partition and that's it or is it completely unrecognizable. Formatting it through the phone is the only way I've found to get rid of to clear that partition.

I formated to the "MS-DOS" option using both utilities. The disk utility defaults to FAT32 and the other utility was specified as FAT32. The result is that after formatting the disk utility says that the device format is mac OS extended (journaled) and the volume is MS-Dos FAT32. I have tried both utilities while the sd card in the phone and the phone is connected and while the sd card is directly in a reader. I believe that while the sd card was in the reader, I may not have gotten the mac os extended formatting in the device but it still wasn't recognized by the phone.
I have formatted the card several times with the phone, to make it readable again after formatting with my mac. Unfortunately, I still have the stock 2.1 that the phone was shipped with and that formats the sd card to FAT16 not FAT32. I assume that if I buy are larger sd card the phone may bump it up to FAT32 but am just puzzled by the inability of phone to read the mac formatting of FAT32.
I have also tried turning the phone off and on after reinserting the sd card.
So, I guess, is there a way to force the phone to format into FAT32 rather than FAT16 from the settings.
Thanks

Download a utility called hirens boot cd. Burn the image and boot from it on a cd rom.this should give you a windows xp environment to properly format with among many other useful tools. I'm sure there is an easier way but I'm not that familiar with mac.
Hope this helps

[Q] need help restoring partition

hi,
i might have screwed up idk.
i have a rooted htc desire uscc. CDMA.
i attempted to install latest nightly build of cm_vision_full-23.zip. installation aborted. i attempted wiping, and it still said installation aborted. i attempted a sd card partition of 1024mb and swap size of 128mb. now i cant see any of my restore points. i have a 8gb card now it only reads 6.32gb. is there a hidden partition now? how do i read it? can i get to the restore files and restore (i did do a backup before doing anything, but i dont see those files now, they would be on the "missing" partition i think)
how do i get there? or am i just screwed? how do i get my full 8gb space back?
clockworkmod installed.
Partitioning will format the sd so all your files are probably gone. Also the reason you see only 6.XGb of space is because you have two other partitions using that space. In Windows you can't see the ext partition (i believe) but in linux you will see the card is still 8Gb. Depending on how important your data is you can try to recover it or just boot in to recovery, mount the sd and copy a rom to it.

ok. i can live with losing some of the data on the phone that i had on there. i need to restore it back to 8gb and just do a factory reset. what are the steps in doing that? do i just format the card in linux or something? i would like to remove the partition i created, and get it back to 8gb one partition.
Isn't all your data on the sd card gone as well?
If yes and you still don't really mind best thing is to find a card reader and connect it to a Linux machine (can be live cd or vm), then use whatever disk manage program is available and format the hole card as fat(32).
You might be also able to do this from the memory settings if your phone will boot, but i'm not sure if that only formats the fat partition or the hole card.
yeah its probably gone. im just curious what software would i be using to try and recover the data? if thats possible id like to give that a shot. if not, its not a big deal. i attempted to use "get data back for fat 32" but it doesn't see the other partition.
hm i have the phone connected to vm linux and its showing the mass storage as 6.8gb. i dont see any options to format it or change it to 8gb. what am i missing?
You need to run (or install) GParted
installed and ran gpart. i still only see 6.34gb as a single contiguous partition. theres nothing else i can change, or allocate. its as if i shrunk 8gb sd card to 6.34gb. whered the missing space go? gpart says 6.34gb is unallocated. it doesnt see any more space. all options are greyed out. cant resize, move, unmount, etc.
update: i went to a local target and bought a 8gb sd card with a generic usb card reader. i put the new card in my phone and formatted it via OS. it shows 7.60gb aval space. and 128mb internal space. when i put the old card into the reader i was then able to see all the partitions via windows 7. so, fwiw, you have to use a card reader to see the partitions on a sd card in windows 7.

Mixed adoptable storage

Hi,
Anyone knows how to mount an sd card on the HTC 10 with one partition formatted as "internal" and the other one as "portable"?
I've followed the instructions publicly available for the S7 using the adb commands and "sm partition mixed", but as soon as I run the command the storage shows as "unsupported" and I have to re-format it.
Unfortunately Spotify doesn't support the adoptable storage model, so need to have both on my phone.
Thanks.
