[PIE] Can't choose "use as device storage" with new sdcard - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I recently inserted a sdcard in my Galaxy S9 Exynos running Pie. The OS asks me if I want to use the sdcard as extra phone storage or as portable storage, but I can only choose the latter - the button for the first option is grayed out. Any ideas what might be the reason for that?

Thanks for the answer - doesn't work though

Samsung for some reason turned off anything that has to do with an external SD card for the pie beta whether they keep it that way for the actual release we wont know until its fully released bt starting with android marshmallow it introduced something called adoptable storage, this feature that allows you to use a SD Card as internal storage so now you can at least access the stuff on your sd card

I solved this problem myself. So I thank myself. Thank you JihangirKHAN you are the best :laugh:
Just install LG Mobile Support Tool. B2Cappsetup.exe
then click "install usb driver" option.
when finished the pc will meet with your phone.

This is interesting, because when I use old original stock rom, my notebook never wanted additional driver to see my LG P350...

[Q] MicroSDHC Card Issue

Just got a new SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC C10 card. I formatted it through Settings -> More -> Storage -> Format SD card. It formats it:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Whenever I try to copy files using Android Command, I either get "Permission Denied" or "No such file or directory" errors:
If I start up an FTP server, I can copy files through WiFi. I swapped out the new 32GB one with my old 8GB one and Android Commander can copy files fine. Any idea why AC can copy to the 8GB but not the 32GB? I don't want to upload 20GB worth of stuff through WiFi when I was able to do it through my USB cable. :silly:
UPDATE: Okay got it figured out in case anyone it happens to anyone else.
1) Reinstalled Busy Box.
2) Rebooted phone.
3) Enabled Insecure ADBD
Forgot to enable insecure adbd and AC was showing no root access. Enabled it, restarted AC and was able to copy some files but would eventually give this error:

UGH. Any ideas?

Now it's gone?

Ok so I am a firm believer on "search, learn and search until you understand"! I've been searching and haven't found much. This is the deal. I am on my 3rd replacement/refurb of this phone. We all hear that "every device is different" and I always agreed. Basically when I connect to PC in usb mode for file transfer usually I will have both internal and external sd slots available. With this refurb I can only see internal sd when phone is running regular and from recovery (agat 1.4.2) only external is viewable? How can I get both viewable at the same time again? I always run TW, tried pretty much all the GB27 ROMs and a couple different kernel options, tried a fresh 16GB and my older 32GB sd cards. I can't figure it out? It used to work no problem, not it's gone?Is this happening to others? Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks
So nobody else is are has had this problem? I'm usually pretty good at finding solutions and answers to problems, but this still has me beat!
I've had the problem before but not consistently and a reboot always fixes it.

[Q] Help on Missing Files and Folders

I have noticed something weird with my device. When I connect my device into a computer or laptop running on Windows 7 and then view the contents of my "sdcard folder" or the /storage/emulated/0/ directory, there are some files and folders that can't be seen.
Those files and folders, however, can be viewed in an explorer app within the device such as Root Explorer or if I access my device from my computer through SSHDroid using WinSCP or command terminal like Putty.
I'm attaching a screen shot of what it looks like.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do anyone here knows what's the issue in here, what caused this, and a way to fix this?
I'm running on stock rom 6.0.1 build number MMB29V, and my device is rooted.
Thanks in advance!
open Media Storage settings
clear data
reboot
@{fd}ware, I had the settings in Windows correctly. I learned from further reading from other sources that this isn't about the Windows Explorer settings. It was about the media storage rebuilding or refreshing.
Just like what @k23m responded, I have to clear media storage data and reboot the device to rebuild it.

CD Installer USB option - possible to repurpose?

When I plug my phone into my PC it offers me the option to expose the phone as a virtual CD ROM drive presumably mounting an ISO on the filesystem.

Think it'd be possible to change the ISO to mount windows 10 or linux live CDs?
edit: Seems the file mounted is /system/etc/PCTOOL.iso and seems like my PC would boot from it...
This is that the drivedroid app does, if that helps any

If you replace /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO with another valid ISO file, that'll mount when you choose that option. This was done a long time ago on the EVO 4G LTE. The ISO was replaced with adb & fastboot tools and an automatic command prompt.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720559
I don't see why something like that can be done on the 10 as well.
P.S. At one point I even tried running Ubuntu from it, but that got crazy, lol
Drivedroid requires root, was more of a thought exercise to avoid rooting the device.
