You won't be able to ota a modified device. You can still update via odin though.

Either way the patch needs to be reapplied afterwards.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] greekguy32:
Thanks, but does this mean the SD card will need to be reformatted everytime after this process, or will it be reusable as is with its preexisting content after the firmware update via odin and the patch re-application?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] ashyx:
If you update you don't need to reformat the card.

In fact it should remain adopted even without reflashing the patch, but you will lose the settings for it under storage.

If you're not bothered about losing the settings then you can update with odin then after that ota's will work and the card will remain adopted.

[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] I installed with TWRP and formatted the card as portable first, and then as internal. In the middle of formatting I always get the "Slow SD Card" popup even though my card is a Class 10 Kingston card and gets 100MB/s reads and writes on benchmarks. After everything is done the sd card shows up as "corrupted" and needs to be formatted again to be used. I've tried rebooting, but it didn't work.

EDIT: After reflashing the stock kernel and stock rom with Odin and removing xposed the patch worked. Cheers.

Hello,

I tried to increase the internal memory for my Galaxy A3 2016 with the help of your solution here with "adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx". nevertheless, I didn't find the file on the link you supplied here. Do yiou have another solution to retrive this patch?

I'm also thinking of splitting my memory into 2 and using half as a portable storage and half as internal, does someone know if this is possible?

Answer to the second question is "NO", your windows OS won't be able to read the adoptable storage.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] seunskills:
So, I tried this, splitted my 128Gb Samsung memory card into 2, the phone saw the 2 partitions on booting and prompted to format either has internal or potable, I formatted the first partition as portable but before the formatting finished, the process crashed and the phone will only see the first partition. I had to remove the memory card and reformatted by the PC to recover the whole size. I tried this several times and still get the same result.

I'll appreciate someone's help in knowing how to keep the 2 partitions so I can use one as internal and the other as portable.

Thanks all.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] fanzizou33:
I did not try the fix yet on my A5 2016 A510F.

Is it working on the last Samsung Android 7.0 ?

I am also interested partitioning the microSD into 2 partitions if possible. I read that it is possible on the S7 with the following command from ADB :

adb shell , and then:

sm list-disks to get the SD card name (let's call it sdcardname), and then:

sm partition disk:sdcardname private

sm partition disk:sdcardname mixed:50

where 50 mean 50% of the full sdcard size for mountable partition.

No idea if it is working. I will try next week if the fix is confirmed here for Android 7 (as it change the kernel of Android 6 and not 7, I am not sure....)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] ashyx:
Some have reported it working for Android 7.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] fanzizou33:
Thank you for your answer.

If any XDA specialists could have a solution to have two separated partitions on the microSD (one for adoptable storage, the other mountable exFAT or whatever), it would be great. I will try few tricks with Minitool partition Wizard, but I am really not sure to success. The idea is to have the same configuration I have right now with Android 5 on the A5 2016 using Link2SD (without root first will be great also...).

Is there any attempt to make Link2SD working with Android Nougat (7) ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] danielfr40:
Thanks a lot for this patch which work fine on Galaxy A5 2016

it is nearly mandatory with Samsung with only 16GB of internal memory, since with the included software like office which take twice occupation, one in the stock and one as update, the legacy move on SD which is only partial and not available for every application, there is very few internal memory available (1GB in my case)

For information, after your patch, if you reinstall a stock rom, you'r patch is still active. So, you will have a legacy rom, with automatic update through internet, no risk of lock if protection against modified installation is on.

the only trouble is that I was started by default in energy saver mode, but every thing is normal after desactivation of this mode

I have reported your work on a french forum

Thanks a lot again

Please provide patch for Samsung On7.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] laurentd75:
Hi danielfr40,

Do you mean that if you have modified your Marshmallow 6.0 firmware on your Galaxy A5 2016 firmware to enable adoptable storage, you can then use Smartswitch to update to the latest 7.0 Nougat firmware, and your adoptable storage format and alkl your data will be preserved?

I have been postponing the upgrade of my Galaxy A5 2016 to Nougat for more than a year, because I am scared I will lose data or the adoptable storage feature I currently have setup with the Marshmallow 6.0 firmware thanks to the instructions provided by ashyx...

So if anyone can confirm whether it is possible to upgrade from a modified Marshmallow with an SD card configured with adoptable storage, to a Nougat firmware while retaining all data and the adoptable storage configuration, then I'll be really relieved to know I can safely update...

Cheers,

Laurent
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] danielfr40:
Yes I confirm

my galaxy a5 2016 has been upgraded in nougat now and the adoptable storage and data has been preserved

I don't remember if I had reinstalled first the stock or nougat, but now I have a not rooted nougat and have been automatically updated with some nougat revision.

adoptable storage and data preserved

it seems that adoptable storage patch is needed to build the unified memory between internal and external, but is then recongnized by stock os since it is a native function in android, just building has been removed by Samsung.

just during the building, you have to save your data on sd card, they are lost.

before the building some applications was internal other external, so I had to reinstall external application, application data was perserved probably in internal memory
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] laurentd75:
Many thanks for your quick reply danielfr40, and for the good news !!! :)

I'll try to upgrade to Nougat, I am currently rooted on Marshmallow but do not care very much if I lose the root privilege, it's becoming more of a hindrance than a good thing nowadays, with more and more apps detecting that you are rotted and blocking you...

Thanks again a lot;

Best regards,

Laurent

Well, actually, after seeing a video on the highlights of Samsung's Nougat build for the A5 2016, I'm not sure it's really worth upgrading:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywLFYJVdb5c

I must say I hate the new status / notifications area at the top, which requires you to swipe twice and scroll down to access the screen brightness slider, which I find is really cumbersome as I use it a lot when finding myself suddenly in bright sunshine, and it must be a pain to search for the slider while you are dazzled by the sun, whereas in Marshmallow you know exactly where the slider sits so you can even adjust it while you are blinded...

I was not really impressed either by the new Phone or Messages application redesign, I think they are less legible and there is less contrast than before for the menus...

So, al in all, I'm starting to think it's not worth the hassle...

But maybe you might have some good points about Nougat on the A5 2016 you can tell about Daniel, and give me a good (if not compelling) reason to upgrade, other than more upd-to-date and "secure" system ??
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] ashyx:
IMO it's well worth the upgrade. TouchWiz is really toned down and is finally becoming a nice GUI experience.

It has a nice smoothness to it now.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] laurentd75:
Thanks for your feedback on this ashyx. I value very much your opinion of course as you're the specialist here, but I think that unless I have a really compellling reason to upgrade, I'll stay with Marshmallow for the time being just for the usability reason exposed above which is quite important to me.

And if I decide to upgrade later then maybe it will be to Oreo as it is being released now according to the latest post by Marpo12 !

Thanks,

Installing the zip file WITHOUT the file signature verification.

rebooted the phone.

Going to (Settings) then (Storage) clicked on "Format as PORTABLE".

hi,

so I just got the s7 edge olympic edition and i read that it had a different firmware from the normal one so I have a few questions :

Can I root it? install the custom roms that are on the forum? If yes witch ones do you recommend ?

I haven't been on xda since like 2011 so i don't know a lot about kernels and stuff.

thanks for the Help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] secondclaw:
Olympic edition comes in two versions. The one given out to athletes at the Olympic Village is an international Exynos version, which is rootable as far as I understand. I believe that this one has no warranty outside Brazil either. Second version is one of 2016 copies made (it will be numbered on the back). I am not sure if all 2016 were US versions but at least some are US and are not rootable, as they are on Snapdragon chip.

I have one of US snapdragon editions.

Also the firmware is same as regular unbranded version (935U), but with an Olympic theme installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bokbok59:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] secondclaw:
Yes it should be fine. I assume you don't need Knox/Samsung Pay.

I'm curious, is yours one of the 2016 numbered editions? I hope they released a few hundred to each region.

I'm actually thinking of selling mine and buying international version. Mostly for better battery life. Many athletes that got theirs at the Village are now selling them on ebay so there are plenty of these to get.

Hi all, I just want confirmation that the universal using Beasty & Laurentius 2.08.01 ROM can handle 4GB and 8GB SDHC cards before I go ahead and buy one. I am currently using a 2GB SD card with no problems but obviously would like to have bigger SD(HC in this case), card available.

Thanks and hopefully you guys can let me know.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] EQUANCY:
Works perfect

Internal Read/Write speed is good.

But USB hdd mode terrible slow ( with SDHC cards )

I guess this come from USB 1.1 transfer capacity and speed limitations. ( I've forgot about Read/write buffers, Changing buffer may give damage the device Beasty or Laurentius has said that in a thread. )

Actually USB 1.1 has 42 mbps transfer rate ( SDHC Class 12 cards have 12~48 mbps ) but not in sale at this moment. Currently class 6 in shops ( 6 ~ 24 mbps )

I'm currently using SDHC cards and there is no problem.

Except : Device get small freezings while watching High resolution and high bitrate encoded videos ( 640*480 etc.. )

At the end.

Big storage good for more multimedia.

Note:I've not tried B & L 's latest rom yet . but I Think SDHC driver is same and come from one of Guru of Rom Masters mamaich and I always believe his works.Hopefully it's works for you too..

Stop using random firmwares, it just messes up the phone more. Use only the ones that are for your phone.

[General Accessories] Woogoo:
Last Saturday I used the same method as stated above (steamed bathroom to eliminate dust) to install a Tempered Glass Screen Protector on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. All went perfectly except for an odd effect under the glass. This is a picture. puu.sh/rqYWL/7e0c6469ba.jpg

The dark areas are where the TPSG is correctly bonded to the device and are perfectly clear, where the lighter areas are the problem areas. They cause a faint grainy rainbow tint in the device's graphics. I have installed tempered glass on phones before with the same method and they did end up with the rainbow tint after finished but with no visible defects like the tablet, and it went away after a day.

The brand I used is intelliGLASS HD by intelliARMOR. Is this effect caused by a defective protector or bad manufacturer or is there a way I can fix this? Or will it go away after several weeks? Also what brand Tempered Glass do you recommend for this device?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariojohn:
I have a rooted 5x nougat with twrp recovery and stock rom. When I attempt to copy my TWRP backup to my computer via MTP file transfer, I cannot. Same with my titanium backup folder. I also tried to move my TWRP backup to my DCIM folder such that I could try PTP file transfer but that didn't work either.

Indeed, i cannot even transfer files within my own phone's file directory. I'm using root Explorer. I've toggled and made the file system read-write. I tried to change file folder permissions, and that failed.

Any advice Xda family? I have the proper drives installed.

Apologies in advance if my verbiage isn't accurate technically. I'm pretty good with android but by no means an expert.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonarMonkey:
File Transfers

I'm not really sure as to why you'd have problems moving files within your phones internal storage, however I do have a solution (work around, really) to your MTP problem, as long as you have ADB working.

I also never got MTP working so I just use a file manager to check the path to the folder I want from my phone to my computer, and then use the command:

adb pull /path/to/folder/on/phone /path/to/destination/on/computer

And if I want to put something from my computer on my phone, I do the opposite command:

adb push /path/to/file/on/computer /path/to/destination/on/phone

Additionally, if you really need to move files around on your phone, you can use:

adb shell
su
mv /path/to/file /path/to/destination

Hope that helps!
