I used adoptable storage with adb shell. It worked fine, after that I have an internal memory from 16 Go to around 16+48=64 go and 16 on external sd (partition 66%) . But when I tried to add apps over 16 go I have the message: You have not enough memory remaining to install this app. So even if I have 64 go indicated as internal memory I can't go over the real 16 go. Did you have this problem?

I have a samsung tab a6 (2016) sm-t580.

So, a better solution. Because the option to adoptable store don't appear in store settings. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ashyx:
Format sd card as portable storage first. Reboot, look out for notification in status bar. If still doesn't appear, reinsert sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mprocte1:
For those who have followed the adb instructions, and found that items continue to get installed on the Internal Storage, I found that the adb 'sm partition ...' instructions alone isn't enough. Once you've rebooted the device, you need to go into Settings -> Storage, select the SD card, then from the 'MORE' menu in the top right, select 'Migrate Data'. Once this is completed, my Internal Storage usage had gone down, and my SD card usage had gone up. From then on, when I installed apps or downloaded content within them, only the SD card usage increased.

I guess the patch, installed via TWRP, triggers the notification on boot to migrate to the SD card, whereas the adb 'sm partition ....' method doesn't result in this and has to be manually forced through the settings menu as mentioned above. Anyway, caught me out for a while, and thought it might be useful info for others.

BTW ... my device is a SM-T580.

I suggest you use a utility to remove the partitions on the card then put it in the device and reboot.

It should ask to set up the card

Edit 1: Removed because questioner isn't willing.

Edit 2: Addendum:

I'm going to try this on a Tab S3 once I can find the appropriate card for it.

Edit 3:

That card has a fast read, but slow write.

You might want to see some data of fast cards. UHS-1 U3 would be a faster card than a UHS-1 U1, however, it also helps to have data since not all cards have the same controller (so even a U3 card can potentially be slow). Here are some benchmarks for some fast cards. Ideally for adoptable storage, you'd want a card with equally fast read and write. Cards are typically marketed by fastest sequential read, few can actually give what they advertise (and fewer can have it both ways).

Don't go by reviews. Go by reviews that show actual data.

How to install TWRP without root?

I've got a SM-P580 and tried the adb method and nothing happened when I entered the "partition...." command. It just blinked back to a new command line. Tried rebooting and still nothing.

So I am now trying the patch method with TWRP. Getting stuck on the TWRP install. Tried once following these instructions https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016spen.html (using the ODIN method) and got a "failed" in ODIN.

So then found these instructions that look much more complete https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/newbie-friendly-twrp-root-tab-tablets-t3552509

However, these instructions assume you want to root your device and install a new ROM. I want to install TWRP, but don't want to root my device. I'm wondering if the "root" step is the one where you enable "OEM unlock".

Can anyone confirm that? Anyone have TWRP install instructions that definitely do not root your device? Thx in advance!

Will It Work On Samsung J7 Prime Rooted

Will It Work If I Flash This Adoptable Storage Enabler On My Rooted Samsung J7 Prime, Running Custom Rom Enigma v2.9.2 Based On S6 And S8 With Custom Kernel (Lazer Kernel)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gduren:
Ok I stopped at step 5c in the second set of instructions above and was able to install twrp and flash the patch. Thx for the patch!

Problem I'm having now is that my tablet keeps showing storage full and won't let me update apps. When I go into the file manager program it shows that all files are on "device storage" and there's no separate "SD Card" anymore, so it appears that patch worked. The storage screen in settings still shows internal storage and SD card as separate though with internal storage maxed out at 16GB. Any idea how I can get it to save stuff to the SD card portion of "internal storage"? Thx!

Adoptable storage for SM-P555 model

I tried this on SM-T350, but Adoptable storage is not reliable, so I went to Apps2sd
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] sbinkhalid:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] kamycrs:
Thanks for your instructions! one question that came into my mind! what happens if you update to nougat from the settings on the tablet?? Also, how about If you update to nougat manually through twrp do you lose adoptable storage and have to do it all over again? Thanks,

**Edit: So I managed to update to Nougat from Marshmallow via Smart Switch on PC, and I can confirm that your adoptable storage would remain the same if you use this method which is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] KazDeth:
Root is required. But if you have a samsung, those are impossible to brick because you can always go to download mode to restore factory firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] gduren:
Thx, I've tried selecting "migrate data" multiple times now. One or two times it got about 30% of the way through then disappeared and I had a scare when it basically said I had no files on my tablet anymore when using the "My Files" file manager. A restart fixed the "no files" problem. But now whenever I select "migrate data" it goes to the migrate green border screen for a few seconds then it disappears and a dialog box comes up that says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". I've done multiple restarts and just get the "settings has stopped" message every time I try to migrate.

The SD card still does not show separately up using the "My Files" app, it just says "Device Storage", so I've been using that to validate that the patch is working, but I'm at a loss for what to try next in the "Storage" part of the Settings menu. I've been able to save files into folders in the "Device Storage" using a USB connection from my computer without issue, just get a storage full warning popping up all the time and get stopped when I try to install more apps. Anyone have any ideas? Seems like I'm part way there, but not sure what to try to get the rest of the way there. Thx.

will this patch work on samsung j2 prime (g532g dual sim)? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] digiphotos:
Hello,

I am using the T580 with Nougat. I installed the patch with TWRP.

In Android, I could not format the memory as internal (only format as external SD was possible - as before).

After that, I followed the instructions under this link:

http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/

I applied the ADB command and the SD card was correctly formatted as internal. In Android, I could now migrate data.

Maybe it worked due to the patch which I installed before. Maybe, it would have worked anyway.

However, my Micro SD Card is now formatted as internal and I am happy.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] robertzas:

Just make sure you do the commands via adb shell, not the device terminal. It will not work on the device via terminal emulator.

Just wanted to let you know that this does NOT work on a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (T580) with Android 7 and without root access.

Commands are successful. Partition command is finished in only few seconds. SD card is still shown as portable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] MADpalace:
I tried both the script and the manual messages, but it was not successful for my Tab A 10.1 (T580) with Android 7.

Even not when I rooted the device (which also failed with the official firmware).

Then I had to flash new software, which I choose a custom rom.

The custom rom had root access, but still no luck in the manual messages and/or the script.

But I was able to adapt the SD card by using the tool Root Essentials.

It as an option in the menu to format SD card as internal memory.

You can't change the size of the system partition. It's a fixed size.

This is the bit that is still flummuxing me. I have been trying to enable this patch for months on my galaxy tab s 10.5 but I just can't figure this TWRP recovery thing out. I have rooted my device, downloaded the TWRP app which I now understand is not the right TWRP thing. Is TWRP recovery an app? A program?

Update: So i tried Flash fire but when I flashed the ZIP patch it said the following on the reboot;

Unpacking the installer...

Running the boot image patcher...

- error : unable to find boot block location!

- Aborting...

Failed to patch boot image!

This worked perfectly on my mother-in-laws On5. Thank you so much!

My only concern now is what happens if she takes an OTA? Not only could it undo the patch, but wouldn't everything on it be orphaned? I could try and disable the updater, but while I have TWRP installed, I do not have SuperSU installed. I'd prefer to leave it way, since she's not tech-savvy and could potentially install/grant su to something malicious. Is there any way to disable OTAs from within TWRP, ie, by renaming an apk/file responsible for the update prompt?

Also, one thing I've noticed since the last time she updated, is the Play Store is gone. Is this a Samsung-trying-to-force-you-to-use-their-crap thing, or is it a glitch? Maybe the best solution here is to install a minimal gapps package from within TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ashyx:
You won't be able to OTA as the device is modified.

Play store should still be there, it's unlikely it was removed. I doubt you will be able to install a GAPPS package without issues.

For what region is this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Flapjack:
We're in the US, with the US T-Mobile phone. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what a POS this phone is... at least in stock forum. She barely has anything installed, with a few pictures from the camera, and she's always struggling with free space.

Play Store is nowhere to be found. Only thing there is the Samsung Store. I guess it's not an issue, as she really doesn't plan on installing anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ashyx:
Make sure there is a Google account on the device or some of the Gapps apps won't show.

Just use the app "root essentials". Very easy to use and sooner or later you will probably need it anyway because you may want to move apps to system or other things, eg xposed (stock configuration wont work properly any more for that).

When it does not work (even with root) just flash the zip of this thread beforehand. Then it should must work with the app.

Ignore stock config app for storage information, just use root essentials.
