This is a adoptable storage guide for samsung stock rom with a modified plugin from Root Essentials.

1. Format data in TWRP

2. Wipe everyhting in TWRP (including external sdcard)

3. Boot to BL with Vol down + home button and power button

4. Flash Samsung Firmware over Odin (uncheck reboot)

5. Reboot to bootloader from bootoader, otherwise twrp will not flash (vol down + home button and power button)

6. Press reset on odin and uncheck reboot again

7. Select twrp md5 on ap flash and flash it

8. Force restart on bootlaoder with Vol down + home button and power button (check step 9 before you do 8)

9. Right after the dispaly goes black instantly press Vol up + home button and power button to get into TWRP

10. Flash magisk and after this flash asplugin

11. reboot

12. After you set everyhting up you should see the question of adoptable storage on the left upper side of display

13. You do not need to install Root Essentials

Should work for any other samsung smartphone but I don't know.

Have fun :o

Followed the guide to a T, everything seems to work and I've got Oreo, etc.

When I select to format as Internal storage it still doesn't appear as space within the Samsung Storage manager and it appears as an SD card, this doesn't seem to be right to me. Some apps seem to then install onto Storage and some seem to only install onto internal, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
You don't need to install root essentials anyway if you use the original patch that this plugin was taken from.

After this procedure I am now trying to use ADB to format sd card half for external half for internal storage.

However, now after typing "sm list-disks" all I get is "Killed", instead of the disk name. What's up with that?

It was working before this whole process, just that the "sm partition" command did not actually format anything.

I tried this also with "su" enabled through Magisk, it did not help, still getting "Killed"
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] kickflipcando:
If you can,

1. Format sd card

2. Download root essentials

3. Format it half and half from there

Hope that helped.:good:

This works well.... but: Different apps are crashing now. I tried everything... delete cach, re-install apps, wike cache in TWRP, re-flash the entire phone (then root, then adoptable storage). Now I have a new sd card in.... a sandisk extrem pro which is opptimized for apps (iops), so this card is an a2 card (4000 iops read, 2000 iops write) which schould be fast enough.... but apps are still crashing.

Any idea? 16 GB is to low to run every app on the phone, I need the adoptable storage.

i dont understand what is this for. adoptable storage? so it mean, you can move android apps data to external sd card? correct me if im wrong, but i can also do that on stock rom, just go to developer option and scroll to the bottom part of dev option, and you will see option to move apps to exteranal sd.

but, again, correct me if im wrong for the function of adoptable storage itself

So i have a samsung s8 G950F Rooted running android 7.0, But im having lots of troubles, apps crashing etc etc, so i want to factory reset, unroot and then upate to 8.0 and then root again. so my questions are

1. what is the best method of backing up everything ? like apps positions, apps data, photos, videos, and contacts , so basically a full backup?

2. how to properly unroot My device?

3. how to restore my full backup?

any help is appreciated, thank you, i looked around, but all the posts are from 4-5 years ago, so id like to know the most recent and advanced way :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZainHikary:
Bump
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StonebridgeGr:
Hello, i am gonna answer your questions one by one

1. by apps positions if you mean the apps on the screens of the android then they are gonna moved after format, even after restore your backup. second you are gonna need titanium backup from playstore. Since you have root download lucky patcher from your browser or from your pc and patch the titanium backup you just downloaded from PlayStore .. and then select backup your apps, i suggest you to backup the on a usb with the adapter from the box of your phone , or on a sd card, be carefull do not wipe them . the contacts you can go to the Contacts apps and on the settings back them up to your Sd Card or to your Usb Otg.. Unless if you have them moved on your Sim Card then no need to backup them

..

Your videos and your other personal data move them all from the internal storage to your Usb or to Sd card too ..

2. you dont need to unroot your device to update your device, which methods are you gonna use to upgrade your phone? firmware from odin ? You are gonna need to root your device after the update then .

3. if you use titanium backup then you are gonna find the restore option on the app . your personal data from your usb or sd you are need to move them on your internal storage , and restore the contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Extreemator:
Get titanium, backup needed apps on external sd. Instal twrp through odin, insall custom rom like alexega or sac (wipe system and data before or some roms already offer this options).

Later restore backups of needed apps through titanium. All files on sd card/s will remain after new rom installation (if you are unsure backup your media files to computer), just dont wipe media/internal sd. Forget about restoring full backup, if you have a lot of rubbish code flowing around you need get rid of it, just back up apps with data that are important. That's how you should do it.

Ps: Ideally everyone should format data once 3 months and restore backups of needed apps later, it's the only way to keep it in excellent working condition

Also while we are at it!

What's the difference between wipe and format

So I got the oem lock thing and i have to wait 7 days etc

So when I get the poem unlock I'll be rooting my device

But to install tarp and magisk I have to "wipe" data

What exactly will be wiped?

My pictures and videos or apps or what exactly so I know before rooting
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Extreemator:
It's same but it very differnt. it's confusing. Format data in this case applies to full data wipe. While if you go to twrp wipe menu and choose to wipe data, it won't touch media (folder with all user files) folder in data. While format will erase all patrition and reformat it.

All will be deleted, since it's full data wipe with media. Just data wipe without media deletes just apps. You won't need to install magisk or su separately if you install custom rom like i mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ZainHikary:
Well I ended up installing the official rom for oreo I'm waiting for oem unlock soon, I wanna install twrp and root using magisk, but one of the requirement is to "wipe" in this case it's just the apps? I'm gonna backup just in case anyway! But I want to make sure
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Extreemator:
All will be deleted no reason to make surerer. I hope you understood titanium part, although i recommend it only if you have important apps, with data that i use (i have only a few), otherwise throw them out.

Then after you installl, you can make full backup of data through twrp. I usually do it after a week i installed rom i choose, and if i install a lot of apps i no longer need, and overall android gets slower, i just restore this back up and always have os that is 1 week old without any setting up to do. After just a couple of apps i restore recent data to them with titanium. If you had this with phone it becomes problematic as you said, i suggest you to remember how to do it.

I have a brand new sealed Samsung S9 SM-G960F/DS which is most probably Exynos variant however I couldn't find OEM Unlock after activating the developer tools. I've googled that and was surprised that this is a recent Samsung policy and as mentioned by most users they've waited more than 7 days to see OEM Unlock so they can root the device. Any one was able to find an alternative or workaround solution instead of waiting 7 days since I don't have that much time to wait I need to root urgently before a birthday.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tomiga:
The combination ROM will allow you to "OEM unlock" your device, but the RMM prenormal state will prevent you from flashing anything custom. I tried this when I first got my S9.

You need to wait the 7 days on stock in order to be able to actually bootloader unlock your device. Make sure to keep a SIM card in, connect a Samsung and Google account, and don't power it off. There is no workaround for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] TheUndertaker21:
that's me LOL

if we can get it to boot up on s9/ plus

then the oem lock thing wouldn't be an issue
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Wonder if it was because the combination ROM firmware is older than the current on the device

Did it factory reset after the flash? If not that might be causing the bootloop, or if the bootloader version is older on combination

Bootloader version 1 for both yours and the comb'n firmware so doesn't seem to be that

yeah i factory reset it after still nada

weird though

i can wait since i have youtube vanced, everything i always used besides titanium
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Yea I used Vanced too, much better than the original YT app

I always did full TWRP nandroid backups rather than TiBu, but it's a good app

Not really impressed with the lengths Samsung are going to to prevent us (the phone OWNERS) from doing what we want with OUR own phones tbh

There was a workaround to update system apps with Nougat, literally no harm done to Samsung with us doing that but they still patched it in Oreo

Starting to feel more like an iPhone than an Android, wasn't the whole point of Android that it was basically open and unlocked for us to play with?

Thing is though, Samsung make one of the best android devices available and they know locking it down isn't going to hurt their sales

[Android Head-Units] eldite:
Hi,

I have an android head unit (rk3066), which has an option to shutdown between 30 seconds to 2 hours after the ACC has been turned off. This is great, but I would really like this to be 24 hours, so that I don't have to wait for it to boot every time I get in the car.

Surely this is a setting stored in a file somewhere that can be edited? I already have root access, so just need to find it and change it? - does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be done?

Another option would just be for it to stay on permanently - never turn off, just stay in sleep mode, I would be fine with that too - but I can't find an app or setting that would prevent shutdowns either. An idea of this would be great too.

Regards,

Henry
[Android Head-Units] eldite:
Polite bump :)
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Be careful in what you wish (stay on permanently). Your head unit is not a phone. The fact that it wants to shut down is most probably because the MCU firmware can't switch off the amplifier. It means that the unit will drain 40 - 100 mA draining your battery in 20 -70 hours, even though the Android part might be in sleep mode.

I do not know your unit, but it could as well be a property being set, like many of these units do with their settings. So go into a terminal app and execute the command "getprop > /sdcard/getprop.txt" and check what is written to the file. Maybe it contains some useful info. Note that the written text file will contain unix linefeeds so if you are a windows user, you can't use notepad. Use notepad++ or so.
[Android Head-Units] ramnkc:
We understand the consequences but is there anyway for us to set that? An apk? This option had been taken out and we can't set it... if you know how or at least know any dev which is working on this, please point us to him.

Usually for that the head units have a sleep mode which sets the hu in a hybernation mode with less energy consumption.

Yes, I know, the problem is the maximum standby time is just 1 hour which is not much. I need more, like 1 or even 2 days. And I don't care about battery drainage.
