Hey all,
So I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP installed, updated to v6.6 the safe way, and converted to non-Prime from Prime. Before converting, I made a nandroid backup. Once the phone was all set up with the sim and SD Card in, I used MixPlorer to move the entire TWRP folder from the internal storage to the SD Card. It did it almost instantly, which was the first weird thing. Now I have 2 TWRP folders on my device, one on the internal storage and one on the external. Both only have .twrps in them. Also, my internal storage is reporting that I only have about 4 GB of storage remaining. I've only installed about 1 GB of apps, plus the system storage is still reporting about 4GB being taken up. So I believe I should have a lot more free storage. What I'm thinking happened is the nandroid didn't move, but is not being shown anywhere. I've tried enabling hidden items, but that only shows the .twrps.
Does anyone know where I can find my nandroid backup?

Anyone used the V to backup and restore using CWM 6.0.1.2.
When doing mine, it reduced my internal memory to 3.7 GB rather than keeping it at 8GB.
Any ideas how ti get it back to the correct size?
Regards
Does anyone know how to completely delete partitions on the internal SD using adb or something?
I just want the full amount of memory to be visible again
Cheers
My internal storage got corrupted some time ago, wiping internal sdcard in recovery did solve my problem..
Why would you like to do it in adb?
I used CWM to create a backup, when it was 'freeing up space' it resized my internal SD card to 3.71 GB (used to be 8GB).
Ive tried a format in recovery already, but the size does not change, i want to know if there is a way to look at / manage the internal SD card partitions to see what CWM has done, and then format or restore it from there.
Cheers
.. Ok so u can't fill up your internal sdcard above 3.7gb right?
idk much about partitions..
But what if u mount the internal storage as MSC mode (instead of MTP?)
Correct, the internal card is just not showing the right available space.
I have not found a way to mount the internal SD card as MSC yet, been looking, so i could possibly then use mini partition tool on it.
I remember Doomload had a way for the Xperia S, could check to see if it works for the V.
i´m not sure but i have read somewhere that only 3,7 Gb is user available

that´s in swedish can be difficult to understand but there is stated about it, i dunno if it is correct
Hmmm, i actually never noticed that, could be right all along then.. thanks for that, ill have a scout round to confirm if thats the case. Seems strange, why would 4GB be required on an SD card. Either way, at least i know it's ok now, haha.
Regards
[EDIT]
Confirmed, 3.7 available

So I bricked my phone and ended up having to FXZ to the OTA JB update. Once I did I found that the internal memory just isnt there. There is still 4GB for the apps but no storage and backup will not work because it can not find internal storage. It also will not show up on my computer like normal. How do I get it to show back up?
thecodydavis was able to format his internal storage, after so many reboots, the phone ask him to reformat the storage space. And I believe reformat it will lose all the data in the storage, but you will have internal storage back.

I have the same problem except I need to recover the data. I am still trying to make an image of /dev/block/mmcblk1p26 (storage memory block) and hopefully data recovery tool works on the image.
Thanks! Pretty much what happened! Problem solved!
I have recently upgraded to MM on my H811. I found out that LG has disabled the feature to mount SD cards as internal storage. OK that sucks but I have lots of space for my other media. I am having nothing but problems. Titanium Backup seems to fail when I set the backup folder to the SD. Quickpic, which I have used for ages keeps giving me this message when I try to delete or modify camera images that are on the SD card. For the record, Quickpic permissions are set to for it to access storage.

I was making twrp backups to ext SD card. But it won't restore the same twrp backup from ext SD. Wtf?
For now, I went back to 5.1. Too many other problems all solved now that I am back on 5.1 Maybe when we get a few updates in I will try again.

Yes, you can use it. The short answer is that adopted storage is not an optimal solution, but it can work just fine if you set it up the right way. Which Honor 4x variant do you have, btw? What I write now is valid for the Che2-L11.
Many people think that adopted storage is the same as mounting an extra partition which Android will then use in the most rational way. This is not correct. Developers of Android decided to not use the card for essential files, so when you add adopted storage, Android will still install some parts of each app on your internal storage. Also, some developers of apps have not made their apps ready for adopted storage, and they will install on internal.
For this reason, your internal storage will continue to be filled up with new files even after you have added adopted storage, and might approach 100%, so your phone will tell you there is no more space left for installing new apps. All the while your card still has plenty of space.
But don't worry, you can avoid such a scenario if you do prepare your phone a little.
To get the best possible result, I recommend that you wipe your phone and do a fresh install of EMUI. You need to unlock the bootloader, set the USB developer option, install TWRP, and then flash the firmware the normal way. (This is quite complicated procedure, you should study how to do this yourself.) After that, put an SD card into the phone, and it should be a card that doesn't contain anything important so you can format it. Follow the instructions for adopted storage, which will format your SD card. EMUI will have problems if you use all 100% of the card as adopted, so choose the option mixed 50. The SD card must be minimum class 10 speed for apps to work normally.
Then you should root your phone, and install Root Essentials. Then set the option for "install apps on SD card". After that, your phone will try to install all new apps on the SD card on the adopted storage. You will probably be using around 75% of your internal storage, and might reach 85%, but you can continue adding a lot of apps before you get a problem. I have installed 30+ apps and am using 82% of internal storage. Good luck. :good:

To answer your question, EMUI doesn't support adaptable storage out of the box.

Adopted Storage? Nope.
Do you even checked the Settings > Storage menu? You can pick either use internal (its small) or the microsd (Im maxed out at 128gb, anybody tried 256gb?)
Or get root, and use Apps2SD. Keep going and install as many apks as you want.
U can try adopted storage . Check if this feature is available in storage menu
Hi, since I bought this phone, I put on it my main google account, and casually, my old phone had turned on shared internal storage (when you fuse the internal storage with a micro SD card), probably, better recognized as f2fs. Now, it seems like google, will backup and restore the name of your internal storage, and, I don't have a microSD card on my mi 9 lite, but the name of the internal storage, is "Shared Internal Storage". Does anyone know a way to change the partition name again? Thx
regards
