As you may all know Samsung disabled the Adoptable storage function in the Tab S and Tab S2. Even the well known S7 hack doesn't work on the Tab S.
Well now it's back...
Thanks to some legwork (no pun intended) by @longshanks197 we now have a workable solution.
I have created this patch to fix the issue by patching the boot image and replacing sm.jar in system.
This will enable the adoptable storage feature in Settings>Storage
NOTE: as yet this is untested on the S2 but should work as it does on the Tab S. Someone please report back with info.
I advise making a backup with TWRP before proceeding.
INSTALL:
Copy the zip below to your device then install with TWRP.

For information how to enable adoptable storage see the guide below:

This enables it natively in settings.

Once installed, did you tap on the card in the STORAGE section where it says "corrupt"? Or did you try a new card? I've tried with a 128gb (which was already in my device as a first test) and a 64gb which I am currently using.
Yes, i tapped on the card in the storage section.it doesn't says corrupt. My card was already in my device as mobile storage before flashing this patch. When i click on my sd card, i have two options: unmount and format. When i click on format it says: format as mobile storage. Sorry for my bad english my device is in french and i don't speak english very well

I want to use the feature that allows the SD card to be used as Internal storage rather than Portable storage. When I go to Settings-Storage there are no 3 bar, "settings" to allow me to chose to change my current SD card to act as Internal storage. It only Identifies it as Portable storage. It does the same thing when I put in a new SD card. I have a second Galaxy S5 that does exactly the same time so it would appear that the Verizon S5 doesn't support that feature of Marshmallow. Any suggestions?

Samsung removed Adopted Storage because they were too lazy to make it work.
The trick to make it work on the S7 does work on the S5.
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Instead of the : separator I had to use , as the separator to match what I saw in the responses to adb commands.
use the same character you see between the disk numbers after you execute the "sm list-disks" command.
Adoptable Storage Hack Not Working
My son and I each have a 16GB Samsung Galaxy S5, and have followed the procedure listed in Paul O'Brien's article for the S7. Neither of us saw any errors, but it is apparent that the S5 is not using the newly-prepared SD card. My son was getting low memory warnings, which prompted him to try this out. The problem is that he is still getting the warnings after setting up a fast 32GB SD card. Has anyone had the same experience? Has anyone solved the problem?

To be clear before I try this (sorry if this is a stupid question), would you replace both : with , ?
Like this: 'sm partition disk,179,160 private'
OR just the : in the ratio itself

I was having the same issue. Then, in the comments of the linked article I found the following step, which worked for me:
After following the steps to set it to private: Settings > Storage > SD card > More. Migrate your data
That seemed to do the trick for me. It now shows tons of storage even when plugged into my PC. So far so good. I'll report back if I run into any issues with it.

Followed all the steps for my GS5. I thought it was a dud at first, until I realized that I forgot to replace the : with a komma. Worked like a charm! Verizon be damned! Good luck.
My app downloads are still being saved to the phone internal storage, not the adopted storage on the SD card. Shouldn't have to migrate data do SD if S5 supports adoptable storage. Anyone know a workaround or a solution. Thanks.
After following all of the steps with ADB, it seems like I'm successful, but when I reboot, my new, formatted, working SD card (Lexar MicroSDHC 633x 32GB) comes up as corrupt. Any ideas?
(I tried using Root essentials too -tried both methods 4 or 5 times... but no dice)
For those of you that got adoptable storage working - what ROM are you on. I'm trying to figure out if Touchwiz is what's blocking it for me - do you have to be on a CM13 build?
@Nova5 ? @[email protected] ? @kuyankee ? @Mortis13 ?
Thanks!
To make it work on the s5 you need adb, connect the phone by USB and issue the commands through adb on the desktop. Samsung hid the option from the gui.

@Nova5 - thanks. But as I mentioned in the previous post, I've tried it on adb on the desktop. Looks/acts like it works, but when I reboot, the SD card shows up as corrupted. Everything I've read seems like it SHOULD be able to work, but I'm running into a dead end with every tip I get.
Have you done it and gotten it to work? What ROM are you on? What SD card are you using?
(Those are the only variables I can think of that would be causing me a problem.)
Im running my stock rom, non-rooted VZW S5 with it, used the ADB commands, many reboots. No problems. You do have to ignore the bizarre memory count in the Storage settings. When Samsung removed the UI for Adoptable, they also prevented it from properly calculating it. It works, but it just counts wrong. I used a 128Gig Silicon Power Ultra1 class card. Did a 25/75 split so that I have a decent sized user accessible space.
"sm partition disk:179,160 mixed 25"
Was the command I used (change numbers to match your discovered disk numbers) the 25 is what percentage you want to give to adopted internal memory.
Running fine and has been since I posted on June 3rd. Start with a totally blank card, no partitions at all. get into developer settings, enable USB debugging, use ADB, connect, issue command. Wait while it processes. Sometimes its seconds, sometimes minutes. If you're using a custom rom, that could be the problem. Samsung half crippled it, but it still works
Is link2sd still not working with marshmallow? Not being affable to really move apps to the adoptable storage was really killing me, had to downgrade to 5.0

If the phone is rooted, I believe there is an app that you can install that will set it up for you. Otherwise you have to enter some commands using ADB shell.
I used this guide to get mine going. Don't forget to migrate data when you are done!

You can try this.
Please ensure to make a backup of your boot and system partition with twrp before installing.
Install the zip below with twrp then reboot.
Go to settings>storage then tap the sdcard.
You should see the adoptable storage options.

Don't worry about the combined incorrect storage capacity. It seems to common on all Samsung devices. Just pay attention to the individual storage capacity of internal and external which will be correct.
To make sure you are using the external Sdcard as default location tap the sd card and choose migrate data.
Hi ashyx,
I think I went through all the required steps:
- installed TWRP on my SM-A510F
- backed up system+boot partitions
- and finally installed the "adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx_13916.zip" ZIP through TWRP.
However, once I rebooted, contrary to popeye331, I did NOT have any more options after I went to "Settings > Storage > SDCard" . Only "Format" and "Unmount" were shown, and after I chose "Format" it only offered me to format it as portable storage. After that was completed, I did NOT have a "New SD Card detected" notification as reported by popeye331.
Have I missed sopmething? Was I supposed to root my device by installing SuperSU via TWRP with your custom "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip" file??
I hope you can help me as this is driving me nuts ... I wish I bought the HTC One A9 instead of the Galaxy A5 2016 now, I didn't know Samsung was the "Apple" equivalent in the Android ecosystem...
Thanks in advance,
Laurent
PROBLEM SOLVED !! Needed to disable Zip signature verification in TWRP !!
Ok, my bad, problem identified and solved !!!
I did not actually pay enough attention to the log messages during installation of the "adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx_13916.zip" file through TWRP...
It did display an error message in red stating "Zip signature verification failed", and aborted installation tight after that, but somehow I missed it, rebooted thinking installation had succeeded, and didn't understand why it didn't work...
I only realised my mistake while going through the install procedure a second time. When I noticed the error message I thought at first the Zip might be corrupted, then I Googled the error message and I got the explanation:
Before installing this Zip file, you MUST TURN OFF the "Zip verification" option in TWRP !!!
Once I did that and attempted the installation again, the process went smoothly and succeeded, and after reboot I proceeded exactly as popeye331 explained, the process being actually a bit strange:
You must first format the SD card, but when you first format it you are only presented with the option to format it as portable storage.
HOWEVER, ONCE the formatting has gone through, you do indeed see a notification about a new SD Card being detected, and if you open this notification you are prompted to format the SD card either as portable storage or as internal storage... SO you just have to opt for the latter, and after the card is configured as internal storage it will move some application data onto it for you.... Once this is done it is strongly advisable to reboot, because you might still see the external SD card if your phone is plugged in throuh USB... After you reboot, you will only see one unified storage labelled "Phone" (although you still see the SD card and internal storage as separated entities in Settings > Storage on the device).
Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH ashyx for your excellent work, I'm going to make a little donation to you right away to express my gratitude and thank you for all your efforts !!! :good:
Cheers,
Laurent

No. First I inserted sd card but unfortunately it was corrupted so I had to remove it. Since phone wasn't accepting the SD card it never gave me option to set it as internal or portable storage. Internal was unavailable from the beginning itself however internal storage is accessible in Stock, beta 5 firmware . I also tried to re flash but no success.

Bcoz.... Flashing a ROM means install a new OS on the system(device). It format partitions and install whole OS on it.

Hi,
I faced the same problem as you.
The solution that worked for me is...
You can set up the device's internal in settings-->Storage and USB
For the Card do this...
Go to the developers options and enable root access and local terminal.
Open the terminal app and type
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and hit enter. Allow root access.
Type
sm list-disks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see the disk's name i.e. SD card. If you don't see it. Format your card as FAT32 from PC first and then try.
Now type
sm set-force-adoptable true
Click to expand...

Wait for it... Now there should be a card ready to be set up in the notification bar.

I can only see the Internal memory, but I can NOT see my SD card, hence I can't copy any
files to it directly. I need to copy to the Internal memory and then move the files on the
phone, which is a quite annoying 2-step process.
I have decided to post a new thread for this, because Artas is not replying to my posts
and not even to a PM which I sent him.
PLEASE help me, as this is the only ROM which has encryption working. I have tried
Slim ROM, Phronesis, DarkLord and also VisionX (Lollipop) and none of them has
encryption working, it always fails with something I'm sooooo frustrated
Many many thanks in advance!
i would install the Samsung USB drivers .
Format the sd card .

Hello and thanks for your reply, but I am not sure, that this will solve my problems, because...
With all the ROMs - Slim, Darklord, Phronesis - when I connect the phone to the laptop,
in Windows Explorer I can see Internal Storage and next to it - SD card.
Just with the ROM of Artas - when I connect it to the laptop, I only see Internal Storage.
Isn't there some setting for this, some file that I can edit or (re)move or I don't know, just
something. How it can be that with EVERY ROM I tried, the SD card is seen on the PC,
just not with the ROM of Artas. Thank you.
P. S.: Or perhaps there is a way to take the drivers/modules responsible for SD card from
another ROM and put it in Artas' ROM ?
Your using Marshmallow, are you using your SDcard as portable or integrated storage? if you have formatted the SD as internal storage it will now be an encrypted partition only accessible by the phone itself. Connecting to desktop will only show the internal data storage. If you want direct access to SD card, format it as portable... if still not working reboot to TWRP Recovery, enable MTP and mount SD storage along with system partition, sd storage should be executable on the desktop. You can also decrypt the Marshmallow SD internal storage but its another story.
Hello jordanpa and many thanks for replying to my problem!
I should have written about this as well - I did NOT format the card as internal storage.
I am using it as emergency rescue - keeping a copy of the Slim ROM and TWRP there,
because several times it happened that the Internal storage got completely wiped and
I needed to have something to flash in order to get the phone running.
So, this is not the cause of the problem, unfortunately... Please suggest something else.
P. S.: Could that be caused by a virus/malware ??? What can I do, in order to rule out this possibility ?

Darklord and phronesis 5.1.1?.
You need to format it first time to be used on 6.0.1.

If you are regularly flashing custom ROM's and wiping system partition etc you can pretty much rule out malware or virus, especially when diagnosing function issues like reading partitions. The most vulnerable devices are those running on the same stock firmware with no anti-virus and outdated security patches.
Check the permissions for each partition, It will need to be readable for not just the phone.

Nope, I was trying Darklord and Phronesis based on Marshmallow. I have read somewhere, that encryption has been implemented much better and more secure on Marshmallow. On Lollipop I only tried VisionX which was working very well, but again it failed to encrypt my device.
About the malware/virus - this is another problem that I have on another phone. Maybe I wrote this by mistake in this thread...
In Device manager I see 2 unknown devices:
CDC Serial
SAMSUNG_Android
I tried the buttons update driver - Windows didn't find nothing.
Then I tried to uninstall the driver and replug the phone - after a while it gave me:
The driver software was not successfully installed
What can be done, please advise on how this can be solved ? Thanks!

Maybe you'll turn out right in the end. Could you please provide a link to the drivers ?
Many thanks!

Yep, manual, click on the button Have disk, etc. But it's necessary to have (as far as I remember correctly) an .inf file and 1 or more .dll files. Where do I get those ones from ?
Thank you!
So i would like to expand my internal storage by using a micro sd card but iv read that smasung does not support this on thier devices (no idea why they wont ) so are there any custom roms that will "unlock" this feature or gain access to this? thanks in advance
ashyx made an adoptable storage enabler for any samsung device
flash it through TWRP and format your card - there should be an option for internal storage
