Hey there, how was doing? This is Kali from Techfanciers. So, in this video we will seeing how to convert or swap our sd card as internal memory on ASUS Zenfone Lite L1, Live L1 and Live L2. So Lets get started.
Useful Links:
Minimal ADB Fastboot Portable: tinyurl.com/yx...
Steps to achieve:
Here's the tutorial :
• Install the ADB & Fastboot first, after the download finished, open the file named "cmd-here.exe"
• Type "adb shell" then enter.
• Type "sm list-disks" then enter.
• Then the words "disk: xxx,xx" will appear. Example "disk:179,64" will appear.
• Then type "sm disk partition: xxx,xx private" xxx,xx is replaced according to the number that appears on your device, on my device the number is 179,64. Then i type "sm partition disk:179,64 private" then hit enter.
adb
TO ACTIVATE:
Now open the Android Setting-Storage-SD Card-click the triple dot icon in the upper right corner-change type of storage-Use As Internal Storage-then hit Next (this process will format the SD card and takes about 10 minutes and also makes the SD card read-only on the device where the SD card is formatted.
TO RESTORE:
To restore the SD card as before, just format it as portable storage. After it's finished, we can now move the application installation to the SD card.
ADDITIONAL, MAY IT HELPS:
If the tutorial above shows that the SD card will become fully internal memory, it can't create files, photos and more. Now if you want to make it can create files, photos, music, videos and more do this: When in the section type "sm partition disk:xxx.xx", example you want to use 75% for portable storage, then type like this: "sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 75". The addition of "mixed 75" means: we use 75% for portable storage (photos, music, files, etc.), 25% for internal (application and data). You can set the mixed percentage as you need, example again: if you want to use 50% of SD card is for internal and 50% for portable, type "sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50" [50% for portable (photos, music, files, etc) and 50% for internal (applications)].

I got the error in the end, and my internal storage shows as before, but it works. Apps are getting downloaded and installed to the SD card. Thanks a million.
It only makes your internal and sd card merge together but nothing really happens like mine
Awesome now I get the option to change internal storage to sd/card from...Settings>..Apps on Samsung A01 also when I download an app It downloads straight to sd/card thanks for the video
@@youtubegoodvibes3013 I just followed along with the video and the option to do it was there after i take out sd card and put back in go to settings then Apps click on any app then click storage there It gave me option saying (change) it only appeared after i followed the steps in video hope that helps
I heard that making a sd card work like this makes the phone very slow and damages the sd card by trying to make it work faster.They suggested me to stick to what I have or by doing this I might lose this too.I'm in a dilemma😂😇
I have 8 GB storage SD card .when i format as internal the SD card my internal storage increases but when i downloading any game or app from playstore it always showing need storage to download this app
The only thing this did is make my sd card unreadable to my phone
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
omgg same, do u know how to fix it ??????
@@S41N7 take it out, and put it back in
@@gig3056 did that, no luck.
Bro, it might be because of the file system crash. Just Put the card in PC and then delete the partition and recreate it using Mini Tool partition or somthing any tool similar to that.
Confirmed Works on LG V60, after doing so,the capacity not gonna be increased and still use Internal defaultly, but open Settings-Apps and choose that app (PUBG) and select storage, the SD Card Showed up and able to move it up to SD Card, Works like Charm but tricky and not adding the capacity (on setting), but showed on Partition List as F2FS ,could be really helpful because ii'am planning to buy an 512GB MicroSD
Finally i found this masterpeice video
Is there any disadvantages /side effects of doing this with security of device ?
I got this error then my phone can't detect the sd card anymore im using Vivo y53.

ON MY ASUS L1 THE LAST COMMAND WAS

Please note it a little bit different from yours.
Apart this, guide very useful. Thank you!!!
Thanks ☺️
Did it worked in your asus phone ?
Will it work in my Asus zenfone max pro M1 ?

mine encountered
"Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Thread Binder_E gave up waiting for partitionPrivate after 180000ms"
after set partition disk:xxx,xx private
in my case it was set partition disk:179,64 private
My phone: Sony Xperia Z5 (SO-01H)
what will happen if i unmount my sd card? will it still be the same when i mount my sd card again?
It should be there when you mount.
Thanks bro, it works on my Asus Live L2 running Android 8.0 Oreo 👍

man you're the best definitely subscribing
I tried your method but still it doesn't work :
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Dude i have the same issue did you manage to do it? if you did how??
Will this work on samsung galaxy tab a7
My vivo y71 it does not work a notification comes system ui preparing sd card checking errors
Works on my Zenfone5Z 64G Android 10 without root, you safe my day!
couldnt find "sm"
This actually works .... very simple .... Thanks for the tutorial👍👍👍👍
I have a redmi 7a, and I formatted my 32 gb sd as internal directly from xiaomi ui. Now I can see internal memory has increased. But the issue is the system still flashes "storage space running out". It is not allocating items to sd card automatically and I'm also unable to transfer files to sd card myself as I don't see sd card anymore. Do you have a solution for this?
Bro how you do that can you tell me that how you format sd card as internal storage
same problem , i format my sd card as internal , my device storage is increase but in files still the same and i cant see my sd card , i cant trasfer any data
i got the same problem Did u get tru?
Go to developers option and go in last then enable options says allow app to move/install on sdcard..
Now go to settings,apps and move every app which u installed on sdcard to free some storage...
Doesn't work for me
when i type sm list-disks there said not found. is there anything wrong?
maybe problem with adb driver
THANK YOU! YOU'VE SAVED ME
this is was a great video! this work on me Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2!
Good to know!
Thank bro it works. what a great lesson
You have to restart your phone or tablet for the changes to make effect.
Can you make a tutorial on how to convert SD card on Asus Zenfone 4 max using bugjaeger because my phone can't use SD card as internal storage only portable storage 🙏🙏🙏
Gives an error at the last stage (Error= Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException) pls help
same
I'm having a problem with my sd card. Sometimes it shows no external storage is mount and file manager keeps crashing. What could be the issue?
Which file manager are u using ? ROM ? and Memory card details.
@@TechFanciers everything stock, SanDisk 32gb sd card
is it actually work ? i think it may occurs speed down of your phone if it is possible. is it?
hi nice tut, can this method work with Samsung devices on android 9.0 pie?
Nope
you are a life saver. thank you so much
@Im SadFaceFun moto e2 (2015), it worked for like a month, i transfered a bunch of apps they all run, a bit slower than usual but they worked. couple days ago apps on the sd stoped, and had to move them to the internal storage to launch them.
Why is the internal storage is still the same? Yes, it looks like the internal and SD Card are merged because you can see it in your file manager but when you download apps that needed to be installed in internal storage , the internal storage is still full. So how come the internal storage become larger than before?
The same with you, thats my problem..
I want to expand my 32gb to 64gb, or 128gb .
@@jacquesxandersp.burgos1713 i've surfed to XDA developer forum and another tutorial related to this, and found out that it actually works even though my sd card isn't detected by the phone anymore! it means it had merged with the internal storage and the number showed it inaccurately, sticking to the original one, and it's a normal case, they said. here's a tips from me, change the "sm partition disk:xxx private" into "sm partition disk:xxx mixed yy". yy = how many percent you want your sd card to be partitioned and not merged with internal storage. like example, my sd card is 64 gb and i used "sm partition disk:xx mixed 40" because i want 40% of it to be a portable one and can be the place i save some file visibly. the 60% that merged with the internal storage is no longer visible so it's hard when i wanted to restore the file in it before. i used the 40% of 64 gb sd card for that. my phone has 32 gb storage and it has been used for 24 gb (after i deleted some apps for this purpose, it was used around 28-29 gb before). i downloaded the apps again and the storage that has been used doesn't change, it sticks to 24 gb! i checked the app through Link2SD and it was said that the apps that i redownload after doing this were stored in the sd card! i hope this can be helpful for those who's stuck after the video!
Can u plz do a phonix 5 version it will be very appreciated
Thanks! It worked for me.
My format as internal not showing???what to do😔😔
It works in some device, some won't. Thats the drawback!
Hi I tried all the process with my s20 ultra and an sd card 512gb samsung evo select and even if the cmd was identical it didn't change anything, can u help me?
Does this work on Huawei Y6 Pro 2019?
Never tried. Give it a try.
Hello my sd card is 32GB and after the ADB commands it became 16GB free because i partitioned 50percent which is good, but my internal remains 660MB free (same as before).?? why?? pls help ASUS X00R
yea same like mine
H I have the following issue. The ADB commands run well, but when I restart my phone I have a message saying "card corrupted" and of course it doesn't merge. Is there a solution ?
Check card's filesystem. It should be FAT32. Insert ur sd in Cardreader, put into PC, In properties you can find it. If it shows some other Filesystem, format it to FAT32. It might fix the problem.
@@TechFanciers Hi, thanks for fast reply. I have tried with FAT32 but I still have the "card corrupted" issue.
After doing this, the device doesn't let me install new apps. Does someone know what is happening?
work perfectly thank alot bro!!!
Nothing happened bro..☹ . But my internal storage now shows in PC as 10 GB .☹. (Before it shown 16 GB) My device is Samsung galaxy j7 core 2017
My SD damaged while trying how to read sd card again? It disappeared 😬
Check the partition in Disk Manager in windows or use minitool partition. Just delete the sdcard and allocated to FS again. Everything will be fine!
man i hate coding but i will work through it for my new phone
Will this also work for oppo?
Never tried bro
Hi.. what if it gives an error.. on the sm partition disk:179,64 private?
Does this require a rooted smartphone?
No

Your a life saver. Just one problem tho. What happens if it says sd card corrupted when doing the last step? Does it mean i need a new sd card or it just my phone?

Just format your SD Card.
