Connect your phone to the pc and dont
activate "USB Storage" mode
1. Download the SDK from here -> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.Extract using something like WinRar
3.Copy the folder in the sdk and name it
to "android-sdk-windows" and paste it
onto the desktop.
4.Open the folder on the desktop and
open the file, SDK Manager.exe
5.Close the windows command prompt
window that opens
6.Untick all options you are prompted to
download and cancel the first download
window
,now in side menu open "available
packages" and select "SDK Platform
Android 2.2 & 2.3" and in Third party
add-ons select "LG Electronics" and click
on "Install Selected" button and let
download complete,
ensure the LG USB drivers are installed
if not
download from here -> http://www.lgforum.com/resources
Just check this video and you'll
understand what to select and
download in SDK MANAGER.EXE
(watch at 480p else its blurred)
7.Ensure on your phone, USB Debugging
is
on
Go to Settings->Applications-
>Development->USB Debugging and
ensure its ticked / on.
8.Dont activate "USB Storage" mode
9.Open windows command promt. Start
-> Run
10.Type in (without quotations ) "cmd"
The following should appear. (with your
user account instead of William - note its
"users" in windows 7, not documents and
settings)
11. Type in the following after the ">" at
each step (without quotations,and
including spaces and capital letters)
"cd desktop\android-sdk-windows
\tools" (might be "cd desktop\android-
sdk-windows\platform-tools" in windows
7 )
"adb devices" (it will show your device
id)
"adb shell"
A $ sign should pop up
now type
"pm setInstallLocation 2"
Another $ should pop up
And your done. Close everything,
disconnect phone, turn off phone and
then turn it back on again.
16. Now the phone will be set to install
all apps you install onto the SD card.
However, current apps on phone will
mostly still be stored on the internal
memory .
This process doesn't move these apps for
you .
So you must now manually move those
already installed on the phone.
To do this, go to settings / applications /
manage applications
Then you just click on an app, and the
move to SD card box should no longer be
Grey .
So you must now move all the apps you
want onto the SD Card.

today many phones are rooted but still someone will be there who does not want root for them try this :fingers-crossed:
This process is more complex than rooting the phone :banghead:

So here is a hard one: My friend's SIII fell down, display broke. And he didn't do any backup from the files on the internal memory (yeesh...!!). So how can we rescue the data? USB won't work, because you have to verify USB access by clicking the message that normally would appear on the screen after plugging it to your PC. The phone is *not* rooted.
Installing apps will be no problem because you can simply install apps logging in on Google Play with your PC's web browser. So I hope that there's a certain app in the Play Store that would i) grant access via USB/web/something without having to do any click on the phone's screen or ii) that would backup all the phone's data (or specified folders) to another location... without having to perform a single click on the phone's display.
(Guys, we're talking about his girlfriend's private pictures - so please help him! )
Thank you for helping...!
Well IMHO, he is going to be very lucky. Installing an app won't be useful. Anything that allows wireless / network access to local files on the device will require on screen set up or interaction (for security purposes).
If he somehow has USB debugging turned on, he MAY be in luck. But It is doubtful. This is a real longshot....
Firstly, download this file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/PC/sdktools-toolsonly.rar
Follow the instructions in the read me to add it to windows environment variables.
Then, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
To install all the drivers required. Run through the screens and choose your model of device and follow all the instructions for installing the device drivers. THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO HOPE USB DEBUGGING IS ENABLED
Hopefully you won't need root for this next part.... If you get this far and do need root, the toolkit can root anyway.
Then open up a command prompt (press start / windows key and type "cmd" and press enter.
in the black window type "adb shell" and press enter
type "cd /mnt/sdcard" and press enter
tpe "ls" (thats LS) and press enter
This is where you identify where the images are. I assume they are in DCIM.
type "exit" and press enter
type "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/DCIM c:\" and press enter.
This should pull all the DCIM contents to the local c: drive of the computer.
It all hinges on whether USB debugging is enabled tough so its a long shot. I really can't think of anything else.

Actually, the toolkit has a backup internal SD card option anyway so the last section is irrelevant. After installing the drivers, just go into the backup menu.
All you really need is this:

There are certain tricks to regain a couple of MB here and there, like clearing the cache that some applications use, but for those with a taste for apps and games, the phone storage limitation has been quite a nuisance. Android users with root access have been able to enjoy the Apps2SD utility, but getting it to work is a comparatively complicated process. Frozen yogurt to the rescue!
To install an app to the SD card on Android, the application itself needs to support it. In my experience though, most current apps can be moved to the external storage. However, the system installs all new applications on your device’s internal memory by default, except for those that explicitly request external installation. Luckily, it’s possible to make your Android 2.2+ phone put apps on the SD card by default instead. Here’s how:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from the attached file. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force http: in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
3. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
4. Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon (, and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.
5. In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. You’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
6. To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.

first of all i get message that the command is not recognized and it should be "pm set-install-location 2" so i do that and nothing changes.i have the lg l70 unrooted.when i "get-location..." it return 2 external but apps get installed to internal and most preinstalled apps like google apps are greyed out to move to sd.Help?
There are quite a few different apps that you wouldn't want to install there such as home launchers, widgets, and keyboards, just to name a few.
1 more
now its telling me error no space when i try to install apps from store but in settings it says there is space,like 600 mb omg
answer
To answer my own question, after setting location to 2 i can move some apps to sd but after that i need to set back to 0 to be able to install apps.Hope it helps somebody.

I've been trying to find a "solution" for having the ability to install apps to SD. I don't want to root my phone (yet).
I rooted a phone succesfully in the past, but now I'm trying to be a more "common" user.
Is there a possibility of installing a cracked or invented update that let users install apps into SD? (without rooting)
I believe that I'm in a dead end... but maybe someone has a clue on this.
Thanks.

Well there is a method to do this but its pretty long.
Steps:
1. Download Android SDK and unzip the contents to a folder.
2. Enable “USB debugging Mode” in your android device. To do this, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable ‘USB debugging’
3. Connect your device to your computer in “charge only” or similar modes but NOT in ‘USB Storage’ mode.
4. Go to the folder where you have unzipped Android SDK and navigate to to ‘sdk’ folder
5a. Windows users: Go to ‘platform-tools folder. Hold down SHIFT key and right-click anywhere in the folder. From the pop-up menu, select ‘Open command window here’. This will open up a command prompt screen.
5b. Mac users: right-click ‘platform-tools and choose [New Terminal At Folder]
6. Now, in the command prompt window, Windows users:
type: adb devices
Mac users:
type: ./adb devices
and press enter. You will see the name of the device connected at the moment.
8. Then windows users type:
adb shell
Mac users type:
./adb shell
and press enter
9. Next, type:
pm setInstallLocation 2
and press enter. (If this command fails, use this: pm set-install-location 2)
10. Done!
11. To verify, type:
pm getInstallLocation
and press enter. If you see an output ” 2 [external] ” means that the process is successful.
Now, in your device, go to settings->Applications->Manage Applications->On SD card (in some devices it may be USB Storage), and check the apps that you would like to move to your SD card. Hope this helps
Download Android SDK Link:developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Warning.!!
Some apps shouldn’t be installed to your SD card and should remain installed on the internal storage. The external storage is unavailable when your Android device is mounted on your computer, so apps that remain running all the time should be left on your internal storage. Widgets, launchers, animated wallpapers, and anything you want to use while your Android’s SD card is mounted on your computer should be left on the internal storage.
I did that yesterday but didn't change a thing (even though the default storage IS set to external).

I have the same problem with my phone. I think it is a firmware constriction. The only way i found to use sd card for apps was via link2sd but that requires root.

As the title says my LG L3 E430 wont boot up. The LG logo appears for a moment, disappears, then reappears with the words Security Error beneath it. It then shuts down
Confession time...Been a long time since I rooted my HTC and jumped straight in to the "how to" below out of boredom I guess!.....
STEPS:
1. Set your device on download mode (shutdown the phone, then press "ON + Volume Down") and connect via USB on your PC
2. Download this file: m eg a.co . n z /#!AgxRTZDA!Z0Ni-g5eg9D-X9YEwVcKCFN8hpYwvbex6YCop5MTqfo (remove spaces, i cant post a entire url for the new users restrictions, sorry)
3. Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi)
4. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
5. Set "Type" on "3GQTC" and "PoneMode" on "DIAG"
6. Select V10E_00.kdz from the folder that you downloaded
7. Click on "Launch software update" and wait a few minutes
8. After it finished, put Framaroot-1.6.0.apk on your SDcard or Internal memory
9. Autorice external apps on phone options, then use a file explorer to allocate and execute Framaroot, use Gandaf exploit
Everything seemed to go as planned until step 8. My PC no longer recognised the phone so I removed SD card and copied Framaroot to it. It was around this time I remembered about bootloader and thought DARN! I've screwed up
Anyway before I get the pleasure of smashing it with a sledge hammer (hated it from day one!) I thought I would ask if there is anyway back from this situation....
It will go into download mode but pc doesn't see it and I cant access it because, as I said, it turns on, Security Error comes up and then it shuts down.
