Emulate/Mount hidden internal storage[2GB] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
Currently my device only shows one sdcard in all file managers , [/sdcard][ The one which is inserted in sdcard slot externally ] [16GB].
This device consist of total 4GB internal storage , wherin the 2GB are reserved for apps , and other 2GB is just left over [NO-use , seriously !]
When i connect my phone to computer when TWRP is running , it also mounts the internal storage[2GB][LEFT-OVER PART] & external storage[16GB][/sdcard]
But when phone is normally turned on the file managers display's the external storage[16GB][/sdcard] only,
-In addition, mass storage mode only shows the external sdcard [16GB].
The internal storage is located in /data/media/0 [2GB][LEFT-OVER PART].
Any way to emulate both of this storage via some modification ? .
PS:-
My device is rooted , i have my boot.img decompiled and other things ready to be modified . Some help needed .

I just flashed a new ROM on my galaxy S2 GT-I9100... But the USB storage is not mounting. I have inserted an SD card ( 2GB ) .. But instead of showing the SD card in the external storage, it is showing it in the internal storage. My 16GB internal storage is gone..

The sd card is mounted as a folder and its shown as a folder in internal memory (that aint a problem since if you copy anything into that folder you are copying into the sd card) , and if you are saying that only the sd card is getting mounted and being used instead of internal memory enable root access for aps and adb in settings - developer options, this will mount internal as /mnt/eMMc and if you want to change the default storage go to storage settings press settings button and change from storage configuration, and please include more information like rom type, os version and many other relevant information if you want people to help.

[Q] Make SdExt as main storage

Hello ,
I have a MTK device, and the storage is like that :
- ROM storage ( 515 Mb )
- Internal storage ( 825 Mb )
- SD interne storage ( 2.37 Gb )
- SD Externe storage ( it's my own sd card, my 8Gb insered sd card )
As you can see, there is a " internal sd card " that i can't remove at all ( it's like a 2nd internal storage )
But i have a lot of apps and sometimes this apps have a huge data ( like a couple of game or my GPS app )
So my problem is that when i move my applications to the SDcard, they go into the internal sdcard, but i would like to move them to the external sd card.
Maybe i nead to change a script or a system file to corrige that ? Or maybe a app is make for this ?
Please help me :cyclops:
You'd need to do something along these lines: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389 though definitely want to either know how to restore your stock rom or have a custom recovery with a nandroid backup. Your vold.fstab file will most certainly be different, but the basic principles are the same. If you don't have root and/or recovery or have the stock files and understand how to use the SP Flash Tool, then you should not proceed because it's very easy to brick your device or at least make it unusable. Case in point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718754 Another option MIGHT be this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext but not sure if it supports your platform, and same warnings apply - you should know how to backup and restore your phone before you proceed.
I have tried the Internal 2 external app but i had some problems with it
BUT i have founds a very very easy solution ! I have only edited 2 lines in a file who is in the " system " folder ( i have a nand backup + a recovery backup so no problem ), and now, my external SD card are recognized as the internal SD card and the internal as the external SD card
And since yesterday i have no problem at all, and i have booted a couple of times my tablett.
It's the solution presented here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389

[SHARING][APP][ROOT] USB MASS STORAGE Enabler

This app is for mounting your External SD (Memory Card) in Mass Storage in your rooted phone..
It does not mount internal storage, and it will not work if your device doesn't have External Memory Card Support..
(And this app automatically sets the SE Linux Enforcement to 'Permissive')
Note:
This will work only if there is FUSE driver built-in in your kernel..
This won't work if SD Card (Memory Card) is used as Internal Storage from Marshmallow 6.0, since it's formatted as an EXT4 partition and encrypted.
Steps to Enable UMS:
1. Connect phone to Computer or TV or DVD or whatever.
2. Open the 'UMS Universal' app and press 'Enable UMS' and give it root access.

Star s5/Miz Z2 - unable to mount phone storage memory

Just formatted via USB my phone storage (5gb total) splitting it in 4gb (data) 1gb (ext2 for apps). I put back the original files and folders previously backeupped in the data partition but now the phone doesn't want to mount the memory.
Naturally I can access the memory via USB every time I connect the phone to the PC.
Any idea?

how can I unhide my internal storage after corrupted SD card formatted as internal

I formatted an SD card as internal, then got suddenly corrupted..
the phone is not accepting any other card even with the same brand and capacity..
I bought new phone, and I need to transfer whatsapp chat that already on the old phone, but the internal storage isn't available.. google backup also says no internal storage found..
need help..
Personally don't think you can fix corrupted or not working SD-card formatted as internal storage ( Adoptable Storage ).
As soon as you format an SD-card to be used as internal memory ( Adoptable Storage ) it gets encrypted, the corresponding key gets stored in device's memory, means this SD-card furthermore only can be used on this device, it's not possible anymore to mount this SD-card to another Android device. Quite reverse your Android device refuses to accept any other SD-card.
IMHO Adoptable Storage is absolutely nightmare as card fail frequently, using this expanded storage often will corrupt your files.
