Hello everyone,
I am desperately trying to get my SD card on my S7 (SM-G930F , herolte) to work as an adaptable storage. At first, I installed LignageOS and rooted through Magisk, because why not. But I found the ROM too unstable, and the infamous camera issue was a deal-breaker for me as I really need my mobile for my research (which is why I'm trying to use adaptable storage, my internal storage is full and the mobile lagging).
So I reverted to the stock ROM, and - why not - I treated myself to the most recent firmware update, with Oreo (8.0), still rooted with Magisk.
I then tried to format my SD card through adb, as shown here, running these lines in the terminal with the USB-debugging mode activated:
Grillotalpa:~ xain$ adb shell
herolte:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable true
herolte:/ $ sm list-disks
disk:179,0
herolte:/ $ sm partition disk:179,0 private
herolte:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable false
herolte:/ $ exit
Grillotalpa:~ xain$
... to no avail. The SD stays untouched.
I then tried to format it through Root Essential, but RE requires me to flash the ASP plugin. I followed their instructions, and the phone reboots in recovery mode. But once in TWRP, no rest for the wicked:
I already tried to wipe everything out, format /data with another filesystem and then re-format in ext4 - that solves the "invalid argument" issue in a rather brutal way, but doesn't allow me to flash ASP (as "Root Essentials is not installed").
Any possible way out or workaround ?
