I wrote this short tutorial because extending my internal storage using my new micro SD card on my Retroid Pocket 2+ failed all the time. Only setting it up as portable/external worked. However, this instructions should work in any Android 5.0+ device.

So, in case you have problems setting up your SD card on your Android device via graphical interface (setting up storage as extended internal memory or portable), and you get a corrupted SD card or any other error, follow these steps to fix it via adb shell:

Make sure you have adb access to your Android device: Settings > System > About, touch/click on Build number until Developer options are enabled:
Go to Settings > System > Developer options and enable USB debugging.
Assuming you have adb installed on your remote terminal run the following:

adb shell
