General :: How To Move /data To SDCard Using Extended Partition

Sep 29, 2013

I have a Mocordroid with scp6820a cpu rooted

First some objections:

1- The sdcard is used in vfat filesystem, move simplely /data folder to sdcard will be cause some problems
2- Copy /data to /mnt/sdcard/data will not work completly because we got some error of permission

Code:
adb shell

Code:
cp -r /data /mnt/sdcard
cp: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/data/misc/bluetoothd/FA:2B:B7:4E:90:59': Invalid argument
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/org.mariotaku.twidere/lib': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.estrongs.android.pop/files/comm/tool_port': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.toss.removeappwidget/lib': Operation not permitted

[Code] .....

So first thing i change size of sdcard, decreasing the partition size, and add a second partition with 3 Gbytes using ext2. To do this

Unmount the sdcard in settings>storage>unmount sdcard. I need discover where is the partitions

Code:

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

[Code] ....

For secure i reboot device, and umount card again. So format the second partition

Code:
mke2fs -t ext2 -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

And reboot again. This was hopeful action that it would recognize the card. But not ...

Code:
# mkdir /mnt/sdext
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device

In My Epic Fail I was not successful

BEFORE that I wrote i try several tentactivies, apps but i m thinking that use adb will be the more better.

What is the best way, my internal device have less than 200 MB internal, so is too little !!! Maybe i will need change fstab or init scripts.

General :: Partition Layout - Exact Meaning Of Value In CWM - Partition SDCARD

Aug 26, 2012

I can't figure what is exactly meaning the Partition Sdcard values in CWM.

I have an i9000, with 8Gb of flash. Some are system reserved. Available is around 6Gb.

When i run CWM, i can partition my sdcard, but i don't see what means the possible values (for 256 to 4096).

This is obviously not ruling the space left on /sdcard mountpoint (i partition to 2048, i still have nearly 6Gb available)... So what exactly means partition sdcard from CWM ??

i can't find an answer, and i dislike, when flashing rom, following commands i don't really master (generally a partition SD 2048 / SWAP 256 or SWAP 0).

Motorola Droid :: Titanium Backup - Move Apps Data To Sdcard To Save Some Space

Sep 2, 2010

I used the option in batching Titanium Backup to move apps and data to my sdcard to save some space. I've decided I want to move it back so that it's available when I press the Launcher. I know where it's stored on the sdcard and I have root explorer, but I'm just not sure which folder to move it back to in the first place. which folder houses all the apps that are currently available via the Launcher?

General :: Mounting Second Partition Of SDCARD As Internal Memory?

Aug 17, 2012

my internal SDCARD is corrupted and the /data partition is unusable.

My device is i9003 and it's running on MIUI at the moment. By default MIUI didn't detect my external SD or my internal SD but after editing "vold.fstab" I was able to mount the first partition of my external SDCARD as external memory and everything was good, I could finally use the camera and pretty much do everything else.

But I was still unable to mount the second partition of my external SDCARD as my internal memory which meant none of my messages could be saved and the phone would pretty much go back to factory settings after a reboot, this apparently is because the /data partition (present on the internal memory) stores all the user data such as the time, the theme I'm using, etc and not having a /data partition meant none of these settings were really saved.

Having no internal memory also means I cannot install any apps such as Link2SD.

Moving on, after many hours of googling I found out that it might not be possible to mount the internal memory using "vold.fstab" and the only way to do it could be by mounting the memory manually during init.

I want to use the second partition of my external SDCARD as internal memory, this is likely to solve all my problems and make my phone usable again.

General :: Changing Ext4 Partition To Swap Without Having To Format Entire SDCard?

Apr 27, 2013

One of devs from my device had told us that he'll move system and data images from sdcard to SD ext, but actually he left before doing this so now I'm stuck with useless 5gb ext4 partition on my scard. I'd format it and then change partitions if my sdcard wouldn't be filled with over 20GB of various files. Is it possible to change the size of the second partition to about 500 MB and turn it from ext4 to swap without formatting entire sdcard?

General :: Move Apps To Second Partition On SD Card?

Apr 14, 2013

It's not a problem really, but I just don't know what it is.Isn't link2SD supposed to move the apps to my second partition on the SD card ?

Well it does move them successfully, because in Settings ==> Apps I have NOW a lot of space free.Take a look at this screenshot below. All the apps are in data/app and not on sd card, what is happening "behind the scenes".

General :: Recover Data From Data Partition

Sep 4, 2012

Just as I said in topic - I runned out of memory on my SGSII on internal and sdcard and moved some pictures to /data/myfolder by using Root Explorer, then I've accidentaly deleted it. Is there any way to get the data back?

1) I cant mount /data so it can't be visible on My Computer
2) I couildnt find any app on Market which could recover deleted files from /data partition

EDIT:
Maybe there is a way to make a FULL IMAGE of data partition so I could scan it from my PC with some software for lost files? somehow?

HTC EVO 4G :: Move Applications To Apps2st / Sd - Ext Partition?

Oct 6, 2010

When I load a new ROM with wiping via ROM Manager, I see this:

Preparting to install ROM...
Formatting CACHE...
Formatting DATA...
Formatting SDEXT...
No apps2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.

1. This message doesn't appear to be causing any problems with my phone. Is this something that needs to be corrected? If so, how? 2. Are all of these partitions located on the SD card itself or in the ROM? 3. What do I need to do to correct this? 4. Does the apps2sd application move the applications to the apps2st/sd-ext partition? If so, I'm confused. I use the apps2sd app. If the partition doesn't exist, where are they moved to?

I tried copying these files into the rom but the messaging app doesn't show any difference. Is there a way to salvage the messages?

General :: Root Partition Data Recovery?

Jul 17, 2013

Not so long ago I flashed a custom rooted ROM. After this I realized that I forgot to save some important app configs (im history, notes). As far as I know, Android uses ext4 filesystem on its root partition. Is there a way to perform undelete or any other method to try to recover deleted files? Searching the forums gives some results of repairing data on internal storage, but I guess the user data space is meant, not the root. My device is Huawei U8850 Vision, Android version 4.1.2.

General :: Motorola Droid 4 - Mystery Data Partition 3GB

Oct 26, 2013

Recently a strange partition (storage area?) Appeared on my phone. it is simply called 'data' and it would seem my phone has set this as the new default app installation area. it's 3gb in size..

When I plug it into the computer, The other storage (internal and sd card) are unavailable, as is normal, but this data partition can still be accessed.

How can I transfer over this data back to internal storage (the internal storage on my droid 4 is 8gb) and set the phone to use the internal storage as the default storage space?

Phone is rooted.

General :: How To Resize / Increase /data Partition Size

Apr 22, 2014

My phone has 4GB internal ROM with below partitions:

1. mmcblk0p1 1024 ebr1
2. mmcblk0p2 10.00 MB protect_f ->EXT4
3. mmcblk0p3 10.00 MB protect_s ->EXT4
4. mmcblk0p4 750.00 MB android ->EXT4
5. mmcblk0p5 376.00 MB cache ->EXT4
6. mmcblk0p6 1.20 GB usrdata ->EXT4
7. mmcblk0p7 1.27 GB fat ->VFAT

Now, mmcblk0p7 (1.27 GB of vFAT) partition is used as sdcard1 but I also have a 8GB of mnt/sdcard partition. So, the mmcblk0p7 partition is totally useless in my phone. My questions are:

1. Can I add/merge mmcblk0p7 partition with mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition?

2. Or, Can I re-size/increase my mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition from mmcblk0p7

3. Or, Can I make the mmcblk0p7 as a swap partition like linux OS?

My Phone info:

Chip: MTK 6572
Android Version: 4.2.2
Basebad version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P1, 2013/07/13 13:02

General :: How To Securely Wipe Data From Phone Internal Partition

Sep 26, 2013

how to sanitize my phones' internal memory.

I have an HTC ONE, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I am trying to sell. I know that it's fairly easy to recover data from a wiped partition by using programs like "TenorShare Android Data Recovery", unless data has been written over them at least once.

I had taken pictures of some documents containing highly sensitive data with the phone, and would like to make sure that those documents are not recoverable by the next user.

Neither of them have the USB Mass Storage option in the settings, so I can't just use some secure wipe program.

Android :: Move The Internal DB To The SDCard

Aug 8, 2010

As the database in my app grows, it is going to require more and more of the internal phone space. There isn't any sensitive/private data in the DB, so I'm interested in moving it to the SD card.

I'm using SQLiteOpenHelper to assist with the database work. It's my understanding that you can't use this for DB-access on the SD card as you can't define the DB path. However, there are some (very poor) examples on the Internet that suggest you can override this limitation. However I've never gotten one of those code samples to compile.

Is it possible? And if so--HOW! Please note that Froyo's "apps on SD card" feature won't work as it doesn't move internal files.

General :: Recover SDCard Without Losing Data

Feb 22, 2014

It appears as unformatted BUT, I know that the data is still there because the CWM manages to browse files if I get into the menu "install zip from /sdcard1", but it can't see anything if I try a "restore from sdcard1"...

So I have an ubuntu build and I'd like to try to repair the "masterboot" .

I never did this before so I don't really know what I need, SDCard is 32 GB class 10.

When I plug my phone from CWM and enable the mount the SDcard on usb I got this error message :
Error mounting: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock

Here is the result of the "fdisk -l" command :

Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 32.0 GB, 32018268160 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 31019 cylinders, total 62535680 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x4d544f4f

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 2048 62535679 31266816 b W95 FAT32

Which actually looks weird, I thought that my sdcard were ext4 formated, well but I am not 100% sure about that...

Here the result of the command "fsck -y /dev/sdb1"

Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
dosfsck 3.0.12, 29 Oct 2011, FAT32, LFN

Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!

General :: Mount Arbitrary Phone Partition On PC / Change Partition Names?

Oct 8, 2013

I am running rooted stock Android 2.3 on LG E405 (no working 4.x ROMs exist for the device)

I have two questions:

1) What is the shell command to manually make android allow the PC to mount androids' (internal) partition as USB-drive? (I cannot think of right keywords to google this one up - )

2) How does android determine which partition is which (i.e. which one to remount for the PC when connecting in "USB storage" mode), beside vold.fstab and init.rc? On android 2.3 that info is not in "framework-res.apk", so where is it? In the partition table itself?

I had switched data partition with internal sdcard partition.

Here's how: Phone had a very small "/data" partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 and large internal "/sdcard" partition on mmcblk0p20

So I reformatted mmcblk0p20 (ex-sdcard partition) into EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 (ex-data partition) into FAT32

Then I changed init.rc to mount mmcblk0p20 as /data type EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 as /sdcard type VFAT (mounting /sdcard was commented out in stock init.rc for some reason). This required modifying my boot image.

I have also set correct partition number in vold.fstab:

[#]dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host[/#]

So basicly I now have a large /data partition and small internal /sdcard. I'm able install up to a gigabyte of APKs and it works fine.

However, when I connect to my PC via USB into "USB Storage" mode, the phone seems to still try to unmount what was previously sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p20), instead of what is NOW an sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p21) I can still send files to the phone via wi-fi and ADB, but the ability to mount it directly would be nice.

If I accidentally select "erase internal sdcard" from storage menu, that will also most likely erase what is now my /data partition, softbricking the phone. The "factory reset" option will probably only corrupt the sdcard.

General :: SD 2nd Partition Doesn't Work - MiniTool Partition Wizard?

Oct 19, 2012

I'm have been trying to create a second partition on my sd card using miniTool Partition Wizard.But in the end I never get a 2nd partition but just a smaller first one.My approach is as follows:

insert empty SD card (FAT32, 4GB)
open miniTool Partition Wizard
right click on SD card - "Move/Resize"
choose 1gb for unallocated space after - click ok
right click on 2nd partition and choose "create"
create 2nd partition with FAT32/Ext2/Ext3 (tried all options already) and "primary" and Cluster 4KB - click ok
Apply

Afterwards my SD card is still shown as one partition, but this has just 1gb less capacity then before.Neither the Wizard nor the phone detects the 2nd partition then.
