I need help with:

hello DEVELOPERS !
SO I need help with: -Format-signed.zip folder- when you flash it from recovery on Nexus One is DELETE everything (format /data /system /cache and /sd-ext) INSTEAD WIPE, unfortunately this FORMAT.zip doesn't working with Nexus S
Can some one rebuild this ? so it's gonna work for us?

YOU CAN SAY: I can go into CWR and select Mounts and manually format /data /system /cache and /sd-ext
TRY TO FORMAT and restart the phone....u phone gonna boot...+(sd-ext always gives error when u wipe, or format it)
after "my" format you phone gonna stack on boot loader....because it's nothing there !

[Q] ummu i no what it is, just 1 small question

idk why im confused. can someone please verify. want to flash erikmm rom
ummu - unmount system, mount cache, mount emmc, unmount sdcard?
is this what we want to see and leave everything else the same?
if we did have to flash stock rom. do we mess with these again?

Yep to your first question. And if restoring a backup you don't need to worry about them. Otherwise I'm not sure? Sorry.

Hey, I can answer your question
In erikmm's thread, he said:
erikmm said:
Installation Instructions:
1. Must have efs backup on desktop * just in case *
2. Nand Backup
3. Format System
4. Set Mounts to UMMU. *unmount cache, mount data, mount sdcard, unmount system*
5. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
6. Flash Rom
7. Reboot
8. Let the phone sit for 10 minutes then enjoy.

First, you want to flash this ROM. You should odin back to stock, and odin recovery ( for a full wipe )
Make sure Battery is full charged before odin these things
Second. Go to recovery. Volume up + Down + Power.
1.Backup ( of course )
2. After that, format system, try to format 3 times.
3. Go to Mounts & USB Storage
You'll see a lot of things. Make sure you check in this
unmount cache
mount data
mount emmc
unmount system
is correct.
If you see one of these option is different than erikmm said, you'll try to correct them. Ex: You see in CWM "unmount data", you can correct by press Power button to changed it to " mountd data "
And the same as another options
4. Make sure you correct right things in CWM. After that, do an wipe data/fatory resets ( 3 times, I think ) and flash erikmm's ROM in your SDcard
5. Reboot, wait for 10 minutes, and enjoy

Maybe the confusion is this... inside the "Mounts and Storage Menu" lists as follows...
mount /efs
unmount /data
unmount /cache
unmount /emmc
mount /sdcard
mount sd-ext
format /data
format /system
format /cache
format /emmc
format /sdcard
format /sd-ext
mount USB storage
+++++Go Back+++++
thus the UMMU stated is not in that order and what about the others?
Be safe and have fun.

You no longer need to mess with the mounts when installing erikmm's ROMs.

tutorial added to first post. no just remove the revert all settings in the app(and hope they fit into /data) and delete the script its something s2e like the script will automatically move all apps and dalvik cache and everything except /data/data to /sd-ext nothing to configure.

How to Install guide
1.remove all app2sd scripts from init.d folder inside /system/etc you should have two scripts only smothing like 90userinit and 00banner or module if any other script that has 2ext or app in it please delete them.(only app2sd scripts matter no other script)
2.uninstall all related apps for the same scripts.
3.reboot into recovery.
4.under mount & storage(or something similar) chose mount /system & /data and /sd-ext
5.go back and choose install zip
6. select Fixed-Int2ext4+.zip and flash.
7 go back to mount & storage and unmount /data & /sd-ext.
8.format /sd-ext from the same menu.
reboot and enjoy.
Note : this will work for only ext 4 partition(if you format sd-ext using cwm 5 its ext 4) will upload int2ext+ soon if requested.

I've partitioned the SD Card on FAT32 and ext4. For ext4 I made 1 GB. My SD Card is of 16 GB. Rest is FAT32.
The first make partition FAT32 and then ext4.

it mounts your /sd-ext partition as /data hence internal storage is the size that your /sd-ext is.
also its easier to partition with cwm and keep swap as 0.

Help me!

first try installing script without mounting /sd-ext but follow all other steps(mainly mount /system & /data flash script & later unmount /data and format /sd-ext).
If this doesnt work(I seriously doubt it won't still) it means that the /sd-ext partition is corupt(many reasons) so do this flash amon ra and choose fix sd-ext partition the n flash cwm 5 again and format sd-ext partition.
still doesnt work(really still doesnt ?!?!?!) post here the full porblem you face then and if you tried both these solutions.
Good luck.

MM internal memory solution

Hi guys,
I'll share some scripts (flashable) that I've made to help with xperia l internal memory shortage.
1. First one is the link2sd-enabler.zip: http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/UduJGjqJ/file.html.
For this to work you'll need a second partition on the external sdcard formated as ext4. So first partition is the vfat one, the second primary partition on the external sd card is the ext4 one. Currently I have a 8Gb ext4 second partition.
Installation procedure: prepare your external sdcard, flash the zip, install link2sd application.
2. Second is the 01link2sdmm: http://www86.zippyshare.com/v/9DSgorlH/file.html.
The link2sd application does not automatically link the oat directory of the application. This directory contains the compiled application in the form of an odex file. For big apps this file is pretty big. So this script will automatically link this directory to the sdcard second partition for the applications that are linked to the sdcard. This works in conjunction with the link2sd-enabler.zip script.
Installation procedure: put this script in the /etc/init.d directory with the proper permissions. This way it will run at boot. If you want to run this directly after you link an app you'll need to use automagic and make a rule to run this script after you exit the link2sd application.
Observations: This script is not needed if you switch the internal partitions because you'll have enough space to keep the odex file internally. It's your choice.
3. Third script is the mm-partition-swapper.zip: http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/eyRO7gLw/file.html.
This one will switch your sdcard and userdata partition on your current mm rom. This was tested on rr573 that I have installed, but it should work in other mm roms as well.
Installation procedure: Make sure you have enough space on the external sd card so the script will be able to save your current data partition files. Save the files that you need from your internal partition to your external sd card. Make a backup of your current rom from twrp in case something wrong happens. Format from TWRP the internal sd card as ext4. Flash the zip. If everything works ok then you'll have a rom with the internal partitions swapped and you'll have 4Gb of user data available (minus your space for the already installed apps).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't try formatting the internal sdcard as ext4 with twrp version 3.0.2! It seems that his twrp version does not support this. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by Barbarosa.
Observations: Twrp does not support backing up/restoring internal sd. If you swap partitions you'll have to backup your ext4 internal sd manually from within twrp connected through adb (with a simple tar command)
4. I think 256 ZRAM for the rr573 rom is too big so this zip will change this to 128MB:
mm-128Mb-zram.zip:http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/XjVAnXEl/file.html.
Please make a backup before flashing the swap zip and report if this worked for you.
Hope this helps,
Thanks.

I've been struggeling for quite some time to get the link2sd app working since I flashed MM.
I've done a clean install, flashed the zip, installed link2sd, but I still get a 'mount script error, Cannot create script, mount: no such file or directory.' Anyone got an idea what I do wrong?
thx!

Check if you have in the /etc/init.d directory the 00link2sd script. For this script to work you need a rom with a working init.d (otherwise this won't work obviously...). If you have the script there, then check if you see a directory /data/sdext2 (if this directory is missing, but you have the 00link2sd script in the /etc/init.d directory, then this means you don't have init.d support in the rom). If you partition your sdcard correctly then the second ext4 partition of you sdcard should me mounted in the /data/sdext2 directory ... All these you need to check before installing the link2sd app...

Awesome! Thank you. I'll try this

Then your rom doesn't have init.d support. You need a kernel/rom (more precisely a ramdisk) with init.d support to use this ... The rr573 supports init.d ... Try it with this one ...

I am on stryflex MM ROM and TWRP 3.0.2.
I formatted internal storage as ext4, then flashed mm-partition-swapper.zip.
Says that there is no ext4fs partition and I tried reboot recovery and my phone is dead now, can't turn it on...
I don't blame you, I blame myself for trying. But please help. Flashtool doesn't recognize flash mode.
Don't use this method. Not safe.

Sorry to hear this. If the script gave you this error then the script did nothing to your phone. It just aborted the procedure because it did not find the sdcard formated as ext4. It must be the twrp version. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by barbarosa. I think twrp 3.0.2 does not support formatting the internal sdcard as ext4. Most pobably the twrp version 3.0.2 formated something else as ext4 or whatever instead of internal sd... I did not know this. Sorry again...
Try to search the brick threads. If you still have a blue light when in flashmode I think you still have a chance to resurect it...
Sent from the center of the galaxy

I've modified the post to warn people of this twrp version. So, people, use only twrp 2.8.x.x to format the internal sdcard. I'm using 2.8.7.0 twrp version by Barbarosa. I don't know if other twrp versions support ext4 on internal sdcard.

You have to have twrp 2.8.7.0, then format internal sdcard as ext4 (wipe settings) and then flash the zip...

Yes, formatting internalSD as ext4 is tricky. My recovery was broken. Probably formatted something else. It wasn't your script.
However I have no volume up button on my phone (fell out) - no fastboot. And just volume down button (flash mode) and a somewhat broken USB cable. Phone not recognized by flashtool at all...

Ok thanks! One more question, If I somewhat want to undo this, I need to back up the current MM rom before flashing the script? Will the internal sd and /data automtically be swapped back when I restore the back up?

After swapping the partitions your old backups of the rom will not work anymore (or probably they would just revert the swapping. Anyway if you want to restore a backup that's been done prior to swap it's better to format back by hand the internal sdcard to vfat and data to ext4)
For backing up a rom with swapped partitions you'll have to select the sdcard instead of data partition in the backup options... I did not try it yet...

I ran the the link2sd enabler script on my rr573, works like a charm now.
Thank you so much, I needed this!
Didn't swapped the storages yet.

The dream is real!
Congratulations.
Seeking a long time for a script like mm-partition-swapper.zip
Before seeing your post, I had already made the formatting of SD0 (ext4) to try to install Link2SD to work with SD0 without work.
I used the TWRP 3.0.2.
I could easy return the partition to FAT.
I intend to make a clean installation of ROM on my device to then install your mm-partition-swapper.zip script.
As both the "DATA" as SD0 are empty you still think need to format with TWRP 2.8.7?
No way to change this script without the data transfer?
Only formatting partitions and inverted mounts?
If not necessary then ok...but... please clear this my doubts.
Again without getting tired ... very thank you even for your script.

Encryption Unsuccesful

Hello!
Recently I recevied "Encryption Unseccesful" message on my phone. I tried to restore backup, but twrp says: "failed to mount /data". So, internal storage is dead. Found this. But cant find "repartition" menu in the cwm.
Questions is:
1. Do I need older versions of cwm to repartition sdcard? (If you have one, please share )
2. Is there any ways of recovering phone?
Thanks in advance!

tried this, but I think internal storage is corrupted. Is there a way to use sdcard as internal storage?

you can use sd card for apps and other stuff, but as I knoe cannot be used for system files

I made 2 partitions on sd:
4gb fat32
4gb ext4
But I cant bind /data to this ext4 partition. Can you help, please?
What i did:
With TWRP's terminal:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- Invalid argument (dunno why)
Code:
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- but on phone boot i receive same "encryption unsuccesful" screen.
Edited /etc/fstab - same result.
Files and mount after reboot turn back to its previous condition.
Also installed stock ROM - same message screen.
[/QUOTE]
I got advice that i must do this things with init.d scripts. How can I do this? Already tried "xda's app2sd scripts" but they works if phone completely boots in OS.
