Hi to all of u and thanks for great posts u made about all thing u need to know about flashing, brickign and recovering our phones
So i flashed mi xperia miro st23i last year with :
cm10 - 10-20131224 unofficial mesona
build number- cm_mesona-userdebug 4.1.2 jz054k eng.root.20131224.135016 test-keys
kernel : 3.0.8-fxp-g22c38de5 [email protected]#1
andrid v. : 4.1.2
And it worked perfect with some small bugs, the phone was much better with cm10 then before. So many thanks for creators and tutorial makers for making us noob and newnoobs do the easiest way and improve our cheep androids
Yesterday i bought 8gb microsd (ScabDisk) and swap my 2gb (Kingston) - i copied all from 2gb to 8gb m.card and put it in android and worked till i try to mess with vold.fstab....and made my day.....
So, tried to swap intenal memory with external sd card, i backedup original vold.fstab and replace with one from forum put it in system/etc and reboot phone, after few minutes phone is up and memory is swaped but phone internal memory (2gb) disapired es explorer say
>sdcard unmounted< after few restarts and trying to restor original vold.fstab ( buy the way now lost original vold.fstab) both memories are now disapired......
The problem is when i : Power on phone and enter clw menager ext.sd and internal memory are accesibel and i can flash new room, they are dismounted and i try to mount them via clw but whne phone turns on they are booth unmounted and unaccesible.
Phone works, calls, sms,wifi,games, but cant donwnload and instal, camera say no sd card, and all my photos and videos from internal memory (phone memory are gone). Pc dont see anything when i connect, cards work whne i put them in camera or card reader,just in phone they are not visible.

Thanks for replaying btw, some of postes helped me, so im trying whole morning to figure out what the hell heppend and....
So i flashed cm10 again, somehow i menaged to backup data trough clw and after flasing phone is workig fine both memories are ok and ext card is ok. Pictures are back as videos and all other stufs.....
The strange thing is if i replace vold.fstab with some from forum about mesona, phone mem. is ok, ext.card is mounted as internal and all apps are working exept cam and galery and internal mem is not shown buy settings/storage just from es exlporer.
it would be good if someone can menage to make this working it looks like half way trip...
Seeing xp miro to have 8gb internal m. and working cam would be grate.
I left some screenshots...

First of all editing vold.fstab is pretty straight forward. I don't know why you went for replacing the edited vold.fstab. Its just a matter of interchanging 'sdcard' and 'externalcard' text.
For the apps not working, did you try clear cache, data, force stop and then restart ? It may solve the issue.
For Camera did you try changing data storage option ?

Sorry for lat respones,
I try to edit vold.fstab by replacing ext.sd with sd and whne phone booted external card changed to internal 8gb but internal disapired and i couldn't execs it. So i restored originial vold.fstab and after boot both mem disapired, not seen in phone explorer or pc, just clw can see ext.sd and internal so i reflashed cm10 and all is back to normal.
In cm10 i dont have option in camera menu sd/intermal or external default is internal, so i manuel copy pics to external and galery works normal-see all pics.

Did you just replace external SD card with SD card ? If that is the case, it would definitely cause issue... In fact you should have swapped Ext SD and SD in vold.fstab, not just replace the ext SD with SD. Hope I could see what's there in your vold.fstab file.

I couldnt find a dedicate thread for Vodafone Smart tab 2. So I guess I ll post this here maybe will help some people.
This tablet is basicaly a Lenovo A2107 (A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA)
- with single sim slot ( call feature restricted - only data enabled) and 4gb storage (1.8 gb user available)
For root - you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044496
User isyrider managed to install recovery and pemergency rom unlocking the calling feature also.
I was looking for a way to swap the internal storage with the sd card so I could get more space if posible without installing a custom rom to avoid incompatibility issues that could appear. Directory bind can help with big game files like gameloft but those 2 gb are still not too much . I was unable to install N.O.V.A 3 because it requires 1.81 gb free on sd.
Anyway long story short . To swap internal memory with SD card you need to have root and replace your VOLD.FSTAB file from system/etc with the one I attached.
You need to have root .
Use any root explorer.
Unzip attachment
Rename your VOLD.FSTAB to VOLD.FSTAB.BAK
Copy my VOLD.FSTAB to system/etc
Reboot.
Check in settings, You will see your sd card listed as internal memory.
This combined with link2sd app will give you plenty of space to install anything .
Hope this helps .
Hi icrazy, I've tried this procedure but unfortunately, I wasn't able to copy your 'vold.fstab' to the directory 'system/etc'. I've rooted my unit before I did this. Now the unit cannot detect SD card. I cannot rename/copy/move any file on this directory. please help... How to restore it, Thank you in advance
Hello, I don't understand what happen. If you were not able to copy my vold.fstab what did you change ? I ask this because you must have done something if now is not working.
Anyway it looks like is a problem with your file explorer , make sure it has read /write rights for system files.
Can you please share some light on isyrider? what is that? where can we find it? Google search didn't seem to help me with this
Is there any way in unlocking the phone feature without installing a different ROM? The last time i did that, with another lenovo tablet, i lost my 3g capabilities , and honestly i don't want to repeat that thing allover again.
Thank you icrazy, working perfectly
I have now 2x Vodafone Smart Tab II 7" with 4 GB and 8 GB storage on internal memory
Hi i managed to use the vold.fstab and replace the internal memory with the sdcard but my problem wasnt solved because the tablet also has another partition 503mb of internal storage and when i install any app will install the apps data on that internal storage even if i have sdcard or internal memory as default write disk so after a couple of apps i have the out of space issue because the internal storage is full is there any way to swap the internal storage 503mb ( not the internal memory 1.85gb) with the internal memory or even with the sdcard this is really stupid why have only 503mb of internal storage if the apps save keep saving data on that partition
Regards

Sorry to bump an old thread but i'm also wondering how it's possible to install a custom rom on this tablet. Any help aprecciated
i lost my mnt/sdcard/<files> i delete them oh what a mistake!
but they were useless .
they story was began from 1 day i decided format my internal sd card then i did it from >setting/sd car and phone storage/format internal storage.
at this time i had 2.2 froyo . i tried flash 2.3.6 GB ,scan sd card for viruses , format ex sdcard.
but when i did the last thing (format ex sd card from>setting/sd card and phone storage/fromat ex sd )i lost my ex sd card too (must mention it i did format 3 time internal sd card and 5 time ex sd card again and again cuz i had sd card removed unexpectedly issue and somewhere said it happen by virus (i guess true cuz i downloaded some app recently and after that the sd card removed unexpectedly was occur)but those formats clear all thing. phone doesnt recognize both sd cards even .
now i live with a 4 gb ex sd card and unavailable int/ex sd card. (yea its unavalable but when i put it off without 4 gb ex sd the phone wont boot up)
in my phone i just see system root (no sd card no internal memory) .
the one thing i am thinkin about that is .maybe should i have this directory files backup mnt/sdcard/<files> .maybe if i copy & paste those files again my sd card come back again .maybe .cuz i have no doubt it mnt/sdcard/files wont change after flash official rom.and i cant flash a custom rom jelly bean (i hear that directory is /sdcardo )till phone cant recognize ex sd card.
i have no other idea.
so plz upload these files mnt/sdcard/<files>

If you remember what you change just do it in reverce. When i done that kind of things i save the old files.I have done it on my SX E and it was easy fixing it.Just reverce the names and the card will work.

The app that you tried might not be supporting the s5 clone.
So i would recommend you to uninstall that app and then reboot your phone.
There is a change that your problem might be fixed.
did factory reset and didn't help
thank you so much for replay any way that didnt help
i flash new rom or the phone it turn up the same old rom and problem fixed
now i lost the imie how do i restore the imie please
