Hi evereyone.
I'm a bit unexperienced.
I have a Sony XPERIA U, which doesn't have SD Card entry, only internal memory.
Today I installed Clockworkmod and rooted my phone, BUT I forgot to transfer the CM11 and GApps to my internal memory.
Now my phone doesn't load!
I can access the clockworkmod screen easily, but it seems that there is no Android nor CM11 installed, so it just keeps the screen black and active for ever.
I needed my phone to load in order to transfer files to the memory with Windows or Ubuntu... But what now?
PLEASE, I BEG! Is there a way to transfer those files into the phone's internal memory?
Thank you!

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

It sounds to me that TWRP is taking up 6.2GB of your internal memory, leaving 4GB free space, and when you try to do another backup you get the "insufficient memory" warning. Since you cant move it to your external SD card, I would try connecting the phone to the computer and transferring it over to the computer via MTP. After you copy it over, you could just delete the TWRP folder on your internal memory and it should work fine for more backups. I've always struggled with making TWRP backups because I've never bothered to get a bigger external SD card. I've always had to shuffle things around between my PC & the phone's memory to make things fit.
Twrp
So TWRP will effectivly stay on my pc, and if I need it, I can transfer it back to my phone..Do I erase it from my phone.
Thanks for your help

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
Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung Mega Galaxy i9152. The phones internal storage shows me 399 mb remaining while my SD card has a free space of 14 GB. Is there a way, i can point all apps to download directly to the SD card. I can't clear my internal storage becasue it actually has nothing other than ROM & some few apps. I have tried Link2sd and moved apps to the SD card but not all apps get moved and only 40% of the file gets moved to the SD card. This really is bothering as anytime i need to install something, i need to uninstall something.
Any tips for me?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Well except Apps2SD there is no other way you can push to external SD and messing with partitions wont be good idea and can Hard brick phone hence you have to adjust with it
Good Luck!
Hi all,
i am in bit in need of help.
with a cut past action from internal sd to external 3 video files where corrupted when my phone freezed during action.
I hope they are still on my internal sd but then deleted (because of the cut action and they arent visible.).
is it possible to recover from internal SD with a non rooted device?
All my windows recovery programs do not reconize the phone when plugged in (because it doesnt get an drive from windows).

So guess it isn't possible to recover from internal memory?
