How to resize /data /system and /sdcard partition - HTC One S

Hello
I Found this tutorial for resizing Android partition but nothing happens:
I followed all the steps but I am missing something and cant get it work
So far I have
/system 1.6GB
/cache 255MB
/data (userdata) 2.4 GB
/sdcard 9.9GB
What I want is to give to the /data partition more 3 GB to became 5.4 GB
and /sdcard will be 6.9 GB

YOU ARE GOING TO MODIFY PHONE'S PARTITION TABLE, A WRONG STEP COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.​
PREREQUISITES:
Linux computer with Android SDK installed or a mind in order to use these instructions in a different way (different OS, partial SDK installation, ecc...)
30-60min
Backup of your apps, data and your internal memory, you have to re-flash your rom. If needed backup your "sdcard" partition (you are going to loose everything in, so also apps on sd card), maybe you could consider a nandroid backup for a disaster recovery and/or titanium backup (or equivalent) to restore your apps and settings.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Install and boot TWRP
Get a shell:
Code:
(PC) adb shell
Umount sdcard
Code:
(ADB SHELL) umount /sdcard
Open fdisk
Code:
(ADB SHELL) fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
Print current partition table (and save the output somewhere)
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) p
Remove sdcard and data partition:
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) d
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 15
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) d
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 14
Create new data partition
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) n
(First cylinder) -> you have to indicate the same start cylinder of partition 14 read in step 6
(Last cylinder) -> +8192M (this will create a 8gB partition)
Check new partition table
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) p
Create new sd partition
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) n
(First cylinder) -> you have to indicate the stop cylinder of partition 14 read in step 8 +1. If you read 292945 as stop cylinder you have to write 292946.
(Last cylinder) -> just press enter
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) t
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) 15
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) c
Write changes to partition table
Code:
(ADB SHELL/fdisk) w
"wipe" data and sdcard to format your new partitions
Push your ROM and gapps
Code:
(PC) adb push myrom.zip /sdcard/
(PC) adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/
Flash ROM and gapps
Reboot
...if everything was going successfully...
Eventually restore sdcard data
Done!
Enjoy your new big data partiton

Partition table entries are not in disk order
And see the partition I need to delete
/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 294913 606208 2490367+ 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p36 606209 1908480 10418176 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
---------------------------------
/data partition is 2.4 GB so dev/block/mmcblk0p35
/storage partition is 9.9 GB /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
then d
35
d
35
Because when I first delete 35 partition 36 became 35...
Next thing I am adding new parttion
after adding new partition
/dev/block/mmcblk0p59 294913 929679 5078128+ 83 Linux
This is for sd card parttion:
Command (m for help): n
First cylinder (18941-1908480, default 18941): 929680
Sector 14874864 is already allocated
First cylinder (929681-1908480, default 929681):
Using default value 929681
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (929681-1908480, default 1908480):
Using default value 1908480
And I get this
/dev/block/mmcblk0p60 929681 1908480 7830399+ 83 Linux
Then I did
Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1-60): 60
Hex code (type L to list codes): c
Changed system type of partition 60 to c (Win95 FAT32 (LBA))
And Finally I have
/dev/block/mmcblk0p59 294913 929679 5078128+ 83 Linux ===> should be /data
/dev/block/mmcblk0p60 929681 1908480 7830399+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) => should be /sdcard
And then I did
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table
Everything so far is good
The problem now is how to deal with step 11 ===> "wipe" data and sdcard to format your new partitions
I have searched in the forum and I found this comment http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=446
It says 8) "wipe" data and sdcard to format your new partitions. (May require to mount the SDCARD)
I am trying to mount the partitions
~ # mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p34 on /cache failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 on /data failed: No such file or directory

When I flash with again I am with 2.4 GB /data and 9.9GB /sdcard
Can someone help me out with this, because I am sure that I am missing something little thing to get it work

If you're re-flashing using the HTC RUU's, it will override any chances you've made.

I reflash the with TWRP version 3....
The problem I have after step 10, I am not able to mount back to follwing partitions, to be able to format it with the changed partition table.....

[Q] S3 not saving all settings

hey all, i'm having some issues with my phone - it's having issues saving certain data.
Widget will randomly go missing/fail to load, wallpaper would be forgotten, default launcher, default keyboard with default to rom defaults etc.
wiping and trying different ROMs has no cure
I'm on hboot 3.01.
i saw one post to run 'fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0', so i tried it - it doesn't all look right to me with 60 partitions!

[Q] Partition Table Messed Up

Guys,
Need some help. When my device failed to boot(not able to mount /cache, /data) I researched ways to resolve the issue and eventually ended up using parted and fdisk. As a result found that partition no 4 was faulty..

I then re-booted the phone in bootloader and it never came back up - ofcourse what i missed was to move all other partitions up... 5 to 4, 6 to 5 etc..
I downloaded QPST as the device is now only connecting in download mode and need an Partition image file to download on the device. Can somebody please use QPST and backup partition image file and share please. I believe the same can be downloaded to the phone using QPST.
Please guide / advice if there are any other options. Have checked the full thread of HTC Unbriking project but no luck.
I was on hboot 1.29 and S-OFF.
Please help.
Missed to mention that device is Sensation XE.

The partition table was fine. You nuked it. JTAG time

[Q] How can I list partitions in parted? (getting error messages)

Keep in mind, I'm a Linux user, but just jumping blindly into Android. I have rooted the device and am running these commands with ADB (with TWRP running on the phone) as root.
When I try to run the command parted /dev/block/mmcblk0, and then print out the partition details, I get the following error message:
Code:
~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk0
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) print
print
Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.
(parted)
How can I read the partition in parted, and more importantly, why am I getting this error message?
The thing is, the phone seems to be working just fine, so if there is any damage to the partition table, it does not seem to be affecting phone function in any way.
If it makes a difference, the phone is an HTC One V with firmware tailored for the Cricket wireless company, but I asked this in the general Q&A because I'm assuming this isn't phone specific, but a general Android issue.
Just in case someone needs the additional information, the phone doesn't seem to have lsblk built in, but this is the output from fdisk (and gives more warning messages that I'm not entirely familiar with):
Code:

Stuck when performing factory reset TWRP

Hi, I swiped factory reset in the advanced menu of TWRP. It seems stuck at “Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function” for about 30 minutes now. Any idea on what I should do? Should I wait longer? Thank you!
Edit: So I removed the battery without finishing it but now the recovery says "unable to mount /data". I can't flash any ROM now because it can't mount data. I tried the "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23" solution both in the twrp terminal and adb but the problem still persists. Please help. Thank you.

Hi, I swiped factory reset in the advanced menu of TWRP. It seems stuck at “Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function” for about 30 minutes now. Any idea on what I should do? Should I wait longer? Thank you!
Edit: So I removed the battery without finishing it but now the recovery says "unable to mount /data". I can't flash any ROM now because it can't mount data. I tried the "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23" solution both in the twrp terminal and adb but the problem still persists. Please help. Thank you.

Hi, where did you get your TWRP recovery from?
Have you tried mkfs.ext4
Thanks for the reply, I got my TWRP recovery, I think, at the TW
RP website by searching google for Sensation. Anyway, my phone is working now by using my external sdcard as /data but I wish there's a way to recover the corrupted internal sdcard.

I think that's the bad TWRP that breaks data, everyone is using ivanich's TWRP recovery from here.
Flash ivanich's latest TWRP, boot into recovery and use adb and try with mkfs.ext4 or even mkfs.ext2
Code:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
Edit: I just sent TeamWin a message explaining this and to remove download link from their site.
TWRP broken partition table
TWRP has broken my partition table. I cannot format via parted due to the fact it now has 'overlapping partitions'. No recovery can fix this including 4ext. Completely stuck at the minute. I don't want to use a microsd card as storage when I have internal storage available. Is there anyone that can help or has had any success? I am S-OFF and bootloader UNLOCKED.
Tried stock RUU via P58..zip and get's stuck part way through (I think at system or SD)
Help! I'm sure there's someone that can fix the partition table. The format of the internal storage sd is fat32 - which I believe is where the problem started from. I don't want to let this problem defeat me although I have spent an age trying to sort it...too late to give up
Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers

Have you tried hinxnz suggestion regarding mkfs? I can't try it myself , fearing that I might brick my Sensation again. I have tried the command "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23" inside ivanich's twrp before , but there's still error. Don't know if the command is the same.

Unfortunatley it has got worse, I was in abd mode, and I was looking at partitions. I finished using adb, but ejected the usb cable to quickly so I don't think it finished doing what it was doing, and now I am in QHUSB_DLOAD mode with S-OFF so I think I have fully bricked it now. Time to throw it away.

Tried the first link but no joy as I'm S-OFF. Also tried the unlimited.io s-off fix and still no joy.
