Please help me...I flashed the FlyROM V4 correctly but its stuck at boot animation...when i go to mount sd-ext..its shows "Error mounting sd-ext"..is that the problem? If it is..how to solve it?
Make Sure You Made A Sd-Ext Partition Correct, To Check Whether You Made A Partition Correct Or Not, Just Mount Sd-Ext In Recovery, If It Mounts Without Any Error Then Just Go Ahead, But If It Shows An Error, It Means You Didn't Make A Partition Correct. So Now What You Need To Do Is:
1. Don't Partion Your SD Card By Using Recovery.
2. Partition It Via "Minitool Partition Wizard" Manually.
3. Create A Ext 4 Partition As Primary.
4. Now, Install Yannou's Recovery (The One Which You Install While Rooting)
5. Finally, Mount Sd-Ext And Flash Any Sense 4 Rom..
Note: Don't Use CWM Recovery, It Never Mount Sd-Ext At Any Cost.. Use Yannou's Recovery Or Philz Touch Recovery Instead..

thanks for replying here..i got the problem solved by just
1. removing old partitions
2. changing to philz recovery
3. making a new partition using philz and then flashing..
But now am unable to install any kind of memory script to increase internal memory..even after installing successfully .. the memory isnt increasing..what's wrong?
First open ur rom zip, navigate to system/etc/init.d and remove that 78mv2ext file and replace it with ur desired script and then reflash rom..
But do this at your own risk, if u get into a bootloop just reflash the rom with 78mv2ext script again..
Note: in sense roms, internal memory will always be 150 mb, but when you install apps its internal memory will not decrease as it decreases usually because of that Sd-Ext Partition you created..

lol i didnt know internal memory is always 150mb..but it doesnt decreases..if its true..then there's no problem.
Guys when i try to partition sd card using twrp I get a message saying "Unable to create ext partition" and then "unable to mount ext-partiton". Is it a bug of the twrp ?

hi.yesterday when i was installing new custom rom, i have accidentaly formated internal storage ,now i am stuck with twrp recovery screen,i have tried to install rom from sd card but not able to install.please help me
thanks
Go to download mode and flash to stock if you are stuck.
Hey there, you can use ADB SideLoad through TWRP to Transfer another custom ROM to your phone internal memory
i had this problem before
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

I have the init.d folder, but it seems the sdext2 folder was only created after I installed the link2sd app.
I tried doing it all over again, but it still doesnt work, same messages...

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 ...

Thx! Which do you recommend? I've tried several in the last two or three months. Now I'm running AOSP-OMS.
I ran slim, RR and CM 13 beta before without any problems, just the storage issue.

I've just told you. RR573. For a completely working camera on this one just replace a camera library... Search the rr thread...

I use rom AOSP OMS . file zip working?
Brick and problem other ?
Thx you building script .
Thx advanced
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...

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.

Thanks for the solutions. So now if I only need to swap internal sd and /data, i just need to flash 3rd script? I'm quite confusing about partitioning and memory stuffs

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.
I have flashed my phone using qcom flasher its a snapdragon 800 device elife e7. Now the problem is I can access internal storage but phone storage is not available means can't save any photo content etc. I tried formatting with twrp but no help. It shows sdcard0 as vfat on adb shell but nothing works. Any help pls. Would be really grateful. Thanks
Formatting always deletes / wipes all data on chosen partition.
I can't format it I don't care about the data . Tried it with twrp but it fails to even mount the storage every other partition is working flawlessly except the Storage/internal SD
Is there any way to partition internal storage through root?
IMO far easier is to reflash phone's Stock ROM.
that didn't fix it
