Has anyone tried partitioning for more app space? - GiONEE Elife E7

Hi,
So since my the Gionee Elife E7 has 32GB of space but only 4 GB is for apps it's quite annoying to delete something all the time.
Has anyone had any luck partitioning ? Took a look at the partition table
Code:
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 67.1MB 134MB 67.1MB fat16 modem
2 134MB 135MB 524kB sbl1

11 406MB 407MB 1573kB modemst2

13 1812MB 6107MB 4295MB ext4 userdata
14 6107MB 6140MB 33.6MB ext4 persist
15 6140MB 6543MB 403MB ext4 cache
16 6543MB 6564MB 21.0MB recovery
17 6564MB 6566MB 1573kB fsg
18 6577MB 6577MB 1024B fsc
19 6577MB 6577MB 8192B ssd
20 6577MB 30.9GB 24.4GB fat32 udisk
21 30.9GB 30.9GB 10.5MB splash
22 30.9GB 31.3GB 322MB grow
The partition 13 "userdata" seems to be the partition for apps and the partition 20 "udisk" is the storage for files only.
Do I need to delete all the partitions from 13 to 20 in order to extend userdata from 4295MB to 8192MB and then proceed to add 14-20 again?
Also if I performed a full backup in twrp and moved it to my PC, is it still risky to do this? Since the recovery partition is between the 13 and 20 as well

Is there a way to create a NAND partition?

As far as I know, there is:
/boot
/bootloader
/userdata
/system
/cache
/recovery
/radio
Is there a way for me to create a new partition on the NAND to which I can write to and from?

[Q] Have 16Gb instead of 32

Hey,
My phone display 16Gb instead of 32Gb !
I had restored my phone multiple times lately because of some things I shouldn't do..
I've a LG G2 D802, get back to stock rom (KOR) rooted but no recovery as I have "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" issue.
So if anyone know how to go back to normal or just install a recovery in order to go under a non stock rom, i'd be glad to follow his advice.
By the way when I go to hardware information on Android I see 32Gb but anywhere else even on PC i see 16Gb (10 actually).
You may want to have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 sounds like you have to install a kdz from a country that uses 32gb G2. I had a similar issue when restoring a stock rom on my G pro once, some kdz files are for 16gb variants.

SM-T530 Nu

I am trying to get us a working custom rom for this tablet. I have downloaded the stock firmware, used kitchen to de-odex system and built a rom, the problem I am running in to is an error in updater script and some other error when flashing. Any help would be appreciated.

hi,
without the actual errors your question reads like this:
HELP !!!!! I flumoxed my combobulator and now the doohickey on my thing-a-ma-whatsit is all floopy ! :crying:
:silly:
Kidding ! okay seriously,
if you can pack you /system as a system.img [not sparse] you can use the following method in your script for installation.
Code:
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print(" rom-test");
ui_print(" by super-dev");
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print("Installing System.....");
show_progress(1, 15);
package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
ui_print("Installing Kernel.....");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Installation complete!");
if you can output a system.img and it is sparse [need linux] the command to change it to ext4 is
simg2img system.img system.img.ext4
then you can rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
the partition layout by ACTUAL mmcblk0p## is : for t530nu;

Redmi 2 pro not working / partitions corrupted (phone bricked ?)

Hello everyone,
Instead of hijacking the topic of gkalen i'am going to expose my problem here, is my phone dead ?!
5 days after installing the miui v7 global rom my phone rebooted and got stuck at Mi logo.
Since then i dont have acces to xiaomi recover only to fastboot mode.
I cant use miflash because i kept getting the following error: [00000AFC]86d6ac8f 0.27 FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)
Mi PC suite isnt working either.
Today i managed to access TWRP recovery and as well adb shell, but installaing via recovery is not working as well and I get the following message:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Same error using adb shell.
So I think the problem is linked to the partitions, let me show you thoses logs:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 /data ext4 rw

/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /persist ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw
/usb-otg vfat rw
Parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p24

I'am getting desesperate, anyone knows how to fix partitions issue ?
Actually i could need some help, if someone would be kind enough to run the following command with adb shell:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
And give me the output, here is mine and I guess i'am missing a few bits...:

Hi,
were you abel to solve your problem or have you received any reply to it? I also think that my internal SD card is corrupted and to install a new ROM I have to set it up again. I always get the following error messagre if I want to flash it with Mi-flash
"remote: failed to write partition" .
If I check it with fastboot in detail, I miss the partition with the name "partition". This is the first one which is flashed, but I do not have.
My phone is 2014813.
I hope somebody may help me.
Hello,
did any of you ever get this fixed ? Would be nice to hear the solution because I am faced with the same problem unfortunatly....
tia !
Did anyone here fixed this issue? Or is it hardbricked forever?
I never was able to repair it unfortunatly.
