dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host

# MTP

‪#‎dev_mount‬ sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

^^ see those last 3 lines? Make it like this;

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

‎dev_mount‬ sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host

The only thing you need to do is to swap the line from "/devices/etc..." from those lines. See the difference? Tried it on all of my android phones and tablets. The only problem I you'll encounter is slow response if you have a lower class sdcard. Best is to buy a "Class 10" sd card.

For kit kat...how can we do it....

I got a class 10 16gb SD card. I hope this works. I'll try today and update you

Hi I tried that but it still doesn't make my SD card my default storage
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
Man please this can be done in kit kat...????? Sorry my questions
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Jakirul:
yes i got kitkat
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
sorry man , but were can I find... to make this changes ...I use the root explorer

.. and I go to etc....but I dont find.....
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Jakirul:
Go find a folder called system then etc then scroll down and find a file called vold.fstab
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
sorry man but in kit kat doesn't exist vold.fstab...

I dont find it ...
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Jakirul:
Hi as i said before, i tried that and i restarted my phone but my storage is still at the normal storage rather than the sd card's storage
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
Yes I now , and I think is for kit kat ...not jelly been.....???????
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tlayn:
When you restarted your phone and checked the "vold.fstab' did it changed or reverted to its original line? I am also assuming you have root access. Paste the "vold.fstab" again here and make sure that the card is inserted when you turn the phone on so the "vold.fstab" would update while the sd card is inserted. I only used my ES explorer to edit my vold.fstab. Also make sure that after you close it, open it again to make sure that it was edited.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
But it can't be done in android kitkat....there are any way to do the same ???I have google and I dont found nothing....help please.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tlayn:
Not in /system/etc/ ? try asking the creator of the rom. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

It can't be done because you can't see the /system/etc or you can't edit the vold.fstab?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
Yes,the kitkat dont see the vold.fstab ....or dont exist...I have the HDC note 4 ...the rom is in needrom...

I now that it have to edit the scatter file but I do not now how....
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tlayn:
But you can see the /system/etc folder and its content or no? If no then you do not have the permission and it's hidden.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
The kitkat android doesnt have or is hiden...there are another way to do the same ...but the problem is how !!!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] tlayn:
You need root permission. Try ES file explorer, download it from google play.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] bodyjoao:
I have root permission, I use ES file....can you put some pictures..to see....thanks man...

LG P990 switch int/ext SD cards

Hello,

please did anybody tried this with LG Optimus 2x (P990)? Im currently using CM 10.1 and i noticed that it somehow changed partitions (in settings it shows that internal SD card has capacity of 5,34 GB) so im kinda worried it would mess up something. My vold.fstab file contain this:

#######################
## Regular device mount
##
## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>
## label - Label for the volume
## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted
## part - Partition # (1 based), or 'auto' for first usable partition.
## <sysfs_path> - List of sysfs paths to source devices
######################
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto [B]/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1[/B]
dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard 9 [B]/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0[/B]

To swap the SDs i have to swap the bold parts from the code above, right?

Thanks!

[Other Tools & General Discussion] mdrodge:
Can anyone here advice me please.

I'm trying to rewrite my vold.fstab to move a usb hdd (UDISK0) to internal (sdcard)

I have a cheap rk30sdk TV Stick i would like to put a USB HDD as the internal memory.

The device is Kitkat and i cant write to external sd even with the permissions added so setting the USB to external Sd would not help.

This will allow me to keep this HDD synchronised with Synology DS Cloud.

In effect i am turning a "PATRIOT GAUNTLET Portable wireless enclosure" in to a Synology NAS drive.(or at least sync with one)

I've tried swapping the text around but haven't had it working yet.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] mdrodge:
I fixed it!!!!

If you put # in front of the internal line.

I changed the lable from udisk0 to flash and the location from "mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0" to "mnt/sdcard"

The other problem is making sure that the device has the correct format (vfat or ext4 e.t.c not ntfs)

I think that's about it but I'm only half finished.

I've got an 8gb usb stick working.

Now time for the 4tb....

Could you tell me what could I change to switch SDcard as an Internal card ?

Thanks a lot, I really don't know what to do ! :(
[Other Tools & General Discussion] :
Hi! It's been a long while I checked this thread. Nonetheless, your script is unusual. What remembered this specific hack work only for JB. But there are some threads that I have read just recently that they managed to switch internal and external for latest Android version but their tutorials are not clear which is which to change. Sorry about that if I coudn't help you.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] :
Possible swap for Kitkat and Lollipop. Please check the link below. This might resolve everyone's predicament. Though I tried it on my LG L Fino running Android 4.4.2 but it wasn't successful. Though there is a risk upon installation of Xposed that it might cause soft brick or bootloop. But if you can manage to recover your device from bootloop then just go ahead. Don't forget to make a backup of your system before doing this tutorial. Good Luck!

resetting the swap

Hello

I followed the SWAP SD INTERNAL TO SD EXTERNAL on Sony Xperia J Procedure but I was not successful.

When I reboot the Sony Xperia J it stay stacked on the "XPERIA" blinking screen.

As I have no access to the file system, can you tell me how can I delete the edited vold.fstab file and rename the vold.fstab.old file as vold.fstab and reboot my phone.

Thank you
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Techno'CRACKS':
If the phone is not booting you cannot edit the file, if you have nandroid backup restore it, else flash the same rom you had without erasing data, so that your data will not be lost.

Power off your device by removing battery.

Insert the battery and boot in recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time.

Release all buttons when the Sony Xperia J screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.

By default the system partition will be mounted as 'READ ONLY' you have to change it to "READ/WRITE' as you are making changes to System files or else your changes will not be saved. See the screenshot attached it has a 'Mount R/W' button just hit it.

you do not want to find out what happens. it definitely does not switch your drives, it will brick your machine and you will never be able to fix it without a replacement, please take it from someone who fell for this bull****.

THE DAMAGE YOU CAN CAUSE IS IRREVERSABLE.. not only does it cause your android to freeze at the loading screen but it also takes away the option to boot into recovery mode and connect to a computer to flash the drive.
