[Sony Xperia L] Amstro:
Lol was about to report you when i received an email notification about this thread, it didn't showed the 'warning' part.

Anyway, i really want to try and make this work, since i can't install a bunch of apps on my Xperia L, though it's not my daily driver i use it to flash some ROMs on it every now and then. The problem is i don't find the instructions very clear. Also i'm running Resurrection Remix ROM and i've read somewhere online that re-partitioning the two internal memories only works on stock kernel and ROMs, is there any truth to that? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
1. This method is verry unsave and after that you can never ever flash stockrom (because then you get a hardbrick)

2. if you do any mistake => hardbrick

3. last warning... Leads to lot of hardbricks (look around in this thread)

So now for real... I recommend you to use either link2sd or foldermount instead ... Its better then doing THIS
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
for those who ARE STILL ABLE TO ACESS FASTBOOTMODE AND RECOVERY please PM me....

for others: sorry no hope atm
[Sony Xperia L] hemskie:
noob question here how do i enter in adb shell? i should run cmd in pc? thx in advance
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
Yes. Yes.

BUT DON'T DO THIS. This will brick your phone. Even if you succeed during the process of repartitioning, you can never flash the stock rom again! you may don't understand this right now, but sometimes it is needed to flash the stock rom, even you hate the stock rom! If you Read all the posts in this thread, I'm sure you will reconsider doing this. a lot of XL users lost their phone to this including myself and OP himself.

Repartitioning is a very dangerous subject even in a PC build. If it goes wrong, you will lost your windows/OS and your data on the hard drive. In the phones world, what you will lost is the bootloader partitions that are specific to your phone. so when you lost those partitions, you can't just reinstall them like you would with windows.
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
Same here don't try this unless you are very very willing to risk to your phone. It can brick your device permanently (I lost mine)
[Sony Xperia L] leo1bboy:
Its Over.

My Xperia was booting in recovery, fastboot and flashmode before that.

After restoring your backup, my phone is dead. Don´t power on in any mode.

I think that each phone must have your own backup, cant recovery from another one.
[Sony Xperia L] vadim.bc:
Hi, SdtBarbarossa. That is my case: I can access recovery (Philz touch), fastboot and adb still work. I wanted to restore the partition table from the mmcblk0.IMG posted by Kahana82, but later in the thread I saw a post that it bricks the device forever.

So what should I do? Any advice is appreciated.

You can pm me to vadim.bc@gmail.com.

Thanks .

[Sony Xperia L] pchatzop:
Is there another approach to this issue possible? I read that some devices had their data+sdcard partitions merged for the correct installation of lollipop and marshmallow roms. Is it possible to do this to the xperia l by a custom recovery script and probably a custom kernel? Emulated sdcard is pretty much the norm nowadays.

Hard bricked phone...

I followed all the steps of this tutorial, I tried to increase the userdata size with 2560MB and ended up having a hard bricked phone. :(

I've been on CM13, I've performed the steps while being in TWRP recovery. After all the steps I tried to wipe everything but I got back an error saying .secure_android is missing or something like that. After that I tried to flash CM13 to start with a fresh install, it failed complaining about missing /system and things like that. Then I tried to recover my TWRP backup of CM13, it seemed to work, after that I wiped all the caches and rebooted and this was the last thing my phone did. It is now unable to start up in any kind of way so it is a definite hard brick... :(

I strongly recommend everyone to avoid using this method until someone can tell me what went wrong in my case...

So my L will never wake up if i flash stock firmware through flashtool after this modification? No solutions? What's the reason for it? And if I flash the stock rom with .zip type? Thanks. :)

1. if me change sdcard, rom in my phone

2. if me wipe all, FReset

[Sony Xperia L] The Sinbad:
I tried this method a month ago and it worked and it was great for me:fingers-crossed:, but 2 days ago I had a problem with my custom rom and I don't know why I decided to flash the stock rom again.:D

I totally forgot about the warning mentioned at the beginning of this thread . :silly:

now my xperia l is bricked and I don't know what to do . Please, anyone help me :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] AndroGeek17:
Has anyone successfully did this modification? After reading so many posts regarding " expanding the /data partition " , I fear that the risks of permanently bricking the device are very high. If the partition is not formatted properly , the device gets completely bricked. No Flashmode , No Fastboot mode , no recovery. So I just want to request op to mention all the prerequisites including " recovery (specific version) , initial rom , etc." and some more clarifications about things we can do after that such as " can we use the custom rom of our choice or we have to stick to a specific one? Is it possible to restore the original image or not? And any other risks involved. "

Please dont mind me asking too many questions , but i just dont want to lose my device. So help me guys. Thanks !!!
[Sony Xperia L] AndroGeek17:
Help me !!!

Hey, did it really work ? I'm afraid if something goes wrong , i would lose my mobile. Since this thread is very old , OP won't reply now. Can you tell me the procedure you followed ? Also the ROM and RECOVERY with specific versions. Is it possible to use any ROM of our choice once done with it?
[Sony Xperia L] AndroGeek17:
Thank you for the advice

Thank you for the advice but i still have one doubt. Even if I have the backup of mmblk0 , once the SDcard0 is formatted incorrectly ; the mobile gets bricked completely. There is no way to connect it in fastboot / flashmode. So can you tell me , what can i do in such situation??

Thanks!!

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

After reading so many posts , i've come to realize that the chances of bricking the device are very very high. so can you please suggest some solution for this hard-brick problem. Computer does not discover the device. There is no fastboot mode, no flashmode. Please help us. Thank you !!!
[Sony Xperia L] Kahana82:
I'm sorry but I can't hep you out ... I bricked mine when trying to unbrick someones phones here in the thread with the mmblk0 image

(I mistyped a command and it saved the data somewhere on the chip instead of the SD-Card)

My advise is that if you're not knowing what you're doing with all those low level Unix/Linux commands, to not even start.
[Sony Xperia L] The Sinbad:
It worked like magic without any problems but you must stay on a custome rom after this and never flash your stock rom again or you will corrupt your eMMC like what happend with me
[Sony Xperia L] sudokamikaze:
This for people that don't have hard bricked phones:

If you done with this, you may flash STOCK ROM! BUT

Exclude partitions.sin then flash, but if you didn't do this - hardbrick :D

Or make stock firmware that already exlcuded stock partition table

[Dell Venue] speculatrix:
edit: NOW ON SALE - see last post

here's the link to Dell's page:

http://www.dell.com/us/p/dell-venue-10-5050-tablet/pd?ref=PD_OC

This was announced about a month ago (Feb 2015) and it looks like it should be a really decent tablet with keyboard dock; apparently it'll have an Atom CPU, only the Windows version gets a core-M CPU ;-(

I've not seen any official date when it'll be available, other than "Spring", and an unofficial price of US$350 with keyboard. The "reviews" say it will be available with 1280x800 display and 1080p as an option, though I suspect it'll only be the windows version which will have a 1080p option. Maybe too there will be a version with 4G/LTE.

In some ways it sounds very much like the Asus Transformer TF303CL, which is sadly not available in the UK, it costs about US$380

If anyone has any concrete information to share, please post it, as I am ready to throw some money at a nice tablet + dock system

thanks!
[Dell Venue] speculatrix:
Still no concrete news as to the launch date.

I am also worried that the Venue 10 pro with Windows will be a much better spec and the Android version slightly crippled ;-(

It'd be nice to get the windows version and put android on it!

I can see myself smacking my head against the table already from saying that.... lol, not.

I think that the "LTE" in the GPS and proximity specs seem to be an error, as the spec specifically says no mobile broadband.

The spec doesn't say what the battery is, chances are same as the Windows tablet, a 2-cell 32WHr Battery

Hello, Is there any newer version of this for 7.1.1?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Well as I was going typically crazy to get back the actual Silent mode on LP builds and wasn't able to find anything I stumbled upon this settings, and this setting I think shadows the real Silent mode. I don't know if this how its supposed to be or just a bug, but this is working for me rather well now.

Steps are extremely simple too, follows as,

1- Just make sure all the three options under priority interruptions are untouched, Events, Calls, Messages all of them (because if you enable these the device will vibrate according to the selected notifications)

2- Put the device in Vibrate mode (Sound-Vibrate)

3- Then hit on the Priority Only option in notification toggles, the bloody Green Star will show, and it will say Vibrate(Priority) under Sound tab.

4- If you use Light Manager app control LED like me then put that app under Priority mode [Settings- Device- Sounds and notifications- Application notifications- Scroll down to select Light Manager app and set as Priority] [This step is must, not optional]

5- Now go to Light Manager's Advanced settings, scroll down and you will see an option labelled as Wake Screen (Wake up screen while generating LED notification), you MUST enable/tick this option, IF you want your phone's screen to turn on on every notification. If you don't tick this option the screen won't turn on for notifications, but the LED will keep blinking nevertheless, if you do Step 4 that is.

So Step 4 and Step 5 are MUST.

Done.

Now when you receive a text message your screen will turn on and there will be no vibration, no sound (obviously, still) and even if you miss the screen turning up then the LED will keep blinking. This is how actual Silent mode works, or used to work, all along.

This is just a small video in case, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYsQYV4rRiQ&feature=youtu.be

Do comment if I am wrong in anywhere above, and if it works the same for you.

Cheers,

and Respect Privacy, ALWAYS :o
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Yeah, you mean when I play a song right? Yes, it stays like that. When you control your volume when music is being played then only media volumes are affected, so notification volumes don't change, but that's how it is for pretty long time anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
Nice find, no "true" silent mode was a bit annoying. Not a fan of priority mode and waiting for 5.1 to get silent mode while using this half baked silent mode that comes with 0B6 was gonna be troublesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Someguyfromhell:
OB6 has Silent mode already under the sound button.

Also, why set to Priority only, if you can set to "No interruptions", which is same as unticking all and setting to "Priority only"?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
Yeah but that isn't "true" silent mode, screen doesn't wake on notifications and no LED.

As for no interruptions, that would make everything silent, including alarms, so that is a deal breaker for many.

Those 2 are the reason why this workaround is best for users who want "true" silent mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
LOL it seems like I have forgotten to mention the most important step, I mean the step which causes the screen to turn on for notifications, and it has nothing to do with the firmware either, its all in the Light Manager app.

I freshly flashed a ROM, so while resetting up stuffs I understood that I have missed to mention the most important step. Added to OP as 5th point, if you don't do this step then the screen will NOT turn on for incoming texts etc., but if you do this step the screen will turn on for anything, even WhatsApp messages and all, which wasn't the case even in KitKat or previous iterations. Thanks to the dev of Light Manager app for adding this great option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
I'm having a bit of an issue with my phone.

I was running alliance ROM build 30 since it was released. A week or so ago i wanted to try cm12. So I flashed octos.

It flashed fine and it runs fine, but I still can't seem to "get into" asop. Just seem to keep wanting touch whiz again.

So I went to restore my backup of alliance and it fails right away. I'm using philz recovery. I've also tried twrp and no change.

So I went to do a clean install of alliance and it flashed fine, but it won't boot. It hangs at the boot screen.

So I tried to flash another touch whiz ROM and it did the same thing. Just won't boot.

But it does not boot loop, it justs gets to the boot animation and stays there until I take out the battery.

So far I'm able to get any asop ROM to work fine, but only one touchwhiz. And even then the touchwhiz ROM was really slow and force closed apps a lot (maybe the ROM, maybe not, I'm not sure).

So any help is greatly appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrol:
You should have just used a custom kernel. It would boot with AGNI fine. My phone is doing the same thing yours was, IE not booting touchwiz roms. AGNI always works to have it boot correctly. Now, though, you have a different problem which is you probably flashed the wrong ODIN file and might have bricked the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
I've used this odin file before with success though.

I couldn't find any files to download at first, but then I remembered that I had them on my computer still from a long time ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redrol:
I figured out if you load MochaDrizzle ROM, then after booted, download the app called FOLDERMOUNT. Run it with root access and it will 'fix' a broken permission. Next load Int-SDCard Writer and hit the Download (extra fix) button and then Fix Me buttons. THen reboot. Now you should be able to re-load stock roms and have them boot.
