[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
system partition size reduced, Please somebody solve my issue

Honorable forum members,

i can't explain my problem more detailed than this and attached logs and screenshots

I am having a problem with my redmi 1s since 4 days (reporting daily to everybody and every thread i know, Now i came to some conclusion *from my point of view*) i.e., System partition size reduced ( due to "My fault" of trying to expand system storage). Now i

can't flash any custom rom on my phone. (Except CM11)

. I'm getting an error, i.e.,

1. strucks at - "Patching system image unconditionally"

2. and some times it gives me an error "E/system unable mount" and breaks operation here.

I was using CM14.1 official rom till 12th of this month ( So no need to doubt about proper installing of custom rom). As i'm unable to install any custom rom on my phone (tried CM12,13,14,14.1, RR, AICP). Then i tried MIUI. Surprisingly I can install MIUI from recovery (works well) but not from fastboot (by fastboot, after installation strucks at Mi Logo, wiping cache and dalvik cache doesn't work too). ***Another big wonder is that i'm able to install CM11 (works well but not used gapps)***. I think my phone no longer upgrades from Kitkat. Is it true?

And an important thing i forgot that: my phone in fastboot is not getting detected by MiFlash versions which are earlier than 18.05.2016. But getting detected by fastboot command in android sdk platform-tools.

Then after several research and several suggestions from some honorable forum members i found that (may be) the problem is with system partition. i.e., My system partition size decreased. It was my fault. I tried to increase my system partition to install aroma gapps (in the need of OK Google voice recognition from any screen and due to some google apps were creating a lot of cache) using a thread on increasing system partition size from our forum (not to specify). Then i realized that i'm not the one who can modify anything on somebody Else's rom- as after receiving a update, it took one after another all the google apps from me.

Then i used revert back flash file from the same thread, but it took something extra along with my some of my phones original system partition size. Tried restoring backup but not worked.

While installing custom rom it strucks at " patching system image unconditionally" (waited every time at least an hour), as i'm not being able to do anything, so i restart my phone. Then when i try again it gives me an error "E/System unable to mount". Then if i try to wipe or resize or repair nothing works gives same error. But if i format using f2fs and then again using ext4, then i can mount system partition in MOUNT in twrp (also tried Philz recovery and CM recovery- same issue). After Mounting when i try to install again it strucks at " patching system image unconditionally". So same cycle continues. But when i try to insatll MIUI or CM11 it works fine -after mounting system partiton ( not even takes command i.e., " patching system image unconditionally" in terminal).

Also i tried to flash the rom using adb sideload strucks at 45%, checked the rom file whether corrupted by extracting and for exact rom redownloaded. But there is no improvement.

Maybe Because of this I'm not being able to flash any custom rom on my device anymore. I've took some recovery log files and some screenshots from recovery of my phone. Here below i'm attaching them.

Finally i would like to inform you that

i) i'm using latest recovery- twrp 3.0.2-1,

ii)and latest firmware- v8.1.2.0. (used whichever firmware required for every rom).

iii) Now i'm using global stable MIUI v8.1.2.0

So now i request you all to please help me in installing a custom rom on my Redmi 1s.
