How to make full DD Backup from your Nokia X/XL?
How to make full DD Backup from your Nokia X/XL?
Part 1: Information:
Nokia X/XL have 3.9 GB EMMC Storage (26 Partition), System is 560 MB , Data is 1.1 GB and Internal Storage is 1.2 GB.Nokia X/XL Partitions & Blocks:
Nokia X Partitions & Blocks:
by looking to this table, we don't know about These Partitions (p1-p2-p4-p5-p6-p7-p8-p9-p10-p11-p12-p13-p15-p20-p24-p26) Mounts, So before doing anything YOU HAVE TO BACKUP Them
The Main idea of Re-partitioning:
Increasing some partitions size by decreasing some others, WITHOUT dealing with any partition we don't know.
So you can control size of: System - Cache -Data - Storage - Preload
Open my Partitions Table Here and look:
I have two MODs:
1- 2.30 GB Data With 150MB.
2- 950 MB System + 2.30 GB Data With 150MB.
In these MODs i didn't chanced any partition size except ones i have marked.
How to Calculate Size of Any partition?
End - Start = Total (Number of blocks)
Total * 8 = Blocks (Size in Blocks)
Blocks / 1024 = Size in MB
Editing Partitions Sizes:
In order to edit any partition size you need to delete all partitions before it.
Ex. To edit Storage (p21) i have to delete partitions from p26 to p21.
Then you'll create them again with modified sizes.
The next step is set each partition ID like table (YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANY ID)
Final step is Syncing Partitions table & Apply changes.
Lets GO !
You'll need to:
- Choose MOD you'll do as you like. (But READ the two before DOING ANYTHING)
MOD 1: Increase Data Size to 2.30 GB
We'll Re-partition (p21 & p22) with sizes in above picture, to make Data 2.30 GB & Internal Storage 150 MB - Check Page 2 in Partition Table.
A-Preparing:
1- Copy whole data from Internal Storage to SD Card or PC
