Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage

what you mean by move? cut or copy?

you mean all the files inside the internal? or the DATA folder in internal only?

or you mean all the files in SDcard i should moved it in 0 folder that i made?



please be specific, i dont want any risky moves

Skipped "copy all to SD" part, stuck in bootloop

Can anyone send me files which should be on SD to flawless boot? I'll copy it from PC and try again.... I think.

I have found that a newer superSU version makes this mod impossible to work. (v 1.94 is ok)
tried ....everything. ones supersu is updated it wont swap at next boot.

any thoughts??

    For stock 4.3 with Locked bootloader

    It's better unlock it, but there is another way.

    1. Get root
    2. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
    3. Get init.d support using this app: press there activate and then verify
    4. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
    5. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
    6. download the zip and extract it to system/etc/init.d
    7. Set permissions to file with all 9 ticks
    8. Reboot

    Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
    Just check using filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
    It's must be swapped:

    – External memory now linked to internal 2 GB
    – Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0

    For stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader

    1. Install CWM recovery via flashtool: tutorial
    2. Get root by flashing via recovery SuperSU.zip
    3. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
    4. Get init.d support using this app: press there Enable init.d
    5. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
    6. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
    7. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below

    Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
    Just check using filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
    It's must be swapped:

    – External memory now linked to internal 2 GB
    – Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0

    For CyanogenMod 11 and other 4.4

    1. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
    2. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below

    – External memory as before linked to actual sdcard
    – Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
    – No access to real 2 GB internal memory

    Video tutorial for stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader from me

    If you will follow this video be aware.
    For init.d support install APK provided on YouTube, NOT app with almost same name form Google Play: Universal init.d

    @Bonoboo for a more simple tutorial
    @zeyad xu for finding this
    @xda people for trying
    also for @raffie_archildz the man who made this

    1. Create an Ext4 partition in your microSD with "Mini Tool Partition Wizard" ( you can search tutorial in google)
    2. Install Link2sd and create mount script (EXT4)
    3. reboot
    4. Open Link2sd and select apk > menu> Create link
    5. Done
    Never use MSC mode (USB Mass Storage) for connecting to PC!
    This can mess up data your files. Use only MTP!
    Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB Connection mode > Media transfer mode (MTP)

    TIP:

    For those of you like me, who have a motherlode in their sdcard and would like to save their time:

    1. (Optional) Connect your phone in MSC Mass storage mode
    2. Create folder called "0" (zero without quotes) in your sdcard.
    3. Move entire contents of your sd to the 0 folder so that only the 0 folder remains on the root of sdcard.
    4. Copy the init.d script and reboot
    5. Rejoice with your saved data and time :p

    hmm
    it is clear
    format your sd
    push that file to etc init.d folder with the permission
    and reboot
    make sure that you have UB and cwm and 4.3
    as simple as blinking
