Root with this Upadte_Kinguser.zip modded and get some extras!

[persona78]

Hi!
<<<<<<<The END of low storage>>>>>

I test it in L11 with B370 kit kat factory ROM. From 0.

!!!!Attencion!!!! 3G device users, read pinned post, you need to install SuperSU.zip first than this KingUser.zip to root OR WILL FAIL!!!!
In the step when you will install kinguser.zip change for this one, see the default tutorial here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/huawei.g6.development/permalink/578005512358705/

You need a primary external ext4 partition in sd card with the size you think you need for apps.
To create a primary ext4 partition in sd card with the size you want, you can use mini partition tool (for windows OS ).

Need bootloader Unlocked:

Need a custom recovery, i use TWRP for my L11, U models use more CWM, you can find it in G6SKnife.
Must have Windows OS to use G6SKnife:

Than i modded this Kinguser flash zip that:
-Roots
-create a working init.d folder where you can store your scripts that will be executed on boot
-it will install busybox apk ( it need it to install some system tools )
- Rashr to change recoverys with the phone ( only need to have the images in sd card )
- It will automatically send all apps to your external ext4 partiton in sd card IF you have one!!!!

How to do it!!!!??????

READ IT CARFULL:

If you already have apps in phone do backup, use the phone default app for that.

Copy this zip to sd card:
UPDATE-Kinguser-3.4.0-Modded.zip
https://mega.nz/#!rhRknYDJ

Key:
!tnT9KAYOOcuSNm9eq7AcW_PHc2p-C4wjvssNI4IHAMU

Turn off and go to recovery ( TWRP or CWM ) by pressing at same time vol + and power.
Do a factory reset.
Go to install and search the UPDATE-Kinguser-3.4.0-Modded.zip and install it. The phone will reboot.

( A) After settings go to KingUser and open it to check if is ok than go back, open busybox, give root permissions, it will take some time seraching for old files than install it!!!!
( you will need this tools )

Reboot, and is done.

If you start from flash is the same process.

Now your apps go all to sd card.

Thank you very much persona78 for your continued efforts to help out your fellow G6 users!

I followed your instructions with partial success (see below).

Some notes during this process:

1. To obtain unlock key I had to visit http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail The URL you posted does not work anymore and it also seems that the unlocker is only available in Chinese right now, however Google Translate does a good job!

2. To obtain the serial number I dialed *#*#2846579159#*#*, then menu "VeneerInfoQuery", then "OtherQuery", there I found the S/N number and also IMEI (which can also be obtained in settings / about phone)

3. The model I had to enter on the website was "HUAWEI P7 mini", not "HUAWEI G6-L11", corresponding to the text in settings / about phone.

4. I used Linux fastboot to unlock and flash your TWRP2d.img

5. In TWRP I flashed UPDATE-Kinguser-3.4.0-Modded.zip

Root works and the other apps are installed. Busybox installation was successful as well. I did not test with ext4 partition on SD card yet.

Thanks again!

Today I tried the ext4 sdcard feature. It works as expected. Some comments:

1. You do not need a sdcard reader on your PC to change the sdcard partitioning. You can also use the phone itself by connecting via USB and selecting "Mass storage" mode. Then you can use the partitioning tool on the drive (I used gparted on Linux). Note that mass storage mode will also show the "sdcard"/media part of the internal ram as a separate drive but this is not partitionable.

2. Why do you mount both app and app-lib into the same directory? Will there be no name clashes? I would rather suggest you do:

mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:66 /data/sdext4
mkdir -p /data/sdext4/app /data/sdext4/app-lib
mount -o bind /data/sdext4/app /data/app
mount -o bind /data/sdext4/app-kib /data/app-lib

3. In your description of the mod you should mention that it changes the minimum scaling frequency.

4. I suggest you use this Busybox package: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=busybox&fdid=ru.meefik.busybox
It is much faster in installation, and 100% free software

Thanks again!
