i successfully did this although now I cannot use link2sd to move apps from internal to external card, the ext4 partition doesn't seem to allow the data to move onto it
 
Ok I need help I posted how to do ony Redmi note pro and was given void.fstab by mmmnnn111 here is thread

xiaomi.eu/community/threads/how-to-swap-defult-storage-to-xternal-sd-card.25126/#post-217909

But it's not fully functional and in storage it dose not look like anything has changed also after reboot downloads still goto internal storage I know folder mount works but o just want help to get it working without messing around with folder Mont.

In Chinese Miui.com there are lots of custom Roma with switched storage and most Roms have tab in settings allowing easally swap it back and forth from internal to external swap I and my beta team members have been trying but we can't get fully functional swaped storage allowing us to download to sd card

It would be really good to solve this problem even if it means loose this emulated storage and replace it back to the hongmi style storage, at Least hongmi device storage worked nicely, now my Redmi note pro needs this modd

Thanks guys any help will be most gratefully

hi this is the first time i write in forum, i believe im correct on this, please advise if im wrong in the guide.

1) root your device thus you granted access to view system file and edit
2) copy vold.fstab in system /etc and rename the original as old.vold.fstab in case you edit wrongly.
3) change the mount device sequence in vold.fstab file from



to this, basically swapping the A to B and B to A.



4) set permission to the file to rw-r--r-- which is chmod 644 vold.fstab in unix command or if there are any software that allow you to change permission using GUI please use it.
5) save and reboot phone.


can i do this on my redmi note?
 
No dose not work i have tried also some other devs have tried with no success i think its the emulated storage making a problem
yeah i think so, is emulated same as internal storage? i just see it from fx file explorer

its looks like we dont have any chance to do that haha

Hi! I have this (internal memory replaced by SD) in my system - I have RedmiExperience 4.3.2

I try update to ROM miuiportugal_RedRice_4.10.24_AIO_Signed but problems starting...

If I update and do the process again (replace internal memory by SD after update) the system works fine?
Thank you
 
i did this and it works but when i want to flash a new rom TRWP doesn't allow me to mount the SD Card so i cannot flash anything... I delete my ROM and cannot flash a new one!

help is much appreciated!
 
@ Lanky
You have always an option to use miflash. Then you will back to stock miui, with miui recovery. Also, all data on the intetnal storage will be wiped. Besides, there is v. 45 now, works far better than v24

Replace file vold.fstab in the folder system /etc and set permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot your phone...

PS: You have to insert your SD card before...

Do this method works even in MIUI v6 (kit kat) without any other trick?
