Hi
I am on Xperia Z1, rooted, locked bootloader, .757, SDFix access fix, with dual recovery. I have an app call Link2SD and it requires to have a second partition on my sd card. They said to use a software called MiniTool... My question is, how do I proceed to partition my SD card without breaking anything like the installed Dual Recovery?

partitioning your SD card will not break dual recovery
However, I think you may find link2sd wont work on Z1
I never managed to get it to work on any FW with my Z1
and TBH, I don't really find the need for it anymore. I used it on my x10 and Xperia T but I have never run out of space yet on my z1

I've successfully partitioned my SD Card with secondary primary parition set to ext2. Link2SD (linking) works except it doesn't link Android/data/ and Android/obb/ I 've contacted the developer to ask about it.

got any reply/solution from developer?
Well the next two days he provided the update to paid users for the /data part. But apparently /obb not yet. He briefly explained to me /obb is complicated because it is not linkable natively.
Hi MrLascivious,
How do you handle to get link2sd working in your phone?
I have an Xperia Z1 compact (original stock, kitkat 4.4.4 and rooted, bootloader lock), but link2sd can´t even mount the second partition.
It says: "App2SD is not supported by your device...."
Any idea?

I am not sure about your Z1 compact. I only have Z1 and KitKat 4.4.2. Have you tried asking the developer of link2sd? Mine found the partition so everything was straightforward as I remember.

Previously I installed the exfat patch for the xperia z, today I flash my phone by recustomizing to Spain and preformed flash with PCC the root was deleted but the exfat remain untouched 4.2.2
Can any one check whether the exfat is natively supported by xperia z other way it is weird?
on leaked 403 4.2.2 ExFat was native supported!
i dont have unlocked bootloader
Official 4.2.2 aka 423 released today. You don't need unlocked bootloader for that.

Well, I am not asking whether I need unlocked boot loader to update to 4.2.2
BUT my question: does sony's official 4.2.2 natively support exfat
Yes. You do not need any patch.
I have both Z and SP, and both recognize 64GB microSD cards natively. (both formatted the card as exFat)

if you read the thread where the ftf was posted then it pretty much confirms exfat is supported natively now

Might be a stupid question, but what would be the best mnethod to apply exFAT to my SD which was FAT32 before upgrade to 4.2.2? - If I simply format the SD via settings-storage (after backup of data stored on it) will that automatically change the file system to exFAT or should I use an external SD card reader instead?
Btw, I was a bit surprised that I lost most of my data (at least everything, except media files and OpenStreet maps) on my SD after update to 4.2.2 via flashtool. Maybe during the update process the SD card (internal/external) was automatically re-formatted? DiskInfo says both internal and external SD use ext4. Whatever that means exactly (and I might miss the point or a threat I didn't find in which this is discussed), but I'm asking myself what the real advantages would be to switch at least external SD from ext4 to exFAT?
Is it possible?
Really struggling with space on my Z1 right now.

No, this has been mentioned a few times. You need to have root to be able to install apps on SD. Once you root you can use Folder Mount or GL to SD

And even if sony would add the feature like samsung and some others did
For example on the sgs4 you can put apps on sd but it will only add the .apk to your sd (i gues you have some heavy games that use your space)
The .obb files still will be on internal sd
So i guess the only way is using foldermoun(or something like that) but that will need root
But keep in mind if you root your phone and don't unlock the bl and you have some problems with the phone and flash stock rom trough xperiatool you will have guarantee

I have never actually used the function myself, but there is a thread dedicated to the topic:

From what I found you might have to use this fix for it to work.
Anyone make link2sd run on fw 9.2.a.1.210 or 2.5?
I'm not able to, i tried every type of partition, fat32, ext2, ext3. After that link2sd creates script and reboot, xperia v does bootloop

Same for me here (good thing I used the forum search before posting). It worked flawlessly under the Android 4.1 firmware, but after updating to 4.3, it does not anymore. Creating the boot script caused bootloops. And now, after using the phone without the script, link2sd cannot create one anymore (not exactly sure why). I guess we have to wait for 4.4 to give it another shot
No available internal memory, no new app but yes update
Hi there, I would to link at this thread to solve a critic problem on my rooted phone (lt25i)
Link2sd correct install. Everythings work correctly.
BUT
When new apps rise to the amout of space about the internal memory, Android 4.3 think there isn't space to get any new app, indeed updates are allowed.
I have almost 600mb free in the internal memory.
How to bypass this code?
Thankyou so much to anyone answer and want to beat this freedomless of jellybean.
Hi everyone!
I wanted to put some big apps on my SD card, and I thought I can use Link2SD for this, like I have succesfully done it on my old HTC Desire HD.
Today I tryed the same as with my old phone, but it ends with a bootloop. So maybe someone can help me to use it on my XZR.
First of all I rooted my Xperia ZR with Towelroot succesful, then installed supersu. Everything works well. Bootloader is still closed.
After that I partitionated my SD Card like on the old phone. 2 GB should be enough for the sdext partition I want to use with link2sd. I formatted it with 4ext system.
Now I installed link2sd and make the mount script and made a reboot ------> Bootloop!
I deleted the made partiton to solve the bootloop and deinstalled link2sd, So I can use my ZXR again. But I need space in intern memory.
What can I do? Does Link2SD dont work with Xperia ZR?
This was the reason of root, to run such a programm. Maybe someone can help me.
Greatings Lemmi.
Dear Lemmi,
you are not the only one with this problem. My Xperia V also goes into bootloop since 4.3 (before it worked fine). However, using the search I found the following fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/general/towel-root-steps-to-root-t2789990
I did not try it yet, but others did and it sounds very promising. If you had luck with that, just post it here or there so other users can profit from that information

Are there any other method to install apps in external sd?

In desperate need for Link2SD on ZR, is there a way?
How to get Link2SD to work:
When you have root install the remount reboot fix befor you try to make the boot script with link2sd!!!!! After installing the fix it will work fine!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...b-definitive-root-remount-reboot-fix-t2317432
Thats as far i know the only and easyiest way to get Link2SD running on Xperia ZR
Apparently it fixed my problem. I owe you my life. THANKS!
is there anyway to make link2sd work if i installed reboot-remount fix after creating the boot script with link2sd?
as i didn't know about reboot fix, so i installed link2sd first and created the boot script.and as a result it goes into bootloop.then i came across the reboot fix.but after successfully applying the reboot fix, it's still not working.goes into bottloop.i tried both ext2, ext3 parition.
phone : xperia ZR (4.4.4 rooted) stock recover,rom,kernel.locked bootloader.
Dear All ,
I have searched XDA , there is some information on Link2SD here and there , but no specific thread about Link2Sd and Lollipop 5.0.2 on Xperia Z/ZR/ZL , so decided to open one.
I have Xperia ZR (C5502) , Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with Locked Bootloader.
Busybox Installed , SuperSU installed and everything works fine.But unable to use Link2SD , the same issue ..........bootloop after creating a double partion in SD Card (1st ----- exfat 2nd------ext4) then creation of Link2SD script , then reboot , then bootloop.
Also tried initd , univarsal initd , but problem remains.
Before that I have successfully installed and used Link2SD on stock Kitkat 4.4.4 rooted.
So if anyone can give some guidance, I think same will be applied on Z/ZL also
I have same problem, same configuration.
In my case the bootloop apears when a had made the second partition with ext4 (2GB) and I try to reboot. Only without this partition my XZR boots normaly.
Nut is making a dualrecovery with a remount bootfix included. But its not finished right now. Maybe this could be a solution.
Lp has move to SD.....no need for L2SD, plus that app destroys cards
With Move to SD I have only 600 MB spare space on internal memory. Need more, cause I need the apps.
thanks to all
i am waiting for nut dual recovery then
and yes Lollipop has native App2SD , but that does not as complete as Link2SD
Native App2SD can not move an application completely (incl dex file , obb , cache etc) External SD which Link2SD can
Stock Lollipop Have App2SD Feature But I Cant See It In My Phone How Can I Do That
Tried the old remount reboot fix, but it seems not to work on lollipop.
I am now on about 600 MB free space in internal and after a while my XZR warns me of low memory. But need the apps I have installed.
Everything is transfert to sd with app2sd thats integrated, but it is not enough. With Kitkat I dont had this problems, but wont go back.

Anyone knows NUT latest news about dual recovery and remountrebootfix for Lollipop 5.0.2 ?
Thanks
New version of NUT dual recovery has been released , any chance to get a new version of Remountrebootfix so that we can use Link2SD again on XZR Lollipop 5.0.2

In the patchenotes stay something about that. Normally it should work now. Maybe you can try it and post success here
The fix should be integrated in the new version I think.

How big is your partition for link2sd?
Mine is actually 2 GB but thinking about making it bigger. Hope it will work.
