is mmcblk0p18 the recovery partition for the sprint only? or US only? or all sIII?

If so, is it possible to install CWM into non-USB storage space?
thanks!
No it wont delete it.
/sdcard is mmcblk0p14
/recovery is mmcblk0p5
Completely different partitions. What you will lose, however, is any CWM backups you have saved.
thanks!
Hello,
I am running official cm 10.2 nightly on my n7100.
I want to read the boot partition via did command.
However in /dev/block the mmcblk0boot0 partition is not visible.
Only the mmcblk0 block is visible. I read in the s3 forum that kernels after ICS make that block visible. Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi guys !
I've made some research about the partition sheme of the GT-I9195 and here's what I found :

What's interesting is the size of /system : 1500Mo !!! That's really big when you know that CM11+Gapps take approximatively 500Mo of /system space. There also some other parition un-used for custom rom's users (/hidden which contains sammy dummy file or /fota which is for over the air update for official rom). So don't you think there should be a way to delete some partition so that we can gain in space for /userdata ? I'm asking because i know it was possible for my old phone (Galaxy ace 2) and I think it would be pretty nice to gain 1Gb of space for daily usage.
I do not think it is possible to repartition s4 mini's flash storage.
You said it was possible on your old ace 2. I say it was also possible on my old galaxy s advance
That is because those devices had seperate partitions for system , internal storage , data (where u install apps) , cache and a special partition called 'preload'.
If I can remember correctly the hidden.img files from firmware reside on that preload partition. As you can see , with use of a "pit" file we can repartition internal storage, system and data such that we can either have more room to install apps or more room for storage.
But such a work is not possible on s4 mini. Because the internal storage and data are on same partition. /data is where u install apps .... /data/media/emulated/0 is your internal storage. This means data and storage share a single partition.
Yes i've also noticed what you just said. In previous samsung phone, there were two separate partition for user. One purely for storage (/ums or /sdcard0 if I remember correctly) and another one for the apps or the user's setting (/data). Now those two partitions have been merged in galaxy S4 mini, which is a big improvement.
But what I want here is to resize /system partition which is really too big for custom roms so that we can use that extra space for /userdata. In fact, i'm pretty sur that CM11 with a small Gapps package could fit in 500mo and that's all what we need because /system is in read only isn't it ?
And by the way, /system and /userdata are correctly two separate partitions.
You can go the other way.... Integrate apps in system.
I think this is safest than repartition
Good day fellow xda-developers!
I am currently have a problem with my galaxy ace 2 ( GT-I8160). My brother by accident and through Odin erased some partition files! He ticked Nand erased all and since then the mobile shows the first screen writting Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and then reboots.
More specific:
I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found..
I:Cannot load volume /misc
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/sd i2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0
I have tried many Official roms by sammobile but no luck, i tried from here an official rom given with PDA,CSC and pit but still nothing.
I have even tried to flash through CWM many custom roms but still nothing. Some off them showed to be done correctly but still then it showed the first screen and then restarted.
Has anyone any idea how to fix it? Can someone provide me with a CWM back up to try to flash it?
@matlowpap, you PMed me:

Not sure if flashing CWM backup will help here, since even flashing an official ROM didn't help. Probably your best bet is to try recovering deleted partitions via parted. Have you tried to repart internal sdcard via CWM ReParted? If no, then first connect the phone to PC via adb and run:
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
If even this is not working, it's likely to be a hardware fault. Otherwise this command will print partition list. Compare output with this one
Code:

to find out what partitions to restore. Note that CWM reparted doesn't touch any of "vital" partitions, and will recreate only System, data, cache and UMS. If some other partitions are missing, you have to create them via parted utility.
P.s. Be sure to read that topic in link above before flashing anything.

I will try as soon as I can your method but please can you upload a CWM back up too.
I want to be sure that it is not working.

I don't have neither enough internet traffic to upload nand backup nor high enough upload speed. Of course you can ask someone else to upload CWM backup, but it would be senseless, as restoring nand backup won't create those deleted partitions.
CyanogenMod how to download and install? anyone tell me how to install it on note 3 neo
