You must have a file manager installed on your phone. Go to Play Store and install ES File Explorer. Start it, and in the upper part you will see sdcard, click it and select sdcard1 (this is your sdcard).
Go to the location in your sdcard1 where you put framaroot, click it and install it.
Yesterday i updated my C1905 to new firmware (15.1.C.2.8) with PC Companion, and rooted my phone with the tutorial you mentioned,
and everything has gone well.

Oh....and my sd card is sdcard0 ......root explorer says its this....not sdcard1..

now open busybox X and click install..after some time it will say..success..now ur phone got busybox installed
till now your phone rooted and busybox installed but u will be having reboot if u try to edit system app..or mounting RW in system or link2sd,gl2sd reboot on mount..[some says this as Half root]...follow next for reboot fix[full root]
FOR REBOOT FIX [Full root]:
u should use the busybox X for this fix to work...so dont miss the above procedure..
http://d-h.st/fbt fix by [NUT] and huge thanks to him..

Run the install.bat file and choose the supersu app..
Follow the instructions on command prompt..
Done!
Upto this strictly for M dual user...
the guide below can be used in any android device
Guide to use SD card for storing apps and Games
FOR storing apps:use LINK2SD:
Get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
first guys XM/Mdual dont support ext4....please format ur sd 2nd partition to fat32...then u can link the apps....or else u will endup in bootloop...
use mini partition tools for windows...its easy to use...and easy to create a partition....
and connect your phone with MSC mode to PC for partitioning with the mini partition...which will in settings/xperia/usb connectivity/usb connection mode..
see here http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
and follow the procedure in that site after 3rd step that is backup sd step in that site....[dont try to use that method of rooting...its not for m,just use guide for Creation of partition] ...
and how to link all given on above site...so now we can link apps which is going to be stored on SD 2nd partiton
FOR storing Game data and how to play game:use GL2SD:
get the app from here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
Guide:
first whatever game u need to play...use some website to download them ...bcoz u wont have space required in internal sdcard if u want to download from playstore...
so i assume u have downloaded the game apk + data from some website....and u have extracrted the zip or rar to somewhere in pc...
1.copy the apk to sdcard1...[Note:sdcard1 is ur external sdcard]
2.see the data folder...
mostly data folder has game name inside them mostly android/obb/game name/ or android/data/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure will be followed and
some gameloft or reputed company will have their company name/games/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure for games
3.now if it has .obb format file inside the above given structures...then copy game name folder and place them in sdcard1/obb/ [eg:sdcard1/obb/com.rockstar.gta3/xxyyyy.obb]
or if it has many folders and files inside the above structure....then copy the game name folder and place them in sdcard1/data/ [eg:sdcard1/data/com.rockstar.gta3/]
4.now install game.apk from sdcard1 and open gl2sd
5.click mount [the joined chain symbol at top] and click play the game...if u didnt see game on list ...just open setting go down and click recover list
6.if u download some medium size game like 250mb directly from playstore..then open gl2sd and click top right button and choose move data and wait till it moves data] after that ur game data is stored on sdcard1 ....now play with same step 5
7.if game didnt open or cant play or some error...restart ur phone...and repeat the 5th step...
8.if game work..cool but remember to unmount[unlinked chain on top] after u finished playing games..or u cant paste anything in sdcard1
[Note:To run game you must mount after every reboot and unmount if u r going to copy some files to sdcard1]
if u cant understand what i said about gl2sd
see this video..maybe it will help u.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLQgWyYIXQ
now u can mount any app or game to sdcard1...

nope...its for 4.1.2....dual has 4.2.2 we cant use it ...
but now we can use gl2sd for games and link2sd for apps...
dont worry there are peoples working for the swapping...it will take time..till then use the gl2sd,link2sd
From what I have understood, vroot installs more then just supersu, which makes it a bit shady: I advice to use KingoRoot instead.

Or try kingoroot with phone in flight mode and Windows firewall in block all mode. Then after rooting remove the app from Windows and restart firewall...

Thanks for reply, how to create and format 2 nd partition to fat32
I am a newbie to Android.
This is my first handset.
C2004 Build Number 15.2.A.2.5
(Xperia M Dual with Indian firmware)
I had tried all the methods, which are available our forum, and failed to get positive result.
Please help me someone, who is using same firmware, to get rid of my low memory issue.
I know apps to SD will not work on XM
I tried link2SD.
but, result is boot loop.
my handset is restarting after Xperia Logo.
I am using Verbatim UHS-1 class 10 64GB card.
i had partitioned my sd card and second partition is deleted to overcome restarting issue.
usually I make a partition on that unused space(10GB) in ext2 while doing experiments.
I have also one more issue,
.thumbnails folder become huge.
now it is 850MB !!!!! (aboubt half of our memory)
Can I transfer these thumbnails to external SD card??
Any one please :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Bro you must be half rooted that's why you are getting bootloop, did you used remount reboot fix by nut after rooting?
And you can't move the thumbnails to extsd, better update your album app...it solves the problem of oversize thumbnail problem

Thanks to both of you for guiding me.
going through the threads, which has given to me, it is known that our second partition should be in fat32.
I always tried ext!!!
maybe that was the problem of my boot loop
I will try & Inform you the results
OMG!!!!!
What did I said!!!
I am on locked boot loader with stock ROM 4.2.2
those bootfix scripts will not work with 64bit windows?????
Once I had successful bootfix on 32bit Windows 7
(I had made more than 20 attempts)
My second partition was in FAT32
I was able to link apps
but still my internal memory is not increasing even after linked&moved apps; Why?
As I am using windows, I couldn't copy data files to second partition.
Then how could I install games?
after that, I had installed more than 10 apps
due to high drain of battery, I had to hard reset my phone.
Now I am not able to fix boot loop :crying:
Please guide me....
(Now All rooting methods fails, but still I could install superSU manually
& root checker shows I have root access.
Installed busybox..
and all root required apps works without any problem)
Hey Everyone,
I tried my hands on installing cyanogenmod 11 for xperia m. Did not take the backup of the current ROM, and did not transfer the package file to the SD card. However, the Fastboot and Unlocking BootLoader went fine.
Now the situation is, Current ROM erased, no backup, cant seem to install the cyanogenmod package either by "Sideload" or "Push and install".
While trying the SideLoad method, i get the error "E: can't open tmp/update.zip" .
Dont know where to start and how to revert back. Please can someone here help me?
This may be the solution.
hey brother,
Seems like you messed up with your phone and i think i have a solution for that.
Firstly as u have mentioned that your bootloader is unlocked .
Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool from here.
Then install it on your PC , later install Fastboot and Flashtool Drivers (the .exe file will be there in c:\flashtool\flashtool drivers,u need not download separately) , as u are using Sony Xperia M , Check Flashtool drivers , Fastboot Drivers and Drivers for Xperia P,S when prompted.
Then Connect your Phone in Fastboot Mode ( by holding Volume Down button ,check for ur phone ) and Flash the recovery.img / boot.img which will be in the Zip file of CM11. Download Gapps for your phone Then copy the zip file and the gapps.zip into your sdcard and put that sdcard into ur phone and boot via recovery(holding volume up button). Then Do the following
Wipe factory/data cache
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
go to install zip>install from sdcard1>select ur Cm11 file
In the same way Flash Gapps too
reboot and Enjoy
It worked for me and i am sure it will work for u too. if it didnt i am so sorry i cant help u.plz msg me if u have any doubts
all the best :laugh::good::angel:

Hey there....
Thanks for the reply. Appreciated!!
Sorry for being late, i kinda made it. I was only working with the Boot.img file and not the whole zip package. Copied the Zip to the SD and installed CM11.
Although i have one more question.
Internal is still 2.05, whereas Xperia M has 4gb of internal.
And also is there any way to swap internal with external in CM11. i have a 16gb SD Card.
Well Done

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.

1 i cant access my sd card to read or write in adm

MM and Samsung roms fully support reading and writing to the sdcard. All that is required is for the app to ask for authorisation.
If it doesn't ask it's a bad app.
ADM also works fine with MM and sdcard.
