try to remove mediatek driver first after that try to reinstall it again. but remfber to reboot computer after uninstall or install.
this will be my first attempt to do anything with my phone,, i just hope that these instructions relayed should help me out with no problem.. as its my first tym poking finger into my phone.. plus i wanna totally chage this phone coz of its chinese rom google app doesnt works..
Cross finger…. Contact me if you have any problem
Everything OK about ur instruction but finally It show me 1.4GB/1.5GB. What the problem that mean?
Look on your storage at setting , how many internal storage you have and how many phone storage you have? When your phone storage just only couple of mega then you already successfull reparted your internal storage
same problem with soe i got 1.4gb/1.5gb.. how can i fix that ?
what only 1,4gb/1.5gb ? i don't understand can you describe to me the problem ?
my internal memory is 1.4gb its not 3.6gb
are you sure you did all process, look at ROM process section. are you do the step number 3 ? if you not do the step number 3 then is same you flash lenovo s920 stock rom to your device, nothing change. but if you do the step 3 it arrange the partition to make you have bigger internal memory.
thank you for visit
Yes ,something like that because i did the process again ,now showing internal storage 17MB/18MB at phone .It Ok?Thanks for ur post and answer for me.
Yes it right it should be like that and your internal storage now must be must bigger that it should

and one more question i would like to ask is that after flashing my phone will i be able to use google services..among which playstore is most important. coz at d moment my phone doesnt accepts any google services and there was no gogole play store pre-installednin it
of course this tutorial just only show you how to re-partition your lenovo s920 internal memory, for installing google play services there is another tutorial. most off chinese phone does not include google play service
so can you give me a link for that..it would be a great help from you…
can you install using zip? are you already have custom recovery or still stock recovery ? i will give you gapps but you must install it from custom recovery.
try this gapps and flash from custom recovery, but first backup your current rom first
http://adf.ly/lGJCm
see i didnt do anything with d phone yet as d stock rom wasnt g etting downloaded all i did was did a backup thats all…n just waiting to get a stock rom so dat i am able to flash d phone repartition it n also get google play servies specially google playstore
hey after doing this cmw recovery thing i am getting d options…. ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. FIX? THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE..
with d options
no, no, no, yes-disable recover flash.,, no , go back
so i clicked on no
n d phone got rebooted.
so now how i am supposed to knw if it was a success or not
i just did d cmw recovery
and if its a yes then kindly guide me thru this gapps process so that i can avail d features of google play store if u want u can send me a mail directly with d process as m a dummy wen it comes to a smart phone.. my email id is [email protected].
thanks for all d help so far.
appreciate it man…
hey my phone doesnt not shows sd card now.. what did i do wrong? can u please guide me on that..
sorry it started to show d sd card after rebooting it again… but nothing is getting downloaded it says storage space insufficient pls. check it out
If you click on no then it system install stock recovery again but if you click yes the cwm still on your system. If you follow this guide your external memory will be vanish cuse the size it add to internal memory. But not your sd card, i means true sd card not external memory act like sdcard.
so what abt the option dat said yes-disable recover flash? if i had clicked on that what was that supposed to mean?
If you choose yes it will disable the system to flash stock recovery to your system again. Just check on android system settings and go to storage menu this will list all your available storage and capacity too
OK so basically i have successfully done d cmw recovery process. so if i want to install gapps then i can go ahead with it as the capacity of d system is showing good. now if i want to avail google process i just need to install that gapps. am i ryt?
