so you're right - no backups / restoring necessary, as long as your partition tool is able to resize / move the stuff around |
@uboot
I did a full backup with rupor's method before i started.
Then i have done exactly those steps. But there is a problem
I used Paragon Partition Manager.
1) shrunk the READER partition -> ok
2) enlarge extended partition -> ok
3) move system partition to the end of extended -> ok
4) enlarge data partition -> fail...
tool wasnt able to do that, so i deleted data and recreated new ext4 partition exactly where the old one was, but with a new size. Labeled it "data". But it was empty now. So i thought about you telling me:

data partition and reader partition do not have to be restored. uppon boot, the reader will re-initialize them
|
so i rebooted, but reader wouldnt boot up. So i used the sd-recovery pack. After that the reader booted fine.
All fine, just as before, so i rooted again.
Now here is the problem:
The reader still thinks /data / phone storage is 48 MB...
When i boot to recovery and look at the partitions of the reader in Paragon it shows the correct new size. But on the reader i cant use the full size?
Any idea why?
