Hello! Could you provide step-by-step guide on how to extend internal memory in i8160 or replace USB+internal with internal partitioning only? Thanks!
That's how I did it.
I flashed aem's stock prerooted rom, using Odin.
With terminal, using dd command - I flashed custom recovery HD 1.2 with twrp.
Then downloaded modified vold.stab file ( in the development threat some dude linked his file, sorry, I forgot his nick ), and flashed .zip in recovery.
That's it.
Check out my Dropbox Folder for the kernel and the modified vold.fstab:

Flash with recovery.

Every time i try to flash a rom i get a error that says
E:Cant find update script
Using Amon Ra recovery. Wiped everything and partitioned sd card.
Thanks for any help
Sounds like the update package is not signed with valid keys. Is your phone rooted ?

check your zip. If you zip a file two folders deep it will give the same error. open your zip and see if you see your files or another folder.
yeah when i unzip it, the first folder i see is the name of the rom "fresh" then when i open it, I see; boot image file, data folder, META-INF folder, sdcard folder, and system folder.
Well update script is in META-INF\com\google\android but if your zip file is not signed then it can't be flasshed that is why you get upgrade script not found.
How do i do that????? And walk me through what "signed" means
And im using a macbook pro if that helps any
Thanks a ton
Well did unziped the zip folder ? Did you make any changes to the installation zip ?
Now what rom are you running. So you have root ? When you use connectbot and type su deo you see #? It could be that your phone is not ruter and does not have proper recovery installed since we can't sign rom with the same keys that developers at sprint use we have to root the phone and allow it to accept custom rom.
all i did was download the fresh rom from the forum onto my computer, compressed it (zipped it) then rebooted my phone into recovery, wiped everything i needed to, enabled the usb, moved the zip over to the phone, disabled the usb and then went to flash zip, found the zipped fresh rom and tried to flash it.
Im running my stock rom that came with the phone.
If you running this on mac the os x will unzip ypur file and put the download file in trash so use zip file from trash. Now You need to use simple root to root and install proper recovery on your phone then you will be able to install custom rom .
Awesome! found the zip file in the trash like you said, transfered that over and it worked! thank you thank you thank you!

extract the 2 zip files into 1 folder, folder name should be clockworkmod , copy the clockworkmod file into your external sd, boot into CWM and select backup & restore >>> restore from external sd and you should see a file >> 20120422... something like that... select it >>> restore and wait until it done and reboot. Dont forget to wipe wipe wipe before restore..
It worked! Thanks!

I've been using JJ's hybrid + ArcKnight Kernel, but now I want to test a GB firmware.
I downloaded this from XDA: "LT18i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic World UK.ftf", which I think is the latest stock GB.
I've made a nandroid backup via ClockWorkMod, however, looking into backup folder I see there are only 4 files inside, which are
data.yaffs2.img (370 MB);
system.yaffs2.img (190 MB);
cache.yaffs2.img (37 KB);
nandroid.md5 (some bytes);
My questions:
1. When I flash the above .ftf file with Flashtool which folders/partitions will be overwritten?
2. How about the other folders such as /etc, /sys, /dev and so on?
3. After flashing the above .ftf file, will I be able to restore my current ROM only by restoring those 4 files with ClockWorkMod?
Thanks guys!

Answers to your questions:
1. When you flash a ftf file, everything on your phone will be flashed unless you have chosen not to flash certain contents of the ftf like the simlock.ta since it will lock your phone to the UK network. The options are under Flashtool which you can select prior to the flashing operation.
2. As I said earlier, everything on your phone will be flashed. These files will be overwritten. Only the memory card is not affected.
3. Yes, you can, but you have to flash a CWM kernel after flashing the ftf file as the ftf file also flashes a new kernel.
Hope this helps

This was the last clue I needed to get CM10.2 up and running in my 8160P :victory:
Thank you so much
To install on I8160P must make changes to file system/build.prop and change ro.product.device = GT-I8160P to GT-I8160 then save and reboot.
install custom rom gt-i8160P
What changes are needed in order to install custom rom gt-gt-i8160 in I8160P. please do tutorial. thaks
You need Root and File manager (Total Commander).
1) Open File manager and go to folder SYSTEM and in the folder SYSTEM open/edit build.prop file.
2) In file build.prop you must find ro.product.device = GT-I8160P and replace GT-I8160P for GT-I8160
3) Save, reboot your phone and try install CM 10.2
No more error Installation aborted.

ok, let's see; following are basically the steps I followed to install custom rom for GT-I8160 into a GT-I8160P. In my case it was the [ROM][4.3.1][TeamCanjica] CyanogenMod 10.2:
1.- Get the custom ROM.
2.- Get the /system/lib/tee folder contents from your GT-I8160P JB installation (from stock rom). You may need root access, although in my case I could simply move trough the hidden directories and copy the folder to my sd card.
3.- Swap the /system/lib/tee folder, and put what you got from step 2, into the zip file of step 1, same place, same everything. You may very well dispose the original /system/lib/tee folder in the zip file.
4.- Change /system/build.prop and introduce a P in every GT-I8160 entry (from GT-I8160 to GT-I8160P).
5.- (tricky one) look for the updater script file within the custom ROM zip file, and delete the first complete entry of the assert command (you shall see some GT-I8160 there).
6.- If you dont already have CWM, get yourself one (I used this one [JB] CWM Recovery 6).
7.- Put both zip files into your sd card; get a copy also of gapps in case you're interested in.
8.- Back up all your data.
9.- Swicht off your phone and restart in recovery mode (up volume, home and power buttons pressed simultaneously).
10.- Load from the external sd card the CWM zip file.
11.- Wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition; and wipe dalvik cache (under advance options).
12.- Install from external sd card: a) custom CM rom; and b) gapps if you're for it.
13.- Restart.
14.- You shall be done!!!
Hope this really helps you.

I was succesfull with a hint of the post #5 of Warpyzda.
Thanks a lot!!!
Hey guys, i like to root my new iNew U3 with android 5.1
So i used several programs like Kingroot, oneclickroot aso. but no apk works.
May the device is simple not to root atm?
Thanks Brook
I have tested all available root apps, no success.
I have Readbacked boot, recovery and system images, boot and recovery have special format, not possible to unpack and repack by available tools, mainly repack is problem. System is native EXT4 mountable under linux, injected by supersu files and modifications, but because of SELinux files are not available to exec under running android. I am not able to set right files contexts under Ubuntu.
I will let you know if find solution.
Hi guys, I bought this phone ( Inew U3 ) on Ebay .
The phone is not so bed!! But I can't move any app on the microSD !!!!!!
In any case app can move on SD, It is that the main memory is set to the phone, whether the main memory is set to SD !!!!!
Even with third-party app, type Link2SD you can move apps to the SD, are always on the phone memory !!!
Also you can not do root in any way !!
Solutions?
OK, found way how to root this phone.
Method is "simple":
First OTA update to version iNew_U3_5.1_V1.1.0, not sure if root survive OTA. Do factory reset.
Use SP Flash Tool to backup system.img,
mount is under linux to /system folder as ext4, it is pure ext4.
Unpack latest UPDATE-Supersu package.
Open file update-binary file as text, do all as in instructions.
Umount /system folder after finished.
Flash system.img back to phone.
If not shown reinstall SuperSU app from Playstore.
I will share modified system.img with scatter on needrom later tomorrow.
EDIT: Dwnload link: http://www.needrom.com/download/inew-u3-prerooted-system-img/#
I tried it, but it didnt work.
Everytime i extract the Zip i get a failure, that the file is corrupt?
Is there any other way?
