Steps & How To
Backup any apps, data and also whatever files you have in your internal storage (holiday pictures, wedding video, music, etc.). After this mod you'll need to do factory reset and all will be gone. You can unmount your SD Card if you need to.
1) Extract "tools-for-reparted.zip". You'll find these files below
2) Root your device using Framaroot. Open the app, choose Boromir. If success you'll see a notification asking for reboot. If Framaroot force closes, just re-open and re-do the steps. Don't forget to reboot.
3) Copy recovery_P780_CWM_6.0.1.5.img into the root of your internal storage path.
4) Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools and open it. When asked about Root Access just choose grant
5) Backup your IMEI first :
6) Install CWM Recovery using MobileUncle Tools, then when asked to reboot into recovery just do it.
7) In recovery mode, choose install, find Lenovo-P780-ReParted-0.2.2-ID-EN-Aroma.zip and follow the instruction.

This works on 8GB ? Can we repartition that too ?

---

Thanks for this.
Will find time to try it.

---

Can I repartition on custom rom
Firstly, thanks for sharing with us. Do you use this MOD on stock rom or custom rom?

---

Thanks for the post distan7, only thing to add is that at the end, you must do a factory reset via CWM otherwise the phone goes into a bootloop.

---

@dentist7 This mod needs CWM/TWRP. It will work for stock ROM and MIUI. Didn't test this using AOSP.

Thanks for your feedback

Update to S123 first and then partition as flashing the new ROM will set the partition back to factory default.

Those ROM are chinese ROM, and as I recall have different partitions layout.
You can try, the worst thing might happen is a bootloop which can be fixed by reflashing your phone using FlashTool (ROW S123 or Chinese S129/S135).

What rom do you use? You must use Ebr files from Life rom to work properly.

Rom which I have on my p780 is LiFe v.07 with TWRP and I had gravitymod2 on it. I used Aurora ReParted to change the internal memory which changed fine - there was on the end 2GB space for instalation files(avalible 1.86) and no Phone Storage
Right now i can turn on the phone and load the system but it is not working proply. In TWRP when i try to mount usb storage it says that e: cant be mounted becouse is not found.
Log from TWRP:
bo3ek.esy.es/p780/recovery.log
Could you point me what to do with this Ebr files from Life??
I had my mobile just 2 days working after I bought it and i was just going to change it from my old one and partitionin was the last thing to to :/
Big thanks.

Ok. Let's see. Look what you have to do.
1. Do a full backup of your ROM. TWRP. On SD card.
2. Flash again LiFe.
3. Reboot once.
4. Download P780_LiFe_v02_ReParted_Data_aroma. Zip not other file. This is the original file made by Xakep.
5. Reboot to recovery and repart. Be careful because the file is in Russian. Choose the 2 gb file.
6. After reboot, reboot again and flash your backup.
7. Good luck.
8. If something goes wrong tell me.

Thanks for this. I am not worry about data or rom which I have on my device at the moment becouse it is still in beatweene changing the phone so all can be done again.
My only question is - is it safe to do the flash again new rom when there is no phone storage mounted?

UFFF ))
I did flashing and all went good. After flashing i have basic LiFe v07 with two partitions on it as it was on the beginning.
I am going to use reparted now but on this pure LiFe 07 witout any gravitymodes on and if this will go fine then I will add Gravitymod.
Will let know how are things very shortly
