How To View Android System Mount Points In Phone Without PC

10:48 Alex 7 Comments


Today I came with a very important tutorial- “How To Find Mount Point(s) Of Android Mobile”. 
When we port rom & recovery  for Mediatek(MTK) devices, we need to find out the mount points of System block & Data block. So I’m sharing the fastest way to find them. You can do this just in few clicks!! So, let’s start…

Step 1:

Download & install “DiskInfo Pro apk”. : Download

Step 2:
Open it & press on menu (3 dot button)



Step3:
Choose “Settings”.

Step 4:
Mark “Show partition name”.
Step 5:
Now go back & you will see the interface like the screenshot. You will see the mount points after the partition names. Copy or write down the mount points of System, Data & Chache partition. You can also copy the mount points of Internal SD & External SD card.




Note these mount points you will need these mount points while porting rom & recovery.
DiskInfo Pro apk : Download

    I tried it but I get 2 different paths /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 from diskinfo and /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 from stock recovery.fstab. which of them should I use for update script in ROM porting??

      You haven't mentioned that /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 refers to which path in diskinfo.
      You should note down what disk partition is mounting on which point, because that's the real partition your system is mounting on. if the system or any other partition is mounting on /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 then write the same respective path in updater script.

      I tried create ROM option in apktool but I got updater script with mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system", "/system"); . now which of them I should use for mount system, mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system or mmcblk0p20 or mmcblk0p6
