I have been using my Tecno Phantom for about two weeks (and it isnt so bad a phone), but...

yes, there is a but, the internal storage was just too small for me. 1gb. Had to move some apps to sdcard and clean cache quite a number of times. Wasnt always required, only when installing a new app and google play wanted a temp space.

Now, there is this internal memory card storage that isnt being used. Its on the phone, just partitioned as a storage and not for data. I felt it could be useful.

So I tried to do a symlink using DirectoryBind, but I read that it might not be a lasting solution and I need to restart the phone a couple of times (to charge faster). So I went ahead and used the MT65x Repartition Tool. I selected 2GB (or so) and rebooted the phone. But the internal storage was still 1GB while the internal storage was gone. Thinking I chose the wrong option, I went and ran the partition tool again and selected another size and ...... phone no longer comes on.

It is stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas to how I can recover it?

Your fone don brick. You need to set your fone to factory reset from recovery mode

Thankfully, not. Good thing I did a nandroid backup from recovery. I have just restored it and the phone came on again.

After coming on, I now have 2.96 internal storage (so the repartioning worked). Not sure I have cache space anymore, but...

I promptly repartitioned to 2gb (yes, I know, I am stubborn) and went through the process again. I got a message that my internal storage might be damaged and I should format the sdcard. Since I dont know which sdcard it is referring to, I am backing up the external card first.

*fingers crossed*

I'm okay now.
