[SCRIPT] Fix partition table for Android 4.4


M1cha said:
The bootloader doesn't care about system,system1,userdata and storage :)
I deleted them and could still boot into recovery.

So, does it means that we can have only one partition for system, i don't need this dual boot, for me is enough one system partition.

Yes, teorically if we edit partitions, and we set bootloader to boot system0 it may boot
 
is that difficult to do? i am just a not so experienced to do such things? i would really like one system partition
 
I would recommend to not delete system1 partition. just make it very small like 1MB. This way the partition number will still be correct.
 
and system0 will automatically increase or not?
if i make it 1mb, and after i will have to use miflash, does miflash will reparation it again, or it will be a problem?
Thanks
 
miflash will only repartition the device if you use QHSUSB_DLOAD mode(bootloader brick or shortcut).
otherwise it will use fastboot which picks the correct partitions by name.

you can set system0 to sth like 840mb, system1 to 1mb and give userdata the remaining space

yes it is. the max would be a little but less than system+system1+cache+userdata+storage=~30GB? :p
But it doesn't make sense to go above 840MB.
 
my script can be used on all operating systems because u just need to push and execute it.
if you want a different partition table you have to change the scripts. But you have to know how parted works.

ok thank you for answers, it helped me a lot
only last question, how i can do it on os x?
Click to expand...
Or ariesToolkit, but you will need that adb is on your exported path (google about this)

@everyone
DO NOT TRY TO DISABLE / RESTRIZE SYSTEM1 PARTION, EXPECIALLY IF YOU AREN'T AN EXPERT WITH LINUX AND PARTITIONS IN GENERAL!!!! YOU MAY HARD-BRICK YOUR DEVICE, AND IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU, BECAUSE THE PHONE MAY BE LOST FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

@linuxx: It's always good to warn users but I disagree about the hardbrick. We should be able to recovery ANY mi2(s) phone with miFlash+shortcut ;)

I've been on this screen for ever...

Edit:
Does your Ariestool only work for Miui? Eventually I continued, my phone rebooted into CWM and nothing happened. I didn't even lose my data...

Reboot into recovery and then execute it.

@linuxx do you could let your script automatically reboot to recovery.

Yes, if you see sourcecode there is the commando inside it, but it doesn't wait for it. Need to add a pause ...

Fixed, found it on mega, same directory

I've tried it again, but I doubt it worked.
1) Booted into CWM
2) Ariestool -> advanced -> extend partition -> followed instructions
3) Phone automatically rebooted intro CWM
4) I'm still able to boot builds that were installed before, I thought they should be gone?

So how can I check if it worked or not?

Done.

After I have rebooted the recovery, I chose reboot system.
Then it asked for grant root. At first I chose back, but it still asked for grant root.
Then I selected yes, but now I cannot boot to my rom.
I am stuck at the white MI logo.

Edit:
Before I attempted to repartition, I have installed the latest CWM(for 4.4).
Update:
The white MI logo has not moved for about 10minutes, then I have plugged out the battery and boot straight to CWM.
I cleared cache partition and dalvik.
I enabled True Dual Boot and reboot to ROM.
Then it asked to grant root 2 times. This time I accept both requests.
But I am still stuck at white MI logo.
