[SCRIPT] Fix partition table for Android 4.4


Frederik VDP said:
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.

You must flash roms, because as you see, there is not any ROM on your device, cuz this need to erase system partitions to enlarge them. Use ROM installer to flash any, you need only to enable tdb, no wipe

Wow this is great news. So now it's possible to resize system 1 to just 1mb, this then means there is 4GB of userdata available. Would it then also be possible to resize the storage partition, I would love to have 3GB more off storage as I barely use apps but do have lot of music on my phone, could this function be build into the toolkit too? It would probably destroy ALL date on the device but it would be completely awesome!
 
booted into CWM I get a device not found error? Somehow the phone is only connected to the pc when booted into miui it seems. What am I doing wrong?
 
Yes, they have been installed:

and this when testing:


I downloaded all files as far as I can tell, and put them in the same folder

The problem isn't that I'm not able to boot anymore, the problem is that I'm still able to boot. So I don't think making the partitions bigger worked...

Hey,

Would it be possible for you to include this option in AriesTool too?
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi2s-extending-size-of-storage-partition.21391/
Yes, I'll see if that's possible but I think so
I can do it manually but it seems like it would be a great addition to your toolkit :)

So, flash a ROM using the cm installer, when the phone is on recovery mode, and enable tdb before install it

I've being reading this whole thread once again, but still one thing is not clear to me: running this script will delete also the contents of the "data" or not?
I mean: will I have to backup also the photos and all the other stuff?

/data partition will be wiped, but your sdcard will be untouched

Linuxx, as Frederik was saying, that wasn't the problem because nothing was wiped. Maybe Ivan's kernel was the thing to blame?
Anyway, i installed the m1cha's recovery and ran the commands and it worked for me. So thanks anyway ;)
 
After repartitioning, can I just reinstall my Miui backup in system 1 and than install KitKat in system 2?
I'd like to try out Kitkat but don't want to lose my current installation.
 
yes, but u need to backup all your data.
But you could use ivan's minimal gapps, too

They just don't contain some google-features(dunno which exactly)
 
I should have made myself more clear, I meant I would make a nandroid backup of system1.
And restore it in system 1 after repartitioning. Then install KitKat in system2, that should work right?

And you mean to not repartition but just use ivan's minimal gapps?
 
I know what u meant. And yes if u use ivans minimal gapps u don't need to repartition ur phone.

Thanks it's all clear now! Just wanted to be sure.

Edit: where can I find this: ivans minimal gapps? Been searching the forums without luck.

Could someone please make a flashable zip with this? And maybe a revert script?
