[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
ok, thanks for the analyses, this is nearly identical to what my perl script reads.

I finally managed to find a working windows computer with dotnet4 installed and got this analysis for my N7000:

for the N7000 and devices with similar PIT scheme, the Partition Block Size doesn't contain the size of a block like for i9000 and others (e.g. 256 or 512 in bytes), but instead we have the partition start address in blocks in this entry, which allows to move the partition around. This especially allows to leave areas unused, which doesn't work with the i9000 PIT scheme. The skipping of the bricked area mainly depends on this feature of the PIT structure. This is why it doesn't work for i9000 and similar devices.
