Dear Dev,

Which line(s) I have to edit to make system partition larger?

Please help...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AbduL_PT:
Hi,

do you know if it is possible to change the size of other partitions, like recovery with this method ?

If so, can you point out the changes needed ?

I think you can do this without the use of the SPFT, using a custom recovery and a script with dd comand to copy the img's files.

EBR files edited for spice MI-550

can you please explain how I lose space after editing EBR1 and EBR2 ? The files were edited as follows -- I got a primary partion with 2 GB space and another with 4.28 GB.These are made for Spice MI-550 Pnnacle.If anyone needs them I can share

EBR1 - "20" +"1" = 30.

EBR2 "3d" + "1" = 4d.

"c0" -"1" = b0.

I have made another to make a 4GB primary partition as follows

EBR1 "20"+ "6" = 80.

EBR2 "3d"+ "6" = 9d

"c0" - "6" = 06

Am I correct???/ Please help me....

In steps you have mentioned we have to increase 1 in ebr file but what i can see from the screen shot is you have increased the value from 30 to 40 which is not increased by 1 ! Please correct me if I am wrong.

the +1 is from the first digit (tens column) and the -1 is from the second digit (ones column) :victory:

Virus

This doesn't work because it bricks your phone, that is, does a format, if you run it from snapea it will give you a virus in windows as well causing you to lose all admin privileges so that you cannot use MTKDroid tools or SPflash tools to recover your brick.. The best part, the popup for yes or no or whatever it says, is not in english. If you click the wrong thing it will reboot your phone into recovery and then clockwork mod cannot perform a backup either because it gives a cache error, which btw is because this little tool deleted your cache. CWM will stop performing correctly so that you cannot even do a recovery from CWM.

If you do run it just hit the home screen, do not click anything and remove it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kailashnj:
I no longer use Mediatek phones and hence have no clue of this. Though at that point when i had posted this it did not have any virus.

How could I re-partition my MT6582 device (having only MBR & EBR1 files)?

My device is Infinix Hot X507 (16 GB ROM, 1 GB RAM, MT6582 ARM Cortex-A7 SoC).

The stock ROM for my device has only the files EBR1 & MBR (So the device seems not to be EBR1 & EBR2 type).

I think your guide is for the EBR1 & EBR2 type (not the EBR1 & MBR one)

EBR1, MBR and Scatter files are here, pulled from ROM X507-D5120-L-20150923 Final (ROM info), currently installed Lollipop ROM on my phone.

Hey guys, I need your help.

I need a new phone, wnated to buy the Nexus 5, but I think I don't have enough money for it.

So I found the Razr HD and wanted to ask, if it's still worth buying it. Or should i get a Huawei Ascend p6?

Or do u have other recommendations?

Thanks for your help!

Sent from HTC Sensation with various Android versions.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Depends on how you want to use it. If you don't care about rooting and possibly unlocking the boot loader, then I guess it's worth it, if it's free. However, you can only root as long as it hasn't had the latest OTA applied to it. You can only unlock the bootloader if it's never taken an OTA after 9.16

Otherwise, I would probably stay away from it. It's a great phone, but it's kind of old. I guess it also depends on what you currently have.

In the end, the problem is it's all a crap shoot on which version of the software you'll get. You just never know what you get. If you do end up getting it, do NOT take any OTAs that it might be suggesting. First, discover what version you have. If you have 9.16 or earlier, then you can unlock the bootlader and I suggest doing that first and foremost. Of course, your warranty is null and void at that point, but most of us don't care anyways.

If it's before 9.30, then you might still be able to at least root it, but you won't be able to unlock the bootloader.

Again, it's all a crap shoot on what version you'll get. I got my phone a few months back as a warranty replacement for my OG Droid RAZR MAXX. I got lucky that it came with 9.16 and I was able to unlock the bootloader. But, I was lucky. Others have gotten it with the latest OTA which pretty much screws them over from being able to root and unlock the bootloader. Others, like me, have gotten lucky.

Heck, I didn't even know I was getting an HD until it arrived. The first thing I did was fire it up, saw it had an OTA available and I promptly said no to it. I then went to all my usual forum haunts to research the phone and see if root was available. Was I ever happy to see I could potentially unlock the bootloader! Even happier when I was able to do so.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmajpwc:
Considering he's talking about the Nexus 5, I don't think the bootloader is going to be an issue. Only the Verizon Razr HD's were affected by that.

Second, its still a great phone. The version of Jelly Bean it has now is sluggish unless you use Nova, but I'm assuming once it gets the Kit Kat update (which Motorola has promised for all variants) it'll be fine. I'd get it again if I were to choose, even though the Nexus is obviously a better phone. This is because it'll soon have Kit Kat, and the battery life is much better than that of the Nexus.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewbydoo:
OP, you should tell us what Verizon (if that is your carrier) is offering you so we can help you choose. Off-contract? Two year renewal? What's going on?

As for the phone, you can do better. I have a Razr HD and while I love it, I'm starting to get feelings of exclusion because this phone was released late 2012. It is now 2014, and the Android world is learning to sprint away from old hardware. What I would suggest is the Moto X. It's like Verizon's apology for being the only carrier that doesn't have the Nexus 5.

As for "free," don't get your hopes up. With you looking at the Razr HD, I'm guessing your carrier is Verizon. They might be offering a phone for $0 or $.99, but there is always more money they need from you. Activation fee, renewal fee, so on. I don't want to discourage you from getting a nice new phone, but be realistic about costs. The worst of it is getting your hands on the phone, the rest is just budgeting the bills.

Anyways, I ultimately recommend getting the Moto X over the Nexus or the Razr HD. It would be around $130 total after the fees; my roommate just got his ordered two days ago off a two-year renewal. After the $50 mail-in rebate, it will reduce his cost in the end. Roughly $80 for a Moto X.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makcode:
Maybe you should by a Moto G. I have two of it. The Moto G is a great phone and costs not too much.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] six37:
I think you should buy it. I have one for 1 year now and bought another new one few days ago at bargain price. It's still one of the best phones overall and + it will get updated to KitKat. Quality and looks is still unfathomable for other manufacturers. Performance and battery is excellent.

And you can unlock bootloader and fool around with custom roms which work great BTW.

Don't buy that chinese trash... :victory:
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistah_mumford:
I'd say it's still worth it as I just got my RAZR HD 1.5 weeks ago in trade for my Note 2
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die Bruine:
Depending on the price I would still recommend buying an XT925. It's a good phone which will get KitKat and it can still do all you want. In it's price range I think still one of the best out there.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Now that root has been achieved on the latest OTA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758), I'd say this is possibly more worth it than it was before root was achieved.
