Repartition tool

benkxda,

Please add a link to the meteos tool for repartition

Here are links to tutorials on how to do it from various forums (pick your favourite)

http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tool-App-for-repartitioning-your-phone-s-internal-memory

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2611583

http://forum.faeamobile.com/thread-1058-1-1.html

Here is the link to the original threat of the maker of the tool (in spanish):

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/threads/meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-redimensiona-facilmente-data-apps-com-4gb-8gb-16gb-rom.31769/

And lastly, a link to download it:

http://ge.tt/8yzn27k/v/0?c)

My personal advice on using this tool would be to not go over 5GB as it would make the recovery backup impossible on the remaining (internal) sd card space.

You might also want to add a link to the petition for AOSP support from MediaTek:

Hi [MENTION=5366335]Donat.Callens[/MENTION], I added the link to the petition in here as well as in the main Fairphone discussion thread. I also added one of your how to links and I chose the one which was not locked (XDA thread hopefully will reopen soon) and where users get several download links without registration and a simple description.

Thank you very much for this great contribution! :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
My brother claims his G2 was acting up yesterday. On his way to work in the afternoon, he claimed it got really hot in his pocket. Anyway now it won't turn on, the screen stays black. Putting it on the charger doesn't seem to have helped. Computer doesn't see it when I plug it in via USB.

He is completely stock, not even rooted. I don't think anyone is going to be able to help here, but I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar issue? I guess he didn't know he could kill it by holding the power button down for so long, and probably just let it burn up in his pocket.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Looki75:
Hello knowledgeable people!

I did a very stupid thing!... I took an official Samsung ROM package .tar.md5, remove the .md5 extension, extracted it, replaced boot.img with a custom kernel boot.img and re-compressed into a .tar package.

Then I took this .tar package and flashed it on the phone with Odin on my PC.

That didn't work, as expected.

The process blocked at one point.

I thought I will then just have to flash the Samsung official ROM to get everything back.

Well... not! I can flash the Samsung official ROM with Odin on my PC, but when the phone starts, it get stucked on bootloop on the glowing samsung logo.

I tried many things, including:

* wipe cache

* wipe data

but nothing worked...

At this point, I think I need to repartition/format everything and start from scratch but I don't know how to do this...

I tried to flash the Partition Identification Table kindly uploaded by [MENTION=1834730]lyriquidperfection[/MENTION], but it didn't work (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950591) and it gets stuck in Odin as [MENTION=2944336]narcarsiss[/MENTION] mentions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33145970&postcount=2

Anyone has an idea?

> How to re-partition/re-format properly?

Have you tried flashing another kernel?Boeffla Etc then use KIES or Odin to flash back to stock
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] toeterbaas:
Yes enter recovery after flashing with Odin.

When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305 then wipe cach and wipe the other one. There are 2 wipe options.

Your phone should boot now it takes some time the first time around a minute.

Let me know if it worked :D

- flash stock Samsung ROM for your country with Odin

- go to recovery wipe the 2 options When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305

-phone should boot takes a minute before he goes trough the flashing Samsung screen.

I fear sending S3 to Samsung for repair is the only way, unfortunately... This is what I will do tomorrow (in 10hrs from now) unless a white knight arrives on this thread and gives me the golden solution! :D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] tissot:
You havent mentioned what rom version you tried.

I guess you used 4.3 official?

I could only guess but ther is probably more then just boot.img containing Knox code.

Knox is hindering users from downgrading bootloader and that maight be your problem now.

You did not mention wich version you try to recover to either.

So if you try with the old 4.1.2 it may be impossible.

Perhaps you need the newest official rom to get it working.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Looki75:
Thanks for your answer.

The home made package was on 4.3 base.

Then I tried to reflash official 4.3.

I will give a try with 4.1.2...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Looki75:
Well... didn't work either... since I already had knox bootloader...

It shows "unsupported version".

Oh well... :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] toeterbaas:
You can't flash the old version. Odin will revert it back while installing.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] tissot:
Okey

A bit far feched but is it possible your download is broken? Try DL again.

And either it is or not you could try installing 4.3 from different region as yours. Just to try every possability.

It shouldnt be impossible to fix this stupid phone :)

You dont have any nandroid backup some where.

Last option. Throw it on a brick wall to release som aggrevation and then you buy a Nexus 5. Problem solved.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Looki75:
:D You made me laugh!

Seriously: DL is OK (I flashed this very official ROM many times in the past) and I do have a nandroid, but result is the same (stuck at glowing samsung logo).

The issue is way deeper.

Thanks for your help! Before trying the brick wall, I will try to make it repaired by Samsung! ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] shucrut:
I had a brick once, butthe situation was a bit different. I have knox bootloader and tried to downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom without the bootloader package. The flash went ok, but my phone was stucked on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 screen. After that, i was quite desperate and tried to reflash stock 4.3 via odin, but it failed :S

Then i tried to flash official Germany's 4.3 again, this time with the ODIN version inside CF-Root package (http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip?retrieve_file=1), put the cable in another USB port, killed every kies proccess and rebooted phone in dowwnload mode. This time the flash went ok, i rebooted the phone into recovery (got bootloop) and wipe cache and factory reset. After this the phone booted up normally. Hope you can fix your phone
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Looki75:
Thanks! Any idea is valuable!

How did you create the ball pack of "4.1.2 rom without the bootloader" - in other words: how did you remove the bootloader from there?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] shucrut:
I'd used this tutotial (just the part of commands, added everything that the original ".md5" has, removing just the "sboot.img", i'm not 100% sure if this is the only file to be off the new package, as i said, didnt work for me :(), the only difference is that i'm using cygwin instead of linux itself, it worked like a charm

Basically all u need to do is unpack a original .md5 firmware (use winrar or so) and move the files (except sboot.img) to your home directory of linux or, in my case, cygwin (originally C:\cygwin\home\user-name), start the console and type the command bellow, switching the ".imgs" to match yours, of course:

cd $HOME
tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 > your_odin_package.tar

After this you must have a 1Gb+ .tar file (considering you will make a stock samsung flashable), now you will add md5 checksum to that, just to avoid troubles:

md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar

mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5

and voilà, you have your flashable odin package. Of course you can try making one with just the system.img, boot.img and modem.img. If the phone boots up, do a factory reset. I have no idea if this will work in any occasion having knox bootloader trying to flash official 4.1.x, but you can also try with a samsung 4.3 rom.

In the last scenario, try to CF auto-root your phone, then flash an official CWM recovery via odin using this method i told u, boot into recovery and flash a custom rom, do a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache. I hope one of the options work for you.

I'd recommend trying to flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom. If phone boots up and is functional, try to flash samsung official 4.3 again (if your desire is having the stock of course), not forgeting to factory reset via cwm first to avoid troubles.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Hi everyone!

Some days ago I bought a new battery for my S3 (seller said to be genuine) and I am disappointed because its performance is almost the same as the one I was experiencing with my old battery (18 month-old battery). For this reason, I have been researching and I have done this until now:

*) Being honest, this comparison is somehow subjective since apart from the battery change, my S3 was officially updated from 4.1 to 4.3 almost at the same time I changed the battery. Then, I wonder whether this update may have affected my diagnosis on the battery duration.

1) According to the point * I decided to do a battery calibration "without root" consisting in draining the battery to 0% and charging until 100%. I haven't seen any improvement doing this.

2) As consequence I analyzed wakelocks. I have addressed two of them from the System:

- AudioOutLock. to fix this one I did as recommended: disabling sounds when typing and all of this.

- Backup. Fixed by disabling the backup from Google (I would like to have it enabled but if it is causing a battery drain...)

3) I let the phone the whole night turned on with the 3g connection on and I got a ratio of 2%/hour draining. I have read this is more or less under the normal parameters.

After doing all of this I'm still not happy with the performance. Usually, my mobile gets under 20% by the end of the day with the screen on in a range between 1h30m and 2h. If I remember well at the very begging (when I bought my phone), I was getting my phone at 20% by the end of the day but having the screen on for 4h or more. After buying a new battery, I was expecting to return to that situation.

Do you have any hint? As for example a better way to calibrate? Factory reset may help? Should I check a specific wakelock?

Thank you very much in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
I forgot to mention that when I let it charging over night, my s3 does not always charge until 100. Sometimes it's until 98 or 95. I don't know if this helps you guys as a hint but I want to provide as much information as possible.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Thanks!, I will check. But so far I have briefly seen it looks like there is not a specific solution more than disabling gNow and some other things. Maybe a good option is to downgrade or using a custom rom in which there aren't these problem.

Hi, look for XDA-forum "Better Battery Stats", there is an excellent tool to analyse battery drain and the community in this thread provides very good support.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Thanks!. I have been using Wakelock detector but I will try with this one. I was wondering if using this kind of applications for checking the wakelocks may provoke some battery drain itself. I mean, should it be used just for analyzing when you experience a battery issue? or should they be permanently installed no matter whether you have battery problems or not?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardo-lavazza:
Hi, Better Battery Stats is using an already existing process of Android to obtain it's information, therefore the influence of the app itself on battery drain should be negligable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paco_ramirez:
Thanks for the info!. I have not seen anything special in the partial wakelocks. In the kernel wakelocks, it is difficult to distinguish whether one entry is specially problematic or not. After what I have read so far it may be the mix of social apps I have now installed:

- Whatsapp

- Twitter

- Messenger (FB messenger)

- Line

I guess maybe I have too many of them reason why the battery is draining more than normally when the screen is off

mk6 is fine with the battery...so firstly install an app called better battery stats search for it...install it and let the phone to be in standby mode for 4-5 hours..and then see in partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks..and post those screenshots on bbs thread...someone will surely help you..

sometimes changing kernel could solve the problem..boeffla is the one i am satisfied with..and agni kernel is also one of the better kernels..:good:
