Using these PIT files has nothing to do with any roms u use as what it does is repartitioning internal storage capacity. Since Bauner's is still in alpha stages, I'd recommend you complete the partitioning by using the PIT u want and a stock 4.1.2 firmware together in ODIN, reboot to stock recovery, do a factory wipe reset, boot into rom, format sd card when prompted, check your storage info, and off you go blasting any roms u want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] aluves:
Many thanks for advice.

Thou the advice came in after I complete with success. (With lotsa trial and error) Really appreciate your explanation very much. Thanks. [emoji106]

I managed to get the partition magic working (flashing and flashing). Now its working with bauner 7.1 with 3.96gb. [emoji2]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mjrifath:
Hi Jackwu,

Is it possible to use a philz kernel (odin version) along with pit file instead of full rom. Since this has been mentioned on op. But going through the thread I could not find any comments regarding kernel+pit file for partitioning.

Just I want to ensue, please.

Regatds
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jackwu696:
Hai. Yes actually u can. Preferably choose the XXLTA vers. I prefer the whole rom way as to ensure the partitioning success. If I'm not mistaken, you should tick auto reboot off and when finished do the 3 button combo to enter recovery instead and do all the wipes there but I'm not really sure about the aftermath..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] knedge:
That is correct...I did it the same way for Bauner's 7.1

(Though ended of formatting the external SD erroneously...but, thats another story)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jackwu696:
Ah Yes.... I forgot about the risk of erasing your ext sd by mistake... Hahaha.

Hi.

First thank you for the mod. :good:

It worked fine on my n7000 16gb. :cowboy:

Is there a way to increase in the same time the system partition and the data partition in a safety way.

- Add 2Gb for the data partition (as i did)

- Add 500 mo (maybe 1gb to be quiet) to the system partition

:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jackwu696:
Hai. Yes I get that error too, but on CWM 6.0.4.5+. Using the earlier version works perfectly.

Choose any 4Gb Pit. If you're fixed on not ever going back to TW based rom, then feel free to flash the preload edition which further frees 500 MB of preload partition, But I personally use the non preload edition. The catch is, IF you should ever feel like selling your device and need too flash back to stock, then you will nedd to flash the stock PIT files edition again while if you stick with non preload, you can change roms anytime you want and flashing stock firmware will also be no problem.

Hi [MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION] / All,

Wonder if someone could be give me some quick advice please... I am wanting to partition my N7000 phone, as 2Gb for Apps/Apps Data is simply not enough. And despite trying to find an SD-Ext (2nd Partition) solution for a while now, it seems our device simply doesn't support this method... So only way to go is to re-partition.

I'd like to allow (or expand) my current /Data partition from 2Gb, upto 4Gb.... I won't need any more than that.

However, the bit I'm confused about, is whether to have Pre-Load or not Pre-Load? As most of the time (99%) I will be using various custom roms. From official CyanogenMod CM9 (rare, but for old times sake) upto JellyBean, KitKat and of course Lollipop roms. Now and again, I'd like to flip back to stock, just to see how things were... I think in the part I've used a DeOdexed (if thats the right term) version of a Stock. But as I flash a mates S2 with stock through Odin not so long ago, might even try official Stock via Odin....

So, main question / answer I seek.... Is there a PIT file I can use / need, that gives me my 4GB of /Data that allows me to flash all the custom roms, but also to allow me to switch back to Stock should I need too....?? Or do I have to flash the Stock Pit to ONLY allow stock installations...??

(Edit: from which Zip package would I need to use please)

I assume, flashing Stock Pit back to phone fully restores it back to (like now) 100% as Samsung originally created it....

By flashing these PIT files over a time, will it cause the device to lose storage...?

Will it eventually kill that Flash Disk...?

And is it fully eMMC safe?

Many thanks for your help.... Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:

So there's no different between a Pre-Load PIT, and a NON Pre-Load Pit....??

2) Windows does not see it when connected, to format it...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jackwu696:
Hai Lister, even though u already solved it, I just want to say that there IS a difference between a preload n non-preload PIT. All Samsung based Rom has a preload partition (@500 mb) while AOSP roms and newer unofficial custom roms has that disabled. The difference just lies in that IF u want to claim back that extra 500 MB for your custom roms (KK based). For me I flashed the non preload one which enables me to switch back and forth between stock and custom roms. Should u flash the preload PIT, if u want to revert back to stock based then you will have to flash the non preload PIT otherwise u will have problems. (ALL This is stated in the OP though)

Cheers.

Hi [MENTION=5663185]Jackwu696[/MENTION],

Aye, no I'm glad you've still replied... Even though I have now sorted it, and solved my memory shortage issue by use of PITs and got it to work in the end. I've been asking for days about various memory storage issues, and solutions and everyone got ignored (not necessarily in the N7000 threads) and when asked about the PIT method, was still over a day or so before anyone posted in the thread, even though it wasn't in relation to my query. I thought for a thread with as many pages in replies, yet no one seemed to share any info... I'm used to waiting, but as I've re-built my phone many many times over during festive season, due to other failed work-arounds for lack of storage, I kinda hoped for an answer sooner, as was going out that night and needed it working... / I'm used to waiting normally.. :)

Even though it was all explained in the original post, I just thought the way it was worded, left me a little confused... As it seemed to suggest to me the same thing, both a PreLoad PIT or not... seemed to end in same result. And so was confused as to which I needed, if I wanted to flash (or return) to a stock rom. I thought if I chose the one with a smaller (but still EXISTANT) PreLoad, that I would have more chances... From your information, it turns out I was wrong...

Wished I had seen your advice before I flashed the previous PIT, as it now makes more sense to me.... Unfortunately I went with the PIT that had a 45MB PreLoad, and a 4GB /Data partition. So now if I flashed a Stock Rom (beit official Stock from Sammy, or a DeOxed Custom Stock) I'm gonna run into issues...

So would you advise, if I ever wished to return to factory firmware stock... That I now need to flash a PIT with NO PreLoad and then flash Stock PIT. Or can I just flash Stock PIT without anything else before hand...?? In future, I will just flash NON-PreLoad as it's not needed for any ROMs other than official stock, and even then ya need the STOCK PIT layout, and not the reduced PreLoad PIT....

I am ever so grateful for these PITs, and it is easier (NOW) than I had first thought.... Actually makes our N7000's more useful again.... :)

It's okay Lister, You don't have to flash the PIT now. Just remember to flash any NON Preload PIT before reverting back to stock base roms though. I think just a measly amount of 50 MB should not be worth the effort of reflashing PIT Files though, especially if we are a flash freak, LoL.

Hi Rafi,

Yes, not sure why the PreLoad ones exist, as you can't flash a stock rom to them anyway.... So yeah, go with the NON-PreLoad, and flash the 4GB PIT...

OR can I simply flash Philz Kernel first and then use PIT and Philz again? (is taking shortcut allowed)? (currently as I am on CM12-RESURRECTION REMIX LP)

Hi [MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION] / All,

Ok guys, as you know/aware... I went through this process, and all went well (in the end). Unfortunately I went with the one that used a smaller PreLoad area, of about 45Mb. Not the end of the world, as it still gave me 4GB partition for Apps/Data.

However, I went to install either of the two Lollipop builds, and ended in a continual loop of the splash screen until the battery drains. However if I install a KitKat based rom, all works fine...

So I used the STOCK PIT to return to stock layout, and the Lollipop roms install fine...

So now that I am back to STOCK PIT LAYOUT, as it originally shipped I went to install the correct PIT (4gb) this time, without any /PreLoad partition. I check in a disk storage App, and see I still have a 500Mb assigned to /PreLoad.... (as though it ignores and leaves it there anyway???)

Have I done something wrong, not formatted something correctly...??

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jackwu696:
Hola lister.

As I stated before, flashing a non preload PIT will allow a small partition of "preload" to be left in your device. There's nothing wrong with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hola [MENTION=5663185]Jackwu696[/MENTION],

We meet again, my good friend.... a-haaaa!!! ;) lol

Sorry, I think I mis-understood your original post (and the OP 1st post too). Although I think I've finally got it, the penny has finally DROPPED!!! :P lol

So basically, the PreLoad PIT that I used at first, the one that had 45Mb PreLoad and 4GB data... Basically restores some of the 500Mb of normal PreLoad and shared somewhere else in system. But is not compatible with many roms.... So....

1) Stock PIT - Is when you've had enough of all the d*cking around, you gonna sell ya Note to a stranger, so you return it back to a 2GB /Data partition and a 500MB /PreLoad

2) 45Mb PreLoad PIT - Is when you want to increase your /Data from 2GB to 4GB/6GB/8GB/10GB/12GB, but also reduce your 500MB /PreLoad down to 45Mb so that the rest of the 455Mb is shared else where on the phone. However this PIT (despite its added storage benefit, is not all that compatible with newer ROMS)

3) Non-PreLoad PIT - Actually does still contain the 500Mb /PreLoad, and is as close to stock PIT as can be, just it increases the measly 2GB /Data, to 4GB/6GB/8GB/10GB/12GB... It keeps the 500Mb /PreLoad, but you can flash Stock and Custom roms with this...??

Think I've got it now..... LOL
