Hi guys :)

I decided to buy a Lenovo tablet because I have a PS4 and want to make it Remote Play compatible - and the IdeaTab A10-70 is very cheap and with decent hardware, but here's my problem - CyanogenMod doesn't work with it.

It's absolutely a big downstep for me, cause Lenovo comes with a lot of Bloatware :mad:

I rooted the device with Kingo Root and TinyXP through Virtual Box - no problem at all - but after I rooted it, it won't update to 4.4.2 and halts every time I try.. I tried rolling back the root, but it still won't update.

Is there anyone who can help me? I'm feeling like I'm going in circles here, and there is no progress if I keep hitting walls :(

You will have to do a restore using the Lenovo assistant then the update should work.

Hey mate, thx for the great work. Used 6gb pit since you posted it and it worked fine so far, now I'm switching for a bigger 8Gb partition, need more space. :good::good:

I will add a little OT question (I'm new of forum can't write a pm for that, sorry!): could you be able to mod i9105P (Samsung Galaxy S2 plus) pit files? This phone have always low space for app and it isn't really supported by community (probably because of low numbers). I could be able to extract pit files if you can mod them!:D

Combine Device-Memory and USB-Storage

Hey,

wouldn't it be nice to change the partition-layout of the Note N7000 to something like the layout on the S3, so I don't need to use an external SD for my Pics, etc. or change the size of the Device-memory every time I've installed to many apps. So i would suggest to combine the former Device-Memory and USB-Storage to ONE big new Device-Storage which should be used like its used on the S3.

So the Storage-settings should only list the Device-memory and how it's used by the different types of Files/apps.

Is that even possible? or does it recommend some additional rom modding?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSlayer69:
Hi [MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION], I can (and I will) provide pit files, there is a correct way/software to extract them? I can't send you PM because I'm a new member, so please follow this Q&A 3D.

I found this thread about the phone (the 2 variants, i9105 and i9105p, last one just with NFC), with some pit files as attachment: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428753

Can they be useful (last update Nov 2013) or do you need fresh ones?

Thx for your effort

[MENTION=6151547]Elwood1990[/MENTION]: I think metalgearhathaway's mod pit files already do what you mean/need: just use 16Gb pit files, and you will have one big partition for appz and more.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elwood1990:
But wouldn't the OS or some Apps still try to write save some appdata and stuff on the no longer existant USB-Storage especially the camera, and I'm not quite sure about that, but I think it's not possible to access the Device-Memory per UBS on Windows, so I couldn't put stuff on my phone that way anymore...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSlayer69:
Well, it's def impossibile it happens. If you use the 8Gb pit file, 8Gb from all your 16Gb will be granted for apps, and about 5Gb for app data, photo, vids and more. And everything, even device-memory, still avaible trought USB. You just need to connect phone to PC, install USB drivers if WinUpdate don't do it by its own, and wait until N7000 appears as an external device. It will have 2 HD: external SD storage (your SD, if you got it) and device's memory (it will be about 5Gb). BTW with a Linux file browser or with a root allowed app (like ES File Manager with Root option turned on ON, or Root Explorer), you can see every byte of your phone.

GT-N7000 rooted on Nightowl CM12 5.02 Beta6

Hi

I am an absolute newbie newbie and would like your patience and kindness! I only partially understand what is being discussed and although I really want to increase the internal partition of my phone, I do not want to end up with a brick!

I have a GT-N7000, 16GB, rooted, with CWM 6.0.5, running Nightowl CM12, Beta6.

What is the simplest way I could create a 4GB or 6GB internal partition and 12GB or 10GB SD partition? I am quite confused over the whole procedure. Could someone be kind enough to explain step by step, with links for the appropriate files to download?

Hi metalgearhathaway!

Thanks for providing the PIT file for the N7000!

Anyway as i seen you said that you will help us in creating those PIT file for special usage, may i request one? ;p

Here we go, i would like the /data to be set at 6GB, /system set at 2GB would be enough as it doesnt fit enough for the LP with only 800MB, /sdcard0 at around 6GB should be ok and the last is /preload which is needed by my current LP Rom which i want to stay with it around 512MB. If there is any other space left should be fine if you put them all together to /sdcard0 ^^ (Leave the /efs and /cache as in the Screenshot i provided would be fine!)

Sorry for all of this messy counting, hope you'd done this one sooner! ^^

Confused about repartioning instructions

Hi

Great job! I am about to repartition my n7000. I will run my rooted phone on Nightowl Beta7. I will use Step4a, which I have been advised to follow. However, I am confused about Step8. What Kernel do I flash? Do I do this in recovery? Then do I follow up by flashing Nightowl Beta7, rebooting and then doing a factory reset? I also have Titanium Backup recovery, including the normal full app and data backup, as well as an update zip. Can I use either or both and, if so, how and when?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pippo35:
Well,when you go to no8,reboot to recovery and flash any kernel you want,for example bauner s kernel..after this reboot again to recovery and flash Nightowl rom as usual..for titanium I can t tell you because I never use it..I prefer to install from the beginning all apps to avoid possible bugs and i don't have anything else which needs to be saved,so I never needed it..

Hi Developer. Thank you so much.

I would like to share my experience and any advice if I did wrong while I did partition.

I'm on Du kk4.4.4 with raw kernel. I'm also a Mac user. Half day I'm learning about heimdall took me to Ahhh..I don't even understood. After that I found Jodin3 from Google and also put me in Ahhh ..situation when the website forbidden. My last chance is go to internet civer cafe. Installed Odin, download 4gb pit file and I couldn't find modem with .tar (OP 4a) so I need to use Op 4b. Again couldn't found cwm in tar file.

Eager to partition, I definitely don't care. Flash fit file and my phone reboot after that. My internal 'unwritable' but have 4gb partition. I go into recovery and installed cmw. Full wipe everything. I did internal format in vfat. Installed ROM and gapps. Reboot.

I even don't know if I'm on the right or wrong. I'm not followed op from OP to the end. So please advice me

Hi! First of all thank you for your work and forgive me for my bad English.

I tried to flash on my n7000 both 4 and 6 data pit files (mod preload and don't mod) and everything seemed to work properly. I only noticed that EVERY RECORDING ACTION wasn't possible. Video recording (I tried a huge number of camera apps), audio recording apps didn't work at all and they always freeze the phone. I usually work with a tuner app for musical instruments: it registers sounds and gives you back the frequencies of the sounds you've entered. The tuner didn't work at all.

I tried your pit files with an enormous numbers of roms (kk 4.4.X).

I decided to go back to the original 2gb pit and everything is fine now!

Any explanation about this problem?

Thank you!

UPDATE!!!

Three days later the recording issues are back again. Your pit files don't seem to be involved at all.

I searched the web and I finally found out that the problem is the last update of the 'Google search' app with its bad working "ok Google" Voice option.

I'm trying to repartition with 45Mb preload PIT and stock XXLTA rom but Odin always fails in the process. I don't know why. I've tried to find a solution but can't seem to figure it out.

The step by step guide says to flash with Odin using stock rom with pit file. And the same time it's said that the 45Mb pit files are not compatible with stock roms. So should the 45Mb pit files be flashed only with .tar kernels and not with the whole rom?

Advice?

Hi metalgearhathaway,

I've been looking at this guide for over a year since my (last) N7000 hit it's device storage limit. Sadly my old device was also a little...warn. Had the typical warn-out USB port and other issues. Well, after a bath in paint and being kicked across a carpark (both truly epic fails) my insurance got me a shiny new one. Carrier-free which was nice.

So...my first reaction? LETS FIX THE SOFTWARE!

I followed your instructions nigh to the letter. The only changes I made were to have rooted the device beforehand. I used PhillZ + CWM recovery (latest one I could find).

When I opened ODIN and selected a PIT file (8gb) I also used the related MD5SUM that I'd already flashed as the ROM previously. This caused me to get the annoying exclamation thingy on restart (no issue to me).

Everything restarted fine (heart in mouth...not done this kind of wizardry in reality before) and it formatted the internal storage just fine. The only issue...is that the device memory is STILL reading 2gb, but now the internal SD has dropped to 6gb - the space re-assigned has clearly gone SOMEWHERE...but I'm not sure where.

Any advice?

I don't think I did a stupid.

Also...thanks for providing a way for us to set our devices free! I've been looking forward to this ever since I found out it was possible.

Is your phone the 16gb or 32 gb variant? There are two 8gb pits. One has preload and one does not, which did you flash?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizardTizzle:
Quick replies...hot damn! Thanks!

Mine's the 16gb variant. Wasn't aware they'd made a 32gb until I saw it on here.

I flashed the non-preload version. I couldn't exactly work out 100% which one I needed but I thought it was the right one...followed a logical process and stuff to pick it. At least after 20 hours awake logic.

So...what's the prognosis Doc?

Edit: Also, I've just snagged the vanilla 4.1.2 Sammy ROM from Sammombile if I need to flash back to Stock.

Edit 2: Sleep reigns supreme. I've taken a punt and un-rooted it and flashed it back to stock. Stock PIT. I will now follow the instructions again and see what happens. After that I'll flash PhillZ etc.

Edit 3: Well, I should have done this the first time. Doing it all from Stock made it work perfectly. The hard factory reset was the step I think I missed...even so I'm now repartitioned rooted and reflashed and as happy as a pig in ****. Now I can play with some other kernels and stuff...keep this phone running for another 4 years :D

Thanks for making me stop and think logically and re-examine my workings.

Hi,

sorry for raising this question again, but I'm really confused. I cannot find any ROM in .tar format (or any other format that Odin 3.0.9 accepts as PDA). Besides, I already have a .zip ROM that could be flashed by using CWM recovery mode on the Phone. So, is it possible to 1) flash via ODIN, using only the PIT file that will re-partition the internal storage and then 2) flash my .zip ROM from the phone. In other words, does 1) wipe CWM, os is the recovery mode still usable after that?
