This program does not need any SDCARD, it resizes the internal flash memory.

In your case, you have 32GB of internal flash memory, and this program let you to resize each partition as you want.

In general, there are 4 partitions, in this order : ANDROID (partition that contains the android system, mounted on /system), CACHE, DATA (mounted on /data and contains all apps you install) and at last FAT partition, that acts like an internal SDCARD, needed by some application (for exemple a GPS app store the maps here) and the maximum of space is given for this partition.

In my case (MT6592 with 16GB internal flash), I do not need the FAT partition, because I have an external SDCARD and I prefer to give the DATA partition the maximum of space, so I can install a lot of apps than before.

Other persons likes increase the ANDROID partition (and decrease the DATA or the FAT one)

For the CWM recovery, it is as usual, before doing any thing, we do a backup from within the recovery, and after resizing and flash the new scatter, we have to restore this backup.

The scatter used for resizing, must be created by MtkDroidTools, while doing a backup and creating files for SPFlashTool. here we are talking for backup from within MtkDroidTool, not the Recovery one.

I hope I understand your quetion :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] parasthakur37:
That's okay but I'm too scared to touch internal partitions, I read somewhere, a noob flashed a custom ebr1 & ebr2 partition files from sp tools and he bricked his device.

So I'll wait for someone else with only internal memory to try it out.

And, after we resize the data partition, does it format all the partitions by default or do we have format them? Or we can just restore the backup without formatting anything?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
The format process will be done while restoring the backup from CWM recovery.

No way to break the phone this way :)

The program does not modify any original file, all files modified, scatter.txt, MBR, EBR1 and EBR2, will be saved as scatter_MOD.txt, MBR_MOD, EBR1_MOD and EBR2_MOD.

Even with a wrong set of those files, you will not break the phone, all you have to do is to reflash with the original scatter (never touched) and your phone will become like before.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
v2.2 does not see the FAT partition.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Hi iZLeep,

The problem with old scatter style, like yours, is that it does not provide the FAT partition size, and without this information, the program can not resize it (how it can resize a partition with an unknows size ? it wil resize until what ?) so the program continue working (unlike previous versions) for people who want to resize ANDROID partition for examlpe.

The only solution I see, is to provide manualy this information : MtkDroitTools can provide this information, but the program is not ready yet to receive it : I am thinking aboat adding a dialog box to invite the user to provide manualy the size of the FAT partition, when the program can not find it in the scatter.

If you want tell me and I add this in a test version and you can test it with your files, OK ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Yes, you are correct and that's were the problem lies. Maybe it would be better to have the results of this

cat /proc/dumchar_info

included and not just rely on the scatter.txt as the former provides a more detailed picture of the partition info. MTK Rom studio requires the firmware.info

cat /proc/dumchar_info > /sdcard/firmware.info

I can edit EBR, MBR and scatter.txt manually as I've previously done on my MTK devices (MT6575, MT6577 & MT6589) but I've long sold them and was testing your program on a friend's phone. If you could throw in a test version, I'll gladly test it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Please test version 2.3 and tell me.

I use, if finded in the same directory as scatter or its parent, the firware.info, thank you for the hint :)

If the no firmware.info finded, the program will ask you for the FAT partition size.

Do not forgot, while asking you for the FAT size, to starts with 0x if it is in hexadecimal.

If not, just copy/paste the size (in decimal format).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Version 2.3 is here.

main change : add th ability to use firmware.info, and if not present, the program will ask for the FAT partition size if needed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Beta version works but the resulting EBR and MBR had some differences with the original hack (manual editing of EBR and MBR) that I did which may result in boot failure if flashed on the device. Though, I have yet to flash the modded files, as I don't have the phone.

Version 2.3 fails to recognize the scatter.txt file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Witch scatter.txt, the modded one?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EnerJon:
Awesome tool bro (y) few months ago when i did it manually for my device, then i've come to know it can also be done programically, i even collected few commandline tools to extract partition size details from EBR & MBR files but couldn't spend much time on this project, and here you are, with this great tool (y) great work my friend (y)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Thank you very match :)

For keemi : version 2.31, it can now handle scatter or firmware.info without any FAT partition infos.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
The original.

UPDATE: version 2.31 also does not recognize original scatter file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Are you sur that the scatter, MBR, EBR1 and EBR2 are for the same ROM?

If yes, can you please provide me those files?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Yes, they're files from the stock firmware of the phone (mt6577 chipset). Though, i did not encounter this problem on a mt6589.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
I am not sur that is a windows problem, can you do this please : remove or rename firmware.info and retry.

If it ask you for FAT size, you cancel or give the size (second field in firmware.info) and tel me if it works.

If it works, please provide me firmware.info so that I can search what happened.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
I've done that when I encountered the same problem on v2.31. Renaming or removing firmware.info results in the same error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
The program search the firmware.info in the scatter folder and also in its parent folder, have you rename it in this 2 places? In the logs is there any mention to firmware.info ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Tried this at home and it works but w/o the firmware.info in the same folder as the scatter.txt. If firmware.info is present, program throws that error. So to make it work, FAT size need to be input manually.

A suggestion, instead of dragging the horizontal bar to resize the selected partition, is it possible to just type the size in MB or GB for it to be more accurate.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Can you please provide me your firmware.info to see where is the problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Attached as requested.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
Thank you iZleeP : see version 2.32
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Working great. BTW, I think you also need to modify the firmware.info in conjunction with the scatter.txt. So that when you load the modded scatter.txt, the program will report correct partition sizes if the matching firmware.info is used.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreambo:
I have think to that, but to be complete, not only fat size must be updated in firmware.info, but also for all partitions sizes and starts.

So it is a bit complicated.

I prefere do not touch this file, it is related to the original scatter that is not touched too.

And also, what is the interest of modding a modded scatter (I do it however only for test) ? Better is to open the original scatter and modify it a second time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
It's not a necessity but it will help, esp. for those who do not have a backup of their stock firmware or forgot to make one using MTK Droid Root & Tools. Since most users (noobs) would just blindly flash anything w/o bothering to read and understand what it is for.

Anyway, it's up to you. Not that it really matters, since the program works the way it should it be.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
Could someone take a look at my scatter file? Its completely different from the average. Im looking to resize the app storage and none of the other apps help. The file is from the Cube T7
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dvalin21:
Never mind, found it on my own. MTK Droid don't work on 64bit SoC?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omareg94:
When I try to open MT6582_Android_scatter.txt file, it gives me:

MT6582_Android_scatter.txt is not readable or not valid!

The tool is able to read a file called ota_scatter.txt, but it reads weird sizes (System: 1.07GB, Cache: 0.12GB, Data: 0GB, Storage: 0GB) (the strange part here is the Data and Storage size being zero).

When I try to modify the System partition, I'm not able to make it more than 1.19GB and the Apply button is always deactivated.

I have attached EBR1, MBR and Scatter files, pulled from ROM X507-D5120-L-20150923 (ROM info), currently installed Lollipop Stock ROM on my phone (Infinix Hot X507 "16 GB ROM, 1 GB RAM, MT6582 ARM Cortex-A7 SoC").

F.A.Qs

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does this mod improved phone performance?

A: It is a collection of cherry-picked, modified & working tweaks for our phone. So, it do work.

Q: I can't find any changes even after flashing.

Q: Can I flash it on any Lollipop or Android 5.0.X+ rom?

A: Well, I can't assure you if it works on lollipop, as I haven't tested it on lollipop. And even your device might get bricked. So, proceed with your own caution.

Q: Can I include this in my custom rom?

A: No, instead you can link the users to this post.

[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
4000? You could use both.

First, describe your own research method. The questions, the method of reaching your audience, etc.

Next, analyze the results.

Then describe the official statistics.

Finish by comparing the two.

You then add a final conclusive part about how there may be a difference due to XDA being a specific target group within the entire maeket, and how that may have influenced your results.

That should easily amount to 4000 words. ;)

I cracked my display+touch on my s2 plus 3 weeks ago.

I wanted to buy iphone 5s but i got no cash till 5th month of '15 and i got no phone.

Is it worth buying a new display + touch + screen for my s2 plus? The screen is off all time (after i dropped the phone it showed screen but after that all goes purple - touch only works on top right of screen; and after 2-3 hours all goes black) but the keys works and sound works (plugged headphones and press the button to play music and works). The screen is ok but i see a crack that is i think on inside but not big deal (like a lil skratch). How much is it gonna cost me to replace all this? And is it worth?

Depend the costs... If you can fix cheaper it worth... If the cost are expensive maybe you should join some more money and buy another one equal, equivalent or better if you can

it costs 75% price of a s2 plus brand new. screw that.
