STORAGE CAPACITY

________________________________________

Flashing this firmware on a 500mb nand chip

Has the following storage results upon first boot

Data/ 80.9mb (was originally 20MB)

System/ 100.5mb (was originally 9KB)

If you wish to flash this to a bigger nand chip simply change the start address and length addresses in the scatter to match your devices partition info

---------☆☆☆MODIFIED BOOT IMG☆☆☆---------

as these R11 max only come with a 512mb NAND chip with OS installed there is only 80.9mb Data and update storage after flash of my firmware,using the modified boot.img allows you to use the devices SD card as the devices ROM & internal storage,

This has not been implemented into the build due to firmware size when pulling,

If you wish to use the modifed Boot.img and SD card you MUST partition the SD card BEFORE flashing the firmware if you wish to use the boot.img which is OPTIONAL rom will work fine without it,

Partition your SD card as follows with 2 partitions in this exact order EXT 4 Cannot be first or you will face data decryption error until rectified.

•PRIMARY partition - FAT32

•PRIMARY partition - EXT4 (label it mmcblk0p2)

To flash with modified boot.img follow steps above for SD card, and steps below for flashing.

__________________________________________

FLASHING THE FIRMWARE

__________________________________________

********This is a "UBIFS" filesystem*********

EMMC storage devices are NOT compatible

Unless you change the scatter to support your file system and even then it may require porting still.

Open SP flash tool, and open the scatter.file and change flash method to download only and click download, plug the device in while switched off and the device will flash,

DO NOT USE "format all + download" unless you have a backup of your firmware and security partition or you WILL lose your imei.
