[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] linx1287:
I have made huge mistake and i dont know what to do and would really appreciate some help. I was on Open Beta 17 with magisk and twrp and i decided i wanted to revert the stock using msmtool. I have used it before so i know about all the drivers to install and how to get to edl and so on. So i started the msm software and hit start, but a few seconds into the flash i got the an error "firehosewritedata failed" and since then my device cant be recognised by my computer and its not booting up or even showing that its charging. I tried reinstalling the drivers and trying msmtool but the device isnt recognised at all.

Booting into fastboot only says Update download failed please check your download flow is right
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] amirage:
Oh boy, that's a really bad situation. Is your EDL working? In EDL are you seeing the device as Qualcomm device in the device manager? If neither, try installing the Qualcomm drivers again and try EDL again..if still problem persist, head straight to the nearest service centre...

check this link too..

Thank you for the feedback, and the late reply. I eventually reinstalled all oneplus drivers again and put windows to debugging mode and tried one more msmtool flash, and after a lot of praying and swearing it finally flashed successfully. For future reference, windows debugging mode is a good place to be in for doing these flashes or to ensure no fails.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] prohibeat:
Hello

I did search the forums but with no success.

Ball button stopped working. Device still recognizes ball movements but pressing the ball doesn't seem to make any effect since yesterday.

Tried resetting device but no luck. To me it seems that microswitch may have been damaged.

Has anyone encountered this problem ? Should I return the device to Tmobile under warranty or is there another way to deal with it ? I also reflashed os to wm6 couple months ago. Is this breach of any warranty conditions ?

Thank you

Chris
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zuccster:
The ball button no longer works on my Orbit. I had put it down to using the latest B&B ROM, but it could well be hardware failure. I don't really want to downgrade to a WM 5.0 based ROM to find out.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ednap:
ZUCCSTER - My unit was supplied with Wm6 so I know the track ball works with that OS.

PROHIBEAT - You may be lucky enough that they ignore or do not identify the change in your flashed ROM but to my understand flashing the ROM does void the warranty. I'd say it's still worth a try in getting them to look at it if no one else comes up with options.

[ONE General] BoquinhaSK:
If I understand correctly, the system partition will now be 2.8 GB larger. So it will have a total of about 4.1 GB. Is that so?

BTW this is very good work. :good::good::good::good:
[ONE General] ilmich:
the /system partition are 'moved' at the end of the resized userdata partition.. so it's only 2.8G

I've made this decision for two reasons

no needs to move critical partitions

the unused space (the old /system partition) can be used in another way(for example a larger cache partition or a vendor partition)

Thanks a lot

Michele

EDIT: another reason for this method is that almost all custom roms works
[ONE General] BoquinhaSK:
I have one small problem. Internal storage (/sdcard) I haven't defined. Is it defined as "Invalid partition selection." Full storage is for /data.

How I can mount /sdcard?

Edit: I mean this: /sdcard, /storage/emulated/0, /data/media/0

I changed partition system to ext2 in TWRP.

And system partition si bigger. This works.

Edit2:

I have problem with flash new ROM. Flashing change filesystem from ext2 to ext4 always with smaller previous value. I have problem maybe with script. But I try it again tomorrow.
[ONE General] ilmich:
after formatting /data the filesystem is empty.. these directories are created when you first start android(if not found)

This is normal. Starting from nougat/oreo the building process of an android system creates a block-based flashable zip.

This means that the system partition is preformatted in ext4 and (for Oneplus One) with a size of 1.3G (the original /system partition). So you cannot change the type of filesystem.

Check if the script has the right permission (I'll update the guide).

Also keep in mind that, like others addon.d scrips, it works only with the OTA updater.

If you flash directly from recovery (changing rom, or dirty flash) you need to manually repeat the steps described for resizing partition and installing the script.

I've planned to create a flashable zip to automate these steps.

Thanks

Michele
[ONE General] ilmich:
little update... I've uploaded a simple flashable zip that resize filesystem of /system partition and install the addon.d script.

The procedure now is more simpler.
[ONE General] dathpo:
Hi ilmich, I followed your guide while flashing LOS 17.1 on my OPO and this allowed me to have a /system partition large enough to be able to have a large GApps installation, so cheers for that! However, I installed an OTA update on LOS 17.1 today (29/10 update) and that rebooted to TWRP which seemed to have installed the zip, but then entered a boot loop with several "Could not find x for ctl.interface_start" on the dmesg log. I can see the resizesystem script in the addon.d folder but something must've gone wrong because the partitions seem to have been restored to its default and /system seems to be 1.3GB again in TWRP. I will pull the partition table and post it here.

Update:

I was wrong, /system seems to be the same size on running sfdisk. The cause of the update fail must be somewhere else. Here's the /system partition from sfdisk:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 : start= 115671040, size= 5881856, type=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7, uuid=B17FA16F-3B1D-8D12-329D-88B49B096554, name="system", attrs="GUID:60"

I still don't understand why TWRP displays /system as 1303MB again though. Any idea?
[ONE General] Zyndstoff:
Still working...?

Are you still working on this guide?

I'ld love to try it, but I'm a little frightened since there seem to be issues about future udates of Lineage (see previous post).
[ONE General] ilmich:
Sorry for the late reply. For sure, but for now, I don't have with me my opo.

But if I understand correctly

update problems are not the repartition procedure.

I suppose that TWRP is built with 1.3Gb size limit (like everything that is based on opo device tree) and without mounting the filesystem show this static value.

But the power of this procedure (and the resize script) is that you can safely install your preferred rom. The filesystem is expanded in order to fill the 'new' partition size.

During my experiments, I've updated a lineage os (also simulating OTA by pushing a recovery command into the /cache partition), with and without GAPPS.

This guide, if executed step by step, should be safe.
[ONE General] ilmich:
I'm testing again my procedure. This is my situation

bacon:/ $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 2.7G 1.0G 1.7G 38% /
/dev/block/mmcblk0p28 52G 15G 37G 30% /data

I've latest official lineageos with some Gapps.

Now I'm waiting for an official OTA to see if anything goes wrong.
[ONE General] ilmich:
Hi all,

I've uploaded a new bacon-resize-system.zip that fixes the issue with OTA (wrong escape sequence when creating survival script in the updater binary).

Thanks all for the bug report.

Hello sir,

I am still using OPO in 2021 and i want 5gb system partition.. What will be start and end sectors for that changes? I am really confused so can you please recreate your post for 5gb and will you post it in reply?

Another one question if i flashed stock rom via fastboot then it will restore partition size to default or changes still remain which we did?

Thank You.

After that

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/block/mmcblk0p28 4521984 111476735 106954752 51G unknown

After this

echo "111476736,+" | ./sfdisk-arm --no-reread -N 14 /dev/block/mmcblk0

Am I right for 4.8gb??

Please answer of this 2 questions

1. If i flashed stock rom via fastboot then it will restore partition size to default or changes still remains which we did?

2. It is necessary to flash bacon-resize-system.zip everytime whenever we flash new custom rom or after ota updates?

Thank You.

You have to consider when corning says that they are talking about a flat piece of glass....now when samsung curves it and probably makes it thinner than the testing glass it goes back to the same durability as previous GG6 phones....I'm waiting to see some durability tests on the regular flat screen note20 but seems no one is (understandably) buying those.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] cpufrost:
These "tests" are no very realistic.

Imagine if a car magazine bought a new Ferrari and decided to test it by driving 100 mph down railroad tracks or in a corn field! :D

Want a realistic test especially for a woman? Put the phone in a big purse fall of crap they typically have, place in a paint can shaker for 1 hour. That would simulate a week's worth of wear?! ;)

The majority of users have a case. Even a thin one increases survivability of drops enormously. Except cases with little "raisivity", the rim over the edge, on direct drops to macadam parking lots and such.

I find it hard to believe they don't test the glass ON the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] seczdbz:
I was talking about corning themselves. When they are testing/showing the strength of the new glass it is a just a flat piece of glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
I'm talking about Corning as well. They have a partnership with Samsung and a few others. They manufacture the glass for Samsung. I still find it a reach to think they are testing a flat piece of glass in a vacuum and not in the shape of the final product attached to at least a dummy device that represents the final product.

This is my opinion but I'm curious if you have a source on such a definite statement of how they test their product.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] seczdbz:
It's the same concept of how samsung makes display panels for so many other phones but once that other phone maker gets the samsung panel they calibrate it to their own specs...I can't post any links yet but if you just search gorilla glass victus on YouTube there are videos showing them testing the glass...the dummy phone they test has a flat display and some other tests are just a piece of flat glass itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pcriz:
Umm okay. A display panel that produces different results based on the driver's attached to it is not at all an analogy for a single piece of glass.

Also the videos you are talking about are for an iteration of their glass. They are advertising a product that could be used by anyone willing to pay for it. The fact that their promo videos for it show flat panels is only proof that most devices people imagine will be flat.

Samsung doesn't make gorilla glass. Every glass panel Corning makes for various customers is made in Harrodsburg Kentucky. They hold patents for their glass, you mean that is handed over to the individual OEMs to do with it what they will?

I'll just agree to disagree. Samsung doesn't get a recipe for the glass and just does what they want. And if corning is cutting corners between flat panels and curved just to make numbers that's neither here nor their for the consumer. Samsung is a large advertising medium for them, so delivering a subpar version of the glass to one of it's biggest avenues for getting it's name out there would be kind of silly.

I guess I don't get your point, is Samsung taking a good product and making it worse? Is this a defense of corning?

In my eye glass is glass, even the Jerry Rig video shows it's marginally more durable at best compared to GG6 last year's model.

It's all hype and marketing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] seczdbz:
I agree with you that in the end its all just hype and marketing. It's glass and it will still break and scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] @home:
I just put a skin on the back, that's it. I cannot stand cases. I like to feel the glass n metal of the phone. No some £10 plastic case. Yuk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] chetly968:
Corning is not going to grab every different type of phone whose manufacturer purchased their glass and perform some sort of drop test. They make their sheet if glass and run it through its paces. After it's been altered to suit OEM needs, it's up to that party to come up with their own claims.
