Help!!!...how to convert mediatek update.zip to sp flashable format?
Related
I am making a rom and I would like to flash the filesystems all to ext2 first
And then flashing my ROM files... Is this possible in some way?
Can I flash a boot.img within a update.zip?
I open this thread because I never found any proper solution for mtk6575 repartition, it's little different from other mtk phones.you have to edit the mbr file for increasing internal storage and also the scatter file...here i share a zip file it's not my work....file is moded by jassonrr for micromax a90 I used it on my clone note2 mtk 6575 and it's working for me..it's for 4gb rom you get 1.97gb internal and 571mbu on SD card.
First of all do a cwm backup and also you need a working flash tool backup, make it sure this thing.
now select scatter file give in the zip using sp flash tool and try to flash only mbr ebr1 and ebr2.if it works for you than go to cwm recovery wipe data factory reset,restore your backup..wipe cache partition and dalvic cache.reboot your phone format SD card...you will see your internal storage increase in settings.
Now come to the tough part if above steps is not working for you.....at first open your scatter file and given scatter file match all the value except user data and fat partition,also in the given scatter file it's replace the android name with gionee so it's not a problem be sure just values are same.
If everything ok than replace the value of user data and fat partition from given scatter to your scatter file....now open sp flashtool format your phone except bootloader....now select the modified scatter file and flash the full rom with given mbr ebr1 ebr2....after complete the flash go to cwm recovery wipe data factory reset...restore your backup wipe cache partition and dalvic cache,reboot phone and format SD....you will find your new internal storage in settings....
Do it with your own risk.. I am not responsible if any thing happen to your phone.
Bugs: you cannot see your external SD from cwm recovery.

make your own stable baseline, especially with cwm-based recovery
boot as per normal
copy MTK6575_2gb_for apps_512_internal memory.zip from to ext sdcard
Boot to recovery, which is cwm-ported if based on the baseline,
Prepare cwm backup in ext sdcard
install update from zip
MTK6575_2gb_for apps_512_internal memory.zip by those MTK gods - angelobiz
it basically have scripts that update the MBR (the key in MTK6575).
Usually other MTK devices need to modify EBR1 and 2
but this is not applicable for most MTK6575 models,
you will just hang at boot or dead if you try modifying EBRs
it ended perfectly by formating the usr_data and fat partition.
then restore your cwm backup
where it will fill up back your whatever baseline to the new space
boot as per normal
PROFIT!!!!
testing now
Ls,
Is it possible to convert the .rar roms as found on needrom.com to a .zip install file that I can use with ADB sideload and/or copy to sdcard and use restore from sdcard?
I seem to have troubles finding the right usb driver/ the flashtool wont connect to the device.
The .rar roms are usually about 160+ Mb the .zip for sideload or sdcard recovery are about 450+Mb.
Highest regards,
Mac

Hi,
I use a Stock 5.1.1 Android Rom on my S6 Edge LDU with some selfmade modifications (Debloat, Kernel Upgrades etc.).
Flashed a new Kernel (F2FS compatible) but my Rom seem's to be not compatible with F2FS because it get's always stuck on Boot Loop.
I tryed the following way:
Create a Flashable Zip -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2746044
And converted it to F2FS -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/development/linux-ext-to-f2fs-rom-converter-t2840303/page2
...but i always get the Device not Compatible error...
Is there anyway to Convert my TWRP Backup to a F2FS compatible format ?
Thanks

As far as I know, probably not. F2fs is a type of flash file system, you can format partitions with this type of file system which would be specific to that partition. Because when you back up from twrp, the backup isn't in a particular flash file system format, it's not a partition to be able to convert it plus going from one flash file system to another completely wipes the that partition.

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what the point was. The backup's an archive of files, and making it a flashable zip doesn't make it a ROM. Files will restore to whichever FS is on the device.
