Hello fellas,
I would like to inscrease the system partition size so i can be able to flash some gsi roms that are larger than my device's system partiton, sush as pixel experience 11 gsi rom.
I know there is way using parted and gdisk but i'm not really familiar with linux and i'm afraid i can do something stupid and brick my device.
Does anyone with knowledge could please make a detailed tutoral teaching how to to that? 4 gb is a new good size for. Thanks in advance, cheers.

Is this idea possible at all?
i just wanna make my system partition a littttttlllee bit bigger
and since their the same chipset would that be possible
I know nothing about hardware so i apoligize if this is a stupid question
I need this solution too.
p.s. Last stock ROM for 32A (Singapore ROM with SenceUI) seems that it allocates more system space then other roms before.
Seems pretty plausible I think ill ask shafty about ot
I'm sure this has been thought of a few times. It would be great to be able to consoladate them. I wish you could, but I don't think this is possible. You would think that would have been done by now if it were. Anyway, I don't know the layout of the nand, I could probably go check, but I'm guessing system and data are seperate pieces of flash memory. Maybe if we could tell the system to reverse the partitions might be a simpler way.

Ok, so if all it takes is a change in the kernel....
so basically what i gathered from that you can just tell the kernel to point at a different partition??
eg tell kernel to make "data" into "system and "system" to data
i dont need more than 40 megs for the apps i use daily and being able to fit the complete HTC sense for magic in the 'system' partition
doesnt the RUU update change the partition sizes for the HTC Sense install for magic?
so did i do well with my google searching lol

yes if i could make heads or tails out of kernel stuff....
You can boot up the kernel with another offsets for the NAND, but the NAND still is partitioned by the SPL, so if you boot up the kernel with other offsets, it won't boot up because the area with the offsets set in fastboot or boot.img won't have a YAFFS2 partitioning.
So basically we would have to mod the SPL..

This seems to be a SPL. Not sure if it will work on our phones.

Doesnt the new Sense release include an SPL as well?
if it doesn and what other people have said about their systems being repartitioned after the RUU update to sense means that the SPL has already been coded for us
we just gotta figure out how we can apply/use this with our devices
I'm new to AOSP and met some problmes with non-MTD devices. I'm trying to get detailed info about the internal flash (eMMC?), and since the stock ROM on my device didn't use MTD, so I cannot find these info from /proc/mtd. I can get the partition info from some alternative ways (/proc/partitions, fstab, fdisk, df etc). But there is still one thing bothering me, I'm not sure about the block size for the internal flash. I'm now using 128K to make the system passing build, but would like to have this info before flashing image to the device.
So any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
I got some progress, the internal flash is eMMC 4.4 device from Toshiba. Part No.:
THGBM2G6D2FBAI9 sc8076
But the datasheet from Toshiba doesn't mention erase block size. Does anyone has idea about it? Thanks a lot!
It seems Moto Milestone2 (ME722) used same flash part (THGBM2G6D2FBAI9), can anyone help to provide the output of "cat /proc/mtd"? Thanks a lot!
I have been looking for the data sheet for this device, and have had little success finding a pdf online. Could you possibly share this? Also, for what it is worth the Motorola Droid X2 (MB870) is another device that also uses this eMMC.
First, I'd like to apologize for my bad english.
Second, I'd like to thanks all of the members of this forum for their work and in advance for helping me to solve my problem.
I'd to install the last version of Tytung's ROM NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.3 but I don't understand very well this sentence :
Please use at least 180MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.

Actually my HD2 is running Windows Phone and I haven't do any operations yet.
_I'd Like to use HD2 Android NAND Toolkit because it seems more simple to use but which sizes must I choose for MAGLDR and cLK ?
_And most important, can I really install Tytung's ROM on my HTC with only 512 Mo RAM ?
Please, help me quit Windows Phone for a real system !
Hi,
just got a HTC U11 Life phone running already Android 10.
I read and serached the forum for quite a while now and I couldn't figure out how to root the phone
According to this there is no working TWRP, but then again I find comments from people who say got TWRP working (here for instance).
In this HowTo Collection there are instructions, but I can't find the referenced patched image
Now I'm wondering if the problem is that my phone is already on Android 10 or did I just miss some important things?
Help appreciated!

@Trymitius great news bro ,thank you very much.
Btw your device probably (dont know for sure, cuz didn't test yet) need to be unencrypted. I've provide correct path in fstab for FBE but as i mentioned before it wasn't tested. Just in case, if you need to decrypt your devices, simply edit fstab.qcom + fstab.htc which you can find in /vendor/etc and change "filencryption=" to "encryptable" at system mounting line.
Just be careful, after that you'll need to reboot your device and wipe data or userdata partition. If you going to have any issues about/system partition you can fix it by editing fstab.qcom + fstab.htc and change "ro" --γγ "rw" at /system line.
thanks trymitius but I haven't bought the device yet. I believe in a few days it will be in my hands
sorry for my bad English.
Hi. I'm wondering how I should compile aosp or lineageos. This device have different partitions like super partition which seems to have system files inside. Anyone have clue how to start with that?
