Hi all,
i'm from Italy, and I'm just waiting my new Milestone 2 from Expansys. The ship from France, so I don't know which firmware will be on board.
I would like to know if there is an Italian SBF. If not I can Nandroid my rom from a new phone, but i need help to do this.
It's possible to run a Nandroid without insert personal data?
It's possible to get an image from a clean phone, in order to have a clean image and share with community?
Thanks
Well i dont know what you mean actually, but yes you can create a Nandroid backup, and simply only upload System partition, wich is called system.img, this wont have any personal informations.. those are in data.img
Hi,
this info I need.
I need this image to have a way to restore my phone with factory and to share the image.
So I have to do a Nandorid Backup and to share only system.img?
And another question, i case i would like to restore phone as factory default what should i do to restore only system and no data?
Any Idea on how do a Nandroid in a simple way on Milestone2 ? Thanks
Factory reset.... well if you dont flash any other SBF just reset your phone by Recovery menu.. if you have a nandroid of ITALIAN SBF, and flash a UK SBF.. and want Italian back, just restore system.img and format cache & data..
Hi,
my MIlestone have UK rom. I have Euro Key Bug. Anyone know where get an Italian sbf?
Thanks
Is it possible to do a nandroid on stock partition table, then install repartition from Geno and then restore from that nandroid?
I don't think so but do a pinkscreen backup in case
Sent from my Impulse 4g running vPure Professional CM7.
Sorry for opening this old thread again, but im interested in getting the answer for this question aswell.
Im currently on the stock partition but i need more ROM space to install various mods, could i take a nandroid backup now and then install forumber2's partition and then restore it? Would it mess up something? Hoping for some expert to answer this!
Hey everyone.
I'll go straight to my problem.
My /data partition is broken. I can't mount it, just like if 1GB of space magically disappeared. Roms normally boot and work, but I can't install any apps. I remember that it happened after flashing modified SBF with Epsylon's CM9. Can't help it with flashing other roms (but I haven't tried stock Froyo yet, do you think it could help?) and I can't simply wipe as /data doesn't mount. Any suggestions on restoring the original partition layout?
Try flash SBF .... during flashing SBF file the partitions are formated so it may help
Hi all guys...I would to buy the lenovo a3000-h (the version with 4gb of storage and the expandable memory), I would root the tablet and swap the partition so I can install the apps on the sd...but I have some questions...I have to reflash the stock rom if I need the warranty, right? so how can I backup the stock firmware?If I backup it and, after root, I will reflash the stock rom, it will cover the trace of the root ( so I can use the warranty)?thanks

After u install twrp recovery you don't modify your stock rom though no ota updates.but u can replace it with stoct recovery again.. if u mess up with stock rom yeah u can get it from the above link ..
i am asking about re partition...i am not asking about briking device or flashing stock rom...
Did modify the system partition or only the internal storage?
i have not changed yet.....i am asking if i change the partition of system and data partition...then i will be able to flash stock rom or problems will occur...
Ok, now changing the size of the system partition may create problems if you try to flash the stock img files, I think
ok..i will try that... ?
Whatever you do, don't reduce the size of the system partition, if you want to flash stock ROM later...zips should work fine though. I have seen people repartition xiaomi mi 3 phones and install custom roms.

What are you hoping to achieve with changing the partitions (e.g. are you changing the format of the partitions to ext4 or f2fs? Or are you changing the sizes of the partitions)?
If you're changing the partition sizes, I personally would leave the sizes alone, unless you're confident in the size of the partition that the stock ROM would need (and need in the future). From what I see on my device running Nougat NPJS25.93-14.4, cache (ext4) is 256 MB, system (ext4) is 2.5 GB and data (f2fs) takes up the rest of my internal storage.
As for changing formats, I don't know if the stock ROM will work with a system partition not formatted as ext4. Cache may or may not work with f2fs. Again, what are you hoping to achieve?
I want that nobody can flash stock rom on my phone normally....i have cerberus installed as root and if any theif can install firmware so that is useless and theif can enjoy using my phone...so i want to change partition sizes to make it difficult for anyone to flash factory images.

Speaking from my humble (and maybe ignorant) opinion,
I had a few experiences modifying partitions from other devices in the past (i did it no more than 3-4 times), i can say that when you flash a full stock factory image, normally, all the partitions recover his original sizes and formats.
All the devices that i modified included the General Partition Table (gpt.bin) file and the FSTAB config instructions into his full factory images, and from what i saw on the G4 plus, it includes these files too.
Here you have the complete partition table list taken from my G4 plus running 7.0 (NPJS25.93-14-4).
ohhh thanks ?
