Guest Amphoras Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Worked like a charm, no errors :) Excellent, thanks very much. Did you try flashing FTM to see if that still fits ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trueno2k Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 This is great news to hear that this has been resolved... I'm glad my 2cents worth was of help to you Amphoras... Now, I would very much appreciate it that you can send me the files with the partition layout (of 135MB sys & 2MB cache) I requested via pm that includes the new boot.img partition of course ^_^ It's a shame I don't have the knowledge or experience with HEX editing or I would have helped long ago, but nonetheless, the problem has been resolved and we now have a working partition TPT... Fantastic work Amphoras :thumbsup: :P The problem appears to have been the size of the boot partition. On the Blade, the boot and recovery partitions are the same size, so I assumed they were the same size here as well. It turns out this is not the case, and the recovery partition is 6mb and the boot partition is only 4mb. The Clockwork image is ~4.5mb, so it would be too big for the boot partition I assume this is why the errors were showing and why it didn't boot into clockwork as the partition wasn't being written. On the Blade, both partitions are 5mb, so I have changed them to this. There should now be enough space for clockwork in the boot partition, so the TPT should now work without giving errors and should boot into recovery after the TPT has finished. The stock recovery image is smaller than 5mb, so the recovery partition should still be big enough to hold that as well. If its not, flashing the original TPT will restore them to their original sizes. If someone could try this version of the 150mb system, 35mb cache TPT and see if it works without errors and boots into recovery when its done, I can update the others in this way as well. http://dl.dropbox.co...e-skate-tpt.zip MD5sum: 9ded013763541d3ccacea94d99d6f645 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic work Amphoras :thumbsup: :P Yep I can do. i still seem to have 64mb cache 150mb internal What rom are you using? Some of the ones that divert /cache to /data give funny values for the size of /cache. I've had it telling me I have 54mb cache before when I know its only 2mb on the Blade.

Guest xiaoyaoswim Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ok, here's the 150mb system, 35mb cache, 255mb data version. Used fonix232's program to build this one. Link: http://dl.dropbox.co...e-skate-tpt.zip Md5sum: d105f64bdd8dd8a46535c775ed17117b Sure, will make a few more of various sizes. I have flashed the partition_zte.mbn and appsboot.mbn from this image.bin, and have CM7 installed. It works perfect. Thanks for your great job!

Guest atillaahun Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Would you mind to check the Hungarian FW ( dropbox mirror ) came out recently? I mean, if you could use that as a base for recreate partition layouts. Edited November 19, 2011 by atillaahun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloading it just now, but other than the rom which gets removed anyway, I'm guessing the only difference will be the amss.mbn which I didn't include in the TPTs earlier (you don't need it, and the more stuff you flash the more chance one goes wrong). The only files that are actually included in the TPTs I posted are partition_zte.mbn and appsboot.mbn which I changed to the new layouts, partition.mbn and appsboothd.mbn which don't really have any effect on it, and the different .img files which flash the boot and recovery images. Its possible the appsboot.mbn file is slightly different as well, so I will have a look and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exist a tutorial of modding partition_zte.mbn and appsboot.mbn? I suppose that we can not use the Blade's editor to create customized files. ps.: I wonder if you could send me a PM about editing the partitions.

Well, I didn't try but if you're going to try don't forget to make it a GEN2! I think I will try it later if no one else, but anw I've been comparing the partition_zte and appsboot mbn's from the tool and from Amphoras partitioning 35MB cache, 150MB system & 255MB data and they look a bit different so Idk if that'll make any harm...

I've not used the Blade tool, so I don't know how it works/whether the files it makes would work or not. I will make a new thread tomorrow to keep them all together rather than spread out through this thread. If there's any other layouts people would like, let me know :).

Guest atillaahun Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Checked the Hungary appsboot.mbn, and it has a different md5sum, but I can't see anything obviously different about it. Thank you, I was just asking for it because we have some problems with the Hungarian Skates, the display is a bit insensitive sometimes, especially on the bottom above the buttons - dunno if anyone met this issue here, at least I haven't red about it in modaco -, so I hoped that the new FW may fix this, as Froyo fixed the gradient and RAM problems with Blade. Once I mentioned, someone could clear me up about the FWs exist for Skate? I was searching the ZTE site, but found only the Hungarian one from 11/17, and the UK version, but if I'm right, that's not even for Skate, but for the MC, and a bit old from 09/13. So these 2 are we have right now? About the new thread for partitioning is a great idea, maybe more people would find us with a targeted topic title. There's also a hungarian guy who's dealing with the new FW and layouts lately - but having some issues, I thought you might figuring something out together. I, on my own part can not contribute presently, cause I'm lack of the device and competence, but very excited about the innovations in this early stage of the publish (we just had our Skates last week from HU T-mobile), so thank you again.

Guest atillaahun Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Yes, but I have 33% and 44% errors.... at first time. You mean first time before the LATEST (hypothetically perfect) version, or with it for first try? Anyway, imo you don't have to restore the stock state, not even if you are in CM, (which as far as I know doesn't contain the system update option from SD), just put the image folder on your SD, turn off the phone, than turn it on with holding the minus volume button (that's the bootloader mode if I'm correct).
