Hi I've been reading through the forum here for about 2 years now and got a lot of helpful advice on rooting and flashing my Android devices but this is my first thread. Unfortunately I've messed up my USA Galaxy Player 5.0 and don't know what to do that I haven't already tried. Let me start at the beginning.
I rooted my player a while ago and everything was fine untill my micro-SD card wouldn't mount in other devices but sometimes it would in my player. So, I installed AParted on my Player and proceeded to format what I thought was the SD card. I found out when I rebooted my player hours later that it had wiped my Player rather than that SD card and my Player wouldn't boot but gave a bunch of errors.
I had flashed Samsung devices with odin 1.85 before and decided to try some of the rooted ROMs from this site. They all appeared to flash just fine in odin, however when the Player rebooted it stopped at the CWM recovery screen saying it could not mount the /cache. I went into mounts and storage and tried to format /cache and got this:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15.
I also tried installing CWM recovery zip files and they installed way too fast and then didn't work. It seems like my Player cannot write all of the needed files. Any suggestions? I dual boot WinXP and Ubuntu. In Ubuntu I installed Heimdall 1.4 and the frontend but am not real sure how to use it. I did get Heimdall started ok with sudo heimdall-frontend.
Marty
What rom did you flash? Also heimdall frontend 1.4 is just weird lol. I use 1.1 instead.

Well I tried a lot of ROMs that I'll list. The one I have a backup from a year ago (that's from my first Galaxy Player 5 that I hard bricked before I bought this 2nd one) uses Eryigit 3.5 USA ROM and also has CWM on it. That's what is on it now, though it only boots to CWM. These are the ROMs I tried that wouldn't boot:
Odin:
Eryigit 3.5 USA
Stock ROM with PIT UEKI8_MIN
CWM:
CM7.2.0-RC1
CM9-HWA-12.5.2012
Noisy Fox GB ROM ZKP9
Supermaster CM9
Chip 1.5-1
I honestly don't think it's a ROM problem since these have all worked for me on my previous Galaxy Player 5 USA model. I think AParted messed up the partitions when it formatted the device.
How do I fix the partitions? I thought that's what a PIT file did, but it seems to just get stuck on the PIT file in odin...how long should it take?

You need to check your partition table. flash Entrophy512's daily driver then in adb: fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
Compare output to image in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44626450&postcount=33
If it doesn't match exactly then read this entire thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398120
EDIT: FYI - When you put a pit file in Odin, all it does is flash the PIT file to the PIT partition. If your partition table is jacked and the PIT Partition is missing...???
If you check "repartition" in Odin, then Odin reads the pit from the pit partition then reformats according to what the PIT says, but if your PIT Partition is missing...???
The galaxy player 5's PIT Partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p6

Good-then there is still hope...I thought I messed up a 2nd Galaxy Player. It boots to CWM now...can I flash Entropy´s kernel there or do I need to do that in odin?

Well, I read over the threads u posted, got ADB working in Win XP, and then flashed my kernel so that it's using entropy512's kernel. All looked ok till is issued the fdisk command on the SGP and it couldn't find mmcblk0. What else would it call the root device? I issued a couple commands in the attached screenshot and it looks like I only have 376 MB rather than ~ 8 GB.

That worked but the output didn't match yours at all. Besides there being no partitions (I was trying to format my SD card with a FAT32 filesystem) the device has 4 heads (yours had 1) and the units are cyclinder of 64 (you have 16). I attached another screenshot...I do still have 7944 MB, though!
So, with these differences should I proceed with repartitioning with fdisk??

I'm not root

I realized just now that I'm not root and when I try to change into root with su it cannot find that command because it doesn't have a /bin directory (in Ubuntu it's /bin/su). It may only display partitions to the root user and wouldn't let me create any without being root. Maybe it's running out of space and cannot create that directory? Could u put a link on here of the page for Entropy512's daily kernels? You had mentioned it, but the 1 I found is from 2012 and I'm not sure if it's daily.
Marty
I wrote my new partition table!
Well, I installed Entropy512's kernel from 01222012 and that gave me root. Then from ADB shell I was able to gain all the functions of fdisk. I still did not have any partitions. However, I could not follow your guide exactly because my Galaxy Player has 4 heads...this meant that each block was 32 bytes. So I had to use trial and error to try to get the Start and End blocks close to the number of blocks in each of your partitions. In fdisk I had to display the table after every new partition with P and if it wasn't the right number of blocks I would delete it with D and then try again keeping in mind that each block increased or decreased the size of the partition by 32 bytes.
I may be explaining this wrong and went about this the wrong way. I wrote the table and attached another screenshot. Before I wrote any ROMs to it, I wanted to make sure it looked good enough for ROMs to write to it.
Marty
Unpartitioned space
There is unpartitioned space at the end of this "drive".
Meticulus has 969728-969528=200
I have 242432-242373=59
This space is almost equal if u consider each head to use 50 and there are 4 heads...200. Each block takes 32 of these (bytes?).
I hope u can follow my reasoning since I don't know the units. If this space is unused, I'm wondering if 1 of these partitions could be increased by 32 bytes? If this space isn't used by a ROM, I could re-do this pretty easily to prevent my SGP from locking up again.
It looks like Samsung put out at least 2 USA geometries of their SGP5. Perhaps somebody else could post ADB outputs of fdisk -l /dev/blk/mmcblk0?

Please read the ENTIRE thread. Changing the heads is explained and you must change the head first. There is only one U.S.A "geometry".

Oh, I missed something. I'll read the posted threads again (there are threads inside of threads here) later. It's good to know that Samsung only put out 1 version of their USA SGP5...I was gonna comb the web later for partition table screenshots and that woulda been a complete waste of time.
Can u post the EXACT posting that I should re-read?

OK, thanks for the last link...that was helpful! I hadn't read that & didn't know after 12 years of Linux use that there was an expert mode for fdisk...now I can fix my computer disk that I re-partitioned years ago and has 4 heads (that's working, though and like I've always been told, "if it aint broke, don't fix it!" I now re-did the partition table with 1 head and it ALMOST looks like your table. I attached a screenshot of your table and mine side by side so u can easily compare. What's on your table and missing from mine are 2 lines:
Omitting empty partition (18)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary
Are these important or am I ready to flash this puppy with the Low Level Russian ROM u suggested?

Technically: fdisk in Entropy512's Daily Driver is the busybox version, which does not have "expert" mode but newer version of fdisk (not in busybox) do have an "expert" mode that you can select with the option "x" at the prompt. However the busybox fdisk does have the ability to change the heads which is in the "expert" mode in newer (non-busybox) versions of fdisk. But that isn't really relevant at this point. Just an FYI.
I don't know how relevant those 2 lines are...
All I can say is give it a go...:good:
All fixed
Well, I didn't have to flash another ROM after I had redone the partitions. Once I had shut down the SGP5 after doing the partitions, I left it on for a half hour or so and then shut it down. When I restarted the SGP5 it booted just fine into the last ROM I flashed. I think it's running Eryigit 3.5 but it may be another one. I'm gonna restore a backup in CWM that I made a year ago and that should be running Eryigit 3.5.
How can I find out which ROM it is running and any idea why there were 4 heads on the device? I bought it as a refurbished SGP5 so somebody else may have done it months ago or maybe the AParted app I was using to format an SD card did that.
Thanks for your help

To find out what ROM your running, the best evidence is going to be in the "About Phone" area, or the build.prop. I think ( not really sure ) that there was a time that the "heads" property did represent the physical number of heads that the storage device had but with more modern forms of storage, it's just a number that part of an algorithm for organizing the space into units. I might be wrong there. It's just the impression that I get. Most likely it was a result of the way AParted partitions disks....
On a personal note, if you look @ the build.prop for Eryigit's rom, you'll probably see my name. "Meticulus". It's sort of an easter egg...:laugh:
Actually the backup I had wasn't working with google play so I wound up flashing with the LLF Russian ROM & then flashing a rooted stock gingerbread ROM and wiping data and caches. Then it was new and I had to login to google play. Now everything works.

Just wondering if anyone can do a complete backup of their device and upload it somewhere like Dropbox. My Internal SD has been formatted incorrectly and I can't get it back correctly. My touchscreen is dead and I only know people with Bell Atrix devices.
If anyone could do this huge favor it'd be greatly appreciated!! Need a complete backup and then I'd use Tenfar's modified recovery to try booting it. Thanks in advance.
Use the 'Flash SBF' guide in the Dev forum. That will get you back to stock.

Thank you but that's not working. Hoping to get someone actual backed up recovery to see if that corrects the partitioning in the internal storage. Tried a million ways to flash and partition things.
Going to try doing some more work in an actual Linux environment after work today. I'll try seeing if I can manually format and partition it (getting random daemon errors because my PC is a bit retarded).

Worst case scenario, just format any SD cards in the phone and follow the guide that link12245 posted... that should work. If you're having issues using RSDlite in windows, try using it on the linux system... you'll find it to be a lot more compliant.

Yeah, I've tried that many times already. I'm thinking that doing this in a Linux environment will be more forgiving. Tenfar has graciously been helping me and I'm disappointed that I'm unable to follow his steps.
If I understand correctly I need to do this command in ADB: mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmc0p18, as well as newfs_msdos -F 32 -S 512 -L MB860 -c 64 -u 16 /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 which should get it running smoothly.
At least I'm becoming a lot more comfortable with Linux commands. Actually thinking of dual booting Ubunto on our home computer once the wife isn't so pissed. Stayed up until 6am for two nights trying to fix this. If it weren't my birthday on Saturday she'd castrate me
Thanks for the help, guys.
Hey guys, there's a ton of confusion going on because of partition tables and what not. The Galaxy Player 4.0 uses a BML partition table. The Galaxy Player 5.0 uses a MMC block partition table. I ran into problems with 8g versus 16g partition tables because the 8gig won't work on the 16gig and vice versa. We need a master list of PIT files. This is that master list.
International is the standard version. Because of copyright problems, US versions may be different.
PARTITION TABLES
Galaxy player 4.0 16gig thanks some korean site.
Galaxy Player 4.0 US 8gig thanks hyperrunner
Galaxy Player 4.0 International 8gig thanks zaclimon
Galaxy Player 5.0 16gig thanks ishish9
Galaxy Player 5.0 US 8gig thanks redpirate8
Galaxy Player 5.0 International 8gig thanks aillez
Please post your partition table and I will link it in the above. If you have one which is not in the list, let me know.
How to obtain your partition table
Download Heimdall Suite here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Open "heimdall-frontend"
if you encounter errors in windows, you need to install the zadig libusb driver. Remember to "show all" from the menu in the program.
Put your device in Download mode
Click the Utilities tab
select an output filename. The file should always end with a "pit" I'd recommend something descriptive. eg..
GalaxyPlayer4.0-16G.pit, or G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
upload that file to http://mediafire.com
I recommend Mediafire because they have no distracting adds, no 50 second wait time, no signup, and everything is straight forward as opposed to 99% of the other file hosting sites.
post the mediafire link here in the forum
Ok, first, I don't think there are 16gb versions, other than maybe one for korea?
Second, The main issue here is the international version vs. the U.S. version, I believe there is quite a bit of difference in the firmwares of these versions, so you should probably have sections for "U.S. 4.0, U.S 5.0, International 4.0, International 5.0"
You might get more positive results that way
I am needing the 4.0 U.S Pit, btw, so thank you for creating this thread!
Edit: also, didn't you say in your other thread that heindmall doesn't work with these?
Here you go,
DOWNLOAD
P.S. - I couldnt get it the way you asked me so i ran terminal and used this code.
dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/part.pit
Also this is the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 U.S. 8GB Version
Thanks, but it still doesn't work!? Stuck at "set partition" forever!

You need to get the Heimdall partition. I observed the same behavior before. and I was thinking it was a fluke.. It looks like on this device the heimdall dump will set the partitions, a bml dump wont.
I'll remove that and we're back at square one.
We could really use some participation here. You'll be thankful if you brick your device. Currently there are no recovery options... This is part of creating the first one ever.
Yeah i have been trying that but Heindall says that libusb error 13 for some reason i would get it but i cant since the error. Do you got a solution for it. I would do it but i cant get pass that error? I've tried installing libusb.

Nevermind it doesn't work. DO NOT FLASH THIS PIT FILE. Now I get a bunch of E: failed to mount errors.
Now I'm bricked too. Need a valid PIT file to flash back to stock.
WAIT, ive seen some videos in which you flash it. Most of them the md5 or tar file contains more stuff other than factoryfs.rfs and zImage.
Or is that ok since its not a phone if it is not or there is a problem just tell me and give me the commands to retrieve these needed files and i will make a new Firmware.

Im trying to learn while doing this it is not simple. Other morons would not even get passed the commands on terminal. If you dont want my help well then you wont get it.

This is a USA 4.0 correct?
I am at a loss, i am at a point where my phone is no longer bound by the laws of logic.
I was running Passion 13.1 ICS
two days ago for some reason i woke up and my phone was asking for a password to decrypt the phone, i though this was weird being that i didnt encrypt the phone.
so i setup ODIN and flashed back to Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick pre rooted w/re-partition checked.
it passes and reboots after reboot i get
Code:
"E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblkop1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
but it will reboot into android
so i booted into android setup adb and copied over the fs tools (Parted, e2fsck, mke2fs, resize2fs tune2fs, and sdparted)
i found that in /dev/block/ the partition files were missing completely so i created them using
Code:
mknod /dev/block/mmcblk0 b 179 0
mknod /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 b 179 1
mknod /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 b 179 2
i can see them there but when i try to partition them using
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2
it returns
Code:
Error: Error opening /dev/block/mmcblk0: No such device or address
so i tried a shot in the dark i tried to write zero's to it
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
it returns
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0: cannot open for write: No such device or address
so i rebooted my phone, when it came back up i opened an adb shell and to my surprise the fs tools and the files i created in /dev/block were gone it was like it factory reset it self on reboot.
were i am at now is hardware failure unless the collective minds here can see something that i missed?
i really really REALLY want to save her she has been an awesome phone.
any help would be appreciated
Dude that sucks. You are I think the 3rd or 4th person to have this happen to. I do also believe that most of whom this happened to (at least in our forum) were running Passion (different variants though). In the Cappy threads, it was CM9 or Doc's. Seems it is totally random when it happens, but I am seriously considering going back to something else unless I get another phone.
Might want to check here for a workable solution.
Sorry for your loss.
Instead of the froyo build, you should try 2.1 jfd odin package

I'm sure it will slow down but it should boot up and you can load another ROM on there. You do lose your entire internal since it is essentially swapped out for the external. Can't hurt to try with a higher class card maybe.
It seems this is happening to everyone running ICS Passion.
Ya but on the Cappy threads it is happening to people on CM9 and Doc's too.
So I am wondering if anyone on AOKP builds are getting these. I posted in the other two threads about this (the one that you were helping that guy yesterday with and the other one) to see what ROMs/kernels they were running, JIC.
Might be a problem with the port of the AOSP code since it is essentially from NS and GNex, both Sammy products though. Anyone in your NS fora reporting this problem?
Nope, nobody. And I just flashed from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 2 days ago
I flashed GBBOOT-T959UVJFD in an effort to fix my problem, but its just stuck in a boot loop now. is there a chance that the actual physical memory is damaged?
Chances are your internal is completely locked up and without the encryption "key" you won't be able to use it. Since you know ADB, you still might be able to pull some stuff off it and mount to your PC.
Looks to be that you may need to repartition your external in the thread I posted above.
What Bootloader were you on before this all started?
The file I sent you had GB bootloaders included. So to get into recovery Vol- and Power. To get into download Vol+ and Power.

at this point i don't even care about recovering the internal partition i would like to just format it and start over clean.
It had a GB boot loader on it.
This is what is confusing me, in my mind if a partition is locked and i forget the key or in this case it encrypts itself shouldn't i be able to just fdisk or dd the partition back to cleanliness and format it?
When I installed some of the ICS roms (Cant remember which ones, Too many out now) I remember at the very beginning of the post flash setup screens that I needed to Agree to Googles update rules.
I have read that The galaxy nexus and the Nexus S is getting 4.0.? upgrades re-pushed to their phones as the First update in December had a major battery drain bug in it and was stopped.
I have also read that some members reported that They got a "Welcome to your new Nexus....." e-mails.
Could this be caused by an update being pushed to the phone and sense it is a vibrant and not a nexus it is causing these problems??

I thought the Nexus had ICS already, so i don't think that was what happened. plus i would think it would prompt the user to apply the update or restart the device.
at this point after reading this thread, i think its hardware failure in my case. otherwise why would it clear everything after a reboot?

So I am stuck in a bootloop and no obvious way out.
US Galaxy Player 4.0
Rooted and been on custom roms for a year now. Problem started after upgraded to latest CM. Tried going back to stock but no luck in resolution. I am able to get into recovery and download mode and flash with odin. I can run adb shell. Just won't boot. The error message I get is as follows:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
In my adb shell I can see that there is no "mmcblk0..." files at all.
I have tried to go through the full stock recovery and used the PIT files and the stock rom through odin. I get the same boot loop and cant get the data to wipe due to the same error. I can flash anything through Odin easily without fail but everything is stuck in boot loop. I just don't seem to have /data to wipe.
There are some other posts around which indicate the Partition may be screwed but I am not sure what it is supposed to look like or the command line syntax to use to correct.

Thank you Meticulus. I see that you were involved in the thread I referenced too and this is where I figured I needed to go. However this is where I get tripped up. The main issue being that I don't have an image from a 4.0 US player. The thread I linked to had the Intl Player shown... There were even a few requests for the US version later on in the thread.
So- Anyone want to share their US player working partition table?
Is this information contained in the .PIT files somehow?
anyway to retrieve this?

We only have mmc blocks for the actual storage of the device. The system partition and others are pure raw nand (which is why we use mtd and yaffs2)

Most probably because it will only touch /data and internal storage. Actually this is the first time I see a problem like this for the 4.0.

So any confidence in the international vs the US version being the same?
Now the next thing is I used the command fdisk to start trying to recreate the partitions using the post instructions you recommended. I did not get an option for "new". I attached the output from the shell command. Tried looking up shell command references on fdisk but is not helping me here. Is it because there is not mmcblk0 at all? I don't seem to be getting into the command mode of the fdisk command.
If I use fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 I get "no such file or directory"

I am already on fresh Odin flash. Several attempts actually. I have been able to flash back to Stock (and use PIT) files, access stock recovery. I did this first to think I could restore to OEM. Then flash the Terra-Silent kernel to obtain CWM and the IcyFusion Rom (did this again this morning so I could get adb to link). These are the only Odin flashable that I am aware of for the 4.0. Obviously nothing boots because the issues discussed here.

Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

No, It wouldn't be backed up in android...
I'm betting that the U.S. Odin ROM on that page is not a "full" recovery rom either... I'm downloading right now to check. If it isn't, we need to find out how safe it is to flash an INT version first then flash a USA over it.
On the 5.0, we can do that... and everything is OK but don't know about 4.0...
EDIT: Seem like the only difference is that INT has bootloaders and USA does not. That doesn't help us...

Hi Sam,
That looks like a proper 32gb pit, unlike some others I have been sent!
So, I can have a play with this one.
But, how big are you looking for your data partition to be? i.e. the area that apps are installed? I reckon somewhere between 8-12gb, but you know better than me how many apps you want installed
Let me know what you are looking for and I will make a test file for you.
Of course, like anyone submitting pit files to me, you take the risk in testing, I don't have one of these devices myself so I cannot verify at my risk, unlike how I did for the 16gb variant back in the day
Look forward to hearing back from you, make sure you either reply quoting this message or mention me in the post (@metalgearhathaway) otherwise I won't get a notification that you have replied.
Take care,
Chris

Hey Chris,
so a bit of progress -possibly- on this, i have been looking around since and it seems like that whole command thing i mentioned in my PM seems to affect the PIT
so per suggestion i used a tool called EFS Professional found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ol-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546
Which outputs the PIT file after EFS partition backup ( which should be useful later). I attached the original file, Also i think i got the concept of how to edit it so i used PIT Magic and edited that file with a 1GB for the system partition and 8GB for the Apps and the usual pre-load size ( doesn't bother me). I'm attaching this as well so, please take a look at it and tell me if my alteration is correct.
There's also the signature issue which as i understand is the last bit of the file, i did checked with a HEX editor and it sure wasn't the same after the edit so i went ahead and added again that last lost bit so it matches the original stock PIT file ( it went from 2KB to 3KB ). So, let me know if that's an issue or if the SII isn't affected by this as it was suggested elsewhere ( i also assume by your PIT files sizes).
Other than that i think 8GB is a good place to start, i wont fill it up for a bit or would i!? we'll see.
And yes, i understand the risk and was wondering if there's anything else i should do to minimize it other than making backup for the EFS partition, backup the internal SD and have a fresh CWM backup on the external SD? btw i should i do something about the apps that's already moved to the SD? i'm already running out of space so i wont be able to move them back to the phone..if that's a problem then should i backup one by one through Titanium Backup and uninstall then restore when i restore the ROM after the New PIT or all that would take care of itself as long as i restore the internal SD as it was before i restore the ROM?
EDIT: i know you go over this in step 10, i'm just not sure how if it's gonna prompt to format SD anyway.
Sorry, too much questions but i don't wanna be left high and dry in the middle of this
Thanks,
Sam.

Hi Sam,
All looks good to me!
As for precautions, all I can say is have your stock pit file ready if it does not work out! Nandroids do not contain pit information! But I reckon you have guessed that already
I find that flashing the pit file together with a sammy stock rom works best, then root and install your prefered os build!
Let me know how you get on! All the best, Chris

the only odd thing is that the battery is acting funny now and i already calibrated the chip again, that was the one odd thing but i cant see how this would have affected it.
now it seems like 8GB might have been bit much for my usage but i'll just leave it now plus i know the how-to now anyway are you going to update the files with the 32 version or you dont think it's worth it being just me who asked? anyway, u have a legit stock PIT now, so your call

Hi
I'm new on the forum.
Yesterday I tried to expand the partition of my GT-I9100 phone but with the wrong files :
I used those downloadable on this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-pit-files-creating-larger-partition-t2552738 instead of those of this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947.
I thought nothing had happened at first place so in order to exit the download mode I removed the battery.
Since then my phone doesn't boot anymore : no light, no sound, only the dark screen.
Is there something I can do to get back my phone ?
Thanks a lot !

You used a PIT file which maintains the original 512MB system partition size. This is not enough to install Full or even medium apps.
Flash a PIT file with 768MB or 1 GB (i recommend 768MB) system and this will be enough for almost any ROM with Full Gapps.
SGS2 Repartition in fewest steps using Heimdall (not Odin)
Hello all,
My GT-i9100/GalaxyS2 runs CyanogenMod 11M12 & ClockworkRecovery 6.0.x.x;
All works fine except for the limited size of the default 2GB partition (insufficient space to update Apps); plenty of space on the rest of the internal storage.
What is the best way to repartition this? Can I *just* apply a new PIT file using Heimdall?
Heimdall-frontend asks for files for lots of partitions -- what's the minimum I need to supply (for which partitions: GANG, DATAFS, ...) & where do they come from?
Or indeed if I have to supply them all, where to they come from?
- there are loads of how-to guides on XDA and elsewhere, I've spend many hours looking at them, but they don't seem (to my eyes at least) to address the Q's above.
- I realise it'll wipe & reset the phone: not a problem to re-cyanogenmod & set it all up again once repartitioning done 'safely'.
- I don't have access to a Windows/Odin box, so I set it up ages ago using Heimdall following set up following wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100, but that doesn't mention changing partition sizes
- obviously I already have a selection of PITs to try, plus downloads of GAPPs, CyanogenMod, ClockworkRecovery etc -- I just need some guidance and background on how to apply them without bricking the device.
Many thanks in advance.
Hi guys, complete noob here. I have been lurking this forum since I got flashed my S2 last year and have been updating from CM 10 to now CM12.
Today I have used CWM to upgrade my S2 to CM12 5.0.2 Beta and installed Pico gapps. Turns out I need the Nano gapps for Exchange support but without sufficient space it's not going to work.
Can someone help me with the appropriate PIT and Kernel files? I don't have an original JB image and I don't have a RIL file (Belgium). The FP is very detailed but I have no idea what the exact files are to use.
Any help appreciated.
Hope for korean SGS2
is there a way for me to increase my korean version of SGS2 storage, i really love this, thanks

New Pit file with 2 GB system for Stock GAPPS

- 2 GB system
- 6 GB Data
