bigstorage hardreset fix?

[arty]

the faq says if you use a BS rom you have to install first an OS rom. after that you can install the cooked rom.

but what if there is a new version of your cooked rom? can you now flash it over your current rom or do you still have to flash an OS rom first again?

Every time you go from a bigstorage rom to another bigstorage flash a shipped rom.

It should be fine going to a non bigstorage, but better safe than sorry!

Agreed, tbh you should be OK aslong as you dont flash the crap outta your device all the time. Should you encounter a HArd Reset or freeze then follow veyka's advise and flash an official ROM to in essence correctly "format" your device before using the bigstorage ROM.

understood, thx.

if i get it right the big storage overwrights the extrom partition

the official rom formats it again with extrom

so you can using it again with BS rom ? right so far ?


so if we build the BS with EXTROM then the flashing process will be SPLASH ,SPLASH2 , EXTROM , OS

so the extrom will be formated first and then overwriten with BS OS ?

That sounds right, can you do that?

That should work. its just doing the same thing as we do manually! Would it make flashing a lot longer?

To sum things up I guess the problem is that the formating is only done partially but the entire partition is expected to be ready after installation - If that's the case we just need to format the whole BigStorage partition including what would be reserved for ExtStorage, right?

I don't know how or what formats the OS partition during initial install but that is what needs tweaking! I am going to look into cooking that and post back here unless a Chef already post the How-To answer...
