[REF] GT-I9300 PIT and Flash Analysis

[kalagas]

Which *.pit-file is correct for the 32GB model?

GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
M0_20120220.pit
M0_20120220.pit

Thanks for your help

I'm currently trying to get started creating my own custom rom. Setting up dsixda's kitchen went fine (cygwin-method), but the SGS3 is not supported by the kitchen by default..
Referring to "how to add new devices"-section in the thread (Thread), I started to make a file for SGS3 with the correct mount points.

So far, I've come up with the following:

# Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300

change_mnt=yes

param1=ext4
param2=EMMC

param1_sdcard=vfat
param2_sdcard=MTD

sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p9
cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p8
boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p5
data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p12
sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p??

modem_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p7

I've used the layout from the Galaxy SII (I9100), and then changed the mount points to those above. As you can see it's not complete and possibly incorrect.
I was wondering if anyone could help me figuring out with which mount point is used for the sdcard, and also if I should add a line for the recovery partition?

My mmcblk0p1 is corrupt (error log says somthIng about mIssIng dIrectory). I can't format sdcard because cwm can't mount it. How can I fix this ? Thanks

i'm not sure which devices are supported already by that kitchen, but if there is Galaxy Nexus support, then you can get sdcard options from this device.

sdcard on SGS3 is a virtual FS mounted through FUSE. Actual location is on /data partition. /data/media if to be precise.
To mount sdcard, u need to use mounter binary /system/bin/sdcard

The international Galaxy Nexus (maguro) is supported by the kitchen, and the file for that device has the following:

# Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM/HSPA+)

change_mnt=yes

param1=ext4
param2=HSMMC

sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/system
cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/cache
boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/platform\/omap\/omap_hsmmc.0\/by-name\/boot
data_mnt=???
sdcard_mnt=???

fix_boot3=yes

As I already have sys, cache, boot and data, I guess I can safely ignore the differences from these.
Do you know if our SGS3 is also using HSMMC, and not EMMC?

sdcard on SGS3 is a virtual FS mounted through FUSE. Actual location is on /data partition. /data/media if to be precise.
To mount sdcard, u need to use mounter binary /system/bin/sdcard

So mounting sdcard is done in the ROM, and should not be mentioned in the kitchen file, right? Do you happen to know anything about the line saying fix_boot3=yes, what it refers to and if it is necessary for S3 compability?

Please PM me if this is not the right thread for this

I never used this kitchen. Actually, i don't know why someone still uses kitchens for android. It's not so complicated as it was in Windows Mobile.
All you need is just deodex the ROM and put whole system files into ZIP along with installation script. You can take script from any other custom ROM close to yours, if you are not familiar with updater scripts.

As for partitions: everything is mounted in boot.img, so you don't need to worry about it at all. I have no idea why this kitchen requires it.

Partition Table for I9300 vs SGS&SGSII

mmcblk0p1 BOTA0 = sboot.bin = boot.bin
mmcblk0p2 BOTA1 = sboot. bin = Sbl.bin
mmcblk0p3 EFS = efs.img = efs.img
mmcblk0p4 PARAM = param.bin = param.lfs
mmcblk0p5 BOOT = boot.img = zImage
mmcblk0p6 RECOVERY = recovery.img = no
mmcblk0p7 RADIO (MODEM) = modem.bin = modem.bin
mmcblk0p8 CACHE = cache.lmg = cache.img
mmcblk0p9 SYSTEM = system.img = factoryfs.img
mmcblk0p10 HIDDEN = hidden.img = hidden.img
mmcblk0p11 OTA = data = data.img
mmcblk0p12 USERDATA = userdata.img = UMS.img

Any expert please confirm this?

can anyone, pleeeeaaasssseeeee, tell me wich block is the internal SDcard? mmcblk0pxx??????? and wich is it's mounting point. for using in a updater-script for CWR. i just tried everithing...but obviously i'm missing something...i can't nail it...
thanks

pdmy head is burnned of all i've read today about thisssss lol

Some parts are wrong but why would you want to represent in this way?

Yeap...but what about INTERNAL sdcard??? Thats the one is giveing me a headache...

The "internal SD card" on the S3 is actually only a subfolder of /data, the /data/media Odia mentioned above to be precise.

It's kinda loop-mounted to /mnt/sdcard (or the /sdcard symlink) via fuse.

Sorry my bad, I wrote the wrong mount point only, rest is correct, should look like this, sorry for the confusion.

mmcblk1p1
/mnt/sdcard or
/data/media

Because it is useful to correlate what we know from before, to understand the new partition layout/format. But I agree, this is useless, unless you specify what is an SGS/SGS2. Because if it's the US versions, they're probably based on Qualcomm processors, and those devices almost always have quasi random partition schemes, because of their complicated bootloading procedure...

This is for the US SGS3 (SCH-I535) !!

Edit: Removed picture to avoid confusing people...

If you're looking for that partition table, I just posted it here.

Thx for the answer...i m faceing a problem...maybe you can help me
I'm trying to make a flashable zip where it inserts data in external memory.

So far i couldnt do it. Don't know what i'm doing wrong.
In updater script i'm mounting external sdcard...but aparently i m not doing it wright because data is not inserted when it finish.
I'm using this for mounting:
Run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "t", "auto", "mmcblk1p1", "/mnt/sdcard");

And then for extracting this:
Package_extract_dir("sdcard", "/mnt/sdcard");


What am i doing wrong??

Excuse the OT...

Run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "t", "auto", "mmcblk1p1", "/mnt/sdcard");

maybe because you have /dev/block/ missing from the partition name, but I really have no idea, the OS is too high level for me, I like the low level hardware sh1ts

Thxxx
EDIT:nop still no luck....i can t nail it....thx odia for your help anyway ..
Maybe someone else can help me??

EDIT2: FINNALLLYYY i could do itt. Using /data/media it works....using /mnt/sdcard it doesn't

THANKS AGAIN YOU GUYSSS

Thx in advance!!

I have my custom rom and want input inside script to wipe /data and /system. So i need to know for sure correct blocks to format system and data.

So use the info in the 1st post.
