I've seen it done, but for some reason the OS will repartition it back to what it was before you edited it.


Best route would be to dump your current PIT file (partition table and other info is included in there) and modify it to fit your needs if possible. There are probably other threads on this if you search up "modifying PIT file"

Sorry I realized the bios of a comp doesn't recognize the android phone as a peripheral or a mountable boot device which ruins my plans as of now I'm going to try to find a way to at least get the bios to pickup the SDcard if I can I'm doubtful though

    That file can be used to repartition the phone. If you modify it correctly you should be able to resize other partitions and use that extra space to create your own XXX mb partition.

    You need to use heimdall but there are existing ones out there depending on what size your internal storage is


    16 gb or 32?

    What's your current bootloader version? If not known, run

    Code:
    getprop ro.bootloader

    In a shell on your device/terminal emulator app


    And then post the last three alphanumeric characters
