I have a 4gb nand device.

0.8gb system
0.3gb cache
1.0gb data
1.7gb storage.

I applied your trick.

Now it became:

0.8gb system
2.5gb data
1.7gb storage remains same.

I think there is something missing here.

We need also edit scatter file I think or sth else.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

THIS MODE IS NOTHING UNLESS SCATTER FILE EDITING ADD TO PROCESS.

I MANAGE THIS TRICK AND MY DEVICE SHOWS DATA SPACE INCREASED BUT IT IS FAKELY INCREASED. WHEN I TRIED TO FILL DATA PARTITION CAN NOT MANAGE IT. JUST AFTER 1GB ENDS, IT GIVE ME ERROR.

How could I re-partition my MT6582 device (having only MBR & EBR1 files)?

My device is Infinix Hot X507 (16 GB ROM, 1 GB RAM, MT6582 ARM Cortex-A7 SoC).
The stock ROM for my device has only the files EBR1 & MBR (So the device seems not to be EBR1 & EBR2 type).
I think your guide is for the EBR1 & EBR2 type (not the EBR1 & MBR one)

EBR1, MBR and Scatter files are here, pulled from ROM X507-D5120-L-20150923 Final (ROM info), currently installed Lollipop ROM on my phone.

I need to know how could I modify the EBR1 & MBR files to extend my Internal Storage. :)


I have a posted question here.
