So I'm trying to get Uruk to install on my 250g A70, and following the instructions posted, when i get to the point where you have to go into the recovery menu for the second time and select "Developer Edition" the UD splash comes up, but it hangs saying "Failed to mount rootfs /dev/sda2/" and then reboots. I havent been able to find any info about this error, and for the most part all I have found is info about the sd card version of the device. Is there a fix for this or am i just hosed?
Thanks guys
Hi, I get successful Uruk 1.6 on my A70 250gb, sometime get error same. I think u try again format your device with stock rom then install SDE and install Uruk 1.6 ( lastest firmware in now )
That is the order I did it in, actually, but I suppose it's worth another try...
Come on guys.
$auron is constantly asking for A70H guys to help him discover the best way for the tablet and no one will help.
How do you think will he be able to determine what to do, if YOU don't help him??

I've got no problem giving him a hand, how do I get in touch with him?
You are joking, right?
In the devthread $auron asked just 2 days ago for help of A70H owners.
Just read the end of that thread.
I am also having this problem. Steps I did probably all possible solutions:
1. Reset Android - stil the same
2. Uninstal and reinstal SDE - stil the same
3. Format device - stil the same
4. Uninstall SDE , Format device , upload stock firmware , install SDE , try to install Uruk - stil the same
I had urukdroid before and it was very good for usage. Hope someone knows and is going to share the solution of this problem.
Device: Archos 70 IT 8GB
I have an archos 70 250g hdd and have never had problem installin upgrading or downgrading my device, and hope i can help others. In regaurds to the incorrect power % it happens, look at the actual voltage left on battery max 100% batt is 4.198v i believe but most battery % come from empirical calculators that guesstimate based on useage, if hdd spins this % will drop faster than voltage does in anticipation, stop the program thats usin hdd and it will even out, might need a restart or a deletion of batterystats.bin. And SWAP/compcache works very well on hdd model but like it says it will only use the swaped memory when the ram reaches a certain limit then it will start to swap, i cheat this by starting up with alot of programs then clearing them with memory booster. It pushes background system apps to swaped mem and allows me to use only 35% of my limited 256ram leavin me with 65% open for whatever.. i have been able to run (somewhat choppy) vendetta online from my device doing this that requires 512 ram but will slowly load.. hope i was helpful

Make sure you've downloaded the proper files. You should download this: UrukDroid_1.6-Install.rar everything you need is there.
Thanks everyone, i bought a 16bg nook tablet (for the 1gb ram) and booted from the SD successfully. but now have a couple more questions....
1) partitioning, i get, its easy in gparted or the windows manager, but for the life of me i do not see a quick guide on how to partition *correctly*. i see 5 partitions on the sd card, and the guide says to expand 4... but it wont let me. i have not tried gparted yet, but i assume if i cant expanded it now (in windows) that i am doing something wrong and will just bork it up in gparted. so.... any links to working partition guides ?
fyi, the partition tool in cm7 in the "cm7 settings" only gave me the option of "512 megs"... so not sure.. but i think the installer made the wrong partition sizes ? dunno... im new and assuming alot based on alot of windows crap and limited linux interactions...
2) installing TOO the device itself: in the one guide above it does not mention rooting, so i assume when you boot to cm7 off a sd, and then go to "install image" that it will root, lay down the new image and all is well... am i correct in that assumption?
3) recovery, i know i will kill the install eventually. im the kind of guy to tinkers and has to re-install windows and backtrack on a regular basis. what i have not seen is how to restore to factory. is it something like my htc glacier? like this link implies ? http://nooktalk.net/nook-faq/nookco...-how-do-i-do-a-hard-reset-system-restore.html
4) if i unplug the usb cable.... i no longer boot into cm7 on the stick... is there a way to not have this happen aside from writing over the image ?
thank you all for your patience!

Hello,
I want to edit an ext4 file with Windows XP and and I haven't found a solution despite extensive research.
Thank you in advance !
https://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-windows/
Thanks but I don't want to access to an ext4 partition but I want to edit a file, like this :
http://image.gilawhost.com/14/04/24/vgg34udp.png
Then I've no clue, sorry. As far as I knew it was only partitions that are ext4, not extensions.. Must be something unique to Archos stuff perhaps.
According to this answer (specifically the part "Since Archos uses a very different (and encrypted) filesystem partitions scheme"), I would say you're not able to open that file (at least not without cracking the encrypthion Archos uses. Which would be another subject.

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
can i increase /system to 1Gb by reducing internal SD?some rom like miui or color os need /preload.is it possible?thankyou
Help me pls with galaxy s2
HI!
I have been using galaxy s2 from 2 years and 4 months now.
Recently (1 month ago) used root genius to root my phone.
I want to use that tut to increase apps space (4-5gb) and get kit kat update.
how to use?
tell me as if I were a 10 yr old. because I don't understand a thing, pls give me a step by step guide.

Hey Chris!
sorry, bit distracted these days but wanted to give u a quick update. i actually couldn't wait for your reply and went ahead and did it!! all worked perfectly
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
thanks again
Sam.
partition worked, not enough storage?
Hi!
I've applied the Pre-load 45mb / 8GB pit to my S2 (i9100) (and CM kernel stock 06.02.14) and flashed CM11 M11 ...
For some reason, when i want to install the latest Gapps stock package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 through CWM it gives me the error that there isn't enough space ...
to be precice:
Insufficient storage space available in System partition. blah blah
You need 350236 KB system free space.
You only have 164636 KB available.
I wonder why this is happening ... i should have enough space now, shouldn't i?
Here is the log of the PAgapps installation attempt:

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
Hi all,
after losing almost a day because of a faulty pit file I created my own.
Goal: upgrade S2 to Android 5 with Google Stock package ( biggest one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 ) and have more data space
Find attached a new .pit file with :
- 2 GB system
- 6 GB Data
- 3GB internal SD
- hidden partition 45 MB
If I did some miss calculation , feel free to report. It was the first .pit with which Android 5 + stock gapps could be flashed and which booted so I thought I'd share.
