[Q] How to view/expand partitions - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have no idea if this belongs here, so feel free to move this thread.
I have a Qualcomm MDP MSM8660, which, frankly, I am way too much of a noob to use. I, with the help of someone, finally managed to install gapps and am able to use the market. The problem is, the Market claims that there is no room to install apps, even though the phone says that there is 888MB free. So I presume that the market sees some other partition which is full. If this is the case, how can I make it see the other partition, or alternatively expand the partition. I don't even know how to view the partitions to see if the above theory is correct.
EDIT: I checked using Android System Information, and the Data partition is nearly a Gigabyte. So any suggestions on why the Market thinks that there is no room. When I used ADB to push the gapps to /system there also wasn't any room, so I had to clear some apps. But I believe that's a different partition.
Any ideas?
Thanks

To view the partitions on your device you should run mount through adb shell. Post the output here.

Here it is:

EDIT: Not really related, but I even though this is supposed to be rooted, and through ADB it does seem so , after remount, Superuser says it's not and in Terminal it shows "$" and when I type "su" it says uid 10006 not allowed to su". Any ideas?

Does anyone have any ideas? Also how to symlinks?
Thanks.

[Q] How to safely grow system partition

Hi,
I have very limited space on the system partition, so I can't install any apps larger than 2MB. I do have plenty of room on the data partition, so if I download the APK myself, I can install it. It appears that the Market uses the system partition as a download cache, until it installs the app. Therefore, I can install several apps summing up more than 2MB, however not a single app bigger than 2MB.
My question is, how to grow the system partition to use the space in the data partition.
Here is the output of adb mount:

There is a limit, but I never heard of one being so low. Have you checked to see if there were any junk files there (/cache/download)?
None that I see. There is 48MB of. so files, though.

Are you sure you are in the right folder? Those files should not be there.
Those files are there. Should I provide you with a list of all the files. If so, what's the easiest way?
Thanks!
I would suggest making a nandroid backup, then deleting all the files in that folder (make sure you're the right one). It should not affect your system since that folder is usually safe to delete files from, but ".so" files are driver files, so it would be safer to make the backup (just in case).
Nothing on the device would work if I did that. I tried to remove it already. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch Recovery Update-3

CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch Recovery
This is a port of CWM touch recovery modded by Team UtterChaos.
Installation is same as the 5.0.2.6 recovery.
Changelog:
3)Changed icons and layout.
2)Changed icon layout to vertical alignment as recovery text merges with icons.
1)Initial release
Credit:
All credit goes to koush and members of Team UtterChaos
Note:Im not sure if this will work for ITE devices but you can try.
good to see any new tool for our veiwpad thx hero, and it's funny to see ics icon on recovery, hehe.
My Vpad7 with ITE hardware was running 5.0.2.6 so I used Terminal to flash this, it rebooted but I can't get into the Advanced submenu and at least one other submenu - Go Back doesn't work for me either. The nice icon/graphic just sitting there in the center screen, so I've reverted back to older one as I need to use its feature to format/setup ext3 and/or ext4.
Anyone else having luck & success with this, it could be just me - tried it twice.
Would this work for viewpad 7e?

No, this is all for the Viewpad 7, not the Viewpad 7e. The 7e is basically a new product and we just need to wait until Viewsonic sells enough of these 170$ tablets to warrant someone elses interest in creating a mod for it.
Not sure how a bounty would work, but I would put in 30$. Once Clockwork Recovery works, then it should be easy for someone else to provide a stock ROM for it that lets Marketplace work better.

Im pretty sure I would need ADB Shell in order to do that, but ADB Shell cannot find the 7e as a device.

You mean ADB Shell? Nah, that never worked. Could never get the USB drivers from the SDK to work. Shows up in Unknown Devices as ViewPad 7e, unless theres some device drivers im not aware of. Searching for them brings up countless Vewsonic 7e Monitor drivers, not tablet ones.
No problem getting my android phone rooted with ICS, but this tablet is just too new I guess.

Adb shell is not necessary.The commands will also work on your terminal emulator on the phone.Skip the first instruction "adb shell"
I was unable to get the romdump to work, so I tried looking at the mounts (seen below). I am not sure if it helps, but if there is something I can do, please let me know. I'd love to get a nandroid backup of the the 7e
Thanks.

It doesn't show anything, just the headers:

is there another option instead of mtd that it could be?

[Q] i9300 - how to extract bootloader

Hey
Currentrly i would like to analyze boostloader/download mode behavior and its internals. Coud someone help me to download bootloader binary ( or img or even some executable codes no matter ) from the i9300?
Through adb i didnt see any bootloader devices attached ( and that's right coz it already executed =D ) But i tried to locate it through
-adb shell
mount
Here is list of mounted devices:

PS:
Just to clarify:
I'm researching commands that are sent by ODIN to do its job. Also implemented heimdall-based sample that send "control codes" through libusb to the device. But without any success. ( found 0x68 command that was not used in heimdall, but device responses to it ). That's why i'm looking for a way to extract device's bootloader for short arm reverse engineering :fingers-crossed:

[Q] completely lost on partition hunting

hello,
i have two sch-r930 phones. (samsung galaxy s aviators) and through countless forums's and googling i cannot for the life of me find the recovery partitions, among others. even tho i have attempted all possibilities (the ones i found atleast) to find these, i ask others for assistance.
anything needed as far as output's from any commands or binaries can be provided.
help?
Looks like this might do the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.partition
or if you prefer to know how manually, then there might be some helpful info on this thread:

already attempted those. actually any app with partition in the title ive downloaded from the playstore and tried.
i have tried to ls -l /dev/block/platform and looked for a by-name in either location to no end. i have chekced the last_log from the cache/partition. i have used onandroid, romgen, romdump, flash_image, dump_image, etc to no end.
i need someone who can help me narrow it down by some other means.
is it possible that its wrapped up in with the kernel?

[Q] Can't mount External SD Card

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (gt-i9505) on which I have Philz CWM Recovery and have install CyanogenMod 11.
I have two identical phones on which I have done exactly the same procedure (I thought!) to install the new ROM and recovery and one of them is perfectly fine whereas the other one is experiencing the following issue...
Everything has worked fine and the phone functions ok except while I was installing the ROM I found that I couldn't save anything to my external SD card. Now, since the ROM has been installed the external SD card is not accessible and attempting to mount it under the Storage menu says 'mounting ...' in the notification area but then doesn't nothing and the card is not mounted.
I assume I have done something to the permissions or symlinks when in the recovery but can't figure out what I did. I have inspected the file system of both phones via adb and the layout of folders and symlinks looks identical. The fstab.qcom and init.qcom.rc files also look identical.
When running the mount command on the phone with the SD card issue I get the following output:
