I think after running wrong exit_recovery.zip, I managed to trash partition table/GPT - or some other combination of stupidity - hoping someone can help..

Hypothesis
By doing exit recovery opt 1a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 I was able to bring up the virtuousprime ROM boot, but virtuous failed (reboot) after trying to format /data.
I dd'd the first 8096 bytes of mmcblk0 and they are all zeros?
From CWM, I am able to mount partitions mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p3, mmcblk0p5.
So from all that, I am thinking I need to flash MBR, replace GPT on LBA 1? If this is correct, does anyone have a stock GPT for the tf201?
I can then format /data (mmcblk0p8) and I think my ROMs will then work.
kind regs,
Based on the information here: https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_table_header_.28LBA_1.29, replacing LBA 1 will only fix the GPT header. Since you said that the first 8096 bytes were all zeros, it would seem that those would fall into LBA 2, 3, etc., corrupting the partition table.
But since you said that CWM can mount your partitions, you might be able to use GPT fdisk's recovery features to fix the problem. I don't know if anyone has compiled it for Android though Please note that the regular fdisk cannot handle GPT, only MBR.
When you said "flash MBR", what exactly do you mean? GPT and MBR are two different partition structures and if you replace either one with the other, the partition table will be lost and you won't be able to mount any partition.
Was thinking about building LBA0 and LBA 1 separately, was going from that Wikipedia article, "...Legacy MBR information is contained in LBA 0, the GPT header is in LBA 1.." and I thought - perhaps naively - that an fdisk command with /mbr option would sort out LBA0, then I worry about GPT in LBA1, but maybe I am confusing fdisk /mbr option with another command (old DOS)?
I have all the partition offsets and disk size from backup (/sys/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0/..) and know what the partition table should look like; there was no "Partition 9", I made this up because there was 1024 unaccounted bytes after mmcblk0p8 (/data) ends:
Disk size: 1241744336 bytes
Partition 1 (/system): start 74752; End 1123328; Size 1048576
Partition 2 (/cache): start 1123328; End 1999872; Size 876544
Partition 3 (/misc): start 1999872; End 2003968; Size 4096
Partition 4 (/staging): start 2003968; End 3096576; Size 1092608
Partition 5 (/btmac): start 3096576; End 3106816; Size 10240
Partition 6 (/?): start 3106816; End 3107840; Size 1024
Partition 7 (/?): start 3107840; End 3118080; Size 10240
Partition 8 (/data): start 3118080; End 124173312; Size 121055232
Partition 9: start 124173312; End 124174336; Size 1024
Given that /system mounts, I think if I had a stock dump from a tf201 of bytes 0-74752 might also be an alternative - I could verify the GPT table against above before I put it in.
Another option I can think of, comes from reference I see to a "backup GPT" held in last sector of GPT disks? If you look at partition offsets above, there is 1024 bytes at the end where I may get this information - but I think injecting in a dump of those first 74k bytes into mmcblk0 - as above - would be safer.

I wouldn't suggest doing that. That would create a hybrid MBR. When a hybrid MBR disk is read using MBR, only the first four partitions can be visible (after redefining the partition table in LBA0). If the disk is read using GPT, all the partitions will be visible. I don't know if Android and Linux prefer MBR over GPT, but if they do, you might lose access to partitions 5-8.
By the way, the '/mbr' option is for the diskpart tool from MSDOS and Windows

You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about this. Do you happen to know if those mmcblk0p# partitions are visible when the tablet is plugged into a Linux computer? If so, GPT fdisk can restore the partition table and GPT header from the backup GPT.
You would run something like this to restore the backup GPT:
http://paste.kde.org/488054/
EDIT: I found a version of gdisk compiled for Android by meghd00t (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24805392&postcount=74). You may be able to restore the backup GPT directly from the tablet

Thanks Chen, i plan to try the gptfdisk tonight when I get home from work and can post the result.
One thing i'm not sure about is access mmcblk0 from linux - does this mean I can access the internal mmcblk0 of the tf201 directly through a linux device? Right now I access mmcblk0 solely through adb shell to CWM recovery.

No problem There's also an option to backup the GPT header and partition table to file. I'd suggest doing that just in case anything goes wrong.
I'm not entirely sure if the internal memory can be accessed directly from Linux. But from what I've been reading in the forums today, it seems that it might not possible (I'm pretty new to Android).
Hopefully gptfdisk will work via adb shell
Whew, we're off life support! and more importantly - my wife wont kill me for an Unauthorised Brick to The Birthday Device

ADB/CWM - Exit recovery and attempt Virtuousprime ROM install
I then did exit recovery as per 1a http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088
Upon reboot Virtuousprime wouldn't go as far as it got before. I went back into adb shell and did wipe data:
Wipe data/factory reset
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data !
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache
Formatting /sd-ext
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete
Note the error on /data. Could not format /data either using the CWM mounts and storage menu. I named the partitions I knew about and formatted /data (mmcblk0p8) from adb shell:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 38.3MB 575MB 537MB ext4 system
2 575MB 1024MB 449MB ext4 cache
3 1024MB 1026MB 2097kB misc
4 1026MB 1585MB 559MB ext3 staging
5 1585MB 1591MB 5243kB fat32 btmac
...
8 1596MB 63.6GB 62.0GB ext4 data
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
I then found that CWM data/factory reset went through without errors:
Wipe data/factory reset
Formatting /data
Formatting /cache
..
Data wipe complete
And subsequently exit recovery and virtuous prime rom have installed OK, tested across reboot and shutdown
Cheers!

Haha, I'm glad I was able to help
My micro sd card seems to not be working at all.
Have been googling this problem for about a good 2 weeks now.
Reason this happened: was installing a ROM on phone, and I have no idea what happened.
Weird enough though, I was listening to music randomly one night no problem. Morning after I had some blank/unsupported fiel system error on sd card.
Tried many things:
fdisk (gave bad file descriptor error)
DD (read-only file system)
Disk management in windows (shows up, but no options availble. Won't even let me format.)
Device Manager in Windows says I need to troubleshoot USB MASS Storage (Using Microsd card adapter), troubleshoot to no avail.
Diskpart in windows
ChkDsk in Windows as well

As I posted previously about flashing issues and errors which came up with my device I've learned that my partitions were corrupted and nearly all were erased. With some help from developer Mev and other members I was able to get my device working with ADB shell yet the commands seemed to be far out of my lead.
I have an YP-G70 USA (8 Gigs) device.
From what I learned this is the partition to the device, yet the start/ending blocks aren't listed. Would that be a problem?

Just looking for help to get my player back up and running .. it's all I have and use at work since I don't have a phone and really have been trying to get this to work but its difficult so im sorry for bothering..

You should have created that as an extended partition, not primary. Then go through and create new partitions "n"
I apologize for not giving you quite the right information. I know there's a table here with starting and ending blocks.
For illustration, here's an example of what to enter at the prompts. IGNORE THE BLOCK NUMBERS - it's just an illustration; just notice the extended/logical and the partition numbers.

l logical (numbered from 5)
Select (default p): l
So what do I do with these?
Code:
First sector (18432-102399, default 18432):
Using default value 18432 (DONT FILL ?)
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (18432-102399, default 102399):
Using default value 102399 (DONT FILL ?)
Should I fill in those with this?
Code:
Device Size (KiB) Mount
/dev/block/mmcblk0 7757824
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 256
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 256
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 1280
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 1280
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 5120
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 10240
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 7680
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 7680
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 296960
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 137216
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 65536
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 1970176
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 5252096
/dev/block/mmcblk1 <varies>
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 <varies>
Also, how do I do the last two? Just testing things I don't have the numbers so im randomly copying and pasting the number sets.

the numbers you want are here within ^post n°8. (value is Kb) and in many other posts!
The last partition n°17, should and must have only some 5gb because your device is 8 gb. Take care to set fdisk with the proper set up between blocks and Bytes and in case of error don't panic, just trail again .
Good luck
sorry lolo9393

Your no help, that's for: "CORRECT partition sizes (for 16GB model!):"
As I said above, I have a 8 GIG USA YP-G70.
If your gonna post, maybe you should read more clearly.

You follow the table until partition 17 that will show only some "5252096" kb remaining if entered numbers are correct, because you have a 8 Gb device.
I tried to help you with what I know, sorry for my bad english..

Please listen th his help. He knows more about it than I do.
i apologize but no matter how i insert those numbers they never come out close
I got up to block 16 but it says i over pass the cylendars
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 64181 313396 1993728 83 Linux
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 313401 1937720 12994560 83 Linux
What do I set for 17 as well?
I can't get the tables to add up to what u got so i copied the start and ending for each.
Stuck on 16/17 need some help.
Edit --
I was able to flash stock! But i get a bunch of errors about opening cache and mounting.
rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

Yes, you were able to flash but your device is still useless because partition 16 and 17 are wrongly built.
may be you entered the right numbers but resulting in wrong recording , check your print (p) attached.
It is perfect until partition 16 beginning..
.Now just delete and rewrite 16 and 17th. (end n°17 by +k instruction will fill the gap and give you the right number or enter 242432 blocks as follow .
Vdev/block/mmcblk0p17 313401 242432 ........... result dotted should give some 5252096 kb.
Then write and print again in order to check your good work and at this point your next flashing will be good! (may be a wipe cache to be sure and avoid bootloop)
other suggestion is you come to my home tomorrow morning in order I arrange that for you!!!!
Cheers

What do I put for 0p16 then? Sorry I'm making sure i dont mess up
Tried following the same 16 and it went through however for block 17 the number value is too high

Quick because it is lunch time here...
P16 is the same as in the 16gb table.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 64181 313396 1993728 83 Linux
ok ,got it?
No risk you mess the device, only take care to verify what is done by (p) print instruction and check the written table.
it doesnt allow me to set that value.. im sorry

Did you delete the partition before rewriting it?
Should work because you have enough numbers of blocks to fill as said.
If no success do as follow:
delete p16 and 17, then do a write and post the result you get.
here: (I dont have enough space for every 16, or 17)
but im glad you've gotten me this far.

Sorry i didn't check it first but you are 4 heads mode (read line 2 of your print) that explain wy your lack of blocks.
You shoud reset fdisk in secondary menu to 1 head like following example
1 heads, 16 sectors/track,
Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes
I have no means to open fdisk from here to guide you, but it is easy to find once understood.
I come back in 3 hours time and if you still have pb I'll check for more guidance.
OK?
ADD;
How to change heads number?
select (h) to change number of heads in expert menu (m)
(now you are the "expert") you should get some 970 000 cylinders to split.

doing this will allow you to successfully complete your memory table. great!

Howdy. Just a question: if I select "use as internal memory" for my 128 GB SD card I inserted in my Nokia 1, does that mean I won't be able to access the said SD card if I try to plug the Nokia 1 to a PC?

Hi,
I've used an 8 Gig SanDisk MicroSD card as internal memory on my Nokia 1.
The short answer to your question is no, probably not. at least not without a bit of effort.
I just plugged the SD card into a Linux box, which give me the below data

I'm not sure what file system is in use as it was reported as unknown. You'll need to figure out what file system is in use and install whatever tools your PC OS needs to work with that file system.
