Repartition Tool for A5 - A7 (2017) - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D

Code:
Your warranty is now void.
Should anything happen to your device, I will be there to help you,
but I won't be responsible for any damage on your device.
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications
This is a flasheable zip that makes the Galaxy A5 and A7 (2017 Series) Treble capable
What does the zip do?
if you flash it once it deletes the system partition and creates 2 new partitions:
system ~4.1Gb
vendor 600Mb
and installs modified TWRP for Treble
if flashed again, it will erase vendor and system partitions and create a single system partition ~4.7Gb (stock) plus reinstall TWRP stock version.
What doesn't the zip do?
this zip does not add the necessary files for Project Treble, it only creates the necessary partitions
Notes:
repartitioning is an extremely dangerous process, I have personally tested it on an A720F and the Muhamet User has confirmed its operation on an A520F.
for now the zip is only useful for developers because we do not have a vendor partition usable so far
Special thanks to:
Corsicanu for stock TWRP
CosmicDan for the repartitioning guide
Muhamet for Trying it on his A5

I assume so. You can also do this with parted.

no at all, only modifies the system partition, your other partitions like "data" will be untouched

Honestly, this seems promising.
But, does the vendor partition remain empty, or does this copy the vendor files to there, so we can install treble ROMs?
Or we should flash a treble ROM that's made for our device specifically so it fills that hole? Or maybe some other way? That part is a bit unclear. In short, how does the vendor partition get filled?
Also, you mentioned treble TWRP. Where did you get it? Did you make it? What version is it?
Thanks for your patience about this

Yes, you need a treble rom or vendor files and a different boot image. Then it's ready for gsi's. Treble twrp can be compiled similar to "normal" twrp. So someone needs to build a treble rom. You?

Thought that was the case
Hehe, maybe I could, but I don't think I will
But well, we'll see what happens in the future.

Why? Theres no need for an update.
Also, stop asking for updates everywhere, thats against the XDA rules.

You mean you have no vendor partition?
You have TWRP that came with it installed and you can see/mount the vendor partition in the recovery? If so, theres nothing wrong with this script.

No what I'm trying to say is that the vendor partition is empty and I would like you to update it for that

Dude, did you even read the OP post?
It clearly says "...Does not add the neccessary files for Project Treble...".
This script only adds an empty partition, not the files needed for treble.
