Deleting ROFS1 from .C00 file will not give a repartitioned core. Core file contains information about sizes of the  CORE ROFS1 ,ROFS2 ,ROFS3 & UDA. The sizes need to be modified  core .C00 file. Then ROFS2 file need to be modified with the amended size. The attributes need to be changed from 2B to 2A. The OFW ROFS3 need to be copied and to replace ROFS1 in the Core C00 file. The table need to be adjusted . Then only we will get the repartitioned core ready for flashing.

In the core .C00  file  the ROFS1 size  71,703,996 bytes is  reduced to 1,048,576 bytes . To accommodate 1,048,576 bytes the ROFS3 portion was added to the Core.C00 file. That is why  while flashing ROFS3 file was not used. The above is true in the case of PNHT core. First post updated.

Now because of the tools available we do not require any file in ROFS1. When PNHT done the first core partitioning this was the case. Again if you place one dummy file in the OFW core .C00 file , the modified core file can not be used for flashing because partition table in the .C00 file and partition table in the ROFS2 file need to be modified. First post updated with partition details.

Thanks.

Binh 52.0.101 CFW core contains ROFS3 files.

He has used v 52.0.007 ROFS3 files instead of 52.0.101 ROFS3 files in his CFW.

This is clear that ROFS3 files needed to replace ROFS1 files in the core .C00 files.

This can be compared as below using Sweatscape 010 editor.

Compare 1 & 3 to know that he replaced ROFS1 with v 52 .0.007 ROFS3 files

Compare 1&4 to know that CFW ROFS1 files are changed with respect to OFW.

Attached the below

1.binh-RM-356_52.0.101_rofs1.bin ( Just extracted ROFS1 for comparison because of file size )

2.RM-356_52.0.101.502.02.rofs3.bin

3.OFW.RM-356_52.0.007-0573800.rofs3.bin
