New Core Repartition for RM-356 v60.0.003

If you look at the RM-356 v60.0.003 repartitioned core by binh24, you can see that there are: ROFS1 = 1 MB (located in core, used <1 kb) ROFS2 = 114 MB ROFS3 = 1 MB (not used) What about these variants: ROFS1 = 0  (if possible) ROFS2 = 116 MB ROFS3 = 0  (if possible) ROFS1 = 10 kb (as small as possible) ROFS2 = 115.98 MB ROFS3 = 10 kb (as small as possible) That way we can get near 2 mb for more stuff in Z. My reasons for this: At least I don't know for 1mb rofs3 file, that can be used to utilise its space. We can add files to rofs1, but it needs additional steps of unpacking/repacking the core.

Using the C6 port core repartion we completely ignore ROFS3 (flash without it). Yes, it is dangerous, but have tried several times (>10) with edited both core, rofs2 and uda file. And what happened - in some cases JAF doesn't like the files (no actually flash them) and show error. In other cases JAF flash the files, but then phone doesn't boot after service mode, but revived after flash with other files. When I was trying only to change the C drive size, phone works like normal, but I don't see my changes (C drive reports original size).

See these tools in reply 24 by vizhigal:

5800 dual boot OFW and C6

The last version of NFE by T0trader allows changes in partition table. Some are locked, but can be change by hex editor afterwards (at least I have tried this). Probably there are some check sums that stopped this to work fine for me, but people could try with simpler tasks and see if it works for them.

You mean the NFE by doctorly ?

ROFS1 SIZE minimum should be 512 kB. details about Flash EEPROM of RM-356 The basic details of RM 356 -5800 Operating-System_Kernel:    Symbian Memory,-Storage-capacity ROM;type:    Flash EEPROM ROM:capacity:    256 MiB, including 81MiB user-accessible non-volatile storage RAM;type:    SDRAM RAM+capacity:    128 MiB From the above it is clear that C drive capacity is 81 Mib and rest goes for Z drive ( ROFS1 ,ROFS2&ROFS3 ) For RM 356 OFW the partition is below and we need to notice that the total capacity for Z drive can not exceed 166068224. In Core file , Address : 00000127 you will find the below details last 2 parts are the capacity in bytes. 00000300000002 00080000 029E0000      524288      43909120 00000400000002 02A60000 07400000    44433408      121634816 00000800000001 09E60000 058C0000    166068224      93061120 00000A00000001 0F8C0000                    260833280  . Core is  44433408 ( 42.375 MB), ROFS1+ROFS2+ROFS3  is  121634816 ( 116 MB ) Z drive  total is 166068224  ( 158.375 MB) . C dive is 93061120 (88.75 MB). Total capacity is  260833280  .( 248.75 Mb ) The re partitioned core by PNHT contains transfer of ROFSE files in place of ROFS1 files hence ROFS3 was not used in flashing. Now the chineese core partitioning is by placing minimum 512 kb text files in ROFS1 and partition is adjusted suitabley . Here you can use the ROFS3 for flashing. Further they have removed the hash check by calibrate the core to 2C from 2A. They also removed the 0X5D sector in ROFS2 to flash in Phoenix also. Why to change the partition for 2 MB . If the unwanted files ( promo.mif , promo files in private , unwanted language and  widget &  language files are removed in ROFS1 and ROFS2 you can gain up to 20 mb in the  partitioned ROFS2 . My ROFS2 is 82 Mb only against 114 Mb. with the unwanted files and some applications including ovi maps  deleted. Now QT V5.0 will not support symbian any more so we can expect no more update in qt 4.8 which can be modded in ROFS2 to save the file in C drive. I doubt that C drive can be increased by adjusting partition becuse the ROM size and the user writable memory is fixed in the flash chip by ROM writer depending upon the ROM size in each model..

There isnt QT 4.8 for s60v5...the one published all over internet saying its for s60v5 are fake (or to say not compatible with it)

4.8 version is for S^3 and the latest version of QT until now for s60v5 is 4.7.3

Reference: Support_for_Symbian | Qt Wiki | Qt Developer Network

Also, I think there will be no more updates to the QT for s60v5.. v4.7.3 will be the last version.

No, see the attached files - NFE by T0trader. It allows editing the partition table - double click on free/used space in core for editor window.

(Off topic - there are a lot of NFEs, that's why I like nokia cooker  ;) (This is a joke and it's meaning is funny for me)

@vizhigal

nevar27 resized C/Z drives size on C5-03, DM members confirmed this.

The problem I face is that RfAll is locked in public version of NFE and needs some hex editing of files afterwards...

be free to ask me any queries my friend! and if i know i will answer you! heheh ^_^
