shivam94 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 WARNING : If you wrongly change any values which are not known to you and erased the phone certificates values by mistake your phone will have to go Nokia Care . The author of this tutorial and gizmolord are not responsible in any manner for the damages you have done .Make sure you follow the tutorial to the point or you may end with a permanently bricked phone This guide is prepared by a symbian s60v5 modder , VGP, with help of vizhigal, which helps you to prepare your own repartitioned rofs2. So binh24,good bye ! All credits to vgp and vizhigal Here is the guide: This is a short guide by the help of which anyone can prepare his own repartitioned core ,rofs2 and rofs3 for a Nokia 5233 CFW. This is based on v51.1.002 firmware of nokia 5233 (RM -625) for which the total rofs space is 119.25 MB.(see below for details) NOTE: * The partition sample values given is for RM-625 only.For other phones it is different.So other phone users if want to do this,use this only for comparison. * Do this ,only if you are familiar with phone flashing,firmware unpacking and repacking at least. Tools required--t0trader NFE O7O6,Nokia Cooker 2.9 Big thanks to vizhigal STEP 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Put all your original firmware files in a folder 1)open your original firmware(OFW)core(.C00 file) with nokia cooker.Delete all files.(now you deleted the rofs1 files) N0w click 'unlock rofs'.Change the values from 2B to 2C. Click 'extend ROFS1'.Now click 'save firmware' 2)open your ofw rofs2 with nokia cooker.Remove all the files.Save the firmware. 3)open your ofw rofs3 with nokia cooker.Remove all the files.Save the firmware. 4)open your ofw uda file with nokia cooker.Remove all the files.Save the firmware.(this is not important.Do this to get a blank uda so that to get max space in phone C drive) STEP 2 -------------------------------------------- Run t0trader NFE0706.change its language to english (click the button at right top corner for that) (1)open the previously saved core with NFEO706. Double click on the area in between 'open file' button and 'unpack' button.This will open the 'adjust partition info' window. Here is where we are going to adjust our partiton values.Dont worry it is easy to do. First understand the values displayed. You can see rofs1 max partition size as 045C0000.What this means?Open windows calculator in scientific view(programmer view if win7).Select Hex mod. Enter the value 045C0000.You may end up with as shown in the image.Now change to Dec mod.You can see the value as 73138176. Divide this number by 1024 .Once again divide it by 1024.You get the value as 69.75. This means max size given for rofs1 in OFW is 69.75 MB. You can see rofs2 max partition size as 02480000.Open windows calculator in scientific mod.Select Hex mod. Enter the value 02480000.You may end up with as shown in the image.Now change to Dec mod.You can see the value as 38273024. Divide this number by 1024 .Once again divide it by 1024.You get the value as 36.5. This means max size given for rofs2 in OFW is 36.5 MB. You can see rofs3 max partition size as 00D00000.Open windows calculator in scientific mod.Select Hex mod. Enter the value 00D00000.Now change to Dec mod.You can see the value as 13631488. Divide this number by 1024 .Once again divide it by 1024.You get the value as 13. This means max size given for rofs3 in OFW is 13 MB. The total rofs space that we can use in RM-625 is 69.75+36.5+13 = 119.25 mb (NOTE: If you open binh24 core for RM-625 V51.1.2 with NFE0706 and check the partition info as above,you can see rofs1=7.375 MB( useless i think),rofs2=110.875 MB,rofs3=1 MB.Total=7.375+110.875+1 = 119.25 MB.We got the same value as when added above in ofw.So the total rofs space needs to be a constant.) (2)Now we are going to enter our own repartition values in the above prepared ofw core file. I would suggest to give a minimum safe value to rofs1 (0.5mb) and rofs3 (0.5 MB) and give the remaining space to rofs2. what will be the rofs2 space now ? Easy . 119.25-(0.5+0.5)= 119.25-1 = 118.25 MB wow ! our rofs2 size is 8mb more in size than binh24 rofs2 !! ( a ) we are giving 0.5 MB as rofs1 max space.Open windows calculator in Dec mod. 0.5x 1024 x 1024 =524288 Change to hex mod.You can see 80000. Since we need to enter 8 digits,add required number of zeros before the number. ie, enter the rofs1 maximum size as 00080000. Click ' Adjust ' button which is present right side to it. ( b ) we are giving118.25 MB as rofs2 max space.Open windows calculator in Dec mod. 118.25x 1024 x 1024 =123994112 Change to hex mod.You can see 7640000 Since we need to enter 8 digits,add required number of zeros before the number. ie, enter the rofs2 maximum size as 07640000 Click Adjust.Select the rofs2 that prepared in stage 1. ( c ) we are giving 0.5 MB as rofs3 max space.Open windows calculator in Dec mod. 0.5x 1024 x 1024 =524288 Change to hex mod.You can see 80000. Since we need to enter 8 digits,add required number of zeros before the number. ie, enter the rofs3 maximum size as 00080000 Click Adjust.Select the rofs3 that prepared in stage 1. Now click OK .Close NFE0706. STEP 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Now again open the pepared core with nokia cooker.Press save firmware to repack. Now again open the pepared rofs2 with nokia cooker.Press save firmware to repack. Now again open the pepared rofs3 with nokia cooker.Press save firmware to repack. (The above steps are needed) You are almost done.But do not flash with the prepared files now,because they are empty. Extract any c6 or n97 based cfw with nokia cooker.Copy all the files in it somewhere in your PC. Now open our prepared rofs2 with nokia cooker.Add the saved n97 or c6 cfw files to this rofs2. Repack and flash the rofs2 with the newly prepared core.Done. (You can avoid the rofs3) Congrats ! You have just flashed with your own repartitioned firmware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download link for t0trader NFE [made by t0trader from OPDA,all credits to him for the awesome tool ],this version was shared by vizhigal http://www.mediafire.com/?ootbs59dd11in2d Download Nokia cooker (credits to Marco for the great tool) http://www.symbian-toys.com/nokiacooker.aspx Download Nokia 5233 RM-625 firmware repartitioned as per the guide http://www.mediafire.com/?cijgwwg2ma10j4x User Reviews: Success ..i successfully repartitoned RM 588 v 51.6.2 (UK-IRELAND-PORTUGAL) and used it to flash Hawk CFW :P..and about the warning on 1st page please dont be afraid..i bricked my phone coz i used v51.9.2 which has some issues..this tutorial is perfect .. oh btw i think this is the first user review for this tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilhunter47 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Using this we can prepare repartitoned rofs2 right??..but for making a C6 or N97 port from OFW of C6 we still need binh24 help na??..or we just extract files from c6 rofs2 and just put it into repartitioned rofs2?? and also how to make OFW in C6 structure??..the repartitioned rofs2 is empty na??..what all files should u put in it??

Download the ofw of 5230 n c6 both .. Repartition the 5230 partition size as per the tutorial.. Extract the rofs1 from the core of 5230 ..add the contents to the rofs2 ...then extract the contents of rofs3 and add to rofs2 ..repack the rofs2 ...this is ur repartitioned OFW means this is the OFW in C6 structure ... If u want to port c6 then empty ur ofw repartitioned rofs2 ...extract the rofs1 from c6 core ...then add the contents of c6 rofs1, rofs2 n rofse to ur 5230 repartitioned rofs2 ...now u ported c6 to 5230 and u can also use hex editor to change the partition size ..but u need to identify the partition table in the hex editor ..the core file contains the partition table which starts from the address 127h ..anyway thats a little harder ...so better try totrado's nfe0706 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vizhigal Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 u can also use hex editor to change the partition size ..but u need to identify the partition table in the hex editor ..the core file contains the partition table which starts from the address 127h ..anyway thats a little harder ...so better try totrado's nfe0706 Use NFE0706 to open the core you will get parttab.bin in the folder where you have palced your core file. It is the partition table of the core. Where you have to read right to left to get the hex values. By little practice you can identify and parse the details easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vizhigal Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 First plan what you are trying to do. Note down your existing sizes of ROFS1 ,ROFS2 AND ROFS3. Just calculate the revised sizes in Mb first, then ib bytes then in HEX values. Use the below excel sheet as a model only to calculate your CFW. Caution : If you wrongly change any values which are not known to you and erased the phone certificates values by mistakes your phone will have to go NC .
