CFW- How to increase the C drive size ?

[Guest prayaas1998]

If leftover space is used as Phone memory, what we can do is that we can repartition using vizhigal's tutorial assigning lesser space to rofs2 (around 90 MB) leaving the core the way it is. Then we'll see if we gained some space on C:.

if we dont include maps its easily possible to limt rofs to 90-95 mb and do maps ever work for PAkistan ?

[Guest prayaas1998]

So who will try it? The Million Dollar Question. I'll repartition it but not try...

can it kill phone ?

[Guest prayaas1998]

No. We are just repartitioning normally... I want to take back my words in the previous post.

i said bcoz i cant flah any more lost monitor so no pc usage

Sorry for the late reply i was away from internet. All BB5 phones have a Flash EEPROM ( ( Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory ) The total capacity  of EEPROM varies with the model and hence the C drive capacity also 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 , ROFSN is  121634816 and the Z drive  total is 166068224  .C dive is 93061120. Total capacity is  260833280  .( 248.75 Mb ) The basic details of RM 612 ,  C6-00  is below Memory,:Storage+capacity RAM+type: SDRAM RAM+capacity: 128 MiB ROM+type: Flash EEPROM ROM+capacity: 512 MiB, including 280MiB user-accessible non-volatile storage In RM 612 core we can find the details as below 00000300000002 00080000 019A0000  524288      2686970 00000400000002 01A20000 0B980000  27394048  194510848 00000800000001 0D3C0000 11BC0000  222035968  297533440  00000A00000001 1F140000                  521404416 Core is  27394048 , ROFSN is  194510848 and the Z drive  total is  222035968  .C dive is  297533440 . Total capacity is  521404416  .( 497.25 Mb ) The basic details of RM -555 ,N97 mini  is below Memory,-Storage-capacity RAM+type: SDRAM RAM-capacity: 128 MiB ROM+type: Flash EEPROM ROM:capacity: 512 MiB, including 280.6MiB user-accessible non-volatile storage The below details we can find in the core file 00000300000002 00080000 019C0000          524288    27000832 00000400000002 01A40000 0B960000        27525120  194379776  00000800000001 0D3A0000 11BE0000      221904896  297664512  00000A00000001 1F140000                      521404416 Core is  27525120 , ROFSN is  194379776  and the Z drive  total is  221904896  .C dive is  297664512  . Total capacity is  521404416  .( 497.25 Mb ) Hence depending upon the EEPROM capacity the core and ROFS2 & C drive capacity are decided. One more thing we need to know about the flashing process and about the loaders used in the flashing process before any changes to be made.

great info vizi. . . +1

[KBM]

Great homework u have done... +1

[farazejaz]

impressive stuff so can we go the other way give rofs a bigger space for a lot of features

[vds5344]

hmmm but anyt way to bypass the limits?
