Hello Lanchon,

Thanks for your in-depth description of how to obtain a log under windows.

As promising as it seemed to get the adb connection working at the moment I just didnt have the time to do it; so I went with option 2) (flashable dump tool) that seems to have worked very fine - thanks for this invaluable option.

I tried to attach the log file renamed as txt and also packed to a zip but github kept insisting I should "try again" - so here is the link to the file on my dropbox:

Thanks again for making this happen.

I should add the probably important fact that I repartitioned the phone via pit file to accomodate lollipop needs (/data to 4 GB). So the log-file does not reflect factory settings...

Lanchon commented 8 years ago

on the contrary, thank you!! done: https://github.com/Lanchon/REPIT/commit/b2d8f73b3cfc8a2a9e5e3be51ff3ea075e24b3cc will push a new release for you soon.

i forgot to mention that you are in luck because your recovery supports all required operations :)

Wha.... Done? Man, you are coding like crazy! I will now dig into your guide on how to rename for me to utilize all of the unused preload space and leave all the rest untouched for the time beeing. If data is preservable during this procedure all the better. If not I can restore a nandroid after resizing...

Now I will have to find another "issue" to be notified of updates...

Thanks again from Stuttgart, Germany

:) yes, data will be preserved unless you wipe.

use lanchon-repit-20160317-sdcard=max-preload=min+wipe-i9100g.zip to wipe preload, shrink it, and donate its former space to internal sdcard.

resizing data and sdcard are 'cheap' operations, and the more free space in them the cheaper. resizing system is expensive, as all of /data must be moved (even the free area of the /data partition).

if you have a REALLY BIG /data partition with a lot of free space in it, and you want to resize /system:
