here is a test build for your device

1) download and EXTRACT this zip file: EXTRACT-THIS-ZIP-(d2-test).zip 2) READ REPIT INSTRUCTIONS. 3) if you flash as-is, you will gain 0.8 GB in /data taken from /cache. this should be quick and safe. 4) if you RESIZE /SYSTEM and NOT WIPE /DATA AT THE SAME TIME USING REPIT, the operation will take a VERY LONG WHILE. this is because the huge data partition must be moved around in the disk. 5) resizing /system requires moving /data. if this operation is interrupted, you WILL loose your data. READ THE REPIT INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING.

thanks!

please note that there is a risk involved in trying this. some devices have signed partition tables and will refuse to boot with a modified partition table. in this case, the device would be hard-bricked. typically this protection showed up on later devices (you device is old), and this is the reason ive mostly stopped work on REPIT. i would expect you are not affected, but there is no way to know.

you can use the strings command on an image of the bootloader partition to try get hints regarding GPT signatures. read about it in the GPT signing issues that are open here.

hello lanchon, I apologize, this thread got archive and I forget about it.

I tested repit in January and have been using it for the past 5 months. it works perfectly with this device, the tables are not signed like with the S4+

thank you much for working on this
