Partition size is calculated as block count times a block size of 512
for DeviceType 2 and 4096 for DeviceType 8.
Flashing stock android on some devices fail due to some partitions
being too small for the corresponding file. This is the case on
klimtlte (and other exynos5420 devices), where sboot.bin does not fit
into the BOOTLOADER partition.
Tests done:
* Flash stock android (A500FXXS1CSB2) to a5lte, works fine
* Flash stock android (I9300XXUGPE1) to i9300, works fine
* Flash stock android (I9505XXUPQG1) to i9505, works fine
* Flash stock android (G930FXXU8ETI2) to herolte (with block
size 4096), works fine
* Flash stock android (T705XXU1CPL1) to klimtlte, fails due to
BOOTLOADER partition being smaller than sboot.bin, the file has a
size of 1148160, and the partition 2046*512=1047552
The Loke protocol supports 32-bit unsigned for the size of files being
flashed. However, POSIX file commands only support 32-bit (signed). As
such we now have platform specific support for larger files.
- As a result of the above two points, there are no "known boot
partitions", and hence boot partitions are not automatically flashed
last.
- Made partitions flash in the order in order in which partition arguments
are specified. Hence, it's recommended that you specify boot partitions
last.
- Added --usb-level argument that can be used for debugging libusbx, or
flashing issues in general.
- Removed generally non-functional firmware dumping behaviour.
- Removed auto-resume functionality - Although this feature was definitely
nice to have; I believe it may be responsible for flashing compatibility
issues for a variety of devices.
- As a result of the above. In order perform another action after a
--no-reboot action, you must provide the --resume flag.
- Heimdall Frontend also has support for specifying the --resume flag
via a GUI. Heimdall Frontend also tries to keep track of your actions
and enable "Resume" automatically after a "No Reboot" action.
- Refactored quite a few of the actions, and code responsible for flashing
(particularly PIT file flashing).
- Bumped version to 1.4RC3 *however* this commit is not yet an official
release candidate. It's still a WIP. In particular build files still
have not been updated for Linux and OS X.
- Massive refactoring.
- Support for Qualcomm based devices.
- Print PIT from file.
- Use partition names as arguments e.g. --HIDDEN, --KERNEL, --MOVINAND etc.
- Heimdall Frontend UI improvements.
- And much more...
