[Q] Does the KF really have 8GB of storage space?

I have read that the KF has 8GB of storage. I see two partitions.... one of them is 1GB in size and the other is 5GB
Can someone explain to me how the 8GB is divided up on the KF?
Thanks

If I understand it correctly, it has two partitions. The 1GB and a 7GB that hosts the system software and where the SD-Card section is. The 5GB you see is what's free after the system software and your stored files.

If you look at Setup -> Device you will see what the memory allocation is and what is is basically for...

The top section is Application storage and is aprox 1GB. This is where your applications are loaded along with some other data.
The top section is Internal Storage and is what you see when you plug in the device as a USB drive as the SDcard. It is less than 6GB.
It is possible to move applications in a round about way from the Application Memory to the Internal Storage segment.

The 1 gb partition is for your apps, etc....the rest is for reading material. It's my understanding there are utilities to repartition. Not sure if you have to root to do that however. This is where the nook tablet and KF differ the most IMO.

Also remember, there is a difference between actual memory and usable memory. Yes, it's 8 gig but that is not a full 8 gig of usable memory (which is why you only see about 6 gig.
For example, my 8 gig flash drive only has a little over 7 gig of usable memory.

It's not because of "actual memory" and "usable memory" It's because manufactures represent hard drive space using a different reference.
Here's an example for a 1 TB hard drive:
Manufacturers describe the size of their drive in multiples of 1000
1,000 GB = 1,000 * 1,000,000,000 bytes = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.
Now let's see how many KiB that is. 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes,
so 1,0000,000,000,000 bytes = 976,562 KiB.
So how many MiB is that? 1 MiB = 1,024 KiB.
So 976,562 KiB = 953 GiB.
Operating systems measure hard drive space in GiB, even though they call it "GB".

Thank you to all that answered....

Are some Fires different?
My fire shows 2.13 GB of 5.37 GB available. No matter how I calcluate that, it is still well under 7GB for content storage. Can someone explain? Thanks.

Calculating size using GB still falls short of 8GB. It actually has 7376MiB of storage. And of those 7376MiB, 1134MiB is for apps/data in the data partition, and 5131MiB is for other media in the sdcard partition. Android sits on a 512MiB partition leaving 599MiB for recovery, diagnostics, bootloader, etc.

Would be nice if there was a small drive we could plug into the port to add a little more.

+ any drive and any operating system uses some of the storage space for the filesystem format info, the partition tables, the file tables and so on. So it doesn't matter if the it's 8GB or 8GiB you will never have the full 8 of it unless you leave it an unformated unusable drive. The bigger the drive the bigger the amount of it that has to reserved for the format info by the system.

I've always been confused by the partitioning since I got it as well

It's been said that the Kingston Wi-Drive will have android support soon, so that would give ya a portable hard drive you could hook up to with wifi to carry around with ya.

From what I've read on other Fire forums, it already does. It sends out its own wifi signal. Cost $49 for 16gb; around $90 for 32gb.

Partition sizes given in decimal kB and MB are inaccurate.
Sizes and offsets given by parted are not exact because they are given in decimal kB and MB, rather than in binary KiB and MiB, while partitioning is done in the binary units. You can see the exact numbers from the following:
Code:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
179 0 7553024 mmcblk0
179 1 128 mmcblk0p1
179 2 256 mmcblk0p2
179 3 10240 mmcblk0p3
179 4 196608 mmcblk0p4
179 5 16384 mmcblk0p5
179 6 65536 mmcblk0p6
179 7 10240 mmcblk0p7
179 8 5120 mmcblk0p8
179 9 524288 mmcblk0p9
179 10 1164288 mmcblk0p10
179 11 262144 mmcblk0p11
179 12 5254144 mmcblk0p12
I have no idea what '179' means, but the sizes are all in 1-KiB (i.e., 1024-byte) blocks, and all the numbers are integral multiples or integral fractions of 1024, so that the partition sizes are, except for those too small, all in integral numbers of MiB.

well, my question regarding this data are
1. why i don't get the name of each partition ?
2. as we know, kernel block memory is mmcblk0p13, the block size is 7.5MB, is this available size only for the kernel or this size included kernel+ramdisk?
3. we got so many partition, any idea of having a hidden partition that is vacant or useable to mount other things?
thanks

You're making me ashamed
I'll look for my notes tomorrow. Of those partitions, IIRC we (that is, me & friends in this forum) successfully identified:
* bootloader partition
* 2 (two) baseband partitions
* ROM partition
* recovery partition
As to the others... they *are* still mysterious...

hmm what does mmcblk10-26 store sir?

You mean 19-26? No idea. Probably not used for anything. You can dd them and see if they contain something, or is just filled with zeros.

Apparently some partitions were intended to store backup copies of bootloaders, AMSS, ADSP and the Android boot image; however, there are some mismatches between tables in OSBL and APPSBL, as well as apparently wrong partition sizes — e.g., the OSBL table lists the partition type 0x9b as /boot/apps_bkp, but this partition (mmcblk0p23) is too small to contain the actual boot.img, and the boot image backup is actually stored in mmcblk0p24, which was intended for ADSP backup.

Apparently some partitions were intended to store backup copies of bootloaders, AMSS, ADSP and the Android boot image; however, there are some mismatches between tables in OSBL and APPSBL, as well as apparently wrong partition sizes — e.g., the OSBL table lists the partition type 0x9b as /boot/apps_bkp, but this partition (mmcblk0p23) is too small to contain the actual boot.img, and the boot image backup is actually stored in mmcblk0p24, which was intended for ADSP backup.

is it possible partition number 19-26 are intended to be backup partition?

Could phone operator lock code be stored in one of the (normally unmounted) partitions?

Help can't Reboot into recovery

Hi guys I got Xperia T3 D5102 few days back.
I rooted it & deodexed rom & now making few mods.
I tried making advance reboot Mod with restart options to recovery, system restart & soft reboot.
Reboot & soft reboot option is working fine but reboot to Recovery is not working. It ends up in just normal reboot of phone.
Also I tried to go the hardware way by trying key combinations in many ways
Power + Volume up/down doesn't work
Power + Volume both btns also didn't work.
Also tried using ADB commands for Advance power menu . But no luck then too.
I suspect there is no recovery partition and hence didn't boot.
The below table shows the partition table

Need help from developers /modders on how to proceed further and lemme know some hint to proceed.
I suspect recovery partition missing. Anyone can confirm the same ? The above table would give a clear layout of the memory partitions of the phone.
Request someone to throw light on this !
Thanks

Hello, just a question : how did you root your T3 ? are you allways on .14 ?

Yes my Android version is 4.4.2 build version is 18.2.A.1.14

ok, as my D5103 is ugrade to .17, i have to wait for a solution, if i don't want to downgrade, but i'm not sure that the rot will stay if i upgrade after root on .14...

Xperia devices don't have a recovery partition. Neither do they have any stock recovery.

None of them has AFAIK. Can u give some example of device which might have? Because recovery is basically flashed in FOTA partition

Ahora he intentado hacerlo y puff.. el paquete ABD me dice que no EXISTE

H815 System Dump Needed!

After flashing xposed 64bit the H815 will not boot. We need someone to dump the system partion so we have a way to restore system until kdz is available.
After someone dumps and uploads the system.img we should just be able to flash via fastboot.

Mine is coming tomorrow. I'll gladly do it if you tell me how to dump it.

I'm a system engineer (server support, etc.) so I should be able to handle it. Just needed to be pointed in the right direction. I shall post up tomorrow.

Scratch that, evidently root is only available for the EU H815 and mine is the Taiwan one, from what I know. I'll see if I get lucky somehow, but by the looks of it I won't be able to provide the dump since I can't achieve root.

I want to flash a firmware for downgrade.
How i can make it without a dload method?
I can't downgrade my phone with this method, always a warning appear "error checking files" or anything like that...

This is a partition layout it can't help you with downgrade.
To downgrade without brick the phone you have to find a roll back firmware. In the picture is an example for p20 pro.
