I have searched but not seen it posted anywhere. Does anyone have the partition table for this device? Specifically looking for where the modem is located

I see references to wipe the Dalvik but my unit returns some error about not finding an EXT3 partition. I used Clockwork's partition tool to initialize 3 partitions and so am surprised that this 'Dalvik' volume wasn't created.
Can someone post the appropriate links please. I'm sure it's been answered.
TIA
The EXT partition that it's looking for is probably the A2SD partition, which is an addon and thus not necessary to have. If you haven't got A2SD then CWM will just skip it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, otherwise you have no problem.
Hello.
How many ext partitions can I have?
I clicked "make partition" a few times in amo-ra. Does that mean I have many ext partitions?
If the free space on your SD-Card got smaller then a) you just have one big EXTn partition or b) you have several EXTn partitions... if you really want to know, boot gparted..
Did one really need to make a post about this? Is it not just something you could have logically found out yourself or researched rather than straight up making a new thread?
Hey I have been wondering this for a while. I'm tempted to just try it but I thought I would see if anyone has and knows the why/whynot
I know Clonezilla is great for making drive and partition backups of other systems. Would it be able to mount and read all the partitions? Just wondering, Im guessing no otherwise it seems like everyone would use it.
Can someone explain a bit about what is responsible for writing all the files into "dev" partition, I read somewhere that its supposed to be some kind of ram files ?
Another question is it possible to edit it ?
Just thinking out loud....
I don't know if the ICS leak flashes change the partition table, but the way my phone is set up, there's 11 partitions:
p1: /efs
p2: /system
p3: /cache
p4: The "Internal SD"
p5: A mere 2MB. Mostly blank (long stretches of 00 or FF), except for <1KB of... something. Nothing jumps out at me in the hexdump. Could just be leftover garbage from Gingerbread.
p6: /data
p7: 16MB. Definitely something important here. Strings present suggest it's related to, if not part of, the bootloader, or perhaps download mode.
p8: 5MB: Looks like an Android bootimg. Recovery?
p9: 8MB: Pretty sure this is where the Linux kernel and rootfs for the actual system resides.
p10: 8MB: Completely blank.
p11: 500MB. An ext4 filesystem containing only the Asphalt 6 video and screenshots that you'd find on the "Internal SD" of a freshly Odin'd Glide.
I wonder if p5 actually serves a purpose; if not, we could theoretically merge it, p4, and p6 into one gigantic /data partition. That may be a bit more useful for those running with large microSD cards.
Things we need to look at:
One, bootloader. Does it look for things at static offsets? Does it read the partition table?
Two, recovery. I'm guessing CWMR will read the partition table, but is it expecting certain partitions to contain certain things?
In both cases, it shouldn't be anything we can't work around by filling out partition numbers or stretches of NAND with blank partitions. But we'll need to know what the offsets need to be.
Just putting the thought out there.
PIT & GPT, custom PIT
Actually the last PIT partition contains GPT data, and what we've seen inside the booted system comes out of GPT. But there is unallocated ~11Mb (according to GPT) before the first partition, and the PIT contains info about that!
cross-ref my thread: [Q] mmcblk0 Partiton table type (sgh-i927)
For now I'm looking a way of crafting my custom PIT-file, did you see any info about that?
