Creating the partition.xml file is key for building unbrick Roms.
I have not found any python or bash scripts that will create the partition.xml.
And many of the Qualcomm Proprietary tools floating around are out of date and no longer apply.
I have created a OPEN OFFICE CALC spreadsheet to create the data you need to put in the partition.xml file automatically. There is still a process that must be followed in order to do this correctly.
THIS PROCESS REQUIRES A LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM ( NO WINDOWZ )
YOU CAN USE A UBUNTU BOOTABLE CDROM OR USB FLASH DRIVE.
See here to make a bootable flash drive. If you aren't running linux.

OPEN OFFICE IS PRE INSTALLED IN UBUNTU.
YOU CAN USE THE SPREADSHEET IN WINDOWS IF YOU INSTALL OPEN OFFICE ( IT'S FREEWARE)
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN WINDOWS BUT I RECOMMEND NOT TOO.
Step 1 is to download this spreadsheet.
Download and unzip the generator spreadsheet.
I will go over the process of filling in the data you need to generate the partition.xml
Please hold off on posting until I let you know I am finished with the tutorial.
The tutorial will be several post long.
Thanks
