Hey i sent in a bug report concerning online android.it doesn't make full backup like cwm does.it wont backup boot image. So the Guy sent me this. ( ( (Information about your device is rare on the internet. Would you be able to direct me to a place where I can obtain information about partition layout for that device? ) apparently this is needed for him to write a patch to get his software to make full backups for the admire. Though i am unsure of he needs. Can somebody post it here or send to him if anybody happens to know.
 
Thanks. That will be nice if the guy (ameer dawood) can get onlineandroid to make full backups for us. I am assuming when its ready there will be a file in the list of patches to apply edit. Aparently that wasnt enough info.i assume he needs a more detailed layout.
 
thats the most detailed layout you can get. open adb on your phone (or terminal emulator)

Code: 
$ su
# df

that will show the partition layout, and all that good stuff. i think there is an argument to show it in megs.

or lsblck

I need to know which partition is which. Especially which ones are boot and recovery partitions.

I know stl12, stl13, and stl14 is /system, /data, and /cache.

Pretty sure (maybe 75% sure) mmcblk0 is boot.
mmcblk0p2 is SD-EXT I believe.
mmcblk0p3 or mmcblk0p1 *maybe* recovery?
bml0 - bml 15 is radios and other random stuff.

I am not 100% sure on this, though... wait till PlayfulGod, Spz0, or someone who payed attention in science class replys and corrects me :p

mmcblk0 is not boot. It is the full nand (unpartitioned) itself.
 
I believe those are sd partitions. All we need is to identify the boot and recovery so he can write a patch for onlineandroid to include those to backups. My admires charger port is screwed up so i cant use it to check anything

No, Those are not SD Card partitions. Those are the actual NAND System partitions. One of the mmcblk0p partitions is boot and recovery, don't remember which though...
 
Ok i was wrong about those being sd partitions. I just couldnt imagine the partition size being so large unless it was on the sd. I would have assumed that the overall sd is about 32 gig the 1st partition is about 28 gig the 2nd partition is 2 gigs and 3rd partition is about 1 gig.

How do you figure?
 
I dont know i just guessed . The 179 partitions seem identical to my sd card. And the layout he posted is the layout from my phone. First entry. The card as a whole. 2nd entry.fat32 my storage.3rd entry. Link2sd .4 th entry would be for swap but never was used. By looking at the numbers those partitions seem huge in comparision. Made sense to me. I would run df in terminal.take out sd card and run df again. But my phone is broken. But at best that may tell us which partitions are not boot and recovery and wont get a patch for the admire
 
Ya i stated earlier I WAS WRONG and why i was lead to believe what was incorrect.Even with my admission of quilt of inferior knowledge further arguement was instigated.. maybe somebody could do me a favor so i know more about this. It was stated 179 2 mmcblk2 is probably my sd ext. Which is a partition of my sd card? Where are the other two remaining partitions of my sd card? Again this wont help us get a patch written for our device but feed our ego and prove a higher intellegence level by arguement instead of problem solving.

I shall ask Spz0 or Sue, gimme a minute....
 
Teh almightly shabby said recovery and boot are in bml8, bml9, and bml10.

So I guess I was wrong :o

Thinking about it, and I believe it is bml9 and bml10.
Going to look at fstab, brb...
