The phone is out of the box and i did not change any ROM settings or Rooted it. Nothing has been changed.
I was surfing my gallery when this first happened.

[MOD][GUIDE]Partition your internal SD for better App management 16GB & 32GB Models!
***************************************************************************************************************
UPDATE 19th July
I have added my donation details to my profile, following a request from @A-S who wished to donate and request a build.
I will always build for people, but he really wanted to donate so I set up the link!
You may thank him for the new versions he requested if they suit you! 10gb & 12gb now available!
32gb Model now supported! First tested and verified 6gb Data version attached, ask if you wish for different partition sizes! !
Beware #1 - Preload moddified version are NOT suitable for Samsung Stock Roms!
Beware #2 - Pre-Load moddified versions are for custom roms that do not use pre-load area! Please post on the respective thread for your rom and ask the author the question prior to using these versions if you are unsure! (I can tell you that SlimRoms & Cyanfox do not use preload, at present at least)
Beware #3 - If you want to go back to stock rom, you just need to flash my standard edition pit files, easy!
***************************************************************************************************************
Increase your data application partition and set your device free!
Are you bored of having to move apps to SD?
Bored of facing a stock issue of not even being able to move apps to your internal SD?
This thread will help you, currently only for n7000 16gb Model only.[/COLOR]
GUIDE - The usual rules apply, You will:
IMPORTANT: Please backup all your photos, videos and other important stuff on your PC, in the cloud or somewhere else where it is safe, as all your stuff on your internal SD card will be deleted!
1) Run compatible version of Odin, put your phone in to download mode (vol down/home/power button) and connect to PC via USB
2) Tick re-partition box
3) Click PIT button and select the pit file of your desired app partition size.
4a) Click PDA and select your stock official samsung jellybean rom - Edit- please remember if you use a rom that is not native to your region, it would be wise to flash the appropriate radio modem afterwards to ensure you get the signal strength you'd expect
4b) OR Flash your persnonal choice of kernel in *.tar format and pit file, reboot to CWM ( power button/vol up/home button) and install new rom or restore nandroid and boot as normal and skip to number 9 in this guide
5) Flash and wait for reboot
6) Let the phone reboot and wait until the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation and then remove the battery and do a factory reset using the usual power/vol up/ home trick.
7) Let it boot so you can check that you are happy with the result. ( I didn't, but you might want to)
8) Now flash your chosen rooted kernel and either stick with stock rom or enter CWM and flash your own custom rom.
9) When your phone boots, you may get a notification to format usb storage, say yes if prompted! If it that fails, connect you phone to your PC and format the the internal sd card manually.
10) Remember that Android likes automatically deciding where apps go, so sometime it tries to put stuff to SD itself (app requests it), it is worthwhile checking your installed apps to makes sure they went to internal app partition, you can tell this by either:
a) Look in Titanium back up, go to the move/integrate section and see if any apps show as moveable from SD to internal, if so run the batch process to put them on your nice new app partition, otherwise you may have issues running those apps.
b) If you don't have Titanium (why not?) then check the harder way by looking at app manager and swipe to the right to look at SD app, sort by size and then individually move ones back to internal storage.
11) That easy! Here is a shot of my resulting app manager
Files attached to post including original pit in case you want it back to stock values!
Enjoy!

Thanks to @RivakDebbie for testing this pit file on his own N7000 :good:
Welcome to the N7000 @metalgearhathaway
Just as a matter of caution, an idea. Would you mind considering to add something like "please backup all your photos, videos and other important stuff on your PC, in the cloud or somewhere else where it is safe, as all your stuff on your internal SD card will be deleted!"
Thanks again for your contribution ?

BUT your Instruction 4b dosnt work for me, CM11 told me some thing like Device Auto is not supported... after flashing a complete Sammy-ROM as instructed in 4a evrything works fine!

Cheers for letting me know this.
To check, did you then follow 4a and get stock rom on and then upgrade to cm11 afterwards and all worked? I assume so?
Please confirm that and I'll update OP for CM/KK users
Thanks. Just tried it and re-partitioning is done very well.

Amazing! Simply works. Big THANKS OP.
With a new & better custom TW custom ROM (Arya V4) & a reborn C.O.H.-based kernel (Forrest-Helloworld-Make), the only missing thing in our N7000 is a dual boot using the latest kernels & CWM recovery.
Wow, thanks a lot for this!
Is there a chance though that you could remove (or decrease the size) of the preload partition? A lot of us use AOSP and that doesn't even use preload so that space is wasted.
Also, I understand if I want to go back to the default partition layout I need only flash the stock pit file? just to be sure

Yes, that should be the case by flashing stock or one of my standard modded ones.
I could decrease the preload, where would you want the regained space placing?
Only thing is, it is tested at your risk, I've never played with the preload, so anything may happen, it will be out of my control.
Let me know more and confirm you are happy with the risk.

Hmmm, perhaps in the future then? Since I started flashing ROMs over a year ago I have never been able to stay on one for more than a week, but I have been running this last one for a month now so I am rather resentful to re-partitioning the device.
I also found this:
if you're running an AOSP flavor of android you can get rid of the UMS partition and the HIDDEN one (/preload). Keep in mind the sum of block size and block count of the #12 UMS partition must be exactly the number in the block size of the #13 HIDDEN partition (or the DATAFS must end on the last block of the HIDDEN partition if you're getting rid of the last two partitions).

Yup, I know about the blockcount and being careful with my sums. It's surprisingly simple to mod the the pit file using pitmagic. I think the only reason people have took to my pit files, is because I can count pretty well and use a calculator
So I can do one for you and submit the code for you to read, its pretty straight forward to read, you can then choose if you fancy trying it out.
Here is my output the pit file current hosted for n7000 users, I have highlight in red those that are changed for the hosted version, and in green I have highlighted FACTORYFS (about 800mb) which I think is your preload area, I need clarification however on that:

<<< Pit File End >>>
----------------------------------------------------------
Ok, may I request then a pit file with an increased (so that there is say ~20MB in the /preload partition AND about a 2 gig decrease in the sdcard size) data partition please? I will flash it hopefully on Saturday (I will have to make some backups and recompile Omni for myself and I haven't got much time until Saturday) and report back on how it goes
To make it clear:
/preload total size about 20MB (just in case - it's currently using 8.4MB for an unknown reason)
/storage/sdcard0 decreased by about 2GB
/data increase by 2068MB (about)
Also, I checked with "partition table" and it says the /preload partition is 503.9MB in size whereas the /system is 838.6 MB

and in green I have highlighted FACTORYFS (about 800mb) which I think is your preload area, I need clarification however on that:

Click to collapse
I think preload is the hidden.img one which is about 512
FACTORYFS is the /system.
Pit file in OP works perfectly thanks

You are taking the risk by flashing, as explained, but if it works I will add thanks and credits for your bold testing and offer the community the option to claim half a gig of space back if they have no desire to use dual boot, or indeed that they understand the need to go back to stock based preload pit files should they ever want to return to official samung firmwares
EDIT: Tested it myself, does not work! It ignores the alterations to hidden image, so maybe something blocks me changing certain area's
Thanks very much! I will test it on Saturday.
I double checked the numbers and they seem to be alright, but I have a question about the name of the file:
I9100_4GB data - 20mb preload - 10.5 internal sd - UNTESTED.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Was that just a mistype or did you accidentally base it on the i9100 pit file?

Sorry, I deleted the file, yes it was i9100!
Plus i tested it out on my i9100, the preload area's appears to be untouchable, so I reckon its blocked from alteration sadly
EDIT: I might be wrong, I think I have sorted it, on i9100 atleast, let me test it out a bit longer and I'll report back with a file for you to use in the next couple of days!
EDIT 2: Here is a shot of the result on my i9100, so I will try for you on n7000 now!
MASTER CAUTION: This will wipe ALL data on the device!! Backup your stuff before proceeding. I nor XDA is responsible for loss of your memes!
Flashing last LineageOS microG rom (18.1), I lost data on french laposte (SFR) network. Telephon calls remains, but data don't. I decided to flash last stock ROM using heimdall to avoid Windows VM on my computer.
To succeed you need some information about ROM structure and process.
Firmware versionSome versions of stock ROM are just for upgrade and it doesn't contains all files nedeed. For example, I choose French XEF firmware for SM-G900F on sammobile.com
Last version 6.0.1 G900FXXS1CQD1 (2017-05-03) doesn't contain files as hidden.img.ext4, modem.bin... I nedeed.
I chose first 6.0.1 firmware witch contains all files : G900FXXU1CPE9 (2016-05-22)
Firmware contentFor SM-G900F, firmware ZIP file contains another archive file with .tar.md5 extension. This file is a normal tar file (I don't know why .md5 is added) which contains files to be flashed as PIT partitions
Structure is as below :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Firmware extractionWe need to extract 2 levels of archive to obtain files to be flashed.
unzip firmware archive (zip file) to obtain contained archive file (.tar.md5)
untar file to obtain files to be flashed.
Spoiler: To extract files using command line
Code:
unzip -d tarfile_dir <firmware_file>.zip;
cd tarfile_dir;
mkdir flash_files && tar xC flash_files -vf <firmware_tar_file>.tar.md5;
cd flash_files;
Convert sparses filesSome files with ".img.ext4" extension are not a dump of ext4 partition. System can't mount these file at boot if we flash them as this.
These file are "Android sparse image, version: 1.0". We need to convert il in raw ext4 image file with de command simg2img.
Under Debian this command is obtained from the package "android-sdk-libsparse-utils"
Spoiler: To install android-sdk-libsparse-utils paquet using command line
Code:
sudo -i
aptitude update && aptitude -y install android-sdk-libsparse-utils;
exit;
note : sudo command wait for user password to be root.
Use command "simg2img" to convert each file with ".img.ext4" extension.
Spoiler: To convert sparse files using command line
Code:
for i in *.ext4;
do
simg2img $i ${i/ext4/raw};
done;
We are now ready to flash files into the device.
Flashing the filesObtain PIT filesWe need to know in which partition we must flash each file. print-pit operation in heimdall command allow to obtain all information.
To reduce output lines we use grep command as below :
Code:
heimdall print-pit --no-reboot | grep -A1 "Partition Name"
Spoiler: Result of filtered print-pit command

With this result we can now construct heimdall flash command.
Flash commandWe need pass each file extracted from tar archive as parameter in flash command associated to its partition name.
CAUTION : Each sparse file (.ext4) must be replaced by associated converted file (.raw)
Here, my command, but you should verify that is correct in your case.
Code:
heimdall flash --SBL1 sbl1.mbn --DBI sdi.mbn --TZ tz.mbn --RPM rpm.mbn --ABOOT aboot.mbn --BOOT boot.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --SYSTEM system.img.raw --HIDDEN hidden.img.raw --CACHE cache.img.raw --MODEM modem.bin --no-reboot
Note : --no-reboot option allows to verify and chain another command to re-flash a part (if errors or incomplete flash), but in my case device must be detected before each command. This is done unplugging and re-plugging USB device cable.
RebootTo reboot pass last command without --no-reboot option. For example :
Code:
heimdall print-pit
Firmware upgradeAll upgrade needed to obtain last version can be applied using similar method or by OTA upgrade.
Thanks for this detailed post on flashing with Heimdall. I experienced the exact problem that you mention concerning a LineageOS update breaking my mobile data (Internet). I would believe it to be the same update due to the time frame and symptoms. Everything else worked fine after the update that broke mobile data. The phone is similar to yours, but not identical. It is a Galaxy S5 G900V, using Verizon.
My first attempt with your steps failed on flashing the SYSTEM partition. I found that all of the converted .RAW images were failing. I tested just flashing the original .EXT4 files and they uploaded successfully.
After initially booting it up and going through the stock setup (connect to wireless, Google account setup, etc.), everything seemed to work OK. Unfortunately, after turning off the wireless, my mobile data (Internet browsing etc.) again failed. I did find that with the wireless turned off, the MMS messaging still works. I do not think this worked without wireless the last time I attempted to flash it back to stock.
I have been working with a few people to get this back to stock on this post if you are interested:

Were you able to get your G900F to work with mobile data without wifi after reverting to stock?
I have also been updating an additional G900V with the latest over the air LineageOS updates to see if the mobile data issue gets fixed. So far it still fails as of the most recent one released.
Thanks!
