I used the "D" and "E" value calculations from the second page, and it worked for me.
It works, but I had a few questions which I would appreciate help with to fully understand the process
1. I tried first using asterx's excel spreadsheet - but couldn't figure out the correct hex offsets for the user partition start and length. What is the right hex offset?
2. Why doesn't the Blocks Map in MTK Droid Tools reflect the updated partition layouts? As show in the attachment, the "Free space" is correct, but the block map reflects the old layout! (1.2gb userdata, 12gb phone storage (FAT))

Every byte has its meaning, and changing a specific one (for example the partition size) has an impact on one or more other bytes which also must reflect the new change (for example the end offset of the partition which size is beeing changed, and start offset of the next partition, if there is one).
I'm starting to believe that partition size mods are for eyes only. Sooner or later there could be a fatal problem. I just don't know what the factory format does after applying this mods? Does it retain the partition size and fix other values/bytes automaticaly? Because if it's not doing that, it could be the reason for the [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] one of our forum members have.
Any thoughts about that? Oppinions? Theories?

How do you mean about this? You wrote in #3 - sooner or later.....
O.K. I flashed about 10-12 SmartPhones with this option. All Phones works and the dumchar etc. shows the right sizes.
Your EBRTweak is great. I use this every Time. Thanks.
I'm waiting of your answer.
Greetings

Hi,
you are 100% right
the size is too large and I reduce it to 5 GB and after that the error did not come back telling my SD card is damage. now i have 5.66GB total space for internal storage and 24.03 GB for phone storage. thank you so much. but i hope next time there will be no more phone storage. hope the whole storage will be used so anyone will not have trouble updating their applications.
just copy and paste what i wrote in another thread with little editing..
i have ulefone with 1GB (or.. 0.95) app storage with kitkat
i used this EBRtweak and after a few days i got 'Damaged phone storage message'.
after checking the script code and reading again the manual
i understood there is a BUG in the code for my phone and i guess to more phones.
the script does not do exactly as say about increase and decrease values!
Quote:In EBR1, one value is modified. In EBR2, two values are modified. For every increase in EBR1, we must make a decrease in the first value of EBR2 and an increase in the second value of EBR2.
so who get this kind of error message should do exactly as the Tutorial above.
or download the fix i made for EBRtweak, source code also uploaded

I only have scatter file and droidtool backups.
So any idea how to proceed?
