[Tutorial] How to modify your EBR and change your partitions for MTK6589T, MTK6582

[GizBeat]

The types of mods cause no fatal problems. Factory reset should retain the changes as well.

The mod is doing exactly as you've described. Designating the starting and ending points within the logical partitions.

From the link at wikipedia you provided:

If another logical partition follows, then the first EBR will contain an entry pointing to the next EBR; thus, multiple EBRs form a linked list.

That's all we're doing is changing the starting entry and exit points.

Functionally I've had no problem with this. The way NexusTrix has described it is how I do it as well. It's how thousands of MTK users have been modding their EBR for many years without issue. It's certainly not 'for eyes only'.

MT6582, its somewhat of an unknown with these mods, but the EBRs seem the same. I wouldn't be so vain as to say it's absolutely impossible there's more to the mod to make it perfect. It could also be an issue with the firmware reporting incorrect free space.
