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

Yes, the internal SD storage. The data partition is ok. I've tried 2.5, 3 and 4 GB and all show the same issue. I've tried viewing the EBR files with 'file' under Linux and except displaying that it's a boot sector it did not tell anything else. However the same is true for the MBR file, so it could be an issue with my 'file' command. If I try to read back block info with MTK Droid Tools, it should show the new values, correct?

Indeed, I just made a backup to check this and droidtools returned the exact same EBR as the ones I used for flashing.

The file command on linux doesn't do you a lot of good. For viewing files in hex, use hexdump. You can redirect the output it to a textfile which you can later compare to another one to show the differences.

btw. I just had a look at your EBR's, the new ones look quite healthy to me. MBR has no use here. I assume you did a factory restore directly after each flash?
