| Dec 12, 2022 at 8:18 | comment | added | alecxs | just to clarify: by edit scatter you mean calculate new size + new offset for all partitions in line of course. + pgpt must edited too, both steps are required in combination (write new partitions in new scatter + write new pgpt) imho | |

@alecxs I managed to create a full backup via mtkclient. I'm not sure what to do next. My only idea is to edit the scatter file (increase partition_sizeof super, also reduce the size of userdata) and flash the super partition again via SP Flash. Is that allowed? Also I'm not sure what to do with pgpt and sgpt. I'd greatly appreciate your advice.

@alecxs Thanks for the response. I added the excerpt to the question. I already deleted product to fit in the CAOS11 /system. I already increased /systembut only marginally via fastbootd, I don't see another way to increasing /systembut I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

"you can delete some non-essential dynamic partitions, such as the product partition" (search for lpmake) what is 'fastboot getvar partition-size:super' total size, do you really think it's necessary to shrink userdata partition?
