Hi Bob, nice to meet you. Is there a way to repartition without using a connected PC? If not, and if I must use the rkbatchtool from Linux, when I do that (I haven't figured at all out yet how even to do that), would that destroy the installed CWM loader, recovery loader, boot loader, pre boot loader, whatever the heck it is?
On Linux, I'd normally expect that if I repartition all the partitions, nothing is left after that, except maybe the MBR. However, one could free the bottom partitions, and then re-add the partitions with a different size, leaving the top partition(s) in place. Normal fdisk type of stuff.
Using rkbatchtool, is it kind of the same? Could one have CWM on it, repartition without touching the top partition (boot partition?), and then boot into recovery, then ready to accept the new ROM?
I have the feeling that a few light bulbs will be going off on my end...
Alternatively, could an App exist that repartitions without touching CWM, after which of course it'd have to reboot right away, because it'd have literally nuked the entire environment from underneath itself...?
