HOW TO INCREASE PRIMARY PARTITION (INTERNAL STORAGE) ON AN MTK ANDROID

HOW TO INCREASE PRIMARY PARTITION (INTERNAL STORAGE) ON AN MTK ANDROID

So you are looking at the specifications of your phone and see 8GB internal memory. You then slot in your 8GB memory and expect to have 16GB in all, only for your internal memory to show 2GB! Have you been scammed? No. Where then did the 6GB go? That's the underlined question behind the tweak in this tutorial.
  How the 8GB (2GB and 6GB) in question is shared is decided by two files (EBR1 and EBR2) . The 2GB in this case, is the internal storage (where apps will get installed to) while the 6GB is the phone storage (acts as memory card when you don't have one). Once a memory card is inserted, the phone storage becomes dormant, what a waste!
Wouldn't it be nice to use 7.5GB for internal storage and 0.5GB for phone storage? Let's take a look at how you can do this by tweaking the EBR 1 and EBR2 files.


How to modify your ebr in a mediatek backup rom

How to modify your ebr in a mediatek device is easy and straight forward. Ebr files store your storage partition in your mediatek device. Ebr separates the internal storage where applications are installed and the usb storage for other files like user data, music, documents, etc.
* To extract EBR files, make an MTK backup of the phone using the guide MTK Droid tools &  SP Flash Tool.

 Step 1: Extract EBR1 and EBR2
1. Download PdaNet
2. Download MTK Droid tools
3. Enable USB debugging on the phone and connect it to PC
4. While the phone is connected to PC, install PdaNet on your PC

8. Click root at the bottom
9. Select Yes to any prompt on PC and Grant to any on the phone
10. Wait till the box turns green
11. When the box turns green, click on the root, backup, recovery tab
12. Click on Backup and wait till it completes.
13. When backup is complete, open the backup folder inside the MTK folder
14. Inside the backup folder, you'll see a folder named after your phone model. inside it will be your EBR1 and EBR2 files .

 Where is Ebr found?



Ebr files are found in a stock backup rom using droidtools. It is usually found under your backup folder. Something like mtkdroidtools\backup\device name\ifiles_folder.
