Flashing factory image fails

[klorinczi]

Flashing factory image (Odin format patched with DualBootPatcher 9.3.0.r957) to extsd-slot-n9005 fails.

I unzipped the archive, then selected the .tar.md5 file in Patcher under Windows.

Attaching logs.

Shoot, I don't know if I can do very much about this. The stock boot.img + mbtool is too big to fit:

1251 [1970-10-13T22:47:08.589615000+03:00][245:245][E] m/r/installer: Failed to copy /multiboot/boot.img to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot: No space left on device

Can you try this test build? (from #1400) https://jenkins.noobdev.io/job/DualBootPatcher_Build/1155/

Not sure if it'll help, but it'll use the maximum gzip/lz4/lzma/xz compression level for the ramdisk.

Unfortunately failed again with r961.

@chenxiaolong
The boot partition size is 11MB on hlte phone.
What is packed in addition to the original boot content?

I remember that boot managers on PC work this way: The MBR size is limited thus the bigger program parts of the boot manager is stored on a separate partition of the hdd.

Couldn't be possible to place some program parts outside of the boot partition on internal storage, for example to the /sdcard/multiboot?
