The file is a utility script used for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 1 (mocha)
4. Technical Context & Usage
- Brick Potential: Modifying the partition table (GPT) is a low-level operation. If the process is interrupted (e.g., battery dies), or if the file is incompatible with the specific hardware revision, the device will likely suffer a Hard Brick (deadboot).
- Data Loss: This process WILL wipe all data on the device. The internal storage is reformatted to apply the new structure.
- Reversibility: Reverting to the stock partition table requires a specific backup of the original
gpt_main0.binor flashing a full Fastboot ROM that contains the original partition structure. - Incompatibility: Once repartitioned, you generally cannot flash older ROMs or official MIUI builds unless they are modified for the new partition layout.
- Boot into recovery first to ensure partitions mount.
- Verify free/used sizes for each partition (ls -lh /dev/block/by-name or via recovery UI).
- Reinstall or restore userdata and test core functions: boot, Wi‑Fi, touchscreen, sensors.
- Re-flash stock if instability or missing partitions occur.
