• You will see U-Boot welcome screen menu, choose Boot Kernel
• Linux shell prompt will appear after, run switch-to-uboot command

/# ./switch-to-uboot

• Say yes to question prompt

Check that switch went fine

• Run parted

/# parted /dev/mmcblk1 print

• Output

Create new partition table

• If you plan to use only Android

parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 7168s 132168s 
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 132169s 257169s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 257170s 1257170s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 1257171s 2257171s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 2257172s 2261078s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 2261079s 15513695s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s name 1 SOS name 2 LNX name 3 APP name 4 CAC name 5 MSC name 6 UDA
parted /dev/mmcblk1 unit s print

• If you plan to use Android and Linux in multiboot

parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 7168s 132168s 
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 132169s 257169s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 257170s 1257170s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 1257171s 2257171s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 2257172s 2261078s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 2261079s 7698579s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s mkpart primary 7698580s 15513695s
parted /dev/mmcblk1 -s name 1 SOS name 2 LNX name 3 APP name 4 CAC name 5 MSC name 6 UDA name 7 UDB
parted /dev/mmcblk1 unit s print

• Format new partitions

mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p3
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p4
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p6
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk1p7

Install CWM recovery

Manual install

• Make temporary folders

/# mkdir /tmp/1
