GPTUPGRADE payloads is a modified version of GPTRestore, specifically designed to rewrite the eMMC with partition information more conveniently.

Note: Use at your own risk. Using another eMMC size will probably get you banned. If you plan on using this, be sure to back everything up first.

User guide

The tool offers different versions of the payloads:

  • 16 GB (for downgrade - might have geometry wrong on this version)
  • 64 GB
  • 128 GB
  • 256 GB

Once you have rewritten your GPT using these files, restore your INDIVIDUAL partitions and BOOT0 /1 in Hekate.

You may have to do it manually for the USER partition in hacdiskmount, to copy your stuff over. This means you will need a rawnand of OLD EMMC to mount your old USER partition (unless you are starting from scratch).

After using these files, in your new eMMC:

  • Use BIS key 3 and mount USER in hacdiskmount.
  • It will probably say it "needs to be formatted". Format it.

It is now formatted using correct key. Mount your newly formatted USER partition and copy your stuff from your old partition over.

That should be it. Upgrade should be done.
