Would it be possible to use a replacement microSD, and set up identical partitions except for the rom partition which can be expanded to 1.5gigs, then the rest identical for the other necessities? Could be useful to have a different microSD to test on, so the factory stuff is still there.
That's what I had in mind, but the partitions are a linux format so it's a bit out of my league. Although getting all the partitions accessible via USB seems like the main priority. Is there some sort of INI/config that decides what mounts via USB?
Exactly what I was thinking. Which sadly means I'll probably be getting one of the non-SD ones I was on the fence for so long...should have just pulled the trigger when I originally wanted to.
To be fair, even if you had you'd have had a good chance of receiving a 370. Breaking the SD's encryption is the best bet anyways.
