Prestigio MultiPhone 5430 and nonexistant boot/recovery partitions I've got the Prestigio MultiPhone 5430. It's built on Intel Medfield platform. The phone isn't popular as it was released about 6-7 months ago.

Because (as far as I know) nobody before me has tried to hack into it, I'm seriously interested in getting this model's recovery and bootloader partition to have any modding start-point. I've already searched for any clues in init.xxxx.rc, xxxx.fstab and in /proc partition, however that research yielded nothing.

What I already know is:


The DROIDBOOT is locked and doesn't accept any fastboot commands besides some basic info commands like version and one oem erase. I'm trying to guess possible commands.
I'm not sure about the partition layout, devices are identified like mmcblkX and mmcblkXpY where X is device number and Y is partition number.
The recovery seems like it's a really limited CWM recovery; allows only to install updates from ZIP and reboot, but does not allow backing up whole filesystem.
Another way to flash bootloader is to use Intel SoC Manufacturing Tool and Medfield board drivers I got from Intel support (they actually responded and even provided some useful usage info), but then, I would have to get a bulk-upgrade file, like .KDZ for LG.


The partition layout in FSTAB file is:

/reserved hidden /dev/block/mmcblk0_none none size_hint=164
/panic    raw    /dev/block/mmcblk0p1    none size_hint=8
/factory  ext4   /dev/block/mmcblk0p2    none size_hint=32
/config   ext4   /dev/block/mmcblk0p3    none size_hint=16  ro
[then nothing helpful: media - mmcblk0p5, cache - mmcblk0p6]
/logs     ext4   /dev/block/mmcblk0p7    none size_hint=16  ro
[and then nothing really interesting, down to mmcblk0p9, then sdcard begins]


It's interesting that mmcblk0_none doesn't exist in /dev/block, at least at runtime. Another interesting fact is that some parts of init.rc were copied straight from Acer Liquid C1, as far as I can deduce from comment left-overs.

Is it possible the system is hiding some partitions from me? If so, how can I reveal them? Can I get service documentation for this Prestigio model anywhere? Has anyone done any research on this before? 

I'd really appreciate pointing me into the correct direction, because I'm in dead-end of this research for about a week already.

Oh, and I already tried asking Prestigio support. They didn't answer (such a surprise!).
While I am not nearly as well up as you, I haven't seen any replies and this might be of interest - if not to you then to others looking for info on Prestigios. 

I have a Prestigio PAP 4500 Duo which bricked itself spontaneously on New Year's Eve, sleeping the sleep of death. It's under guarantee so all I was looking for was a possible reboot mechanism. I happened upon this menu which seems to offer lots more than you described. Now I couldn't navigate the menu, but that may be because of a fault, but the menu is there to be accessed.

Thanks for your info and hope this adds a little,

MJF
