We need GPT so that partitions are named, which is a requirement for Android. However, the RPI's VC bootloader doesn't know about GPT, so we need a Hybrid MBR.

Start by creating a GPT partition table. You'll need a 32MB metadata partition, 10GB super partition, and then whatever you want in userdata partition.

Once this is done, use util-linux's fdisk (I have 2.33.1). If it asks whether to use GPT or MBR, select GPT Then use the command M to switch to the MBR Remove all MBR's partitions (d command multiple times for all partitions)

Then create the FAT boot partition as number 1: n 1 8192 532479 (if it asks to remove partition's formating mark, refuse) t c

Now create GPT partition, as number 2: n 2 1 8191 t ee

Then write: w For some reason, it doesn't exit here, but you can use q now
