Hi,
I am trying to increase roofs (mtdblock7)partition from 4096Kb to 8120Kb
thank you for any help

Do you have any unused flash at this point? Typically OpenWrt is configured to use all the flash space used by the OEM firmware, so return to OEM is still possible.

Check the DTS for your hardware (which you should mention) in the git tree for the exact layout. Convert the hexadecimal upper range of the last defined partition in the DTS and compare it to the size of your flash chip. They should match. If not, you do have free space somewhere.
As per your boot log 1000000 in hex translates to 16 MiB. Is your flash chip bigger than 16 MiB? If so, then yes indeed you have unused space somewhere. If not, then OpenWrt is probably using all the space it can claim without wiping stuff you would need for normal operation.

i am currently working on GL-SF1200 router and it has 16MiB flash chip and it used all of rootfs available space so i see that cannot resize .
But i found image builder also dts. I will try to rebuild

We have 5 partitions on it
Please don't recompile, you'll brick your device. See this and more specifically the comment in the DTS after the address range? It already takes the whole range of available flash space.

I think it is correct partitioning for firmware
it will contain kernel,rootfs and rootfs_data
it is normal i think isn't it?
It already does. The first number is the start address, the second number is the range, you need to add them up.

And sorry.. i am confused how can i do this
You do not. There's no space left to claim.
