Mini SD Card Problem

I ran the WM5 Storage method to partition a 4GB Mini SD and now it only reads as a 2gb even without the partition. Am I screwed or is this fixable? I am using a MDA G3 running XDAWM6

i would make sure it was formatted with fat32 rather then fat16

[Q] Desire only recognize limited memory

Ok so this is my problem:
I have a 16 Gig MicroSD class 6 card.
I've partitioned it with ROM manager and then manualy changed the partitions sizes, I've increased the ext3 and the swap partitions sizes with gparted.
Later on I've inserted the card back to my Device and Flashed a fresh copy of the ROM.
The device still can only see 147 Mb or free space whereas I've partitioned it to be about 1 Gig of size.
Any one knows any way to make more space on the card then ~150Mb?

Do a search on data2ext and data2sd.
Good luck.

I take it your using a normal app2sd rom, not the newer data2sd or data2ext.
where are you looking to find your stats? if its in settings/sd & phone storage these wont show the amount of the app2sd partition, but they will show the amount of a data2sd or data2ext partition, because the latter two fools the phone in to thinking its internal storage, the former just moves parts of an app to the ext partition on the sd card so isnt classed as internal storage.
If you download an app from the market called quick system info it will show you the size of your app2sd partition to see if its worked

How do i go about using a new card?

I'm running baadnews hd rom with a 512mb ext partition, i have now got a new 8gb card, obviously i cant just swap cards so how do i go about setting up the new card so that i can use it in my phone??
And is there a tool that will allow me to set up a 1gb partition?

I used gparted to partition my SD card. Make sure you put the partitions in order of storage, ext and swap

[Q] New MicroSD Card - Quick Help Needed

I bought myself a new 8gb MicroSD card to replace the 4gb card I currently have. My rom uses the a2sd ext partition.
Is there anything I need to before I can change cards? I'm guessing i need to partition the new card, do I need to copy the files from the old ext partition to the new one? Or would it just be better to partition and then do a full wipe on my phone?
Cheers

ext partition is usually used if you want extend your internal memory like using link2sd or other tools.
i don't think it's necessary with our phone, because it has 1g+ internal. you can simply move the apps to sdcard to free some internal mem.
CWM if i'm not wrong, by default creates ext3 partition.

thanks 4 ur explaination...
