Hi all,
I cannot create partition using ROM Manager anymore. (I could in the past). Rom Manager says it will wipe all data on the card, but after the process complete, none is wiped. All files r still there.
I've formatted the SD card. I've even tried with another SD card.
In Recovery > mounts and storage > I played around with wipe cache, & format cache. i wiped dalvik-cache. I mount & unmount cache & sdcard. I had no idea what i was doing, but i was trying every options possible before asking for help.
Please help me to partition SD card.
Thanks,
D
I have the exact same problem in this very moment actually. Trying to find a solution, will let you know if I discover one.
For me Rom Manager not worked too. Use recovery to format SD card.
If reinstalling/clearing cache didn't work, try syncing the Desire with HTC Sync 3.0, then attempt the Rom manager actions again. Worked for me.
I reinstalled ROM Manager, formatted my SD card and also did a hard-reset and cleared all caches - that did the trick for me. ClockworkMod Recovery just displayed a large triangle before I got it to work.

double check your partitions, make sure you have FAT32 + EXT3 @512mb then flash the chosen rom again, this is your best chance.
go with my rom, linked through my signature, the update will wipe the Cache + dalvik cache but keep all of you personal data and apps.

How do i check the partitions? Cant boot so can`t see them that way and haven't got card reader or anything. Im sure its got something to do with partition. Does this seem like it is causing the problem?
Any help appreciated.
bump, need help
have you wiped everything before flash?
I wiped with rom manager after downloading rom. Not sure of all the custom recovery options as rom manager usually does it all for you. Not sure if i should wipe date, cache etc, will this wipe my backups? Tried removing sd card but wont boot, not even sure how I would get another custom rom on sd card so i could flash that. I have both defrost 2.4a and opendesire aswell as a nandroid backup on my sd card but can't get these to boot either
Must be something to do with the sd card partition. Everything I try I get the message
E:Can`t mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p2(file exists)
error mounting sd/ext/!
Don't know what this means but think its causing the problem.
perhaps a bad sector on the SD?
try backing up everything on the SD, format it again & try the roms one by one to see which possible causes the issue
U need to try an alternative recovery.
Try using unrevoked, and flash and different recovery.
Sounds like the fake flash recovery u got with rom manager Isn't clearing ur partitions.

in Windows XP Disk Management, right-click the existing partition,
and click delete, that will leave the whole card as unallocated space. Then
right-click on the unallocated space, and click new partition.
edit : or install http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/sdfv2000.zip
free SD partitioner
in disk management it only shows the size as 3.18gb, I made the partition through rom manager which I think formats it in linux which windows doesn't recognise.
Taking the Sd card out gets in onto the animation screen, so a little further, but still doesn't boot. Very frustrating. \\\\\any more help appreciated.
Flash a ROM that doesn't use Apps2SD.
can you link one for me pal, ripping my hair out here, lol. By the way how do you do full wipe in custom recovery ie data, cache, is that it?
edit. Don't matter. Sorted. Copied an earlier backup of sd card onto spare sd card and did a recovery. Still need to know how to remove the partition from other sd card using windows.
This was definitely the problem and won't be using rom manager to do another partition.
If someone does know how to remove partitions using rom manager from sd card via windows then would appreciate it if you would let me know...

Full wipe can be done using the "wipe data/factory reset" option in ClockworkMod Recovery.
To get rid of the ext Partition get gparted or something like that. Normal Windows cant see ext partitions because its a Linux filesystem. You can also take a Linux live cd.
Can't you just take ROM Manager and partition your SD card again? Swap 0/Ext 0/FAT 32 All
It looks like something isnt ok with the partitions so i would recommend to delete all partitions and make them new i also had a problem once with my sd card but after deleting all partitions and repartition it everything was ok again.
Whenever I flash any rom on my gsm nexus my previous apps and info still show up on the new rom, even if I did a full wipe. Is there something wrong with my nexus?
If they're on your virtual sd card then no, nothing's wrong. CWR doesn't touch your sd card partition nor does doing a factory reset. The only way to delete everything is to format them (mounts & storage -> format /data). If you want you can format all of the partitions, however you won't be able to boot until you flash recovery and adb push your ROM's zip onto the 'sd card' and install it.
Dear Big Brother,

reflash the rom
Insert SDcard into PC via an adapter and try opening it. Windows can repair errors on the card, if it finds any. Data recovery not guaranteed though.

Do this remove sd card from your mobile and connect it on pc through adapter and check its readable if readable copy all file to your pc and format your sd card and reconnect it to your mobile and check its now readable or not.
Prior to today, I had not installed TWRP or rooted my T310 device. I believed I followed the instructions to root my device correctly (found here). Going through TWRP, I rebooted the system to install the Superuser package. I then rebooted the system, loaded up TWRP, and began to do a system wipe (followed instructions found here) to prep the flash of the rom and gapps.
I selected the following partitions to wipe: Dalvik cache, system, data and data. The instructions werent clear, so I checked both 'data' boxes.
After the wipe executed, I went to flash the rom and GAPPS I loaded to the internal sd card aaaaand... there were no .zip files. Crap. I went to reboot TWRP and it alerted me that my device does not appear to be rooted. Double crap. Not panicking, I went to mount and tried to see if I could mount the internet SD card to my device. Nothing. Windows now shows a 'Samsung_Android' device but it is listed under 'unspecified'. Reloading the drivers have done no good.
I'm guessing SuperUSer was never installed correctly *or* I did something during the reset.
I, of course, did not perform a backup prior to all of these. I have rooted my devices multiple times and it was always a breeze so why backup now? Weell...
So now I'm sitting here with a nonSU device, with no OS, no backup, and I'm unable to connect my device to Windows. Outside of loading a rom from an external SD Card, what options do I have?

You can either download the whole firmware and use Odin to flash or get adb setup and push a rom zip to the internal card using adb.

hi,
you will need a microsd card 32gb and properly formatted that comes with a card reader for your pc.
download your rom and get it onto the card, insert the card into your device
boot to twrp, and flash,
now, if twrp still spits the no os message at you, which is an issue with twrp,
you next need to go to your wipe options, select advanced and do a full data format/wipe,
NOT SYSTEM, DATA. meaning /data and /data/media. when that completes you should be sorted
but expect your initial boot of the new rom to take a little longer.
never wipe system with twrp. the rom's updater-script will manage that function.

Thank you both. I lost my SD cards and card reader in a move so while that orders, I will attempt to utilize ADB. I'm pretty green but I'm certain there are guides out there..

I'm having a hell of a time getting the rom to install from the SD card. I believe I am not formatting the card correctly. Is there a guide on how to do so? I have a primary partition in SD in FAT32 and the other partition as EXT4 but no luck. Any help is appreciated.

hi,
your external sdcard should be formatted as single partition fat32 unaligned,
if you running windows, use bootice, look it up
On linux , gparted may give you issues, if so, on debian at least there is another better utility
though the name escapes me at the moment, disk manager i think.

Well I was able to find a good stock firmware download, flashed that via Odin and I'm back to square 1. I am going to forego the external SD route. Perhaps too technical for me or some other hang up is abound but I am leaving that method alone for now. Thank you for your help : )
