Linux/ext3 SD card partition issues. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all I am hoping someone has a little experience with Linux and can give me a helping hand. Today I bought a new Samsung 8gb class 6 Micro SD card and I want to transfer the data from my ext3 partition on my class 4 to my class 6.
I have nothing on the class 6, I have installed Linux to a USB stick and I have formatted the SD drive with a 512mb 0 swap ext3 partition however, it won't give me any access to the partition it's self. I was thinking I could just use Ubuntu to go in, partition (yes I know I can use ROM Manager ) take the card out, and put in the old one copy and paste the ext3 partition to the desktop and just drag and drop back. But it doesn't seem to be the case.
I am gettin some write/read errors or something of the sort, it's driving me up the wall. I could spend all night trying to read through Linux code to try to work out how to do it, so I thought I'd see if someone knew off the top of their head or knew of a better/easier way for me to swap data from one partition to another, I can't seem to find a useful thread on it searching the forums either.
Does anyone have any ideas, or an easier solution?

I'm also having a problem with this. Any suggestions?

you could do a nandroid backup with your old card, partition your new sd card, copy the backup to the fat partiton on your new card, then use the advanced restore option to restore the ext to the new sd card (if that makes sence) lol

I might give that a go, I never did find an answer to my post.
I've given the shiny new fast SD card to the girlfriend now as well as I really didn't want to hard reset the phone and start over, own goal. I might see if I can pinch it back and put it in mine, it's not like she needs a class 6 for a Wildfire. ^_^

I quite like the little phone, it shouldn't come with Sense though, it kills it. I've put LauncherPro on it and it flys for what she uses it for, facebook, e-mails, Twitter and all that. Shame the 768Mhz overclock isn't stable enough to run 24/7.

Ext partition with Evo

So i know on my magic i always had a Swap partition, EXT, and fat32...
Seems like when i got my Evo, the SD card only had a fat32 and no EXT.
When installing custom roms, Should i just go ahead and reformat the card with EXT or do we not need it on the Evo. From what i know of the EXT partition and working with my magic for so long, i would assume it still needs to be there but it was just odd that it wasn't there from the factory when i got my phone.
TIA
IMO, a2sd isn't necessary on this one
I have almost 60 apps installed (including the behemoth Google Earth), yes I know how ridiculous that is, and I still have over 200MB internal storage free.
The EXT2/3 and Swap partitions didn't come stock on your Magic, either.
It's up to you. Like nebenezer said, it's really not necessary on this device. The only reason I'm running a2sd is so that I don't have to mess around with reinstalling all my apps when testing out new ROMs. That's really the only reason at this point why a2sd would be an advantage. In fact, unless you're using a class 6 SD card (which the provided card is not), it actually probably slows down the phone a bit when launching applications.
Ahhh.. So EXT is pretty much only for A2SD? Thought there was some other info on there...
And i know what swap is..
Cool. THX

pretty much, you can move dalvik to sd and I think data/data too but like CentroniX said unless you have a c6 or greater card your better off skipping a2sd on this phone.
Not having to reinstall your apps is convenient but when I flash a new rom I wipe EVERYTHING anyways. I always like to start with a clean flash so if there are any problems I know its not one of my apps. Plus titanium backup makes it very easy to restore everything.

New SD Card

I am changing from the 4gb sd card that came with my desire to a 16 gb one.
How do i get all my data from the old sd card to my new ?
Thank you in advance

connect the phone in "Disc Mode" copy all your data onto your computer, disconnect, change memory card to the new one, and copy and paste to the 16 gig.
Sorry I don't know any way of moving you games or apps when changing an SD card
hope this helps! good luck!
Wow, is it that easy, thanks a lot! Can someone help me about the games/apps ?
sorry to dig up this topic, but since I searched for it, here goes:
Same issue, I am changing from 8GB Micro SD to a 16GB micro SD, the catch: I am using A2SD+ and my previous 8GB has ext3 partition, so do I simply backup, change card and copy back the files or do I need to partition the new 16GB card like I did the old one, and then copy my backup?
if you want to save your ext as well, then this is best done via amon-ra recovery.
do a nandroid + ext backup of your rom with your old sd card.
put in a new sd card, formatted with ext, restore nandroid + ext then your rom and ext will be fine.
As for the fat you will have to copy as outlined above (via a pc).

isnt it that the the nandroid backup will be stored in the SD? if so then after I do a nandroid backup, place the new blank SD and do a nandroid restore, then if it looks for any backup, then it wouldnt find anything because the old card isnt there?
sorry i suck at this...

The folder "clockworkmod" stores the Nand backups. You need to copy this to the root of your new sd card. This will be detected by Clockworkmod automatically

This is what I did them I got a new card, I had this in another post so just cut and pasted, my solution to moving to a new card. Bering a new member I can't post the link in here, but here is the copy of it here.
My setup, 2GB no class listed MicroSD, HTC Desire, Rooted with MoDaCo r9, with A2SD. All of my apps are on the MicroSD pretty much.
Well the MicroSD came in and I did what I know how to do, I used a cloning program that I use all the time for PCs, figured what the hell it should work.
- I plugged both of the MicoSDs using the SD adapter, then plugged the SD adapter into an SD to USB adapter and plugged them into the PC.
- I used Acronis True Image 2010 Acronis True Image , did an exact clone (called "Disk Clone" in the Acronis software), from my 2GB MicroSD to the 16GB MicroSD. Did NOT adjust any partitions or anything, had 14GB of free unused, unpartitioned space on the new card.
- Then I took the new 16GB MicroSD and plugged it back into my phone, booted, and it worked great, the phone can't even tell that it's a new MicroSD, shows same sizes and everything, as I didn't adjust any partition sizes yet.
- Then I took the MicroSD back out, plugged it back into the PC, then used another product of Acronis, called Disk Director Disk Director and then went in and expanded/resized the FAT partition to the full size, it used the free unused space to do that, and moved the partitions down the line and expands the FAT one in place.
- Plugged the card back into my phone, booted, worked great, got 15 GB plus of space now on the FAT partition. All the apps works, everything works great. It seems a little snappier and faster when loading apps now.
Side notes:
I just happened to have both of these products installed on my PC and use them all the time so that's what I used, but any Disk Cloning program that supports USB will work.
There is plenty of other "cloning" programs out there, like Norton Ghost - not free, some other pais ones. But also bunch free ones as well a list of them here , wiki list of them as well. Some of these programs are LiveCDs, which means you boot your PC of a CD and then you can edit HDs, also the USB Drives, other like Acronis will have a PC program as well a boot disk. With acorns I was able to use it just as a program no booting of a CD.
I personally have used this program called "hdclone" which is free, it has one limitations but it really is not a big deal in this case, it limits the copying to 1 GB per minute, hell for 16GB card thats 16 minutes !!! so not a limitation really. So do a exact clone using HDclone, don't resize the new SD just leave it as is, this worked for me, I think leaves everything exact as possible. Another free cloning program I have used in the past is DriveImage XML , so either of these will work to clone one SD to another. Now to resize, the product I use ALL the time to resize drives is "gparted", this one is a boot CD, so all you gotta do, plug in your SD card using the USB, boot of this small GParted CD, select your drive and then expand the FAT partition. Few extra steps with some free products but it works if you're not able to acquire Acronis.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions or problems. Sorry for the long write up but haven't seen anybody describe doing this plus some people aren't as familiar with cloning HDs as others.
Help!
I just went in to recovery mode with CWM and did a Nandroid back up. Everything seemed to go well. Then i selected Reboot and now the phone is looping with the White HTC sreen and nothing else....... what should I do to fix it?

It's a known issue with Clockworkmod. Go back into Clockworkmod once again and restore the backup you just made. All will be well.

what can i say? very detailed!
the only problem is that, I had to download Acronis product demos before I can do all these. I do imaging before but I dont resize EXT partitions...
ANyway Im still downloading..
Although I think it would help if anybody can post free and lighter (below 50MB, I guess) of softwares that can do USB cloning (disk cloning in general),..
I will post here my results..
HDclone is pretty small program and it should do the job.

So far, this worked for me.
1. Backed-up my old 8GB card on my PC (the FAT partition).
2. Did Nandroid + Titanium Back up. (The Nandroid will backup the EXT partition)
3. Formatted the new 16GB with FAT32 on my PC
4. Resized the 15.++ GB of FAT32 to 14.XX GB so that the 1GB goes to the EXT3- I did this via a bootable GPARTED CD I got here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
5. Copied the Clockwork MOD folder from my PC backup (see step 1) to my new 16GB card.
6. Inserted the new 16GB to my phone and booted into ClockworkMOD recovery
7. Did a NANDROID Restore.
8. After restore, I had to shut off my mobile and I removed the card coz I needed to copy back the whole FAT partition backup from step 1 to the new card.
9. Placed the new 16GB back and voila!
(NOTE: steps can be interchanged,for example, I think the copying of the FAT partition done in step 8 can be done after step 3 above.
Anyways, hope it helped.

My experience root and flash : Leedroid 2.3c amazing

Finally after lots of deliberating I rooted my desire and flashed with Leedroid 2.3c.
It is such an easy process and took less than 2 hours including restoring backup apps.
A2sd+ works like a dream and setcpu has appeared to increase my battery life by about 60%.
Best thing is I am no longer facing that stupid low space notification and I have retained use of HTC sense.
I urge all HTC Desire owners who constantly battle with that low space notification to root and flash.

Exactly what i was thinking of doing! how do you partition your SD card?
Yes done this not so long ago, its what the phone should of been like out the box. loving A2SD+ works great, setcpu only just installed it today. am also using LeeDroid superb rom.
I found the easy way was through windows insert your sd card into your PC and download and install EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition, you can get this from download.com. hope this helps

I've been thinking about doing this myself for quite some time now. After your post here, I might finally give it a go in a few hours... after midnight is best for such things
After doing this, do you still lose access to all apps on SD while connected via USB to your laptop? Or is this issue gone due to SD card partitioning? I would like to force-move quite a lot of stuff onto my class 10 Kingston
You will lose everythink sadly, make sure befor you format you backup your photos,vids,contacts stuff like that. apps you have paid for from market can be downloaded again without paying.

ext3 best? and also can you set any size?
will the ROM automatically use the ext3 partition when it runs out of space?
I use ext3 am not sure witch is better tho I just went with that. the rom use the partition all the time, like befor I rooted and installed a custom rom my memory was always low, now I have over 100 apps and still have 63MB and 800MB ext3.
I wouldn't go over 1.5GB well thats what Ive been told and read, I just done mine to 1GB 1024mb=1GB

It won't work on Windows Professional machines, which is a bummer as it's a great tool.
I use an Ubuntu Live USB boot and use Gparted. Also lets you easily mess with Windows partitions in ways that make Microsoft feel violated
Also gives you a nice little portable OS and since they made an installer to easily create a persistent state Live USB, it's just a handy tool to carry with you if you fiddle with PCs alot.
Well, it seems like I have to drop this issue for now; I've been trying for more than two hours and I did not succeed using unrevoked 3.3 on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, Ubuntu 10.4 and Windows 7 x64. I followed all steps, but it only killed some apps on my SD, nothing more.

No. The main difference between a2sd+ script and froyo's apps2sd is that froyo uses fat32 partition to store apps which have been coded accordingly. The script moves all the apps to the EXT partition which does not need to be mounted nor unmounted for it to be accessed by the PC, therefore it won't interfere with your apps in any way any longer.
Reporting in; I just flashed a ROM onto my HTC Desire for the very first time. Currently running device setup connecting to Wi-Fi. Thank you for convincing me!

Titanium Back & 16Gb memory card

This is an ongoing problem for me and it's definitely not ROM related, but it makes flashing ROM's difficult, in fact downright awkward!
When installing apps from TB it will get through a couple then reboot, at which point nothing will install until I repair my ext partition (Thank God for AmonRA!). Then it will do the same thing again. It will do the same thing with installing apps from the market too, but it's not so pronounced as I don't tend to install loads of apps at once especially as I've got TB.
I found that TB worked fine with CM7 as it didn't install to the ext partition until I flashed DarkTremors aps2sd, and that worked fine as a way round the problem.
None of this happened until I upgraded my 8Gb to 16Gb sd card. The card seems fine in every respect, just the problem with installing aps :-(
Anyone with any ideas?
My previous thread on disabling aps2sd has not proved fruitful either.
David
Before I upgraded my pathetic 2gb I done a little research and the word on the street was the hero couldn't handle more than 8gb, recommended by HTC apparently!
Whether this was due to the limitations of the rom(1.6 at the time) or the hardware I don't know.
Have you tried re-formatting your SD card and making sure the ext partion is compatible with the rom your using?

Yeah I've reformatted and reformatted, initially I thought that the problem mgiht have been the backup files had become corrupt when transfering them over ... and yes I've tried ext2 ext3 and ext4 all with the same results (the only rom i tried which wasn't compatible with ext4 was Cronos).
Maybe its true about 8gb being the limit the hero can handle, maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
I'm sure I've seen some on here using 16Gb cards, but it would be good to know, maybe I should change to the Froyo aps2sd?
Maybe you could try doing a nandroid backup, and trying a different rom to see if it works, if not you could have a faulty SD card???
I a, using a 16 Gb card without problems, I always do a full wipe of my phone and a format of my card before flashing a new Rom. I use the aps2sc within the rom and make sure that the settings are right (install to external) before I use titanium.
I am on elelinux 6.2.0

The max htc Hero should handle would be 32gb I believe. According to link 1, htc hero supports SD 2.0. While SD 2.0 is also called SDHC, which according to link 2 its max is 32gb
Maybe you should try to pull /proc/last_kmsg to see why it rebooted? (post it at pastebin.org, and place url here. Maybe we can understand it )

Yeah I'm really confused as those were my settings also and I tried in on Elelinux 6.2 ... I think it must be either my Hero had a bad day it was born or the sd card did, but it always comes up clean when scanned.

16gb card here, use TB all the time and nadroid as well and never had a problem. Maybe your card has some faulty sectors. Try to copy 16gb on it on the PC and copy it back to your pc after you've made sure nothing was cached. Or try scandisk to see if a part of the flash is broken, maybe.
Using a cheap ebay-bought Team 16GB Class6 with TB, flashing and nandroids. No issues whatsoever. Works great!
I've scanned the disk multiple times, not tried a full 16gb transfer ... and I'll get the log output in a minute or two

Thanks in advance!
Edit: It got to installing around 15apps this time before crashing. It varies as to when it dies, but it will. I even considered that it was overheating, or due to OC'ing, but it does the same thing regardless of temp or CPU speed
i also use 16gb sd card for 3 or 4 months and nothing ever happens like that. everything works perfect...
Have a feeling that it's corrupt, as I have a new problem with installing anything, I now get told there's not enough room to install or updates apps ... when there's plenty ... arrrgggg!
if 16gb isn't working for you, send the card to me. I have a working 2gb you can have instead.

Haha that's really funny.
Actually I ran some scans, fsck's and reformats with repair options, and if it wasn't for the reboot issue and instability issues I have with Elelinux 7.0.3 then I'm sure I've got it fixed... I hope ...

Bought a new SD card, what do I have to move across?

I just upgraded from an 8GB Class 4 MicroSD card to a Memorette 32GB Class 10 card (got it for like £25 on ebay ). I want to move everything on my SD across so I don't have to re-install etc...
I'm not so much worried about my apps, but what other data is on my SD? Is there stuff to do with my root, ROM or anything on there? I see a lot of folders on my current SD which seem to be related to the OS (not things I have created).
Is everything held on the phone, or do I need to clone the card for it to work straight away?
A lot of apps and games use memory card to hold stuff in seemingly random places, just move the lot to be safe.
Do you have an ext partition on your sdcard? If so perform a nandroid backup then copy the entire memory card over then nand restore and your done.
If you want to start again from fresh you will lose any apps saved on sdcard and some data from some apps, probably nothing important like cache from maps. It wont affect your system or root or anything though.
I'm actually not sure what I have. I literally have rooted it, installed Oxygen, installed the custom HBOOT and that is it. I haven't touched partitioning or format type.
What is the default?

If you haven't touched partition or anything your card is default!!
I would copy everything onto PC (backup is always recommended) and then copy onto your new card.... should just work from what you have said ?!

Ah, OK, if it's that easy then... awesome
I didn't know if Oxygen formatted it some special way. Good to know. Is a Class 10 going to make any difference at all. I was going to buy a normal 32gb card, but this class 10 one about £5-£10 cheaper than big brand Class4/6 ones.
Trader has good feedback, I just hope it's a good card...
Balls, I have looked around and it seems these 32GB Memorette cards are hacked and will corrupt data passed 2GB... cancel time.
