hey guys im currently rooted with clockwork and well I would like to Partion my SD card to 1GB for HD roms.
Rom manager only allows 512mb I believe. I cant seem to flash amonra via unrevoked3. It stalls at waiting for root :S.... phone is already rooted with leedroid 2.2f loaded on it.
Is there any windows programs to partion SD card? like not doing it via phone?
any help very appreciated.
The easiest solution would be to download gParted live cd to boot from and then use that to partition the sd card in whatever format with whichever size you would want!

I hope I am putting this in the right place but I am getting very frustrated. Decided to bite the bullet and rooted my Desire at the weekend. As I have W7 64bit, I decided to use the Tiny Core Linux method mentioned by benko286.
I installed a Modaco ROM with A2SD+ and so far so good.
Rom Manager allowed me to install the Rom from the SD card. I then used Rom Manager to partition the SD card with a 512mb Ext3 partition and a 32mb swap partition so that I could take advantage of A2SD+.
However, when I install new programs they seem to be going to the phone memory as the space on the phone memory is going down.
I copied the Rom zip file back to the Fat32 partition on the SD card and tried to install the Rom again from scratch using Rom Manager. All I get now is a big red ? and after a few seconds the phone reboots again.
What have I done wrong?
All help gratefully received!
TIA

Hi,
I have a recently rooted and unlocked HTC Desire Telstra phone (Australia) which I will be using in Canada. I have also purchased a 16GB Class 6 SD card. If I want to install apps to the SD card, there is any advantage to partitioning it ? Can you tell me the optimal configuration or even the code I would use? Thanks, Mike
Ive been doing this same thing for the past few days, rooting and trying roms and i used Rom Manager from the market. It seems to be the easiest way to partition an sd card. You have to have ClockworkMod recovery, you just scroll down partition sd card and make a 512mb ext3 and a 0mb swap partition. From what i read these are the best sizes.
Hope this helps.
Ok, here's the thing.
I was trying to install LeeDrOiD V3.0.7 rom for my Desire and I followed the instructions.
And there was this step: "Flash This EXT 3 Alignment patch prior to flashing the ROM"
I've done all steps and I was stuck in boot screen.
But the main problem is that my phone can't mount SD card.
Before all this (two months before), I was doing step by step "Noob Proofing Everything Desire Guide" and I was doing partition of SD card using Gparted.
So I don't know if I messed up my SD card or what?
I can easily read card on my computer, but not on phone.
Can anyone help me?
same..
I have same this problem.. gparted, Leedroid and then cant mount sd card..
I cant find solution :/

HELP PLEASE:
Cant update or download new apps from market to SD card.
I can only download & update apps on internal storage and then move them to SD... But If I have app on SD I cannot update or install app.. I always get - Installation Unsuccessful
I am using Leedroid NOA2SD 2.4.1. Tried to format SD card, unmount and mount SD.. nothing helps.
Titanium Backup:
Internal: 23 MB free
SD card: 1.29 GB free
SD card (a2sd): 1.90 MB free
after flashing this fancy alignment.zip you must reboot recovery and then flash the rom.zip
try it now, if it doesnt work you must re-do your sdcard
this can be done with android, boot up into any rom and go to settings>storage>format SD card - and it will restore whole sd as FAT32 (you will lose ext3)
so you need either other android phone or other SD so you can flash any rom to your current phone.
there is also an windows aplication that can do it (restore whole SD as fat32) but i dont know its name (and it is not anything alike gparted which unfortunately cant do it)
I've used SD Formatter 3.0 and I succeded in formatting SD card.
My phone can now mount SD card again.
mac - disk utilities - repair disk - might work if its just corrupted
Hi, I format my sd card(his original size 8GB) and made a partition through cwm (1024MB).
Now I need this sd card for another use...
How I restore it to original size?
Thanks.
format
Insert the card into your laptop and then boot a Windows CD-DVD and then format, I have done so.

I just formated it using windows, when you want to use it for another android rom just format it with CWM
very useful thread. thank you
I can't access my SD card when I in android platform.
I must enter MAGLDR for this and choose USB Mass Storage.

Thanks.
anyone????
Can you use another SD in your phone? If not, probably you have a USB-brick. Take a look in the forum for how to resolve it.
I tried.Nope.
I'll read this:[USB-BRICK] All you need to know about USB-Bricks
Does this manual work with HD2 device?

Thanks.
Can't you just partition/format it using CWM? I use Amon Ra so I'm not sure about CWM. In Amon Ra, I can select a partition size of 0 for the ext partition and Amon Ra automatically partitions/formats the entire card to FAT32.

You have to partition you 8GB card in the same manner of the smaller one (sd-ext big at least the same or bigger + the same swap) if you want to use it with the old rom. You just have to put your old rom backup on the new sd card, and then from recovery do advanced restore-just sd-ext cause everything else is still on the phone.
If you want to flash a new rom, the only requirement for partitioning of the new card is requirements of the rom developer.

I don't know what recovery you use but I recommend 4ext (go to 4ext.net, download recovery updater app, install it to your phone and from app flash recovery.img).
First copy all you have on your fat32 part of sd card to your PC.
Then do a complete nand backup from recovery.
Copy backup folder (from clockwork/backup folder) and 4ext folder you made to your PC.
Copy 4ext folder from your PC to your new sd card (using card reader on your PC)
Turn off the phone and remove old sd card.
Put the new sd card into phone.
Reboot phone into recovery (power+volume down and then select recovery).
Choose tools then partition sd card and remove all and start from scratch.
Choose size and type of sd-ext I recommend 1gb ext4, skip second ext and choose size for swap if you want qnd rest of the sd card fat 32.
Let 4ext execute everything.
When it's done go to main menu and choose toogle usb storage.
Create folder clockworkmod/backup on you sd card.
Copy your nand backup folder you stored on you pc to that folder.
Choose disconnect to unmount sd card.
Choose backup/restore option.
Choose advanced restore and restore only sd-ext.
Voila, it easier to spend 30min of my time then to search a little and find everything already written.:banghead:
Thanks for your support.
