Please help me.
I can ' t partition my sd card . I ' m using CM 6.1 . I have tried
several methods, both ROM Manager and AppsToSd apps don ' t
do nothing when trying to perform the partitioning , after
requested reboot everything' s the same . Adb didn ' t work either ,
says not found . I even wiped and reflashed the Rom . What could
be wrong?
What do you mean 'everything is the same'? You can't see the ext partition, especially with windows and your phone won't list it anywhere.

Yes. I have flashed a2sd add on and when I try to enable it, both with adb or terminal, it says ext partition is not mounted.
Btw when attempting to partition with ROM Manager it assures that everything on sd will be erased but after a reboot, all the files are still on sd, nothing erased.
Well what I would suggest is using a program on your computer to partition the sdcard (pull the card out and put it in your pc) you don't have to pull it out and put it in your computer but it's a lot quicker. I can't remember what I used so you'll need to google it or search 'create ext partition' on here.
After that, install the package and run the commands, you should be set after that.
Ok I found Acroinis Disk Director Suite on my laptop and with its help deleted fat32 partition, created ext3 of 509 Mbs and linux swap about 40 mbs and finally fat 32 of the rest of a card ( it also creates an emprty piece of about 7,8 megabites that can't be added to any partition). BTw I don't know why but the card isn't recognized by windows in card reader anymore, only when usb disk drive mode. And it can't load update.zip when attempting to get to clockwork recovery ( I restored this file after partitioning). And when typing su cd /system/bin/ sh a2sd reinstall or a2sd cachesd in terminal or adb, in the end it says no ext partition mounted wtf? And btw built in function to format card does this: formats card deleting all partitions and creates a fat32 partition of about 7.4 gbs. I'm so confused... Maybe my card is screwed? I don't know , I spent much time trying to get this working, but nothing helps.

ok.. here is how i did it and it was extremely easy.. assuming you have adb working since you are rooted and you have to do that with adb.. then, put your sdcard back in your computer, back up everything and just format the whole thing to FAT32 using that program you say you used... then put the clockwork update.zip back is your sd card (if you think your update.zip might be corrupted or something use this one and rename it to update) along with this other file just in case..http://www.mediafire.com/?bli1zubj8otlo00
then go into recovery and then into clockwork right? now here comes the adb part, plug in your phone and open the command prompt, type adb shell press enter, now type sdparted and press enter and you should get instructions now... if nothing happens when you type sdparted flash the just in case file in recovery BEFORE plugin the usb to the phone, after this do the adb part again.. follow instructions and you will be good to go

Sounds like he's not using correct syntax.
CD to your androidsdk\tools folder in command prompt, then type adb shell and THEN do the commands that he told you to do.
I think he was just typing adb sdparted which doesn't work.
edit: Nevermind, my bad, I'm dumb and didn't read the post through thoroughly, you already told him to do adb shell and it didn't work.

Yeah but might be right. I've set up enviromental variables in my pc so I can run adb whenever and wherever I want without changing the dir. to the sdk one.. but let's assume he knows how to adb since he is rooted n_n
Perhaps you could tell us how you partitioned your sdcard?? Maybe he can do it that way.. who knows..

pretty much.. just open terminal emulator app, type su and press enter, allow superuser permissions, then type a2sd cachesd and press enter, wait for the whole thing to finish and then reboot.. it should take a while depending on how many apps you have so dont freak out if it takes longer than usual... when it loads up you should have your data space back. then what i like to do is run fix permissions from rom manager as well, it helps avoiding force closes and such. good luck

Don't forget he needs to download and flash the a2sd activator from clockwork. The zip file is in a thread (in the dev section for our phone), just DL it and follow the instructions in the post.

In order to use apps2ext you have to flash the activator zip. If you're using CM 6.1 you don't need a custom boot.img so don't worry about that.
1. Partition you sdcard with an ext2 or ext ext3 partition
2. DL the activator zip and flash it in clockwork
3. Boot
4. Use the terminal emulator and type the commands *see bottom
5. It will reboot (may take a while)
6. Done
Code:
su [enter]
cd /system/bin/ [enter]
sh a2sd cachesd [enter]

Did you move your apps to the sdcard? You might check them to make sure they're not still installed to the phone.
Also, 100MB sounds about right. That's what I have and I delete useless stuff (useless to me) so my ROM is smaller.

Adb didn't work either, says not found. I even wiped and reflashed the Rom. What could be wrong? I know it's not the same issue but related, so not to create a separate thread.

Well you do have 500MB but it won't show up anywhere. The ext partition can't be read by windows and your phone won't list it under the storage menu. I'm sure there's an app (Titanium backup) that will list your ext and show you used/free memory if you want to check to make sure it's there. Also you can type:
Code:
su
cd /system/bin/
a2sd sysinfo
or
a2sd diskspace (I think)
That will show you your ext size.

the 100 is the space left on THE PHONE not the sdcard, since the ext is mounted but not exactly as it should then that space (the 500mb) is not showned there, just the space you have left in you /data partition (in the phone).
Looking at the space left it looks like you did it right and your apps are going to your ext partition so dont worry about it anymore
Hello,
I have a PVT4 Desire with erasezize 40000
I am rootes and s-off
Recovery : Clockworkmod Alpharev Recovery 2.5.1.8
After i switch from Starburst Rom to a normal apps2sd+ rom, i got this:
E: Can´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
Error everytime in Recovery.
This error comes before i have to confirm the wipe of the dalvik cache.
I unrooted the phone with a official RUU and rooted it again and did s-off again,
but the error still exists.
Stock Rom is working, recovery is working, but i am afraid of flashing a new rom
Please help
Thank you
Do you still have the ext partition? I believe this is the error that you get when there is no ext partition.
no, i don´t have a ext partition, because it is a rooted stock rom running now without apps2sd+
its a new sdcard fat 32
do you mean if i create a new ext partition on the sd card, the error disappers ??
Yes but i don't know if there is any point in doing that.
ok, i created a new ext 3 partition on the sd card, but the error still exists
I found the exact error in a different thread here.
They managed to solve it
dunno if its of ne help....but i had the same prob of "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcbld0p2 (file exists)" with my HTC Desire with cynogen recovery mod and leedroid.
phone was getting stuck at boot screen. only recovery was working. i unmounted the SD card, deleted the ext3 partition through Disk Management in windows and mounted the card again. Now, android booted (but without A2SD) i downloaded ROM Manager and used the option "partition SD card" and like a miracle, the phone rebooted, partitioned my SD card, and rebooted back to android (this time WITH A2SD working!!!)
hope it gets as easy as this for u guys as well.
(P.S. : before A2SD, my internal space showed 92.4 mb, after A2SD started functioning, internal memory showed 130.2 mb)
PVT4 Desire's can't use CWM - they have to use AmonRA as highlighted in the stickied at the top of the General thread
stuck in bootloop, with same error in recovery
i have somehow managed to screw the device, it wont boot stuck at htc white screen, id really appreciate if you could help, i cant manage to get adb setup on my computer to list the connected devices maybe the driver issues
what i did to get into this was this:
1.i was using a custom rom from Auraxtsense 8.3 with Amon.RA recovery
2.i got into Rom Manager n install clockworkmod recovery just out of curiosity, the next reboot i was stuck on the htc screen
3.i can get into recovery n stuff, but i cannot mount my SD card, ive somehow managed to get my data out of the card by using it from another phone
steps tried:
1.i tried to go into fastboot n use a RUU to flash it but i got a Error 171 usb connection error
2.tried using Android fastboot commander but it fails to flash any type of file
i cannot understand the right process to go about things please help me, even if i can setup adb with the right drivers, access it from hboot or so push files make it stock then root n stuff again
formatted the sdcard totally to fat32 also n then tried via recovery to partition n all no luck

Code:
3. Get flash_image from the attached files below
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.
i got the 2 files on my sdcard, im rooted but S-ON, i tried the 3 commands
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
chmod u+x /data/flash_image
in terminal emulator on phone, but when i press enter jus shows # again
then tried /data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
says illegal instruction or somethin as an error
can you help me if im doin this rite? i browsed the /data/ folder via a ESFile Browser it seemed to be empty

plus i see that it means that ineternal partitions are somehow messed up, but i only get this error with one of my sd cards.. my old one works fine. so surely it is a sd card problem,
i have so far tried partitoning with cwm recovery, in windows, using gparted and no luck.. as anyone found a definate solution yet?!

hey i had this problem a few weeks back
refer this thread just to get the update.zip file
1.format your SD card to FAT32, put update.zip on it
2.boot into fastboot, connect usb cord to phone n computer
to get into fastboot mode
press volume down + power held for a few seconds when phone is off
then press volume down once n enter fastboot
then connect the phone to the computer
3.on the computer run command prompt n browse to the director with android SDK n go into the tools folder
execute this command
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
4.once this is done, the SD card is then recognized by the recovery
5.now reboot go back into recovery from the same volume down+power sequence n then say flash zip from SD card
to get into recovery
vol down + power at start n then select recovery (having access to recovery is important)
then choose flash zip from sd n flash the file update.zip from your sd card
basically the fastboot command n format of the sd card should be fine to let you flash a new ROM zip file n get the phone started
but the issue is actually called a USB brick in which, you lose access to bluetooth, battery drains a lot, n there is no way to access mem card via usb on the computer its not recognized
hence i flashed this update file from that forum there, which describes the fix in detail
Hi,
I have Cyanogenmod 7 on my Desire.
And I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my PC.
I copied the contents of my SD Card and the Apps2SD Partition (including hidden files), erased my SD Card and formatted it again (ext3 and FAT32), copied everything back (including hidden files) and now I get a boot loop.
-I used MicroSD>SD Card Adapter>PC
-I can access recovery
-I reduced the size of the ext partition from 1GB to 700MB
-I didn't make a nandroid backup before I did this.
-I changed the label of the ext partition.
-I'm using this for Apps2SD
Is there possibly some sort of temporary files/cache I can delete to make it work?
Thanks

The order of the partitions have to be FAT32 followed by the ext3 (and not viceversa)...Is it?

They are in that order (unless you mean formatted first?)
The important thing is that the first partition is a fat32, and the second the ext
From the recovery menu try to see if it can mount the ext partition (try just a mount/unmount of the sd-ext to check if the recovery can access the ext) otherwise u can format it from the recovery and then copy back the files from ur pc car reader
U can also try wiping cache and dalvik cache, but don't think will have effects
Otherwise I have no other ideas

If the recovery can acces the ext, will just say u that is mounted (so everything is ok regarding that partition), otherwise u will get an error like "E:Can't mount dev/block/mmcblk0p2", in this last case u can try formatting the ext from the recovery menu, then restore the files in it (previously backupped) manually

Why u didn't make a nandroid backup? A simple solution now will be to do a fresh install of ur rom again...
Anyway change the thread title.."Boot loop" is too generic, edit it as Boot loop after sdcard repartition URGENT, something like this...(To edit it just edit the first post title)
I hope someone else here can help u..I dont have other ideas, if the sdext is correclty read from the recovery, mean even ur rom should read it and should boot..How much time did u wait? are u sure the boot continue to loop? Go in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and wait..U could also do "adb logcat" when ur phone is booting..Search for some guides for it..That will show u some possible errors during the boot that make ur phone bootlooping
Also try this: i read somewhere the ext partition label must be sd-ext (some a2sd script use the label to idenify the partition)(this label is automatically applied when u create/format the ext from the recovery, but as u created the partition ur self from the pc, put that label and see what happen)

I've tried putting the label as sd-ext. Didn't work
I know I have waited long enough because the animation of the skateboarding blue android repeats (he comes in from the side again).
Can you link me a guide of how to do "adb logcat"?
???????????
bump.........
How do I do an "adb logcat"?
Can you show me a guide, please?
I'm using this for Apps2SD
you need to install android sdk. after that go to platform-tools folder and run adb.exe logcat

Or learn some adb and format in recovery. I hate to see a phone given up on due to an issue reading a sdcard.
Also android has a format option in the storage menu. Have you tried that?

i booted to cwm, couldn't format because the phone doesn't recognize it.
tired it from cm10.1 storage, no luck so idk anymore.
Try this:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Connect phone to PC (must have working adb)
3. Start->Run->cmd
4. Type adb shell where you normally would run adb.
5. mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Or simpler, did you try wiping external storage (in TWRP recovery) or a similar sdcard wipe in CWM?

Do the commands in a terminal emulator app.
su
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

Guess what guys, I thought it would be a smart idea to format my Dincs internal storage to NTFS...I needed to transfer a big file and didn't have anything on it so it seemed like a good idea. Yes I didn't have a flash drive. Anyway, it didn't turn out good. I'm not really worried about being able to use it again (I have a 32gb sd card) but I don't like broken things. I'd like to fix it, I've already done some homework but have got no results. I am currently running this for anyone interested. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143575 Any ideas on how to get it to work again? Even my computer won't read it -___-

Format the internal SD with recovery?

Do you have adb setup and working on your pc?
You need to be in recovery and then open an adb shell. Run the folowing hitting enter after each line.
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
print
You will see a line starting with "Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: ...MB"
What ever that size says at the end use in the following line.
Code:
mkpartfs fat32 0 ...MB

Sorry for the extremely late reply, I've been without internet for the longest time now. Anyways, as much I would've liked to fix it, I've upgraded my device. Thanks a lot for your comment though!:laugh:
