I had been trying to install the new oxygen 2.0.1 with and the data2whatever scripts and also tried to reformat my sd card to increase from 512 to 1024mb.
from what ive read i may have somewhoe reformatted my internal sd ext or did something to it.
I followed one fix found from hereHere
but that didnt help it made another problem which is: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) I/O error
error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
does anyone else know a link for a fix or how to fix the sd-ext on the internal storage?
Please please help
Thanks
CWM messed up mine, so that's why I never use Recoveries to do this job.
I fixed it using GParted. Deleted both partitions, created new ones and aligned both.
No problem ever since.

Hey thanks for the reply, can you explain a little more.
you deleted the mmcblk0p2 directory and created new ones?
Did you do that in adb with parted?
if not how did you go about with it?
Thank you
I booted GParted from my usb stick, and the phone was in recovery mode, where I mounted the SD Card (Advanced - Mount USB Storage).
Gparted recognized it as dev/sdb0 (I think) and showed to partitions.
Removed them both (showed 15 GB Unallocated space*) and created the 1GB Ext4 and then the Rest FAT32.
*=16GB is 15 GB usable space (just in case ).

Yeah thanks. I figured out how to do the sd card but i think my problem is the actual sd-ext folder in the system partition on the phone.
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblck0p2 (file exists) error mounting /sd-ext/!
ANy one else have any other suggestions??
im getting desperate
SOLVED
I finally solved this. the problem was that somehow i dont know but
when i made the ext 3 partition it was extened, so obviously recovery couldnt mount it so that was the problem.
I fixed it by following this guys thread Here using parted and the shell to format and partition my sd card
So relieved i fixed this.
Same problem was in my desire.however, solved by install RUU ROM to remove the root then I root again the problem solved.

Hi all,
I have a big problem with my desire well my class 6 32gb kingston card I should say.
I don't seem to be able to create an ext partition, I tried rom manager, but it doesn't work because it doesn't create it. It actually creates a partition which can't be recognized by my pc, rom, clockword or amon recovery, neither clockword recovery no amon's recovery seem to be able to create a working one at the moment.
Then, I tried to do it via adb and parted but it says parted not found, I pushed parted to sbin via adb and i tried to do it there, it works fine for creating fat32 partitions but when it comes to ext3 it goes until the end and then says some bug has been found in parted.
Then, I used gparted, I created a fat32 partition and then a ext3 partition, it shows clearly that the partitions are there but neither my leodroid rom nor either of the recoveries can see it, when I try to wipe it, it says unable to format (file exists).
Then, I used minitools partition wizard but with no avail, neither the rom nor the recovery can read the ext partition.
Any help is appriciated.

are you creating an ext 4 partition with gparted? i had the same problem with clockworkmod, the file exists error, so i tried with the unbuntu live cd (ext 4) and got the same error, i deleted the partition and this time created an ext 3 instead and all worked fine, maybe theres a problem with clockwork and ext 4 partitions
believe me i have tried 4, 3 and 2 and none of them seem to be readable. It's driving my crazy. Any idea why parted is not on my rom? or is it just my particular device having this issue?
Thanks,
I am having a similar problem, would appreciate if someone can help
in my case I tried to partition the stock 4 GB SD card that comes with the Desire into 480 MB EXT2 partition and the rest into FAT32, for this i tried:
- ROM Manager but if failed to create the partition after going to recovery
- used EASUS partition manager from my Windows Vista laptop, and it seemed that the partition were correctly created
Then I proceeded to try to flash a couple of ROMS that are using A2SD (Leedroid 2.2e and 2.2f , Modaco R9) and in each time I got stuck in splash screen. I tried for many times then I decided to try with a ROM not using A2SD (pre-rooted stock HTC Froyo) and my Desire came back to life again.
The problem is that after that point my SD card was not recognisable at all by the phone although I could use it on the Windows laptop
I wonder if someone can explain in details the best way to format a SD card to be able to work with A2SD or A2SD+, preferrably from the phone itself (clockwork recovery) or from Windows PC application
Thanks

I have the same problem, can any one help??? I gave lots of money to buy that sd card but I cant use it the way I want :S
Take a Usb-stick.
! YOUR DATA FROM YOUR STICK WILL BE LOST, BACKUP BEFOR GPARTED INSTALL!
! BACKUP YOUR DATA FROM YOUR DESIRE SD-CARD, ALL DATA WIL BE LOST USING THIS METHOD!
Download gparted, install it using unetbootin.
start gparted form your usb-stick.
Remove all partitions in GParted from your desire sd-card.
create a new partition form about 1Gb ext-4.
then create a new partition (fat-32) that fils the rest of your sd-card.
Note: the ext-4 partition needs to be in front of the fat-32 partition.
restore your desire sd-card data.
I hope this helps!

Have you got it working?
Yes Thanks. All sorted now
I've read somewhere how to prevent the ext3 partition from being mounted when I connect my phone via USB, but i can't find it anymore.
When i choose Mount Storage I only the Fat partition should be mounted.
Does anyone know how to do this?
look here, there's a zip to flash in recovery to solve that problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748793
seems only to work with sense roms :/
I'm using the MIUI rom, maybe i'll find another way to get it work
Are you sure? i'm using that exact flashable zip with a miui rom and i no longer have problems with double partitions, lost files, etc.
Yeah :/ I'm using MIUI 0.12.24 and I can still see the ext3 partition on my pc. And my Fat partition is the first partition on the SD card.
And i still can't see new files without reboot.
Hi all!
As a last resort i'll be asking my question here.
I'm currently running the stock 2.2 rom with root access and clockworkmod recovery. I've had this setup for a long time now. Today i got my 8gb class6 card and i thought i'd change to a Desire HD rom for a change.
So far (5 hours into the process), i've only managed to what seemed the easyest: ..partition my sd card!
I currently have the following:
7gb fat32
1gb ext2
32mb swap
I have tried everything i could find but i simply cannot get this thing to upgrade to ext3 and then ext4. I do not have a card reader at hand so i'll have to do it within the phone.
The problems i'm facing after struggling for 2 hours to get parted working:
- no upgrade_fs script.
- tune2fs giving a unknown command error
I've been playing arround with this for about an hour when i switched to trying to install AmonRA recovery as i read this could upgrade your ext partition aswell. Problems i faced when trying to flash this were:
- unrevoked: internal error, unable to unlock nand.
- flash recovery app: error running command.
- flash_image commands: whole bunch of write errors and in the end a no space left error.
- rom manager: alternate recovery's greyed out, even after countless reinstalls and 'flash clockworkmod first' -tricks.
- fastboot: remote: vertification error.
- terminal app: flash_image not found.
And probably a bunch more i forgot..
I'm thinking of simply installing a RUU and do the whole rooting process again, and then installing amonra. For now i've recovered a clockworkmod backup i made and put back my old sdcard.
I hope there's someone that can help me!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
Use something like gparted or Easus or what ever it's called to partition the SD card.

Done this, but gparted only allows creation of ext2. The problem im having is upgrading it to ext3!
GParted allows to create all kind of EXT partition (including EXT3). Use the latest LIVE CD or USB version. I upgraded my EXT3 to 4 via GParted.

Oh i did not know that, i thought it only allowed up to ext2.
But dont you need a cardreader for that? Because i dont have one at hand right now
No, don't need a card reader. Best way is to boot into recovery and mount the SD Card. You can try via the Disk Drive option, but it gave me wrong readings (since the EXT partition was in use by the system), so not recommended.

Thank you!!!
I feel so stupid for struggling for hours yesterday. Only took me 5 minutes with GParted USB. Running the HD rom now!
I partitioned my SD with Amon Ra then selected ext2 to ext3, but it failed. When I moved the log to the SD card and read it on my PC it said there was no ext. I redid the partition, again with Amon Ra, then selected ext2 to ext3 and it worked. Just figured I'd let people know the ole try again method could work if you get here.

In a couple of weeks, you will be posting about ext not working properly.
Only partition your sd-card with 4ext recovery or Gparted.
Hi Community,
Got a Desire where I've rooted it with Unrevoked3 yesterday. Unrevoked worked fine, without any issues as usual.
Then had 8GB sdcard formatted and partitioned to EXT3 and FAT32. Loaded a custom ROM on the FAT partition and booted to Recovery. Wiped all and install ROM and rebooted, ended up with the same ROM. Did this a couple of times and then memory card could not be mounted to phone.
Memory card still reads fine on PC when loaded to a memory card reader. Tried the same card in Desire HD, same thing, cannot mount.
Anyone seen this issue before?
Got a 2GB card in the Desire now and it reads fine, even on the DHD.
Your help is appreciated.
Try to re-format the Sdcard using Gparted or MiniTool Partition.
Note : u should create a Fat32 partiton first (type primary) and then an Ext2.3.4 (also primary)
Thanks for the reply aca.
I've reformatted a couple of times now (redoing the partitions and then making the whole card a Primary FAT32), was still not showing.
The card was reading before it started to play up. There are a few messages displaying in Recovery when doing a wipe though.
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
EDIT: Did format it again, making sure sdcard was formatted for primary FAT32 and EXT3. Still no good.
Hi, get an Sd adaptor and a digital camera, format it trough the camera and it will probably be fine, or alternatively do a low level format with one of the tools available (just google low level format tool).
Hey @ all,
ive got a HTC Desire with these specs:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
HBOOT 6.93.1002
Radio 5.11.05.27
rooted, s-off
I tried ICS Beta with an ext4 partition for about 2-3 months, the performance was too slow, so i decided to get a faster GB-Rom. I did a full wipe and formatted my sd-card with Panasonic SD Formatter (Full Erase).
Then i tried to create a new ext4 partition with Mini Partition Tool Wizard.... (1. Move/Resize, 2. 2048MB of unallocated space - so i got a fat32 partition with 6GB and the 2nd unallocated partition will be turned into a EXT4 Primary Drive with 4kb Clusters) 3. Mini Partition Tool tells me that everything is done and without failure.
Then i boot in my Recovery and go to (mounts and storage/mount usb storage) win7 tells me that a new drive was found with 6GB (8GB SD Card - 2GB ext4). I copy my choise of ROM on it (in my example RSK bravo 7.4.3) - everything works.
Then i unmount USB storage and go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard) and then a failure appears: Can´t mount /sdcard/
If i format the SDcard once again (without ext4) it works, i can install .zip´s and i can mount the sd-card.
Im really mad, cause i tried this 100times without success. Also tried a other card, same thing.
Could this be an sd-brick? (But everything works fine without ext4). Is it a problem of partitioning? Or can i solve this problem with another software or what would you try?
Sorry for my bad english
Please help me
Oh and maybe it helps to discover the issues... when i power on my desire it starts the revolutionary boot loader, without pressing the VOL- button...
Anyone got a idea what i could try? Im so
hello friend , this problem was also occur with me
Solution: run gparted and remove all partitons and create new fat32 partition then apply, your problem solved
If i format the SDcard once again (without ext4) it works, i can install .zip´s and i can mount the sd-card.

Thx for your awnser but it also works without gparted (but just with a fat32 partition, without ext4). Have you created ext4 also with gparted and it worked?
I solved it
Tryed to format and partition with the sd card in my girlfriends unrooted desire z.
1st the desire z cant read the sd card and i thought it wouldn´t work again, but after formatting, partitioning i inserted the sdcard again in my desire - and then i go to install from sd-card, and see there: i could choose the rom
Maybe the unmounted usb from recovery was the reason, i dont know but im really happy that it worked
