hey guys.after trying to partition my sd card i noticed some off my apps and data erased while my sd card(2gb) changed to 0.91 gb (i setted 1 gb partition) but i cant access the 1gb of the partition.is it possible to reform it so i have back 2gb(dont care for the data).thanks
download a software called sdformatter 3.0... and enable the option of resizing the sd card... and then format... bt beware that this will cause u to loose ur ext partition(if any).. and all the data on the entire card... so plz back it up first..
Thanx for fast reply but i don't have card reader on PC.can i do it through phone?
If i'm not mistaken, i think you can.
Just plug in via USB, choose "Disk Drive" option on your phone..
It should work
Use CWM 3.x (rom manager) to format and repartition your card...hope that helps..

Hi everyone!
I have a transcend 8GB micro sd (class 6) in my desire.
Ive formated it like that:
7gb fat32
1gb ext3 (maybee its ext2 or 4 I dunno)
no swap
a few days ago my phone sayd that the sd card is corrupted!
The strange thing is that all my apps which are on the exp partition are still working flawlessly and I can also access all files on the sd card via ES Strong File manager!
What I cant do for ex. is setting up ringtones which are on my sd card. They show up in the ring tone menu but no sound plays but when I open em in the mp3 player they play fine!
I also cant take pics/vids with the cam because the phones says I should insert a sd card!
Is this a known problem?
What I wanna do is getting my data and my apps over to my computer and then reformating the card and transfering everything back. Just to see if it works then (doubt it!).
But I dont know how to do it because of the ext partition! Can you give me a hint please?

its quite easy for one partiton to be corrupt while the other isnt, thats because there using diffrent fs's unless you have linux there is no way to access your ext partiton, just format the card and start again
Download the gparted(?) liveCD.
Mount the disk image, via daemon tools/cd etc.
This way, you can just reformat the partition you need.
I found this useful switching my ext4 to ext3 without wiping my FAT32 partition.
As long as you don't attempt to resize or touch the FAT32 partition, as linux handles FAT32 differently, and can become temperamental.
Shouldnt I be able to access the ect partition from any linux distri via vm ware?
I think thats the way to go - will try it today and report
I found this, too: http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows
think it will work but I have to gather some knowledge about linux anyway!
Hi everyone
I just formated SD EXT for a2SD wouldnt work, after I switched from GingerVillain to InsertCoin. It seems like it screwed up my SD Card. When I plug into windows it tells me to format Removable disk, but it doesnt manage too, I get unable to format. I formated through Recovery, still not working.
I guess I lost everything but how can I restore my SD card.
Please help
Format it through gparted or do format it whilst booted into Android, Settings > SD and storage.
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 :/
i find somethings
look there

Created swap partition and set it to 0 mb?
Which size has your ext3 partition?
I have 4GB SD card and when I used gparted i set 1GB for ext3.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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.

Insert the card into your laptop and then boot a Windows CD-DVD and then format, I have done so.

I can't access my SD card when I in android platform.
I must enter MAGLDR for this and choose USB Mass Storage.

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.

No,your phone is not dead.It's a software issue
Did you tried mount in recovery?
Do u have a previous backup of system partition?
When I try mount external sd, there was error becouse "no card"
On 108 and 157 same problem and thats was not update, i install clear ROM and after do backup (108 ROM) from September (then I use 16GB ADATA card) still have the same problem
Did you format the card on phone? Don't just try to use computer to format it. I've tried a similar case but then after used the format tool on phone to format the card and the problem solved. If it doesn't work too, try to use other sd card.
You should format to FAT32!
But on my PC a can do this only exFAT or NTFS, when i format to FAT32 by recovery after put card to PC it want to format card
