hi, i am using desire S-ON with 512 mb of ext partition created through rom manager. Now i want reformat my sd card into 1 gb ext 3 partition. Rom manager doesnt have any option of 1Gb. i tried using gparted live but that doesnt detect my sd card. I am connecting my sd card Via phone. Any clue on how can i get my sd card reformatted?
Use a usb card reader with gparted instead of through your phone

Connect the phone to the PC and mount the SD card from recovery BEFORE you turn the PC on and GParted should see it then.
Thanks a lot . mounting the phone before pc starts worked for me. Cant believe i wasted so much time because of this simple trick. Thanks once again

Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery and i cant upload files on it by the computer.
i can use ADB when the phone plug in to the computer.
HELP!!
What can i do?
Did your desire work before you partitioned your SD Card?
I would suggest reformatting the card into the partitions you mentioned above, and copy a ROM to the FAT32 partition. Then, reflash a rom (with the SD Card inserted, obviously).
Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.
I've just bought the new SD card 32 GB and tried to partition but when mount on the phone, there is error " SD card damged, need to reformat again"
After format the card by using the phone. The card can be used. Is there problem with the card or my ROM's phone?
I'm using Zte v9 mytap Optus and it has been rooted
How do you partition the SD-Card? On your PC? - Which filesystem have you choose? (ext3?)
Kotake
Yeah. I did it on PC using mini tool partition with win XP. I don't have card reader. Just plug the phone to PC and mount the card. The card was formated fat32 and ext2
No one cannot help me ?
Try Gparted.
Remember that the first partition needs to be FAT32, followed by your smaller ext partition.
sd died, i thick that her life finish...

If you can use the card after you formated with your phone, everything is okay.
The card just came unformatted or in the wrong format, it is not deffective.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem: I think I've ruined my 16GB Micro SD card.
I've tried to partition it using MiniTool Partition Wizard, into fat32 + ext3. Somehow, now Windows only sees 11.38GB on the card.
I've repeatedly formatted it to no avail. I've tried deleting all partitions using MiniTool, but it just keeps getting smaller! What am I doing wrong? How can I start again....I just want those 4 or 4 GB back!
Hi there. If I am not mistaken, Windows cannot recognized the ext partition. This is why you will only see the fat32 size. I suggest you to use Gparted live cd to repartition again your SD card

Yep, use Gparted and use a card reader or the phone in recovery. In recovery don't forget to mount all the partitions.

Well, I have a class 10 16 gb micro sd car. today after installing the Increase Internal Memory mod by XtremeSilencer, I partitioned it using the Minitool partition wizard. after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed the whole rom(Revoluotion HD ICS) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. I even flashed the stock firmware.. still no respite. please help.. :crying:
