Found 20 partitions inside HTC Mazaa - Windows Phone 7 General

Hi, i don't know if this is an already-know fact but even google can't tell me if i discovered something new.
If i old and press down the power button on my HTC Mazaa for something like 30 seconds the phone just shuts down and do 3 consecutive vibration.
After this the only way to re-power-on is removing the battery
But.. if i plug the phone on my pc while in this "dead-like" state windows founds it and mount a new partition, sadly a partition in unknown format type wich can't be opened.
Using the Disk Management utility i noticed that windows see 20 partition inside my windows phone! One in RAW format and other totally unknown.
My first try was to open that from windows 8 hoping in some new file system but i got the same result as windows 7.
I attach a screenshot of my Disk Management, hoping it can help!
And now some questions, is this the same thing i can see using the internal windows phone sd card in a normal pc?
Someone knows if this is crypted in some way or is a brand new file system?
ps: on the screenshot i just censored my 2 hard-disks, all the rest is from the phone

[Q] SD Card blank or has unsupported file system

I have a HTC Desire Z Model A7272 with the microSD microSDHC SanDisk 8 GB Class 4.
CyanogenMod 7.0.3
After rooting and installing CyanogenMod 7.0.3, I went to Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD Card. Doing that showed two confirmation screens Erase SD Card -> Erase everything and then the notification bar said:
Code:
SD card safe to remove
Blank SD card
Opening the notification bar sais:
Code:
Blank SD card
SD Card blank or has unsupported file system
with the option Format SD card. Doing that, enters the circle again, displaying one after another:
Code:
SD card safe to remove
Blank SD card
SD Card blank or has unsupported file system
Same with Settings -> Storage -> Mount SD Card and Erase SD Card.
After Googling and Reading I booted ClockworkMod Recovery:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4
There I did mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, which resulted in:
Code:
Error mounting /sdcard!
Same with mounts and storage -> format /sdcard:
Code:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
The option advanced -> Partition SD Card only displays ext sizes until 4 GB, my card is 8 GB.
So I enter the shell:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26 shell
VBusyBox v1.16.2androidfull
Boot Log sais:

Unfortunately, the following programs I am used to by Linux are not available on my phone: blkid, fsck, mkfs.
I tried creating a new partition table with one primary partition over the entire size. Neither ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod wanted to format or mount this. However, one of them changed the partition table back to what can be seen above.
Unfortunately, I can not currently put the card into another device to debug/format/mount it there.
Any idea how I can debug this further on my phone?
from the formating going on your phone, it seems to say skipped the format. i suggest to format the sd card on your computer to fat32. also if your computer detects errors on the sd card, you can debug them on your computer then reformat it. just remeber to back up your stuff
I didn't have another device. That was my problem.
So I dug one up (some Samsung, non-Android), put it in there, formatted it, put it back in mine and it worked!
Cool for problem solved, but I am still wondering what the cause of this was and how to fix it.
The partition table is still looking exactly the same:
Code:
# [I]fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1[I]
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk1: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 962 cylinders

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:

So my questions remain:
1. Why were both CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4 unable to format and/or mount the card? Where is the exact bug?
2. How to fix this software so we don't need another device?

Did you try
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
in clockwork recovery?
I suggest getting a new card. Either of the cards in my signature are good, and PNY's 8GB Class 4 card is a good backup card.
Im having the same problem. I have an atrix. WHAT DO I DO
I'm having the same issue and have tried formatting through clockwork, the current rom i'm using, and windows. The sdcard still cannot be mounted. I've tried searching throught the forums and haven't found anything that helped. Hoping someone might have some suggestions other than buying a new sdcard...thanks
also, how do u type in commands while in recovery?

Nook Touch Partition Hacking

Folks are starting to look at the ST partition table and the file layout on the ST. This post is intended for other folks with power tools to think about.
My goals:
- expose the BN content (so I can read the New Yorker on my NC, mostly, but also so I can manage the library on my ST with Calibre as I do on the NC)
- understand how much room I have on the internal memory
- increase the amount of memory available for sideloading.
I got in well over my head during a conference call last week, but my ST is reborn and now able to do cool things.
However: I did not start from a factory fresh partitioning scheme, sadly. My first backup of the device went permanently offline (the disk and linux install containing it) and I was unable to return to it after I'd borked the ST pretty badly on the call. All I really was sure of was the partition order.
The tools:
- "noogie." Available and discussed at http://nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting
- the rooting disk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132693 (currently at 1-6-24 - mad props to the folks who put that together!)
- a working Linux installation with USB support. Vmware player in Windows works just fine for this.
Note: currently, that third element is key; this is not intended as a walkthrough that tons of people could follow today, but to spark awareness of the technique - it seems possible that something very much like the DeanG scripts for redoing the NC partitions could emerge. Hint Hint.
First: the noogie disk is super cool. You boot from it and it mounts all of your ST partitions. So you can get a complete backup in linux (or Mac) by :
#dd if=/dev/sdX of=virigin.ST.img bs=1M
A true disk image backup.
You could (if you were patient) get the individual partitions as well - there is value in doing that, because within the first three partitions your serial number is stored. It's possible to restore this image to a different ST -- but then you've also transferred your serial number. whoops.
You can mount the partitions in linux and copy all the files from each of them as well.
After you have a backup, power off, insert the simple touch root disk, and power up. It will boot to a screen that reads "rooted forever" (as does Noogie) and after a pause, will continue booting as it does some setup.
You will wind up with ADB enabled over wifi by default and google apps installed.
You may also need to restart immediately -- I've found that sometimes after rooting, my s/n is all zeroes. Restarting clears that.
I also find that in order to get the Android marketplace working, I need to hunt down a copy of Vending.apk that is 2 meg (2,125,824 bytes on disk) in size and install it over the copy that touchnooter installs. I believe this one is the one that folks use for cm7?
The command to install it is:
#adb install -r Vending.apk
The -r is needed to avoid getting told the signature's bad. It's a reinstall flag.
So , once rooted, you have access to ADB and to fdisk for examining and changing disk layout.
The layout is interesting. Here's the issue: I know the order of the layout, but I screwed up my partition boundaries before I started, so the actual values here are from AFTER I finished:
(these values are from the fdisk display; they are not commands)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 c Win95 FAT 1-38
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 c Win95 FAT 39-46
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 83 Linux 47-141
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 5 Extended 142-926
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 83 Linux 142-285
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 6 FAT16 406-807
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 83 Linux 808-926
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 83 Linux 286-405
It's partitions 5-8 that are interesting.
5 is /system, and I leave it untouched.
6 is /media - the area you can copy files to. 6 is -- on my device -- the SECOND to last PHYSICAL partition.
7 is /cache. It is the LAST physical partition.
8 is /data - and it is the 6th PHYSICAL partition.
The device restore scripts from BN don't care how big the partitions are, but they do care what ORDER they're in.
I will give my current partition table at the end - I want to avoid posting a (wrong) copy of what I thought I started with, because I screwed it up.
A stock ST writes your purchases to /data, not to /media.
It writes them to /data/media, in fact.
So, first question: what happens if you do an
#rm -r
inside /data/media, then
#cd ..
#rmdir media
then do
#ln -s media /media to so you wind up with
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-08-29 20:19 media -> /media
in your /data partition?
1) It works
2) restart, grab stuff from BN - and you see it from your desktop system. Your content is visible.
Win!
Ok, so the next thing is: bugger . I only have 240 M or so of room for stuff now? Eh?
shell back in and use fdisk to delete the partitions and rebuild them.
The order is key here. They are named as they're made, but you need them laid out out of physical order.
The following worked for me:
#fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
d6
d6
d6
Partitions 6, 7 and 8 are gone now.
Next, to create partitions of a useful size in the correct order
n
(creates p6)
406 807
n
(creates p7)
808
926
n
(creates p8)
286 405
write your changes from fdisk.
reboot.
But - now you've picked stuff and moved it around. It's a Really Good Idea to reformat the partitions before use.
The best way is probably to use the mkfs tools on the device.
Best way, schmest way. I booted to Noogie and used qtparted in linux so I had a gui to doublecheck my partition layout.
formatted these as ext3 for the Linux partitions at 7 and 8, and as fat16 for the win partition at 6.
It's entirely possible that you could format that as fat32, but it comes from the factory at fat16 so I stuck with that.
Power down, remove noogie, power up.
I got a "failed to install" followed by a reboot followed by being back in the OS.
I did not have to reroot to get my apps, but I did need to reroot to fix the marketplace - the /data partition being blown out meant that the Android market was crashing.
Now, to finish:
go back in via adb and reestablish the symlink (you just blew it out when you resized /data)
So:
shell in
#cd /data/media
#rm -r
(only inside /data/media, it WILL tear out any files it sees.) then
#cd ..
#rmdir media
then do
#ln -s media /media
And your stuff is put on the /media directory and can be managed properly.
I think this stuff may well be scriptable.
There's a great thread on the repartitioning that I found last night, making use of sfdisk rather than fdisk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225196
As far as I know, swapping /data/media out to /media is new, but if it's not I apologize for being unaware of it.
So, here's the layout I finished with:
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 1958 MB, 1958739968 bytes
128 heads, 32 sectors/track, 934 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4096 * 512 = 2097152 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Can you please format your commands in such a way that they look correctly? Current formatting in the post with your commands seem strange and incorrect.
I think all are OK except the fdisk commands.
Unfortuantely, the fdisk commands are given inside of an ascii gui of sorts, to there's really no 'great' way to represent them, I don't think.
I've prepend the others with # so it's obvious they're shell commands.
How's about symlinking various things to a 2nd partition (ext4?) on the sdcard then?
gparted?
Has anybody tried gparted to resize the partitions? If it works it could be useful.
Have any one tried doing it on windows and using which software? I'm thinking of mini tool's partition manager. But i'm not sure. Anyone?

Thanks a lot for this, but the second and last lines are wrong:
rm -r should be rm -r *
ln -s media /media should be ln -s /media media
Still, thanks for the idea!
I wonder if symlinking to the sdcard could fix the whole 'shelves don't work for sideloaded books on sdcards' problem.

[Q] SD Card write speed dropped!

Well, I got a new Class 10 SD card, Transcend, from an online shop.
First few days it gave me great speeds. ~15mbps. Now, I'm getting not more than 4mbps!
I guess this happened mostly after using Data2SD or Partitioning the SD card
Anyone has any clue?
Hi,
I'd suggest formatting your memory card, then re-partitioning/re-doing whatever you've done to it.
Sent from my very dumb HTC Wildfire S (Stock Euro 2.3.5)
Did that a couple of times already
Well then I really don't know, sorry ...
Sent from my very dumb HTC Wildfire S (Marvel - Stock Euro 2.3.5)
Try using an SD Card reader and check its speed on your PC so that you know whether it's the card or the phone.
Then try a fresh ROM without Data2SD and check the speed.
Do each of the tests more than once cause sometimes there can be anomalies.
Same problem here
Bout a Samsung class 10 ,16gb sdhc and transfered some files to test the speed on my computer
I got 21mb write and 24mb read speed just as it said on the box
made partitions with Minitool to creat ext4 at a 32 cluster size
next thing you know even in windows my speed went down to 1mb/ and 2mb/sec
Anyone know whats going on here ?

There are several factors that could play into it here.
How are you accessing the microSDHC? USB cable to phone / plugged with card reader?
Can you test with a more reliable tool, like CrystalDiskMark?
Windows may be buffering the transfer and giving wrong numbers.
It could be that Minitool did not align the partition(s) properly, as it would have done for built-in SSDs.
Did you shrink the (first) FAT32 partition and create the ext4 at 'the end' of the available space?
On my WFS + SanDisk 16GB, Class 10, I created the partitions with CWM, and DATA2SD (Data2sdV2withA2sdremover_by_jikantaru) had to recreate the ext3 partition, because it was improperly aligned. This is from the data2whateverlog.txt:

I checked the speed with RoboCopy over USB to the WFS, it was about 4MB/s.
CrystalDiskMark reports 4.5MB/s write speed over the same connection (with 5 runs of 100MB data).
Try using SD-Booster app
You're right litemaster ! my windows was showing the wrong figures while transferring files .
i tried the sd tester and booster ,speed results weren't all that bad , 10mb read /10mb write.
and in windows it shows 2mb but file transfers at a much higher rate some times 30mb/sec.
Appreciate your your help buddy and Eduardo
P.S... By the way , given the results , this samsung class 10 isnn't that bad. Bought it for £12.00 from amazon.

SD Card Is Damaged error, but card is OK

Does anyone know what Android is doing to check the external SD card before producing the error that the SD card is damaged? I get that error after every reboot the card card is then fully functional (camera can write to it, file browsers can access it). I have reformatted the card in the phone and in Windows 7. Here is the output from fsck from a linux box:

Time to reflash the ROM maybe? (Diet ICS) I'd just like to know what command is being run to trigger the error. It is a 16GB card formated as fat32
ok, while I was spinning my wheels someone else had posted in the Diet ICS thread that this is apparently a known issue with the toggles being used.
I had to make sure my card was formatted to FAT32 for it to recognize my card. try that.

In this case it was specific to the ROM and reflashing the theme fixed it. While I was trying to figure out what was going on and ended up posting this question, someone else was already posting the fix.

Partitioned SD card and SD card removed - Help

The SD card was removed while the device was running.
The device is running CM 7.2 and the SD card was partitioned to extend the internal memory.
Now, everything is out of whack.
The call log is gone, the texts are gone, I have no contacts, I have no favorites.
The widgets are gone, the home screen icons are gone.
Actually it'd be better to say what's still there: The apps themselves and some file content (pictures, videos, downloads) are there.
How do I rectify this and safe my data. I wouldn't mind migrating it to a new device as I have a new device.
Please advice if you can
what method did you use to partition your card ? some leave user data on internal memory some move that too on to external. i don't know if there's any PC software that can see your 2nd partition if you put your SDcard into a card reader on a PC for backing up.

I don't know for sure but I think it was Data2SD from the package Data2sdV2withA2sdremover_by_jikantaru.zip
It is a 2 GB SD card and the phone shows an internal storage of 473 MB and 1,39 GB on the SD card.

I inserted it in a Ubuntu computer and got some output.
This is the relevant output from Ubuntu

Both partitions are still there and accessible. I did run fsck but it did not help with the lost thing (texts, etc.)
somebody else had trouble with that method a cm10.1 thread. I would have said try flashing it again but I don't know that method...
