I don't know about CWM method but you can use Gparted on your PC and do it easily... Search Google for USB Gparted boot..

i try formatting using pc but the ext partition became allocated volume..ok i give it a try..thnx

If you are rooted you could use Link2SD.
But if you want to remove it use official SD Formater 3.1. First backup your existing files from sd

1. unlink all apps
2. uninstall link2sd
*backup data
3. reformat your sdcard
4. search for a link2sd guide here & do as directed

i cant understand what u r sayin ....
i think you mean to say that your Sd card files are not showing ?
But when you view with link 2 Sd then its showing there right ?
I think u need to backup your Sd card in PC then u need to format your Sd card in fat 32 using you're phone not in PC .... Then restore your files via USB cable from PC ....
and also do a wipe data /factory reset in stock recovery

link2sd cannot mount its scripts on stock roms!! That's why you cannot view the 2nd partition!!

@leodasal2
No buddy.... I'm using link2sd on stock rom... And it's working awesome.

I think he doesn't have problem with ext partition but the fat32 partition

This happened to me once your sdcard must be failing, you better backup your data before it says format unable to read device

Ya I'm on stock kernel as in signature, and I can create link also.
No problem at all.

Im also on stock Rom& stock kernal and link2sd is working perfect for me....
but i had these problems before....
I experimented many times by relinking and recreating mount scripts...but the problem came once in a while.
But after that i've backed up the .apk s and cleaned up the second partition and cleared data(settings-applications-manage-link2sd-clear data button) and now again used link2sd, created links and now the mounting problems are over! hoo....

Try formatting your sdcard,
Backup first in your pc, or delete your ext partition using minitool partition or easeus partition, make it (your sdcard) empty , copy paste cwm to your sd, and flash it via recovery , goto Advanced n then choose Partition SD Card . Hope this help..
Also, if its not working again, try deleting "content holder" or something like that, on /system/sd . Use root explorer (recommended) .

In CWM or PX recovery there is option to make partition on sd card. Search it, perhaps it is in advenced options

Before making a partition: Copy all files from you sd-card to your computer, then partition the sdcard, after partition, restore all the files again

Oh, yeah, i forget to write this. Making partitions via recovery deletes all your files from sd-card. About two weeks ago I did it -,-
But making partition via PC is safy

For me 256 MB is fine. Then use S2E, for example, to move system apps on sd-card

is 512 mb fine ?
and how to configure A2SD
just partition and then move apps to sd ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

It's better to make partition size not more than by 10% of your sd-card.
Like if you have 8gb sd-card then you should make around 750-780mb to be on safe side

I can't flash a rom from my ext sd card though. I get an error from CWM recovery when I try to do so. My sd card format is exFAT format btw.

format it to fat32 then.. I'm sure you have the SD card adaptor to use on your laptop without the phone... do a quick format... you need a program that is free in windows... Google format fat32

RanceedaW said:
It's windows, pop in the card, go to start, then my computer, right-click the new icon, select format, choose fat32, select quick format, click start, wait, done.
Or use GParted to format it to fat32 in *nix.
Or any other software you prefer to use.

Just boot into recovery and format micro sd or ext sd card (wording depends on recovery of choice) as long as when it formats it says using mkdosfs and completes successfully youre golden and back to fat 32 and using sd card again like nothing happened

Alright guys, I managed to fix it but my dumbass accidently hit the format sd-ext button on CWM recovery when I was trying to hit the format data button and now all my data is gone Thankfully I still got most of the backups from my old Galaxy Nexus and managed to restore almost everything except my music playlist which took me hours to make Thanks for the replies though, even though I read them after I fixed it.

Find any old nokia phone that has a micro sd card slot and put your sd card in it. Then format the sd card using the phones file manager and voila the partition is deleted!!

How old? Which specific model?

Any Symbian model will do!
I personally use the Nokia 5233

connect your phone to PC,enable mass storage,install mini tool partition wizard on PC and open it and there you'll see your hdd and sdcard partitions,then delete sdext partition and extend the fat32 partiton of sdcard with the free space that has left after deleting sdext partition

MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition is the easiest way. You can find tutorials in the web.

Sorry but i can't see how? From recovery is simple.
Boot to recovery.
Select format sdcard
Wait
Profit.
Both twrp and cwm recoveries support this :/

No, I think the OP asked how he can delete the sdext partition i.e. merge it with the original partition. I'm not sure if that can be done from the recovery.

A valid point, but I would still do a full format. after copying everything I needed over of course Both methods work
