Hi guys,
I couldn't find anything about this (I did try searching before posting this thread, so I hope I am not repeating a common question!).... I wish to unpartition my sd card and just go back to a normal fat32 partition....
So far I have tired windows disk management and Rom Manager, which just allows you to ADD a ext partition with no luck!
Can anyone else guide me how to achieve this?
Regards!

:O Thanks, which recovery should I be using? :s
System recover? clockworkmod using the fake flash method? because I don't see the Partition SD Card menu anywhere else and i've tried both!
I know its right in front of me somewhere, I just can't see it, D'oh!
use the one from rooting folder
Bah,
I ended up using GPart live cd to undo it!!
Thanks for the responses guys, hopefully this will help someone else who needs it!

Sorry for using your thread, however I don't have that Partition SD Card option on my Desire, when I go into recovery?

That's fine, it's why I created the thread!
If you just want to partition you can use ROM Manager (but this requires root)
you need the recovery file (entitled 'pushfiles' or something) from the risk-free root package to partition/un-partition the card.
Else, you can use a GPart live CD, which makes it really easy!
Hope that helps buddy...

I already partitioned my SD card via GParted, got a 16 gb card partitioned as follows:
14 gb fat32
1 gb ext2
250 gb swap
However in recovery, when I try to mount sd-ext it fails to do so Don't know why...

If you're using a2sd+ then you need to change your ext2 partition to ext3, Also, I don't believe that you need a swap partition anymore...
Try that!

lol, lets give the guy a break.... we all know it was a 256GB Flash card!
Anywhooo, I have another question, so I think i'll hijack my own thread!
Guys, whats the most efficient way to backup/restore and move apps between roms? I've ended up manually re-installing installed apps 2/3 times now, I was going between roms that did/didn't support a2sd. Also, should there be any consideration to any specific backup options available in the various tools?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, my phone got bricked using GPart live to turn my ext 2 into a 3 partition. Everything went fine using the program, turned off Usb storage, went into market and tried to download a program, when it started to install the screen when black.
Now I cant boot with sdcard in, I don't come past the white HTC screen
Without SDcard it starts loading the system but the loading is a never ending loop.
Tried to format SD with fakeflash, dosent help
Tried reflashing my rom with wipe and everything, dosent help
Any ideas?

I would say, firstly try to get your phone working by wiping it clean and re flashing the rom. Use a different memory card just to get up and running. Then you can concentrate on fixing you card..
Although that seems like a very strange issue, are you sure you formatted your card correctly with GPart? (eg, exactly 512 MB/1024MB?) I'm a n00b myself so I would also wait for some of the more experienced users to offer their input. lol

Solved it by using AM recovery, repair + new partition solved the problem! Gonna reflash 2.0 again since i messed up the wiping somehow and then keep this until the rooted 2.2 is out!

Yeah, i try it, i formated the sd to NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT, but ain't not working.
Are you certain that the sd card is working? Have you tried to read it your PC using a card reader? Could you try another card in your phone?

Dude.that is not a proper way to format our sd card
Im using minitool partition application.U need to install that with your pc.Use google search for that app.
>Use card reader if u choose minitool partition method
>1st partition format must be fat32 (so tht your pc and phone can read it)
>2nd format ext3 (this is for a2sd and link2sd)
>3rd format will be linux swap. (currently a2sd swap function still unavailable.It dependent with kernel support)
Here is video link from youtube for your guidance.FYI im using terma and buzz kernel
Hey, thanks a lot. The problem is on the kernel, i flashed the rom again and flash the kernel 0.7.50 rc20 and no problem.
Thanks for everyone

i dunno about that..
but i'm using EnergyRom with ChopSuey kernel..
so not every kernel can supports ext4?
which kernels should I use for my supersonic to supports ext4?
I know the Mason kernel supports ext. 4. Read the OP for the ROM you're using and make sure ext. 4 is supported.

If its a sense rom only underworld kernel and classic kernel support ext 4 and if its aosp rom mostly every kernel supports it.

Scratch what I said above. I forgot Energy is a Sense ROM, so you'll need a Sense ROM that supports ext. 4, assuming it's supported by the ROM.

1. Maybe your card doesn't support ext3 or
2. Format the whole card after you back up everything on it. Then do the partion and then move everything back to the SD card
3. Update ext1 to ext2
4. Wipe using superwipe or whatever method you use, flash the rom, same session flash your kernal underworld number 8 for your sense rom, then same session flash your apps2sd script I use cronmod INT2EXT4+ it moves your partion to your internal memory and I have 900mb on my internal memory 300 apps installed and 400mb of internal memory left and because its internal my phone is fast as hell with no lag.. then reboot and take a look around to see if the script stuck.. if so then get rid of armon installer use smelkous recovery you can go back into it and update your partion without having to format your SD card again.. so then you would update to ext3 but you may have to uninstall your app2sd script and then reflash it once you get your ext4 up and running.. I will link cronmod so you can read the op he also has a app2sd script as well

Just look for smelkous 4.2 I believe it is, I think its pretty str8 forward as far as ext upgrades if its capable of being upgraded to ext3 or ext4, but not all SD cards can be updraded to ext 3 or 4

Hey!
I bought new sd card today. (Kingston microSDHC 8GB class 10)
So, I've created new partition with CWM (2GB) and I flashed enhanced236, and flashed INT2EXT+ script, and nothing. I have 180MB internal memory.
I don't get it. What am I doing wrong?

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

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.
