Un-partitioning SD card?

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!

[Tutorial] Create SD-EXT Partition W/Clockwork Mod 1.2

No Need To Use G-Parted or other complicated tools!!!!
I have fully tested the new CWM 1.2 and can now confirm that you can now make SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+. Below is a step by step guide on how to do it:
Download the CWM v1.2 from RaiderX's Post and remember to say thanks!!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
RaiderX Instructions for new user;
1. download one of the partition files, if you don't know which one you need, use the 250M one or check with rom developer.
2. Extract downloaded zip to a folder of your choice
3. Copy contents of copy_to_sd_root (initrd.gz and zImage) to the root of your sd card
4. boot into magldr and select USB Flasher option while phone is connected to PC
5. Run DAF.exe included in the zip and follow onscreen instructions.
6. After complete, again boot into magldr and select "Boot AD SD" option
7. ClockworkMod recovery should load, you can flash a rom from here.
Now once you have done this:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD SO YOU WILL NEED TO GO INTO USB STORAGE MODE IN MAGDLER AND COPY THE 2 FILES FOR THE SD CARD FROM THE CWM DOWNLOAD
>and hey presto your done
> Remember you need to use an APPS2SD+ rom for this to work!
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition and many others you'll find out for yourself
Please Note: Not every app will get stored on the SD-EXT partition no matter what you do as there meant for the internal memory

i have 2 gb mcard,need help

Just follow the instructions doesn't matter on the size of your memory card, just choose an adequate size for your partition

you might want to add that this will also wipe the CWM files off the SD card so will need to use the USB Mass Storage option in magldr to copy the files back over

good
Thanks for this simple tutorial, bro. But may I ask. What is swap. What the best recommended size for it. Sorry for noob question.
edit: just know to select 0mb. Thanks

OK thanks for that

the partition is only ext3
is that a problem?

Thats not a problem as most roms support this its EXT4 that some roms don't support, but check the rom thread just in case

If we do a SD-EXT partition for use with APPS2SD+, will installing/uninstalling app lag? And how is the performance when compare to installing in phone memory?

No it will not lag and performance wise its should run faster as it has more space to place with and will not decrease the internal phone memory

Will all applications be installed in this extension? And will it cause any error when application, that required install to phone, are installed in this extension. For example,in MDJ CM7 2.2, Angry bird is required to install in phone memory in order to work.

It wont cause any error like i said before not all applications cant be installed to the ext partition so some applications will be installed to the internal phone memory, As for angry birds it will automatically install to the SD-Card partition as i have bot the season and normal version installed and they both run fine on the SD-EXT partiton

where could i get APPS2SD+ from ?

[Q] Some questions about Desire and custom ROM's

Hi guys.
Well I managed to get root access to my phone which wasn't really hard. And I managed to s-off and backup my files successfully. Now I'd like to deal with the internal memory issue. The question I want to ask you is this one.
If I create 2 partitions with gparted, one fat32 and second ext4 (around 2 gb's), will the ext4 one be considered as internal memory too ?
Then I'd like to install a custom ROM. So the second question is, can all ROM's the internal memory that way. I mean the custom part from the SD card ?
If something is unclear just ask, cause English is not my primary language.
Thanks in advance.

It should be that every ROM has it's own requirements for doing that.

So not every ROM can use approximately 2 GB for internal memory ?
That's what you're saying ?

Yes, for example I use 3GB on my SuperNova ROM, but recommended is 2GB so now I am trying to repair that. If you get me.
Kapiras? xD

Euh, if you ask me I would say it's part of internal memory (when you remove it the apps on ext4 don't work anymore) but i'm not a dev so not sure though
you can see it as an extension to your internal storage capacity..
next, most of the systems to use your ext4 are already included in roms (A2SD, D2EXT) so you don't have to worry about that, they recognise the partition themselves
the only thing you should be aware of is that you pick the right HBoot (don't flash CM7 HBOOT A2SD on a STOCK HBOOT A2SD)
this is normally explained in most ROM posts but i guess with a 2GB part you should be fine for A LOT of different ROMs
extra: there is a nice pic near the end of THIS post what is shifted to the ext partition when you use a certain method
grtz

So like with an app A2SD when not rooted, you can move apps to SD, but when you remove it, part's of it remain in the memory on the SD card.
The link you gave me is for "AD2SDX Special Edition for Sebastiaan15 RunnyMede Desire ROM", exactly what I want to install.
So first I create partitions with gparted. Fully wipe my sd card.
Flash the rom, then flash that AD2SDX zip file.
And it should work fine ?
Thanks for answering mate.

well, with the last version of sebastian15 for CM7 there's no need to flash the AD2SDX zip file, now it comes as an option during install (you'll see )
thus, first you make 2 partitions 1 ext4 of min 1024MB (mine is that size but you can do more if you'd like) an the rest of the sdcard is fat32 .. (mine: 7GB)
then download the right rom (check HBOOT, i have CM7R2 so i can install AIO v1), with Hboot its version 5.3 and you still have to flash the AD2SDX zip if you want it (A2SD is good enough for me )
oh right, don't forget a full wipe

An external partition has nothing to do with hboot.

The only worse thing than people not helping are people helping wrong. This thread is a failure on so many levels that human vocabulary just can't cut it.

Then why don't you help me, or just point me in a right direction ?
Thanks for the answers.

Because information you seeks are essential to know before you attempt to root.

FYI, I have successfully rooted my phone.
And I have managed to install the desired ROM.

And one more question.
I have managed to make 2 partitions.
Fat32 (5,5 gb) and ext4 (2,2 gb), yet the phone recognizes only 5.5 as the SD memory. And the 2,2 are not usable ATM.
What should I do ?

Reading your last comment I can't imagine how could you possibly root it successfully on your own.

GTFO of my thread.

Zealotic, terepin is right in a way. You show no understanding of the ext partition, or flashing, or ROMs. It will never show up. Because it is a separate partition. You'll only ever see the fat32 partition in your phone under sd storage. You need to do some research before you attempt any of this.

No one said that he's not right. He's just acting like he's a god or something.
I'm just a newbie. And guess what. I managed to get 1.5 gb internal storage too.

Do you actually need the swap partition? Maybe you should just try to get link2sd running first.
And did you create your ext4 partition as a primary partition behind your fat32 partition? You could also try to use ext2 instead of ext4.

Problem
Ext4 is primary of course, ext2 not so quick as ext4, so what i shoul do?
So I have another one question, does Widfire s supported ext4, i use eoghan kernel for android 4, and custom rom by djoliver

I had the same problem, I had a 32gb memory sd card so I thought 16gb for data and 16gb for music, BUT I folowed the tutorial and I found out the the mini partition tool box ruined my memory card... So I got a diffrentsd card, went into CWM recovery and If you go into the advance u will see something like partisioning. So if u go in that and select all u want and that should work... try to create 1gb or less... Since more than 1gb doesn't seen to be working well. After its done reboot and go to link2sd and it will see the partision so then u can select... ;D
Good Luck

P.S. Delete the curent 2nd partision before doing it, delete it with mini tool. If u want to see some magic flash data2sd.zip and u should see that the partision will be made as the internal memory and it will go there instead of linking ;D

Question
Thanks James I ll try it, but what the ext number created in recovery? EXT2? Or another?
Sd card wil formated?

Amm... I think ext2, but its better than nothing
P.S.: EXPLORE the recovery mode and you will find out more

Thanks
Thanks I do this

Can't you just use the Partition Wizard in ClockworkMod Recovery? Let's you choose your EXT size (upto 4GB) and a swap size (which i usually do 0M)...
Gl.

I also got the same problem with minitool partition wizard...ita useless in my case. So i tried partitoning with cwm which u cando by selecting partition sd card in advanced menu...it creates an ext2 partition. I suggest you to use cronmod's INT2EXT script as it seems far more better and easy than link2 sd!
Hit that "THANKS" button if i helped you...

If you use a INT2EXT Flashable mod, then also partition from the Recovery too

Help/Advice regarding partitioning

Hello bros, i just want advice on partitioning. i have a 8 gb SD card and i want to do 3 partitions. one for swap (ram) one for internal (move fixed apps like facebook to sd) and the last one for my normal use pics, music etc. i just want to know that is this possible ?

Easiest way to partition SD card (at least for me) is with twrp recovery: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/primou/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-primou.img
You find "Partition SD" under Advanced
However:
- for swap use Turbo Boost: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 or SwapItOn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182 - so you don't need a partition for swap :highfive:
- best (and fastest) is to leave all apps where they are. Specially if you still have free space. If you're running out of space, OK, move some to SD. Read here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...all-apps-internal-memory-external-memory.html and http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...r-store-my-apps-my-phones-memory-sd-card.html - so, actually, you don't need that partition too :highfive:

hey so partition did not worked.
first i tried the twrp recovery method and it showed partition failed several times
then i tried mini tool partition from pc through sd card reader. i could create the first partition the one with out problem. but when attempted the second partition for my internal storaga, it said windows do not support the second partition, i continued never the less but again when i opened link2sd, it did not read my second (ext2) partition instead it read my main one fat32 and it said that it could not link my sd with ext2/3/4 only fat 32 .... any idea whats happening ? and i could not get turbo boost mod, instructions arent clear enough ..
does it have something to do with my custom rom/ kernel ?

Well, like it said on Link2SD app description: You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.
The first FAT partition is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
Some phones lack the ext2, ext3 or ext4 file system support and you may get mount errors like "no such device", "invalid argument". These phones need ext2.ko or ext3.ko modules and even some additional modules to be able to mount. Using FAT32 on the second partition will eleminate such problems, because FAT32 is supported on all phones.
Try partitioning on pc using: http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/ or http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html or some other program, just make partition FAT32
Regarding Turbo Boost: just put zip file on your SD card, install it through TWRP and follow on screen instructions... :fingers-crossed:
