[Q] Formatting sd card problem

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

[Q] sd card transfer

im running bootmanager on my 8gb sd card and its full can i transfer all the data i have onto my 16gb sd card? will the roms still work? and what about the apps i have backed up with titanium backup will they all be safe?

Yes. Best to MD5 before and after to make sure it copies correctly.

you think all the dada will be good?

I've copied between SD cards in the past without a problem. I just attached the phone to my Windows PC in Disk Drive mode, copied all the files to the PC, swapped SDs and swapped back. Save the 8GB card and don't wipe it until you're sure everything copied over fine.

As long as you haven't created an ext partition, you shouldn't have any problems copying from sd to sd.

And what if you did copy files over from a SD card with a ext3 partition to your PC? Can you elaborate a little more?

From my understanding, when you partition your SD card, you essentially split your memory card's capacity by the size of the ext partition. So when you mount your sd card for the purpose of backing up your memory card, you're only backing up the disk drive portion. You'll need to use ROOT EXPLORER or a file manager app that can access your phone's sd-ext folder.
On second thought, you should just do a NANDROID and be sure to include your sd-ext partition. Then boot into recovery. Create a new sd-ext partition (same size as the previous one) and copy the NANDROID folder over to your new SD card along with the disk drive backup.
Then restore your nand.

try partition your SD from clockworkmod to 1GB external 0M swap then go to play store and install link2sd.
partitioning SDcard give you virtual 2 SD's. 1 of them, 1GB ext3 partition can be used as internal memory with link2sd. just select all apps and click create link... you will get so much memory. i have installed more than 100apps.

do not need to return your sdcard
because，now 2G you can not see it，but still can use。you can link2sd or data2sd，very useful。

[Q] Strange SD card problem

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:

[Q] How to do a repartition?

My SD card is 2GB. I have one big partition (about 1.7GB) and another ext4 partition for INT2EXT scripts...
So, how can I make to have 2 partitions: one about 1.5GB and the other one 0.5GB?
I have to shrink bigger partition and extend the smaller one somehow...
And I don't have card reader.

With minitool partition you can resize partitions while saving their data (if all goes right-so do a backup anyway)

Ok, but I heard that I need card reader or it'll brick the SD card... Is that true?

It will create another partition, so I'll have 3 partitions. That's not what i want.

R: [Q] How to do a repartition?
You can use a USB card reader or a MicroSD reader; for sure you can't use your phone as bridge for mounting sd card.
