I have a small problem
I formated my internal SD card using twrp and now it only thinks that it has only 2 GB on the SD card (but it really has 16gb)
Because of that I can't make any backups, is there any fix or I wasn't supposed to format the SD through recovery?
It seems formating the SD card through the phones format setting worked

Hi. I would like to know if i format my SD card, will this also wipe the ext3 partition? Will I have to re-partition the SD card after the format, or will it still be there?
Many Thanks
i was under the impression that a partition is treated as a different drive. so even if you format your SD card, it shouldn't touch any of the partitions created. like, you have SD card partition and ext 2-4. then only the SD card partition is formatted. of course i could be wrong and please let me know if that is so
As i saw, if you format with slow metod, it will delete also the partition..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
and the answer is..........
NO! Formatting your SD card will NOT WIPE YOUR EXT3 PARTITION Tried it last night, and i still have all my apps back on phone and also have 80.88 MB of internal (which is what i had before)
Whats the best way and format partition type for SD card for an HTC EVO?
I format mine in Recovery.
Use the SD Formatter from the SD Association...
You can mount your SD card in Android or the Recovery and use the SD Formatter.

Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.
Hi everyone!
I upgraded to CM 13, big problem was the fact that my Samsung Evo 64 GB SD card was not usable as internal storage or external. I entered recovery mode and wiped all to install Cloudy 2.5. I have an issue now, the sd card is not formatted in its own original filesystem, and after i tried to change it to exFat or ext4 it shows me a 15mb sd card, rather then a 64 GB one.
How do I fix this?
You can take your micro SD card, put it in the adapter and then plug it to your computer.
After that you can take a software like "minitool partition wizard" and use it to format the micro SD card.
I figured out the SD card problem , i couldn't fix it for nothing until i did this.
FOR ANYBODY THAT GETS STUCK AT 20% or any other sd card problem with 6.0 roms
1. Backup all files on SD card (This will delete everything on your sdcard)
2. Install minitool partition wizard
3. Remove all partitions from SD card with partition wizard (Do not reformat)
4. Place SD card into phone
5. Let the phone detect SD card and try to reformat
6. chose either Internal or Portable Storage
7. Enjoy because it works perfectly for me now.
btw. im running a LG G3 D850 ATT
