Hello.
When i try to add formatting partition in updater script, something goes wrong...
After formatting /system - ACE II won't boot at all. Recovery (CWM) fails too format that partition too...
Updater binary of custom ROM based on stock Jelly Bean requires 3 parameters (it fails if there is more or less), so i put something like that:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
There is no error during installation, but after installing - phone hangs...
Only Odin helps...
I know that guys use format command in updater script of our CM10(.1) ROMs, with more parameters:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0", "/system");
But as i said - there can't be more parameters in stock JB roms..
So - is there any possibility to format /system, /data and /cache during installation of ROM?
How does recovery do the formatting??
Do you install system again after formatting?

I tried, but it's impossible to do it.
As I said before, only Odin helps

If you formt system partiion it is clear that phone wont boot. In same package include new system folder. Like flashing rom...

I'm afraid i don't understand what you wrote.
BUT: when i format /system via recovery - AND then - flash my ROM, there is no problem. But if i format via script - nothing helps (even format via recovery).
BUT when i tried to format /data via script - phone won't boot, but format via recovery helps...
So i suspect that something is missing when partitions are formatted during installation (in updater-script).
So if i get it
ROM+uptader-script format = no boot
ROM+recovery format = boot
Exactly

Are u sure you put "format" command before extracting and mounting system ?
Sent from my GT-I8160
Try
Code:
ui_print("Formatting system");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/preload/symlink/system/app");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
It might not be the most pretty method, but it will delete all folders in system (effectively formatting it) and no one will know the difference :victory:
Or use the updater binary from the cm roms and see if that works
Are you sure if recursive delete (I'm using it of course) /system will delete all subfolders?
I think it delete ONLY all files in /system.
To make it similar to format I'd have to put entry for every subfolder of /system partition

Yes, recursive instructs it to repeat itself for every folder found in a folder until its emptied out
Without recursive it would only do files

Preparation
(1) Backup all apps with Titanium Backup
(2) Backup sdcard to the pc
(3) Fullwipe
(4) Flash stock rom to get rid of all possible points of failure
(5) copy Madteam cwm to sdcard
(6) start stock recovery -> start cwm via update.zip
(7) partition sdcard with cwm -> ends up with sdcard fat32 partition and 1024MB ext3 partition (as I chose)
(8) copy sdcard backup from pc to fat32 partition, including merruks 2.0 kernel
(9) flash merruk 2.0 via cwm
Setup
(10) boot up phone, initial setup, install link2d
(11) choose link2sd mount script ext3
(12) after reboot there is a link2sd script in /etc/init.d
(13) modify script: add 2 lines at the end of the script:
rm -r /sd-ext
ln -s /data/sdext2 /sd-ext
this links link2sd standart path /data/sdext2 to /sd-ext
(14) Install and restore all apps with Titanium Backup
(15) use link2sd to move apps to second partition -> "Create Link"
(16) check /sd-ext with root file explorer to see if apps get moved correctly

as for mine i stop at step 11 because it worked already without modifying scripts..
my point is ext4, i just read in merruk you need to flash ext4 using CWM,, because ext4 is a zip file,,
is ext4 is same as ext3 ext2,,
i have already ext3 running using a2sd,

Its not for the sd card.. Your mentioning ext2/3 for the 2nd partition of sd card.. Flashing ext4.zip wipes data and cache and converts it to ext4 from rfs.. It increases performance but a noticeable little battery drain..

Its simple. After having your desired custom ROM flashed you can apply merruk kernel with ext4.
1) Flash the merruk kernel using kernel updater or using odin(refer merruk topic)
2) Flash ext4 . It wipes the data and cache.
3) You need to flash your custom rom/stock ROM now as youll get boot loops
4) If you still encounter bootloops after flashing stock/custom ROM, flash the merruk kernel again.
5) Reboot and check the kernel version in settings->About phone and make sure its merruk 2.0
6) Thats it. Profit
I recently upgraded my phone from Stock 2.3.6 to Maclaw 4.0.4. I accidently flashed the ROM twice using CWM 5.0.2.6 without mounting my SD Card (/sdcard)(Not sure if it is important). Anyway, after Wiping data/Factory reset and wiping the Dalvik Cache, I rebooted my phone. After a successful reboot, It displayed a message saying "Encryption Unsuccessful" with a Reset button (which basically didn't do anything). What I did trying (Hopelessly) (using CWM) to remove this error was:
- Re flashing the ROM
- Formatting the sdcard and partitioning again
- Formatting everything (/system /data ....) and re-flashing
- Removing the battery (Hopelessly )
And with every step I re-wiped data and dalvik and rebooted with the same error.
I am thinking of restoring the stock rom and then re-installing this ROM but I'm not sure if it will be useful.
So any suggestions?

Any Idea how to push the needed file to this folder via ADB?
Not again! First full wipe then flash ext4- formatter.zip then flash rom.

From where do I download ext4-formatter.zip?
ext4-formatter.zip says (Status 6) Installation aborded
Note that I'm moving from stock 2.3.6 to 4.0.4. Does this matters?

Where are you getting the ext4 formatter file from? If it wasn't designed or compiled specifically for the Galaxy Gio, it may not work. Have you tried the file found on this thread? It may be rare, however the ext4-formatter.zip file you downloaded could have become corrupted. If the file on the link above doesn't work, google 'Galaxy Gio ext4 Formatter' and some results should pop up.
Or instal phiexz cm7.2 there is his ext4 formatter inside :screwy:

Hi all,
I have a sony Xperia M (C1905). Till some days ago I have the old android release with rooted access and link2sd. All worked good.
With the last 4.3 update I had some problems, since I'm not an expert android developer . However I managed to root my phone using the haresh311999 guide.
I have my phone rooted, checked also with Root checker. I've also SuperSu, BusyBox and Link2Sd app. I've enabled the debug mode and checked the MSC storage mode.
But in Link2sd I cannot mount my external partition in which I used to link all the bigger apps. I've an ext3 partition and before the 4.3 upgrade it worked good. Now If I try to rebuild the script I got an error:
Mounting script cannot be created (This string isn't the original one, since I'm not english).
"mount: Operation not supported on transport endpoint"

I've found in the forum that I should try this procedure but with adb I can't run adb mount or adb root:

You can try to set second partition with FAT32,,

Also my ext3 was working good.
I don't want to lose all the data in the partition...
If there are some fixes I prefer to try before format it... Now I just had an idea: I can try to do another partition with the minitool and try if there is only a filesystem problem...
must be ext4 on my working fine and fast
and i got bootloop :/
Root device clean partition and create new and mount script should be ok

Well, I am sure you must be using Link2Sd to mount games/applications on your Xperia.
Mind if I suggest that you can use FOLDER MOUNT
FOLDER MOUNT LINK
This is amazing little software which requires root but it doesnot do anything more than telling games where to find the OBB files.
In free version, you can mount upto 3 games where as in full version, you can use unlimited mounts!
Check it out and you wouldnot use Link2SD any more

Same problem on a different device... solution: in Link2SD, choose EXT4 (even if the 2rd partition is actually EXT2/3).
This worked for me, and I didn't lose any data in the EXT2 partition. No reformatting needed.

I couldn't believe that.
Will ext partitions work on our XM?
I had tried many times.
boot loop was the result :crying:
I had formatted all types of ext versions. no hope.
Now I am using Memory Swap (JB 4.3)
but still I want Link2SD to be worked.
I have Link2SD Pro App.
Will Link2SD work with swapping?
Now I have been using "nicky root" for rooting, since its a "full root" method.
I have a reserve of 5GB for second partition; not formatted.
Please guide me......
I have a LG L65, had the same problem, but could fix it
Hi, guys.
I have a LG L65 running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. I had the same problem. My phone was rooted (using towelroot), my SD Card was partitioned, but couldn't get the mount script. I tried what some of you said about creating an ext2 partition and choosing ext4 on Link2SD, and it worked.
Also, don't know if it matters or not, but I'll say it anyway; I was using FAT for my data partition, but switched to FAT32.
Great, ext4 did the trick. Thank you very much!

Thanks. Worked for me too..
Bootloop?
I did the ext4 option trick, but somehow now it just turns off suddenly after that and keeps looping at the boot until I remove the SD Card. Any tips?
PS: I also re-formatted the SD Card over to the ext4 format, and that didn't work either.

Hi,
I have rooted my one plus 3 recently by using TWRP, installed CM 13 Stable Sultan ROM and Google Apps and Super SU. Initially I have done the rooting with out wiping old data, after rooting I have faced finger print issue and heating issue and phone working is very slow. Then i thought of re rooting again so I took the back up of cache and system and data by using TWRP and after that i have wiped the data and cache and system then I flashed the CM 13 stable sultan ROM then after Google Apps and Super SU. Now the phn is working excellent but after some time I realized that the internal storage is reduced, initially it was 54 GB but now it was showing 24 GB. .
Can anyone tell me how to get my internal storage. I have not lost my data i have lost my internal space more specific.
Initially total space is 54 GB
After rooting it was showing total space as 24 GB.
Use mega unbrick tool it will reformat your device to factory state.

Yes, it will revert your phone to old Stock ROM and wipe data partition and internal storage.

This is happening when you run fastboot format command ! Just make a full wipe in twrp (whole userdata partition).
