Hi Everyone,
I want to format my internal sd to ext4, at some extent I was successful in doing so, as I used mke2fs command to format internal sd, and it work fine while I was in TWRP recovery, partition format shown ext4 there as checked by cat /proc/mounts.
But the problem starts when booted to OS, there was a notification at fastlane saying "your internal memory is damaged and needs to be formatted again". so after many failed attempts I again formatted the partition with vfat, this there were no issues on booting to OS.
Can someone help me got it working, I am on stock Nokia X rom.
Thanks

Dear ALL,
I have problem in restoring original partitions on my DIAMOND.
I've tried ANDROID (still pretty slow) on EXT2 partiton created on Internal Storage, but i want to restore original partitions.
I thought that there was only 1 FAT32 partition for all the storage so I did that, but when i did so i'm unable to flash ROMS from Internal Storage. It says "No Image File!" and trigers USB flashing.
Could some one please explore your dimond in partitioning tool and paste screenshots with original info (number of partitions, type of partitons, filesystem)?
Thank you
Actually, there is only one partition and it worked just fine for me. I used Minitool Partition Magic Home and it worked just fine.
Just delete the scrambled name partition in there,create a new one with fat32 and full space and name it to whatever you want and wait for it to finish.
After removing the cable, try rebooting the phone and plugging it in with the "Disk drive" option activated. The partition should show up.

Originally there's only one FAT32 partition,but sometimes the phone wouldn't recognize it,that happened to me too,download HP Usb Format Tool (you can google it,you'll find it certainly),Then with it you have to format the internal storage to fat32,it fixed for me
I have an 8GB SanDisk MicroSD, it had a 500MB SD-EXT partition made using ROM Manager with 0MB of Swap. I was using OpenDesire, the latest version.
However I decided to change to Cynanogen 6.1.1, as it is more stable. I decided to Un-Mount and Format my SD Card, as I know this wont format my SD-Ext. After Formatting my SD Card wouldn't re-mount so I connected it to my computer, and formatted it again, by right clicking and clicking Format in My Computer.
After doing this it said I had 7.86 GB of Memory on my SD-Card. This is how much is left on the SD Card with no Partition's or data. After I installed Cynanogen, when wiping the user data, I noticed that it said there was no SD-Ext partiton, and so it couldn't format it. I immidiatley went back to ROM Manager to create one, however when it gets to the Clockwork MOD Part I just get a error about a signature or something? Can anyone please help - thanks!
Perhaps the format option under settings wiped the whole SD card and repartitioned it with a single FAT partition, therefore deleting the EXT partition. Format from within windows/linux in future. AFAIK, there would not be an ext on a stock rom and therefore no need for one, so the format option just goes ahead an obliterates.
If you've got a nandroid you could just repartition and restore.
Sounds like it just formatted the whole thing into a single partition. Just partition it back again as your really suppose to do when switching roms.
hi! this is really doing my head in.
I have a 16gb card, im using gpart on ubuntu to partition the card as follows:
fat32: 13.53
ext4: 1
ext4: 299mib
swap: 108mib
after my phone doesnt recognise it, i cant turn the phone on, i cant flash anything in recovery because of an "e can't mount" error.
when i plug it into windows it says it need to be formatted, and if i go to disk manager and try formatting the fat32 part it ends up formatting the 1gb ext4 so when i set everything up on my phone i only have 1gb sdcard space!!
if anyone can let me know why this is all happenning i would greatly appreciate it! is there something im missing in the process?
thanks.
EDIT: the system does boot but it says i have a blank sd
then i get a notification saying: UIDs on the system are inonsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
with a button that says: i'm feeling lucky :L
You only need 2 partitions. 1 extra and 1 fat32. Fat32 needs to be the first primary partition and extra needs to be the second primary partition. You don't need a swap either. You could just boot into recovery and do it in there but that's only ext3 but you could still use gparted to upgrade it to ext4.

Just partition it in recovery to fat + 1ext partitions, then download SD align tool from Baadnewz blog which will align ext partition and will convert it to ext4

Hi Community,
Got a Desire where I've rooted it with Unrevoked3 yesterday. Unrevoked worked fine, without any issues as usual.
Then had 8GB sdcard formatted and partitioned to EXT3 and FAT32. Loaded a custom ROM on the FAT partition and booted to Recovery. Wiped all and install ROM and rebooted, ended up with the same ROM. Did this a couple of times and then memory card could not be mounted to phone.
Memory card still reads fine on PC when loaded to a memory card reader. Tried the same card in Desire HD, same thing, cannot mount.
Anyone seen this issue before?
Got a 2GB card in the Desire now and it reads fine, even on the DHD.
Your help is appreciated.
Try to re-format the Sdcard using Gparted or MiniTool Partition.
Note : u should create a Fat32 partiton first (type primary) and then an Ext2.3.4 (also primary)
Thanks for the reply aca.
I've reformatted a couple of times now (redoing the partitions and then making the whole card a Primary FAT32), was still not showing.
The card was reading before it started to play up. There are a few messages displaying in Recovery when doing a wipe though.
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)
EDIT: Did format it again, making sure sdcard was formatted for primary FAT32 and EXT3. Still no good.
Hi, get an Sd adaptor and a digital camera, format it trough the camera and it will probably be fine, or alternatively do a low level format with one of the tools available (just google low level format tool).
Hey dudes,
accidentially i formatted /system in f2fs, TWRP crashed and since then its gone.
gyazo.c o m/d977dd6dfe5d4e2f78f10ac2f0695609
Thats the output of the fstab file
I see no way how to restore partitions, just for SD card, someone knows what to do?

TWRP / Wipe / Advanced Wipe / Format Data
Reboot Recovery
Flash a Rom
If that doesn't work you'll need a RUU.zip
rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.
I tried to install a RUU but i have not renamed it to 0PJAIMG and pushed it on the device
anyway, i got help by the #twrp IRC channel, i formatted the /system partition with ext4 via adb again, because it was emmc (there was no filesystem on it) and not f2fs.
