It may be a repeated thread so sorry.
I am trying to create a second partition for my LG P500. I have tried all four : ext2,3,4,FAT32 through Partition manager & CWM Recovery.
but whenever i am opening Link2SD there is a prompt saying select which partition i am using. whatever i am selecting ext2/FAT there is an error:
Mount Script error, Device or Resource busy.
Now i have deleted the partition and using the ROM without any 2nd partition.
Is there anything i can do more.
( If this is discussed in any other thread please paste the link please )
Thankx.
Hey guys, i'm running CWM recovery v6.0.4.7. In the recovery, i see many partitions under 'Mounts and storage' like:-
/boot
/system
/cache
/data
/persist
/firmware
/sns
/data and /data/media (/sd card)
Would someone care to explain what's inside these partitions and what are the risks if i format them ? Also can someone explain which all partitions are changed when i flash a ROM/kernel etc ?? Thankyou :good:
Hi there,
This thread here ( [REF] CWM - Clockworkmode menu options & Partitions– GENERAL KNOWLEDGE) gives you a lot of the information you are looking for. Though this is in the S2 section the principles are all the same so you can ask questions in that thread.
NO hope there
That thread was last updated in May. And i only want to know about /persist, /firmware, /sns more importantly, which i searched everywhere but could'nt find. Any help would be appreciated

I would suggest asking in the thread linked above.
Also asking here may be useful: Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Please keep in mind also that the partitions you are talking about are extremely important to the device, messing with these areas could lead to irreversible damage.
Yes i do understand that these partitions are vital for the proper functioning of my phone. But i would love to know which all partitions are changed when i flash a ROM. For eg: I formatted /boot partition once, but flashing a custom ROM immediately restored the necessary files and i was up and running again. Only later did i discover while reading a post that /boot partition consisted of the kernel and the RAMDISK, which is included in every ROM zip file.
Thank you and thread closed!
Hi need big help please...
After cleaning some virus in my mobile, I flashed stock ROM via SP Flash tools. Then the device was not showing my internal SD card. To recover the SD card, I accidently touched partition menu in TWRP.
twp recovery > partition sd card>Change value (EXT Swap/ swap size)
Now, my system OS is gone and internal memory show 0 mb.
If i try to Advanced wipe
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount Storage.
If i try to format -- type "yes" then data format failed.
Mount options for all is unchecked and cannot be checked.
please i need help step by step...

Oh...I have Xiaomi MI3 clone..basically it is MT6589 chipset. Currently I have only TWRP and adb working. As internal storage is gone, I cannot flash stock rom which I had back up. I search in other forums as well. Is it caused due to format of system and data partition?? If it is so, then please guide me how to get the partition back
Other info is, by TWRP File Manager, following files are seen inside /dev/block
Platform
Loop0 to loop7 (total 8 files)
mmcblk0
mmcblk0boot0
mmcblk0boot1
mmcblk0p1
Thanks.

...There was a mmcblk1, but that just seems to be the sd card. There were actual blocks labeled "system" and "userdata," but system didn't have anything and I can't figure out how to read userdata just yet. What's the partition that actually stores app data (or whatever the android equivalent is to the ~/.config directory) and the user home directory (where Documents/Downloads/Pictures/etc)?
