oooh i think i can answer this one!
go in to CWM and check your mounts...the sdcard needs to be mounted?
Did you use the RFS formatter?
thanks for the replies! but the mount thing wont work for i cant even go into recovery cwm! and uhm whats a rfs formatter? is it in odin?
Check drhonk's Bali 3.1 thread. In the post, there's a link to download rfs_format.zip. If logic serves me right, it'll format your phone back to rfs completely.
You just need to flash it via krylon360's CWM. Make sure you read the OP for directions though.
THANKS BRO!!! wait will it in any way like just change my phones rom?
alright, i cant place anything on my card -___- (god bless me) and uhm should i just place it in another sd card and flash it and try again?

I know this may be a stupid question, the G2X did not come with an SD Card, so is there a way to flash a custom ROM without an SD Card?

Yes there is!! Go over to the development section and read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 you would have to.
1.root
2.install INTERNAL recovery via nvfash
3. Flash away...
Internal recovery will let you flash stuff in the g2x internal storage..thus eliminating the need of sd card.
G2X
Yep. Flash the latest internal SD version of cwm in the Dev section

NvFlash has been updated to use internal or external by Krylon360!
Read some more!
.....
Kept reading, and did not see anything about internal...and if I wanted a ROM, I would have to place it on the SD Card, I am just going to get one of the Gingerbread ROM's, but my question is, how is the battery life, is it still horrible? Can someone post a video tutorial about how to internal recovery via nvfash? Internal recovery is Clockwork Mod Recovery Correct? I am coming from installing custom ROMS on the HTC HD2, so I am not new to this, but I would like a video step by step, and even if I get that far, I have to put the ROM I want on the SD Card which I do not have, in order to flash it....
Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I have the correct video and info, so I do not brick my phone
Hello wonderful sgs4g community, i hope you are all excited about all our new stuff as i am. Anyways now that drhonk has built ext4 into our kernel we can now go ahead and do SOME ext4 mods. here is the guide on how to create an ext4 partition so that you can use the link2sd app so:
A:you can have an ext4 sdcard filesystem
B: create more internal space for your apps(takes away even more bloat)
Here is what you will need:
A computer
MICRO ADAPTER or USB CABLE to plug into the computer
drhonks new 2.1 bali kernel
mini tool partition wizard(or any other program that does this) you can find it here: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button
link2sd apk you can find that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
Now go ahead and mount your sdcard to computer with the micro adapter
go into mini tool and click on your sdcard
press move/resize
go ahead and resize from 256mb 512mb or 1g off from your original size
THE UNALLOCATED WILL BE THE SIZE OF YOUR NEW PARTITION
now go to the unallocated amount and press create partition
make sure that you do ext4 and make sure it is PRIMARY not logical!!!
press apply!
bam you go ext4
now put your sdcard back in and go to link2sd
it will tell you to go into recovery and mount your sdcard
sooooo
go into cwm and go to mounts and storage then make sure you have your sdcard say UNMOUNT
reboot
go back into link2sd and click ext4 when it pops up,
NOW move all the files THAT ARE NOT SYSTEM FILES(which it wont let you do anyways) and your all done
afterwards you should have from 375mb to 440mb of free internal space
have fun
Thanks to:
Fknfocused for pushing me to do this
drhonk for the kernel ext4 patch
wizard(i saw he did the link2sd first so i decided to do it)
and the rest of the community for being awesome
Thanks brotha! im doing this right now.

it doesnt effect app2sd and to be honest you dont need app2sd after you do this trick, and im not positive about widgets i think they might be safe though
Uhh thank you for posting my name there )) well it works ... if you guys want and know how to use linux u can do it from there too ... if anyone needs help ley me know ...
Link2sd is only way I thought off to check if kernel mounts ext4 ...damn glad about that faulks

ok i did something all wackey... lol for some reason i can only see 1.89 gb of my sd card on my phone and on mini tool partition it shows that i have 12 gb in fat32 and 1.89 gb unallocated. there is nothing i can figure out on how to get the two partitions of the sd card to join back together. even the minitool thinks they are two seperate devices. does anyone know what i can do to fix this and start over from the beginning? sorry guys im a linux newbie but i am having fun while learning.
So will this work also on drhonks uv version too?

Hold power and both buttons on the volume rocker until the phone reboots. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of power, but keep holding the rocker down. This boots you into recovery.

Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Well still no luck. After the back up says complete, this is the log info.
No/sdcard/.android_secure found.
Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd - ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete.
so I reboot the phone after that, went into cwm and there's no backup from the back up list. :/

Have you recently tried to move any files between your SD card and PC? Sometimes cards can become corrupted, or certain files at least can also become bad and not read. The more you mount and unmount the more degraded it gets. If you tried to delete any files, did you accidentally delete something from your internal SD?
Not that I'm aware of. When I get home ill try transferring a small file over. As far as the internal SD card its fine.

If you booted into CWM using the EZ Recovery app then you would notice that you can manually save backups to either sd card.

It might also be that you don't have your external card formatted to fat32. CWM doesn't like the exFat format that I believe all big cards come in.

If your talking about rom manager then yea thats normal!
On a side note, I recomend flashing files manually in CWM recovery...you would not believe how many threads I have helped folks get out of a softbrick or bootloop situation by flashing with rom manager. The app works great, but you still need to know the background information on what your flashing! To many people think since they can pull the file up on RM, it must be compatible, or they flash with the wrong recovery = soft brick! Part of the main reason my guide is written in its fashion...provides proper instructions to flash, makes one read a bit, and repeats its self to pound the info into ones head. Not tryin to preach to ya, just wanted to share some possibly useful info to yourself and others. thx
I was wondering the same about saving to external from rom manager. So our only option it looks like is to boot to recovery and manually go to save it to the external sd?

If you mean when you're on the CWM and try to do anything you get an error that the SD can't be mounted, then I'm afraid you will need to take the phone back to stock mode and go up until the version you were running when the issue happened.
If you search over Google with the exact error you will find lots of solutions, even here on XDA, but I wasn't able to get it work (it happened to me once) and I solved it by doing what I just mentioned above.
Good luck with this!
