[Q] leedroid please help!! problems with 3.0 gb

to lee droid hello.
i am a "silent admirer". i have a rooted desire and i use only leedroid roms for more then a year. as always i never had any problems with any of the roms and install them all without wipe at all.
about a month ago i installes v. 2.3.
today i saw the thread about the new version 3.0 gb and downloaded the following files: 1. 3.0 gb leedroid rom.
2. the new radio ...56....
3. the ext3 file.
after downloading i checked the md5 of the first two files and found it OK.
i backed up my 16 gb sd and tried to install the 3.0 tom via rom manager.
the thing is that i believe that the rom was install OK but the rom did not go up and my desire got stuck with the dumb green "htc".
thereafter i restored the system which went well and tried again - this time with file and cach wipe.
again - all seems to go well but did not load.
tried to install the ext3 file - went ok but did not load.
from that moment i got really worried but nothing i tried (deleating the sd card and copying from backup) or thought i know didnt work and now i am the proud owner of stupid green "htc" screen.
please help

p.s. i couldt read all the 53 pages of your thread so if anybody already got an answer - please send me there.

I had this same issue.
It seems that although I originally partitioned my SD card as ext3 at some point without me knowing the partition got changed to ext4 I really can't explain how as I never messed with partitions after I initially set them up.
if the EXT3 fix is not working for you try booting into gparted and checking the partition there. as soon as I did that and realized it had been changed to ext4 I deleted the partition and made a new ext3 patition and it worked flawlessly after that.

"try booting into gparted and checking the partition there"
where? when? who?
can you you be more gentle? i booted milion times and never heard of "gpart" (it is a secret socaity)?

it's a live cd that you boot into on your PC to partition the SD card with a ext3 partition.
just google gparted live cd
You need to verify that the second partition on your sd card is in fact ext3 or leedriod will not load

i have to burn it or ghost-burn it or just download it and transfer to my desire?

like i said in my previous post you need to boot into on your PC.
I have to ask how did you originaly partition your SD card?

dear larkspeed:
i did all you have suggested but the gparted (or the regular win 7) was unable to recognize the sd card at all.
i did recognize all the other harddisks on my computer. it is probably because of the ext4 and now i cannot delete it. (also i hardly can operate the phone - only basic functions).
what sould i do now?

Windows will not see ext4 at all but it will see the partition itself so you can delete and remake it.
Gparted should have seen it just fine and let you reformat it to ext3
However if neither windows or gparted can see the partitions on the card then it's very possible the card itself has a fault.
Stupid question but when you loaded gparted you did use the drop down in the upper right corner of the window to actually select your sd card right?
if not then you were looking at primary hard drive only

yes i did several times. you have to move with "tab" and keboard because the mouse does not work there.
if the sd card have a fault, should i format it or erase it totally or something?

if you are totaly sure you have a ext partition on that card you will need to delete that partition either with windows **** manager or gparted
if you just format the card it will only format the partition it can see which will be the fat32 partition.
Now I assume you are putting the micro sd into some kind of adapter to plug it into the PC.
Now I have 2 options for this a USB stick that the micro sd plugs into or a micro sd to sd adapter plugged into an internal card reader which plugs into a USB header on my motherboard.
both of these systems work fine for me.
if gparted is not seeing the card at all then I would think whatever system you are using to plug the card into your PC is not supported.
I have to ask when you plug the card in when in windows what size does it say the "removable drive" is?

1. i gparted the sd card into main fat 32 partition about 12 gb and 1.6 gb ext3 partition
2. i cloesd the program after compleating that and the device informed me that the sd card is damaged and needs formating
3. i formated it and moved the leedroid 3.0.
4. it refused to go into recovery because lacking .update.zip file so i copied that too.
5. i installed the 3.0 but i won't go.
6. what to do? give it up?

all I can suggest is to try a different SD card and see if it works then.

[Q] Missing 2nd Partition on my tablet...

Hi.. First of all I am new to this forum (actually a semi-noob on android stuffs) and I don't even know if I posted on the right thread (If I did please let me know or delete it or move it to where it should be and I'm sorry).
I've been searching for a while all over the internet to find a solution on how to recover the missing 2nd partition on the internal storage of my tablet but I can't seem to find a solution. How did I end up missing my 2nd partition? I think this is what happened:
1.) I installed a custom rom (cm10) on my shw-m180s, and it worked fine at first. I was able to download apps until my internal phone storage got full so I decided to make a partition on cwm (so that I can put some data files and apps there by using link2sd).I went to recovery mode then I put 2gb as ext and swap file as 256mb (if I'm not mistaken) because I have a 16gb internal sd card (I don't have external sd card though), after that, I rebooted then checked if I am able to use the ext part but I was not so sure so what I did was to do a full wipe and deleted everything (data,cache,dalvik cache, other format options on storage) then reflashed the original stock rom.
2.) Now I manage to use my stock rom and checked if I managed to restore the 2gb ext, but no, it didn't show on my internal memory. It only shows 14gb (or 12.68gb to be exact). So clearly the 2gb just went to some place I don't know where exactly and I don't think it was completely gone maybe just hidden somewhere in my tablet. I installed link2sd to check the partitions and it says that SD Card 2nd Partition not found.
3.) Tried to reformat the sd card through laptop (even used minitool partition but that too didn't work) and now I am stuck. I can't seem to find a way to recover that 2gb internal memory.
Hoping to find some answer here in xda where there are lots of experts and good people that helps others.
Have a nice day everyone.

[Q] Impossible to partition my new micro sd card 64gb

Hello, i have a problem with my Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 (GT-P3110) with omni-4.4.4-20140820-p3110-NIGHTLY rom installed.
I have bought a SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS IT - MB-MPCGC EU (Samsung microSDXC 64GB Class 10 ) micro sd card and I used it out of the box in my PAD without need to format it.
(in Storage i have found it under SD CARD tab (Total Space 58.45 GB not sure if this is ok) but i don't have the option for Formatting it (only Unmount and after it Erase or Mount)
I can see it with Windows 7 via USB MTP mode and copy files on it but not formatting it
I have tested this card with Sdtools and Sdcardtester on the tab without any problem
Now my problem is that i want to use Link2sd to move my apps on the Sd card but i have no way to make the 2 needed partitions on the it
I have tried to see if Mini Tool Partition would able to see the card from the tab's USB in MTP mode without success, i have tried to use a Sd card reader directly on my Pc with the same result (with another microd sd i was able to have it connected in Windows but this card is only 4 gb)
I have tried this also on a different PC without any luck
I tried to make partition on the card in recovery mode (tried with TWRP_2.7.1.2 and PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.57.5 and CWM_6.0.5.0) but in none of the 3 i have found the Partition SD card option inside the Advanced menu...
So after trying everything i'm lost
If anyone have any advice or can give me any help on this i will appreciate it

See the before site for a tool for partitioning sdcards. Partitioning sdcards will erase all data on the card.

With Aparted (found in the Google Play store) i was able to check the card file system (the app told me that was FAT32 ) and to make 2 partitions
1 Fat32 and 1 ext4 but i still have all the same problems as before also with Link2sd not letting me move apps from the internal memory to the sd but only link them

I was thinking that my english was so bad that i was misunderstanding your first post
I tried that program before but it is not working for me cause i can't get the sd card working in Windows so i can't format it there
Still i was able to solve the big part of my problem because with Aparted launched on the tablet i made the 2 partitions requested from Link2sd to use the function Create Link that will help me a lot
Now i just need to know the best size to have in the 2 partitions. I'm still unable to move all the app but maybe sooner or later someone will find a solution to this .

Your English is just fine
The dying honestly depends on what files you need on your sdcard compared to the source the apps you plan to move to your sdcard will take up. I'd either make them both 32GB or one 16 gb and one 48 gb, the larger one obviously for whichever partition needs to be bigger.

Partitioned sdcard not being read properly

Hello all. Not sure if this question has ever been posed but I have a problem that deserves the attention of the pros here at XDA. I recently purchased a tablet with Android 5.1.1 lollipop with 16gig internal storage and 1gig of ram. After loading the device up with apps I started noticing that I was rapidly running out of room. I installed a 32gig sdcard formatted as fat32. After rooting the device and installing Link2sd I came to find out that this would only work with an ext partition. So I reformatted the card with two partitions, the first being in fat32 and the second in ext4. So far the device seems to be running pretty smoothly and was able to link all app files to the sdcard via link2sd. The problem here is when I check the storage in the system settings it shows all of the available space in the fat partition as expected. When I check the storage in link2sd, es file explorer, or any of the other file manager apps, it shows that there is only 502meg available on the sdcard. I was wondering if anyone here would be familiar with a problem like this and could advise me as to what I could do to fix this. Thanks
