Partitioning Problem (Please help)

Hi there first of all sorry for my wrong section and double post but in general forum nobody helped me.
My problem is:i partitionate my 4gb sd card via cwm recovery(512 ext-256swap).
Format cache partiotions.(cwm)
Format sd card.(cwm)
After that i create a fs.data2sd with mmcblk0p2 insde in sdcard/android/data/g3mod.
I install link2sd application but when i start it it tell me that my ext is not mounter.
In Cwm recovery when i press mount sd-ext it gave me an error(i think is:``the file exists already`` or something like this).
In settings/storage my phone tell me i have a 3gb card...so i think partition is done succefully..
So can someone explain what i need to do further.
Thanks alot for you help and i am glad to be member of Xda!
edit:now my sd card is stucked at 3gb how can i extend it back to 4gb?
mod Edit : thread CLOSED u cant do a dual post u need to be patient when posting
use the general or the Q&A(this is a stiky)

Just unmount your card from SdCard and Internal space menu and then format it.
or else you can also format it from CWM recovery.

This is to format ur sd card to get the 3.6.....gb space back...
unmount it and then format it, or else format it using CWM.

First of all Mini partition is basically used to convert partition...
I'll tell you my way by which I create partition.
1. Boot into Recovery->advanced->partition SD card.
2.ext->256, swap-> 128 or 64.
3. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache....reboot.
4. phone will take 10 to 15 min.
This trick work on kyrillos 7, if you are on any other ROM like sumee 4 then just cope the fs.convert file in fugumod folder on sd card.
I tested this on both roms....you can check the app2sd partition on titanium back up as well as in internal memory in settings.
That's it man....enjoy.

Turn on USB debugging and then mount...
I don't know about df command buddy but you can see your a2sd partition in titanium backup.

usually to remove petitions on any sort of storage device, you will have to reformat the data from the petition. so just make a copy of all the files and reformat it

Ok I will try that. Should I reformat with using the phone or the computer?

assuming you have a custom recovery installed (like clockworkmod), you can re-partition your SD card from there quite easily.

I do but how do I re-partition it so that I have all my memory back on my sdcard. Also but I don't need to have it partition in order for me to be able to install roms and such do I?

Hi,
Use a card reader,and open it on your pc/laptop.
Use Control + A , Control + C .
This will copy all your files folders and hidden files,and paste them into a new folder on your desktop.
Go online and get "G-Parted Live" (google it).
Use this to delete partitions and format your sd card,then put everything back on it.

Rom Manager

One of my favorite features of rom manager is being able update nightlies. I purchased it back in my Dinc days and never looked back. I would like to use my sd card for backups, but the option to "Use External Storage" is greyed out. I am on the current premium version. Does anyone have an idea what is going on?
Side note, is it safe to flash ClockworkMod Touch recovery?

if you have anything bigger than a 32gb sd card you will need to format it to fat32.

Disabled fro me as well

I have this option disabled as well and couldn't enable it. I do have 32gb SD card and it is formatted to FAT32. Anyone could clarify how to fix this so that backups are performed to the external card?

yea ditch rom manager and do the ish manually from recovery....

Agree, it is much more reliable doing it yourself than trusting an app to do it x.x and updating and backup storage can be done just as easily.

I do not have enough privileges to install the firmware

[Q] android.process.media crashing after changing sdcard

I am trying to move from a 32 GB sdcard to a 64 GB card.
On my first effort I windows robocopy'd my files from the old sd card to the hdd and then from the hdd to the new card. When fired up the phone I instantly got a flood of android.process.media has unexpectedly stopped messages which I have never seen before. I was able to clear them out and have brief period where I was not interrupted by them. I was able to play new music off the card. It did appear that the gallery was potentially having difficulty with my old photos though. The messages keep coming though making the phone unusable.
I also tried just doing a fresh full format and putting the card in blank. Same problem.
I have used titanium backup to move some apps on to the sdcard. I assumed my robocopy on the first attempt would of preserved those.
I am using a 4.3.1 based rom.
I did try clearing the data of a couple of things like the play store and google services but they didn't seem to help. For the DRM process I tried freezing it, wiping the data, and thawing it but that didn't seem to help either.
Did I miss something? Any ideas?

wipe dalvik + cache from recovery

Good idea, thought that was going to do the trick! Still getting the same message though. The recovery does complain about not being able to mount this one so I haven't been able to do the "fix permissions" in there (TWRP 2.6)
Maybe the card is incompatible? Seems weird that it partially works though.

Ooo getting less errors now it seems. The gallery still won't open though so maybe some in DCIM is still the culprit.

i am out of ideas mate

have you tried rebooting into safe mode? And is your phone even compatible with the 64 GB card? look for the phone supported sd cards in your phone's specs

Well, one difference between the cards is that the old 32GB is formatted FAT32 and the new 64GB card has been formatted to exfat.
I also noticed in the log:
E/AndroidRuntime( 7147): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't obtain external volume ID for external volume.

This guy TWRP wiped the sdcard and than formated the card in Windows.

Is that any different than just formatting the card?

probably if you format the card from windows you will have success but i am not sure
if you do it format it to fat32 system

Well I updated to Albinoman's 4.4.2 rom and it seems to work fine!
Thanks for the for the ideas! :cyclops:

Formatting a 64GB card with any ROM will do the trick. Don't worry, it's compatible.

Redmi S2 .zip files not showing in TWRP

Hey. I was tryna install custom ROM on my device. The first time i installed TWRP on my phone it asks for a encrytion key. But since idk what the hell was that and i thought it might be a bug, I tried installing TWRP again and this time it doesnt require a key no more. And here's the weird thing, in TWRP when i look at the select storage it shows the correct size of my sd card and internal storage just fine. but i cant see the rom files either on my internal storage or sd card. I put the files on both storage but it just doesnt seem to read my files in there. I'm pretty sure i have enabled usb debugging and i have unlocked the bootloader. any suggestions on what else to do here? i have done wiping everything for few times too.
now i am stuck with a bricked device. can someone please tell me what mistake i did or what to do? :/

on the twrp main menu select wipe, and there are 2 choices, advance wipe and format data...
Data format makes all data stored in internal storage erased, so maybe you need to back up

if you have 'format data'... the 'internal storage' is erased so you will not see your own zip file in internal storage...

Most probably you need to mount sdcard. See "Mount" on twrp. If sdcard not checked, check it.
