Hey guys.
Trouble found me again this time.i m not able to restore sdext data from multiboot backup cm7 data as well as from nandroid backup.
I was flashing a different kernel on an existing one when this happened.
The error was that it can't format sdext ,so i formatted it through minitool.but still i could see that out of 1gb sdext partition 32 mb is used even after formatting.
Tried flashing the rom again from scratch..but no luck.the problems still there.
Can't afford to loose so much data.
Please help guys.

if 32 mb is used, then i think you'll need to format the sdcard too.......
which rom was you flashing?

what type of backups do you have?....e.g. : data.ext2/4.tar, data.img(data) or sdext.ext2/4.tar or sd-ext.img(sd-ext)??
and which kernel are you powered by?

It was arakmars openfimg..and the backups were in. Tar format..
Silly of me i thought its a tar file so flashed sdext through odin..didn't work..lol.
Eventually i found that data was ext 4 so it was getting restored but sdext was ext3..and my new partitioned part was ext4..so may be it was the problem.
And for those who want to know, cm7 stock kernel makes an ext3 partition.

First of all,i am really happy to announce (for those who came across with my desperate threads trying to solve my battery drain over 3G network issue) that flashing XXJPU Rom + Removing the partitions (swap + external extra storage) of my SD Card solved my problem. Battery is not draining anymore,and everything is working just fine with the stock rom.
The question is : Can i partition my SD Card again (to add internal storage,since i´ve came across the damn "Internal Storage is Nearly Full" message) ?
If yes,will i have to reflash the rom or , do anything else then just creating the partition using the Minitool software ?
Thanks in advance,and thanks again for those who tried to help me !
No need to make a new partition, extend the current one by minitool/gparted
I have o only one big partition used to store normal content. I need to make a new one to use as a extra internal storage space.. So i do need to partition it, all i need to know is if it will work and if i will have to do something else after partitioning it

If you create a partition on your SD Card as EXT2 ( i guess its EXT2 ) ,your OS will use it as internal storage.
Doing this,will solve the low internal storage issue.
I Just dont know if it works on stock roms,it does work on Kyrillos, inDroid, Sumee etc.
@OP i though u already had one partition when you said partition again
if your sd is as it is(just one partition)
then do this
flash g3mod
reboot into recovery
and partition
its the fastest way to get a partitio
then you can use an app2sd/data2sd script (system/etc/init.d)
Or if you have a card reader
use minitool/gparted to partition
shrink the existing one and make a new partiton(ext4)
and yea backup ur data, just in case!

Thanks for the reply : )
I will use minitool since i know how to use it.
After creating a EXT4 Partition,what will i need to actually tell my OS to use it as internal storage ?
Will i need to reflash rom ? Run any script (like Data2SD) ?
Also, is the Kernel or the Rom that actually recognizes the partitions and use them ?
EDIT : Hey @cdesai i just partitioned my SD using minitool creating a EXT2 Partition for internal storage upgrade.
Following again,this tutorial here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Titaniun backup is not recognizing the extra space,what do i have to do now ?

Hmm.
ext4 would be a bit better but ext2 is also ok
now keep an a2sd script in /system/etc/init.d
there is a thread in dev section by kyrillos with the script and instructions, use it
or flash a custom rom which already has it
and yes you need a kernel with init.d support, but every custom kernel has that feature(cf-root,fugumod,g3mod,simplicity,etc.)

Did you wipe data? Also if it doesn't work, sear h around for a zerofill.tar to flash, then flash a rom over it.

use your sd card for more space
zerofill tar sounds to me like:
writing lots of "0" to the internal sd?
-> equal to a format of /system?
-> system is gone, mobile doesnt boot
-> all data lost?
Checked the features of kyorarom and what do I see...
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
Why dont you use that feature?
Ah... I see... you didnt create an ext4 partition?
Thsi partition is needed for the feature above!
how to:
Create an ext4 partition via CWM
using this feature will move all user apps to sd card
have a fast card on your side and make a backup of your sd card data
-> all data will be lost on sd card when you repartition your card!!!!!
I think u r facing 0.0kb internal memory bug... if so flash with data.rfs
If not, go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache... format sd ext.. mount data... and mount sd ext

i think i stay with kyrillos never had problems with it only when i installed kyrorarom i got the bug from 0.0kb internal memory bug
hmm when i put my sdcard in it and reboot my phone says 0.0kb internal memory when i reboot without sdcard i got 100mb free agian so i dont no what to do
put the sdcard in PC and check the card if its working
backup data
delete all partitions on sdcard
put card in mobile
boot into cwm
repartition the card
check the space
just a thought:
could it be, that the sdcard is only full?
or defective?

The sdcard works fine i can see all my stuff when i have it in my phone but i wil try that empty my sdcard and i will make backup from it to my pc i hope this works
oh... a second please...
I remember something right now...
In my very early days (ECLAIR flashing) I remember that someone had also space 0.0 MB
And afaik the solution was to flash the CSC file (?) or something like that again...
That was the reason in these days why I flashed all (!) firmware versions from
xxjg7 to xxjk1
well... in froyo days...
I know that this posting is not very helpful, but you might find something similar with these hints in the net...
Hope this helps forward
Flashing zero fill should solve to 0.0kb problem, it formats everything on your phone, then flash a rom over it. If doesn't work, backup your SD card and format your sd ext and your whole SD card.

Is it getting detected in your PC (Using a card reader or adapter) Is it getting detected in a Digital camera? Just go ahead and Check to be absolutely sure. If it's not, then, my thoughts are, the card is corrupted. But as a last effort, delete any partitions that you made (use minitool partition wizard) and format the entire card (use minitool or use a digital camera) or do a low level format with any low level formatting tool, if required.

Thanks for the answer. and as of the double posts ill keep that in mind.
Also when i checked it it looks like a flashable zip file......
So if i flash it over my existing recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0) do i need to back up before it ......
Also is a wipe data/factory reset required.
solution
maybe CWM 5.0.2.0 will be the best, it formats ext partition in ext4 format and also can take backup of ext partition also with backup of full rom , which CWM 5.0.2.6 can't... so use CWM 5.0.2.0 it is good enough.

Oh, man... This quite a big deal. I had to learn this the hard way. Had always backed up with 5.0.2.6 and, the day I needed to restore my ext4 position, I was not able to... just stick to 5.0.2.0 and be happy. You are losing nothing with this recovery version.

The problem is the phone just got stuck on the bootscreen (I wait more than 10 minute). I've tried flashing it a few times more but the problem still persist. Any help? Taking out MicroSD is not an option for now.
