Hello there! if I just want 1gb partition for games,apps, and I got a 8gb card, whats the correct way to do this on 4EXT recovery?
Also one of the things says....
Warning sd-ext2 is not formatted!
how do i format sd-ext2???
how do I go about clearing everything and starting again? there is a option in the wipe/format menu, called Wipe all Partitions (DANGEROUS!), does this clear everything? I dont want to do it without checking with experienced forum members first, so if you can help, please leave below....
You've got one solution
Make a backup from your sdcard on your PC, and format partition and increasing the size of three of them ( system, data, cache, sd_ext and ext2) with your recovery on EXT4.
Like this:
- system => Ext4
- data => Ext4
- Cache => Ext4
- SD-ext => Ext4
- SD-ext2 => EXt4 or Ext3
- sdcard => fat32
then, restore your files on your sdcard.

Use the EXT4 recovery as suggested, although are you sure that you'll need this space as the DS had over 1GB of internal user storage available to you by default. Mine has over 700mb free with all my applications installed.
The un formatted message relates simply to the non existence of the partition and isn't anything to worry about.
To wipe everything, the easiest way is to simply perform a factory reset, either from bootloader or from settings
The wipe all isn't what you are after as this is used by ROM cooks and wipes all partitions, which should only be used when installing new roms
Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
Hello,
i have just installed the official stock ICS 4.0.3 Rom to my Nexus S and everything was really fine... until i tried to root it. As someone who tries to take security seriously, i immediately encrypted the device using the tools provided by ics (works ok).
but unfortunatly it's now not possible anymore to mount /sdcard while in recovery, which makes rooting and installing updates impossible (or is there any other way? eg. fastboot?).
therefore my question: will clockworkmod recovery support ics encrypted devices in the (near) future? i know its gonna be a p.i.a. to type a password with only the volume buttons, but hey
i like the encryption and would like to keep it, but not beeing able to use recovery like before is a big drawback...
greetings
Georg
Same for me.
Hope to see encryption support in clockworkmod soon.
I bought Rom manager premium even if I never flash from rm just to support the developers... hope they will be able to get it sorted out
Op -- I'm interested in this for when my phone (EVO 3D) finally gets ICS. Will you post an update to this thread if you hear anything?
BTW, with TWRP getting touchscreen support, it can't be too much longer before CWM gets touchscreen since I think the guys in TWRP were going to start contributing to CWM, from what I've heard anyway. So that would solve the password typing problem.
Georg, thanks for asking this question as I've been wondering the same exact thing. Hopefully we'll get a good answer soon.

Its because the way encryption works you have to boot and enter code, that's the whole point, no recovery can do it atm

small update:
nothing new on the subject, but i didnt check out the new touch recovery (anyone tried it yet?).
in the mean time i went back to an unencrypted CM9...
I didn't read anything about encryption so did not upgraded to the touch recovery yet
you should lock the bootloader if someone is nagging you

Jomir, what was the procedure you used to get back to CM9? Is it possible to repartition, erasing the encrypted partitions so a new rom can be flashed? How?
Thx,

Thanks for the reply, DarkhShadow. The problem is that CWM can't wipe or format these partitions, since it can't mount /sdcard (which is encrypted). If I could only access the external sdcard from within CWM, I could just wipe everything and then install a new rom. But since it can't mount /sdcard, I can't access sd-ext. nvflash is not an option, since my TF101 is B90. Is there a way to either restore the stock recovery (overwrite CWM) or boot from the external SD so I can run a script such as "super wipe full" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892)? Maybe there's a way to run the wipe script through adb? If I can just format the partitions (which is what the script does), then CWM would be able to mount /sdcard and, consequently, the external SD and I can flash a new rom (such as revolution HD 3.0.1).
Thanks,
rmsilva
Honestly idk then, try a factory reset on phone(ie booted up) and then maybe it will be unencrypted?

The funny thing is that stock recovery on an encrypted phone can write to the disk, but only from a warm reboot (perhaps the kernel stays resident?).
When I say write to disk I say apply the leaked OTA update, 4.0.4 for the VZ Gnex. And correct me if I am wrong, it's writing and mounting the disk, no?
Anyhow, this is done from stock recovery which is open source. So you ask yourself, why can't Koush support mounting the disk from a warm recovery state reboot? Maybe he doesn't know this?

Use tmpfs to install a new ROM in crypted system
Hello Everyone
To flash a new ROM you can do as follows:
boot in Recovery
format cache partition
from your PC use adb to mount /sdcard as tmpfs:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
put your ROM on the (fake) sdcard
adb push <your rom> /sdcard
use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual
This worked form me.
Sorry to be late...
What about a nandroid backup or restore? How big is /cache?

Sorry I didn't try with a nandroid backup but I think it is too big to fit the device memory...
You can backup data inside the sd partiton (phone up and running, just to don't lose data...), boot into recovery, format sdcard partition, mount it, put the backup in the sdcard and after install the nandroid backup...
I think that it could work but I am not sure. If after formatting the sdcard you can mount it, the task is done. You can put the backup on it using adb push and flash using recovery.
If you try please give me some news.
Regards

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to adb. What is that process doing exactly? How big is the fake sdcard? I want to make sure I understand all the implications before I dive in. Of course I need HTC to release a ICS ROM first. ;-)

First it formats the cache partition. Then mount the /sdcard so that you can access it from your pc. After you mount the /sdcard, you can put your rom zip into it. After the zip has been transferred into /sdcard, you can flash the zip as usual.
Since nexus s doesn't have sdcard slot, it mounts the internal storage as '/sdcard' to treat it like a sdcard, thus 'fake' sdcard. The 'fake' sdcard is around 13GB.
Hello,
I'm having troubles with sd-ext partition, infact, everytime i change rom, the rom is unable to mount it with apps like link2sd, s2e, mount2sd etc.. also installing the same rom, the problem returns. The only way i found is to delete all the partition and create new ones, i'm currently using twrp recovery. Everytime i change a rom i do a factory reset, and wipe system. My sd is 32gb, class 10; 890mb ext3 partion. Am i doing something wrong in the installation?
ROM currently installed: CM10 beta6 that I would like to install a memory script.
I hope that someone can help; sorry 4 bad english!
Happy easter
When you flash another rom before flashing wipe data then go to mounts and storage mount system and sd ext format it then flash !

i try your procedure using cwm 6.0, doesn't work
Flash kernel 2.6 and try ..mounting and installing mount2SD from play
And when you create partition from recovery, create it from yannou90 cwm recovery... it should work well, rather than twrp/cwm6 created partitions.

Before flashing another ROM you should mount system and sd ext to format

Please help me...I flashed the FlyROM V4 correctly but its stuck at boot animation...when i go to mount sd-ext..its shows "Error mounting sd-ext"..is that the problem? If it is..how to solve it?
Make Sure You Made A Sd-Ext Partition Correct, To Check Whether You Made A Partition Correct Or Not, Just Mount Sd-Ext In Recovery, If It Mounts Without Any Error Then Just Go Ahead, But If It Shows An Error, It Means You Didn't Make A Partition Correct. So Now What You Need To Do Is:
1. Don't Partion Your SD Card By Using Recovery.
2. Partition It Via "Minitool Partition Wizard" Manually.
3. Create A Ext 4 Partition As Primary.
4. Now, Install Yannou's Recovery (The One Which You Install While Rooting)
5. Finally, Mount Sd-Ext And Flash Any Sense 4 Rom..
Note: Don't Use CWM Recovery, It Never Mount Sd-Ext At Any Cost.. Use Yannou's Recovery Or Philz Touch Recovery Instead..
Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda premium
thanks for replying here..i got the problem solved by just
1. removing old partitions
2. changing to philz recovery
3. making a new partition using philz and then flashing..
But now am unable to install any kind of memory script to increase internal memory..even after installing successfully .. the memory isnt increasing..what's wrong?
First open ur rom zip, navigate to system/etc/init.d and remove that 78mv2ext file and replace it with ur desired script and then reflash rom..
But do this at your own risk, if u get into a bootloop just reflash the rom with 78mv2ext script again..
Note: in sense roms, internal memory will always be 150 mb, but when you install apps its internal memory will not decrease as it decreases usually because of that Sd-Ext Partition you created..

lol i didnt know internal memory is always 150mb..but it doesnt decreases..if its true..then there's no problem.

Remove all your partitions..
Then flash the ROM..
As the ROM is in band memory card removal won't affect the ROM..
Now take a backup of your card..
Create partition through recovery ..
Use link2sd only not anything else..

4. Go to recovery.
5. Flash the ROM..
6. Reboot your phone
7. Again to recovery
8. Partition SD card
9. Now boot in ROM ..
