So. I repartitioned my internal memory so i could use it to boot up my mac(long story short). I changed it to GUID partition table and formatted it to Mac OSX. Now iforgot how it was originally set up and CMW will not mount/reformat it. Im assuming i need to change it to Master Boot Record and partition it to MS-DOS (FAT). is this correct? will someone please give me some advice?
Look in the dev section for the Batch Cleanup Tool. It rewrites the partitions using NV flash

Can you load cwm? You can format emmc from there and then run the cleanup batch.
Are you able to download the bootloader?

Btw, I am very interested in this case as I have never come across something that could not be fixed with nvflash and this case seems as the first.

EXT4 partition and making your sgs4g ext4 are 2 different things
the partition makes a ext4 partition in your sdcard so that your sdcard can be ext4 as well
the sgs4g ext4 converter makes the OS ext4
Is there a point to partitioning my sd card with ext4 now that my OS is ext4?
Im sorry . So one more question. Im I mistaken then to think the system cache and data would be on the sd card and not the phones internal storage

I'm think you can do this in recovery. Just pretend you're partitioning your sdcard except set the ext partition to 0mb and swap to 0mb.

You need to format the sdcard again after setting to 0 to get the whole memory again,or else the partitioned memory wont be visible.

D'load "partition magic" or such software to ur pc.connect ur sd card with the help of a card reader to that pc. Then do "merge partition".It should delete the partition.BTW don't forget to make a backup of ur sdcard.
The simplest way : insert ur memory card in some nokia mobile den open ur memory card format n u r done. Other method : go to setting in ur phone go to storage and format ur sd card.

What if i made a partition and now i can't retrieve the information i had before partitioning? I'd like to some how delete the new partition and be able to use the data i had before. I don't want to format! I just can't get to the partition with the data.

If u partition from recovery,ur sd card is already formatted and u cant retrieve data back unless u have a backup on ur pc.Dnt know about pc tools for formatting.
Use gparted on Ubuntu (you can put it on a CD or a memory stick and make it bootable - with poweriso - and boot into live CD, no need to actually install ubuntu, but after you try it you will, try with wubi to avoid partitioning)

I think mini partition should do the trick, you can delete the ext partition, and then resize and expand the fat32 partition and integrate the fat32 partition with the unallocated partition created after deletion of ext partion

Hello all,
I have a big problem with my Transformer.
I was using Android Revolution HD 3.5.1. Then flash LiquidSmooth v2.0 RC7 , then KERNEL of sainthout for JB, and issue happened.
Issue:
- Can't copy and paste any kind of file from outside into the internal storage (I don't have sdcard, use internal storage only). Everytime I try, it takes a long time and respond with a Windows message like this
- Can't use File Manager to delete or move file, it says "Delete file failed"
- I can delete file while connect to PC but the file still exist.
Try to flash back to Android Revolution HD 3.5.1 and harmony kernel but it still failed.
Need advice.
Kind regards,thanks
Update troubleshoting:
When I wipe Dalvik Cache, Transformer says: "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

Use easyflash and go back to stock, then root it again, install a different recovery ( twrp or rogue recovery)
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
I had a similar problem. Seems like between JB and ICS roms the permissions get messed up. I have a user "media_rw" in JB and "sdcard_rw" in ICS on the mount to /sdcard. The only way I could fix it was to backup the data and reformat the internal memory. Then I just copied the data back.
One other thing first, try copying from /data/media. That should be the same as /sdcard.

Internal memory can be wiped using twrp recovery, I'm not sure that option is available in rogue, if its there use it... wipe everything and install CM10 , it should work.....

This is what I had to do. Wipe internal memory from TWRP. I copied the data back after format using Root Explorer.
I had some scripts setup to do the copy recovery, but I think that only made the problem worse.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant only the data you didn't have in the backup or wasn't in the backup. I agree, the key is the clean install.
When I had my issue, my "internal storage" in wasn't backed up. The Download, Android, Pictures, etc folders.

Hello friends I am on rasheds cm10 and I want to partition my sdcard so how much of it we need to do
I have 16gb sdcard
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I think it comes down to personal preference more than anything. I've got 2048 ext4(which some people might say is too much), 0 swap and the rest as fat32.
Also on a 16gig card.
I'm using link2sd and I know that A2sd, D2ext and Int2ext work but some scripts might not work with ext4 and the size of the ext partition might be limited.

Actually partitioning 1gb of memory is enough for our phones. And use swap if u want to have more ram. I personally perefer using ext4 as it is.the fastest out of the ext partitions.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Hi I have 1 gb for link2sd and i think that this amount is enought.
To partitioning I used mini partition tool, in this case I used ext3 because with ext4 I had a problem with another phone.
Also, keep in mind that the 1st partition should be formatted FAT32, the 2nd partition EXT, and the 3rd partition as SWAPFS (optional, only if you want to enable swap). Do not create the partitions in some other order.

Good question. Go through the normal partitioning process but set both Swap and Ext to 0mb, maybe?
EDIT: Seems Amon Ra will let you set things to 0mb.

Using minipartition tool, select partitions, delete them, later select all unallocated space created and create a new singular partition.

Just go into storage settings in normal mode and format the card, it will delete all partitions and make them as 1

With Junior Einstein method you can't delete a partition but you can only delete files that you can find in (and only) data partition.
And no, not in all partitions, this procedure delete files only in data partition, and yes, Junior Einstein method wipe the fat32 storage partition, allenwalker1998 said only data not the partition and this is correct; at the end the partiton is formatted, not deleted.
To remove/change a partition you have to use a specific tool that can be one like minipartition tool or something else.

If you use mini partition tool, you don't need to format your sd card to partitioning it. You have to use the command resize (for your actual fat32 partition) and later on created free spece use command create a new partition. I personally tested this and all my data are safe, this procedure will NOT erase your data but anyway you need a pc also to use minipartition tool and have a backup before any modification is a good idea.
Hi folks,
I accidently selected factory default from the Bootloader menu instead of recovery and finally ended up losing all my data from sdcard... Have seen a link at xda forums where we can recover the files that are deleted from a mtp medium.. But for that we need to identify how our medium is mapped like mmcblk0 or anything.. Can anyone help me to find how our device sdcard will be mapped inside dev/block

You can find a thread on partition layout here:

The sdcard is /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
