hey guys ,
I faced this error a few times :my sd-ext partition used to become read only automatically . Due to this , I could not link any apps to sd-ext .
when I Googled it , I found that the fs converts sd-ext partition to read only as safety if it might get corrupted
formatting the sd-ext will make it read write but you will lose you data .
To solve this just follow this steps so that the data is not lost:
1.make a nandroid backup of current rom
2. go in recovery mode- mount and storage and format sd-ext ONLY
3.then go in backup and restore - advance restore . Select the nandroid file you just backed up
there will be options to restore just the system or just the data etc
4.choose sd-ext
it will check the md5 and restore your sd-ext partition making it read write too !
5. reboot to your rom

I have the latest stock Gingerbread ROM, AmonRA, ROQ kernel and I'm unsing link2SD.
I'm getting short of space on my data partition and I would like to recover some space from my cache partition (that is now 64Mb big).
Is there anyway to move some Mb from /cache to /data?
Possibly recovering a whole NAND backup.
I saw scripts for "Cusotm MTD Partitions" but they all looked for different phones.
Thank you very much

u can't change internal partitions in p500. but u can change the size of SD-ext partition that link2sd uses to store apps. U can do that with the help of ur recovery. But remember that changing size of sd-ext partition will format ur whole sd crd. so make the necessary backups

I'm running out of space in /data partition, /sd-ext is ok.
I see I can nandroid backup all partitions: can't I edit them somehow and then recovery them back?
BTW: I would use a Windows partition resizing software on the SD mounted in my PC to do what you meant, that should not lose any data

when u backup ur partitions it just means u r backing up the content of ur partitions as a whole. So editing them won't do any good.
instead flash an app2sd script which moves dalvik cache to sd too. like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668247
My dalvik cache is already on SD, using LInk2SD; the problem is the /data content; it would be great to move the data to SD too
I also used link2sd till recently and switched to S2E (simple2ext) from the market but I think it only works for cm7 and cm7 based roms.
If you use a lot of apps including games I would suggest making the ext partition 1gb when using set script.
Backup your apps with titanium backup, wipe the phone clean, flash the rom.
Install S2E, open it.
Press menu key and go to Settings, and enable “Mount as ext4″ (mandatory).
Close and reboot.
Open S2E again and select the folders you want to move to SD card. I recommend selecting Applications, Application Data and Dalvik cache. Leave Private apps and Download cache unselected.
Reboot and changes will take effect. (This reboot will be slower than usual as your dalvik cache will be rebuilt.)
Done.
Now you can restore from the titanium backup and you shouldn't have any more problems with space.
p.s.: don't backup or restore link2sd, it will mess with s2e
You mean it will move the /data folders too, in contrary to Link2SD?

Is it correct that, in the steps you listed, the old sd-ext partition is not needed? S2E won't read it, right?

The sd-ext partition is very needed. that's where all your apps and data and dalvik cache will go. S2E works basically like Link2SD only it moves data as well, to the same place.
When I said wipe the phone, I meant formating the system, internal and ext partitions + dalvik cache so you have a clean slate and bug free installation.

Use the script mentioned here. it moves ur \data partition to ext. it will give u ample amount of storage. and remember that u should increase the size of ext partition only if u have class 6 sdcards or else ur phone will suffer serious lag
Sorry, I meant the content of the sd-ext partition before this upgrade: I have to reinstall all apps, I don't need the old installations in the sd-ext, right?
Thank you!
I can't move my apps to my sdext partition, I tried Link2sd and it can't detect my partition (I already tried deleting the partition and creating a new one) I google searched and didn't find anything useful.
So, Is there a way to move all my apps to sdext in CM10?
have you mounted the second partition ?
in recovery mode mount the sd-ext partition . then in link2sd , create mount script and reboot.

HIt THANX if I helped YOU

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 !

in the wipe menu of twrp 2.4.4.0 there isn't data, there are only cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, system, external storage, android secure.
there isn't a mount and storage button, but there is a mount button that allow to connect usb mass drive to computer

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.

Try using minitool partition wizard and convert ext 3 filesystem to ext2. Mounting problem solved for ROMS using kernel 3.
partition
use twrp recovery, try to create partition in recovery mode for
GB-ext3
ICS-ext4.
if u flash new rom , use superwipe script its clear all data...

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

your SD card might be having a problem change it and use better class SD card like class 6 or 10 woks best:fingers-crossed:
Try creating FAT32 partition using minitool partition manager.

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.
Hi!
This method is for that guyz see restart middle of formating system
If u want install 4.4.4 ROM I recommended ext3
******Note: all ur data in phone SD will lost !!!*****
Its very simple
First format data in ext3 (if u see error do this again)
Then format system in ext3
Then cache
Reboot
Install ur ROM
If u see error flashing ROM go format system again
And besure no error left !
If u see goto error source and format
**be careful to don't wipe ex.SD **
