I was running Mz's CM6 RC3 today and I decided to go back to 2.1 for a while so I backed up my current ROM and selected backup all in MZ's openrecovery. Suspiciously, it was backing up SD ext too but I only had a fat32 SD card second partition, not an ext2 so I thought how it was possible? But I didn't bother and just factory reseted after backing up and went to one of my 2.1 backups. After a while, I decided to switch to the backup that I had just made (the cm6 one). I restored all, including SD ext. Now in openrecovery, the filesystem for the second partition shows ext2!!! I am 100% sure I had fat32 last time. Not only that, now the second partition can't be mounted for link2sd to work (the error always comes cannot mount Dev block....blablabla) what happened to my SD card partition? ?

Whoops sorry the error is mount script cannot be created I mean (for the link2sd error I get) Look at attached photo.

Nandroid always restores as ext2 and your 2.1 probably doesn't have ext2 modules. Your partition table also incorrectly lists the ext partion as FAT--that's probably not a serious problem.
I would put the card in a computer and reformat the extra as fat. The sd-ext nandroid is just a .tar file so you can extract that on windows manually.

No, I think you just have to reformat the second partition as fat. You don't have to touch the main fat partition.

I decided to partition my second partition as ext2. But somehow link2sd was not working but then i remembered u r supposed to create a sd-ext/link2sd directory so i created that, rebooted the phone and now i have apps on my ext2 partition! thx for all ur help! btw, is ext2 like better(faster maybe) compared to fat32?

[Q] Couple questons

I just got the phone. Att version. I had a cappy before and couldn't resist flashing roms on this as soon as i got it. I'm running quikwiz and sometimes the phone doesn't ten on with the power button after a certain while. I can tell the phone is still on but the screen won't show up when i hit the power button. So I always have to restart the phone. (Vol up/power button)
I noticed when i first flashed a rom it gave me a warning. Do the carriers now know how to detect flashed devices?
Last question. My SD card isn't being detected. I'm flashing roms from the internal SD option.
Thanks in advance!

Carriers can tell its rooted if u try to turn it in rooted/ runing custom rom.
There is a flash counter that trips when you flash a custom kernel.
It depends on where you place the roms you want to flash. You most likley thought you were puting them on the external sd but infact put them on the internal. Click menu settings then storage. It will tell you how much free space is on the internal and external sd cards.

So since I've done all that and return to stock and try to return it to them, any chance of them finding out? I don't have an external SD card. When i had my captivate their was no option for internel. In recovery it just said SD card. Now in this phone it says externel SD won't mount and i tried mounting it from recovery it won't mount. The reason I'm asking is because when i downloaded the driver for chain fire it gave the option for recovery. I did it and it said externel SD won't mount. Am i just supposed to to put everything in my internal and flash it from there?

ATT has never seemed to mind my exchanged devices being rooted. They're refurbished anyhow after the exchange.... hope im not pressing my luck though..

Well yeah it wont mount if you did not physically put an external sd card in your phone. And it does not matter where you put your roms. Internal or if you get an external sd

Ok it was just a little different than the recovery on my previous phone so it confused me a little.
Carriers are getting smarter. :/
P.s. anyone know anything about my other screen not turning on problem?

Downloading now

Installed, will be testing.
Thanks! Have a great weekend.

haptic feedback
is it working in this rom??

Yes it is....
.

So far, so good. The only thing I'd rather not see (I'm sure you've probably done this to your other rom?) is all the stock bloat and TW. Just my humble opinion though.

Yeah im going to remove tw launcher.
And bloat in an upcoming update. No eta's
Ill just say soon. All u have to do is delete the twlauncher and what ever bloat u dont want from the rom zip then flash it. In the meantime

Apex launcher is included i just forgot to axe tw before i uploaded

External SD Wiped
Like an idiot, I forgot to remove my MicroSD I wiped and installed the rom and when i went to my TiBu backup folder, my MicroSD is wiped clean.
Just want to give you guys a heads up just in case

Lol same here.

Puting that in op now

I'll be the first to throw this out there. How do you flash the ROM from the sd card if you remove the sd card before the flash?

I wonder the same. What is it that causes the card to be wiped? I've never wiped the ext sd unless intentionally formatting, nor have I ever removed it. It's never been an issue before. Why would it be diff't now

Remove external SD card. You place rom on the internal SD ;-)

I too never had issues with it. I mainly take it out 'just in case ' except for late night. Which kinda sucked cuz i had all sorts of documents from work among other things.

Does anyone have a 64gb micro sdxc card running on this phone?

I formatted it to fat32 and it still doesn't work. I tried it on different roms and no luck.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I've got several 64GB SanDisk Ultra and I get full capacity. I don't format them on Windows though.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

What do you suggest then? I have a windows computer. I tried to format it through the phone but it doesn't recognize it. I'm running DJ's cm10.2 rom.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Personally, I know partitioning with eollie's oneclick works. It's the first one in the second post of my oneclick thread. Also check out lumin30's oneclick guide.
Reboot to recovery, nandroid backup (using an SD card that works) . Put device in download mode and oneclick. Put the SD card in, partition.
At this point I hope you report back
Flash your rom's zip so it's the same version as you backed up with. Same recovery. Nandroid restore your backup.
Worth a shot.

You can also download Ubuntu and run it off a USB stick, without modifying your Windows install.

I will try both suggestions when I have time and will report back. Much appreciated.

Ok I'm trying out the method of running ubuntu from USB which I did. I inserted the card and of course it gave me an exfat error. I go to format and there are fat, ntfs, ext4 and luks + ext4. I don't see fat32 so which one do I choose?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Well it doesn't matter what I choose it doesn't seem to format the card at all. Do I have to install the whole ubuntu to get all the capabilities? I chose trying out ubuntu option.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

It should work with the "Try Ubuntu" option. Once you launch gnome-disks you should get a window labeled "Disks" with "Devices" in the left column. Select the microSD from there. From the gear in the top right, select "Format"
In the format dialog, you should select "Compatible with all systems and devices (MBR/DOS)" and "quick format" is fine.
Once the new partition table is written from that step, you need to add a FAT / VFAT / FAT32 partition to the disk. As I recall there is either a "+" symbol beneath the "bar graph" under the Volumes label, or there should be one off the gears beneath the bar graph.
If you're still having problems, I'll try to take some screen shots when I get home.

I would surely like screenshots. Take your time cuz i'm in no hurry.

Once you have gnome-disks running, select the proper drive. From the top-right gear, select "Format..."

Unless you know why you would want something different, you should select "MBR/DOS" (partition table type)
If confident you have the right disk, go ahead.
and you should end up with a disk with an MBR partition table and no partitions
Next, add the partitions you need. Select the free space and click the "+" beneath the map of the partitions
I am setting this one up for Hefe Hook and external data, with a partition for sd-ext and a spare, so I only allocate 54 GB to the FAT partition. If you only need a FAT partition, you can just let it use the entire disk.
After created, you should see it in the partition map. If you used the whole disk, you won't see the "Free Space" section.
If you're adding more partitions, for sd-ext, or other reasons, select the "Free Space" section, then click the "+" again.
Here I'm adding an ext4 partition for "app-to-SD" scripts and other legacy purposes.
Here is the four-partition disk that I am using today.
If you have problems like it not allowing you to convert from GUID to MBR partitioning, the following will wipe the beginning of the disk and generally let you start with partitioning. Insert the right drive letter in place of the # below
Make sure that you select the right drive, as you can wipe your system or any other disk you have with this!
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd# bs=4k count=1k

Success! Thank you for this extensive walk-through. It surely helped me out. I appreciate the time you took to make this.

Internal Storage issue

Hello all, is there a trick to accessing the full amount of storage after several ROM flashes? My p3113 is low on storage, but the numbers just don't add up. The total space says 4.59GB (assuming system eats up the rest of the 8GB) but when I add up the usage stats its only roughly 2.8GB. And it is telling me only 516MB available? Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, that does look a little off. I would suggest go into TWRP and do a full backup and make sure it's on your sd card. Pull the sd card just to be safe. Wipe the internal memory. Then restore your backup from the sd card. I'm guessing you have some left over crud on the internal from either dirty flashing or an incomplete wipe prior to flashing. This should fix ya.

If Wolf's suggestion doesn't get you the results you want (it should, but if it doesn't)...and you got some free time...odin back to stock and use the .pit for your device to repartition all memory.
<Note3>

Cool, it worked. I used cwm, pulled my SD card, formatted everything I could. I didn't restore the backup as I had just flashed slimkat official when I noticed the memory issue so just wanted to do a clean install. But I have all the memory available now. Thanks for the help. I appreciate your response!

I'm interested in what exactly you formatted mr_cj? I've had exactly the same issue after rooting my GT2 7" and installing the new builds of Slimkat. I guess you can just format/wipe *everything* as long as you've got the SD card out of the device? Is there anything you shouldn't wipe/format in recovery!? Thanks.

Scammor,
First make a backup of your ROM to your sdcard, backup your data ( I use titanium backup) to your SD card. PULL OUT YOUR SDCARD AFTERWARDS. Then using cwm, I did a wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvic in advanced, then in mounts and storage I formatted "cache, system, data", and "data and/data/media". That may have been overboard, but it worked. Sorry for the delayed response. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

One question Scammor
Hello Scammor,
I just install cyanogenmod on my tab 2 7.0 and everything perfect but i got the same issue as you did before. When i go into the storage settings i see that my 8gb where not there, instead it said total space 4.59gb and available 1.26gb. I did what you said, using CMW i did a backup on my sd card and then format everything. Then i put my sd card again inside and restore it. Now i have total space of 4.59gb but the available is the 4.18gb instead of the 1.26gb i have before.
Does this happen to you too? or after you did everything you got the 8gb more or less in the total space? Thank you so much for your help!!!!
