ext partition hidden MicroSD

Hello to anyone , this is mine first thread here and to begin , sorry for my English because 'm Italian..
Today I had a problem with installing Android on Nand.
The problem does not affect the operation of Android, but I can not understand why ,after partitioning Micro Sd Card with EXT format , Android does not recognize any SD in the slot-card.I reformatted all the Sd in fat32 and now i can see it in my HTC HD2..I believe that it is not necessary made one EXTpartition but i cannot understand the cause this happens..
Bye to the next time..

ext is generally done to create room for apps via apps2sd..
so if ur version of android do not support ext then dont ext ur sd!!

That was the last version of typhoon of 9 April Ginger 2.3...is very strange...

Bro it doesnt actually matter (though it should have worked for u as u r in gingerbread)!!!!
i know typhoon rom is beautiful,, i have seen it..!!
bt updated version doesnt mean latest version coz the rom developers work upon image files of an operating system.. the image file in the first relese is generally the same in the updated version in ur developers post!!
ANYWZ WHAT IS MY VIEW IS THAT U R USING AN SD CARD WHICH CAME ALONG WITH UR MOBILE!! GENERALLY THESE ARE CLASS 2 SD CARDS AND USING HIGH PERFORMANCE ROMS LIKE TYPHOON AFFECTS THEM A LOT!
so my suggestion is:
1. format ur sd card once from ur computer
2. if still dont work then check the sd card for its class. the number is generally printed inside a circle.. if no number is present then its a class 2 sd card and u should change it to better ur experiences!
note:- there nothing wrong with ur phone(as far as i can c)!!

partition SD card
Hi, I'm Italian too
Actually I can't find a good reason for your problem, the only suggestion I can make you is to try a different approach to partition your SD card. For instance, the one that worked on my device (motorola xt720) is the one explained very clearly in the first two videos (thanks to reverendkjr) that you find on youtube if you type "8 minute Linux".
It's easy if you follow all the step one by one, I'm not an expert, but it's pretty easy. Hope it will help you!

hi all
looks like impossible with android phones as i saw. I also want to do that and store big files (up of 4 Gp) on my external sd card.
you are obliged to first create a FAT32 on sd card and after a ext4 partition but i did'nt at this time find how to use it ( i mean mount in file system and see it and copy files to it ). I am under linux so no problem between pc and smartphone
There is some solution to create partition on internal sd , but ext4 should be less than 2Go !!!! and will be use to move apps on it with apps like apps2sd but not to copy files on it !!!
that's a big hole for android but ????
if you have found solution i will take it !

backup your data on the sd card to your pc and format it and if it still shows the problem then your sd card is dead

i have the same problem but when i formatted it formatted my internal sdcard -.-

No, it is not :silly:
I've tried 2 different sd cards (16 GB and 32 GB), different brands, and they are recognized by every pc I use, the problem is on the phone side. Maybe the mod to swap internal and external SD cards... or some kind of rom bug.

Or you could flash the alpha 3 which has been released....maybe it was a bug specific to alpha 2?

[Q] need mnt/sdcard/<files>

i lost my mnt/sdcard/<files> i delete them oh what a mistake!
but they were useless .
they story was began from 1 day i decided format my internal sd card then i did it from >setting/sd car and phone storage/format internal storage.
at this time i had 2.2 froyo . i tried flash 2.3.6 GB ,scan sd card for viruses , format ex sdcard.
but when i did the last thing (format ex sd card from>setting/sd card and phone storage/fromat ex sd )i lost my ex sd card too (must mention it i did format 3 time internal sd card and 5 time ex sd card again and again cuz i had sd card removed unexpectedly issue and somewhere said it happen by virus (i guess true cuz i downloaded some app recently and after that the sd card removed unexpectedly was occur)but those formats clear all thing. phone doesnt recognize both sd cards even .
now i live with a 4 gb ex sd card and unavailable int/ex sd card. (yea its unavalable but when i put it off without 4 gb ex sd the phone wont boot up)
in my phone i just see system root (no sd card no internal memory) .
the one thing i am thinkin about that is .maybe should i have this directory files backup mnt/sdcard/<files> .maybe if i copy & paste those files again my sd card come back again .maybe .cuz i have no doubt it mnt/sdcard/files wont change after flash official rom.and i cant flash a custom rom jelly bean (i hear that directory is /sdcardo )till phone cant recognize ex sd card.
i have no other idea.
so plz upload these files mnt/sdcard/<files>

[Q] Impossible to partition my new micro sd card 64gb

Hello, i have a problem with my Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 (GT-P3110) with omni-4.4.4-20140820-p3110-NIGHTLY rom installed.
I have bought a SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS IT - MB-MPCGC EU (Samsung microSDXC 64GB Class 10 ) micro sd card and I used it out of the box in my PAD without need to format it.
(in Storage i have found it under SD CARD tab (Total Space 58.45 GB not sure if this is ok) but i don't have the option for Formatting it (only Unmount and after it Erase or Mount)
I can see it with Windows 7 via USB MTP mode and copy files on it but not formatting it
I have tested this card with Sdtools and Sdcardtester on the tab without any problem
Now my problem is that i want to use Link2sd to move my apps on the Sd card but i have no way to make the 2 needed partitions on the it
I have tried to see if Mini Tool Partition would able to see the card from the tab's USB in MTP mode without success, i have tried to use a Sd card reader directly on my Pc with the same result (with another microd sd i was able to have it connected in Windows but this card is only 4 gb)
I have tried this also on a different PC without any luck
I tried to make partition on the card in recovery mode (tried with TWRP_2.7.1.2 and PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.57.5 and CWM_6.0.5.0) but in none of the 3 i have found the Partition SD card option inside the Advanced menu...
So after trying everything i'm lost
If anyone have any advice or can give me any help on this i will appreciate it

See the before site for a tool for partitioning sdcards. Partitioning sdcards will erase all data on the card.

With Aparted (found in the Google Play store) i was able to check the card file system (the app told me that was FAT32 ) and to make 2 partitions
1 Fat32 and 1 ext4 but i still have all the same problems as before also with Link2sd not letting me move apps from the internal memory to the sd but only link them

I was thinking that my english was so bad that i was misunderstanding your first post
I tried that program before but it is not working for me cause i can't get the sd card working in Windows so i can't format it there
Still i was able to solve the big part of my problem because with Aparted launched on the tablet i made the 2 partitions requested from Link2sd to use the function Create Link that will help me a lot
Now i just need to know the best size to have in the 2 partitions. I'm still unable to move all the app but maybe sooner or later someone will find a solution to this .

Your English is just fine
The dying honestly depends on what files you need on your sdcard compared to the source the apps you plan to move to your sdcard will take up. I'd either make them both 32GB or one 16 gb and one 48 gb, the larger one obviously for whichever partition needs to be bigger.
