Partitioning Problem (Please help)

Hi there first of all sorry for my wrong section and double post but in general forum nobody helped me.
My problem is:i partitionate my 4gb sd card via cwm recovery(512 ext-256swap).
Format cache partiotions.(cwm)
Format sd card.(cwm)
After that i create a fs.data2sd with mmcblk0p2 insde in sdcard/android/data/g3mod.
I install link2sd application but when i start it it tell me that my ext is not mounter.
In Cwm recovery when i press mount sd-ext it gave me an error(i think is:``the file exists already`` or something like this).
In settings/storage my phone tell me i have a 3gb card...so i think partition is done succefully..
So can someone explain what i need to do further.
Thanks alot for you help and i am glad to be member of Xda!
edit:now my sd card is stucked at 3gb how can i extend it back to 4gb?
mod Edit : thread CLOSED u cant do a dual post u need to be patient when posting
use the general or the Q&A(this is a stiky)

Just unmount your card from SdCard and Internal space menu and then format it.
or else you can also format it from CWM recovery.

This is to format ur sd card to get the 3.6.....gb space back...
unmount it and then format it, or else format it using CWM.

k i managed to have back 3.6 gb now how can i use data2sd?I think i need to repartitionate.
one more question:can i partition with MiniTool partition wizard(via windows) with usb ?(i don`t have card reader)

First of all Mini partition is basically used to convert partition...
I'll tell you my way by which I create partition.
1. Boot into Recovery->advanced->partition SD card.
2.ext->256, swap-> 128 or 64.
3. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache....reboot.
4. phone will take 10 to 15 min.
This trick work on kyrillos 7, if you are on any other ROM like sumee 4 then just cope the fs.convert file in fugumod folder on sd card.
I tested this on both roms....you can check the app2sd partition on titanium back up as well as in internal memory in settings.
That's it man....enjoy.

[Q]How to mount the 2nd partition of my SDCARD?

I just created a 2nd partition on my 8GB SD card so that i could move apps to it using link2sd...but when i open link2sd and select the file system of my SD card's 2nd partition (ext4) i get an error:
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: No such device.
ext4 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition.

Other small question : Do I really need to mount the 2nd partition if I just wanna install custom ROMs?
Need help ASAP! thanks in advance .

Make ext3 partitions
No need of second partition for cyanogen. You may need it for sense

I made the second partition as FAT 32 and it worked.
Now the only doubt i have is...will ROMS work on FAT32 partition?

If you are on Stock then maybe FAT32 partition may have worked.. or even otherwise maybe it will work,.. haven't used a FAT32 sd partition since JaggyROM 2.x.x ( obviously my 1st partition is fat32 ) ... My second partition is an ext and it is advisable to have an ext partition cause there are many scripts like int2ext , s2e, etc which work well with an ext partition...
A partition is Not necessary to made in order for other ROMs to work.. They will work just as well without a partition .. only thing is your internal memory will remain to be 150 mb.. Which is the memory allocated in our phone's nand..
NOTE: Sense 4.0a is the only ROM that you necessarily need to have an SD-EXT Partition of at least 1 GB. Otherwise it won't boot.

thanks for helping me..

I partitioned (1GB of memory to fat32) my sdcard with MiniTool Partition Wizard to facilitate to link2sd long back. Now I am unable to recover that memory and merge into a single partition. Do you guys have solution for this?

delete the partition in disk mgmt..

If anyone still have the above issue then just change ur sdcard partition type to ext3. Reboot mobile. Better to use link2sd for this.

do it through mini partition tool..delete the created partition..now right click on the 1st partition..slect extend..n drag the cursor till end...n click apply...done

Use Other Kernel
The reason for your second partition is not recognized is you may be at Stock Rom and Stock kernel....
Stock kernel do not support ext partitions...
Use ateeq kernel or cranium kernel for ext4 partition support....
Also use Mounts2sd instead of link2sd...!!!!

I used mounts2sd after I created sd card partition(ext3) but this app said partition not mounted; but link2sd recognised n created scripts.

Assuming you have the right kernel, install the startup script and change the driver in mounts2sd settings to ext3.

hey guys, is it possible to access the 2nd partition on Android or under Windows? Link2SD sees my 2nd partition and mounts it correctly, but assuming I want to copy e.g. music files to the 2nd partition using Root Explorer or using my PC, how do I do that? I tried both and they don't see my 2nd SD partition at all...

Use EXt2FS search in google you will get it..
Install it in your windows.. reboot your pc.. Then connect your card.. You will get the second partiton to see plus you can copy paste as well..

THANKS jynt_panwar!!!!! I WAS LOKING FOR THIS FOR A YEAR!!!!!!!!!! The Link2sd don't work for my phone (ZTE Blade L3 stock rom 4.4.2), but the Mounts2sd saved my life!!! Also I followed the instructions in this site: INCREASE YOUR ANDROID INTERNAL MEMORY || BY MOUNTS2SD (BEST WAY) in androcustomroms site. Maybe it can help more people... And thanks XDA of course!

[Q] How To S-OFF HTC pico (Explorer)

can ne1 pls hlp to s-off the explorer ? device is already rooted and running cm10.wanna create a partition for increasin the internal memory

For S-Off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498
To increase internal memory(Stock Rom)
1.Download mini tool partition wizard on pc.
2. Make a Fat 32 partition of desired size .. it should be primary..create the partition.
3. Instal link2sd app from playstore.
4. Select Fat32
5. Reboot phone .

For this you don't need s-off (which anyway you can't do). Just use recovery (you already have that) and create partition. If you are using cwm, in advanced menu there is option 'repartition sd card', just follow the steps, and remember this will erase all your info from the sd, so it's better to back that up. Also you can create partition using pc with "mini tool partition wizard" google it. Another thing don't make ext partition bigger than 2GB and don't create swap partition.
That's it. Have fun
Edit: @Saumitra Yadav- damn you are fast , but what you explayned is........ why create another partition, sd card is already fat partitioned? (Maybe I'm wrong but I think link2sd also works with ext)
Edit2: Yes it needs second partition which can be fat32, but it also can be ext, so just make ext

first time in your post, I saw op's cm10, and forgot that possibility that actually stock rom doesn't support ext.
There was very long time ago when my phone haded stock rom.

already tried creating it...get an error saying that mount script cannot be created.
link2sd faq quote :
Q. I get "Mount script cannot be created. cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory" error.
Some HTC devices are "NAND locked". On "NAND locked" (or "S-ON") devices the /system partition is write-protected by the bootloader and thus cannot be modified even if you have root privileges.
In order to use Link2SD you need to do "S-OFF" to disable this NAND lock. (a.k.a. "NAND unlock" or "unlocking the bootloader")

Its not your fault. What i can understand, is that the CM10 rom you are using, most probably doesnt support MEM Script.... You need a ROM that has init.d and Busybox support... Check if it has or not!!!

Then use m2sd(no config needed)

SD card 2nd partition is not getting mounted

Hi Friends
Yesterday I flashed my HTC Explorer with CM10.1 Beta 5 ([DEV][ROM][JDQ39E][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1.2 | BETA#5 | 25/07/13 | WILD FOR THE NIGHT) . But with this build my phone is not mounting the second partition of size 2GB (total 16gb card) which I have created from recovery menu. I have tried with the Mini partition tool on windows for FAT32 too, but still its not mounting my either Link2SD, mount2SD or by the kernel (About Phone -> System partion).
Please help me as without mounting the 2nd partition I can not install any other app as very very less space is available after CM 10.1.
Thank you.

Use Int2sd+ for cm10.1
You can Google it & download
Note: you when flash ROM when mount system, data,sd-ext..and make ext3 partition

Its still not working. I wonder, if we can do so many things in CM, why can not we simply integrate the script in to the rom itself. I'm damn sure 100% of HTC explorer users must be searching for a way to increase the internal memory of the phone also now a days sd cards are damn cheap.

mount2sd NOT mounted SD-EXT on Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos
hi,
I have a rooted Samsung GT-B5512. Init.d and mountd2sd installed.
Android 2.3.6, kernel: 2.6.35.7.
Trying to move a lot to SD card, including some system files since this is a low end device with little memory. Even with apps like link2sd after a large number of apps the int storage was full :/ therefore trying the mount2sd but it doesn't want to mount the sd partition.
The card (16GB) is formatted as follow: 13 GB FAT32, 1 GB EXT3.
In the section Storage\External mount2sd says Not mounted.
the busybox is installed, the startup script too. Driver is set to EXT but most of fields are grayed out.
Please help.

thank you, I was struggling with this alone for too long ...
Did as you say but same results. Mount2sd doesn't see the SD-EXT.
FYI - I did not install the ClockworkMod,just run it from the Android recovery shell. Anyway it was able to successfully create partitions on the SD.
Don't know if that matters ...
Do you want me to post any screens, or log files (actually mount2sd log is empty, even though debug mode is checked).

My ClockWordMod (CWM-6102) does only ext3 (did not find setting to change type). I'm not sure is there higher CWM for my cell.
I've made the ext4 using MiniTool Part under Windows but it looks like the Mount2SD does not support ext4 in my case. I can choose ext2, ext3, fat, auto but the ext4 is dimmed (could it be Android kernel related?).
Tried then also sd-ext and FAT, still Not Mounted ...

it was kernel thing (BTW - there are very few recovery binaries for this phone, CWM is for example mostly in use as a temporary executed, loaded each tip from ZIP).

[Q] Help on SDCARD partition for data2sd

I am new with data2sd.
I read from another discussion that in order to use data2sd on my TF700 tablet I have to create two partitions on my external SDcard (partition1 = FAT32, while the secod partition is ESXT4). I am using Samsung SDXC 64GB class 10 card. For some reason I could not format the EXT4 successfully. I have tried MiniTool partition and GPart USB and Disk boot.
With latest GPart I receive error "Input/Output errro during write on /dev/mmcblk0" with header message "Libpart Bug Found!".
I tried to leave the first partition empty then format the 2nd partition EST4 as well but it made no different.
Finally I ask a frined to format the card from his Apple laptop and he said he did it. However I am still unable to detect the 2nd paritition.
This time the Gpart softare has shown a Warning message as shown in the attachment.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

I have heard that MiniTool has corrupted a few users SD when they use it. If it is still new, you can get the exchange from where you bought it.
Otherwise, you could try this to see if it works out for you.
You can use a card reader and plug it in your window pc. You need to reformat your SD with extfat. If everything works, then you can use gparted to format two partions, fat32/ext4, to use for data2sd.
If it is still not working, you can go to the SD card associate website and download the format4.0 tool. You need to install the software on your pc and use it to format your SD. In the pull down option, you need to select the "overwrite" option in the menu and hope that they can repartition your allocation table in order for your SD to work again. Good luck... :fingers-crossed:

Finally made EXT4 partition successfully but still fail on DATA2SD
I finally able to format my second partition with EXT4 using TWRP software. However my TF700 tablet is unable to mount the EXT4 or read it under storage menu. I read another forum saying the SDXC UHS-1 card cannot be used for my tablet. Is this true?
Can anyone confirm this? Thank you

EXT4 success but DATA2SD is still failing
Hi, thanks for your comment and advice.

Note: When flashing using that4 DATA2Sd kernel, the screen hung at Asus logo. Tried using Hunsbuah kernel too but no luck. I am using CROMI-X 4.7.0.

Is it a micro SD you are trying to use? The full sized SD in the dock won't work for data2sd.
You must use gparted to format the card. There is no other way.

Take the microSD out and check if it boots normally. You may have corrupted your card with Mini Tool...

I am currently using an exactly the same SD as your. It is working for me. Something may be wrong your end..

Got the partition working and NOW is the mounting problem...
Finally i got my second partition working. The formatting worked after I recreated the partition table using gPART.
Now my ASUS TF700 could not mount the second partition of my Samsung card. It only read th first primary partition. After flashing ROM with CROMI-X 5.0 and select that_4 kernal (DATA2SD), it loop at initial Asus boot logo and then reboot repeatly and endlessly. Is there any step I am missing here? Thanks for any help here.

am using MicroSDXC UHS-1 card 64GB
Hi,
I am using Samsung 64GB microSDXC UHS-1 card and I inserted it into the tablet directly. The tablet could read first FAT32 partition but not the second one (EXT4). I could see the second partition using Mini Partition Tool as well as GPART though.
I am thinking hard now on how to let my TF700 read the EXT4 second partition on my card. ANy idea? Thank you

Hi,
I've the same problem. I tried everything but my TF700 don't like the ext-partition.
SD-Ext Size : -1 MB on the first page of the installer is normal?

Can you tell us all the steps and what tools did you use during the data2sd process? It is helpful with more details.

That's what "intmedia" does.
The ext4 partition should contain your apps and app data.

You have to use the mount-data2sd.zip from the data2sd thread to temporarily switch your recovery to use /data on the microSD card.

Hi, do you mind giving me tips on how to solve my problem? I am thinking if my tablet could not read the 2nd partititon on extenral MicroSD card, I will not get DATA2SD works no matter how. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have also installed mount-data2sd.zip from TWRP 2.6 and then flash Cromi 5.0 ROM using built-in DATA2SD kernel by that_4. the outcome is still negative.
Thanks

May I ask how do you try to read your ext4 SD? Did you flash _that's data2sd zip file? I don't recall that I have ever gotten any problems with the exactly SD that you have...
Edit: If you use _that data2sd kernel, then you don't need to flash _that's data2sd zip file.. However, it is not a bad idea to flash it again to see how your tablet responses..

Hi, the way I checked is when I goto storage option, i could only see the internal and first partition on my external SDcard so I assume the 2nd partition is not recognized? Also using ES Explorer, I clicked "MicroSD" option and it only showed the content in the first SDcard partition.
These are the steps I did:
1- From TWRP 2.6.0, I flash a separate mount-data2sd.zip
2 - still in TWRP, once the above flashing complete, I flash CROMI-X 5.0 deodex and select that_4 data2sd kernel
3 - wipe cache and dalvik cache
4 - reboot system
5 - I got message there is no OS in the internal parition/disk do you want to continue? Since I got no choice, I clicked yes then the screen hang at initial Asus logo screen.
Luckily I have TWRP backup prior so I managed to restore my complete /data, /system and /boot or recovery.
Plz help and advice my misunderstanding or missing steps here. Thanks

First, can you tell me what rom and kernel you are running? I don't think that you can see your ext4 on your external sd unless you are using data2sd.. For now, you can use gparted to see if there is a second partition with ext4.. I need to understand your system a little more in order to help you set up data2sd..
