Unable to install rom with 64 GB sd card - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hi guys,
I recently got an old htc explorer and i am trying to make it possible to live with. I have a 64 GB sd card installed and i want to install Fly rom on it cause it has excellent reviews. When i try to partition my sd card using mini partition wizard the program wont allow me and when i try to do it using recovery image (A310, TWRP, CWM) it says complete but when i mount sd-ext it says error mounting. Anw i copied the files needed for this rom in my sd card (which is FAT32 formatted) and i install the rom. But the process gets stuck in boot screen and nothing happens .. What i' m i doing wrong?
Thanks

If you format it to FAT32 you can use it!

hey rickwyatt,
Thanks for your work. I am have been able to flash the boot image using your steps. I partitioned my sd card using Miniool Partition Wizard and created one FAT and other Ex3 which also formated the card. When I now boot my racer having sd card inside it does not start. It stays on 2nd logo (Three) and keep coming back. It gets started if the sd card is not in the phone. Any idea what could be the cause of this issue?
Also your steps do not mention if the sd card (after partition) needs to be in the phone when applying above steps, so I did it with both ways but no success.
Your help will be really appreciated.
also, somehting to note that after having deleted the partitions and reverting it back to FAT, phone does get started even with the sd card inside.
Do you know if the above steps (flashboot) will write any data on sd card (either FAT or ex3 partition)? coz If not, then it means my phone is still rooted and I can look into some other tools to create the ex3 partition and see if it works.
-----
UPDATE:
After doing some investigation I found that the process required another partition of format "Linux Swap" (for more than 32 mb) along with FAT and Ex3. Doing this allowed the mobile to start with memory card inside and the phone was rooted. BUT I cannot see an aaps2sd application. Also there is no way in Managing Applications that I can move data. Going to try installing Apps2SD separatly now.
did u succeed?

Only if you want to remove problems like low internal memory and want to use A2SD
My phone doesn't detect it either.
at start it gives small card with ! mark.
I tried formatting the card wholly with fat32,
I even tried making different partitions fat32+ext4.
In both ways my phone doesn't detect the memory card.
But when I do the update in recovery mode it updates through sd card.
My memory card is perfectly working on PC and other devices.
Try using the partition sd card option in recovery if you want to use Link2SD, A2SD or S2E.
Guys, do the cards ext2 or 3 , not 4. Don't know why but...... It worked for me. And if you partition them, make both partitions primary.

Thank you very much..I had the same problem, I formatted my SD card to ext3,fat32 and a swap partition and Wolla..its working fine:victory:.
There are some issues with ext4 partitions.
ext4 partition are said to be better but they might have some problems.
So if you encounter any, format it completely and delete all partitions. Using your phone recovery to make partition would be better.
Sometimes your second partition(i.e. sd-ext) is not detected by your recovery, and your main fat32 is works fine. Well that happened with me and i searched for solutions for long time. But did get any.
Later i fixed it by flashing the last cwm recovery with which the sd-ext partition was getting detected. Seems like the new version of recovery was the problem. Or something else, I don't know.

[Q] Link2SD Problem

Hi,
After searching a lot here and other place, I didn't find the solution of my problem.
I have 8gb card.
1st break up
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
rest - FAT32 - Primary.
Link2SD is not able to mount.
Displaying in storage info as - "SD Card 2nd Part." Not Mounted.
------------------------------------------
2nd try, with another breakup.
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
1.2GB - EXT2 - Primary
60MB - L.Swap - Primary
rest - Unallocated.
From Link2SD, I m able to see that sdext2 is mounted.
So for a demo purpose, I installed an application, The auto linking starts but get fails. Not able to create link /bla/bla/ - I/O error.
I did mount that location as RW with root explorer, no luck.
Please let me know what to do and how to resolve it.
Hi
What app did you use to format the sd card?
When i format my sd card using the cwm, i have to format the ext particion using easeus to ext2 particion, witch is the format that the stock rom suports, when i did that, i go to the app, select ext2 and reboot the device, that does the trick
Tell if it works for you

Hi psicop,
Thanks for your reply, I used MiniTool.
Please suggest how/what to do..
I partitioned my sd with CWM and used A2SD, and it works fine.
Maybe you could try to partition it with CWM?

Link2SD automatically moves all files in SD. Its seems better that A2SD. Correct me if I m wrong.
Also, please tell how to flash recovery to CWM ? I downloaded 1 click recovery and installed the v5.0.2.8 , at the time of flashing, it display failed.
Please direct me from where you did that...
Please help someone, my phone memory is full now... i can also add person to my gtalk or y! messenger....
Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
If so, partition your SD from there, and if I'm correct, go to Link2sd, and choose ext4 as partition format... worked for me after numerous fails with other tools...
Edit: search for a tutorial to install CWM. That's how I installed it...

Apps in SD not working
I dunno if its relevant in this thread, but i couldnt find the answer anywhere else.
I partitioned my 8gb class 10 sd card and installed link2sd and all was fine. I created links for most of my apps and everything was fine, until I had to remove my sd card for some data transfer. Now my apps that were shifted previously are not working. For your information I use CM11 in my Galaxy ace.

Seems like you have to reinstall them, dunno why but removing the card might have had created problems.

The problem got solved, when I mounted the script again and did a reboot. When the phone boots, link2sd has to update all the links. There is an option available for this in the settings. Anyways thanks :good:

[Q] SD card won't mount - Have I bricked it?

Hi guys.
Almost total noob here - not quite, but still.
I have a Pico/Explorer.
I rooted, flashed CWM 5.05, then a MIUI ROM.. all worked well. Then I wanted to try the new Triumph HD ROM. Initiall install was succesful.
I partitioned my SD card with 1024 ext3 and a swap of 128Mb
Wiped, installed ROM, no problems.
I didn't see that int2ext was supported (by command line, apparently) so I tried installing mount2sd from the play store.
After enabling everything in that app, I rebooted.
Phone became stuck on lock screen.. would not respond to any touches or buttons. But the UI updated when the battery got low, made a noise on low battery etc, and the time was updated.
I booted into recovery to test the buttons, all work fine. I checked my partition log and it said various errors like could not find this or that mount point.
I partitioned again, this time is was extremely slow. I put the SD card into my mac to add the images, but it wasn't found.
Now when I partition it does it really quick - on inspecting the log, it says "err: /dev/block/mmcblk0 does not exist!"
I can't mount the /sdcard or the /sd-ext in recovery.
Have I f!cked my SD card or my device?
Thanks for any help.
Connect your sd-card to pc using card reader if it shows sd-card then ok
If it not show ur sd-card then run minitool partition wizard
And find the sd-card there and format it and delete the sd-ext partition and re-create it using recovery
And never use two memory script at one time
Before using the another memory script remove the previous one

little pico
Thanks dude.
When I plug it in with a USB card reader, the SD card doesn't show - in minitool or anywhere else at all.
I think it's dead. Will have to buy a new one.
I will be careful with overclocking in future
Thanks again.
Put your card in the phone and boot into recovery.. Then mounts/storage and try to mount usb storage when connected to pc.. If the mem card shows up in your pc then try putting the card in a non android phone and delete the partitions.. Even my sd card didn't show up in a card reader.. But it showed up when I used a non android phone..

make sure your sd card is usable - connect it to PC and check if it is being read. If yes, then continue. If no, then replace it.
Backup your entire SD card.
Delete all partitions and make one single partition using the Minitool Partition Wizard. Once done, try partitioning with the Recovery. this way you can ensure max compatibility.
And btw, only use swap if you are using Swapper, and only if your ROM supports it. Not all ROM support swapping. I recommend you to set swap to 0, our Pico is capable enough to run flawlessly without swap.
Once done, Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, flash your rom again and after one reboot flash mounts2sd or int2ext. Never use two scripts at a time.
same problem
It happened only with Triumph ROM for me no matter what i do the doesn't mount when i connect via usb tethering to my pc..I had to reboot into recovery for the memory card to show up in the pc..Can any one help me on this?
I never installed any secondary memory script..Just flashed the latest Triumph version after a superwipe....
The memory card never shows up on the pc but only in recovery..
format using minitool partion
format using minitool partion it'll fix sd card errors

[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>
