Hello!
My name is Chris and i have a problem.
Here the details:
Bootloader: 10.6.1.14.10
Recovery: TWRP 28.7.2 @area51 KANG
SD Cards: Samsung microSDHC PRO 32GB - partition1 15GiB NTFS, partition2 14,xx GiB EXT4 /data, partition3 1GiB EXT4 /system.
Kingston UHS-I U3 microSDXC 64GB - partition1 30GiB NTFS, partition2 29,xx GiB F2FS
My Goal was to use the Kingston Card for DATA2SD accelerating the internal system and the Samsung Card for ROM2SD to Dualboot.
As Rom i wanted to use Zombi-Pop in both cases.
Before, i had Crombi-KK on internal without DATA2SD and on the Samsung Card with ROM2SD. All worked fine.
I also want to use F2FS on internal paritions (system, cache, date) and on ext_data (Kingston). EXT4 for the ROM2SD system (Samsung; ext_system, ext_data)
I'm pretty sure this configuration has to work.
But since flashing Zombi-Pop the first time I got an infinite booting animation.
So i have a few questions:
Is my planned configuration even possible?
Do i have to flag the system and data partitions on SD Card with gparted as /system and /data?
Do i have to flash the kernel seperately? Usually sbdags ROMs do this but i have the suspicion it is not updated correctly so it is confused with my config? Just a suspicion.
Maybe my partitions are corrupted? Or F2FS is the problem. I formatted all internal partitions and the ext_data of the Kingston Card with TWRP to F2FS. Zombi-Pop then reformats /system to EXT4 and leaves the others be.
I'd appreciate any help from you guys filled with knowledge

I ask myself, why did you think it necessary to start a new thread to ask about this ?
Why did you not ask in the rom thread ?
But if you would like some help, join us on irc, when you get sometime

I have kingston 32gb memory card, class 6.
I maked 30gb fat32 & 1gb ext4 partition through gparted.
Everything seems to be ok. But it's not. Ext4 is not working. Like it's invisible.
When i refresh memory card I get some error sign near ext4 partition, and when i click for more information:
Anyone knows where problem might be?
anyone with solution?

hi
looks like you want to do the same thing than me but ... as i learn at this time, there is no way to use ext4 partition on external sd card, just with some tools on internal sdcard.
android doesn't have script and code to mount under /mnt ext4 partitons just FAT32 !!!!!!!! great
I hope this is appropriate for the Development forum as it relates to the two recoveries here - CWM 6.0.1.4 and TWRP 2.3.0.0. I have previously posted in both those threads. I have not seen any comments about problems so it would be good to know if I am not alone.
I have the 64Gb version of the TF700T with JB (unfortunately, no NVflash).
I have been using the Sandisk 64Gb UHS1 card. It came formatted with exFAT and was one of the few that worked OK under the original firmware. I could not get either CWM or TWRP to see the card at all in recovery mode.
I found a spare 16Gb card that was formatted in Fat32. That worked fine and mounted without a problem under both CWM and TWRP.
I then did a full format of the 16Gb card under Windows 7 to exFAT and it would not work. With CWM I tried a simple backup and got 'Can't mount backup path'. Then tried to Mount /sdcard and got 'Error mounting /sdcard'. In TWRP I could not select or mount the card.
Next I did a full format to NTFS. With CWM I still have the same problem. With TWRP it allows me to select the card and it can be browsed in TWRP's File Manager. However, when I try to create a backup I get an error creating backup path.
Is it just me or can no one properly mount and backup direct to the external card with CWM or TWRP when the card is formatted in exFAT or NTFS?
As the 64Gb card cannot be formatted with Fat32 then does that mean I will not be able to use my 64Gb card and backup direct to the card?
TIA
norm
EDIT: The precise error I am getting from TWRP is 'E:Unable to create folder: /external_sdcard/TWRP (errno=30)'.
It has to be FAT32 for some reason. I had the same issue so I bought a cheap card just to have an SD Card with my nandroid backups on it.
NTFS mounts as read only in TWRP which isn't all that useful but that's due to the kernel. exFAT has a much stricter license than regular FAT so I doubt that you will ever see exFAT support in a Linux kernel.
Maybe I will dabble with the kernel config & try to get NTFS to mount writable.
What about ext4, is it possible to format in ext4 and have android recognize it and the recovery... just a thought since Linux does support it and IMO ext4 is superior to fat32 and ntfs.
Moved to correct board (hint, unless you actually POST development, it doesn't belong on development......)
kernel-10.4.4.25-nodpi-data2sd.zip - 5.75 MB kernel don't work TF300T. Which kernel data2SD support for TF300T 32gb version. Please help me
I have 16 gb sandisk micro sd class10
Formatted Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home:
First partition 3gb Fat32 Primary
Second Partition 13gb Ext4 Flagged Set Active & Boot Primary
but it did not work..
Hi!
My current setup is (was?) CROMi-X with Hund's 3.2.0 kernel + DATA2SD. I wanted to wipe and reflash everything from the beginning. I took my Sandisk 64GB microSD (which was working like a charm before) to repartition it in gparted. I set two primary partitions, first is a 8GB FAT32 partition, the rest of the card is an ext4 partition with boot flag. I shoved the card into my laptop to put some zips, as usual.
Well, the problem is that my tf700 doesn't see my 8GB partition, both under ES File Explorer and TWRP. I can't flash ROM beacause I can't select microSD in TWRP, and I can't copy it to internal memory, beacuse there is no ext_card directory...
If someone knows how to make FAT32 appear under TWRP again I would be really thankful
I can´t remember correctly, but I think few days ago I was not able to read a CM ROM from my external SD card that was formatted with ext4.
So, does Clockworkmod support ext4 or does it not? I badly want ext4 to avoid the 4GB file size limit of fat32.
Thank you.
EDIT: Now I know. I have CWM version 6.x from CM 10.2 nightly and CWM cannot read ext4 formated volumes. Though I read CWM was meant to support ext4!? Obviously it does not.
EDIT2: Today I was able to mount a USB drive connected to the phone that was formatted with ext4. I do not know, why I am able to mount this ext4 device now and why I was not able to mount my ext4 formatted sdcard.
