Sd Card Partitioning - General Questions and Answers

I tried to partition my new samsung evo 32gb sdcard with the minitool partition wizard 9. Before partitioning it i formatted it on my pc in fat32 format(it was exfat by default). The problem is that the sd card doesn't get partitioned on the wizard. It gets corrupted every time i try to do it and my computer becomes unable to read it then. Then i have to format it again using twrp installed on my phone but am also unable to partition it in ext3/ext4 format using twrp. The partitioning process fails repeatedly. I need help regarding partitioning it for link2sd. I'm using resurrection remix 5.5.9 on lenovo A7000.

[Q] Increasing internal memory via d2ext

I used Link2SD first to create a partition , it did create a external partition but it showed me every time that the script couldn't be mounted.I tried it with ext2/3/4 as well as FAT 32/16 but no use.Now I want to repartition my SD card and want to try it again with d2ext.How to repartition my card? I tried to format it after creating a back up but it is still showing that it has a external partition. plus, I am not getting the option of 'partition sd card' in the advanced menu in the recovery.
What to do?
can u be more precise!
Use MiniTool partition manager(computer) for it.
Create partition with FAT32 of desired space.
Insert SD card in phone
And open link2SD, it will ask you for script.
Try with Fat32 or ext2.
It should work.

[Q] Problem Creating partition in twrp affects sd size

I have a 32 gb micro sd card in my Samsung Fascinate. I attempted to create a partition using twrp recovery, but it failed everytime saying that it could not find the partition. Now when I use my card though it only shows 23.9 gb even though it is completely empty. This was a legit card and it showed the correct amount of gb proir to the failed partition. I don't know why my partition setup failed or why it is now only allowing 23.9 gb.
Thanks
I too am facing the same problem with my Kingston 64GB Class 10 micro SD card in my Sprint HTC One M8 using captain throwback's custom TWRP recovery version 2.8.4 on official kitkat 4.4.4 rom. The phone is (obviously rooted/ S-O).
Any help would be appreciated.

Try reformat your SD Card using MINITOOL PARTITION WIZARD (windows apps) into fat32. Before doing it, connect SD card to your computer just delete second partition you''ve made with twrp. (you can see it from your computer)
How to use mini partition wizard just Google it.
Thanks a lot for the tip my sd card now works perfectly and all is good!

You have put your self in a major mess. You should have partitioned the SD card using CWM. Now you can try to partition SD card using CWM just forget the 1Gb partion that you lost.

SD card 2nd partition not mounting on Redmi 1S, please help!

Hi all, I'm using a Redmi 1S phone with 16Gb SD card. Up until a few days ago, my phone was running well on MIUI 7 ROM, was rooted and my downloaded apps linked to SD card using Link2SD app. The SD card had two partitions, one 12 GB FAT32 main partition and one 4 GB 2nd partition, also FAT32 format.
A few days ago, an app update caused my phone to brick, which I subsequently fixed by flashing the redmi 1S ROM to my phone. The phone is now updated to MIUI Global 8.1, with android version 4.4.4. However, after rooting the phone and trying to link my apps to SD card 2nd partition again, Link2SD kept saying that mount scripts had been created and I needed to reboot the phone to mount the 2nd partition. However, after rebooting, the same message would appear, indicating that the 2nd partition failed to mount.
I tried to fixed this using the Aparted app ( which I used to partition the SD card before) and reformatted the SD card so the 2nd partition is in ext2 format, but the same messages and refusal to mount occurred. I then reformatted the 2nd partition to ext4, but same issue occured again. The 1st partition does show as mounted, but the 2nd partition cannot be detected at all by Link2SD.
Appreciate any advice on how to resolve this. Thank you!
