Sd card

I have a sd card. i partitioned it using paragon partition manager mounting sd card thru phone. THen moved apps2sd and then decide to delete partition. So i being unable to delete the partition used windows own partition management to delete all the partitions. Then i decided to again partitions the card. Now i can't. Paragon partition manager can't do it. Used the sd split(ques- do we need an empty card for that). My phone storage went to 0 mb. Can anybody help me to again partition it. I really need it with haykuro's 5.02 H as it has only 43 mb free space. Please!!! Help.
Thanks for reading and now please do something

I haven't used paragon before but I would suggest using gparted through an ubuntu(or some other linux distro) live cd. Basically you download the cd image, burn it onto a cd, restart your computer with the cd in and it'll bring up a little menu that gives you the option to start up in ubuntu off the cd. Then go to System->(can't remember, but it's the second option)->Partition Editor. It has a nice gui and you just choose the last device listed which should be your sd card(check the size to make sure!) and you can create new partitions. Making an ext2 partition correctly in windows is a tad... difficult.
EDIT: actually, you can just use this:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

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.

Your SD card will be formatted, old partition deleted, new partition created.

Just in case it isn't clear, you will lose all data on the sd card when you repartition. If you use gparted, you can accomplish the same thing, while preserving the data.

Copy your all data from SD card.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
This will delete all your old partitions from SD card.
Now reboot in CWM recovery and partition your SD card according to your need.
Restore your data.
Cheers!!!

Use minipartition tool from a PC, connect your phone as usb storage and it will resize your sd card partition without formatting.

Success
ThanX for the Help Guys...
I have successfully resized my partition to 512 MB using ClockworkMod Recovery. As mentioned by "upconvert"...old partition deleted, new partition created.
Would like to share my experience with the below tools...
GParted - Itz an 100 MB ISO file & after downloading got to know that it can be used only from Boot mode :bad:
MiniTool Partition - This one has a pretty neat UI & the setup is sized just 14 MB. The problem here was the Resize option didn't work for me. Not sure on the exact reason , maybe it requires the memory card to be connected using a card Reader & not as a USB storage.

I don't know why minitool partition didn,t work, I personally used it on a phone connected as usb storage. Maybe there is a problem with order of operations (delete one partition before resize the other etc. but i'm not sure).
Anyway I'm happy that you solved your problem.

Can you provide a tutorial on how to do that? I have a 16 GB SD card. Out of the 14GB available, 13GB is my main partition. 1 GB is my app partition. I want to increase the app partition without formatting my SD Card.
Thanks!

MiniTool Partition Wizard 10 worked perfectly for resizing a 16GB to 64GB for the kids' Kindle Fire tablet. I initially cloned the 16GB partition to the 64GB using WinDiskImager32, then resized it afterwards.

[Q] tf101 internal os installation without os

Hello
I wanted to install Katkiss on my tf101. I wiped all the things I had to and headed to the installation part but my tablet couldn't recognize any external SDs. I use TWRP so it should have been supported.
I could get into apx mode but I don't know if I can put files on my tab from there. My PC can't recognize the tab if I try it in an other way. So someone can please help me and give some solutions for reaching the internal SD with a USB connection?
I guess I can install the files from TWRP after it .
Any help would be appreciated. ?

If TWRP is working, put files on a microSD and install the OS. Otherwise, you will need to use APX and something like EasyFlasher to install TWRP or the stock firmware.

I have spread installed TWRP as I remember I also used EasyFlasher to do it. As I mentioned my tf101 couldn't read any SD card that's why I've asked for a hint to put the katkiss files on my internal card.

How is the microSD formatted?
Did you boot to TWRP after installing the microSD?
What version of TWRP are you running? Not all of them support ADB via USB.

My TWRP version is 2.2.1.4 and the SD card is "general hierarchical". As I know I need a FAT32 card to make it work but I couldn't find a way to format mine. If you know a way to do this than it's also good for me. I also tried a FAT32 pen drive through the keyboard but it - of course - didn't work.

I don't have a card reader and my PC didn't find the card when I tried with a phone having the SD card inside.
Do you think it might work if I format my external hdd to fat32 or the tf 101 won't recognize it?

Take a look at HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.
It is an app for windows.
You might look up on Google for its download link.
