I can't understand it =.='
folder andboot copy to 1st partition fat32 or 2nd partition ext2 ?
if format 2nd partition with ext2, WM can't see it, so I can't open haret
Just use the sqshfs method. The ext2 method is more for advanced users...

I connected my HTC, choosed active sync and checked if there was any active connection between Linux and the phone to start follow the guide you linked to.
My phone doesnt show up and can't find a answer to why. You might know what the problem could be?

windows mobile won't work with linux (active sync). you need active sync on in windows before you boot android to have a connection with android and the computer (windows or linux). however if you are trying to partition your sdcard, you simply keep the phone in windows mobile, plug it in via usb and select the mass storage option (usb drive). this will show it as a drive in linux and you can use gparted from there.
what are you trying to do?
if you are doing xdandroid build, the latest build does not use more than one partition. if you are using the neopeek build, it has an installer that takes care of everything for you.

I want to permanently remove windows mobile and use android only. I want to do a internal formation to create the fat32 and ext2 partition to put android on so it boots up without giving me an option to use windows mobile or xandroid.

Uhm these guides are for setting up an ext2 (Linux-based) partition on your card... is that what you're trying to do...?

Ah, I read it as formating the phone itself, not the memory card. Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I will leave the studies alone for a while now or else I'll turn into a zombie
yes this is to setup on external (diamond is internal) memory.
currently there is no setting up in nand on our devices. windows mobile is still needed to initalize some hardware. without it android would not run at all at this point.
however there are some roms out there that only boot the minimum needed for winmo and then boots android automatically.

I've been trying to just this but linux won't recognize my phone at all. The problem could be that I'm using VM Virtualbox and using Puppy Linux. I'll have to get my Ubuntu computer up and running.

Hi everyone,
is there any way to extend an existing ext3-partition (512MB, created with ROM Manager) without loosing the data?
I'm using the DJ Droid 1.1-R1 ROM on a Desire and the internal memory was fine (about 90MB free, no matter what i've installed so far). However after installing a few games today it dropped to a mere 20MB. Is it possible, that the ext3 partition is already completely used and the latest apps were just installed to the internal phone memory?
Thanks for any hint and solution
Best wishes,
hunchi

You can expand the ext3 partition on the SD card by using something like gparted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php).
This is probably not your problem though. Although your apps are on the SD card the data is still on the internal memory and this is what is reducing your available memory.
Thanks for the help! Will have a look into gparted once it gets necessary. Indeed, the problem was somewhere else: After I rebooted the free internal memory went back to 85MB. However I have no idea what caused this memory usage and the memory release after the reboot... Anyways, as long as it works, I'm happy
Thx again!
extend partition
The most efficient way to extend partition, you asked, and will not wiping data.
I think, want to finish this work, use Extend Partition Assistant Professional Edition. As I knew, this software has gained the best opinion by the users.
And I have tried several times, certainly flawless.

My experience with Partition assistant is that it will not recognize a SD card, only hard disk.
I also recommend the use of gparted. But before this action you should save all data (very easy with linux, because it does not hide any files). If you do not have any linux, download ubuntu live cd, burn it and start your computer with it:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
When you connect your phone with your computer, linux should recognize two partitions: The FAT32 partition and the ext partition (you can find out which is which by comparing the partition sizes). Copy their content on an external storage (e.g. an usb stick): Create two folders, one for fat32 and one for ext. Copy the content in the corresponding folders. Partition the sd-card again with gparted or your phone's recovery system. Start your computer with ubuntu live, connect phone to computer and copy the content of the fat32 and ext partition back to the sd card.
Hi,
copy your data to you hard drive and then BU all your app + data with nandroid and titanium backup then extend your partition on windows disc manager and restore everything.

This will not working. Windows does not support the creating of ext partition (much less the change of it).
I used the GParted GUI utility in Ubuntu. Worked wonders for me!
used gparted also, done twice and no issue. save your data from sd.
to do this i use vmplayer and let run ubuntu distri

Are you use ubuntu live cd, if you do not want to get used with virtual machines (vm).
@matdroid
i know about live cd even usb... advantage of vmplayer is that you launch it without any reboot while playing with your current OS. nowodays comp are enough powerfull to supporte both environment. give a try

It's not new to me that computer from today are powerful enough for vms. That's not the point. With live cd's you do not have a running system in background which can disturb. Thats exactly why i use/prefer them. On this way i can concentrate on this one operation very easy. But that's a personal thing.
tool good on pc for fragargon

Hi,
i have a severe problem with my Desire. In at least two different ROMs i can't get the Hard Drive Mode to work. The SD Card contains a FAT32 partition and an Ext2 Partition when i activate it, my windows PC tells me, i should format the card.
What's interesting, is that it works, when i boot into Clockwork and mount the SD in the partitions menu. I get full access to the FAT32 partition in Windows (obviously no access to Ext2 Partition).
WHY is that, and what can i do against it? I find this extremely annoying.
Regards, Max.
PS: I'm gonna bump this topic into the sky, until my problem is solved, so don't even try ignoring it
First thing, it's been almost 2 hours and I'm responding. Topics do get answered eventually, just no one lives on XDA really.
Windows doesn't pick up ext partitions because ext partitions are Linux and Windows does not support it. I also am assuming your using A2SD. The ext2 partition is old so going to ext3 might solve your problem, although you will need to format your SD Card to do that.
first of all: thank you for your answer.
1) i've asked questions here before and most of them havent been replied to at all, so i'm kinda frustrated.
2) windows doesnt work with ext 2. i know that. thats why i wrote "in Windows (obviously no access to Ext2 Partition)"
3) my problem is that the FAT partition doesnt work in windows, linux sometimes recognizes it, but thats not the point.
Windows keeps telling my to format the device, when i put it in mass storage mode (booted android of course). but when i use the usb host in clockwork recovery, windows can work with the FAT partition flawlessly.
Maybe my initial post was a little misleading. I just wanted to be able to move some files around on my phone in windows!
Just format it and it'll be fine. Just remember to take what ever you have off your SD card, back it up first then format it. I do agree, sometimes they cannot get answered but still. Also, yes it was a little misleading, maybe I read it wrong I don't know. Just a format will do.
I would like to partition my HTC Desire's 2gb class 2 SD card into FAT32 followed by ext2.
I heard that GParted requires booting from a drive, however my com does not support it.
Any other ways to partition my card without requiring drive boot? Incidentally i do not have linux, only windows vista .
Easus partition manager I can think of. Vista does not read and cannot create EXT partitons.
Ext2? I recommend 3 or 4 - most scripts supports those.
Your PC does not support boot from CD/USB? 15 years old PC or what?

hmmm its a Presario V3000?
It must have an option then... my older ASUS F51R had.
Possibly you can turn it on in the BIOS or just push F8/F12 when boots up to select where to boot from. (F8/F12 are the 2 most common keys - depends on laptop)
Easeus can only do up to ext3 which kind of sucks but I think there is a script to upgrade ext3 to ext4 somewhere
Yeah but the script is totally complicated.

Every pc should support booting from different drives
If you have a usb-stick you can get GParted USB (instructions and download inside)
When starting up the computer, just keep on pressing F12 like a madman in order to get to the device selection screen

lol, Did not notice all the posts above. Alternatively you can use Amon-RA recovery, it supports formatting sd-cards to ext3 or ext4.

I heard ROM manager doesnt really work ._.
Rom Manager is crap for partitioning. Try AmonRA as suggested, or the GParted USB version (I have that too - 200MB needed and works on any laptop I tried - Sony Vaio, ASUS F51R)
Second that
hee hee my friend suggested to me since his phone can partition with clockworkmod( HTC Desire HD) i can put my card into his phone and partition. hopefully that works...
Right I am a complete noob to this scene of flashing and roms and what not.
So far I have rooted my HTC Desire and used Titanium back up to back up apps and system data.
I am now in the stage of partitioning but dont know which way to go, I have done a lot of research and cannot make my mind.
ROM Manager has a limit and can cause problems.
Gparted confuses the hell out of me.
I am planning to use Minitools partition program as a friend recommended it to me but I heard other problems can occur. However this does seem like the easier way.
Any advice?
What part of GParted confuses you? I find it incredibly easy to use, either by boot CD or on ubuntu...if it's just the "making the boot CD" part then I recommend sticking with it because once it boots it's real easy (IMO of course )
Sorry if this post is unhelpful btw - just wondering what part you find confusing!

Well some tutorials say you have to use it when you boot your pc/laptop unless Im wrong.
Plus I have no blank CDs
Yeah you can. It's really worth buying a blank CD though
Have you thought of installing this?
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
It installs on your hard drive, and you can select to boot it when you start your computer. You can then download GParted when ubuntu loads up, and use it that way - it's quite simple tbh. Take a look here for more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
Plus, it's always handy to have an easily accessible version of ubuntu (or so I've found...)
Okay if I do use that method do I get my laptop to read the SD card through the Desire as I have no SD card reader?
In addition I heard Minitools Partitioning wizards is much simpler?
I've never used Minitools Partitioning wizard, sorry.
But yeah, if you boot into recovery then enable USB storage (obviously whilst plugged into the laptop...) you'll be able to partition it. Just make sure you know what you're doing and that you have any files you want to keep backed up.
If you just want to partition for CM 7.0.0, ROM Manager is the thing for you. You won't go over those limits, trust me. Other thing is, if you do it in gparted, your Phone will think the sd-card is corrupted and wants to format it.
--breecube
It's vica versa. ROM manager is crap. made my card corupt 2 times.
Gparted made card seen corrupted by phone? Well, you've done something wrong.
Just install Ubuntu (can be on pendrive if u dont want dual boot), and install gParted on it (it has nice GUI unlike this one from Live CD).
Problems fix'd, its nice & easy.
ROM Manager also formats the card before partitioning. Not the way to go (cause I lost my phone data - including backup - when formatting from ROM Manager).
Anyway - you don't need a CD for Gparted - you can mount the ISO file in any virtual machine (Virtual Box/VMWare) and it'll run perfectly.
Just make sure that the EXT partition is a PRIMARY partition. Confusing, yes - but it isn't. Your FAT32 (current partition with your data etc) is PRIMARY, and so will this.
In other words - you should have two primary partitions.
Cheers
How do you partition in the recovery mode? sorry for the noob question. I partitioned my sd card using Rom manager so now its EXT2 right? how do i make it to EXT3? thank you
Under advanced menu, where you wipe the dalvik cache.
Hi All,
I have a problem with my SD card. My phone doesn't recognise SD card after I created ext4 partition through partition magic on windows 7. Here is what happened.
- I have rooted desire running CM 7.0.3.
- I wanted to go back to Starburst 1.4 rom.
- I have class 4 16 gb sd card (fat + ext3) with 512 mb of ext3 and rest fat32 (this was when everything was running good)
- I flashed the new rom through CWM, but only got like 54 mb on sd left.
- So I manually formatted ext3 and changed it to ext4 using partition magic on windows 7 (connected sd card through a reader).
- After that I flashed the new rom, but still got the same size left.
- After that I went back to CM7.0.3 which is working fine for me.
However, at this time, my phone doesn't recognise my SD card.
- I saw that I can't format ext in recovery as i get this error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2(File exists)
Error mounting SDEXT: !
I believe I was able to install CM7.0.3 coz it was a small rom was fit directly into phone's internal memory.
At this time, I can't see my SD card on phone. Can't play music or install any files or anything.
Looking for some quick help.
Thanks,
Satyam

Hi Matt,
So are you saying that you got your SD card formatted by someone else using Rom Manager ?
- As of now, when I click on the inbuilt ROM Manager in CM7, it says " The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager!"
That means my SD card is abviously not read by my phone.
Looking for some help. I don't want to do something silly at this time.
Atleast, as of now my phone is not bricked and is working, just the SD is not.
Any suggestions/comments or link to my problem is more than welcome.
Thank You
Hmmm, i smell another usb brick here, we've had so many these days, and all by people using cwm and flashing gb sense roms...just to prove i'm right, can you connect the phone to your pc? If you're not able to do that, then u have 100% chance it's a usb brick.
OMG !! yeah you're right.. now when I connected my phone using a USB, it doesn't give me the option to "mount USB".
What do to from here ? I don't know what is a USB brick and am pretty poor with linux commands !!!
Plz help.. However I can see a a couple of ROMs through recovery mode in my SD card, but can't flash those which require an EXT.

Are you saying that formatting SD card and making fresh ext partition through a media reader will not help in this case ?
I am very confused so to say.. I read the link that you posted, it talks about CID which I'm not able to find.. Can't see that option in fast boot (recovery).
Is there some other way to fix all this ?

Nope: i'm sorry but there is no other way...the problem lies in the misc partition, and that one doesn't get touched by simply toying with your sd, it's on nand, and no rom flashing/nandroid restore can touch it either. This process is the only way to go. CID can be obtained via adb command, i hope you'll have it installed and set up correctly.

Hi,
Okay I get it.. I need to fix my nand partition, now question -
1) I can figure out the 1st step "Find out your CID. Go into fastboot mode, and do 'fastboot oem boot" - Nothing happens when I click on fast boot option in recovery mode. The other method CID generator also asks for CID.. how do I get that.. that's my biggest question.
2) How can I see the rom version.
I know, I might me sounding stupid, but I'm not a pro.. used to love flashing new ROMs earlier and this time I just messed it up.
Need some step-by-step help.. I might be asking for too much, but I trust this forum and believe Android has too many fans hooked to it.. so I will get some help

Also just want to let the forum know that I'm running a custom ROM (CM 7) and don't see the option of software info under Settings>About phone. Any other way to find out rom version ???????/
Ok, sorry man, i was out for a ride
To see the CID you have to type "fastboot oem boot" in the terminal, after navigating to the path where you have the sdk, for example:
"cd c:/sdk/tools"
"fastboot oem boot"
Then you should get all the info, together with the CID ofc...obviously you need to have adb installed and working in order to do that (there ia a lot of tutorials for that, just use the search function).
As to rom version, you don't need it, just download the mtd0.img, open it with the hex editor and mod it with your CID, then go for the next step
I dont believe you have bricked your phone, i think you have created a partition on it without making it a primary partition along with the fat32 parition.
boot into recovery and mount your SD card to your PC. Reformat the whole card and then it should work again, you may just be able to go into your partition software and amend to show 'primary' on each, if not read on. Couple of options then, download ROM manager from the market and reformat the ext3 using rom manger if not do it via your windows software but make sure both partitions are set to 'Primary'.

hi, seems you got bad partition on your sd card, since it s normal that you can't mount sd while plug on usb.
did you already put out your sd card out the phone and try to read it with a usb scard reader plug on your computer??
cid error mean you have messed-up your misc partition which is the one in your nand where the recovery is located... didn't see any error about this in your thread...
in the boot, should fail with error misc partiton cid unknown etc...
have a try about sd card reader it's easer than misc error fix
give a try on this site and try using gparted cd live... don't need to be expert in linux command (it s a graphical interface) should you know that FIRST FAT32 PRIMARY partition and LAST EXT3 (is less fast but really more stable and relyable fs) PRIMARY partition

Fixing misc doesn't take more than a minute if you have a working adb...repartitioning micro sd card takes loads of time instead, especially if it's big, coz you have to backup all of your data then copy them back, and that's a pain, especially if the sd isn't very fast.
Anyway you might be right there, just the other day a guy had a similar issue caused by multiple ext partitions not being recognized properly. I just thought it was a usb brick coz it's very common since the new gb sense roms rolled out and people started partitioning like crazy with cwm (which really SUCKS at that), and this either cause misc corruption or messed partitions on sd card: i'd suggest everyone to partition with amon them flash back any 3.0+ cwm to flash the rom, if you don't have the chance of using linux live cd (but you really should).
All sorted --------- RESLOVED !!!!
Okay Listen all Desire Owners-- I was able to fix this USB brick without having to go through all which was available on internet..

1) Came home and formatted my EXT4 to ext3 and simply reflashed cm7 rom
All worked like charm - Now My SD card is mountable and works perfectly
Good for you
Anyway make sure you set up adb properly on your pc, it will save your life some day: it takes a while but it's worth it...i wouldn't get inti the rom flashing thing without it. Just a suggestion
Bests.
