Hey. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I used the adapter and connected my SD card. Then when I click open it says I need to format it. I clicked ok but it says the card is "write protected" and the format fails and I can't view the contents. I'm using a Sandisk 2GB micro SD.

For anyone who can't make it to work or the fat32 partition cannot be read by your pc try this method.

"Simple Tip"

Make sure to Create a partition that is formatted to ext2/ext3/ext4 first. before creating the fat32 partition.

Mount Script Error: Invalid Argument

Link2SD 2.4.4 installed.

Rooted and confirmed with Android Terminal Emulator and Superuser is active and the Terminal Emulator picking up on the Superuser as per Bul Akpinar's FAQs.

When the phone is switched on the box comes up with 'Superuser permission has been granted'.

When you run Link2SD you then have the box to select ext2, ext3 etc. but none of them work. The box says 'Mount Script cannot be created. Mount: Invalid argument'.

If you use 'More' to select 'clean up 2nd partition' it gives a failure /data/sdext2 mount not found.

Storage info says SD card 2nd Part. Not mounted.

This occurs with all options. Selecting ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT32/FAT16 in both the Minitool and the Link2SD part of the process.

I have used the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to access both a 16GB and a 32GB SD card. I have tried all options - ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT and FAT32. Whichever options I try they have no effect with the same outcome of the mount script error.

I have in the past successfully been running this set-up with no problems until icons started to disappear last week and apps started to be unusable. I have had to do a factory reset and start all over again.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Android 2.3.6. Baseband version S5830iXXLD2. Kernel version 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL159#1. Gingerbread.XXLE3

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 247cookie:
That you for your help.

It seems that my new SD card was corrupt and had been causing all the problems. I have now successfully done a factory reset, formatted the old 16GB SD card and started again. I have only made the EXT2 partition 800MB this time and all seems to be running fine so far.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chalkos:
it seems like the ext partition is not mounted.

try recreating the mount script from the menu, select the right partition filesystem (ext2/3/4 or FAT) and reboot
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tranmere:
i have done it many2 time still wont work,or maybe the problem is not the kernel but the ROM otself ? :good:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chalkos:
If the rom supports ext2 like the dev said, then it should work.

Try it like this (sorry if this is the same you have been doing..): open link2sd then hit the menu key and then select more. select recreate mount script and then ext2

if the partitions are in place and the second one is ext2 then it should create a script. Reboot your phone and in the "storage info" screen you should see the second partition and you should be able to move apps to the second partition after that.

if this doesn't work, can you tell if there were any errors? maybe while creating the mount script or after rebooting...

I usually don't format using the computer, I use CWM formating option, but it creates an ext3 partition, so in your case I don't know if that would work.

Try double-checking the partition table on the computer (you can use mini partition tool for that). Just make sure you have 2 partitions on your SD card and that the first one is FAT32 (or FAT16) and that the second one is ext2. and make sure both are primary partitions and that the first one is active.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Viper The Ripper:
As far as I know link2sd don't move "nothing" (strictly), this app only link app's data to your sdcard.

If you want to use your sd-ext partition as internal memory you should try an Int2ext script, using it you'll see a big amount of free internal memory (according with you sd-ext size). I think it's better than link2sd ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sharingan:
can you tell me what i have to do after flashing Int2ext script and also do i have to simply install it from install from sd card option or i have to mount something and after that will it automatically store apps on ext partition or i have to do something please help me MR VIPER

also tell me steps tp install this and what to do after that
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Viper The Ripper:
1. Root.

2. CWM 5x

3. Custom Kernel / init.d folder

5. A usable sd-ext partition you can create it using minipartition tools

4. Int2ext Script

5. Mounting /system and flash it

6. That's all! the apps that you'll install after ii will be installed in your sd-ext partition not in your /data partition ;)

i advise you to read all this thread to get more information about Link2sd ans int2ext script (it's a Q&A Thread) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313327

well... you can create your sd-ext partition as you want, but I prefer to create it using my Pc (minipartition tools e.g.)

Don't delete any file in init.d folder! It is not necessary ;)

Int2ext+ script (works with .ext2/3/4 file system)

Not Working

I'm trying to partition my SD card. To my knowledge I'm doing it correctly using MiniTool, after that didn't work I tried EaseUS. All seems fine until I mount the SD card into my phone and try using Link2SD. I choose ext2 and get;

Mount script error

Mount script cannont be created.

mount: Invalid argument

So I tried to partition the card to ext3 and ext 4, with the same error message. I then found out that FAT32 is meant to work universally, for all phones. I've tried formatting the partition to FAT32, selecting that script in Link2SD but still showing up with the same error.

*Additional details*

I'm using an LG P690f (Optimus Spirit) running Android 2.3.4

My SD card is formatted to FAT32, with a GB partition size.

Please help me, and tell me what I'm doing wrong. And please don't tell me that I do not need to partition my SD card :o

_______________________________________________________________

I realise this is a pretty noob question but I don't have much knowledge in this area, that's why I'm asking for help...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sieger007:
you have 2 options :

-- mount the card in linux : use Gparted or Qparted- first delete existing partn . Then format Ext2 and Fat32

This worked in 1 phone - did not in other phone.

-- install CWM on your phone and use CWM's option to partition ( method discussed in this thread or some place else - query L..2SD and CWM ) . I have not used it so far.

tell us which one worked some thx is nice
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NotCreativeEnough:
Sorry to be annoying :\

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. :)

Before I get into anything else I forgot to add; I'm running Windows Vista

I'm sorry for being so noob-ish and annoying, but you've lost me. I tried downloading Gparted, but there's no .exe (or program) files. I don't run Linux, does that mean option #1 won't work? I'm trying what you said in MiniTool Partition again.. Didn't seem to work.

Tried following the promts with CWM, also didn't seem to work...

Anymore suggestions?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sieger007:
Download a Live Linux distro and boot via CD ( or usb: will need some perp) - it will have gparted.

CWM - you need to install a compatible CWM for your phone - the recovery in yours is prolly NOT CWM.Once you have CWM installed then that version had partitioning options

Other than those 2 there is no cake walk. Its walk 1st and then hopefully cake

Edit: My problem has been solved! Looks like you have to choose ext4 on link2sd on cm7 even if you had an ext3 partition. (in my case)

So in step 8 you recommend using ext2 but in step 13 you recommend using ext4 for Link2sd. Why? Shouldn't one be using whatever ext they created in step 8? One wouldn't have an ext4 in step 13 if they created an ext2, per your instructions, as it said in step 8.

Why do I need to make a partition in the first place?

Is there any difference between "force moving to sd" and "linking to sd"? Cause I firstly installed my apps on my phone memory and then I force-moved them on SD Card. It seems to work until I noticed that my phone memory continued to fill even when I moved all my apps to SD.

Can someone explain what happened? Does link2SD moves my apps completely from my phone memory to my SD Card or It leaves some files so the app can work properly?

Thank you.

Running 2.3.6 Version Android

I installed Link2SD after partitioning card with EXT2. L2SD Picked up the ext2 partition very well and the auto linking feature worked till alas , I tragedy struck - I had ONLY 256mb memory on the phone so I tried to move some phone apps to ext2 by linking, by 1st converting em to user apps( using convert to user app feature.) from system apps and then link them using L2SD

After than Google Play kept giving error message process "com.vending.android" stopped unexpectedly . Alright - so I tried to flip some of the apps from ext2 back to phone. But after that NOTHING worked . Google play continued with error and browser app ( internal system app ) kept giving error process "com.browser...something" stopped working.

Then I noticed L2SD complained that the ext2 partition cannot be seen

Same prob when I mount Card in Linux - EXT2 ( 480 mb) has DISAPPEARED.
