Can't use link2sd

I am unable to use Link2sd for moving or freezing any apps on my rooted lenovo a7000. I am getting this error (see the screenshot attached). How can I resolve it?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:

I think the sd card is not properly formatted.

Both partitions have to be primary.

First part fat 32 preferred

Second part must be in ext4 primary(ext2 didn't work with me).

Speaking of linking, you won't be able to link internal data if the app is not purchased directly from play store. Patching and link2sd licence patcher won't work with the latest Link2sd...

If it does please share the info
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] XxpikaachuuxX:
Nah i think its because Link2SD is still coded in 32 Bit maybe?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
Who knows? We are just end-users
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Sarswat@dz:
You can use "SD MAID" from playstore to freeze apps

If you follow the above steps formatting your sd, link2sd should work except being able to link internal data( you need to buy the plus apk for that purpose).

About freezing apps, you can use link2sd itself or titanium back up pro.

Greenifying is another option. Use greenify apk for this.

Old link2sd won't work on lollipop, especially on 64 bit devices like lenovo a7000. Buy the latest pro. It doesn't cost much.

sdext2 backup?

Does the CWM recovery as posted in this forum include a back up of sdext2 partition in the CWM back up? I am unable to identify it.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
***

I am not sure if you mean the external sd by ex2 or the one formatted for link2sd purpose.

Any way, I have backed up (and restored evey 2 or 3 days-yea, trying to do every undoable tweak) to external sd by the cwm in this thread.

NB: in cwm *external sd "is shown as *internal sd 1"
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] archz2:
I haven't partitioned and don't want to partition my SD card. I guess xxpikachuuxx is right that I'm facing problem due to 32 bit nature of link2sd and my phone having 64-bit architecture. I tried freezing my apps using Titanium Backup and I'm successfully able to do so. What I need maybe is a 64-bit friendly libsig file due to which error is occurring.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Eversmile23:
2nd partition in external SD card.

Thanks for ur interest in replying to my question.

I mean 'sdext2' is the 2nd partition of any of these type-- ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32, that is used by 'Link2SD'/'Apps2Sd' or similar application to increase (virtual) the internal memory of an android device. If the CWM recovery includes the contents in its CWM back up, where can I find the contents of sdext2?

thanks to you that my phone is now in boot-loop. i did exactly what was written in your blog :crying:

now tell me what to do?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
It was suggested by one of the members of this forum , prasant@gt-s. It worked fine with me. Now i am using xposed framework and gravity box as system apps. No problem . but then my device is on S_133. I don't know if updated devices may cause boot loop.

I never intended to mislead anybody. Sorry .

Try the stock recovery. It will help you out of boot loop

i tried to take a backup from recovery. it failed but the phone started. but it constantly displays the msg that internal storage is running out, the process has been stopped and is not letting me do anything
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
Oh, dear. It just shows your default write is on system. Go to storage and Change it to sd card and reboot. I will be waiting
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] raviprakashji:
i think when i tried to take backup, it all went to internal memory. so its showing so little space. Do you know that backup goes to which folder? may be i can access from laptop.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
It depends where you sent the back up. If it is in internal sd, I am afraid it is not accessible by PC..

It is not clear if have turned the default writing to sd. If so, u can use the default file manager to access the back up.

The back up folder for cwm is Clockwoekmod. For TWRP it is TWRP

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

After every reboot you have to make sure that the default writing is in sd card or you wouldn't see the apps installed in sd card. If your device takes longer than usual to boot, the default writing may have reverted to system

delete old backups from recovery itself.

I had this same problem when I had taken a backup for the first time. What happened is that I took the back up onto the internal memory of the device. And It did not complete due to memory going full.

Actually the backups reside in a folder clockworkmod.

Now when the backup failed due to memory going full I was not able to see the files anywhere in esexplorer or even when I connected the Lenovo a700 in MPT mode on the PC. I started getting memory full errors etc but there seemed to be nothing on my internal memory.

Then I restarted the phone again in recovery mode and through there there is an option to delete old backups. This solved my problem.

[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
As to TWRP, it's touch based. To navigate in cwm, you have to use physical keys.

Busybox is needed for some root applications so it is good to have busybox installed

Every thing was alright but i didn't get why did update not installed when i was on stock recovery.(sorry if my grammer is incorrect)
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
I think it was because the rooting process corrupted the system. There doesn't seem to be any other plausible explanation .

OTA update.

OTA update installation (after rooting) always fails. Is this statement true? Or is there any method to achieve the installation by flashing a zip file in our Lenovo A 7000?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
What you said holds true to the best of my knowledge because I don't remember reading anything to the contrary anywhere in this thread.

What you need for future updates of your device is a working stock rom.

Not able to see the recovery screen even after formatting with CWM/TWRP

I was able to flash my phone with the steps mentioned and it showed Download OK. I tried both CWM and TWRP but when I boot my phone in recovery mode it still shows the same default recovery screen for lenovo. I tried both the recovery.img and TWRP both dint work. Also tried rooting with Build Number: S137 and it dint work.

Model No: Lenovo A7000-a

Android Version: 5.0

Baseband Version: A7000.ROW.V15, 2015/05/28 07:40

Build Number: A7000-a_S141_150614_ROW

Tried other CWM's from different websites too but I wasn't able to get any other recovery screen apart from the default Lenovo Recovery Screen.

Please help me what shall I do??
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
I think days back we had a long chat about it. What you have to do to be always on the safer side is to have your rom backed up and copied to your PC in case of an accidental deletion.

Then you are safe to play with your tweaks and hacks ,no matter whatever extreme you would like to go to get your device personalised,so to speak.

And the thing to remember is that if it is a cwm back up you have got to be on cwm to restore the back up. The rest goes without saying for twrp.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Eversmile23:
It would have been better if there was some work-around.

One thing comes to my mind : If I revert back to Stock ROM, get the new update, then re-root the phone alongwith installing CWM recovery, the would I be able to flash back my CWM back up successfully, taken earlier when (I) my phone was rooted, (ii)CWM installed,(iii) some buildprop changed and(iv) some system apps converted/removed.[All these conditions taken together] ?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] devasure:
The scenario you mean to describe is:

Suppose you were on stock s_133 or s_136 days back.

And you have a back of that version backed up.

Now you are on s_137.

You fear that something might happen to your device while being on this version of which you have no back up( which is unlikely since you could always do one provided there is space on your sd)

You have to restore a back now.

The only one is of the old stock.

So what? You will be back to where you started off- that is back on stock s_133 or s_134. The device without any trace of a firmware can be compared to a shop bare of any furniture or merchandise. The firmware ,including boot and recovery,is the minimum of furniture and merchandise your device needs to work. The back up consists of all that.

Help needed.

Suddenly this afternoon, I found through the 'File Manager' that the internal memory of my phone is shown as 'zero' MB. I cleaned cache through '1Tap Cache Cleaner', no improvement observed, deleted 2 apps, still no improvement. Then I saw around 4.0+ Gb of Junk as reported by my antivirus app'360 Security'. I cleaned it. Then 'Apps2SD'(by Vickybonik) flashed a message that, 2nd partition can not be mounted. So, I recreated mount script and rebooted. This time, after going to my 'File manager' I saw Internal memory as 4.88 Gb and Free int. memory as 385 MB. I was relieved. But, I want to know why this happened and does it mean that I have to clean the junk from time to time? Then, how to know when I should initiate cleaning the 'junks'?

Has anybody installed the S_141 update and rooted afterwards? If yes, is there any complexities/problems?

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Before updating to S-137, I had this question in my mind and I got a zip file for this but could not succeed in flashing it through custom recovery. In android 5.0, it says it is not possible to flash the OTA through custom recovery. So, can anybody clarify the fact?
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Chahat2197:
i think, files in update.zip require modification.

btw i had got the updates without doing any thing i asked above.

It looks like the boot video and some associated graphic files are gone. That accounts for the green screen. Unfortunately you cannot play videos.

But the relieving news is that they are still there in your device and you can do a wipe data and factory reset to get your device back to properly working mode.

I experienced the same issue. Wait for the reset process to run its course. It might take some time to boot up.

It is confusing to do a factory reset in stock recovery so do cwm or twrp again and do it
