Damaged SD Card After Partitioned with Gparted

Hi,

I tried many times using gparted to partition my SD Card. But every time after i have done partitioning, the phone keep saying my SD Card has damaged and that I need to format my SD Card. I have tried all ext2, ext3 and ext4, results are the same. Also the every time when gparted scanned my SD Card, it was in the state of “unpartitioned” already instead of “FAT32″ format. Why is it so? Please guide..

All helps are appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

P/S: Kingston 16GB Class 4

Problem solved --> just flashed new rom (LeeDroid) then partition again. I first use rom manager (doesn't work with previous rom - CM 6.1), then resize using gparted (now MIUI) ^^
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakrimator:

I have the same issue whit the same build of LeeDroid.

Any idea?

Disable signature verification under 'install zip from sd', if that does not work go to rom manager, clear download cache, reflash clockworkmod and try again with signature verification turned off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchoong:
ROM Manager can partition only up to 512MB; Amon Ra can do bigger partitions and more flexible, but requires a change of Recovery. Another alternative is to us EASEUS, free download available, to partition your SD card. This is a very powerful Disk utility and be careful when using it - make sure it does not touch your PC`s harddisk. Their Help section is very thorough.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnip:
I partitioned my 16GB card using parted on a Kubuntu live CD and added 2 1GB Ext4 partitions after the FAT partition.

However, my CM does not seem to recognize those partitions and fails when trying to mount or format them before the new ROM is flashed.

Do I need to install a new recovery to use Ext4?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
It would be unable to use it anyway. Froyo A2SD uses Fat32

Gparted is the simplest, IMHO, esp if you use it as a Vmware virtual device.

HELLPPPP

Help mee:(

Right, I downloaded and burnt GParted and I can boot into it etc. Every time I try and format my 16gb SD Card it comes up saying damaged. I'm trying for 1gb ext3 and the rest as fat32 - doing the FAT32 partition first followed by the ext3 partition after. But then once I apply it and disconnect the HTC, the SD card is damaged and I have to format it again.

Other times I try it has an exclamation mark beside the sd card in GParted. I've tried formatting it with GParted, with the HTC Desire, and with Windows itself. None of them seem to be working.

I tried partitioning a 4gb card and it worked fine but when I try the same process with the 16gb it isnt working - driving me mental :(

edit - I'm still on my stock 2.1 orange rom that i had when i got the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnip:
I have flashed AmonRA recovery and partitioned the SD card from the recovery menu. That was the only way I got it to work.

UberNoobster,

Try flashing Ra Desire or RMD recovery.

There you have full formatting options dedicated to Desire.

Ok is there any other method? Just because that's another whole rigmarole Il need to fins out how to do then go through!lol

Frustrating cause the 4gb card seems to have partitioned fine. Possibility I have a fake 16gb card as I might have got it off eBay a year ago..?

You can use gparted or minitool partition wizard (under windows, even trial) and format partitions properly.

Yeah its Gparted I'm using that results in this problem. Think I have a dud SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarsChristian:
gparted is easy if you run ubuntu. I have not tried to make that cd from the tutorial, but I think it will be the same. When I s-off'ed my desire I got a new recovery. With that u also can partition your sd-card. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Yeah I can get GParted to run fine and I've managed to partition another SD card fine so thats whats leading me to think that this one is a dud.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarsChristian:
Hm, I can't tell you if it is or not. I only had problem formating the SD-card when I was in recovery and mounted it in to my pc. But when I had the phone up and running, and mounted the sd-card in to my pc gparted formated the card just fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkdeane:
Hi good day,

I have an HTC Desire running 2.3.3 (rooted). I am having difficulty in finding out how to partition an SD card. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!!

I see a lot of old forums (2 years ) etc which I think may not work anymore.

I see a lot of talk about about ROM Manager however I can't download it because of the country location restrictions (which really suck, but that is a different set of questions again) and i see Gparted but you need to be running a linux kernel which I am not at the moment (windows 7).

Does anybody have any idea what I could do???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhrsak:
try MiniTool Partition Wizard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkdeane:
Thanks man. Will check it out for sure. But after i use this, how do i get the phone to basically think part of the sd card is internal memory?? BC that is the real problem right there. Obviously the Desire 4GB is very restricting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
I use GParted with my windows 7 pc and never had a problem. Download GParted and burn to disc, then restart your pc with boot from disc enabled.

Done.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkdeane:
Thanks Zedmarcus.Much appreciated.

I used gparted and followed the directions posted by chrysochire earlier exactly. I am now looking at my phone and i am seeing memory of 384 MB.

In SD & Phone Storage :

Total 14.32 gb

Internal 88.38 MB

So the internal is still very small.How to I get the phone to think the partition on the sd i just created is internal or am i just stuck with how it is and have to keep on transferring apps top SD card (which couldn't i have done anyway without all this partitioning)

So what is the next step to make it appear bigger??? or do i have to run a custom rom to take advantage of these sorts of things?

Thank you for everybody's help.

Thanks and Regards,

Is there a way to move cache to the Ext3 partition without a custom rom?

Or make the phone see the Ext3 partition as internal storage?

partioning

Hi can anybody advice me in partitioning my sd card please?

HTC desire, S-OFF with Revolutionary last week, then flashed EXT4 recovery and EXT4 recovery touch. nandroid back up made. custom rom MildWild5 loaded and all is working fine, moved apps using app2sd, but I'm still running low on phone memory so I guess I need to partition the sd card and then do app2sd+.

I've just made a second recovery file and then copied the whole sd card on to my pc.

What now? I guess boot into recovery, tools, partition sd card, wipe existing partitions and start from scratch....but then what? what sizes for the 1st, 2nd and swap? or should I wipe and format the whole card first, before doing the partitioning?

Once partitioned do I just copy all the stuff from the pc back up back on to the fat32 bit of the sd card and boot the phone as normal? or do I need to copy the rom across and 'install' from sd card again?

Thanks for any help.

Neil
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
Hi Neil, From 4ext recovery create a 1gb ext partition on your card. You can copy your files back to the fat32 partition after as you said. I would personally format the whole card to fat32 first before partitioning. I don't think you will need swap. I believe mildwild 5 is cm7 based? If so download s2e from the market and that will get your a2sd working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leafwarbler:
you can use minitool partition wizard to repartition your sdcard. The function Resize/Move Partition, Extend Partition, Create Partition, Merge Partition, Split Partition, Convert files system, Change Cluster Size, Convert to Primary/Logical are very useful and helpful.

From talking to our Android development team about this issue; they’ve informed me that the fault actually lies with the Amazon application, not Shazam. We’re hoping that the Amazon application is updated soon to restore the previous level of functionality with Shazam.

Updates to the Android Shazam application are also due soon - You will be notified in-app when these updates are ready to download. I’m afraid I don’t currently have an exact date for release."

I am not sure how it will brick your phone and maybe someone here can advise you on this.

The recovery-backup.img is just an image of the stock bootloader that comes with your phone. If you wish to apply official OTA updates, you will need to restore to your stock bootloader using the flashrec app even after u have reverted to the stock ROM.

Ok. I have been playing with the Galaxy for the last 3 days and I have a few things that I find quite annoying. Not sure if it is just mine or it is the same with everyone so I just want to start this thread to see. This is my list:

Missing emails. I have 1 exchange account and 3 POP accounts set up excluding the Gmail one and have been experiencing a few missing emails. They showed up in my Notebook but not on the phone.

I set the checking interval at 30 minutes but it does not sync. I have to manually refresh it.

There is no setting like in the HTC devices which you can set the size limit and some other options which I felt are important.

Lag is quite a problem with a few different operations, like deleting emails in the trash folder. It can take more than a minute to delete all which is strange.

I went to dinner tonight at a place where the reception is poor. It lost the signal completely and would not even get back on afterwards until I reset the phone

Most of my problems seems to be with the email. Otherwise the device has been good. I hope this is just a problem with my phone so that I can exchange it. Please let me know if any of you guys are experiencing the same thing. Thanks
