Just got a new 8GB card, need to partition it into Ex2 and FAT32, but don't have a program. Any recommendations? I need something free, I already tried Paragon but it kept asking me to pay. I want to put apps on my SD Card
I think EASEUS Partition Manager lets you create partitions (Not 100% sure, i have windows XP and used a differend method to make my partition)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500387
The link above for SDSplit is definitely the easiest way.
You can do it with the Trial version of Paragon as well.
you could get an ubuntu live CD and use the partitioner on there. download the .iso and burn it to a disk to try it out
I tried the script, fried my memory card and phone, but they are back up and working after several wipes, backups and formats. I tried EASEUS, it doesnt allow me to partition the MicroSD card, only my harddrive. Paragon.. I downloaded ALL the trial versions of their partitioner, NONE of them allows me to create the Ex2 partition, it asks me to buy the product as the feature is unable in the demo version. As for the Ubuntu CD... I think that may be a bit complicated for me, I can burn the ISO but it is a lot of work and if there is an easier way, obviously I would prefer that haha
If you have a computer running Windows XP, you could try this way. (This is how I made my partition)

Actually if you install it through its windows installer(wubi) it's pretty easy. Just put the cd in in windows and choose install in windows. After it's done you restart your computer and ubuntu is there as an option, you just choose it and it finishes installing and bam you have both windows and ubuntu. Alternatively, if you put in the cd and restart your computer you can have it start directly into ubuntu and have it run off the cd and run the partitioner from there. That way you don't have to install anything and it's a really easy interface.
With Ubuntu and Linux Mint (which I think looks nicer) you don't have to touch your hard drive to use it to re-partition your card.
Just burn the disc, reboot into it, open up the "runner" with Alt+F2 and type "gksu gparted." It's pretty simple from that point on.
Might want to try this if u dont want to dual boot an os, or run a live cd. =]

That's a good idea, provided that stripped-down Ubuntu actually has gparted installed.

Even if it doesn't, it probably(I'd almost bet money on it) has synaptic, in which case you can just install gparted through that. Even if by some weird happening it doesn't have synaptic you could use apt-get to download it.
Very true. But remember the OP isn't a Linux user and was a little bothered by even having to burn a CD. I still think, though, that a bootable CD that doesn't touch his hard drive is the simplest, best solution for him.
I see a lot of people (on random parts of the dream section of the forums) saying Paragon can not do it. The problem is you are getting / being reccomended the wrong product from paragon. If you can find partition manager 9, supposedly that can do it (hearsay as i didn't try myself). However, the site doesn't have 9. Version 10 is the latest so that's what they have available and that demo does not allow it.
However, if you get Paragon HD Manage Suite, you will be able to create the partitions.
Just wanted to throw this out there as I am seeing this mistake / confusion all over the various dream forums (at xda and other places as well)
I presume this is the root (no pun) of everyones partitioning headaches
Paragon HD Manager Suite 10, not Paragon Partition Manager 10
Alright you guys, thanks, I got it! I downloaded Paragon Partition 9 and it was actually... a lot better than I thought. My SD cards all partitioned and apps are on it after around 5 wipes from messing up, but its all good now.
Thanks!

What's strange is gparted used to be included, but lately it seems they've been leaving it off. I had to fetch it on a fresh 8.10 install. I wonder what that says about what Canonical thinks about Ubuntu's target audience.
Canonical tells you what their target audience is: normal people...who probably wouldn't ever need to partition a drive after installation. Ubuntu itself, along with it's Gnome environment have been constantly oversimplifying things since version 2 (of Gnome). They want to the the Linux version of Mac OS 8.
That's the reason I suggested using a Linux Mint CD. It comes with codecs and utilities like gparted pre-installed on the live CD.
That having been said, I'm glad the OP got his problem sorted out.
I'm planning to upgrade to a 16GB from my current 8GB microSD which I EXT4'd a WHILE back using gParted.. I think.
I've lost all sense of knowledge on this topic since I've only done it once.
Has there been an easier way to do this nowadays now that even rooting methods have been simplified to a click of a button?
Or need I go through the whole gParted boot disk again? (Need to find a tutorial for that too again...)
Also, is there a way I can do it on my OSX?
My Windows is always available on my other laptop but I was just wondering if there were any methods to do this procedure on OSX.
Thanks bunch
Appreciate it.
If you are rooted, you can partition from 4ext recovery. It's the easiest & best method. Dunno about Mac OS, but since it is also Unix based with a journalled file system, it must have support for ext fs. Better make a backup of card on pc before resizing your FAT32 partition, though.

Ah yeah, I'm def rooted and S-Off'd so I guess that would be fine.
Hello, Finally made an account after lurking and flashing for a few months. This one is really stumping me...
SO.....
I was going to do a new install and wiped everything. I was trying to get the full size of my external 32gig card back after partitioning it for a app2sd setup and formatted it with disk utility(OSX). I ended up formatting the internal(I Know) by accident being a fast-click McGraw. I caught my mistake and formatted the external like originally planned. I think I formatted them to vfat.
After all this formatting, CWM and ADB won't mount my disks. CWM will not format them either because they won't mount. I have no rom loaded to boot into and I can't flash a new one because neither drive will mount.
I have been trying what seems like so many different things to include trying to make an EFI bootable Linux Live usb(didn't boot). This issue would probably be fixed by now if I wasn't using OSX but hey, it's what I have to work with. If anyone can help end my multi-day madness with a solution, great appreciation would be had.

Use Odin and flash back to stock Google xda wiki exhibit. You will have to be on windows so just install windows 8 trial on a virtual machine. You all ready tried all the other ideas i have for getting it to mount so...

Is there a linux or OSX solution? I have no problem running a Linux VM. I really don't want to have to sign up with M$ if I can avoid it.

Yea i understand im not a big of ms. Running Linux isn't really beneficial since you can do everything in osx. You can even compile but getting some packages is a pain. Anyways can you not push anything to / or does that partition not even exist? You could try mounting USB storage from recovery but i doubt that would work. We don't have hiemdal for this phone or you could use linux. Windows might be your only option find an iso somewhere if you don't want to register or download enterprise 7 by providing whatever the info it asks for, make it up.

I can connect USB storage in CWM recovery and can shell into the system. What, where, and how would I to push to the device?

Use this command or something similar.
./adb push /file path of ROM /
But if USB works then when its mounted just put a ROM on drag and drop and flash it.

Got it fixed!
While my Exhibit was down, I started using this Blackberry Curve I have as a backup. Decided to put my microSD in it and formatted it. I saw that it put the card back to its original storage space and got rid of the non-accessible partition. Loaded my backup onto it, CWM finally mounted it, and I flashed it.

One of my friend (!) accidentally deleted all of my camera roll photos from my Lumia 720
I tried to recover them with some File Recovery Software but as Windows Phone 8 connects via MTP, not via USB Mass Storage, the recovery can't be done
I googled the fact and noticed some forum with data recovery method, but only for android. If the Phone is rooted, you can make a dump (or something, i don't actually know what that is) of the entire phone and then mount that in a drive, making you enable to recover files from that.
Is there any process for Windows Phone 8 ?
I am seriously in need to recover those photos.

take the SD card out and perform the usual recovery methods with a card reader.
There's no SD card
The photos were in Phone Memory, that's why I mentioned it connects via MTP

Unfortunately NO
recover data
Have you overwritten your lost data? If so, then the chance to recover is slim, if not, then, you can get a professional Data Recovery
cumeeting: That would probably require disassembling the phone. Not practical unless these photos are ludicrously valuable.
If you have your Windows Phone Connector software set to sync then they might still be in your My pictures folder on your comptuer, worth taking a look.
Can you take a dump of your 720? Then using whatever can you use a utility to find it inside the vhd or whatever the dump is in. That's if it had a 1:1 transfer mode that captures the whole device including the stuff that was deleted. Besides that, no one has driver level access (except MS and the OEMs) on the device to make an app to restore the pictures from the device.
It's work if you try to recover files using recuva
I am soory I don't know much about Windows phone but I know Myjad iTunes Backup Extractor for iOS and Android Data Recovery.
Maybe you can go to that website to check if they have developed a new product for Win phone.

Once you have deleted photos from iPhone you cannot restore directly from iPhone. What you can do is to recover them with a third-party progrm like data recovery software. Another condition is that you should have an iTunes backup otherwise you won't get any of your lost photos back.
Try Myjad iTunes Backup Extractor, it is a powerful software specially designed for iTunes backup file recovery which enables you to extract and recover lost or deleted photos, videos, contacts, SMS/MMS, call records, voicememos, calendars, notes and Safari bookmarks from unreadble (.sqlitedb) file.

It is possible to recover deleted photos from camera roll, take a look at this guide: Windows phone photo recovery
The guide is easy to follow and works well for me. So follow it and get back your lost photos now before it's too later.

Have you actually recovered files from the WINDOWS PHONE 8 (which OP is owner of - Lumia 720), not windows phone 7?
Not the memory card in the phone, but from the internal phone memory?
Could you share?
The guide you point to describes recovering files from memory card or WP7. The guide gives false hopes for WP8 owners, because WP8 cannot be seen as a drive on the PC.
//edit
Sorry, didn't notice it was old thread. My bad.
Is there a way to save the INTERNAL phone contents? Like where the OS itself and apk files are installed?
It's not as easy as plugging your phone in to a PC and dragging "internal memory" files over. Not everything is there.
There are hidden CORE FILES and I would like to know how to copy them over to my computer. Thanks!
might get an answer with phone model, firmware, root or not? just saying.
Maybe Titanium Backup? (obviously you need root)
