Just a question - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok,
It says on a few of the Hero Rom to apply the update to the ext2 partition of your sdcard, I know I have an ext 2 because when I go to settings and sdcard it tells me the amount of room I have total, ext 2, and Internal. But when I plug my phone in and go into recovery mode to flash a rom I don't see anything that says ext 2 or anything it's just the sdcard. How to I apply something do my ext 2 partition? I mean how do I get it to show up so I can see what partition I'm putting the rom on. sorry if this is a dumb n00b question, but any info would get greatly appreciated.

I've never heard of putting a update on a ext partition. Can you point out where it says that.

THAt is odd

I don't use Hero, but would it not mean to upgrade the ext2 to ext3 by going to console (from recovery) and doing
Code:
upgrade_fs

Thanks, Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. I could of swore I've read on one of the hero threads, (maybe not even from this message board) to apply the update to the ext 2 partition of of your sd card, Maybe I read it wrong. Either way thanks for the tip and thanks for not treating me like a total tool for asking that question. lol

Oh I was here. I just took it easy this time. My compadres are out bs'n. Some of us here have to work.

And oh I like the triple threat. Sounds ruthless.

well, before I ask something I research it for a couple hours myself, If I can't find the answer after all that, Then I'll ask on a thread like this.

nope cause then the point of big storage is gone
You can download and install voice command easily ... some people, some don't. I think in the essence of making a big storage rom, it's best to leave it out and then people can install it themselves.

I've been working on the same thing for zcink's perfect rom.
So far I have the following memory config:
47MB + storage and 26MB + programs with 6MB pagepool
I'm trying to get it to 48MB storage and 27MB programs at 6MB pagepool, with the apps he listed..
Looks good.
Since you're working on smaller ROMs like me now, PM me if you want to try to help me find a way around the 51.2mb requirement that the RUU flasher has. It's annoying having to pad the os.nb to be able to flash small ROMs. And I'm not sure you're getting the space back, either.
Or if you're interested in researching the DOC structure of the phone... that would provide a way for us to figure out whether it's possible to merge the extROM with the main storage.

Now, that is a preference question. They are all good. Just make sure you have hardspl installed before you go anywhere. Once it's installed, choose your rom poison and flash. If you dont like the rom, flash a different one. Might I suggest flashing via SD card though. Much safer and quicker.

Cyan 4.0.2 Probs

Hey, just flashed to 4.0.2 and flashed fine but hangs at tmobile screen.
none of adb commands work except adb devices. other commands just quit
flashed 3.6.8.1 n tht worked fine and ran fine. tried upgrading from that still samething.
Ne help b appreciated.
did you wipe? it installed fine for me
Yea I tried almost everything. Still I boot it up type web logcat on pc right b4r powering it on it says waiting for devices 2 sec into bootup the command prompt exits
Did you wipe your ext3 partition too? Wondering if that could cause problems.
What SPL are you running?

Hmmm... the only thing I can think of then is a corrupt download, as david1171 is alluding to.
I've also heard of a newer issue where the device memory can fill up, and there being some process using Fastboot to erase everything (different than wiping). I'm not up to date on it though, and have asked if there's any way to clear everything through recovery console or terminal. Still waiting to hear on that.
Not sure if that is your problem, but try looking around in Cyan's thread for a potential solution. Keep us updated if you figure it out.
can u run a logcat and see where its looping?
Hey guys, nope the md5 matches perfectly, uansari if u cud point me as to how to erase using fastboot that would be great and is it safe or would i have to go back to rc29 n start all over again ? B-man007 yea i cant run logcat either. it just quits when i type adb logcat it goes back to command line.

I would love to point you to those directions, but unfortunately, I don't know much about it. Someone else posted something along the lines of the problem you're having in a separate thread, and someone replied that this was discussed in Cyanogen's thread and required Fastboot to erase something or other.
Wish I could be more help... I'll try to find the thread where I read that and link you.
Edit: Here is the thread. Shoot a PM over to the guy who posted about it, or do some searching and let us know what you find out. Good luck man...

Who did you message? There was someone who responded to the OP in that thread about the fastboot fix. I've messaged him as well, but haven't heard back yet.
Your other point is well taken though... If you can flash other ROMs fine, then it has to be something else. What other roms have you used? Try a different dev's rom, like JACxROM or the rooted standard rom from enomther. If those aren't flashing right either, then we need to keep looking for a solution, but if they flash right then we've narrowed it down.
hmm im running xRom 1.3 just fine, i flashed 3.6.8.1 just fine 2 n ran fine. Hmm let me try cyans 4.0.1 n c if i get this wierd hang.
Hmm same problem with 4.0.1....so basically up to 3.6.8.1 worked fine and after those i get the same stupid hang. Does that narrow ne thing lol ?

If when you flash you're not at 100% battery, you may find you lose percentage quickly. That's a good time to recalibrate.

[GUIDE] Partitioning your SD Card to use swap and or lin2sd :)

There is probably a guide for this already, but if there is, it is deep, deep down
What we will need:
Some way to connect the SD Card to the PC (using the phone USB with storage mode on is fine)
Minitool partition wizard - http://partitionwizard.com - the home edition is fine for this.
The steps:
Connect the SD card to the computer
Launch minitool

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select your SD Card MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SELECT YOUR HARD DRIVE!
On the left, there will be an option to Resize the drive. Select this and resize as necessary (If you have a 6GB drive, and want a 1GB ext2, resize it to 5GB).
Do the same again for a swap partition.
Check the operations on the left bar, to make sure you are happy with them and click 'Apply'.
Wait for it to complete. DONE! Eject you sdcard, and put it back into your phone. You can now download an app like link2sd to use it, or use swap
NOTE: I am in no way responsible if your data goes missing!
NOTE2: Not all ROM's have swap support. Most (if not all) CM rom's now do, however, you may need the 07swapon script. Please check my post to get that
It's the same thread like this?:

I think you or anyone could make a tutorial about how to build up a system (not a kernel, but just a e.g. cm7, cm9, aokp, aosp), in order to make our developer thread much more colorful. Just an idea...
To build from source it builds both system and kernel...

So how is link2sd and clockwormod recovery backup?
When I have ext2/3/4 secondary partition and create backup, than do files and linked stuff go to sd-ext? After restore will there be working linking during boot? And what happens when the secondary partition is fat32?

When you backup with CWM, as long as the ROM you are using mounts the /sd-ext.
When the backup file is made, the sd-ext file contains all the symlinks, so yes, backups work (I have made it loads of times).
