Hi, I have a G1 rooted with the SuperD 1.9.3 Rom, I never partitioned my SD card or anything like that. I want to upgrade my SD Card and partition it to get Apps2SD and keep the same Rom. I am not sure what steps to take...

Which recovery do you have? If you don't yet, make sure to upgrade to Amon_Ra latest. Once you have that, reboot into recovery, select partition card and follow directions on screen. This will wipe your card completely so backup anything you want to save. It will not affect your rom in any way. You may have to move your existing apps manually, not sure.
How do i know what recovery i have? Do I partition my current sd card or the new one?
So I do not need to reflash the Super D?

You would boot into recovery and look to see which one you have, it will say it right on top. You will partition your new card. Absolutely no need to reflash your rom, it will recognize your ext partition and install all future apps in it automatically. As I said, I'm not sure about existing apps, you may need to move them manually.
It says Android Sysem Recovery Utility Build: JFv1.42 There is nothing that says Partition SD or anything like that... Now my rom is on my current sd card if I don't flash it to the new one my phone still knows what rom I have? Sorry about all the questions thanks for your help =)
I was thinking of doing this to install Amon RA's recovery img
I got it from another forum in here....
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
JF's recovery does not have that option because it's really, really, really old. We did not even have apps to sd back then.
Flash RA's recovery (directions seem right, I assume you got them out of RA's thread), you'll see the difference: many more options, etc
Good luck.
Ok, so I am going to do the following steps....
1. Flash Amon Ra's recovery image
2. Reboot phone
3. Get into recovery again
4. Back up my sd card on the computer, remove sd card from phone
5. Insert new sd card, partition sd card
6. Transfer files from old sd card including update.zip which is the rom
7. Reboot phone
Let me know if I'm missing something thanks for all your help!
I'm going to do this over the weekend...
Ok, so I got the new Amon RA recovery image but haven't done anything else...lol. So can you tell me if those steps are right? And why don't I need to flash the rom again...I currently have it on my sd card...I'm a bit confused
1. Reboot to recovery. Partition your card (I suggest 512mb for ext partition, rest is fat, follow instructions within recovery).
2. Upgrade ext to ext3.
3. Reboot (your phone will move your existing apps onto sd.) It may take a while to fully boot, just give it 10 min or so.
4. In terminal emulator type
Code:
su
fix_permissions
5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
As far as flashing the rom again.... why? Your OP says you want to keep your existing rom.
To check if your apps were moved:
In terminal:
Code:
su
ls /system/sd/app
ls /system/sd/app-private
ls /system/sd/dalvik-cache
Should give you print-out of what you have on ext partition of your sdcard (or you can use root explorer or whatever other file manager, I'm a bit old shool so I prefer terminal or adb)
5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
Okay in step 5. Reboot again do I just type in the terminal emulator reboot or reboot recovery?
Also when you say "transfer whatever you had on your old card..." Do I also transfer the file that says update.zip?
Sorry for all the questions, I should be getting my new sd card today and will try it out tonight.
Thank you.
You just type reboot.
It is up to you what you want to transfer onto your new card. I assume that update.zip is your current rom. If so, it's nice to have just in case but it will not make any difference in how the phone works. It's just an install file that you use once (unless, of course something goes terribly wrong and we all have been there ) but it's nice to have all tools needed on your card so you can quickly recover from any problems.)
BTW, with your new shiny recovery (RA1.7), you don't have to rename your files to update.zip. You can name them whatever you want (i.e Super-D1.9.3.zip, Recovery.zip) and, if you decide to reflash something, at least you will know what it is. Your new recovery will let you choose which file to flash so you can have more then one .zip file on your card if you want.
Ok so I still haven't gotten my new card! It should be here next week...Anyways I tried using switchrom to store my current just in case but I get this error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Any clues why I'm getting this do I need to have my phone connected by USB or something to a computer....?
Thanks hopefully I'll stop asking so many questions...I tried this solution but no luck

In the Android System Recovery, select "USB-MS Toggle". It will enabled/disable the feature. Do it one more round and it will solve the problem.
It's telling you that it can't mount SD card.
Back up all of your stuff from SD card, format it and try again, that's the only thing I can think of.
Actually, I just ended up doing a Nandroid Backup just did Nandroid not Nandroid +ext since I don't have this card partitioned...it is backed up!
Ok buddy its easier if you do the whole process through the sdcard
First you should backup everything on your sdcard and do a BART or NAN+EXT then partion your card and restore your BART or NAN+EXT and your good to go
If this does not work press my name and look at my threads because I ask this same quetion a while ago
Post again if this does not work

Hi, I tried doing a Nan+ext backup but I got this error : Run nandroid-mobile.sh via console I also tried doing a Bart backup and it also said Run Bart via console...
So I just did a regular Nan Backup...I don't have my current sd card partitioned...should I partition it so I can do the Nan+ext I currently have a 2gb card and it doesn't have a class number.... Maybe I should format my card?
Thanks!
Ohh ok I see ur problem it won't let u backup nand+ext if you don't have a ext
since you backed up already go ahead and throw the nandriod and any other files on sd card to your pc the format your sd create the app partion and swap partion make sure u formate it ext3 or ext4 depending on what ur rom uses put the nandroid back on sd after format and restore post if it works or not
If this don't work just reverse the process put nad back on pc format card to what is was before then put nand back on sd and restore

OK so I partitioned my current memory card =) and was able to succesfully do a nandroid +ext...so now when I get my new card I just have to go into recovery and do a nandroid restore and transfer all my files right? Thanks
Remember to partion your sdcard before transfer

Ok so I tried switching my cards and formatted my new card,paritioned it, transfered the files from my other sd card, and tried to a nandroid restore...that's when I get the same error as before to do it from console.
I tried taking all the files out and repartitioning the sd card doing everything again no luck. Reflashed my rom and turned it on after it boots like normal I get a black screen. So just went back to my old sd card was getting force closes so did nandroid restore it said it did but would boot normal and get force closes.
So I reflashed my rom and reinstalled everything manually...from sd card as my market disappeared got it back after reinstalled it...
Any suggestions as I really want a bigger capacity memory card....=/
Hi. I've been pulling my hair out for over 4 hours now.
I boot into clockworkmod, choose install from zip, I can see the .zip but everytime I choose it the phone refuses to install it and gives me an error about cannot mount /sd/ or something similiar. From there the SD card cannot be found until i restart the phone.
Ive cleared all caches, done a factory reset..
The rom and phone works like it should except that I of course cant mount my phone with the sdcard while booted into GingerDX.
I've tried using two different SD cards and one of them is brand new (i just opened it because of this error). I've formatted both cards via a usbadapter on my computer and the only thing on them is the update file.
Every zip i try to update gives me the error that the card cannot be mounted even though the phone finds the different zipfiles on my card. And every time after i get the error the SD card cannot be found until I restart my phone.
Please help me, Ive spent hours searching on this problem but the only one who had this problem and got it fixed got it because he had his phone plugged in via usb while he was trying to update.
This is the error message I get.
-- Installing /sdcard/update-rom-chargemon+vold-alfskernel .zip

I have nothing to backup but as I said I've tried 2 different cards and formatted them both atleast 5 times each.
WOW! I think I solved it. I flashed the nAa kernel which just made my phone not start at all, the screen just turns on but nothing happened. Then I reinstalled v6 of Alfs kernel. But this time I booted into CWM by tapping back instead of tapping the screen (I was actually trying to get into xrecovery). There my first sdcard didnt mount at all so I put in the second one, chose the .zip, got a "are you sure bla bla" screen, pressed yes and it FINALLY flashed.
This is a really weird error..

you could not have 2 recovery at once by costum kernel. you must use the recovery in the kernel.
I haven't done anything but whipe my phone, install alfs custom kernel and GingerDX. I haven't installed anything else. Wierd error that starting CMW by pressing back instead of touching the screen lets you actually flash the update.
Hi guys, i was trying to find a solution and i think i made it. It's not that everything is connected but it did work for me.
What i did:
1. settings/application settings/ unknown sources - ON
2. settings/application settings/Development
- usb debugging - ON
- USB debugging notify -ON
- Allow mock locations - ON
3. Reboot in CWM recovery
- go to mount and storage (important!!)
- mount /sdcard
- go back, install zip from Sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard, find it and install it!!
That's it!

This happened to me a few times. On your SD card make sure you have "clockworkmod" folder all lowercase. Inside that folder there should be a "backup" folder. You need this folder for CWM to work
I've encountered the same problem as OP. sdcard wont mount. I installed the CWM v3.2.0.0-r3 via this script so I tap the screen to enter CWM but the back key opens xRecovery so solution in #5 doesn't apply.
Tried a different card, reply #9, cleared cache and data. Nothing seems to help so far.
Solved by flashing SE2.1 kernel back, installing recovery tools from x8toolbox this time and it let me go ahead with the rest.
looks like i am in a big problem here.
i tried to use Clockwork to wipe and install a new rom, but after wipe dalvik, cache and data, i cant update the rom.
i tried to use too diferent zips i have in my sd, but i get a error.
trying "applying a zip from sd card" and "choose zip from sd", i can't enter in the "_external sd" folder, it just return to the previous folder (internal sd) and there is only a "update.zip" there wich i don't know what it is. I had the hope it was a update i did with rom manager but this zip doesn't work too.
if i try the roms that are in the clockwokrmod folder, i get "no files found" and i have to folders inside clockworkmod folder.
what i should try?
now when i click in any option stuk with a image of the exclamation and the Android the android dummy ((((
edit: oh, the menu is back, but i still don't know what to do.
Did you try flash another ROM for odin?

i restarded the ox2. I see sd, system and data was unmonted. But even with this mounted don'est work. I am not able to enter in the dir _external sd.
but in the clockwork folder in the internal sd i have 2 backups and they doesn't work too "no files found"
I restarted it now in normal mode and the system is there, just in default mode, asking me to configure, etc.
If i wiped data, cache and everything, where was the files that allowed this rom to "survive"? At least i can use the phone today. I am almost giving up of flash the rom
Please help, why clockwork did not recognize any zip? looks like it was not able to enter any directory
I think you need to select install zip from internal sd. That is the only way I found to install the .zips on my _ExternalSD folder.
BTW, I won't be able to restore the CWM backup because needs to be on an external SD.
I hope it helps.

Sounds like it's a case of switched mounting points, try install from internal sd.

the problem is that it was accessing any folder, even in internal sd. I don't if the app was able to recognize that there was not a valid file inside the folder or was really a error.
i am almost giving up. Thinking in change only baseband, as i believe it is safer than chaging a rom.
i don't understand how/where the device was able to boot with a "new" rom after the reboot. I thought after clear data, cache and factory reset was like formating Windows in pc. And the last command when i was in clockwork was a simple reboot, not recovery, etc.
Did you put the .zip on your external sd card? In that case, you should go to mounts and storage and select mount sdcard. If it is already mounted, unmount and mount it again. It helps in some cases. Works for me at least, I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Hi, all.
I have some problem on my previous sdcard (so sad :crying and it's broken.
Now i have a new sdcard (yeah...) and another problem appears!
I formatted my sdcard and it said that the sdcard formatted successfully, but when i mount my sdcard into computer, the existing files still there.
Whether i add some files into sdcard (for example: i just copied JB Mini ROM into /sdcard/John) and i rebooted my phone into recovery mode.
When i enter the recovery menu and want to install the ROM's zip, the file cannot be found. Then i copied JBMini's ZIP file once again into my sdcard once again. I mount my sdcard into my computer with "Mount USB Storage" in recovery. When i'm trying to install it, it says (bad) errors. Then i reboot my phone again and the files (JBMini ROM) dissapeared!
Can somebody help me?
If the recovery says "bad file" then that means that the zip is corrupted..
Retry downloading it/retransferring it to the sd card..

Hmmm...What ROM are you using? If you're using a custom one. Try getting back to stock Eclair 2.1 and check if it does the same problem. If so contact the shop where you bought the SD Card.
Man ...
You have a hard luck with SD cards!

Haha... I don't know anything.
Maybe i should throw this microSD from the uppest floor of high building, then go to the downstairs by stairs and get it back again.
It's not about corrupted ROM files or somewhat, but again, this is SD Card problem.
My sdcard have two partitions, FAT32 and ext4.
I had tried to format it from recovery, but it failed.
I had tried to format it from my mom's Blackberry (which is good in fixing corrupted sdcard, but failed with my first sdcard) and it couldn't finish the formatting process.
I had tried to open my sdcard on my computer and i format it and it said something like this : "Windows couldn't finish the format process" (My Windows 8 using Indonesia language)
I had tried to delete all partition from MiniTool Partition, but when MiniTool refreshed the devices list, that two partitions (FAT32 and EXT4) still exist.
What should i do now? I'm really confused with sdcard problems, what they (sdcard) wants?
Format the ext4 partition. Alfs kernel has that option in it's recovery. Then try again.
Note : Not responsible if your SD broke after this.

Looks to me like you've touched the write-protect switch on the sdcard.
Remove it and sllide the switch back again..

Hello everybody
After two days of research and attempts, I finally gave up and decided to ask for direct help.
So, a week ago I rooted an Orange-branded Ace and flashed a few ROMs over the next 3-4 days to try to find the one that could suit better.
However, I screwed up something cause at some point in the process the internal sdcard was not seen anymore.
I mean, I can still go in Recovery or Download mode, flash stuff through Odin, boot without problems and use my phone.
Although, any direct access to internal storage is forbidden.
So, no rooting.
Both 2e and 3e CWM can't mount sdcard.
The type of messages I get :
When I pick "apply update from sdcard" -> E:Failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
When I rebbot after flashing -> -- Appling Multi-CSC... Installing Multi-CSC. Can't access to '/system/csc/whatever/system/'.
No way to get a USB connection either (different computer were tried), all with drivers correcting installed.
Also tried to get to the storage mass with MiniTool partition Wizard or through Disk management, but nothing.
Factory reset is useless, as well as any recovery's wiping process.
No sdcard formatting is possible.
I flashed several stock firmwares, went all the way back to Froyo, but nothing.
I wanted to try and flash a rooted stock rom, but couldn't find any /:
Hopefully one of you will come up with the fix.
Anyway, thanks in advance to everybody.

Sdcard is an external memory, and yes you can't manage it without root permissions so when you connect your phone via USB to your pc you can't see your internal memory partition, only the external (micro sd-card).
Maybe your sdcard is corrupted, try to format it with an USB adapter and then try again

Hey, thanks for the reply
Although, I'm afraid I might not have been clear.
I haven't mounted any microSD so far and I've always been able to access to /mnt/sdcard (before screwing up).
Now, after flashing anything on the device, trying to access to My Files - or whatever file manager - will result in a dead end, since no sdcard is seen by the device itself (so, for example, I have no access to DCIM, or Music, Movies, anything).
I can't format the device cause:
- the computer doesn't see it (although drivers installed), not even from Disk Manager
- general disk-formatting/wiping softwares don't see it
- formatting from Recovery is impossible

But you're talking about the microSD, right?
What I mean is that, at the moment, I don't have one mounted in the phone.
I've had one before having problems, but I messed up partitions, so had to format everything anyways.
But, right now, it's out of the phone.
Also, as I was saying, I cannot access common folders like Music or Downloads, nor can I drop the update.zip on the internal memory to root, and I don't think any of this has anything to do with external storage /:

I'm sorry, but I might be misunderstanding.
All these folders are in the sdcard folder.
But the sdcard folder is internal, not a microSD, am I right?
When you suggest that the "SD-CARD" might be corrupted and that I should format it, are you referring to the sdcard folder?

/sdcard = external memory = YOUR MICRO SDCARD!!!!! = THE THING YOU INTRODUCE INTO THE SIDE SLOT!! NOT INTERNAL MEMORY!!!
I'am refering to your SDCARD (above you can see what sdcard means)
And yes all these folder are saved in it
The Galaxy Ace does NOT have an internal sdcard. /sdcard is the external sdcard.

I'm sorry, but I might be misunderstanding.
All these folders are in the sdcard folder.
But the sdcard folder is internal, not a microSD, am I right?
When you suggest that the "SD-CARD" might be corrupted and that I should format it, are you referring to the sdcard folder?
Yep. I've flashed (several times) 2.2.1, 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 stocks, wiping everything before flashing and right after having flashed, but I'm always stuck with no access to /sdcard or failure to mount /sdcard..

Hi inthered, I think this is getting confusing.
Sd card is the external storage, where you usually have the data, music, photos, etc. Is this sd card that your Myfiles see, if it isnt there Myfiles cant see anything, cause it cant access internal storage.
To access internal storage you must be rooted and have an app that could do that. I believe you said that your phone inst rooted, so you can only see external storage and seems that it isnt there. So you cant access all that folders ( music, etc,) cause they arent there
Have to mount SD first. You can format SD with Mini tool partition Wizard, in FAT32, and use it only as external storage.
Or you can create in this external storage one partition to help manage the internal storage, but that partition wont be seen by normal apps, like Myfiles, ou PC explorer, and you need to be rooted and everything else that didnt worked first time [but it works, I guarantee that]
To finish, internal storage can only be seen in rooted devices and with some apps ( never Myfiles)
Sorry if I wrote too much, but everyone was right, it had to be better explained
Hope I helped
thanks a lot everyone.
sorry for having been insistent, but i really missed the point about the no-internal-sdcard issue (as you might have noticed).
found only today a little time to re-partition sdcard and flash, and it finally works.
thanks again
