Howdy friends. I recently rooted and installed cyan 4.0.1/teds hero. Everything was going smooth until about 20 min ago. The messaging app kept force closing everytime I would open a thread, so I rebooted. Upon startup, it said my sd card is now damaged. I clicked format, and nothing happened at all. what's the solution? Any help would be appreciated.
i assume your doing auto apps 2 sd with an ext2/3/4 partition? go to recovery and repair ext filesystems. that should fix you up.
I did nothing beyond rooting / cyan / teds hero.

k. if you did not partition the sdcard, then take the sdcard out of the g1 (unmount it first in settings), and put it in your pc. try to get the data off of it as best that you can. repartition and format as fat/fat32. put the data back on it, then stick it back in your g1 and see if you can access it, etc.
good luck.
your sd card corrupted, gonna have to reform it, if you install the recovery image from the mytouch that is floating around in the android devolpment forum under new recovery that has an option of reformating your sd card.into 3 partions that would work for you than reflash your rom and theme
here is the link to it. just use in terminal (after putting on root of sdcard also make sure that cyanogen's 1.4 is on the root of your sdcard as well, also for safe keeping have your cm 4.0.x rom on sdcard too)
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img
reboot recovery
then once it boots into recovery use the option to format your sdcard into 3 partitions then once it is finished reflash your rom to activate apps2sd, then once it boots up go to the terminal and type
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
that way you will have easily partitioned your sdcard, got apps2sd workning, then return to a recovery image with a recovery console!
I agree with you on having a recovery console but that mytouch recovery is a great way to point noobs since it will easily partion the card for them

thats why i included the steps to going back to the 1.4 recovery after using maybe cyanogen will look into this for his next recovery image. i also sent nephron a pm to see if he would like to include it into his partitioning guides
I hope he does make it into 1.5 for us because it just his 1.4 with some great additions and just missing the console
my g1 will freeze after brand, tried recovery mode wipe but that doesnt work either, anyone have any idea what i should do?
(edit)
i tried camera+power boot and it flash and say No Image
Is your phone rooted? What mod are you running? There are lots of things to come into play you left out.
yes its rooted, im running recovery 1.4 cyganomod 4.0.4
Do you have the update.zip that you are wanting to flash on the root of your sd card?
no, i tried installing a theme through cyganomod updater and after it was done i rebooted as usual and it wont past brand logo
Time to wipe and reflash the cm 4.0.4
i cant even access my SD card at all
ill have to get a card reader to do it, xp says that i need to insert a sd card
can you get into recovery?
better yet, do you have adb on your pc? it would be better to upgrade to amon-ra's recovery thru fastboot. then you can mount the sd card from recovery and put what you need on the card.
I love how much easier it is to use amon_ra's recovery. I have no need for shell use anymore for everyday stuff And mounting/unmounting sd cards from recovery is AWESOME! Thanks go out to amon_RA!
yeah i can get into recovery
go into the console in recovery, plug your phone into your computer and type
ums_enable
enter
this mounts your sdcard, put the files you need on the root of your sd than type
ums_disable
enter
this unmounts your sd than type
recovery
enter
this puts you back in recovery
I have been searching the forums for 2 hours trying to figure this out and I cannot find out how. I tried following the tutorials on the forums here on how to partition the SD card but none of the settings that were listed are not on my recovery. But I still tried it anyways. Here is the list of options on my recovery
Reboot system now
Nandroid v2.2 backup
Nandroid v2.2 restore
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Apply sdcard:choose zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe SD:ext partition
Wipe SD:dalvik-cache
Part SD:fat32+ext2+swap
Part SDnly fat32
Repair ext filesystem
Convert ext2 to ext3
Fix apk uid mismatches
Fix rotate
USB Mass storage on
USB Mass storage off
The bottom says "Build : RA-heroc-v1.2.3".
Upon reading the tutorials, I decided to try something different. So I wiped ext partion, parted sd fat32 ext2 and swap, then converted ext2 to ext3. Applied PureHero 2.1 and I enabled Apps2SD, move apps to sd, move dalvik cache to sd, enable JIT, and changed dalvik heap to 24mb. It rebooted and none of the applications I downloaded and installed were transferred to the SD.
Before this I applied a rom before wiping and parting and changed the same settings and it wasn't working then either.
I tried using the cmd and located to my android-sdk-windows and tried finding what version of apps2sd I had but it kept aborting. I tried repairing and it kept aborting, I even tried installing and it kept aborting.
I am at a loss here and I am trying to get all of this working.
It is a 2gb card and it is only showing 1.34gb available so I have no idea how to give me the full 2gb like it was before I tried partitioning.
Before I posted this, I applied the program at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116 and that didn't work as well.
Please help.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I would try to upgrade to RA-heroc-v1.6.x, it might be your recovery not partitioning correctly or something. Once you have upgraded, go ahead and wipe everything (data, dalvik, and ext). Flash your ROM. Before you move your dalvik to the sd card you want to make sure you have at least a class 4 sd card. Once your phone is booted up check your internal memory and you should have 90+M out of 159 or so. If you have that then I am pretty sure your ap2sd is working. You can also check to make sure it is working through adb. I don't use the option in recovery to move the apps to sd. Hope this helps, and I hope my information is correct, lol. I still consider myself a noob.
Ok ill do some research on how to update and see what I find. If that don't work then ill come back and keep you updated.
Thanks
EDIT: I have tried updating my Recovery using FlashRec and it isn't backing up my recovery or finding the recovery at all. I am on ubuntu so maybe that might be the problem, idk. Is there any other way I can update my recovery? I have 1.6.2 downloaded and just need to apply it.

The instructions are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581521#1
I used the adb method last night no problem.
Note: the first thing it tells you to type is "mount -a"
After which your phone might spit out some sort of error message. Don't worry about it, it doesn't affect anything. That's what people said, and it didn't affect me.

Well this is confusing lol. I went into recovery, went into USB mode getting ready to update my recovery option and a screen popped up in ubuntu with the folders app, app-private, dalvik-cache, and lost+found. Apparently I had apps2sd working the entire time... But I nandroid last night back to ZenEXP. Idk if it still works in Pure Hero.
But now that I have apps2sd working, I can flash a new rom and still have my applications right?
EDIT: In Windows 7, it doesn't show the partition anymore for the apps2sd. So im just gonna go ahead and update recovery then repartition everything.
Please update with whether or not your apps still work after flashing a new ROM, I want to know if it works like that.

I cant update the recovery at all. I have tried both ways and it fails.
I tried adb and as soon as i try to use the command "mount -a" it says "no such device". I tried using "mount /sdcard" and it says "Device or resource is busy".
On the Fastboot + adb I can load into fastboot. But when i type "fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img" it says "cannot load fastboot boot 'recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img'".
I tried pressing the trackball on fastboot usb and the screen goes black for a second, then i hear a connect noise in the speakers then it shows fastboot for a split second then fastboot usb again.
Also in Fastbot +adb when I use the command "adb shell mount /sdcard" it says "device not found".
EDIT: im also starting to think my adb shell is broken or something lol.
Ok nevermind I got it working. I typed mount /sdcard and it said it was busy but then i used the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img" then Rebooted into recovery and it says 1.6.2 and its blue. I just hope I did it the right way and didnt **** anything up...
EDIT: Ok well I partitioned it with 64mb swap, 1024mb ext2, converted to ext3, and loaded up PureHero 2.1. How do I know if it is working? I have my DConfig options set to move dalvik and apps to sd, with JIT enabled. Do I just install an app and see if the internal memory lowers or stays the same? How do I access the apps folder through USB mode?
This is how to tell if you have A2SD working

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

I don't know if my solution is the ultimate solution or not but you guys can give it a try.
problem :
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)"
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 all,
my fist post on xda and a noob as well with my first android.
I had someone do my first root and put GEOs rom, as i wanted close to stock to learn android some more, I now want to jump on your rom. the A2SD version
so I try to partition SD card for A2SD+ through clockwork.Then download your rom. By rom manager.
before flashing rom phone info shows (android version 2.3.3 GRI40) and then after flash showing (android version 2.3.3 GRI40) ?
how can my phone be the same rom version pre & post flash with out doing nand back-up?
as that must mean I must have screwed up after flash ?
do I flash this as well ? GRJ22 system dump (boot.img/system.img):
if I do do I flash rom first or system dump first ?
as well not positive when partition SD card for A2SD+ through clockwork that it did partition sd card right way?
I am noob to use ADB and prompt commands and my micro sd slot on comp is not working
is there android app to partition SD card and or check if partition worked on sd card ?
sorry for long post
can anybody help
PS I am trying to flash this rom

If the custom ROM you flashed is base on the same Android version than it's still gonna be the same Android version.
What does the "MOD version" say?
You can partition SD card using CWM or Amon Ra recovery. This is not an app, it's your custom recovery. If I'm reading it right you already have CWM recovery.

I am on GEOs rom Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GRI40)
and i want to flash this Gingerbread 2.3.4 [GRJ22] the App2SD one from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13430563&postcount=1
I went in to recovery to CW via rom manager and then run partition tool in
recovery, but when trying to DL a APP that needs sd card to be partitioned
it fails to run. saying sd card must be partitioned first.
so I take it CWM recovery failed to partition my sd card and I cant figer out how I my rom version stayed the same after coming out of flash ? with out having to do a droid back-up if I screwed up the flah process? afrer trying to flash a 2.3.4 rom. that is App2SD supported rom.
If you were trying to flash another ROM and it fail to flash for whatever reason, than you're still running your
current ROM. That's why when you left cwm and booted up, it just went back to whatever you had already.
Basically it never got to a point of writing anything, it did some check and found you didn't have correct partition
so it probably aborted.

ok but status bar in recovery did its thing for around 5 minutes with no error message. So I take it CM recovery cannot partition SD card properly ?
is there away around it besides CW recovery and command promts via sdk on pc. like a APP?
or even a APP to check if CW is Partitioning sd card Properly ?
thanks for the help
ClockworkMod recovery should be able to partition your card without an issue. When doing it, it will wipe your card, so make sure everything is backed up. Pay attention to what is on the screen when you do this. It will show you any error messages that may occur. So, if you didn't see any error messages, your card should be partitioned. Same goes for when you flash. It should show you why it didn't flash (assuming it didn't).
You can use minitool partition wizard on your PC and it will preserve your data without wiping it out like Gparted/Unbutu.
To check your partitions download terminal from market or use adb and type
Su
Busybox df -h
It will show partitions fat, ext and swap sizes.
