Hi,
Sorry guys need to ask. I have checked out the forums and i think this hasnt been asked before. Again sincere apologies if it has.
I am using an incredible s, just got it s-off and rooted and was about to flash Android Revolution HD from my sd card.
As part of the process I had to flash 4XT recovery which I have.
I just need to check, whenever I go into recovery is says the following :
"You currently have some EXT3 partitions ->If you wipe/format. I will use EXT3 You can however explicitly wipe EXT4 by visiting the "ext" <-> ext menu
If you are on an EXT4 Rom, you may want to conver the partitions to EXT4. Open the ext3 <-> ext4 menu to do that"
I know I will have to flash a wipe file before flashing the new rom.
Do I need to do anything to address the details above or can I just contiune as normal?
Sorry my first time tinkering with an Android phone.
THanks
You should wipe and convert all partitions to EXT4 before flashing the new ROM.

Thanks, the wipe will be done through flashing the file "Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe" am I corrent?
Also, how do I convert the partitions? I read some threads where people bricked their phones by playing around with the Partitions on the SD card. Not sure if this would mess me up as well
Any insight?
You don't have to wipe or convert! Just flash super_wipe.zip you mentioned, it will do everything for you. It cannot be easier
Thanks, it worked perfectly, running Android Revolution HS with the sense 3.0 all in one patch

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

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.

I will give it a go tonight.
I had problems partitioning my SD card with CWM or rom manager... Installed Amon Ra recovery and first time I tried partitions were set
got my nexus one week back.its rooted .it has rapassion recovery 2.2.1 and HBOOT v0.35.0017.i wated to try my hands on flashing.so i downloaded [ROM][2.1+3.0/2.3.3] Rev0lutioN v2.8 followed the steps wiped data,done partition swap size 0 and ext 1 1024 mb ,selct ext2 ext2,then ext3 ext 4.then flashed the rom from sd card .but on rebooting it is stuck @ NEXUS ONE X IMAGE .pls show me some way to flash sucessfully i can get back to that fastboot,recovery etc page by volume down and power button
i would dl this to sdcard and flash a couple times thru recovery before flashing rom. wipe dalvik and battery/rotation settings too
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/Extreme-wipe.zip
not wiping system can cause issues
assume you met ALL other rom requirements
also i don't reformat sdcard while in phone--use sdformatter
the first thing i do when i get stuck is pull battery and reboot--not sure if you tried that
thanks..i will try that...does it matter well i was trying to flash nand version may be that caused problem..one more help can u pls guide me to how to do 1gb ext4 partiton..or sugget me some stable sense version for nexus i can flash easily
if you are new as indicated by one week ownership, i would start out with cm7 stable roms from android development section
use the system wipe zip i provided
sounds like your card is already partitioned
best thing to do is read up in wiki and as much of rom thread you are going to flash, the op page has good info and i usually read last few dozen pages
if you flashed nand version, assume you flashed blackrose hboot and repartitioned
hboot to recommended sizes per op page link, if you did you will have to go back to stock hboot to flash cm7 or try sd version of rev rom
i had surgery and not feeling well tonite, let someone else come along to add to my posts
ken
feeling a bit better, here is quick answer
backup sdcard
i use sdformatter to format outside phone--full erase and size adj on
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht
this ensures card is fully formatted--phone just does quicky
then put card back in phone and use amon ra to repartition card to 1gb ext 4 0 swap
seems you did those steps already
then copy sdcard data back to phone
I installed a modified original CM 10.1 rom by OP from thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209580
it says it supports a2sd in the settings (attached screenshot), tried to click on a2sd information button but it says "error loading A2SD information"
I tried flashing the INT2EXTV2+ script in recovery it didnot work my screen freezes and I had to remove my battery to start again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
Then I tried flashing the INT2EXT+ script in recovery it ran without any problem but still i could not see my sd-ext partition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146688
so i flash the patch, now I am able to see my sd-ext parition with space details (attached screenshot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863876
now the problem is how to get my a2sd working, is there any scripts that I need to flash again or do I need to mount the /data /system......manually, I guess that is what those scripts were for right?
Please help me I cannnot figure out any heads or tales of this thingy, I recently rooted my phone so kinda new in the game
any help is appreciated
[Q] I9001 error "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"
Hi guys,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 10.2 for some time now, from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436670
Now I want to upgrade to CM 11, but when I try to wipe data I get this error, and when I reboot it's like nothing happened, all apps and files are there, absolutely nothing's changed. I've tried all sort of things, nothing from the other threads helped. Tried formating the sd card, partition, mounting/unmounting and formating. I have an internal sd card. I don't really get around this too much, I only have the basic knowledge of android systems.Any help?
Hi,
I can't really tell what your problem is, but obviously your recovery tries to wipe the wrong partition when wiping data. mmcblk1p2 means, the second partition on the internal sdcard (not the internal memory!). Strangely your recovery uses the wrong partition number.
No matter, I first recommend to reflash recovery (important: recovery from ADC Team) and ROM (CM10.2).
It looks like you've installed a kernel for dualboot (two different ROMs on one device, where the second one is located on the sdcard). If you did, just reflash CM10.2. If not, just make sure you're using ADC recovery and no custom kernel.
I hope this will help,
Fabian
Thanks for your reply,
I do remember installing some kernel, I think it was the one offered on the thread of CM 10.2 I previously mentioned. And I'm using CWM recovery. Should I just flash that recovery again?
Yeah, it'd be the best just to reflash recovery. Please use one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463347
After that, just try again and tell your results
Thanks, will do soon
Success!
Will try CM 11 now, thanks a lot!
