I recovered the space from my Ubuntu partition. Now WebOS info shows 64 GB again (I have the white one). But in Windows (when I use the USB drive from WebOS or CM9) and Android the system only shows the original size before recovering the space from the Ubuntu partition. What can I do to use all the available space again? I mostly run CM9 now, anyway.
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.
Please mark solved or closed
hi,
prior to today i had a cm9 + webos touchpad.
i did a lot of stupid things today, some accidental, some carelessly
now all my restore backups are gone (the worst that happened)
my cm9 still boots up.........., but i have 16gig of my 32gig touchpad "damaged"
and my webOS does still boot up, just that it takes about a good 40 min........
-----------------------------------------------
it all started when i decided i wanted to upgradd to Evervolv AOSP Android 4.3.1 JB (20131110)
before i began i wanted to make sure i have 512mb boot alloted, i followed and flashed the zip file
update-cm-tenderloin-system_resize_512-0.4.zip
but it didn't work, so i tried this other repartition zip from the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477806
sys_512mb_data_plus_16384mb-signed.zip
and now i can't get anything downloaded to do anymore upgrading because i don't have a sdcard established
---------------------------------------------------------------
i need a solution, but it must not involve using the micro usb port and a computer. that port has been dead for about a year now (which is why i didn't bother upgrade all this time)
anyone got a solution?
Have you tried using the WebOS program called Tailor? Tailor can resize partitions and attempts to 'fix' errors.
Do you guys know if tailor formats anything if i add space to my system partition?

I used tailor resizing my data partition. All my files are still there.
Hello,
I figure someone here might be able to help since most of where I found information regarding my issue came from this subforum. My phone is i897 (Captivate), but I think it should be similar; I posted there as well but no luck .
I normally can get by pretty well, and I have done numerous searches before posting for help. This time I have really run into a brick wall, and I really need help here.
Basically, I did something really stupid where I did not know that the phone had been booting off a external SD (my mom gave it back to me like that). Actually, I suspected that it did because the phone would have not booted without the card, however, I could flash my phone even if I removed the external SD card (as if the internal SD were there, but it wasn't), but it had always required me to insert the card back in for it to reboot from a flash. So I thought maybe internal SD was fine.
Originally, I had a Samsung 8gb class 6, but I wanted to change it to a 32gb class 10 ( to help the OS run smoother IF it were running on external SD). This is where I made a great mistake; I formatted the 32gb card and made 3 partitions. The first one is in FAT32 of 24 gb, 2nd is in EXT4 4gb, 3rd is the rest in EXT 4 as well. The original setup that was working had about 5.5gb in FAT32 and about 1.88gb of EXT(not sure which). The mistake was that I also formatted the 8gb card as well. In chronological order, these were what has happened:
1. I did a Odin stock reset to 2.3.5 with CWM injected
2. Installed Corn Kernel
3. Formatted both external SDs and repartition as mentioned above
4. At this point, I didn't know there was an issue. CWM sees the external SD and I tried to install CM 10.3 since I read in one of the threads that JB has a weird file systems and it needed to be installed twice to fix sdcard0 and sdcard1
5. CM10.3 installed kernel, and failed afterward since there was no /system and /data. At this point, I have Neat Kernel installed and lost bootloader along with fastboot and cannot access download mode.
6. I have tried to change EXT4 to EXT3 or EXT2 to see if there would be any luck in file system recognition, but no luck
7. The only way I can connect to the phone was through ADB, and verified that my internal SD card was dead because mmcblk0 was not there when I removed external SD
8. I tried to mount mmcblk0p1 (4gb EXT4 partition) and mmcblk0p2 as /system and /data, but I had been getting an error
9. I tried to use USB mount in TWRP, but no additional drive showed up (confirmed dead internal SD)
9. I tried to look for vold.fstabs but /system does not exist. The only *.fstabs file founds were in /etc file (not /system/etc) and is, for example, aries.fstabs
I know for the fact that it can be done because the phone was working before, but I really don't have enough linux knowledge or the what the phone looks at in chronological order in order to figure out how to remedy this. I would really appreciate if someone can guide me to a right direction. Thank you.

Thanks. I'll try when I get home to my desktop. For some reason, my laptop does not recognize the phone through adb. It shows "SGH-i897" in device manager with an exclamation mark. And yes, I have tried quite a few drivers, etc... :/
I might need to try this...

I just had a chance to look at it more thoroughly. The biggest problem for me is that my phone does not have an OS, and it's on semaphore kernel where I cannot access download mode nor fastboot. I have tried to install gingerbread kernel to try to recover download mode/fastboot (speedmods), but I kept running into error 0. I have also tried to modify the su.binary, but that didn't work :/. Any idea how to start? Thanks.

Based on your earlier comments on the partitions failing to mount, you should format: system, data, datadata, cache.

Well, I tried. If it doesn't mount at all, how can you format?
I have two HP Touchpads, a 16GB and a 32GB. Both have CM installed by me. The 16 ran for about a month and then crashed & won't reboot ("unfortunately Trebuchet has stopped"). It seems that /cache is corrupted but I have tried every function of TPToolbox and TWRP to repair delete resize or wipe and each one fails due to /cache problems. Reinstall also fails. Grateful for any insight / assistance.
Same problems on my wife's old unit. Tried almost every option and no go on retreading this tire. What's sad is if WebOS Recovery was still available, this would be an easy fix, but all my attempts running this process and doing a complete reset back to webOS have also filed. WebOS partially works, but repartitioning using Preware tools (Tailor) have also failed to fix corrupt storage.
Suspect I'll need Linux to ADM and reformat the partitions, but no go with this either and would love some help from some Linux junkie who may have a suggest.
Maybe someone can help both of us and please let us know if you make progress and I'll do same.

webOS recovery doesn't help me - reinstall fails
I can still boot webOS but it doesn't have much space. I bought a 32GB motherboard and am going to try installing it.
