Hi there.
I have a 32 GB SD card, which is partitiooned onto FAT32 and ext 3 for s2e.
I rebooted into recovery to flash a new rom, and went to wipe data, it all went fine until the SD ext format. It got stuck (waited 15 minutes then pulled battery off). Tried again, nothing. But SD card mounted fine on recovery. Flashed the rom without wipes, it didn't boot. Replaced SD card and it booted. Unmounted the other SD card on settings, and plugged the 32 Gb one, it didn't recognized. But: recovery did.
Then I remembered I took my SD card off to listen to music on my DVD before that, could've that messed up my SD or external partition?
Will I have to reformat it on PC?27 GB of data, oh god

No that wont make the sd card corrupt.. bt if some operation is going and if u hav removed sd card. That could make it corrupt. Bt u try magic partition n first try to format only sd-ext if possible.
Or u can also try some recovery tools to copy ur data..
If dat doesnt work. I wil try to search for u n wil try how to get it back
Hit thanks if that helped u:thumbup:

Tried formatting sd ext on mini tool partition wizard. It took about 2 hours and showed unfformated partition. Tried again, same thing.
When I was going to format the main FAT32 partition my cousin left and took her notebook but tried through CWM recovery and it got stuck...
It still mounts on CWM, the pc and my dvd...
I think I will try to put it into my moms nokia then format it, then try to format it again on CWM

Hey guys, after having my phone for coming up on 2 years, my Internal SD has been filled with tons of garbage apps that I've tried, uninstalled, and a bunch of other stuff. I was wondering - what is the best procedure for formatting this to clean it up a little? If I copy my Titanium Backup folder to my PC (some savegames i want on there ) am I pretty much safe to just format it? Is there anything I should know?
Can anybody offer me any information on this

I also need to knw, if its safe to format Internal SD.
Since im on ICS, i have noticed many of my Games (Gameloft) are not working properly and continuously crashing, previously i was on GB, I think its because of the data stored(game data) or any thing else in there. Agn, is it safe to format Internal SD, that is approx 6gb. ?
If Yes, then what items are to be made backup?
You can format your internal sd card no problem. Personally I like to copy everything off the internal sd card onto my pc first. Once this data is safe I delete it off the phone. Restart in recovery, format the internal sd card & do a factory reset, clear cache and dalvick cache.
Now phone is like new...

Stop spouting nonsense. The internal SD is separate from system.
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Even formatting on a computer should not affect System partition. Not unless if you are using ADB commands to specifically format the internal SD. That's a LOT of extra effort.

I haven't tried this, but I'm assuming Snapper's correct on this subject. The PC will only mount the /sdcard partition, which you should be able to wipe without losing any of your /system data.

This happens when external SD is there.Try removing the SD card and check whether pictures r still there.
Also the gmail account sync with Picassa n pull in pictures from there.check that too.
Thank u Dr.Ketan ,it did work indeed! but the external_SD folder still carries my previous downloads?? This external_SD folder points to files of my external sd card right? how can i format files in this? Thank u.
Yes i said, you have to flash ext card with setting-storage
N select flash sd card
Or
u can format with pc like this( i recommend this)
keep usb debbuging on
Connect device, select connect to pc from notification
You will find separate drive letter for ext mory card
Rt click on drive letter n format

i think when i did the sd-card it's damaged i know how to resolve to work for my phone just format it fat32 but i want partition it to use it to the both sides

Better solution is use :MINItool partition...And create a primary partition(Use EXT4) and one more partition(Choose FAT/FAT32,, Just check out!!) for SD use.. Then apply. It ll format ur SD card into two partition.. I m using Link2SD.. No problem till today.

SOOO TRUE. I used CWM to partition mine. Less time, less tools to prepare (no need to download computer programs, connect via USB etc.)

Go to clockwork mod recovery and choose partition SD card ,choose the size for ext4, swype choose 0,wait,done

On cwm the customer recovery the probably you already install in order to install custom roms you can do that boot your phone to recovery them go to advance and there is and option that say i belive partition sd... that will format your sd card you can even select the size of the ext4 partition and also the swap partition size, more easy than use minitoolpartition...

That will not delete the sd-ext and swap partitions if you have them.
If you have a card reader, you can do it manually by using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I did it that way and had no problems at all, just watch out what are you doing

If they do not know what partitions are, then why would they make them on their sdcard anyway? If they can't make a difference between "Local Disk C", "NTFS FileSystem" (talking about Windows, Linux can create confusion) and "Removable Disk X" and "FAT", "EXT2/3/4", then i have anything other to say then - go to a roof of a building and jump off it

Try doing a test with another card before flash again new ROM. Maybe your card is defective.
I do not know, I hdont have other ideas, perhaps colleagues to come with other solutions.

I think backing up data from sd, formating it and transfering dta back will help more than reflashing phones software. You got problem when you was using sd with other device, your phone didn't have any problem.
P.S. Didn't read all your posts, I used tapatolk. Try to repartition you sd card. There was problems with custom recoveries with some sd cards if theh was not repartitioned. Look in xda how to repartition sd card.
