use some pc tool like Mini Tool Partition Wizard for windows

if you don't have more than 8 gigs worth of files on your sdcard, back it up and then partition. just to be on the safe side. =)

Format it on your PC but do a normal format not a quick format. Then try to format it from the phone.

Yes.. you can partition by installing clockworkmod's ROM manager. But I would suggest you to install the ROM from my given link.. Because HD ROM's from evil have many issues.. NO camera and wifi and some other issue.. it is less stable. But the link I've provided is very stable ROM and it is by Evil.. so.. its your choice finally.

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

SDCart Partitone

hi
Do I need to partition my memory card to use custom roms? and what does partiton do??
I don't know what you're doing but I have not done anything special to my sdcard. Just use it as normal. On some other devices you need to partition the sdcard because there is not enough ram and system memory but this device is fine.
i dividing my sdcart into 4ext,2ext,and more partiones and my 16 gig sd now has 11 to use. so u say that i return back my partionts to normal and stuck??

Looks like you came from some other HTC phone (like Desire, just like me).
You don't need sd-ext partition to use with IncS cause this phone has enough space on nand+ram (no need for a2sd scripts), so just go to recovery (I assume u use 4ext) choose partition sd card, start from scratch and skip selecting ext partitions so you'll get only fat32 partition. And, of course make a backup of data on your sd card cause it will be wiped.

Mount the card on pc using an adapter or working phone with mass storage option, then format with standard procedure (on Windows right click on removable disk and format), if doesn't work try to flash again stock JB, you can try another version if your device isn't simlocked to the carrier.

recovery.fstab is a part of the recovery image into kernel, you can't copy-paste it, you can only touch vold.fstab with root access. But this is not your problem because you have flashed stock ROM! As I said earlier: try to flash again a different version of stock JB or try downgrading to see if the problem is resolved.

Try with re-partition of your SD card. Maybe it is in ntfs format, as far I remember we do not have NTFS support out of the box (only with CoCore kernel).

First - what do you want to do? vold.fstab will swap your internal and external memory. And sure it will not help you see your SD card on PC or recovery.
I had problem with non visible SD card in recovery on GB - and solution was to partition it again.
Is not only to swap, but also to set mount points. Yes, I forget about repartition, said to format current partition in fat32 but he said that with an adapter or another device works

Later on I tried the 3.5Gb partition EBR files and successfully flashed them. It successfully extended my phone memory to 2.8 Gb but I was unable to mount the Internal SD. Hope I have done some miStaKe during the flashing via SP Tools.

My phone has got new WINGS....
Kisses to the dEv for his ultimate work....
Few more issues
I see few issues with this ROM.
1. Earlier I used to have flip to silent feature in my Turbo however after flashing with this ROM i`m unable to use Flip to silent. I tried Motion gesture settings but still no go.
I noticed that with Titanium backup when I move all the user apps from phone storage to Internal Card after restart they are back in phone storage.
Also is there a way to default storage apps in Internal SD card.
