i have an GA
android version 4.0.3
imaginaty ics3
app2sd included but doesn't work i must to partition the sd to ext4 and fat32
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
for app2sd and media...
yours faithfully
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.
see this..it might help u...

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
Remember to backup your SD card, it will wipe everything in it.

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...
thanx for clockwork mode advice i did everything like it is writen now i have to flash new firmware..... phone got loop stucked at twrp....
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

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??

The purpose for partitioning an sdcard is to expand the internal storage with external storage, right?

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.

My thanks and credits to:
Shabbypenguin, Garwynn, inteloper and Talustus from dream team for all the help I've got and for making this possible.
I know we have fully working recoveries already and I made this just to learn the process and for the future if I'm not that lucky any more and don't have amazing devs like Shabbypenguin on the same device.
I still have a lot to learn but this is first step I made in that direction.
Here is my recovery tRec_v0.3.6 that has been used for quite some time on E4GT.
It has been compiled with great help from devs mentioned above with CM10.1 for our phones.
The mount points have been fixed thanks to Dees_Troy from TWRP team.
Now back ups are saved in correct location and can be accessed with apps like stock "My Files".
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.tar
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.zip
So far I was able to back up, restore, flash zips etc.
It looks like I'm a good student and it works.
I have tried zip file and it works.
Tar should work fine with ODIN but I didn't test it.
I'm using heimdall to flash recovery.img.

It based on CWM recovery.
Have did some changes and edits long ago to make it work with GS2.
Small updates and edits and we got new OS dropping.
So it's somewhat modified and edited CWM.
Been using your recovery and kernel on wife's E4GT for quite some time. Excited for your stuff here.

I havent flashed it yet, but if its based off of CWM there should be an option to "create backup to external memory" right before you execute the backup. But im kinda puzzled on why that would mess with your internal memroy. Are u currently running a TW ROM? or are u on one of the Alpha builds of CM/AOKP?

Look in /data/media/clockworkmod
You will find your backups. You can move them to the sdcard or delete them and start fresh.

You device shows 0.92 GB free space
and back up of this phone is about 3.5-3.6 GB.
So you have 1/3rd of needed space for back up.

According to you first screen shot, externalsd isn't mounting.. So there's an issue right there. I'll flash it over and test.
Also, even if your backup failed, you need to use an explorer and check from root /data/media and see if you have a clockworkmod folder with a partial backup. Just delete it since you know it failed. (partials will still be written on a fail)
@agat - I ran a few lines for @shabbypenguin earlier and you may want to get with him on the mount points.
ls -l /storage/emulated/legacy - gives - /mnt/shell/emulated/0, which isn't read properly. So users won't see the files under /data/media without an explorer. Seems to be common with CWM and the S4. It thinks the sdcard is /storage/emulated/legacy.
Shabby can explain it a lot better than I can.
:edit: Just saw your reply Agat. I know Garwynn's recovery is resolved and if you've been working with him and Shabby, I'm sure yours is as well. Only open issue I'm aware of is exfat.
Thanks guys. Backup on sd card complete. Just can't figure out how I used up all my device storage space.

Just used stock "My Files" app and was able to navigate to both internal and external /clockworkmod/backup folders.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean it's read properly an I need explorer.
I can see and access both folders on my PC and with "My Files" app on phone.
I modified the original script to work for our mount, and then put it in a flashable to flash after flashing a ROM to have storage swapped right away after booting. No need to manually move the script to /system/etc/init.d any more.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks to original script author and others who figured out what mounts are which.
DOWNLOAD
Script info:
extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The result is a very big increase of installable apps on your device.
All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.
Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.
This is ONLY for 4.2 custom ROMs with unlocked boot loaders of course. Not tested with stock 4.1 or CM10 (4.1) You are welcome to try it though and let me know the results.

I can't get 4.2 to read the storage in settings correctly. I put a specially named folder on my external SD card and when it shows up as internal I know it works. You won't be able to see the external SD anymore which is now technically the internal.
Formatting SD cards won't make any difference here. All were doing is telling the system one is the other.

I have my game data on my computer, I can't seem to make it stick so I can restore my games to where I was last playing.
I haven't formated anything. After I flashed the zip my data went away, but on the other hand I can see the data folders in root explorer.

To undo just delete the script in /system/etc/init.d
This isn't doing anything obtrusive guys its just placing the script for you is all.
Its recommended you do this after a clean install of whatever ROM you run.
As for the game save data I will swap the storage and then OPEN each game to make it create the corresponding folders and then restore
Does it work on 4.1.2 Mexico Retail debloated?
What if i have apps installed and my mmry card is also filled?
Seeing as how it says 4.2 roms only what do you think man? You can try it to see if it works though. You really want to do it on a fresh rom install.
