sd card 2nd partition not recognised in CWM for locked BL - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just installed the new recovery for locked bootloader on my C5302 and tried to perform backup. The backup did complete but it didn't backup my sdcard 2nd partition where all my user apps are linked to(using Link2Sd). Even the partition was not shown in mounts and storage menu of CWM. Is this a bug?

u need to get into advanced menu and mount ext-card.....

There is no mount option for sd-ext2 in advance menu. No mount option for sd-ext2 in mounts and storage menu either.

Got this same issue... Think it is because the cwm that is posted its not really for our device. It works but not 100%

Have you tried the CWM for unlocked BL? Does it have the same problem?

i have a partition but im not using it so i decided to remove partition with home partition wizard provided by yagya's tut.
just mount your sdcard with your mobile
copy all the data to PC
then boot in recovery
then go to mount and storage
from there format sdcard
and you will have single partition
then mount sdcard again and copy your data back
its very simple
Ok I will try this on Friday cause I'm busy)

[SOLVED] System Recovery ERROR.

I cannot access my present usb storage memory from 'Install zip from sd' option in System Recovery and the reason according to me for this is I switched off my mobile before storage scan completes and so partial scanned files are visible ONLY in system recovery . I reflashed the XXLQB version (which I am currently using) even did cache and data wipes twice. I also formatted my USB storage also but still I can see the folders and files which were partially scanned. The changes i make to those folders are not reflected in system recovery. I even flashed XXLQ4 firmware but the system recovery showed the same files inspite of an empty USB storage. Luckily the root.zip (by Shaan) had been scanned, so I can root my device after flashing.
Please Help guys !!!

Chirag

As I remember stock recovery only see external memory. So you can't use internal anyway.

You remember correctly. I tried it a couple of days ago and stock can only see external.
Flash a custom kernel (there is a stock kernel with TWRP recovery on the forum if you don't want a custom kernel).

[Q] How to format the internal sd card correctly

Hi,
I'm using a HTC one, which is rooted, s-on, unlocked. I'm also using maximus hd 13 rom.
I want to completely reset the content on the internal sd card. I already tried to format the card via cwm wipe and during aroma installer using full wipe. But afterwards my sd card is still not clean, all the stuff from before is still there.
How can I get rid of those sd card content?
thanks in advance,
Chris
Well I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually use TWRP and what I do is install the Rom I want...then format the sd card in recovery and reboot. It's that simple..at least for me. Now for cwm I think there's the option for to format sd..not just wipe..but I can't remember the setup off hand...I'm thinking the process would be exactly the same

Hi,
I've installed maximus 13 an hour ago, doing all wipes I found
I also use the factory reset in the android settings.
At the moment I'm looking for format options in cwm and I found the following in "mounts and storage menu":
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- format /external_sd
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
should I try these options? If yes, all of them? In which order?
I can't imagine that it could be so difficult to get your sd card clean

okay, I've done so and it looks good. Do I have to reflash the maximus rom now or is it possible just to reboot the phone and everything will work fine?

Just reboot. U should now have a clean storage.
The others (system and data) would wipe your Rom and user apps.

Totally wiping storage

Ok When I switch ROM's I notice I have alot of files and folders left over from previous ROMS. Is there a way to completely wipe the internal Storage and install a custom ROM from my micro SD Card?

I believe that custom recovery like CWM or PhilZTouch can do a full wipe.
In recovery, go to mounts and storage, and select format /data AND format /data/media (/sdcard).

[Q] unmounting /system

I know this is a noon question but I hope someone can help. In twrp how will I go about unmounting /system partition? I'm trying to flash a ROM and halfway through flashing gapps it rebooted automatically and got stuck on the Google screen. I rebooted back to twrp and tried the process again and it said unable to Mount /system. I heard you have to unmount system before flashing. Is that correct? Thanks for your help in advance

do you need to format the system first?
In TWRP goto mount, and uncheck the system box before flashing.
