I have made (approximately) 512MB ext2 partition and used INSTALL.EXE. But haret gives me "no filesystem could mount root" and reboot.
Any ideas? Tested gingerbread and CM6.1. Both gives same results.
Possibly bad SD card?
You also prepared a linux swap partition of 64 MB?
And did you make your fat32, ext2 and linux swap primary?
If those are the case, then it should work afaik.
Else you might want to try a different SD card yes.
Nope, i just had primary fat32 and logical ext2.
I have recreated the way, you said and it works. Thanks!
Glad to see I helped, have fun with android!

You must set fat32 primary in first partition, and set ext2 primary in second partition, Important! ext2 primary must less than 512MB！Just format Fat32, don't format ext2.
I decide to install one of android builds from this section on my X1,It's CWM needed,so I have make 4 partition on my card[ 1Fat 32 & 3 EX2]using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2 and then apply.....My device doesn't detect the card anymore,just asking for formatting and I hit yes,and It appears again and again,trying to format the card using MiniTool Partition Wizard again to NTFS,Fat 32 and FAT again,no results,Unformat mark appears on the partition on this app.
I also tried HP format tool,but it doesn't help too....
PS:maybe it's better to ask it in X1 section,But I prefer to ask it here Bcoz of visiting by more peoples,sry....
Did you partitioned your first partition with FAT32 format? Windows can only detect the SD card first partition.
Yeah....
But just to know if i have did it what should I do?
maybe you can use "partiton manger" to repart your sd card
It's not the problem with partition software because I'm using the same version with Reza.
Did you done all the partition exactly the same as below?
Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :
- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)
- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )
- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)
- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)
* Make sure all partitions are set to PRIMARY

Hi guys, I partitioned my sd card on my android froyo smartphone but after the process was done the phone hasn't recognized the card any more and nor I can see it thru the computer. I don't have a micro sd card reader but I assume that's gonna be my best bet...
Please let me know if you have any hint.
Thanks in advance
I got hold of an sd reader and the card is perfectly seen by the computer. Of course windows won't see the ext2 partition but under minitool partition wizard both partitions are shown.
I wonder why my cellphone is not recognizing the sd card then...
Hope you guys can help.
Thanks again

the first partition must be fat32
right: FAT 32 | Ext2 | Ext2
wrong: Ext2 | Ext2 | FAT 32
Check that every partition is set to PRIMARY

That's what I did. As soon as I create the second partition the phone won't see the sd card.
I'm gonna try a different program and see if maybe it goes better. Do you have any suggestion other than minitool partition wizard?
Thanks again
Tried with gparted but always getting the same problem... still stuck...
Can you believe I created two ext partitions, one ext2 and one ext3 other than the first fat and the phone is finally recognizing the sd? That is so weird... but working!

What do you mean? Is that a question?
I want to install RunnymedeMod and it requires that I have a 1GB Ext4 partition. I have an 8GB SD Card...
I use Minitool Partition to create a 1GB Ext4. I apply the changes... I take the ROM zip file and put it on my SD card. When I go to the Recovery to install it, I go to chose the Zip file and it isn't there...
I boot my phone back up and open my SD card's file on my PC. When I look, the partition is no longer there and the ROM zip isn't on my SD anymore... it is getting frustrating.
Any helpful ideas?
The reason you can't see the 1GB partition is because Windows cannot read ext partitions. I suggest you install 4ext recovery, then create an ext2 partition and then upgrade it to ext3 and the lastly ext4. This is your best bet to make sure it's partitioned correctly and smoothly.

So I have touch 4Ext Recovery... when I want to create partitions it says First Ext and Second Ext and then Swap size.
I have an 8GB SD and I need a 1GB Ext4 partition.

First ext: 1gb, skip second ext and skip swap. Then upgrade to ext3 and lastly ext4.

I have question bro...please ans....
Why I'm using link2sd, it say mount has been create so I reboot the phone.....n I launch link2sd again it said data/ext2 can't be mount automatically
Any solution?
What's wrong?
which rom and kernel are you using?
Fire droid bro n alfs8a
Help me please
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
alfs suport ext 2/3/4
check with a partition tool the sd,must be
Fat 32: primary(above 1024mb)
ext2/3/4: primary(max 1024mb)
and if you have swap: logical
For better results reformat your ext2 to ext3,backup your sd card first
I have a 16gb sd and 1024mb ext3 primary partition and it work
25 apps installed some of them in internal and my free internal space is 201 mbs
No need link2sd apk just move each app in settings/manage applications/to sd and automatically they moved to ext partition
Can't sent to ext(i have ext2)
I already test it
backup your sd card to a pc folder and repartition to fat32 primary and second primary ext3 512 or 1024mb
or you can also partition your sd via CWMrecovery
All actions it will format the card so BeCareful

because no need more...
try with ext3 it's better
I used CWMrecovery for partition and all works fine
here is mine: http://db.tt/kZWGxtYL
I'm facing bootloop when i'm trying to create two partitions on SD Card (Sandisk 32gb class 10).I tried same thing on Xperia L & ZR (both stock rom / kernel, rooted, stock recovery), but i'm facing bootloop on both of them.
Created two partitions with minitool partition wizard- 1) FAT 32, PRIMARY, 27gb (2) ext2, primary, 2gb
After creating two partitions, inserted sd card, installed link2sd, asked for root permission, granted it, chose ext2, reboot and then it goes into bootloop.
i have to delete both partitions and re formart it to avoid bootloop.
also can i choose partition type again in link2sd, if i recreate partitions?
i think once the mount script has been created initially on 1st run of link2sd, it will detect ext2 as secondary partition from now on.
Pls help how to make link2sd functional w/o bootloop.

I didn't try link2sd on my zr before but i'm using folder mount and it works grest you csn use it and there is another script to make extsd internal sd but i didn't tried it too
But for link2sd you can try to reboot fix before apply and detectthe 2nd partition

here you are
it supposed to stop bootloop you need to use it before installing scripts that makes phone goes into bootloop try it i hope it will work with you
Good Luck
i didn't know about this script earlier. so i partitioned sd card as fat32 and ext2 inserted card and installed link2sd, reboot and then goes into bootloop.the only way to avoid bootloop is to format card and insert it.
Now i have installed reboot-remount fix and it restarted phone successfully.But still link2sd is not working.Now it's saying "Mount Script cannot be created.Invalid argument". I have tried both ext2 and ext3.There is no bootloop with ext3, but if i format it as ext2, it goes into bootloop agian (even after installing reboot fix).

Don't use Link2SD with Xperia.
Instead use folder mount.
If you do anything wrong in L2SD you may get into deep trouble. Also it requires emulated support which is possible only in Samsung phones.
