http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912427
I don't know how to partition my sd card in windows 7 can somebody help me?

Just use magldr 1.11
This makes it on its own...I don't have my HD2 in front of me right now, but check out the magldr options on your phone, you will find it

Hi,
Windows 7 cannot create EXT4 (or any EXT for that matter) on its own.
You can use tools like GParted.
Here is a guide that will explain what you need to do:

[PRJ][LNX] openmoko on opal - update!

using haret and the wing linux kernel an openmoko image boot on opal!!
i find all on open-nandra web site
but using an ext2 partition don't boot
you must make an ext3 partition
thanks a lot to marek(open nandra) and the wing linux team
how to:
Your SD card should have 2 partitions:
- fat
- ext3
extract the attached haret.7z to FAT partition of SD card
extract rootfs to ext3 partition
run haret.exe and wait some time (you should see angstrom splash screen)
do the screen calibration (if the phone freeze soft reset it relaunch haret)
now you are in openmoko
thanks to open-nandra and winglinux team

did u test that? u mean that
kernel + haret : open-moko-kernel-wizard.tar.bz2
rootfs : openmoko-devel-image-glibc.rootfs.tar.bz2
work on opal?

the function are the same of winglinux (no audo - no wifi - no bt - etc...) becouse the kernel is the same
for making a partition you can use a live cd of linux like ubuntu
and yes i test it on my opal and its work
for booting it you must keep the default txt and change the mtipe
and use the zimage of winglinux package
tomorrow i'll upload a zip whit haret default and zimage

Mistery!
did all that from the description! however, did not get it to life!
I create partitions with that mini tool. Copy all of that files what i need! Windows 7 can see fat partition and i can do with it what i want, but in my WinMob device HTC Touch Viva((opal) using Jogan2 EVO-B rom) sd card is invisible!
Linux see all of partitions.
Why Win7 see that card but WINMOB don't?

?
Will try to reformat the partition and recopy files!
no...something is wrong in default.txt
i tried many texts but could't rin
haret cannot find "mmcb1KOP2"
maybi we need to give a correct name of partition! Or special label!
any new? g.triple can u see again what's the problem?
i also have extracting problem with 7.zip

[Q] Failed to get ext2 partition in any way i tried!

I have tried all kinds of ways to partition my sd card to get data2ext to work on b 0.5.
- Partitioning through rom manager
- Partitioning through paragon partition manager (didn't even work)
- Manually partitioning by running commands through terminal emulator
I manage to get the linux swap and fat32 partition but no matter which method i tried, i just can't get the ext2 partition. On the emulator, it asked if my file system was an ext2 system.
By the way, i am using an 8gb sd card that came with Nokia 5800. Is this the cause of not being able to create the ext2 partition?
Easiest way I can think of is to use the live distro of Gparted.
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Awesome partitioning tool and has a gui anyone can follow.
E.E.
i just partioned my 8gb yesterday with paragon, no problems. what kind of problem did you have?
@eepunk I will try that later... i'll see if there is any solution in the current software(s) i have...
@haha123 the problem i'm facing is i cannot see the sd card when i click format partition... Maybe i'm doing it wrong. Here is how i do..
1. Plug my phone into USB and click Disk Drive
2. Open up Paragon Partition Manager 11 Personal
3. Click on Partition Manager on the left tabs and launch the partition manager
4. At the bottom, click on Basic Hard Disk (HTC Android Phone USB Device)
5. Click on Format Partition in the Disk View tab.
The problem is when i click format partition. It just shows the hard disk in my PC but not the HTC Android phone USB Device.
I even tried skipping the format partition to try creating a partition but i still cannot see the HTC Android Phone USB Device.
The Error i get is "The disk already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended one.
Eh...
Why not just boot into Clockwork and use the Partition menu

I followed this step by step guide:

I had the card formatted to fat32 (using windows) before partitioning, maybe you can try that?

Hmmm, i was looking around in that menu but there isn't any saying create partition... just format and stuff... :S
@haha123 Hmmm, give that a try.... i've just downloaded the gparted software so will try that first...
EDIT: Given up all hope, i can't even get gparted to boot with USB...
Check the GUIDE...
Thanks blayo, i tried that and it crashed all the apps on my phone until i had to format my sd card and restore nandroid... hmmm... mysterious, but thanks, i'll let data2ext pass.... wouldn't want to brick my phone...

Well, this is the formatting guide... what the hell did you expect? There are certain files on SD fat32 partition that some of apps use. If you unmount SD card and reformat it, those files are not available any more. Right?
Yeah true but even when i restore it doesn't work. Alright man, thanks for the guide anyways.

[Q] HELP with Swap Partition

hi guys i have been searching the forums for tutorial on how to properly partition your sd card and your phone to use a swap partition for swapper. i heard it allows speed up performance for the phone while using some apps. can anyone pls help me with this. i just want a better performing GT540. thanks in advance
I'd be interested in a tutorial for this as well.
Thanks
Most opperating systems have a built in manager for it, including windows. Look on YouTube, that's how I did mine.
Or use clockworkmod.

On windows you can create partitions but swap belongs to linux so unless you use a ubuntu live CD or a machine with ubuntu...

A ext2 partitions is the same on all operating system
Clockworkmod will also partition you sdcard
So i just create an ext2 partition on my sd? Then what's next?

Back ur memory card up first. Depending what size memory card you have depends on the size of the partition
The most you will need is 2gb, I would only us 500mb.(2gb sdcard)
You need to have a fat32 partition for your normal data and the ext2 for the swap file. Then just put it back in you phone.
BTW I lost my last memory card trying to unpartition it. So if you only want 1 extra paelrtition use clockworkmod.

[Q] Android NooB question: Cannot get a SD card mounted...

Hi experts here,
Sorry to bother you but I could not find clear explications on how to do it right:
I have formatted my 16GB SD card to have 13GB Fat 32, 1,5 GB Ext2 and 0,5 GB linux swap.
Then I have copied the current AmeriCan Android to to the Fat32 partition and fired HaRet.
Android boots fine, but has got no SD card mounted and the menu to mout it is greyed out.
a) how to mount the Fat32 Partition of the SD card?
b) did Android install on the ext2 partition? If not, what is the procedure to get it there?
Thank you.

As far as I know, sd-build android's data/storage is in a file called data.img located on your sdcard. I am not sure if it's supposed to show that you actually have an sdcard.
a) I am not sure, so I can't say anything.
b) Find a rom you want (because you can't convert your current ROM to an ext one, you can make a backup though) from the nand section. If by (boot from ext) you mean NativeSD, you don't need MAGLDR/cLK. Just look for the "NativeSD for Windows Mobile Users" guide, and follow it. But if by that you mean (have your storage on the ext) then you must install cLK/MAGLDR, install a recovery, repartition your system accordingly and then flash the rom from the recovery install earlier.
If what I said made no sense to you or you think it's too complicated, use the search.

May I try to reformulate my questions?
- Can Nandroid mount (read-write) the SD FAT32 Partition which contains the filesystem image from which it has booted?
- If yes, how?
- If no, would nativeSD be the solution to share (read-write) the FAT 32 data between Android and WinMo?
Thank you for the advice.
Hi, I think we are in the same boat, I am running an SD version Android ICS from my SD card and it says that no SD card is mounted. I would like to know how I can transfer music and side load apps I already downloaded. It would be great help if someone could help

Finally, I found it out: My SD card was partitioned. I made an extra second EXT2 partition for Android, which was a bad idea.
It turns out that Android cannot recognize partitioned SD cards or they need a separate mounting procedure, don't know exactly...
Since I have deleted the extra partition Android can read/write on the full SD card...

Not enough memory to install anything

Hi,
Short / long story:
I have long time unused HTC HD2.
With Android (NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.5.zip is the file which I found in backup, so I assume this is what I install - sorry, it was long time ago.
Some time ago I need microSD card so I took it from my HD2, I did backup only windows FAT32 partition.
Now, I need to run my HD2 , I have install microSD 2 GB (800 MB FAT32 + 1GB Ext4) but is not working correctly.
It starting I can install Teamviewer, but when I need to install HTC module for teamviewer it's telling me that is not enough storage.
Quite often is restarting and after restart not keeping any settings (wi-fi) app installed (teamviewer) it's resetting each time to factory settings.
In Settings - Storage shows 'Total space' - Available 0.00 bytes
I did what is instructed on this webpage but it didn't help http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...mory-in-android-nand-roms-cannot-install-apps
Can anybody advise me which is the easiest way to make my HD2 working properly? Means have enough memory to do anything.
The purpose of restoring my HD2 is working as a router, tethering machine. I need to share internet from mobile network for smart TV and Tablet over wi-fi. It will be unattended so I need remote control access (team viewer host).
I'm open for a suggestion of changing the ROM if there is something reasonable easy and described (as I'm not big ROM expert). i've seen a ROM list for HD2, is too long.
Thanks in advance for your help.
it sounds like you are missing a data partition, perhaps the sdcard you used before had an ext4 partition which your new one does not have. Use recovery, in nand, to create an ext4 partition, then boot into rom, might work.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I did Ext4 by MiniTool Partition under Windows primarily.
And later in recovery, I have setup 1024MB and swap = 0 M.
It didn't help.
Should I mount it or so?
Update:
I have a look in log in nand - recovery and it's says that my second partition is Ext3 not Ext4.
And there is no way to change it.
What is your nand recovery? version?
Clk or magldr?
The recovery might say ext3 when it means ext4, but it does not seem right.

It says on the top bar screen 'CWM-based on Recovery v5.0.2.6' but was install with ROM so should be fine.
try using the recovery to format the ext partition to ext2 or 3 then use it again to ext4

As I said, I have created and formatted partitions under windows FAT32 & Ext4 and then under recovery, there was no choice of the file system file, I can only choose the size. And it was formatted to Ext3 - log saying.
