I am dual booting WP7 and Android the latest Cyanagen Magldr from the SD card. Before i installed android Windows saw its half of the 32GB partition without an issue. AFter this I:
I booted into android and set everything up,
Rebooted again into windows, verified again the partition was still there.
I booted back into Andriod installed a few apps then rebooted to setup windows
Once i booted into windows to continue with setup i checked the partition information and it only sees 176.53MB
I checked the partitions in easus partition manager and Both Partitions are primary with the windows partition a little bit bigger than the Android
How do I get it back without having to start over?

So I just traded my iPhone for a rooted MyTouch. It has the Cyanogen mod I believe. Well all of a sudden I could not access my SD card and when I tried to open it on my computer it said 'Wrong Format'. Wouldn't work on the phone either. So I formated Fat32 and thought I could start over.
It still shows my apps installed in the Marketplace, although they were on the SD and deleted. I can't uninstall them, but it thinks they are there, somewhere. Has anyone had this problem? I am relatively new to Android and rooting. I had a jailbroken iPhone before. Thanks!
kinda depends really. I would suggest first going thru recovery console if you are using amon recovery and partition sd card there. With most modified roms you have apps 2 sd so there are actually 3 partions. The biggest is fat32 for data like music, then ext2,3,4 for applications then a linux swap partition to help expand the ram on the phone and if you formated on PC or from settings on phone those partitions are gone. So I would do that first and then try to uninstall from market and reinstall again if not you may need to wipe and restart the device.
How do I get into recovery mode? I tried going to the terminal and using the flash_image recovery /sdcard/imgfile but it says I do not have permission?
Any ideas??
If your phone has been rooted right by the previous owner, you can access the recovery mode by first powering down, then pressing home and power at the same time.
Ahh! That worked! thanks!
I have a variation on this problem and lost my apps and Market, hope someone can help. Started with the SD card coming unmounted randomly, known issue with EVO I guess. Followed the recommendation of reformatting the SD by plugging it into a Windows PC and doing a FAT32 format. I backed up everything I could "see" from SD to C: drive. I am running a custom ROM with APPS2SD feature and Clockworkmod recovery. I'm very new to Linix and Android but, it looks like there is a Linix Ext3 partition that is made by APPS2SD on the SD card and that is where all my apps where, including android Market app. So, upon copying all the folders back to the re-formatted SD I had no apps and no android Market to able to re-download all my apps. I guess Market is like a licensed deal that you can't just get a .apk of and reload it. I do HAVE a current recovery backup that was on the FAT32 directory of the SD card but it appears the the Ext3 partition is not in that recovery file. I tried booting into recovery with Clockworkmod and reformatting the SD again, I tried a "Restore ext3.img" but Clockworkmod comes back with 'sd-ext.img not found" so I am guessing that the Linix Ext3 partition backup was stored IN the Ext3 partition of the SD(?) and the system and data stuff is stored in the FAT32 recovery file. Brilliant idea (not)! I tried a re-flash of the ROM, flashes OK but no apps. Anyway, the SD is properly partitioned now, the FAT32 stuff is back on, I don't know how to look in to the Est3 partition but, I know there is one program there cause I installed a file explorer by downloading and executing an .apk and there was an option to install it to SD. Going to factory reset and starting over again is not an option. Any ideas please?
SOLVED this issue:
apperantly the android market application is called "vendor.apk" and can be downloaded from various sites BUT WAIT, it's not that simple. Apperantly the vendor app has to be specific to your phone (hardware)? On a whim, I downoaded the previous version of my custom ROM (happedned to be Fresh ROM) .zip, I extracted the vendor.apk from the .zip and installed that. Then, I had an apk called MarketUpdater.apk, or something like that, that had installed in the phones system/app from the last Fresh ROM update. I ran this to update the vendor (android market) to the latest version, then I ran that. Did it work? NO, it crashed hen I tied to run market. I then did a re-boot. Did it it work? NO Upon attempting to reboot it got stuck in a loop and froze. Very scary. So, remove the battery and try again. I think I had to remove and re-install the SDcard somewhere in there to get it to a first time boot and, after a re-boot, whalla, come back with a working market. Market remembered all the apps that I purchased and I re-downloaded everything. Of course, I don't know for sure where they are stored right now (SD card or phone??)
And, my original problem of SD card constantly coming unmounted has been fixed.
Hi,
every time i boot WP7.5 (Yuki) my Android partition is empty.
I saw that the WP partition needs to be bigger and i have now
1Gb Android and 2.5GB WP partitions but that does not change anything.
I use dev_extrapart cause if i do it on the PC then WP does not boot anymore.
And do i really need to always reset Windows (dev_storagelock) if i want to change files on the Android partition?
I changed the Android ID on my Nook Color (with Titanium Backup Pro) and now it is boot-looping, at the point where the arrow head moves around in a circle. It is running CM7, but I'm sure the rom is at least a year old. I think it has CWM recovery. How do I get to recovery and what should I do?
[edit] I found this thread and will see if there is something I can use.[/edit]
I pulled the microSDHD from the device and I can read the boot partition on my PC. Before I attempt repair, I want to copy a few data files from the SDCard's data partition, but I do not see it. How do I mount the SDcard partition so that I can copy the files? I know how to do this once I can successfully boot to the Android desktop, but not without the desktop.
I looked through verygreen's SDCard installation instructions here and I can execute boot into recovery, but that just looks for update files and shuts down. I did not get a menu to allow me to mount the data partition via USB for the PC to read or for any options at all.
I have a bootable SDCard (verygreen's) and removed it to boot from emmc. That works, so the problem is on the microSDHC. When I insert the microSDHC (8GB) card in the card reader on my PC, I see the first three partitions are healthy and the last (5.9GB) is not. The only partition that I can assign a drive letter to is the first partition, Boot. Is there any repair I can do to that forth partition?
Hi I need some help with configurating Android on config that i stated on topic title. So let's start my SD card setup have Windows partition + FAT32 and EXT4 partition. Windows boots normally, AD Rom flashed on EXT4 partition and boots without problems. My problem is FAT32 partition not showing up in Android. I think that it is some android bug or sth, because rom flashes ok. I am using tytung's KitKat v4.7.
Any sugestions?
Hey xda,
I'm trying to install phoenix OS as a standalone OS on my 64bit pc.
I followed every step from this thread, no exception: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ph...opment/problems-installing-phonix-os-t3681518
I'm 100% sure I did not miss any step, I tried it at least 5 times.
After installing phoenix I can chose "Run Phoenix OS" OR "Reboot".
When I chose to run phoenix after installing, it boots straight up, runs extremely well, quite impressive actually!
It boots without the bootable usb, and when going into settings --> storage , I can clearly see it's installed on my HDD (5xx GB free).
BUT, when I restart phoenix, it will just say "Missing OS". And there is no way to boot phoenix, the only way to boot it again is to reinstall phoenix using the bootable usb.
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: before you ask: yep I created 2 partitions, one fat32, 350mb, flagged as boot and installed GRUB2 on it. The other one ext4 and installed phoenix to that.
And yes, my HDD is set as the first boot device in the bios.
I'm lost
EDIT: 32bit has the exact same issue
I think the problem is related to a limitation of your system, like the partition size or partition format (MBR, GPT, etc). Do you have EFI or BIOS? If you have EFI, I'd suggest that you try to use EFI GRUB2, no need for creating a partition for it, if the disk is partitioned correctly, you should have a hidden EFI partition... If it's not the case, please give more details about your system, it may help...
