As i said in the title I have problem in clockwork recovery. For partition the internal sd and increase internal storage i need install partition.zip from external sd. But in clockwork recovery i can't enter ext. sd. How can i increase increase int. storage?
You could try formatting your external sdcard and then try again in recovery.

which type i should format?
Just put sdcard in and go to settings>storage>format sdcard. That should make it work.

this happens to me too, I formated the 16gb card many times and do not work. With one 4gb sd card works
No one knows how to solve this, I dont have any hopes. because of this I cant inscrease internal memory or make backups for my sd card that I use. it sucks

Hi to all people,
I've been exploring my new Galaxy S2 and don't know how but... my camera can't save pics on internal SD card cause storage option is in grey and "Phone" is selected...
Also I can't move applications to SD so I think problem is in SD detection... but I've no idea at all... I tried to mount and umount with CMW in Recovery Mode but nothing... anyone can help me please?
Thanks in advance,
try another sd card
Sounds like card is becoming faulty.

If its the external sd card format it through windows fat 32 .
#If its the internal sd card you can format via CWM but that wipes all data .

Its the internal sd card (11Gb) that's the matter... I tried to format via CMW v4.0.0.2 (Mounts and Storage Menu --> format /sdcard) but the same matter i can't select SD card Storage in Camera Options ... Really it's possible to save pics there?
Thx
In the camera app, saving to the phone saves to the phone's internal 11GB space. Selecting the save to SD card option makes it save to the external microSD card.

Thx Sleepycat3,
I understand... so if this it's true i can "just" make 4700 photos (aprox)? Appart from that... there are so many applications wich i can "Move to SD" so... they move to External SD or 11gb partition?
Thanks a lot

You would be better off having the photos stored on the external microsd card than the internal memory.
By having them on the internal memory if you have problems with your phone and you have to factory reset you lose everything on the internal memory.
I put everything which I consider valuable onto the external memory card.
Periodically I then take this card out of the phone and copy it's contents onto my PC.
Yes, you could hook up your phone to your PC and copy the contents of the internal memory but should you have to factory reset you would lose everything from the last backup.
How do i delete my sd card partition and the swap partition?
Go to recovery then in recovery go to mounts and storage then go to format sd ext also another is to unmount the sd card and then format but all your sd card data will go so I highly suggest you back it up.

Easiest for me is partitioning on a computer with cardreader. Here you can see what you are doing. But you need Linux. This can be a live-CD for example Knoppix.

Thats one way, 2nd method is use minitool partition in your laptop or computer, 3rd method if you want to format entire SD card to its original state is, go to settings, SD Card settings > unmount SD Card > format SD Card.
So i decided to install Aurora. But I can't acces my external sd card with cwm (5.0.2.7). No matter if i press install from sd card or internal sd card it still opens the internal one. Also I can't mount usb mass storage and sd-ext(whatever that is). Does someone know why can't I acces my external sd card?
Help would be very apretiated.
Use 5.5.0.4

Hello
I accidentaly partitioned my internal SD from the recovery console. I can see it fine, when my phone boots under cm9. The problem is that I cannot use it to store applications.
When I go to settings->storage, I can see the following storages :
1) Internal Storage total space 114MB
2) USB Storage total space 7.38GB
I tried to install google maps and I got a not enough available memory message.
Post in Q&A section please
Btw you can re-partition it again and try
Sorry. I said it was a question somewhere, though!!
I repartitioned it again a while ago, and I still get internal storage 114MB, which means I have very little space to install apps that cannot be moved to the SD.
Am I missing something else here?

Depending on what type of partition you may have made earlier ...rfs or ext 4.. your phone may be only reading one of this partitions...best to unmount and format to your current phones format
I repartitioned and formated it under recovery mode.
Nonetheless, when I go to settings->storage, I can only see the 7.38GB of the internal SD under the USB STORAGE section.
I only have 152KB of recognizable internal storage available now, which means I can`t install anything.
I use the recovery mode to partition the internal SD. I want my internal SD, to be recognized as internal, as it used to be before I used the partition utility.
Gasp!!

undo your lagfix FIRST ..than use menu > settings> storage> unmount and format to recover full SD card space
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733343
where someone gives a script that removes the lagfix, or so he claims. Can I copy it over to my phone and then use the terminal to execute it?

pretty old thread, not sure as to what kernel that script is for .
Why not try to undo partition in recovery as that option should be there...the same way you were able to partition .
Sorry pal for being so persistive but I cannot find any undo partition in the recovery.
Do I really need to lagfix before I try what you suggested before? What does the lagfix do anyway?
One important thing I just noticed. I cannot unmount it, under settings->storage because it ain`t recognized under the SD CARD section but under USB STORAGE.
Ain`t that odd?

one and the same thing lagfix changes rfs (original samsung format) to ext 2 or ext 4 formats
the partitioning you have done... I assume is to ext 4 or is it ext 2?

well, this would be case, because, you have two different partitions and your system cannot read one because its is using the other.
In storage you can unmount and format using your PC, as that would be the only option for you now (so best you use this option, but first copy the entire contents of SD card to your PC) after format you can copy what you need back to your SD card
or you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709398
but be careful which drive you format
My milestone 2 a953 gets the insufficient memory error even if storage shows 6.5 gb free. Using xplore app, I see there is nothing in internal sd I can not even copy files to it. I suspect I must have messed up the partitions somehow. Everything works except that I can not access or use the internal sd. I can only install up to 2gb of files before I get out of memory. Is there a way to reflash the partitions? Tia.
reflash your rom or system nand. that will rebuild the partition table. did you try to use your sd in a pc to check if it works? did you format your sd to check if thats the problem? did you try to mount your sd in your recovery, to check if that will work?

thanks for your reply. yes my external sd card works in all the suggestions you mentioned. my problem is with my internal sd. it does not show up in my explorer programs. i can only install apps up to 2 gb before it says i got insufficient memory. i could not even download anything to the internal sd. i can only use the external sd for it. when i remove my external sd card, the camera does not save pics to internal sd it says i need to put in an external sd card to take photos. all custom roms i flashed give me the same result. is there a specific sbf file i need to flash that will rebuild the partition table?

When you say "internal sd", do you mean the /data partition? Because the MS2 can't use the internal memory for user data like a regular (or an internal, for this matter) sd card.
In this case, it seems to me like a rom issue. Since the moto defy has only 2gb on it's /data partition, and most of the milestone 2's development derives from the defy, it would make sense. Which rom are you in currently?

Yes I mean the /data partition. I am currently using aokp. Does that mean I am unable to use the 6.5gb free space of my internal memory.

I would ask in the rom thread, maybe the dev can help you out.
