Stuck trying to make sure a2sd is working... I moved the zip to the SD, partitioned it, upgraded to ext3, and now I am trying to flash the damn zip and it keeps saying there's no zip files found. SOmeone help please? Really dont wanna have to boot up for nothing...
you need to put the zip back on your sd when you put it on there THEN partitioned it formated the card hence the zip got erased. either reboot and add it or boot into recovery and use the usb mass storge option.
Lol! You should've flashed the zip then partitioned. Partitioning wipes your SD card so of course there is no zip to flash!

you put the zip on
...and then partitioned?
Yeah, apparently I followed some idiot directions... this is why I would rather ask people first than do a damn search. Here's the quote form the thread I followed:
1. (Optional) Download A2SD version 2.5: http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc...2.5-signed.zip. Save the file to your SD card. If you don't want to download this version, skip this step.
2. Reboot the phone into recovery mode.
3. Partition the SD card by selecting Partition SD Card -> Partition SD.
4. Once you have partitioned it, press the back button to go to the main recovery menu.
5. If you downloaded the A2SD version 2.5, flash the program by selecting Flash zip from scard -> a2sd-2.5-signed.zip. Otherwise, skip this step.

I thought that was fishy, so after I partitioned, I pushed the file back onto SD (which is really not empty after the ext2 to ext3 upgrade, or partition ffor that matter)
After I re-pushed the zip, I tried to flash it but still says no zip found. So, I go into adb... here's the results:
Code:
You stupid ****er... dont have 2 phones connected at the same time!
If your SD is not empty after partitioning, you did something wrong. That will wipe your SD card.
Download the file again. I used the same link and his directions and it worked fine.
crap... now adb wont even recognize the device as attached
ok point me somewhere so I can go back to complete stock and re-root and reinstall DC. I am aggravated and not playing around anymore.

Try unplugging your pone, killing and restarting the server, and then reconnecting
-unplug
-adb kill_server
-adb start_server
-plug phone in, wait for it to do its thing
-adb devices

tried that and didnt work, i just let the thing boot regular and logcat worked, so adb recognized it again after it began booting. Show me a ROM that's clean, everything works for the most part, and doesnt force me to wipe everything on each update and I'll be flashing it now, after I RUU.

I think there is a lost+found folder that is created during format. That's true for all ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.
Update fixed the SD was broken I don't exactly know why but it explains everything so thanks for all your help and sorry for not being very
clear.
Hi I'm having issues with clockworkmod.
See the problem is while trying to flash cyanogen mod I was getting the endless loop so I kept
at it until I managed to flash it. The problem is I flashed Cm6.1.0 so easy fix right? Well I thought so too until clockworkmod wouldn't find the zip. So I tried nandroid and it again couldn't find any zip so I checked the partitions menu and clockworkmod had mounted the
Sd card and the cache. So I unmounted both and still nothing so I looked at the setting's again and it remounts the cache and sometimes the Sd card. Well my problem is worsened by
the fact that the version of cyanogen mod that did flash doesn't have the market or flash.
Any help will be welcome. HTC aria.

With CM 6, the Market is in the GoogleApps zip which must be installed after the ROM.
Also Flash 10.x does not run on the Aria; the CPU is not supported by Adobe.
Well clockworkmod won't find any zip not even nandroid and so my problem deepens so now can't get the market crap.

Some of your terminology in your post is very confusing. First of all, ClockworkMod will only find ZIP files that are copied to the root directory of your SD card. If you copied them to a folder on your SD card, CWM will not find them.
Second, Nandroid is a backup and restore utility and it does not use ZIP files. It creates backup folders on the SD card under /clockworkmod/backup and contains image files of the various partitions on your phone.
So what is the exact state of your phone? You stated that you have flashed CM 6.1? If you boot your phone normally, does CM 6 start up and are you able to use your phone? In order to install gapps.zip file to get the Market app, copy the gapps.zip file to the root of your SD card and see if ClockworkMod can install it. BTW, in CWM you are select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard", right?

Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I guess the root location only applies to "update.zip", right?
Yup. And it actually must be named "update.zip"
Oh crap I just formated the boot partition and now my phone won't boot at all!
It still won't find any zip. What now? Is there any way to restore clockworkmod?

Are you copying the zip files from your PC to the sd card? Have you tried downloading a ROM zip file directly to your SD card using your phone's browser?
I have exactly the same problem...Clockwork will not see any .zip files....even tried mounting usb storage from cwm, it mounts and the zips are there, yet it can not find any of them when i try to find them (all are in the root of the sdcard)...any ideas?
So if you pick "choose zip from SD" you can't manually pick a zip?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Found a solution:
1. Get SD card formatter from HERE
2. Plugin your phone (as USB drive), start up the application and format the card (default options selected) NOTE: backup your SD card to your PC first (obviously)
3. Unplug the phone (or put it into charge mod, whatever)
4. The phone should now try (and fail) to mount the card...go to the SD options and format the card using the phone function
The .zip files should now be visible in ClockworkMod Recovery (it worked for me and a few others as far as i know)

Surely borrowing an SD card from some of your close ones shouldnt be an issue? Anyway, did you try using an RUU to get back to the default state?
i;ve tried to use ruu, it only sees my phone while the htc logo but it says it's not enough charged.. i think ill try to wait until green led comes up and try it again ;/

Sounds like you might have partitioned your card, and now are looking at two different partitions, one from windows, one from recovery. You could try repartitioning it from recovery, to make sure that you only have one FAT partition and one EXT and that they are in the correct order.
Mine has its FAT partition on p1, and ext2 on p2.
hey mate,
could you guide me how to do it? in recovery i have;
unmount system
unmount data
unmount cache
mount sd-card
when i click on mound sd-ext it says "ERROR MOUNTING SDEXT:!"
;/
i took off the sd card and formatted it then i mount it into the device and tried to choose zip file but it was unmounted in options so it didnt show me any files, next i've mounted sd card and left sd-ext unmounted and againt its the same, it shows me the old files which dont even exist anymore, i guess it maybe something with partitionin, but how to do it? could you guide me how to make one fat and one ext ? like u have? thx in advance
I partitioned mine from a linux PC with an SD card reader attached, but it should work from recovery as well.
From the Clockworkmod recovery menu, choose advanced and then partition sd card then choose the size you want for the ext partiton, then the size for the flash partition (if any). That should set them up correctly in the correct order.
Questions/Problems don't belong in the Development section <---please click link and read....moved to general...
i've wipped cache and during wippin it said that there is no sd-ext partiotion ; / it's something wrong with clockwork but i have no idea what.. it shows only the old files that i've loaded on sd before flashing with cm7 rc-2 ;/ the weird thing is that i remember that i updated cmw do newest 3.0.5... (something like that - the orange one) and it worked fine but next when i log into recovery it shows the older version oO
i successfuly manange to update cmw, i used adb in that purpouse and now everything works fine
alrright guys, i dont know what happened and it happens first time in my 4 years with android but when i installed CWM my sd got locked when i tried to open it up (to flash zip custom rom) and since then it doesnt unlock. doesnt format, although i can see the files in it and copy from it, but not write. Any ideas?
fix permissions might help i think... try go to advanced and fix permissions...
fix permissions in cwm? where is this option?>
it didnt help. Apparently in cwm it displays the option to delete some files from the card but as soon as click delete it freezes. Whats the hell, plz help
Mount the card on pc with an adapter, backup your files/folders, and then open windows partition manager, delete and recreate the fat32 partition.
Marshmallow had a new cool feature of adopted storage but all the flashoholics had trouble in changing roms because they have to format sd card every time they change roms .
I have a solution.
1:- while flashing rom wipe system dalvik cache and cache but dont wipe data .
2:- flash the rom and let it optimize apps .
3:- after optimizations most probably you will be in bootloop , simply boot into recovery and wipe data and reboot.
4:- your phone will optimize apps again and this time it will boot up and you can access sd card as adopted storage without need to format it again as internal.
This trick worked for me and should work for you guys too.
There's another method that is :-
1:- navigate to root folder
2:- copy all the files from data/misc/vold to somewhere in SD card
3:now boot to recovery wipe everything except SD card and flash new ROM .
4:- now using twrp's file manager move the files you from step 2 to the same folder I.e. data/misc/vold
5:-reboot
According to twrp dev, you can use this trick ' Note, if you factory reset and leave the key present in /data/misc/vold, then Android will still detect and use the adopted storage on the next boot.'

Dirty Flashing....and adopted sd card
If I dirty flash a rom by just clearing the cache and dalvik cache, will the old adopted sd card setting work or will I have to follow your procedure even then also?

Yup but most probably you will get boot loop if you have installed significant number of apps....so clean flash is advised......and use the trick mentioned

i had 39 apps installed so you can say i have lots of apps
but this never happened to me before i flashed 13th april nightly...
ultimately i had to wipe everything, do a clean flash and use this method to save the sdcard

Sorry for bringing up this old thread again, but I've an issue where I had to hard reset in order to get root on my Moto X Pure. I didn't think about whether or not I should make any backups of my sd or nand.
I thought I could just continue using the sd as adopted storage on my new ROM.
Anyways, when doing this trick do I leave the sd card inside?

well it works. you can also switch from cm13 to cm14.1, but the option migrate data, to migrate from internal to adopted is missing afterwards

Just copy it to your SD card using file manager. Then when you flash ROM, go into twrp file manager and copy-paste it back to vold folder.
However, if you are on a nougat ROM then you don't need this entire trick at all! Just flash ROM without this trick. The .key will take care of itself automatically without any problem.

Well, in TWRP file manager, don't you see the option 'sdcard' ? Go to TWRP > Advanced > file manager > sdcard.
I'm also using SD as internal and flashing ROMs and stuff without using this trick (on nougat).
