Can someone explain how to format the ext sd card, or post a link to such instructions, please? When using shabbypenguin's recovery to wipe dalvik cache, it always says, "couldn't find ext sd card path," but in RootExplorer, I can access files. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Well, you are kind of asking two questions here. The 'error' you're seeing that says "could not find ext sd card path" would lead me to believe that the path to your external SD card is invalid, meaning maybe a folder is not there.
You should search how to format an SD card next time before posting - there are a bunch of threads on it.
When using Windows, navigate to the SD card in Windows Explorer - right click the storage device and hit "Format..", choose the type of format you want and hit "Format Now"

hello,
i want to wipe my android and start from scratch , also i want to delete any contents on my sd card...
but what contents on the sd card must remain? i remeber when i bought my desire, there were already folders on the sd card, are they important??
how do i do this?
first wipe/reinstall rom , then format, then wipe again?
Why wipe and then reinstall the same rom? Wipe=factory reset which deletes all user info, apps, etc etc. As in it will look like it did when you wiped and installed rom for the first time. Just reformat the sd card and you are done. You aren't gonna see a completely empty sd card after reformatting. There will be system folders that android will place there.

After you have wiped and flashed your new rom, you can format your SD card from within android. That way, it will be able to place the default folders in there for you at the same time.
perfect, thnx for the info...
Hi,
I'm new to the scene and I wanted to try out CM7 booting from SD before I install it to the internal memory. I am having a problem pasting the CM7 zip file on the card. The instructions state "Put the file to the SD card (there is only one partition). Don't change the name of the file."
After I burned the installer image to the card it only shows up as having a capacity of 115mb. It is a sandisk 16gb card. From what I read I need to access another partition, but I dont know how to do this.
Could someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

If you are seeing a partition named "boot" that is 115MB, that is correct. The CM7 zips are all around 95-97MB. You will not be able to see the other partitions in Windows without additional software (Windows only sees the first active partition on a drive).
(You will, however, see the storage partition (in your case ~13.5GB) if you use USB storage mode to connect your Nook to your PC once your CM7 SD install is set up).
Edited: Sorry, ignore me!
I posted in the wrong thread and couldn't find a way to delete my post!
Yep, the "only one partition" that you see is the "only one partition" that you need. Put the zip in there, put the card in your NC, and gogogo.
Thanks for everyone's reply. I was able to get everything working. I actually just had to rename the zip file to Update-CM.zip for everything to run correctly.
Thanks again.
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
I got Note 3 Neo, and when I try to use my Transcend 64GB Class 10 Card, I get the following message:
"Blank SD card
SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem"
The card work properly for sumtime and then suddenly the above message starts to appear.
I have tried formatting on Win7 PC, in the phone - But same thing.
Also, if I use 32GB class 4 card its working perfectly.
Please provide solutions folks... and is their a way to format this card in Fat32, coz in windows there is only option for Exfat & NTFS..
PS: I am on Stock 4.3 JellyBen and the 64GB card is absolutely proper as when I use it in my camera its working flawlessly.

go in recovery anf format it from there....
Don't format it using Windows, that's a really bad idea.
Use the format option under Settings > Storage > MicroSD > Format.

The only option I got in recovery is :
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache Partition
apply update from cache
There is no option to wipe the SD card (Am on stock JellyBean)
Also, I have just done complete format (not quick) and still same issue. A google search shows numerous ppl are facing same issues but with their S5.
I guess I am the first one with this problem on Note 3 Neo. The only solution is to switch to Samsung MicroSD cards - Someone should Sue Samsung for playing such a ploy.

Try this, put your sdcard in memory card reader and connect it to the phone using usb on the go cable, see if it can be read using usb otg. If it can be read, most probably you have sdcard port issue.
Hello
I have rooted J5 (2015) with stock marshmallow 6.0.1 (rom installed manually via odin) and i want to use link2sd app. I make 2 partitions FAT32 and ext2 both are primary and FAT32 is a first partition. But link 2 sd dont see second partition. When i make script via link2sd i get message No such file or directory. I try format card and use ext 2 ext3 ext4 formats always that same error. I think that maybye sd card is broken (i have old 2gb card) it can be it?
You need to separate partitions on your SD card, you can do this either by PC (if you have microsd slot) or using an app, i don't remember the name. Those are the ways to make sd card second partition for cache and etc.
But doing that you will just slow your phone down
What do you mean separate? I have two partitions fat32 and ext2
