Hi,
Did you use the correct recovery for your phone.
It seems you have your own forum.
Look HERE

How did that happen? And yes I've made one back up that worked and now it won't let me make any more. I've got over 2 gigs of internal storage available. I've even tried do a back up to external sd card, which has 3 gigs of storage available, and it says the same thing.

Do you think ifi flash another recovery like twrp for example that would work or am I just wasting my time?

Hi,
It is definitely worth a try.
But You should be asking in your forum,not this one.
Also,look in your dev threads for the correct version for your phone.

That was it. Must have been something wrong with the cwm recovery because I flashed twrp and it worked perfectly. Thanx for the suggestion.

Does sdcard gets formated after swap partation

Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

If you create a 2nd partition with swap in cwm your sd card will be formatted - always backup data first before partitioning
copy all your sd card folders & files to your pc then copy them back after partitioning

I want to do partation for increasing ram

So yes, it will get wiped. Also, it would b good to make a ext partition too if ur probably using swap to run more apps. Meaning more storage.

Hi,
Are you trying to wipe your data in order to install a new ROM?
Or are you trying to format your sd card?
They are 2 different things.

Hi
Just the sd card from changing roms I get a lot of leftover files and folders from downloads and apps etc

Hi,
You want to go into recovery.
Mount and storage.
Format external sd.
Make sure you back up your stuff first.

Why would I format ext sd? That woukd be my micro sd memorycard

That's what you asked for in your post "just the sd card"
In s4 there is 2 storage areas internal storage and external storage which is the sd card...

@cameracartwright
If you want to format your internal SD card using PhilZ CWM do the following:
Mounts and storage/ format SD card.
However there is no need if you install an app from Play Store called SDMaid, it's awesome!!
Go to 'corpse finder' and it cleans out your phone of left over crap from previous apps and roms

[Q] Can't move apps to sd using SACs custom rom v4.1 [SOLVED]

I'm having issues moving apps to my sd card, I keep getting an error not enough space even though I have 59gb available. I've tried reformatting the card in my phone but that doesn't work, any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!

I found a couple articles and forms saying the cause of this could be because of the 4.3 update, has anyone else using 4.3 experienced the following error message when trying to move an app to external sd card "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space"?

Good idea, another user suggested I reformat the sd card using Philz Recovery (I selected exFat format) then rebooted and was able to move apps

Something is very wrong, please help!!!!

Hi everyone, so my nexus 10 was working great about an hour ago. I'm rooted, I have CWM Recovery, I was running CM 10.2 and I wanted to try out CM 11.... So I downloaded the zip file, wiped my data, wiped cache and dalvik cache, went to install the update and got an error 7 and install aborted. So then I went to install my backup that I had just created and.... Md5 mismatch. I can't boot past the Google except for into CWM. I'm at a loss, what should I do?! I only have a mac computer and when I plugged it in, the computer wouldn't recognize it. Please help!!!!! Thanks.

Best advice I can give is to find a friend who has a Windoze system and use the Wugfresh toolkit to re-flash factory stock from fastboot:

I found a toolkit for Mac, got her up and running. Just installed CWM again and going to root now. Thanks everyone.

If it fails just download cm11 on the computer and adb sideload the ROM.
