Can someone please explain to me how to correct is problem? I'm new to installing roms and rooting. I'm using clockwork.
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Get rom manager app from market and flash clockwork recovery, then partition your sd card to get an ext.
Or do this with amon ra recovery.

Thanks for the advice. I been trying to install cyanogenmod 6 on my evo. Are there any specific setting of an 8g sdcard and do i still need to install a ENGbootloader if i partition my card?

Solution for No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Hi,
Background:
I have a beloved ZTE BLADE.
Had a new 8 GB Class6 microSD card.
I don't have external SD card reader!
Goal: To partition SD card with FAT32 and ext2 partition to use app2sd feature.
Problem: ClockWork 3.0.1.4 (CW) can't do partitioning. (Exactly it say it is done, but after it can't find ext partition.)
Message is: No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Solution:
1. adb shell - (There are some guide for beginner how to do this.)
2. umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or else parted will crash. Also fdisk can't write partition table because of used partition on same device!)
3. fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 partition to fat+ext2 Don't forget to write it at end!
4 Manually make ext2 fs:
#mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
5. Manual mount of ext2 partition. ( Or else you will faced with error message later. CW will not se the EXT2 partition !!! )
Error message if you skip this step:
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
6. Umount ext.
# umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Tadamm! Voala...
CW will be able to format EXT partition and mount it.
The trick was manual umount FAT partition + manual mount ext2.

Robert Szabo
No known solution (so far) for Nook Color
This weird problem is showing up when I am using Clockwork to prepare my Nook Color for installing an Android installation. It is appearing pretty consistently right now.
I have looked at various solutions:
1. Creating an ext partition on the SD card
This involves going to the Advanced selection on Clockwork and partitioning the SD card. This is a bad idea, because it (obviously) wipes the SD card completely, removing Clockwork and making the SD card un- bootable. As a result, you cannot do anything else with Clockwork (including, of course, any flashing!).
2. Attempting to create an app2sd partition on the Clockwork SD
I noticed that the Clockwork image, when placed on an 8 GB SD card, leaves about 380 Mb of unallocated space. Using EASUS I attempted to allocate some space for a partition called "app2sd". I do not know if this would have solved the problem, because ASUS is unable to create the partition. When you do the Apply in EASUS, it acts like it is creating the new partition, but then it reverts everything back to unallocated.
3. Searching for solutions on the Net
This is a waste of time, because most of the solutions people have given are either not for SD cards with Clockwork on them, or they presume that you already have a flashed and running installation and suggest using an installed Clockwork in order to create the partition. Since I am trying to get it to work properly on a Clockwork SD, these solutions do not help.
What is needed is either a Clockwork installation procedure that places an app3sd partition on the SD card when the image is put on, or a way to place an app2sd partition on the card after the Clocwork image is put on it.
This of course assumes that the app2sd partition is even needed on the Clockwork SD. If it isn't, then could somene please tell me so that I ccan forget about this problem?
Otherwise, does anyone know of a way to get this partition on a Clockwork SD card?
Thanks in advance for any information...
before putting the ROM preferred to do this: put the original CWM / + volume buttons and power / do 2 wipe / replace the modified CWM / do the other 2 in advanced wipe / format system / install the ROM favorite / and you're ok .
* doing so I have solved this problem.
My phone did the whole failed encryption bull shhhh. Figured that the issue is either located in the Vibrants DATA Partition or the SDCARD Partition (internal memory). I have attempted to ODIN back to stock but when it goes through the wipe data factory reset stage at the very end, the Data Partition fails.
I'd like to know of a way to manually get into the phone and format this partition clean. Then maybe odin will work.
Can it be done with ADB?
I got an old REcovery put back on trying things out from step one when I first got the phone a year ago.
Boot and Data partitions wont format. Boot just fails and I doubt thats where the issue is. But Data gives me this error:
Formatting DATA:...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Done.
So anyone got any pearls of wisdom here? Or is this thing truly bricked?

Read this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902 . There is no known fix just a work around, good luck. That bug made me go back to GB ROMS, it's ICS related unfortunately.

iTz KeeFy is correct. There is no "fix" for the ICS bug. Only a work around that requires the use of your external sdcard.
Odin >> Heimdall >> JTAG will not fix it.
Hey guys, wondering if you could help me. I'm running Jelly Blast V-3.5, with Rafaels Kernel 2.6.35-7 on my S5380i. I've been trying to increase the internal storage on my device by partitioning my 32gb card in CWM with a 1gb ext. I've tried every solution I've found on this forum but I simply cannot get it to mount. Link2sd yields 'invalid argument' no matter where I point it, and when trying to format/mount the ext. in CWM it just says 'apps 2 sd partition not found'.
Here's a list of the things I've tried which have failed to solve this:
Partitioning in minitool, with various sizes and exts, and setting the partition as active.
Flashing conrod script, doesnt seem to be effective.
Script to mount sd-ext at boot, followed iamareebjamal's guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971689

Mount2SD
I'm completely at a loss, and with the internal storage of the S5380i being what it is, it would be great if anyone could offer me any advice.
Thanks!
do one thing , I'm recovery check if sd-ext is mounted
it used to happen to me that when I flashed new roms I had to mount sd-ext from mounts and storage
so mount it then reboot your phone
go to link2sd and create mount script as ext4
if problem persists , go in storage info of link2sd so see if the partition is mounted
if not you will have to enable auto mount at boot ( if option present in rom ) or mount using terminal emulator

Thanks for responding.
Attempted to mount in CWM but just receive an error. It's as if the partition isn't there at all. Re-partioned the card but still, no luck.
My rom doesn't have the auto mount at boot option, so it looks I'll have to mount with terminal emulator. Could you run me through the process, or point me towards a guide? Cheers
what error did you get in cwm while mounting ?
yry this line in terminal
mount -o rw /dev/block/
mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
also is mount2sd file present in your /etc /init.d folder ?
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium
The error in CWM when attempting to mount is: 'Error mounting /sd-ext!'
'mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext' in Terminal Emulator yields the following line: 'Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory'
The mount2sd file is not currently present in my init.d folder as I restored my phone from a backup, though when it has been there, the error in CWM is still the same.
The only difference I have noticed is that when partitioning with MiniTool, Link2SD will say that the partition is not mounted, but when partitioning with CWM it will say that the partition is not found.

Did you format ext2 in the secind partition? Normally when you format with cwm, first partition is fat32 and the second partition is ext2. Try to format all available space to 1 partition and using cwm format the card to two part. May be partitioning before makes cwm recognize the wrong part and gives error.

Ensured all the space on card was unallocated and partitioned in CWM recovery.
Attempted to mount /sd-ext again and still receive the following error: 'Error mounting sd-ext!'
Attempted to format /sd-ext and receive the following error: 'No apps2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext'
Tried so many different ways/combinations of partitions now. Do you think it could be a kernel or rom issue?

Make sure you have backed up all your files in your sdcard they will all be deleted and recreated with two partition.
In CWM enter Advanced --> use Partition SD Card
Set your second (ext2/3/4) partition size then set swap to zero (0).

That unallocated space is your problem. Try to create an ext2/3 partion with mini tool. And if minitool gives error than you probably have a defected sd.
And one more suggestion try the cwm in rafaels kernel thread.

Thanks for taking the time to talk me through this.
Turns out my SD card is defective, swapped for another card and I've now increased my internal storage!
I'll be sending the other one back.
Thank you again for your time :good:

Thanks for the link! seems like my CWM wasn't detecting sd-ext.. this fixed!! feared my sd card was ruined.. really thanks a lot!
I started playing with my Galaxy S2 I9100 recently after upgrading to a Galaxy S4 I9505 and trying custom ROMs. As the system partition wasn't big enough to install a ROM and a full Gapps package, I thought I'd try to change the partition table and increase the size of the FACTORYFS and DATAFS partitions at the same time reducing the size of the UMS partition.
My first attempt was to use parted through an ADB bridge with the phone in CWM recovery and doing so managed to get the phone working with the exception of the camera which immediately threw up the error 'Unfortunately camera has stopped working.' The Gallery app also doesn't work saying there is no storage present. When using the print function of parted, there was a msftres flag indicated for the FAT32 formatted UMS partition.
I have since used PITmagic to set FACTORYFS to 1GB and DATAFS to 4GB but interestingly when using the print function in parted, DATAFS and UMS had nothing listed under filesystem. I was able to get the DATAFS partition to ext4 using the wipe data function in CWM recovery but am unable to get the UMS partition formatted to FAT32. I have tried flashing busybox to use the mkdosfs or mkfs.vfat commands but these are unable to format a partition of the size that my UMS currently is set at.
Does anyone know of a way to reformat the internal UMS partition back to FAT32?
I eventually got this sorted but it seemed like a fairly complicated process. Firstly I used PITmagic to prepare a PIT file which I flashed using Odin. All the necessary files and instructions por PIT Magic can be found in the links below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
By booting into recovery (either CWM or TWRP will work for this) I was able to format some of the partitions but not all. I then used parted which is included in both CWM or TWRP to print out the partition table. Where a partition was not what it should be I removed it then recreated it using the guide I found for a kindle fire in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388996
Note that ext4 partitions cant be created in parted so I created them as ext2 partitions and upgraded them as in the guide. The big problem with the FAT32 partition for UMS is that it gets the msftres flag set owing to a bug in parted. However by flashing the same PIT file as before through odin this can be removed.
Now my camera works as the UMS partition mounts properly.
Hi all.
I'm trying to make a last backup of the stock Android of my Swift 2x before flashing LineageOS. But TWRP (version 3.3.0-0) Seems unable to use the /data partition. I got various messages like:
Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.
Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)
I tried to format the partition: Wipe -> advanced wipe -> repair or change filesystem -> change filesystem -> ext4 but it didn't change anything.
What's wrong? What can I do?
Thanks a lot for any hint.
bumping this thread as I also ran into this issue.
When using TWRP, the data and system partitions can't be mounted. they also show up as being 0mb in size.
Because of this, no backups can be made and a full system wipe also yields errors.
What I did was change the filesystem to ext2 and then change it back again to ext4.
Doing this at least allowed me to flash crdroid, but making backups still doesn't work.
Whenever i go into TWRP again, it's the same thing again: unable to mount and partitions show up as 0 mb in size.
Anyone know what's causing this?
Wileyfox encrypts there data when you factory reset your device or after youve rooted your device .To get around this you need to do a factory reset using stock recovery once thats done then turn off the device. Then using minimum adb and fastboot type (fastboot boot twrp.img) that will boot your already installed twrp now erase data internal storage etc you'll notice you can finally delete stock os youll see internal storage is showing mbs available again etc worked for me perfectly.
